Another Parking-Lot Hole - 6/2/2009 12:09:00 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2238 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline    We hit another parking lot hole. This one was a little different though. After about two feet of digging we found the brick outline. It was a five foot in diameter well. Yes, it was the usual well fill, as well. We dug down Twenty Feet with no age change in material. We did find a few keepers though. A druggist from Cadiz, Ohio and Two early Steubenville Milks. We also found two Cobalt Blue inks which my brother got for my nephew.   We still have another hole to dig tomorrow. The privy is only 20 or less from the well. I bet that water was good for you!   I only have a few photos that I took with my phone right now but I'll try to post more from my camera asap. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane Post #: 1

There is just enough stuff to keep you digging but nothing worth digging 20 plus feet for. That was the last well I help on Zane is on his own next time. (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 2
