We had a construction site open up in an old section of the city a few weeks ago and the decited to dig the whole block down about 6-10 feet It was nice to dig the bottom few feet of some great early privies every evening after the construction crew laid off. Heres some pictures of some of our finds.

Chris ,
I thought you might know Larry . I have gotten some nice bottles from Larry Marshall in the past . When he was a Florida resident I used to see him at a few of the Southern Shows.
He I believe is collecting Colored pontiled Meds now. And he also has a fantastic collection of L.Q.C. Wisharts .
Maybe I will get a chance to meet you at the Baltimore Show . Are you attending ?
C ya' , Brian

I am going to go crazy if spring does'nt get here soon. The ground here is already pretty well frozen, and with -15 degree wind chill I don't think I want do be outside digging for too long. I love the pontil snuffs the most. I have an E. Roome in smokey olive green, and an aqua Doc Marshalls Cartaarh snuff. I have not dug many privys but this spring I do have 5 lined up at a 1850's house site. I just hope thet turn out good. I have been on your site many times and have read every dig that you have done. Seeing all of the great bottles you dig just make me drool.
