Tough dump finds.

[cje]

Been hitting a site that is a bit challenging. It's a steep rocky slope with plenty of ledge. I was convinced that nothing could be whole, but happily I was proven wrong. Amongst the stones and roots a few hardy survivors have been discovered. Many criers littered the site including a handful of Saratoga bottles including an amber cylinder embossed around the base that I haven't seen before. A half dozen Dyotteville iron pontiled bases have been dug up so far, along with an absolute crap load of wines, whiskeys, and ales including a single pontiled black glass base. Also about a dozen broken round bottomed ginger ales, some embossed and some not. Anyways, there were a few whole ones including a large (8 1/2 inches) med marked S. O. Daniels, Druggist, Natick Mass. Also an F. Brown's Ess of Jamaica Ginger, Philadelphia.

That S O Daniel Druggist is a great. Show it off again when you give it a bath. Hoping you can find a whole pontil in there somewhere. Good site, keep at it

Yes. Beautiful finds! I would also love to see that Daniels cleaned up.

Those rocky dumps sure are frustrating. It's tough to keep going when everything is broken but you still have some hope that maybe something survived. Good recoveries!

You have an awesome spot there. It sounds like slot of the spots that I dig. That Jamaica ginger is awesome.

Hey Bass, thanks for the encouragement. Gave all my finds a quick bath. The Daniels bottle is still pretty dirty inside but I still took more pics.

That druggist is awesome I would scrub the inside with bar keepers friend that stuff works great.

The druggist is larger than I thought! That's a great piece!
