WOW! What a great dig. Bottles of that age are gettin' harder and harder to find as time moves on. Keep up the good work 'cause it looks like you got'er dialed in.

again thank you all for your gratitude. I took a few more pics today. I did't find anything great just a few more later beers and a pontiled base. I also found part of an eagle flask in aqua. I'm trying to work my way across the yard so I don't miss anything. It sure is a lot of digging. the neighbor asked me what I was charging her to rotate her soil like that. lmao. I told him I'd do his yard free . this pic is where I started today basically.

I hit water at about 6 feet down.there is a mixture of clay and brick. It feels hollow underneath. I just want to get most of the hole down to that level before I go any deeper. I didn't find nearly as much stuff today though. I'll get 'er done!

here's a pic of todays ugly finds....1 pontiled bottle bottom, one shard from an "eagle flask" and a cracked up awesome green cut glass candle stick. These go along with 4 or 5 pepper sauce bottles and several broken beers. I'm hopin it get better down deeper.

Awesome dig. I have surface found some great stuff in your town.
Ever find any Steubenville marbles on your searches?

 

[zanes_antiques]

here's a steubenville marble I found. I also know where the factory was. From 1901-1902. My dad collects marbles and has two other steubenvilles he bought from diggers.

Any for sale? lol - I have been to the factory site several times. Found quite a few pieces and some manufacturing waste, but would like to find some more. The site is covered with concrete if I remember correctly. Ever need a digging partner?

I have been following this thread and can't believe the quality of the bottles you've managed to recover. People dream about sites like this. Congratulations and Thank you! for sharing your info and pictures. You've certainly sparked my imagination.
