hit big at the test hole on the river

[southern maine diver]

Hi Jim... nice to see you back at it and back on the forum. hope you came through the winter in good shape. I'm up to my knees in hard frozen snow and I have been recovering from a couple of cracked ribs and broken collar bone. Needless to say I have had a miserable winter. Anyway... we all look forward to seeing your updated posts. Still thinking about doing some traveling south, so maybe we can get together.
Happy hunting and stay safe,
Wayne

simon says

hit the river today found a rare simon slaff hutch, a few buttons,a couple of marbles,porcleine doll arm,and not sure of the last thing has HF on one side and ERIE RR on the other all i know is it is something from the rail road thanks for looking (the river still up to far spent more time bailing water out of the hole than digging) thanks for looking

Nice Slaff Jim, I got myself one last year but not as clean as yours. I might be interested in one of your Pfannebeckers after dropping and cracking mine...

WELL Jim, nice to see you back at it again. Water level must be down a bit, water temp must be tolerable and the carp and catfish are staying out of your way! Good for you...CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT ELSE YOU Pull Up! Well, Stay safe, wear lots of sun block cause those rays bounce off the water and burn twice as bad. Talk to you soon,
Wayne

had a visit by a motorcycle cop he was a colorfull fellow

starting to hit good stuff . i cant believe that the little candy dish came out in such good shape and i think it might be vasolene glass the cup i found was right on top of it surprised me that neither were broke the toy has auburn police on it but no makers mark(it was about 10" down in the ground) the clay pipe was also a surprise thanks for looking

You're killing it Jim! I love the candy dish, the color is great. Can't believe in came out in that kind of condition. The hutch is great too. Keep on digging and posting. Best of luck to you

had a pretty good day

found another slaff,a tiffany

NJ0523 in the hutchbook,an old black glass/dark green that has a nice floral horseshoe shaped wreath etched on it (first time i have seen that)an old copper coated ceramic fuse from 1897,a few old cups,a seltzer bottle that was for B.Cherry flavor from wascowitz&freidland out of wilkesbarre,pa and the M.Keil 233 river st paterson nj jug to bad it was broke but it was only in 2 pcs.so it should be an easy restore thanks for looking​

Nice stuff Jim, that etched one is an import beer, the etching is a Hops plant for the hops used in beer making. The jug is a good one like I said, if you decide you want to sell it I'd be interested. What's on the back side of the Tiffany & Allen hutch?

 

[bottlehunterofcoscob]

You're really killing it, great digs!

 

[geo4472]

here are close ups of etching on seltzer

 

[bottlehunterofcoscob]

Anyone know how to date seltzer bottles like that or what date range they were made and used?

Love the Vaseline (uranium) candy dish. You can verify with a black light. It'll glow brightly!

It's my understanding the footed seltzers are pre 1920, after that they didn't change much over the next 30 years.

Still killing it!! I'm going to have to start calling you the hutch king i suppose. Love the etched pieces, have never found one. You must be at one helluva dumpsite. The dump that keeps on giving.
