Just like crusty's this one has been filled in. I can only hope it has not been cleaned out first. Early in the uncovering, I discovered it is 4 feet in diameter laid up brick. The fill is shale glacial till with sandy stuff mixed in. Also in the mix is pottery pieces,bones,nails, broken pipe stem, and lots of broken window glass. All the window glass is no surprise with raising 20 children there. The material is easy digging and with being bone dry and dusty, it goes well through the trommel.
Before starting the dig, I explored the chicken coop further. Came up with what I think will be keepers and three disaster bottles. First was a Saratoga High Rock Spring with the top knocked off, then a Congress Spring with the top broken off, and finally Missisoquoi Spring. Same thing with the top and a hole in the side at the bottom. May not survive washing.
Yup, no pics. I started a thread yesterday and upload one pic and something happened. I can not access any JPEG files. No surprise here with Windows 10. I'm still snapping them though.
