George & Matt came up today to dig, we located a house to dig. George goes into the back yard, says the pit is going to be right there, pointed to a spot, first push of the probe, bam privy. It was amazing, I had to laugh. It was a large yard and he picked out the spot exactly, there was no sink or anything. The pit turned out to be a circular stoneliner. We opened her up and right away a triloid poison pops out, then a skull/crossbones poison, then a broken coffin doh!, then an amber poison. IT was nuts. I was just waiting for the skull figural to pop out haha I wish. Didn’t hit much after that, we got a local hutch and some other common bottles. But the heart breaker of the hole was a FIGURAL INDIAN QUEEN BITTERS…..browns celebrated bitters pat 1867. Beautiful bottle I was heart broken but kept all the pieces to try to glue it back together, that didn’t work out to well but I have about 65% of it. The pit went about 8 ft deep and was filled with water from about 4ft down. All in all it was a fun pit, just a shame that Indian queen didn’t survive :( Digger Ry _____________________________ Professional Tumbling Services Digger Ry Style My Tumbling Page (in reply to PhilaBottles) Post #: 523

Those poisons are sweet. I  don't know why but I never find poisons. Jim from Lewistown is going to be jealous. Too bad about the Queen Bitters. What is the color. Looks green to me.

I have been finding a lot of them latly and probly 10 total this year. The queen however would have been much nicer, the color is the most common color dark amber, still a very hard bottle to dig as you can see this one smashed to pieces Digger Ry _____________________________ Professional Tumbling Services Digger Ry Style My Tumbling Page (in reply to tigue710) Post #: 527

We have a decent shot at finding an older pit this weekend. We already dug one there that was 70s-80s, but the original houses on the lot were late 1700s or VERY early 18s, so there is at least one good, old pit hiding out. Poisons sure are fun to dig. Other than the killer coffin that Gene got, we have dug a few poisons from the pits this year. One of my favorites was the clear STRYCHNIA POISON (strychnine!). Even the common little ambers are cool, you just don't find them every day. Good luck on your next pit, buddy. Hopefully, we will both have some goodies to post. ~Jim  _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 529

Anyway I got togeather with some of the guys yesterday and we dug two 8 ft pits. One was a round bricker, the other was a barrel for 4 ft and then turned into a round brick for the last 4 ft. Both were filled about the same hitting toc up high and on the bottom pulling out 70s stuff. Didnt do to well but we did manage about 20 or 30 keepers which inluded local meds, hutchs, wisebeer, blobs, marbles, yellow spa mineral water bottle (best find), and some other stuff. It was a fun dig even tho the pits were wet from about 2 ft down....and the temp out was in the 30's Only about 12 more days of digging left in 07, finish it off with a blast and make sure to be safe!!! take care Digger Ry _____________________________ Professional Tumbling Services Digger Ry Style My Tumbling Page (in reply to PhilaBottles) Post #: 531

This pit sucked, long story short was just a 5-6 footer dipped clean. Found a 2nd pit behind a very early 1830-40 house. The privy was inside the house actually in the addition. This pit turned out to be descent. It was a 3.5x3.5x6 woody started out 90s, then down about 5 ft it turned to a mix of 70s-60s, then at 5.5 it turned to water and bam pontil shards everywhere mixed with tons of early ceramics. First whole pontil was an iron pontil mineral water from central Pa. Then we pulled out some other pontils but were just puffs. Another squat, this one broken, then a local open pontil med. Some more random items, another squat, this one badly cracked. And after that last squat that was about the end of the hole. Some heartbreakers included, a historical flask, an amber case gin pig snout open pontil, a few more local pontil meds, and some very beautiful ceramics.  It was a great day to get out and enjoy the nice warm dec weather. Have a great Christmas Everyone. Digger Ry Christmas eve pontils _____________________________ Professional Tumbling Services Digger Ry Style My Tumbling Page (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 532

Hopefully, some of the ceramics will have all of the pieces there. We hit a pontil pit here last weekend, but there wasn't much in it. Not even a piece of a squattie, but we did get a couple of OP embossed meds and a few puffs. The weather is looking good for this week after Christmas, so we're going to get one more pit in for '07. Thanks for sharing the pics, I enjoyed them as usual.
