Dug this pipe yesterday in an old long drained mill pond.
There is only one thin layer of artifacts on top of clay and under a foot of stream silt.
Every thing else from that layer appears to date narrowly in the first decade 20th century or so as determined by local beverage bottles that can br dated.
I know there's bazillion reproductions out there but there was zero modern trash mixed in this layer. Also decent patina.
Anyone know pipes?
Close up.
