Went out Saturday for a dig...probed out a deep trash pit between a couple holes I had already dug. It was deeper than most of the stuff on this lot so I thought it might be real old but ended up being circa 1905. Loaded with bottles but mostly just slick whiskey flasks and pharmacy bottles that went back in the hole. All the way at the bottom (and below the water table) I felt a pretty solid bottle and reached down to grab it-ended up being a Galveston Codd soda, which is a super exciting and rare find. It looks like it may be the best example of this bottle I've ever found. Right next to it was a small crock marked on the base "The Buckeye Pottery Co." that was pretty cool. As I caved in the hole I also found a JJ Schott pharmacy bottle.
I knew there was a small pit to one side of the first pit, so I went after that next. It was quite tiny (maybe 18" square) but was loaded with glass...found 5 poisons, 2 Florida Waters, and some other odds and ends. Both holes were super wet and I was worn out by the end of the day but certainly drove home with a smile on my face!
