Hey Wayne ..yea I will be gettin in that water!!.. You really come up with some super ideas ..Thanks !!! .Actually I held back....knew you might be coming up with the wet suit and all...and I didnt want to get into diving territory..mess up good prospects..thought it might be best investigated by SOUTHERN MAINE DIVER....and Rokmanjim..hey skip the weights on that dive....we can lay you down flat and your nose will be stuck in the mud..but hopefully you will be able to see some pristine old flasks and hey could you look for a Biningers for me..and a ink for Jim..wendy

Hi Rhona, It's a old 5 tine 6" finger rake, it had a broken handle so I went out in the woods got me the best 2" ash sapling I could find, whittled it down, drilled a hole in the end and inserted the old one. I have run that sucker for 5 years now, it is light and quite strong... I even use it as a bar and it will tweak a 500lb rock around in a stone pile! Like the old saying "walk softly and carry a big stick" Taz

Hey Taz...

You forgot to tell her that you can only dig "Long Handled Clams" with that rake!!!
That is the only legal way to harvest that species of clams...

Hey Wendy...

I have to tell you two, that we really enjoyed your visit and your company! You guys were a lot of fun. We really had a great time...including our visitors from the south!!!
I am surely making the trip north to check out those sites that Jim has come up with.

Wayne

Here we go again! I gave the old swamp 3 days to thaw some more and went back in this morning, believe it or not there is still quite a bit of ice another week should do it... I did manage to find these little jewels in the muck, A yellow amber Dyottville Patent whiskey (3 piece mold), A icy blue Shiloh's consumption and A Ingall's Bro's Portland, Me. Belfast gingerale.I also recovered a cosmoline jar, sloans liniment, and scarce small canning jar lids. I hope you all are out digging and having a ball I know I am!! Taz

Taz...

That's IT!!! I can't take it anymore!! Why oh Why do you do this to me??
Why do you torture me this way????

You're teezing me with these bottles... I'm gonna bring my tent and camp out on your doorstep!!

Is the water deep enough there to dive in?

Those bottles look great... did you touch them up a little in your tumbler or just wash them in soap & water?? I have to get into some crystal clear, fresh water and out of this mud I've been in.

Wayne

Nope not deep enough wayne! 1' of water 1' of mud mix them together and it smell's like poop soup!!! Almost all of the bottles have all had the corks in them, strange usually you would throw the cork away, not this place they put them back in.... anway when you take the cork out they are half filled with crystal clear water but STINKKKK! It's like bottled hydrogen sulfide.... Taz

Hey Taz...

That's exactly what Pam tells me after a day of diving in the mud... she says I "STINNNK" and I smell like a bottle of hydrogen sulfide, rotten, boiled eggs, and worse things... She won't even hug me or give me a kiss...

My youngest boy, Nathan, tells me I "smell like Butt!"

Nobody will come near me, so I have to get undressed out on the back deck or in the garage and quick jump into the shower... so now the neighbors are starting to complain as well!!!

Hey, Great finds Taz. Keep at it. The whiskey looks citron on my screen.

Hey Wayne, I don't think you stink. Your kinda krusty but you don't stink.
