The next pit over!

[jgas]

Well we hammered out the pit next to the big beer hole. Not sure whether or not the property changed hands between the two but it kinda looked that way. Only a couple beers that were broke. Lots of small slick meds. And a handful of different Inks. One we are particularly proud to save. A really cool umbrella ink that is pontiled.

Found a couple of patent meds. A JR Miller Magnetic Balm and an old stoneware fruit jar full of seeds. Pretty cool. Wish those seeds were coins. Lol. Not a bad day all in all. It was fun to get out again. The other side of the fence holds another pit in a different yard. Time to go get after it! Be safe out there folks. Jgas.

cool finds again. that jar full seeds is a odd find

I wonder why they threw away the seeds? Years ago, I dug a small butter churn that was on its side and never filled with dirt. When I dug it out it had a egg shell inside like it had been tossed out right after breakfast.

Oof, that ink is killer! I'd trade the beer pit just for that one ink. Awesome dig again jgas, and good luck on the next one!

Those inks are great. Congratulations on the pontil!

Cool inks and love that druggist bottle.......and not your average privy seeds

Great haul, gas! I love that umbrella. Those things vary quite a bit in profile, some with sharp corners, etc., but yours has something special going on. Reminds me of this Waters ink. Keep on keeping on!

Awesome dig. The umbrella ink is kind of an unusual shape. I have never seen one like that.

Hey guys thanks for the replies. Yeah I thought so too about the ink. A really cool mold I’ve never seen. Kinda cupped on the bottom so the Pontil wouldn’t make it tipsy on the desk. Only thing better would have been embossed. Jgas.

Some great glass in this dig also .Best of luck finding a couple more spots in the nearby area

Nice start to a new season JGAS. Blob beers and some sweet inks are good for the soul.

Thanks for the cool pictures and stories one of these days I keep thinking you could find a nice bag of old gold coins who would think to look there
