Dug all this today:
Tooled Tincture of Iodine bottle:
Clay marble hoard. There were 34 clay marbles, three glass marbles, and several particularly round acorns and chestnuts (which I can only assume were used as marble substitutes by an ingenious child)
Digging the marble hoard:
Scored a number of firsts today down at the 1924-capped landfill.
Found my first complete 1 Pt. whiskey jug and then a second even nicer 1 Pt. whiskey jug.
Found my first 19th century clay pipe bowl fragment, stamped: "Dublin Pipe No. 1".
Scored this huge clay marble, a shooter, as well...
Hello,
While on vacation, I found this in Lake Ontario on the Canadian side where the water had eroded the bank. (In or around Niagara-on-the-Lake.) It appears to be a clay stopper of some sort. It's 2" in diameter with a 3/4" threaded hole. There's still amber glass in the threads.
Any...
