Oh Yeah!! Digging tomorrow on a street that knows nothing about empty pits. The last one we dug was the best pit we've ever dug. I'll keep you posted!

Just in case any one wanted a shot at one of those porters I dug in February.

Thanks, Ant
Does anyone have a red book value on a mason's quart with a G on the front? I'd never seen one before.
I guess it must be old because it came out of a pontil pit... so the 1858 date might actually be legitimate!
Thanks, Ant
I finally got that video from that killer dig up. WOW so much to learn! The resolution on my camera was great but got messed with while downloading to you tube... still have to figure that out.
Lots of bottles not even filmed! what was I thinking? too excited I expect :)...
Dug a pit yesterday which was 9ft deep. That is DEEP for this neck of the woods. The newest bottle was 1880 but at the bottom it was 1850-60.
There was SO much broken pontiled glass it was amazing.
I have no pictures but a lot of video which I will put up on the tube next week sometime...
I've not posted any digs in a while... so here's a quart flask we dug a month ago. We did get a rare local ale out of the pit too. Maybe I'll post that later.
These flasks are not too rare but are unusual as they only advertise the glassmaker.

The Illinois bottle book is done!
"From Chicago to Cairo"
Over 700 glossy color pages of all known Illinois Bottles and their history from 1840-1880.
This book has taken over 2 years to be professionally researched and published and is about 2 1/2" thick!
This is a good day for...
Glad to see this on the forum. I picked up a bunch of marbles (over 600) and here are a few of the nicer looking ones.
I would like to know if any of them have any value... Thanks, Anthony
Hi Folks,
Anyone from Oneonta NY on here? I ran into a late 1870's applied lip Amber blob T J Baker beer a guy had, I was wondering if it was any good.
Also had some other stuff that I will post later today.
