Yesterday's Dig... - 4/10/2010 11:00:27 AM    Staunton Dan Posts: 2251 Joined: 5/5/2005 From: Batesville, VA Status: offline Not a whole lot to show for 7-1/2 hours of digging but I had a few keepers. Here's the best. I don't usually find whole jugs but this one showed up and suprisingly was all there without any cracks. It's only a half gallon also which makes this jug a keeper indeed. I looked very hard for a signature but couldn't find one. I think that it may be locally made.

It looks like it had bluing in it. I would have thought whiskey. It was probably re-used after the whiskey was gone. It has an applied drippy lip. These are attributed to the Baltimore Glass Works.

It too has a drippy applied lip and is a 1/2 pint. I think that they were also made at the Baltimore Glass Works.

The local Wayt's medicine in the smaller size on the left is the only one I have ever seen. I have only found a few of the larger size on the right. I recently sold one of the larger ones for $50 so the small one was a great find indeed.

I believe that it is from a 1/2 gallon jar. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Just when you think that you have life figured out, someone changes the rules.

The ground really does a number on these. I also found a domed button probably from the civil war period. Except for the back, which was all there, it crumbled when I touched it. I have found other Confederate buttons here in the past plus 2 US belt buckles so thinking that this was a civil war button is probably not out of the question.
