Please get someone else over there to help you make some video's. It doesn't even have to be another digger. Just a few rescue shots and a cleaned up overview. That would be the absolute best. If someone could compile a 1 hour dvd of rare bottles being dug I would buy it. Swizzle

WOW! What a great dig. Bottles of that age are gettin' harder and harder to find as time moves on. Keep up the good work 'cause it looks like you got'er dialed in.

again thank you all for your gratitude. I took a few more pics today. I did't find anything great just a few more later beers and a pontiled base. I also found part of an eagle flask in aqua. I'm trying to work my way across the yard so I don't miss anything. It sure is a lot of digging. the neighbor asked me what I was charging her to rotate her soil like that. lmao. I told him I'd do his yard free . this pic is where I started today basically.

I hit water at about 6 feet down.there is a mixture of clay and brick. It feels hollow underneath. I just want to get most of the hole down to that level before I go any deeper. I didn't find nearly as much stuff today though. I'll get 'er done!

here's a steubenville marble I found. I also know where the factory was. From 1901-1902. My dad collects marbles and has two other steubenvilles he bought from diggers.

Any for sale? lol  - I have been to the factory site several times. Found quite a few pieces and some manufacturing waste, but would like to find some more. The site is covered with concrete if I remember correctly. Ever need a digging partner?
