That's about all it was too, very few finds.Temp was in the 90s . Moved about 5 ton of dirt for what your about to see. Oh well I need to lose about 40 pounds  so was a good day. _____________________________ Gary Post #: 1

The pipes are great, I always enjoy finding them. Once in a great while, we will find a Benson's milk that made its way down here. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to justadddirt) Post #: 11

I find a lot of broken plates and tea cups but never a whole one or even the pieces for me to put it back together. So good for you and maybe you can find more of them and hang them on your wall...I would. _____________________________ Krystal (in reply to justadddirt) Post #: 14

RE: 6-6-08 dig - 6/8/2008 10:50:29 AM    beendiggin Posts: 789 Joined: 6/30/2005 Status: online I can relate.  A day of digging like that is called paying your dues. That just means you are in for a good dig soon. That plate is cool,  I've only managed to get a couple of whole plates  in over 25 years. It was pretty rare in those days to throw out anything that could still be used. Good finds, they'll be more! (in reply to justadddirt) Post #: 15

Very frustrating moving all that dirt & ash for very few finds. Paid my dues on that dig.Thanks again. _____________________________ Gary (in reply to beendiggin) Post #: 16

Call me a pussy, but I can't dig in the hot humid weather!  Hope you hit a good pocket soon! _____________________________ Bram Get busy diggin, or get busy dyin' http://www.GreatBayCatering.com (in reply to justadddirt) Post #: 17
