    anyone ever find a privy right next to a house?

    I live in an apartment that is part of a house built in 1840. I borrowed a probe that is 4 or 5 foot long from work, and decided to start poking around in the yard behind my place. There is an old back door that is now boarded up. You can tell because the trim is still there on the outside...

    This may be the first pontil I ever dug. However, it is broken. I really have limited knowledge on how to I.D. these, and how to guess its age. Can you guys help me out? What do you think? Pontil mark? A few photos to follow, both before and after rinsing it out. Thanks in advance, Dan

    Jar with character - any value?

    I'm not much of a jar guy, but this had enough character for me to pick up. I beleive it is a half gallon size atlas strong shoulder mason. I love the big old bubble in it and the amber/olive swirls. Too bad the lid is a Ball. It would be neat to have a matching atlas lid. So, jar...
