First dig of the season was great

[Oldmill]

With the long cold winter behind us now I finally had the chance to go on my first dig this season. My digging buddy and I hit this virgin homestead that I found three years ago this past Sunday and it turn out to be a great dig. In three years searching this place it was the first time where I really got into some good bottles this spot really gave me trouble but I think I figured it out. Posted below are my finds I've been after my friend to join this site so he can post his stuff he is an avid digger and could really post a lot of great stuff. I will continue to work on him to do so any way hope you all enjoy and happy digging to all.

Here is another shot of the ink which is base embossed Thad & David's NY and a Healy & Bigelow's Kickapoo Indian oil

All were found within 5 feet of where the house once stood everything was thrown out the kitchen window or back door it seems being so close to the home and were buried 1 to 2 feet under ground. The Waterville druggist was dug out from under a tree stump. I was very happy to find this one being from my home town and one I didn't have.The ink bottle was buried foot down and wedged between to large rocks amazingly it was in perfect shape. I plan on going back to this site this weekend and hope to find more. I will try to take some pictures of the dig site too.
