When dozers meet pontils....

[akronmarbles]

I went to check out a construction site after work and found a privy which had the top 4 feet graded off of it. The bottom was exposed with shards scattered everywhere - all of the glass was pontiled....damn. Well the bottom of the privy was soft compared to the surounding dirt and it looks like the tire of the earth grader sunk right down into the bottom and smashed about everything it contacted. The lone surviving 'puff' was just sticking out of the ground - a miracle that it survived. The double eagle flask would have been killer along with the cherry balsam bottle.

The ceramic items were all freshly broken as well.

man , what a shame that is . on a brighter side , it makes all the surviving bottles worth even more. but , most of us dont do this for the money. we just cant let it get to us. we have to go out and save all the bottles before they meet this fate. "please forgive them Lord, they know not what they do"
