This looks interesting. Wonder if it's all there?

Sure enough! My first stoneware ink. All together I dug six inks. Two igloos, two square, one cone, and the stone. The most I've dug in one day ever.

LOL. It's actually a cellar or basement. A construction crew I know is doing this job. They still have to take out the rest of the fill in the floor and have a cistern to remove as well. They don't mind me digging as long as I don't mess with the walls and don't leave any big open holes. These guys actually set bottles off to the side for me when they find them. I found two embossed crown tops laying up by the sidewalk when I got there. Chris

I learned early on that if it looks like it could be whole, take a picture!

F & H Lex. Ky. A nice hometown squat soda! I wish this would have been the cobalt version! It's still a keeper.

Here was everything from Sat. I dug for about eight hours and got most of what's on the table. A friend came by and helped for a few hours in the afternoon a dug a couple of nice bottles, some marbles, a doll head, and some buttons. He dug the nice little coffin flask and Louisville squat soda. I dug five inks, the jug, a Dr. Jaynes, the Lex. squat, a bunch of benningtons and the swirl, two nice doll heads, and a bunch of neat broken stuff.
