Gary, one of these days we will dig together...how did you make out in Kennebunk, anyway. Did you get back there more than that one time?

Love to do some night digging! There have been several times that we've HAD to get in on weeknights because by the weekend the privies or dump fill would be gone. I've used the headlamps, but prefer a nice spot light. Gotta do what you gotta do!

I like that ink. Cool shape and name. The "K" in ink is interesting.

I've dug dozens of times at night. I like it cause its a bit cooler and thats good in this tropical heat. I use a headlamp and those large 6volt flashlights.

I wish we had more of these to do. There is nothing like being in a loaded brick liner at night. Drop lights were the flavor.

I always wondered if people dug at night. It sounds like fun! Even though I'm a scaredy cat of the dark. [:eek:]

Very nice inks...I'm not a night person. Terrified of the dark and we have a lot of dark here in North dakota seeing there aren't many if any street lights. Farmgal

Hi Joe it's good to be back. Thanks for nudge!
I don't know what that type of ink is called. I have never dug one before
Surface your ability to come up with info on dug items never fails to amaze me.
And yes it has the double pen rests
Paul I never went back. That dump had quite the age range. Let's shoot for next year.
Rick I can't imagine being in those pits without a headlamp
I did a little research today on the Murphy's Potato Balsam and saw that in 2007 Gunther was trying to win one on eBay. Does anybody know how he made out? And what the actual rarity of the bottle is
Thanks for looking and all the comments
