As you can see, I'm playing catch-up with all my digs from the last few weeks/months. I visited the salt marsh twice last month, with decent results. I found a lot of fruit jars, some with original contents still inside! Sorry, no pics of those.

Nice patina, unfortunately it flaked off rather quickly.

Great post. You can't take too many pictures. We're these surface finds as well?

No, all of these were dug! It's a very hard dump to dig too, between your rake getting slippery and prying giant chunks of fused-together trash out of the muck, you definitely work for what you find. When I first came across this spot, you couldn't even tell it was a dump.

I've got one of those measuring cups that was around the house all my life. You need to show everyone the Kellogg's embossing that shows when you look at the bottom from the top. Neat finds!

Were you the one who posted last year or two years ago on a marsh dig? I remember that it never seemed complete, and I'd been waiting to see what else came up.

Wonderful!!

Yeah, that was me! It's far from over, lots more ground to cover (acres), but the biggest hot spots have been hit.

I love that State Board of Health cup! Hospital ware has always been something I've wanted to find.
