The honey hole gives up a stoneware ink

RelicRaker · May 9, 2017

Returned to my favorite spot—an abandoned foundation dig at an 1870s homesite. It's yielded a wide range of items from transferware fragments and marbles to intact blob tops, embossed medicines, clay pipe bowls, buttons, figurines, and other artifacts. Was looking for small items and found this little stoneware ink. Common, I know, but my first clay ink.

Very cool! Always loved those.

If you dug it it's worth a lot. If you didn't dig it it's not worth a lot of money. Neat!

not to common . I have only dug two or three in the 40 + years of digging . and I have dug from California to Main.

I think they're British, which is why there wouldn't be very many in the US. Very common in the UK though and not too uncommon in Canada.

Thanks, all! Wish I knew more about who occupied the home site between 1870 and 1900. But I guess that's what the artifacts are for: clues.
