Ben and Tigues Summer Digging w/videos - 8/9/2007 7:31:41 PM    madpaddla Posts: 4036 Joined: 12/29/2005 From: The great state of New England Status: offline Hello all: Here are the finds for the summer so far.  Its not often you find a like minded digger in your area that digs like you do, calls ya if they are at your place, well simply put..you can count on as a friend.  Tigue is just that person.  Enough of the man love and on to the bottles.  One last thing is here is an example of our last dig, I hope others dig and think the same way.  We were digging together in one trench.  It was said before that all we find is community bottles but we keep the best one we find.  I found an emerald peppersauce and knew that if I found a full case gin it was his.  It was unsuccessful but before we left the hole he gave me two clay lids and a crock.  That is the way digging should be.  I found a Kickapoo Indian bottle and a local med he didnt find, so he went home with that.  Digging is not about "pirate plunder" but making friends and enjoying a common hobby.  On to the pics. Here is the crock he gave me and the pepper and ink were dug this week. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I STRESS THIS ! ! Digging under a tree can be very bountiful but dangerous.  All the oldies know this but for the younger/unexperienced diggers.  When you see "little dribblers" or you see small bits coming down in a wide area.  BEWARE.  When this video was shot we were more than 30+ feet away and had been there for a couple minutes just watching.  Amazing.  Notice my comment of "We have to bury this thing".  I have since bought an ax, chopped it, and cleaned up the site.  For the inexperienced diggers, clean your sites.  Enjoy guys. Tree Here is a digging shot.  Bottles havent seen air since 1890. Attachment (1) (in reply to madpaddla) Post #: 13
