prohibition

  1. Hey was taking bottles about 1892 1940 in Minnesota and I found this pan and it has some strange symbols in it... Any ideas on what's going on?

    It was 6 ft deep I'm hoping that there was a moonshiner / farmer who buried some loot or stash some money here near where the bottle dump is and maybe scratch some symbols and some junk at the time so later when he's digging the stuff up and finds a junk it reminds him exactly where to go and...
  2. This is what I found today in the rain...

    Is that actually a purple bottle or is it for or paint leftover inside? Also haven't got a horseshoe for 3 digs but I got a bell each time kind of interesting. Also this might be my oldest Minnesota plate 1925 My lighting and photo conditions are bad and I didn't clean it at all so... And phone...
  3. 1 Pt. Stoneware Whiskey Jug

    1 Pt. Stoneware Whiskey Jug

    This is a 1 Pt. whiskey jug that I excavated on the site of an old speakeasy that operated in the early 1920's. It was most certainly used to store illicitly manufactured/imported alcohol during prohibition. Found June 16th 2023.
