    ISO pat d, xmas or 1915 FARMVILLE VA

    JBO, are you sure there are 1923 farmville cokes? I know there are 1915s, but not sure I have seen an Xmas one. I have a Farmville Chero for you, just gotta get it to you somehow...

    Question about creeks

    Hey JBO, keep in mind that the area around us (JBO and I search the same general areas) has been heavily picked for a number of years. Even when I arrived in the area back in the late 70's the area had already been scoured pretty well. I was a bit bitter about being late to the party, but I...

    RARE BOTTLE (?)

    I collect Cincy pontils, this is a good bottle, but I don't know about $610. I believe there are a couple versions of the Wilke panelled bottle, and this this is the rarer variant (now that Wil's Bottle Den "American Pontiled Soda Database" is no more, I am not the "expert" that I used to...

    Royal beverage bottle, Cincinnati Ohio

    Wow that brings back some memories... I dug a bunch of Royals in an old fairgrounds dump when I was kid living in northern Ky just across the Ohio River. The one pictured was pretty scarce, only found one like that. I believe it was the first bottle style used by Royal, the later ones were...

    any bottles you regretted selling later on ?

    Really just this one, bad pic, but a TOC "Drink Pepsi Cola, It's Delicious and Healthful" from Lynchburg, Va. One of the best one's I dug myself that I sold, kinda miss it sometimes...

    FINALLY MY FIRST 2 HUTCHES!!!

    Congratz, hutches have been tough to come by for me, in my 50+ years of digging I think I have only dug 2 or 3, the most recent coming over 40 years ago... I have actually found many more pontilled sodas than hutches.

    Walking lots

    Nice looking top on that Moroney & Conner, I dug one years ago in Suffolk Va. of all places - but did not look as nice as yours. Smooth base?

    Woods surface find

    Went hiking through some nice woods in central Va. on Sunday, came across this on an exposed hillside, looked like someone had just dropped there about a week ago - surprised it was overlooked in such a heavily hunted (deer) area for so long. Not particularly rare, but I am always happy to find...

    A killer and crier day of digging!

    Any idea what the pontiled rectangular Connecticut medicine was? Also love the base on the umbrella, I like collecting the transitional molds as much as the pontils (looks like a hinge, yes?).

    BOB DEVER aka GILLIGAN from the old sitcom GILLIGAN'S ISLAND

    Just watched video on link provided, was surprised to see familiar faces, I used to know a couple of the featured Baltimore diggers years ago, actually purchased alot of pontiled glass (such as the one below) from them over the years. Very nice fellas, I wonder if they are still at it....

    BOB DEVER aka GILLIGAN from the old sitcom GILLIGAN'S ISLAND

    I wonder if Gilligan ever dug a Gilligan:

    Good to be back

    Still sitting in my shed caked in mud... I plan on going back to dig site next weekend to add to the wash load, will clean em when I get a decent batch. Gee I've gotten lazy in my old age.

    Good to be back

    Haven't been doing any actual digging for some time, usually just scout along creeks/rivers for easy pickings these daze, but was fun getting back in the mud. Found overlooked seam on very heavily dug well-known town dump which was loaded with sodas, most prolly 1910ish to mid 20s - way too many...
