Hey JDug,

Congratz on another great dig. It looks like four inks and a mucilage from where I'm sitting.

Please, for us glass guys, take photos, in natural light. What's the embossing that your flash has washed out? Are they pontiled?

The guys down in Bottles & Glass would love to see these...

Mo'betta photos, please.

Good job... I dug up a row of 6 privy pits in my 1870's built home in MI. in the 80's and got a lot of ink wells. I ended up with over 400 unbroken bottles, doll heads, pipes, 2 pistols and a bunch of . Are you possibly digging the top of some pits also?

That's what I'm talking about. Sounds like a trough. I've seen those things as long a 20 feet. When you get finished would you mind posting a ground pic of everything?? Awesome dig.

Thanks , I've never dug a privy but I'm sure there's some on this site , just where is the question. I'm pretty sure this all the same hut. The 1st day I hit no ash. The second day I hit ash 5' away. The 3rd day I dug next to day 2's hole and headed towards day 1's hole. The base of my hole on day 3 ended up being 5x8 at the base do to following the ash. I started running out of color in 2 directions. I'm just going to keep expanding until I find the sidewalls and 4 corners.

Thank you. I've been videoing everything and eventually will post videos. I meant to take pictures yesterday but forgot.

Hey JDug,

I think that may be: DR H.A. INGHAM’S NERVINE PAIN EXTR. Another dandy bottle!

Continued success, sir! You are delighting this old glass guy with your finds. I'm gonna want to see closeups of the lip finish, base, and outstanding details on all of these when you have the time & inclination.

Well Done!

I broke the spout of the pain EXTR while edging the sidewalls and I broke the spout of the 8 sided bottle while probing . The probe went right in the spout hole. What are the chances of that. I need to work on my bottle digging skills.

Thanks Reb

Thank you very much VERDE. The history is what keeps me digging. Sitting on the side of my pit eating lunch with my feet dangling over their fire pit and admiring all the relics I wondered if they made it through the war. Many of them fought in battles near and far from this spot or died of disease in this camp. God bless the soles of all the men fought for what they believed in.

Here's a sneak peek video!

I'll be posting full videos at a later date. This is just 2 clips combined. 1 of getting down to hard pack and the layout to my other 2 holes. The 2nd one shows some expansion of the hole just following the color.
