Today's goodies - 2/13/2009 8:50:25 PM    appliedlips Posts: 3508 Joined: 1/30/2005 Status: offline        Shag & I got out for a dig today in a yard I've been waiting for over 3 yrs..It was a stoneliner so we knew it would be old based on experience in the area.At about 6 ft. we hit a small layer and right away a half pint Pike's Peak (OLD RYE) EAGLE (PITTSBURGH) rolled out.It was perfectly clean with no stain,not the norm in our neck of the woods.An early smooth based,willoughby stopple jar came out next with the stopple.A few nice local druggists and some other decent 60's meds showed up.This layer ended quickly and at about 8 or 9 ft.there was another small layer that had been dipped heavily.Everything in the layer was pontilled but mostly smashed,including a green IP petal jar in 2 pieces.Right next to the jar, I pulled out a 160 yr. old chicken egg with not even a hairline,go figure..Other than a couple puffs we hadn't seen a bottle in over an hour and while scraping down the fill on one side,I pulled out a blue bottle that made the day even if nothing else showed up.Towards the end while rooting through the smashed up dipped layer an ink came flying out on the scratcher.It was a teakettle in a crazy teal,peacock blue color.     Dirty old,blue bottle Attachment (1) < Message edited by appliedlips -- 2/13/2009 10:51:00 PM > _____________________________ LOOKING FOR PONTILLED OR EARLY SQUAT SODAS FROM HIGHLAND,ILLNOIS..
