Went digging this past Sunday...the lot I am digging recently has a thin 6" layer of trash covering much of the back of the lot about 3' down, so I have been simply digging it in a grid. Some days are good and some not so good. Sunday was a good day...dug a pile of small stuff including multiple marbles, an insulator, a chandelier prism, a couple of pipe bowls, a pile of buttons, etc. I love finding these little bits of everyday life...
In addition I found one pontiled slick bottle, a fancy little perfume bottle, and the find of the day, a perfect little mini-jug marked "Sample/Crescent Club/Nelson Co Ky/Whiskey". I've never dug a mini-just that wasn't damaged so I was very excited. Doesn't appear to be a common one either.
And the BIG...a big unembossed graphite pontil ladies leg bitters-style bottle in perfect condition. I've never dug one of these before either...really was very happy with the day overall. Also dug several stoneware beers, a bunch of slick whiskies and medicines, and some black glass. Starting to get hot here but days like this keep me going out...gonna have to break out the umbrella soon!
