Default Found old whiskey flask

Howdy folks,
The webmaster was out digging the other day but not using my detector, I was digging a ditch :(

As I was digging I spotted the glass and figured I broke it with the post hole digger but to my surprise it was not :D

I would say this flask is 100 year old or better.
Well the digging went much slower after the find and my customer probably was wondering why in the hell it was taking so long to finish the ditch

Found an old hatchet along with some older crock pieces.

Next trip my detector will come along

Nice find there. I am wondering how you kept from breaking it with the post hole diggers.
