Dug 2 Privy's Yesterday. Some Criers.

hemihampton · Apr 2, 2017

Me & Tom got out Yesterday to dig 2 Privy's. The first privy was pretty much a dud. a common Fletchers Castoria, which I don't know what even happened to it, didn't see it in the split but could of got thrown back in the hole for all I care, I found & got enough of those. BUT, We did dig one Killer bottle in this dud hole. a Nice Tombstone slugplate Mt. Clemens Hutch. Listed but not pictured in Ron Fowlers Hutchbook.com website. So I sent Ron pic & info. LEON.

Privy #2 was the Crier hole. Why? We found about 6 Broken Cobalt Blue Norris Detroit Hutch Bottles. Bummer.

We were about to fill it in & call it done when Tom probed a upper side wall & felt something, sounded like he hit a glass bottle with probe, So we said hmmmm, Lets see what that is. Ends up a ketchup bottle, False alarm. But we probe or dig again & hit another bottle. This time we see writing on it & pull it out & see it's a blob top beer, Good sign. Ends up it's

a P.H. Kling from Detroit with the "Pure & free of Drugs or Poison" Statement. LEON.

I probe straight down from undug surface nearby, at only 6 inches I hit something & hear a ting ting, I say Tom we got another one. He digs his hole my way & sure enough another Kling & under that one another & another & another, a whole little Pit full of Buried Blob Tops. Quarts & Pints. We got excited when we dug a Mt. Clemens amber Quart Blob. We then hit about 7 or 8 more amber Quarts. But Unfortunately these were all Slicks, Just a blank Slugplate that probably had a paper label at one time that long disintergrated.

Only pic of 2nd privy hole with Tom in it. Heres some of the bottles scattered in a group. Tom hid some of the better ones under the leaves to keep the sun off them. LEON.

Great stuff! I dug two privies last weekend as well but you had much better luck than I did! Happy digging!

Nice dig!
I gotta admit I envy the soil you guys dig through, Tennessee clay is horrid on glass.
