RE: set up a fourm Dig - 6/4/2006 4:45:54 PM    probe zilla   Posts: 88 Joined: 12/14/2005 Status: offline yeah, in the winter time we oyster by dragging a "dredge", which you drag behind the boat it scrapes the bottom and collects the oysters sometimes we get lucky, we find some indian artifacts, fossils and even some 17th and 18th century artifacts from shipwrecks. I personnaly have only found 2 different fossils one of a "trilobyte" sorry about spelling, the others were little clams afew guys have caught giant shark teeth. you never really know what to expect about 10 years ago i had a friend who was catching oysters that were attatched to a ship wreck. he found some really nice bottles and stone whisky jugs. He only brought one of the jugs back. It was from balt and had a pic of clipper ship stamped on the side. he said he caught 2 or 3 different ones but he only saved the one with the ship on it I asked what he had done with the rest he said he threw them back overboard. man I just got a sick feeling in my stomach. after I told him what they were prob worth I think he got the same sick feeling knowing that the jug was worth more that the oyster he was catching you never know (in reply to PhilaBottles) Post #: 86

I just need a week or two notice to book a flight and figure out where I am going. I don't want to be lost in Mass while everyone is digging. Thanks for the opportunity.

RE: set up a fourm Dig - 6/5/2006 9:57:15 PM    lucine   Posts: 23 Joined: 5/13/2006 From: Central Mass Status: offline Marvin, Well for starters, if you hit Massachusetts, you've gone too far. If you're flying, you'll want to fly into Philadelphia International, about 35 minutes from Norristown, where the dig is. I used to live there, so if you need any info on the area, let me know.

Whenever a time and date is decided, I will take you up on getting some directions to Norristown and where to find the dig site. It's very nice of you to help me out and I certainly do appreciate it. Thanks again, Marvin (in reply to lucine) Post #: 90

If you're in Easton, it's probably about a 5-1/2 hour drive for you (including typical, but not horrible, traffic). You should go! Lara (in reply to Steve in MA) Post #: 91

RE: set up a fourm Dig - 6/12/2006 8:13:16 PM    CanadianBoy   Posts: 657 Joined: 7/25/2004 Status: offline I'd have to take a 4 day weekend, and probably not keep much unless it was pretty good.It being in July I could camp. I could make it in 12-14 hours, its pretty straight driving from the border down 81.Seeing as how I didn't make the downeast show, and a couple of days of digging & meeting folks sounds pretty good.Let me know the date you pick, although August works better for me. _____________________________ So many Dumps,so little time.

RE: set up a fourm Dig - 6/13/2006 3:40:05 PM    lucine   Posts: 23 Joined: 5/13/2006 From: Central Mass Status: offline My last response got timed out. I was saying that I've done the drive back and forth, but a pain in the ass, especially after a day of digging in the heat. Plenty of hotels in the area. Mike O is planning on carpooling in a van from around here. (in reply to Steve in MA) Post #: 99

RE: set up a fourm Dig - 6/13/2006 5:53:57 PM    Bottleman Posts: 851 Joined: 9/3/2004 From: Central Pennsylvania Status: offline Why not just pitch a tent at the dump? Maybe get some night digging in too. Just kidding but that would be fun. Does anyone know how deep the deepest section is at this dump? ~~Tom (in reply to lucine) Post #: 100
