Saturday's colonial pit dig
Got an invite from my buddy Stan to join him on a pit dig at one of his favorite sites, and one where I've been invited to before as well. Some great early bottle seals have come out of this spot, and we brought our sifters to make sure none of them escaped our eyeballs. But even though we were into plenty of early glass and pottery, and that seals had previously been found right next to the holes we were digging, it was not to be. Ended up with quite a few blown early black glass bottle spouts, a bunch of pipe stems and a couple of bowls, and some pottery and other assorted finds. After digging for several hours and reluctantly filling in our huge holes, we did a little of detecting in the adjacent field for an hour or so. Although we didn't make any killer finds, I had a great time and look forward to giving it a try again soon.
