Well went on a road trip and hunted with a buddy today.He took me around to some spot's that had been turning up some good find's.Well I got a few,but not alotimage
The first thing I found was this nice clay pipe that eyeballed right off the bat when I jumped into this small pit.

    Nice pipe Tom! I've never found that type before. We find a few stemless clay pipes (a hollow bamboo reed is affixed to them) here but I rarely see any like yours.

    Grip it is a clay pipe,you will find alot of these in dump/outhouse site's.They would have a long stem on them,when it got clogged,they would break it off bellow the clogged area and use it some more till it couldn't go any further.

    Hey GR thank's.This one has Murray as the maker.I believe it may have come from England as this is where most were made.This is the first that I found with that much stem on it.I believe thse were made around the 1860's up till probally the late 1800's.
    Some have some really neat carving's on them or even made with a face on them.HH,Tom

    We call them tavern pipes. I don't know why but that is what most folks call them here.

    Here's a few on Flee-bay Tavern pipes
