More clay, a few bottles and a worthless half - bottle pics added

halfdime · Dec 28, 2009

Kiros32 and I battled the cold and a snow shower to attack privy #6 at our ghost town today. It was easy digging and sifting, but finds so far have been sparse. We have somewhere between a third and a half of the dirt still to sift, and we've managed three clay marbles, a glass marble, a ceramic wire connector, this odd little piece and red lens, a piece of half dollar play money and about six bottles which are now soaking in a bleach solution. I'll get them cleaned and photo'd later on. That's what we found, now for what I lost; one of the lenses to my bi-focals! >:(

You would not believe how blind it makes me! I already made an appointment for an eye exam and whatnot on Wednesday, so hopefully I'll be able to see in the near future! Kiros32 is supposed to post two of the marbles and some other relics, too. Our agreement when digging together is that I get the glass marbles, he gets the clay. When I pulled Cassius #3 from our screen, he graciously let me keep it. :icon_thumleft:

Our plan is to finish the refill/sift on Wednesday, then we'll decide what to conquer next!

Re: More clay, a few bottles and a worthless half

And now the bottles... A greenish Atlas Mason jar, a Nehi soda bottle, with a design patent date of Mar 3 25, another in the "3" series of bottles, and a broken top of some sort of pouring bottle. I've paired it with another like it from another privy that has a broken handle; it's an unfortunate combination :'(

. The little Nehi 5cent refund tag I found in an old bar that my church bought to put out of business; it goes well with the bottle, don't you think? I'm also posting a "New Castle Soft Drink Co." bottle from another privy; I finally got it cleaned up a bit. It has a chip in the opening, but is a cool local find with just a hint of green. Looking to do some more privy work tomorrow!
