September 2013 dig

[Privyprowlerz]

getting a little stir crazy here. down with broken ankle for over four months.

should be in a walking boot this week. finally will be able to drive and get around a bit.

anyway, here's a dig from 2013. This is in the yard next to The Big Dig that we
wrote up for AB&GC magazine.

opening it up..... hard packed clay and coal ash in these parts.

we believe the homes in this area of town housed railroad workers.
we found some unusual hutches in these holes.

here's the days finds after a rinsing. wish they would all be like this. that Summit Hill squat is
a pretty scarce one. the boys said 5 or less known.



it's always hard to determine scarcity. so many collections out there that haven't seen the light of day in years.

wow!! pretty cool! I bought a Summit hill Pa. cure from a digger who dug it in Nesquehoning, its a dr T. E. Davis Switchback cough cure, in 2014, and its mega rare!....Andy

Nice assortment of finds there, Jim!

What are the two small flasks with the vertical diamond embossing? If you still have them, can we get a close-up?
