Went back to a dig spot along Detroit River today. Was only there less then 1/2 hour, Pulled out the Geo Norris Soda Hutch from around 1905, then left. Cleaned up real nice. LEON.

Hey Leon, what's your set up for takin pic's of bottles? I've been tryin to get pic's of a couple of embossed bottles I've found recently and nothing ever seems to work. My roomate has a degree in photography but she's a film snob :???: and wants nothing to do with digital. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Putting a light behind the bottle usually helps show up the embossing. LEON.
