I know how I get when I get into a good, early pit and have never dug one of that magnitude. Was that Turners shard aqua? it looks colored in the photos. I think there are maybe 2-3 open pontiled ones known. I collect Saratogas so I'm curious what the John Clarke looked like (there are a few diff. varients). Any chance of a photo? Keep the great stories coming!!!!!!

Good stoneware (1 local), rare druggists, a cathedral pickle and other goodies. No sodas yet, just a stoneware ginger beer, but hopefully they're in there.

Glad to see that we both had a good day! Congrats to you and Paul, you guys earned that haul. ~Jim

Status: offline 		I will take pix today and show you the aftermath,(yea its still open) we are going to fill it in, this was a double 6x4 on the bottom, and a single on top,1870s to 50s, two two privies in one, that's why it took a week, and also the fact that we could only dig after work, and it was only in the 90s every day so that didn't slow us down much, every dig we do we can leave open, well we cover it good obvisly,other diggers have said just what you did, we have to dig it in (one) day and fill it, there is no way in Hell O that we could do that with pits around here, but yes this one was long to finish, its  just the way it unfolded, plus the people are so cool in this town, that they let us use there electricity for our fan and light hahaha now that's liven! all's we needed was a tv down there lol,and 99% do not care if we don't finish in one day, I hope that answered your question, one dig we did we where there a month! 22 footer 10 foot use layer, oh that's another thing about this last dig, the use layer was like black thick glue and it was very hard to get bottles out, the bucket weighed 20 pounds with nuttin in it, so you get the picture, time time time its on our side yes it is.

Status: offline 		Yea Brain its a G 38, a friend of mine just sent me a link  from Heckler The one he showed me went for 8,000, but I best stop talking about this for (what its worth) I wont sell it if its worth 20 Gs, I don't know much about this one but if its a variant it may be more, The color is weird on this one, its dark right on the Eagle there's light and dark all over the flask, I may get it tumbled because I cant get the black muck out its rock hard and not a thing is working, how does the tumbling deal work I guess you have to send the bottle to the guy obviously.

Status: offline 		We (started) the fill in today, that hole was 6 foot x 5 at least, and the muck on the bottom was not just use layer it was black glue that made it hard to dig bottles out, so that's what took so long on this dig, but like I said before the people are cool, brought us drinks and food, man it don't get no better, good food, good people good bottles lol, any way when we started filling it in I found a Hooflands German Bitters liver complaint in the fill, it was aqua, and an open pontil we must have missed that one, back to the hole, we tossed a few barrels in a lawn chair and some rocks, that will keep it from sinking! we also got the boards out from the bottom of the pit preserved and all in good shape, Zane said they might be (worth) something so I thought I would make a bottle shelf out of the 6 footer hahahahah!!! its cool to be holding some thing that was put in  by the owner of that house in the 1850s blows my mind,thats why I love this hobby you never know what to expect, so here are some pix, the last pix for this dig that was really good to us. Rick this is the fun part! NOT!
