RE: 2008 Digger Ry Privy Digs - 2/3/2008 6:09:11 PM    bottlediger Posts: 1453 Joined: 2/19/2006 From: York Pa Status: offline Doug, thanks. We ended up with a handful of "displays well" bottles but every one had some sort of damage such as a hole in the bodie or a messed up lip. We dug over 50 of these beauties and not a perfect one, thats hard on ya but im just greatful to have been in such an early context, its a completly differnt experience ill tell ya. Chris is working on the pottery now. Can you amagine cleaning 10 5 gallon buckets of pottery shards? WOW  Takes a long time, he will post pictures of them later im sure.

One of the guys was an archy for the federal govt. until the Reagan years when they cut funding for that sort of thing.All this priceless stuff that disappeared into the black hole of the federal beaurocracy.I always wondering if he was full of it with some of his stories. I guess probably they were true! Mark (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 74
