      Oh man, that would be fantastic. example questions How long does the outhouse last. Are they hiding the booze bottles? Is it the only way to throw things out? dDo you display your good ones. what is your oldest bottle? If you need more questions just ask. Great Idea.

I found 10 beautiful arrowhead one day in turkey creek/ glenmore Louisiana years back( we sprayed timber land ). It rained bad the night before and they just bladed the woods road. I went out early to check road conditions and they were everywhere. Few years later my soon took them to school and handed them out to his friends.

    My parents were friends with descendant of Alonzo Bliss. The product was bliss’ rubbing linament. At one time we had a case of that product. We were also given several Alonzo Bliss, Bliss Rubbing Linament wall thermometers. The linament must have mostly been ethanol and most of it had evaporated. The bottles were more modern with an unusual Bakelite cap that had a smaller cap centered on top for limiting the amount of linament that was dispensed.

  • @FourKnown

    IMHO the item you thought might be a blown cane is most likely a glass whimsey or end-of-day piece. The blowers would have some fun at the end of the day. I've dug hundreds of privies, but in my day we didn't have the easy to use video cameras. You could make your life easier, especially caving in the sides by using a four-tined potato fork with the two outside tines cut off. We always used these. Makes the whole dig go three times faster. But glad to see you're enjoying yourself, taking it slow and filming for others to enjoy. Very nicely done. Love the hutch :)
