TROUBLE!! If the still and the mason jars are still there.

This reminds me of the zinc jar lids I found with the broken glass seals still inside. I found them in an old roadbed next to a modern road. With all the beer cans and bottles from current and past generations I wondered if maybe, just maybe, these could have been tossed out the window of a moonshine runners car. They were not really close to each other and there were no jars to be found, they were also about 6inches deep. I may just be trying to imagine a more romantic past for them, they could just as easily fallen out of a wagon or something when the old road was in use. I'll never know, but it is fun to speculate! I'll post a pic sometime.

Hopefully you don't run into this guy... Not likely since old Popcorn is dead but shiners don't take to people messing with their stuff. He lived about 20 minutes South of here. Check the bottom of any Mason jars. A number 13 is worth a few bucks and there are also many valuable varieties made over the years. We saw one at the local flea market last Sunday that was a light Brown color. First I've ever seen. It wasn't cheap.
