Hi Chris;
Now that's what I'd say is being on the trail of the killer bottle when you can get that kind of age. Here in California when we get in to a round bricker in my favorite play grounds their usually 16 to 22 feet deep. Last one we dug a few weeks back was 22' deep and all 1890s. To new for what I'm after but we did get a few decent things including a very rare San Francisco Whiskey with an embossed deers head. Here's a pic.

Damn, 8 years for a reply. I wuzn't here then, but both digs deserved better response and some followup close-ups of all those great finds. Thanks Blade, for digging up this thread.

Chris is that lip on the Hohnberger common, it looks really thin compared to any ginger beer I know of?
