A killer and crier day of digging!

[PlaneDiggerCam]

Found an untouched pontil era city dump with my digging buddy! Didn't pull any pontils, but I've just started! We both got awesome stuff!

Here are my finds:

Back left to right:
1870s-1880s Blanks, J. Fitzgibbons Middletown, Conn., and two 1870s perfumes.
Middle left to right:
Blank meds, 1870s Paris perfume, and two Henry Woodward Druggist Middletown, Conn., Front left to right:
1870s blank meds, Kellogg Hitchcock Compound Methol Powder New York, and some early stoppers.

Flint glass ink missing the top:

Broken pontils hurt:

But even more so early ones like these puffs:

Broken CT huge pontilled med:

Broken Early Druggists:

Hopefully there will be a lot more where this came from!!!

Thanks for looking,

I definitely agree there there looks like it's going to be quite awesome they're going to be deeper though just be careful don't break them better dig really easy

Wow! Alot of potential there. Best of luck, dig some great ones!

some of those Pontils look like puffs which have really thin glass like a light bulb. be careful not to break them in your future digs. Good Luck. LEON.

Understood, half the time I've been digging with my hands, becuase I am so scared that I might put a rake through a whole one. None were intact as far as I know, but there should be a whole one somewhere!

Let us know what else you find.

Use a plastic hand Rake. Less Damage that way. LEON.
