    clay pipe bits

    just one more--any one else find great numbers of clay pipe bits while digging? These are all montreal companies-Bannerman, Henderson etc from around mid 1800s Picture reduced in size - please see Help - Using the Forum ---> Uploading a Picture - Admin

    What would be the 'holy grail' of bottle finds?

    now that's a cool idea. I've been collecting the bits of flow-blue and transferware pottery that always turn up in my dig. Someday I'll grout them together and make a frame. or something.

    What would be the 'holy grail' of bottle finds?

    Thanks. The thought that Philada might be a shortform for the city had occurred to me, but i thought..too easy!

    What would be the 'holy grail' of bottle finds?

    Neat. Sounds like it is a subject thas crossed a few minds ....Speaking of incomplete bottles--is it ever worth it to keep broken bottles? I glued a few back together, but i'm running out of room in the window sills to display them. ---Also, i found a "wyeth & Bro Philada" the other day...

    what is a 'tumbler'?

    Hey all. So here's a stupid question---what exactly, is a bottle tumbler? My son has a rock tumbler, but i'm thinking it would be BAD for bottles........!

    Ghost or Paranormal

    Well, great. Now i'm too creeped out to dig my own dump. Actually, now that i think if it--my neighbour says that the ghost of Charlotte, a woman whose headstone we found in our dump area,...is turning her TV on and off. Go figure.

    Found yet another dump..

    We're covered with poison ivy here too. So far i'm immune, but husband and son are itchy weepy disasters.

    What's your Occupation?

    Yeah, unfortunately i bought mine second hand and minus instructions. The On/Off concept I figured out myself, though. Its not at all a powerful model, but it does a dandy job of finding hidden nails in boards i am about to run through the planer.
