Rick,

Thanks for posting those great pumpkins; what the heck are all those barrels? Is it better than tarping?

My Dad lived during the depression in Allentown and shot rats in an old dump that he lived next to. There is a car lot on part of it now. Hope to one day dig in PA; it would be the best!

Nice picnic's Rick. Love that yellow one. Hey Karl, nice to see you on the forum again. Your new user name kinda through me. I would love to see more pictures of that blue beauty. I remember when you dug it those many years ago.[] Kelley

Kelley,

Here is a better picture of the Cobalt Pumpkin. Where in Texas are you? Do you dig there? Tomorrow I am going to dig a very old privy in Tucson; 1860's.....

Karl, I am about as far North in Texas as you can go. I am north of Amarillo up in the Panhandle. A town of 20,000 called Pampa. I used to dig in this area a lot for post Civil War era bottles as this area wasn't settled until the 1870's. We have a lot of Indian Wars History right in my back yard. I don't do much digging anymore due to back problems.[] I'm only 53, but I got the back of an 80 year old. Good luck on your 1860's privy! I love watching the finds of other members. That flask is just as pretty as I remember. They are not what I actively collect, but I have dug a few nice ones myself and I think it would look really good next to my other ones![] so if you want to part with that one, shoot me a PM or email.

This is me with a unknown "J.M. Wilkins Grocer Tucson A.T." Pumpkin I dug a few months ago......

Great bottle, I imagine it would bring great money if sold, as for me I'd be keeping it....Jim

Jim,

It is sorta of a multi colored pumpkin......

Dug the early privy today, it was dipped to use for a septic later in life. Found a pipe leading into it that was down a few feet.

Did manage to pull out a embossed umbrella ink.....
