Looks like a lot of broken stuff that would have been cool. I admire your persistence even in the cold. Keep digging!

Thanks Jim. Sorry you can no longer work your site. For those of us in the deep South, its the complete opposite.

Hi Jim...
I followed you a little on the Antique-bottles.net forum and Then I find you here on the treasure net. Epackage is on the other forum as well. Anyway, I grew up in Patterson. lived at several different addresses along the Passaic River. Left NJ in 1970 and haven't been back but once. The last place I lived was on North First Street and at the end of the street, near the river, there was a junk yard where we would bring old car batteries and, newspapers and returnable bottles. I remember many times going down to the river to fish for carp. Just above the Hillman Street bridge. Grew up there in the early 60's and went to school at Public School Nr.12 I'd like to go back and do some bottle diving in the area. Would like to rekindle some old memories and see how the neighbor hood has changed. Keep me in mind if you need any help or if you would like to search out further into the murky depths of the river. Happy New Year...

Hey Jim! Long time no see! Don't know what kind of animal that is (maybe bear?) but i wouldn't want to piss it off.

Good to see you back, hope you get some more good ones this year!

Welcome back I'm glad to see your digging. My river bank is under two feet of snow and frozen solid. Nice finds.

 

[Harry Pristis]

The teeth are incisors from an artiodactyl . . . goat, sheep, etc.

 

[unclemac]

the clay cup is probably newer people still throw stuff in the river and i actualy cleaned that up in the river befroe taking the first pic of it and the blue one the cobalt are common there i found around 20-30 of them in this area

 

[RelicDude]

That crock kinda looks like the bowls I use for water for my snakes.

 

[Dig-N-VA]

the crock looks like something from the cracker barrel that we used to get cheese spread in

Hey Jim,

Welcome back, man! I'm really glad to see you back at the old site. Season Two should be a corker, now that you are pretty familiar with the spot. What is your favorite find(s) from last season?

i liked most of what i found but my favorites are probably the hutches and all the silverware and gold plated flatware they were in such good shape
