Met up with Phil today to try and dig a pit we had found a couple weeks ago but got tied up with other more urgent pits to dig. We the pit was an oval brickliner shared with the house next door. it was about 7 feet deep and had a couple feet of 1840s layer in the bottom. the first bottle out was a blue Baltimore star umbrella ink. then a broken Gardner and Brown torpedo, then a broken blue Cole tenpin. A broken Wm. Russell pontiled soda then finally an intact Coughlan Balto torpedo then another broken Boyd torpedo in an olive color. Then in the bottom were several early damaged snuffs. I will try to post some better pictures after we have everything cleaned up. Its been one great week for digging so far.

Chris

the first bottle out was a blue Baltimore star

Hey Chris & Phil,

The surfacing of these latest Baltimore Stars portends great things for the coming season of the dig.

Thanks for showing us, and staying tuned for cleaned and reconstructed photos. Is there a new Star wing of the Baltimore club? Continued great digging wishes...
