Schweeet finds!
Do you think some of these finds were buried during the hurricane in 1900? Really interesting!Been a while since I posted a dig here so figured I'd get one up. Went digging last Sunday and ended up digging 5 holes. First was a trash pit-found one local pharmacy bottle. Second through fourth holes were duds...stuff was too new (1930's). Fifth hole was a nice 4' x 4' x 6' privy loaded with glass from 1900-1915 or so. Mostly broken, but I did rustle up 4 more local pharmacy bottles, a couple local hutch sodas, a very hard to find large Galveston brewing bottle (these commonly come in a smaller size but this larger (quart?) size is the first intact one I have dug in 7 years), and a super hard to find Galveston flask...also the first of this variation I have dug in 7 years. A super hole and I'm aching to get back out and do some more digging this coming weekend!
Wow that Hosp. Dept. bottle is incredible! And so is that syphon you dug earlier as well. For the lid, I'm pretty sure it says "produits chimiques" - chemical products. Too bad the part with the company name is too corroded to read. I wonder how that bottle came to have a French stopper in it.Interestingly, the USA Hosp. Dept. bottle had a cork in it that appears to say ?doits Nimiques. Certainly looks to be French but I have no idea what it means...likely the bottle was reused for something.
