A good friend gave me this, Obelisk Brand Pickles/Beach&Sherwood/NY
Has (obviously) a picture of an obelisk and some little trees on each side of it. Any idea of value?
Poked around in the woods Sunday the 7th, what the heck is this glass boy? He is naked, one hand up to his mouth like he's doing the "speak no evil" sign, the other hand is behind his back, and the base is flared out with about 3 threads on where something screwed onto it. Is it a candy...

Had a great time hunting creeks with E today, great guy! We covered a lot of ground and a lot of water. The area was new to me so I was basically walking in his footsteps thru the brush on a creekbank and he stepped right over a water moccasin, I yelled out "HOLY F&*!ING S#%T!" and he turns...

It's my new favorite brown bottle!
Here she is throwing out a common. She can't move dirt worth a crap but for some reason I keep taking her along. I also have ocean front property in Arizona 4 sale...
I pondered tossing this when I (we) found it but I liked the shape, looked like a really short beer bottle. Cleaned it off earlier and it has JGB SIEGERT & SONS round the top and round the bottom. Googled it, interesting family story about him and Angostura Bitters. So I guess this is a bitters...
Hey all, went digging with my partner today, it was a lovely 92 degrees. We spent most of the 4 hours moving dirt by the 5 gallon bucket load but managed to find a few nice items. Actually John found most of it and then offered to let me have it all cause some knuckleheads got into his car and...
Buttons, marbles, a nice saucer, a child tea set saucer, and what appear to be marbles, I thought marbles were all glass? The nickel is there for size reference for that jumbo 'marble'.
Went and dug with my partner today for roughly 5 hours, here's some highlights. First pic is the 11 bags we brought back, we left 2. (His Yugo only has so much room, BAM!)
Here are some photos of most of the items we found last week, follwed by a few we found Sunday. My partner came over Friday night with what he had been cleaning. Then we went Sunday and came back with 6 more bags of goodies. We found a newspaper dated August 13th 1921! And lot's of Vasaline...
Went digging at an old dump with a friend, we have maybe 12 hours total time invested, found about 600 items. Bottles (with and without corks), marbles, glass and ceramic lids, round lenses from old spectacles, silverware, apothocary stoppers, deacanter stoppers, stuff we don't even know what...
