My Buddy Tom seen a spot worth Checking out because of some shards left behind by the Construction crew. SO, After work we figured we'd poke around. Tom thought he felt a good spot with his Probe, I didn't feel much & wasn't expecting much. BUT, We did strart finding some Broken Blob Top Beers & other Interesting shards so kept digging. At first found about 6-7 bottles that were Slicks. Then I see a huge Jug Top. LEON.

Probably Dug over 10 big Jugs or Crocks similar to this one but every time they been busted up & broken in at least 10 or more pieces. This one was coming out whole & complete for once. LEON.

Even though it looked whole, It took me a minute to realize the little nubbies on top & side was from the handle missing. We left prematurely before we could find the handle. Maybe on a return trip? LEON.

Here are some more dig pictures. I was nice to scout out a spot and find something. Our first 2 outings this spring have been duds. There is still a larger ashy area to dig so I hope our luck holds up. This seems to be like a trash area that was like right out the back door of the old house. The privys must be there also. Tom

That is a beautiful jug, handle or not. Best of luck returning and finding the handle. Alan
