Coffin poison, insulator, and "Essence of Pancreas"

[downeastdigger]

I had promised my 9 year old son Quincy that I'd find a good dump that we could dig together this year. Last year I really got stumped, and he really didn't do as much digging, and I was afraid he'd start losing interest.
Well I dove in a small river in Mass next week, and found a nice undug TOC dump behind some building, and got permission.

This is most of the keepers I got diving, and then we got digging together the next day

This bench full also, includes a little round cobalt ink, some meds and some local milks

Good to hear you found a dump for him and you to dig...[]

This is a neat one. Got it underwater, thought it was "great" but it is just "neat". Older amber medicine with a good lip

This is a pretty scarce insulator I think. It's bright blue pottery, unmarked. It's a transposition type, and maybe made by Victor Locke?

While digging the dump with Quincy, we had only dug multiple "curse you ketchups" as he calls them, and mayo jars etc. Then this coffin rolled out. No chips, it was great

My personal favorite of the group is this medicine. How the heck can something be called "Essence of Pancreas"??

Thats all I got for now.

Lots more in the dump though for another day

happy digging

"curse you ketchups" i love that, and will say it aloud the next time a pj ritter rolls out.
great scores!

Great story all around Bram. That insulator is, indeed, a very good one, not at all common and quite desireable in that color. The style is pretty common, a "transposition" as you correctly stated, but the color means a great deal. Congratulations on the finds but more so for being intimately involved with your Son.
