Thanks Steamfitter. Swiz, I'm not sure if they are Excelcior Bottles I'll let you know what's on the base asap. I would think they were probaby a Pitts. Glass House given our proximity to this city.

By the way Mr. Shovel I'm doing extensive landscaping not destroying,GEESH! Actuall they are quite happy to have the rodent problem done away with. This yard was a bigger mess before I started on it, if you can believe that.

I'm being selfcentered and conceited here but oh well. I have to add these links to other threads here that are directly related to this thread but under different names here's the first.

Last One. I wouldn't have done this but It was hard for me to find all these when I needed to. I hope nobody minds. Besides, that New Hampshire thread was catching up to me. They should have all been on the same thread anyhow, the way I see it.

Zane, Man, thanks for the memories. Back in '71 my partner and I located a site in one of the oldest towns around that was a resort around the turn of the century. It took us months to dig it and never finished it. The owners just got tired of us "moving dirt". My, I found some great dumps back in the 60's and 70's. In the mid 60"s I located a Vets dump site that had Pontiled cobalts with ground glass stoppers in excellent condition. One of them had an object in it that smells like clove. Yes it still has a fresh strong odor after all these years. Another time my partner located a site that was where the owners had empted their grandfathers general store and it was a mother lode. Wow, you will really treasure this site, it will be just as much fun 40 years from now as mine are today. I could go on and on about the old days. That is all we old guys have a lot of any more, memories. Thank you for sharing it and giving all "dump divers" the hopes of, or the memories of : "The Mother Load". GREAT JOB! Earl

This should have been the first post on this thread. This was the day that started it all!

Finally The first thread posted from that dig was under a different name and I just ran across it. I think it's important to keep all of these posts and different threads together.
