Morale up with today's digs

[subsoil]

Finally got a chance to hit a city dump spot I knew about for some time, all this pulled from only ~3ft of dump layer, not bad for a few hours of scraping! I'm hoping to find a deeper spot but there is so much poison ivy i'd have to go in a hazard suit.

How about that, it has to be the WACKIEST jug/pottery I ever seen, no lettering but it has a cool scroll work on the round side, almost looks like a seat, almost tossed it away but it's kinda cool.


Enjoy!

omg what the %@*^ is that! Is that the fossilized webbed foot of this animal? I heard they came from the sea long ago, along with all other life. A very rare find!

Funny thing, I was just reading an old antiques magazine from 1951 today and they had a picture of a clay bottle similar to that. It is a hot water bottle, but not for a buttocks, haha. It's for feet.

A very "h"are find indeed [8D]

I'd say it's turn of the century pottery, not what I was expecting though, I'd bet it had some kind of carrier it fit into or something. I hope the #@# it isn't someone's ash urn [:'(][][]

If it makes weird noises in the night: WTS haunted urn!
