Hello all,
This Saturday and Sunday I dig out my second privy ever. This privy was located on a family friends property and the house was built in 1857. Unfortunately this happened to be the newest privy. I'm hoping to find the older ones one day. I'm hoping they are not under where the pool now is. This was a really fun dig even though most of the bottles were common and I embossed I had some nice ones along the way. I already posted the snow globe which surprised a few serious collectors that I emailed about it. I let the homeowner keep it. I only kept maybe 5 bottles total from the dig since they were mainly common ones. The best find for me was the Elizabeth PA pharmacy bottle. It is my hometown and where I was digging at. I saw some pharmacy bottles from Elizabeth online and wanted at least one so bad. I have been watching ebay for months, emailed collectors, etc to find one with no luck. I could not believe when I wiped off the bottle what I had! Even better, when I checked it against the few posted online this version wasn't posted! It was definitely the best find for me. I also found a cool ink bottle with JcB co intertwined so I don't know what order they belong so if someone can ID it I'd appreciate the help. The worst find was a set of dentures with a tooth missing haha. I had a lot of fun, but it's so much work. I dig them up by myself and I got this one completely dug out and filled in within 8 hours in two days. I usually have someone around the hole watching for safety. I know I got almost all the bottles because I could actually find all 4 corners and the bottom. Enjoy the pics!
