We did cover the hole with plywood to increase the safety. Diggers who are lazy, due to greed, need to be addressed. (in reply to Oldtimer) Post #: 25

Most of the people on here dont even know where Wilmington Delaware is. There was more to the story and you shouldnt allow our hobby to be frowned upon. I dont contribute much to this forum, and it is because of people like you. Good Day. (in reply to RFord) Post #: 32

RE: Warning to Wilmington De. diggers - 2/24/2008 11:46:25 AM    Leisalu   Posts: 35 Joined: 7/6/2004 From: Northern California Status: offline If there's one thing that ruins the digging hobby for those who do it right, it's the "dig & dash" bone heads that do this. I can't tell you how many times I've been denied a permission only because some idiot dug a hole and didn't properly fill it. If your not filling then no doubt your likey trespassing too. Not only is that illegal but it also creates a hazzard in which if someone gets hurt then guess who's labial for damages? I've spent hours filling other peoples holes in my digging areas and re-filling some too after they've been half ass filled and sank. It's pure greed, disrespect and bone head mentality that drive these individuals. There's some Northern California diggers who will dig in this style. They should know that if their  caught not properly filling or trespassing in a certain persons digging areas, they will be reported to the  property owner and police.  < Message edited by Leisalu -- 2/25/2008 10:57:01 AM > _____________________________ 40 years of California digging ! www.oldwestbottles.com (in reply to tigue710) Post #: 36
