It was near a rock wall, but more or less out away from the wall itself. I could see that there was old growth throughout the walled in field I was in, as well as large boulders, so it looked like it had never been completely cleared because of the huge boulders, so they felt it ok to dump trash in and around these rocks. There was a small volume of old and new stuff. The gem of the day for me was this pretty Lockport med. " W. MERCHANT / LOCKPORT, NY" Hinge mold base. It's about half way between aqua and emerald green. Tiny flake on the base, but otherwise great !

I dug a larger one last summer that was " Gargling Oil Lockport NY". Next to Stoddard stuff, I think Lockport is the most beautiful glass there is!

That thing just missed the pontil age. Lockport green is beautiful, there is no other color that is quite like it. I like seeing the broken beauties being brought back to life. I do the same thing, and I think they deserve it.  ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to downeastdigger) Post #: 10
