Awesome story! I'd bet there are more sites to dig on that propery. Keep looking! Great work and article.

How lucky you are to have been able to finally get in there and dig, and knowing who used the stuff you found is the icing on the cake!!!


CONGRATS!!

I have about 80% of this....but I love it. Notice the American Flag....just too cool.

Hey John,

Thanks for taking us along on this Semi-homecoming Dig. Wonderful Star and companion conies. That claw pipe too! More Star, please, with a side of Cones, and a dash of Redware.

Looking forward to the reconstructions. That chamber pot looks 99.8%.

I was thinking the same thing reading your post John. Like I always say "Chit is meant to happen"[]


It is weird enough when you get into a yard of some stranger and think "man I am the first one to touch this stuff after all these years".
I always get that feeling "its a meant to happen thing" But when I saw that your Grandfather and you lived in the house ! That multiples that feeling by a 1000!! very cool John very cool.

Ps DO NOT SELL THE STAR INK! you may get struck by lightning [8D]

Absolutely, going back in a day or two to probe for other pits.

Very nice story and dig John. Was just thinking about you the other day and wondering what you were up to, now I know. Hope you find more at the site. Please keep us posted. Thanks.

Regards,

Yaaay for you John! Glad you checked that spot! I really like that liberty pole/flag pitcher. What's that other creamer which appears to be intact, decorated????

 

[PrivyCheese]

Phil, No it wasnt decorated at all.....kind of wierd. Chris said it was a piece of Mocha.....just not decorated. Figures that the one that comes out completely whole isnt decorated. Here is a better pic.
