We went out and dug a little more at the bottlepit this evening.. no huge holes but did find a few nice ones.. including 3 good inks.. the squatty square is really good! I also found a few more buttons including a nice RailRoad cuff button.. after a rinse in lemon juice it popped out with 100% of the gilt!!! It turns out to be a Baltimore and Ohio RR button.. not too bad!!

MonkeyBoy Jr found the bone toothbrush and handle.. a very good find!! The cuff Railroad is the matching one to to the button the Pitdiggers found at the same spot a few months back http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,247084.0.html

Enjoy!

Very cool hunt! I have been digging in a dump lately to. I love it! so many cool finds! Huge congrats! :headbang:
 
Those ink bottles are Top Notch finds! The button is a beautiful display piece, and the bone toothbrush is a killer find as well.


Well done, my friend.

Nice Mark, Nice

Thanks!! It is one thing finding a button with a metal detector.. but just digging holes and seeing them spill out 2 feet in the ground!! It was pretty exciting.. I have to admit and that was before one of them turned out to be a Virginia!! ;-) Nothing like being a family of badgers digging deep!!
