Early Summer Finds...

DeepSeaDan · Jul 8, 2020

Really enjoying the warm water searches of summer! Here's a few of my finds thus far:

A nice Godfrey's Cordial

My first-ever intact clay pipe, commemorating a fellow from P.E.I. who volunteered to help Britain fight the Boer War

A Chas Wilson hutch, a nice multi-faced med., and a no-dot Crown jar

Plenty of summer left to hunt! Hope to be back with more finds soon. Happy hunting / collecting!

Love the look of that jar

Those are some really nice finds! Pontilled meds are pretty tough to find in Canada, and that commemorative pipe is really cool, never seen that one before. And that Crown jar came out beautifully frosted.

I've been finding things but nothing too old , never found a clay pipe before

Found this as well, damaged, but still pretty cool; was wondering if this could be repaired? It's a pontiled Northrop & Lymans Canadian Hair Dye:

Look around in lakes and rivers near locations of old hotels - this has worked for me!

Yes indeed, my only other pontiled bottles are of American origin. The jar came out of the sand, which keeps the glass clean, and is likely responsible for the frosted appearance.

Here's a link to the story of the pipe:
