So I do have a lot of time to dig, and I want to keep it that way for a while :) it is my most fav. thing to do in the world. Good luck with your upcoming digs Rick, I am going out today and am feeling lucky. Will post later tonight with an Update. Take care Ry (in reply to RICKJJ59W) Post #: 62

It couldn't have worked out any better! I'll be coming down there very soon so pull out a matress. I'll bring my own sleeping bag and pillow. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 63

Went digging again to day, drove down to baltimore to meet up with the B-more diggers (Chris, Doug, and John) and hit some more privys up. Below is the sumary for the day 4-3-07 B-more Started off the day digging a 11ft Brick circle privy loaded with TOC beers and a few misc bottles. Wasnt a good producer but we did get a nice embossed shotglass, a philly ink, and some local meds. The worst part about this privy was it was completly filled with water from about 3 or 4 foot down, we had to bail the water out the intire way down. Later in the day we moved into an older section of town and dug 2 side by side brick squares dating around 1870-1850. The first pit was loaded with all kinds of crazy stuff at the last foot however most was broken which is usally the case. The pit next to it wasnt as full and was dipped harder and produced only a few keepers. (keepin the story short because Im beat didnt get much sleep last night) Heart breakers of the day - 2 baltimore historical flasks, a very nice OP balt. druggist, a IP cobalt squat, lots of mocaware, and other pottery shards, and some other stuff I really cant remember. We did end up with quite a few OP puffs, tons of meds, some pottery pieces, a very nice blown old school glass oil lamp, a couple of plates and mugs, and some other stuff. I will post pictures shortly. Ry (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 64
