Outhouse diggers: Looking for gold(en bottles) in Butte

My friend James Campiglia sent me some nice bottle PR he’s getting up in Montana. Keep me posted and good luck! An email and link is noted below:

Hello Ferd,

Look at this nice bit of publicity we got. Not many bottles yet. Oddly a nice Tippecanoe was found whole. I don’t think those are dug often, although common. We have 2 collections from old time Butte diggers to look at tomorrow. Hope to dig some good stuff and take pics and do an article. The Chalmers Catawba was found by our friend Ray who is helping us dig, somewhere up here in Montana.

Take care, James
