If it wasn't for the wind..

Hit the beach today...unfortunately given the easterly wind against tide which is the worst time to go out, the tides didn't go down far enough to hit my money spot. I did end up with a Foster & Fairchild Bros. "Peptogenic Powdered Milk" a generic amber oil bottle and a ramekin that was made in Holland...WHY COULDN'T THE TIDE COOPERATE!!!! lol..

When you see three old corks floating, you think its a good sign right?...


Self Induced BUST!!!... A pontiled Dr. Hostetter's stomach bitters...Damn..


Here's another (not so upset since its hard to dig fully intact china around here)


The intact stuff..


Not going to cry over Peptogenic powdered milk...

That spot looks insane! Great pics. Sorry about the bitters bottle. You have a much nicer view where you dig than my view(yuck)!

The Hostetter's doesn't look pontilled to me, and I hope like hell it wasn't for your sake. They're rare as all get out with a world of difference between the value of one compared to the smooth-based examples. Sorta like the Wishart's Pine Tree Tar Cordials.

It's a sand disk pontil...Dr. Hostetter's are very common around here..
