I've got a few that I just Had to keep the shards. One was an iron pontiled double eagle quart in a deep teal blue/green. Another was an iron pontiled honey amber C.W. Robacks Stomach Bitters (Barell). One recent heartbreaker was an Early freeblown malet in aqua from an 1820's/30 privy! Lots of redware, yellowware, and feather edge pottery was in there with it.

My Lord,It's almost like the trail of tears! Here's one that's handy, a little gasoline puce $5000.00 goodie ,J. Boardman & co./Mineral waters,two were broken in that pit. I guess that makes $10,000.00. Oh well! Kev

Boys and their broken hearts... I understand, but that just makes it that much sweeter when you find a whole one.

No Chris, there wasn't enough of anything to try and salvage. Just shards, fragments, and the bricks... let's not forget the bricks! The homeowners are interested in stuff from the yard so we let them box up all the shards and keep them. There were alot of redware shards, some glazed a dark green color. There were yelloware and mochaware shards. Cobalt decorated kitchenware. Colorfull feather edge kitchenware. And very few shards of glass. Some of the glass was black and the rest was aqua. I think the malet was whole when it was tossed and got busted by a brick, but the rest were just shards. I guess it got dipped to death? We've got another pit to dig. It's a brickliner and we're keeping our fingers crossed for it being 1840's/50's! It feels nice and glassy in the bottom. Chris
