Helped a buddy dig some trash pits, an older one and a 40's one and found much of the usual stuff like a few Caldwell's bottles and a wick assembly.A reminder to all to check the knob wheel for info. The trigger guard is nice but I really like the transfer print shard. Anybody recognize the inset mark on the back? looks like AG.MEAS...I tried in vain to find something on it but think it may be an imported tile?? Thanks for lookin, vn

Love those in situ pictures. Great trigger guard, that spot looks pretty cool. Thanks for sharing villagenut and good luck in your future hunts!

If a trash pit had many years of usage, you might consider digging it out to see how old it goes. The older bottles may be down there.
 

Glass bottle was completed? ..have to worth $$ something

Not a lot of value in these bottles. While I like finding a "hard to find" specimen, I am not in this for the money...if I was I would be no better off. As most diggers would say, we do it for the thrill,fun,and therapy of it.
