Lol and their kids were climbing around the tailings of the dig! I handed broken pieces of pottery to celebrities! [8D]

Steven Colbert lives in Montclair, and goes to the church I go to... Of course, I ain't goin' to church anymore! Bottles to dig! []

Greats digs Connor! I too dug my first umbrella ink this year, only bubbly and crude aqua though. Those are some nice inks you dug. The base of that amber looks like a key mold to me. Thanks for sharing.

PD

Pretty seriously nice inks Connor....From what I can see it looks like there's still some real cool stuff yet to clean. Great dig. Congrats to you and Tom!

Super!

I agree with Tigue, I think that amber is pontiled.

I agree with Tigue, I think that amber is pontiled.

I looked at it real hard, and though I may be biased, I think it's pontiled too... There is a pontil-sized depression in the base, and in one spot, it is distinctly rough, like the other pontil... Think these are 1850's? Definitely older than the house, which is 1865.

I decided to clean a couple marbles, which I will post in the marble forum... I had them in my pocket, thought I lost 'em for a second! []

Great dig, guys. That's one that you will remember. There was some cool stuff in that pit. ~Jim

Great dig story[]--------your very fortunate to have a seasoned digger showing you the ropes[]-----i should be so lucky to find a dig like that!. Looks like you earned your share. Keep up the good work.

O. M. G! This is what you get for not selling well at the Oakland show. Total bottle Karma. What a loaded pit well worth taking the time to get permission. You must be walking on clouds. Those inks rule as do a lot of the other stuff. A sincere congrats. I wouldnt be able to ever sell those inks if i dug them. They are little gems and cleaned up great!!

 

[KBbottles]

P.S. You should really consider getting those glass marbles polished up. They are good ones.

I say the amber umbrella is pontiled too. Great dig, and the depth of color on the cobalts is outstanding!
