Posted these on the bottle forum as well. It was a great dig and we found some great stuff. The pot would have been the best but it does have a hole in the side about 2" x 4". >:( The inks ended up be the best after the pot. The blue ceramic one has some great character. Not sure where it was made. The rest of the pit ended up being around 1890-1900, with crown top beers that had local names embossed. The druggist bottle are really neat as well. It was a good day to dig but please send the rain so I can probe somemore pits. Have fun out there and be safe everyone. jgas

Awesome digs as usual jgas,

You're right, we do need that rain here. The soil is as soft a talcum powder and hard as a gravel drive.

Those are great pieces. I have a small collection of local druggist bottles on a shelf. They are hard to come by in good shape. Keep it comin.

Thanks for the replies everyone. It is a fun time doing these pits. I have to post all the marbles we have found over the last couple of digs. Look for that on the marble forum soon. :thumbsup: jgas
