London Dig

[NJKLAGT]

'Went down to London for some BBQ with friends and family. While everyone was sleeping in after a late night I went and sniffed out a spot not 50 metres from the back door. They have a deep ravine at the back of their new suburb, situated on some old flat farmland, and so I thought there would definitely be some dumps around. I've included the pinkish fruit jar and flat-shouldered Crowleytown-ish jar from my previous dig for some added colour (as well as the nice salt shaker which I dug a fitting lid for): 2 iodines with the skull and crossbones, a tiny 'Canadian Apple Blossom' jug which I guess is a perfume from the 60s, a half gallon crock all the way from Alberta which was in 4 pieces and my easiest repair, a tiny Vicks Drops, my first blown cobalt blue bottle which also happens to be a poison, and a Hemingray insulator. Then I got a handful of sodas that I'll probably trade. 'Forgot to include a nice green West Virginia swirl marble, and everyone's favourite, a nice big Milk of Magnesia!

I'm definitely pumped about the poison, I've been waiting too long for a blown blue. For the crock I used a lid that I found about a year ago - to get it to sit and display nicely I traced out a cardboard ring to hold it up!

There it is,
