I went back to the big town (football field-sized) dump I had posted about not too long ago today. I have to say it got really green. The lovely invasive Japanese Knotweed has invaded, and every inch of bare soil is now covered in these seven-foot tall (and growing) plants.
It look me an hour just to hack through them to get to my spot, but I don't give up easily.

Got enough stuff to make it worthwhile.

First decent finds. A Modox quart blob (broken), and a R. DeAngelis Providence, RI medicine. I find a DeAngelis every time I dig here without fail!

Chamber pot (or something similar) in-situ. It was hole, but barely. A big crack had some small roots growing through it.

The day's take. Yes, two of the blobs are broken, I took them home for documentation.

I can't tell you how many ABM versions of this bottle I have dug (upwards of 30). This is the first BIM example with the WBW monogram that I have seen!

Cracked, but too nice to leave!

You guys are tired of hearing this from me but I REALLY enjoy hearing about your digs. I live my digging vicariously through you all. Thanks Taylor for the latest episode.

I like several of these, not the least of which is the HERBA. [:)] I never knew there was a pontiled version of a HIRES. [8D][;)][8|] Keep on keepn' on !
