    Snorkeling finds

    You've got a sharp eye...that's a really small arrowhead! Very nice!

    Insulator Folks - what do you make of this one

    Even the drip points are all intact. For coming from a dump full of metal and rocks, it's pretty good. Makes me think of all those light bulbs I find in dumps. How do they survive???

    Insulator Folks - what do you make of this one

    It appears to be the earliest variety of 113s

    Insulator Folks - what do you make of this one

    This is a great one...it's in such pristine condition for coming out of a dump! It's a CD 113 I think, although I'm not the best at IDing the insulators.

    Little Carters Indelible Ink Sample

    I was just looking through some bottles I'd washed recently. I almost always save out the little cork bottles I find, even if they're not that special just because I think the little ones are so cool (and I can get away with storing them easily!). Anyhow, I looked closer at this one and...

    help- please?

    I agree...we need pictures. I'm trying to visualize if you're in the house or out of the house. If you're in the house, I would say it's sounds like a cistern. Many people had them under their houses.

    You wouldn't believe it if I told you, but I'll tell you anyways...

    George, I haven't sent it yet. Do you have a reliable one in mind

    Oh - I was gonna say too that I've found a couple of old purse clasps with a little material left - I got real excited that someone accidentaly threw out their coin purse, but no luck!!

    Cap, Yeah, I'm generally a stickler about sifting. I sifted an entire burned-out home from the mid-1800s once. The dump Im doing, though, is so big that I don't sift as I dig...I do them seperate. I like to go out in the winter when the ground is too hard to dig. It's not as hard to knock a...

    Ahh! Good question! Actually, I very rarely sift as I go in the dump, just because it's so bloomin' big. I do go back and sift it later on, but this was not in a part that I had planned to sift at all because it was mostly clay and rusty metal...not much "little junk" like marbles and stuff...

    Funny! Yeah, I always check for silver, but most of those rare ones have been pulled out of circulation long ago. I hear stories of guys going to the bank and seeing an old lady come in with rolls of old silver to turn in, so they buy it from the bank, but until now I've never had my lucky...

    Chris, That would be $4800.00 Sound steep? It IS! The Redbook value for a low grade like mine would be anywhere from 2500 to 5000. Yikes!!!

    That's funny, Rick!! I've only seen one of these 1916 coins on e*ay, and it went for $4800.00 in pretty rough condition...

    Some days fortune favors pure chance.... I was standing on top of one of my dirt piles from my early 1900s dump. I decided to dig a little hole to bury some odds and ends common bottles that I didn't want lying around to attract others to my dump. So I dug a hole, maybe 2'x2'x2'. The last...

    My Ink collection

    Nice collection. Can you tell me more about the cobalt ink? I think I found one exactly like it, but there's not much on it for me to ID it...

    CERTO brown bottle

    Brains, I was thinking that too...after my post I went to my collection and looked, and I do have a green one as well - well, it appears to be like a certo...it has the 1/2 cup arrows and line, but not an indented "label area" like the certos. Wonder if it was a "wannabe" certo. Interesting...

    Whilst the snow flies - some Chems...

    Hello all. I think you can see in the background of my picture what's happening outside my window. Actually, it's not bad weather to dig in...I don't mind the cool, but I don't dig on Saturdays. So anyhow, I've had these chemical bottles, which I think are really cool, sitting around for a...

    Insulators on a metal holder

    They certainly do. There are a few on this forum, too. Try posting this over in the "what is it" forum. Here's a website to help you ID them: http://www.nia.org/general/index.htm Yooper
