Company i work for was doing job not far from there ,locked up equipment to job trailer someone  busted locks and took the whole trailer

Status: offline 		I have never personally set foot in Youngstown, but have dug extensively in very dark, gang infested areas of Oakland and San Francisco, Ca, as well as Brooklyn, Albany, Philly, and other places equally as "rough" without any serious difficulty. It's all about how you present yourself, so being timid invites trouble from the denizens. Maintaining a cool attitude is the best way to get to know the residents of an area that you anticipate digging in.

Who wants to dig some little town with me? Probably shallow pits in these small PA towns. These deep Philly pits are boring me at the moment since we are on a slow streak.

PM me if someone wants to dig a pit. DIIIGGG. DIIIIGGGG. DDIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGG!!

I wish we had more people here in N.Cal asking for help digging.  Not talking about anyone here on the forum, I only personally know 4 people here and none of them are privy diggers.  The few privy diggers I do know though are very secrative about their digging spots and the fewer helpers, the better for them.  "less people to share the loot with".  I've been on only 4 privy digs, the first two times I was a "rookie" (according to them) so I didn't get an equal share in the finds, the last two were fair but they were also on lots that "I" found and asked them to dig with me.  For me, it's more about friends, and having a good time, and hopefully adding a few goodies to my collection.  For the diggers I know, it's business.

Status: offline 		Maybe for some people it's business, but for me it's just fun. If someone wants to dig for "business", more power to 'em, but they'll be broke in no time. Also, most diggers remain close mouthed and don't spread the word because there are few trustworthy people in this hobby. I have learned that lesson the hard way. Opening my trap to some guys cost me BIG TIME! If I, or my long time diggin' partners, cultivate the trust of folks and obtain permission to dig their yards, do you think that we should "share the wealth", as it were. I don't think so, Tim.

Status: offline 		Most of the bad stuff in the bad part of town happens under the cover of darkness, in my experience. Dont act like a "mark" (as they used to say), and you should be alright particularly if you have one or two guys with you.

Btw, I always heard that the cities in Ohio had been dug pretty hard, but you cant dig everything -- anywhere.

Nope, I wouldn't expect you to do that Mike. You have your diggin partners to help you out and I'm sure you all have a good time, I wouldn't expect anyone to expose their digging locations. I wasn't saying that at all. I was just commenting that I wish there were more diggers out there in N. California that were looking for help here on the forum like I see from time to time from other states. One guy I know will dig alone, all by his lonesome, because he doesn't want to share, his business and I wish him all the luck. I'm just sayin...........

Status: offline 		Youngstown has been dug, but not nearly as hard as some Ohio towns.  As for the heathens who wander the streets, ignoring them works for the most part.  Some of them can be talked to, and could lead to a permission, just don't get caught up in it, they're some scheming mfrs.
