Great to see ya digging Buster but you're not in your usual mud, maybe wait for a rainstorm! Maybe some of that pottery will glue back? Cobaltbot, Glad to see that you remembered all that mud. It's still there but under about 6 feet of water. I'm going to see if any of the pieces fit together on the pottery.

Tftan, Hoping to find a few whole pieces under that mess.

Started cleaning and sorting the pieces. Like a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle. Here's a few of the pieces.

Found this article on a couple of the Cartwright pieces. There are handles in the pile that match the designs on these. This article puts the pottery dates from 1880-1926.
