Privy seed layer

I have grown several tomato plants from an 1870-1880s pit. I used the seeds that I washed out of the bottles after cleaning. I have tried with seeds from the dirt and never had success growing anything. Some of seeds in the bottle were kept dry or airtight and I think that is the key.

Nope its not a probe hole. I found the pieces in different parts of the pit and I one piece was a couple feet higher than the others. Bill, I dug one of those buffalo Blue Licks broken a few years ago. I didn't have enough of it to glue back together. There was an unembossed bitters in the...

A few of the finds from this weekend

I guess the decantor bottle could be a sample wiskey but it would not have been much of a sample. I had seen one of the McCormics on a different site that had it listed as a posion. I guess they were wrong. Thanks for the info. HH Tim

This bottle is neat. I am guessing it's a perfume but looks like a miniature decantor.

I got out this weekend and did a little digging. This was the biggest heartbreaker in the hole. I wish I could find all the shards to glue back. I'll try to post some other finds later. HH Tim

Any idea what these are

They aren't pipe stems because they they are only hollow in the fat end and and the narrow end has no hole going through it. I guess the other pieces could be from a fan. I just figured that there would be more of them if it came from a fan. Tim

Any idea what these are

I found the to two items in an 1850s-60s privy and the bottom two in another that was the same age. They are carved ivory but do any of you have an idea what they were used for? Thanks, Tim
