Trash pit cobalt and milk

[villagenut]

Although 1920 era pits are not my favorites, sometimes I get a few nice ones. Older pits are harder to find these days so I take what I can get and won't complain....to loudly. Anyhow one good advantage of these later pits are the possibility of digging a bottle with local interest that fit the time period. Today I happened to pull a very nice example of a local dairy milk bottle. Super excited about it as it may be a rare one from this area...at least I have never seen one. Also a few Cobalt Bromos, the third and fourth from pits on this property. The rest was just some Owens Glass pieces but I keep em still.Oh and there was one clay marble and a few Abalone buttons that proved to be way too delicate and I am still trying to figure out how to keep em in one piece. thanks for lookin, vn

Clay examples are common for most pit diggers but I will never tire of seeing them in my screen.

Do you screen your trash pits? I've thought about trying that, but the logistics would be a nightmare.

I don't screen every pit, some are filled with too much broken glass. Others like this one have many intact pieces which means a lot of siftable dirt which helps in saving marbles,buttons etc. Every hole is different, and these pits that I am into are on much older historic land, that you never know what may show up.....the dirt is older than the actual trash pit.

Once you dig a first trash pit, you will never stop lookin for the next one
