Recent dig

I have been real lazy posting digs lately and have only taken a few pics with my phone, but we have started to get back in the digging groove despite the nasty weather. This is a pic of an iron pontilled soda dug a couple weeks ago from a big rockliner. Not much in the hole but a pair of these and an OP Dr. Roger's Liverwort & Tar which exploded on the heated car ride home after being dug in 10 degree weather. These Lester's are common in these parts but this one cleaned up great, has a good amount of whittle and will stay on the shelf.

Some stuff needing to be cleaned, but I am lazy. The chamber pot is a nice one but not decorated like the dozen smashed ones in the hole[:'(]

Very rare local 60's era local ink, it has some lip damage unfortunately. Embossed CHILD & GRAHAM.

That is a super looking Lester Doug! I really love the Lester sodas. they came in many shapes and different sized embossings. There's even some known in cobalt. Very rare tho. Although many are common, they still are great looking sodas. Thanks for posting the pic!

Yeah, I have had the opportunity to see a cobalt one in a collection, I'd love to dig one.
