Good day, all!

Kyle mentioned probably the worst of them - the Hamilton Glass Works No. 2 atmospheric sealers, though we have had our share of other criers over the past 5 years or so.

First is a James Mills bottle out of St. Catherines. Most likely a Canada West pieces (pre-1867), and if not that old, then very close. Regardless, a tough one, and when it came out all there except for everything above the shoulder, we were heart broken. That was the same pit as the Hamilton Glass Works jars. Not a single embossed piece came out of that pit intact!

Status: offline 		Next was a pit we believe to have been from a local liquour distributor. Not terribly deep, around 5', and absolutely full of glass... just nothing intact. Two common patent medicines came out intact, that's it. The real clencher was the presence of over 85 blackglass English ale bottles, many of them iron pontiled. The photo shows a number of the bases lined up beside the pit, and more came out after that!

Looks like you got lucky with that dig, lucky you didn't fry yourself.  Those drop pipes on poles are filled with electric lines, usually to feed a structure or a utility.  The pipe usually stops around the frost line, and it's just wires till the up pipe.  It only takes hitting one of those lines once, as there's no protection or fuses to save you.  Be careful around poles, live to dig another day.

Status: offline 		I found the town dump at a ghost town [population 3000 in late 1800s/early 1900s now maybe 10 or so] Shards of glass littered the ground and a straight sided local soda bottle lay whole and near mint on top of the ground ! I thought this is the day I have been waiting for! I imagined bitters ,cokes ,meds.of all sorts in all colors! Then I started digging and digging for days and found mostly straight sided cokes .beer bottles,whiskeys,plain food jars [these people were hard working poor people mining iron ore ,that is why so many bottles were alcohol,soda ,food] there was not one whole bottle found! The bottles were all just small shards! Kids having a good time rock throwing? Anyway I did get the bottle that was on top of the ground,but wow if all the cokes had been whole !

Status: offline 		Hi Doug, I'm with you on the mocha. I love it almost as much as the glass. My one digging buddy, if it's not a bottle and whole, back in the pit it goes. I have to beat on him to slow down to find pottery pieces or good bottle shards in hopes of gluing it back together. Unfortunately, most pottery was not discarded unless it was already broken, and with the shallow dipped pits we have here, we rarely get most or all of the pieces. This pitcher is one of my favorites, I was tempted to redig the pit to look for the missing pieces!
