With the weather coming and going these past couple of days, cabin fever doesn’t come close to describing the burning fever some of us diggers are going through, so here’s a little teaser to keep stirring those embers.
Late last fall my son and I … well I should be fair… he found the site and then invested better than a day in convincing me it was probably a good site… as it turns out it was incredible.. right in the heart of Dundas… it was a black glass graveyard!
If we dug one we dug literally thousands of broken black glass bottles dating from the late 1700s to the early 1800s … every base different every lip finish unique.. all hand blown and hand finished.. iron pontils, open pontils, glass seals … all shapes and sizes… absolutely phenomenal! In all, 13 whole bottles were brought to the surface along with a cobalt blue American soda! 200 years of history lay on the surface and little more than 4ft deep worth of digging. The boy was a champion while the old man was a bit of a lawn chair athlete, as the black glass bases were so thick and solid it was like digging beach rocks the size of baseballs!
