Well I had the type of day at the Shark Pit that I like because I found a little bit of everything. (except gold) I found 4 shark & 1 Sting Ray teeth, 7 cookie coins, 7 buffalo & 4 V nickels, 1 wheat penny, a heart shaped pin with three 4 leaf clovers or flowers on it. The heart part spins around the center part so you could turn it upside down & never undo the pin back. Also an old pencil, a brass ring with a red stone (ruby?), whats left of a pocket knife and some other misc. stuff. I also found some old bottles & a glass. One bottle says Great Radium Spring Water Co. inc. Pittsfield Mass. & the other says Columbia bottling WKS. Thanks for looking!

Really nice finds love the old bottles ,found this on the web..but you probally did also ..... http://www.orau.org/ptp/collection/quackcures/pittsfieldbottle.htmalso.....From 1919 to 1922 the Great Radium Spring Water Company at 24 North Street in Pittsfield, Massachusetts sold bottle water that ostensibly provided some of the same health benefits as radium springs in nearby places like Saratoga Springs, New York. The source of the water used in this product is uncertain but may in fact have contained dissolved radon. Radon levels, however, decline rapidly once water is removed from the ground and this "deficiency" in bottled and city water, gave rise to radon charging devices popular in the 1920s......

LOL! Well I did take the winter off (except for one brave trip in april) so you did not miss much. This is only my 3rd trip this season. I will do a "best of The Shark Pit & Grand Total post part 3" in July like I did last year! I will add it all up then. So don't stay away so long!! |

I've always enjoyed your posts Rob.
What an awesome spot you have there. You never know what will show up next. Those are the kinds of spots I always look for. By that I mean, sites that can offer up things you never dreamed were there.
Good hunting!
