5 hour dig

[Goldenplug]

Got out and dug a new pit today. Got lucky and hit a decent stoneware crock and a few bottles. brown Bennington, vt crock. Good condition. a pristine favorite remedy. I know these are common but this one won points for condition. my first laxol that wasn't broken..another super common but clean bottle...a campaign pin for governorperfume bottleobligitoryblank pot and lidfancy stoppers! And now look at this shard! anybody want to guess what this was? . Was a good dig.

good dig ,I really like the Laxol . only found a few of them over the years.

AWESOME DIG. Man, that crock is beautiful! That Laxol is an interesting colour, I've only seen them on the internet in cobalt blue. Nice meds, nice stoppers, everything has great clarity.

Maybe the shard is from a cologne of some sort? I'm just guessing.

I would die if I found a crock like that. Nice digs

 

[Goldenplug]

Thank you guys. Coscob it made my day. I almost left right then and there! My brother found a much better one last year but I'm not complaining. I usually don't find whole ones so I will take it and love it.

Well, nice score. A good successful dig and the bottles you found are all in fantastic condition. Oh, the crock is a good find as well, I like the dark color. The campaign pin and the stoppers are bonus points!

 

[Goldenplug]

Thank you Bass. I would love your opinion on the blue base if you have one.

Nice gets, crock is great and the Laxol is an oddball color, the real prize is the green Laxol, but this one is a keeper...

That answers that. I knew that a certain color was best. Cobalt blue is the common which I knew. Gonna keep my eyes out for s green one now.

 

[scruggs]

You really found some nice clean ones on this dig...Congratulations! Well done!

 

[Goldenplug]

Thanks Scruggs. I guess I forgot a couple from today. No big deals but I'll add them anyhow...

 

[Goldenplug]

maltine. and this atwoods. They must have been a penny a dozen around here I have so many of them!

 

[Goldenplug]

One more bottle to share. Sorry I should have condensed everything but I was scatter brained today. This bottle wasn't that interesting until I found it in the bottle book. Unfortunately I don't have the original lid and it needs a tumble.

 

[Goldenplug]

oh and it has lilacs for my girlfriend in it.

 

[Bass]

The blue shard is a mystery, but then when I saw the fancy glass stoppers my thoughts are a very nice cobalt blue decanter. Although that base may be a bit small for a decanter. That's just a guess.

 

[Goldenplug]

That's a good guess. It's actually fairly large and bulges going upwards from the base. I will take another picture tomorrow to give better scale.

 

[Goldenplug]

Not so sure this helps. I think being that there's so little of it left its just going to likely remain a mysterious shard. Thanks anyways!

The shard looks familiar. Kinda like a Nutmeg lamp but I think its too tall. Just a thought. jgas

I was leaning towards lantern too. My brother excavated a nice red privy lantern last year that had a Pontil mark.
