we had a nice dig, the hole dated late 17's to 1810ish. 2 early saltglazed vessels were the best finds along with a very early green London mustard. Lot's of broken staffordshire unfortunately very little went back together.
I was thrilled to death when I saw the results this tumbling job. The same guy who was involved in the Pa Rick controversy did the job. These two weren't terribly sick but still required alot or prep to preserve their original integrity.
Tired of not having my Hampton's displayed was incentive to grab this shelf that was being tossed by my good friend. Luckily it was easy to install.
Thanks Jeff
Need to work on getting a picture that shows the true colors, this seems to lack red to grape tones these bottles are famous...
Anyone see the article I wrote about these bottles? It is running in the bottle Magazine this month. I'm very proud of it and would like to thank all that helped!
I was talking to my friend about digging a couple Oniell bottles at a permission his wife lined up.... Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined us yankin this out of the ground in Baltimore today!!!
A friend had this at the Balt show last Mar. I was excited because you don't see these too often. Some have glass stoppers included not sure the insides were ground for this? This one isn't. It was found with label and contents the guy who had it before removed and dumped out. Probably not...
We found this pressed milk glass tooth, I'm not sure what it would be used for. The tips of the root are ground down and will stand on a flat surface. The other side is heavily recessed inward. Any ideas what someone would do with this?
We were digging a little woodliner and it was kind of last ditch. We started it a few digs back and it was packed with crushed broken brick and clay so we gave up on it. Yesterday we didn't have much else to dig so we went back to it. The whole time we dug we were going back and forth, you want...
These forgotten ornaments were picked up over the last few years in attics around town, and reassembled into our eclectic nativity scene! Anyone else have interesting decorations to share???
Merry Christmas everybody!!!

I found this in Baltimore a couple digs ago. It's new to one to me and not listed. It's late 70's early 80's. If anyone has info. please share. I figure it's probably from Baltimore there is a Morris in the Balt. book.
While driving through the picturesque PA countryside, we encountered many beautiful old homes that looked ripe for digging- all permissions, of course. Couldnt resist taking a picture of this.
Recently dug this 6" smaller sized Radam's. Listed in Agee's book as super-good. If my memory is correct didn't Glassworks recently auction one??? Any help appreciated.
