Found a dump, Dug a hole

[diginit]

Not Knowing what may lay in wait. All the time thinking that I must be nuts!

Dug a test hole and found lots of junk. The sf milk of mag. was 12" deep, the gold seal cream and the ball jar at 24" any dates on the mason?

At 36". more brokens than the last 2 layers. Laying on my belly I pulled this out. Last probe to 48", more glass too deep to reach in this little hole. Gettin dark anyways.
Any ideas about this little 3 3/4" tall crock? Thanks.

That little crock might be a spitoon used to spit chewing tobacco spit in.[8|] Pettydigger

It could be what they call a custard cup.

The little crock could also be a bean pot, for cooking baked beans. I've seen larger bean pots with a similar glaze pattern.
Really enjoying the first picture, with my nose pressed to the monitor. Upper left corner - is the little blue thing a jar or an insulator? Looks like a Haig pinch bottle near it too.

the little blue bottle looks like a noxzema cold cream jar. i use to find them all the time around the woods where my grandparents lived

Thanks guys and gals,
I'm pretty sure that spitoons had a wider rim for near misses,and no top. This one's got a top somewhere. Custard sounds good. I was thinking maybe butter.
How long does it take the glaze to puzzle like this?or was it fired this way? Age?[8|]
Hi bluebell That's a noxima and a three sided, abm blob top, embossed federal law etc. Is that a Haig Pinch? Desirable? Got a pic of the pinch? if you send me an email and I can send you better pics of the site. It's quite large and 6 feet deep in some places. How's this for a real mess!

wow!!!!!!!!! that looks like a jackpot waiting to happen!! looks like 30tys on top but what lies deeper, those kick up wines r cool, the creamer is from the 30s , the mason jar is from the 1900s, and the crock is an oldie too, i dug a dump like that once, and found lots of cool embossed sodas, milks, and early masons, lots of wines too ! id get a buddy and id dig a 5 x 5 pit and see whats down there!!! if its goes 6 feet down the old stuff may be at the bottom . thanks for sharing mike
