    Finally broke the dry spell

    I've been digging alot of holes and coming home with just a couple of marbles(that's on a good day). My fellow diggers were starting to think i was jinxed. Well hopefully this is a turn around. Blade and I dug this blob pit about a week ago, just now got around to resizing and posting. Funny...

    A real crier

    Proof you just never know

    Went and dug a permission today, its been on my to do list for awhile. The pits are under an addition ot the house, but I figured I probe for a trash pit for something to do. Poked around the small yard and found a huge clump of bricks about 2-3 feet down, and once through that it was solid ash...

    Some goodies and a crier

    Got a permission and probed out 2 pits on it. Started digging and found out the pontil pit was already dug[:@] but as is seemingly often the case. The 1880s age pit wasn't dug. So one outta 2 aint bad. [:D] We got some good stuff. My favorite is the bean pot, its whole with only 2 little glaze...

    Digging liability form

    Does anybody have a liabilty form file they could send me ? Normally I would just pass on the permission, but this guy owns alot of properties and alot are pontil age. So, I'll jump thru his hoops to get to dig them. Thanks [:D]

    Drakes base question

    I just got a drakes plantation bitters a few days ago, and can't figure out the base. I can't decide if it's IP without any residue, or a hinge mold. Whats everybodys guess.

    Another score for today. Anybody have an idea of the value of this bottle ? I've found plenty of info just no ballpark price. The embossing reads ' Gerhard lang's buffalo lager Washington D.C. branch' with a trademark seal in the middle. Thanks

    Bottle Auction scores big

I scored 16 bottles in all, with 7 being proprietors I didn't have. It even includes to IP sodas ! The...

    Nice pit and a big heartbreaker for me

    Dug another pit that had some stuff in it . Nothing worth jump up and down about , but some fun stuff for everybody. The pit was 1880ish stuff, years before someone dug the pontil pit and left this one for us. We did dig up 2 broken blobs I needed for my collection. [:(] THe one was the real...

    Is this Ink english or american made ?

    Found this guy in the pit I dug Thursday. Was wondering is it English or American made ? There is no embossing of any kind, and the lip is finished not sheared. Has a nice pontil scar on bottom. Finally rough guesstimate of value ?
