[mrcure]

Anyone near Jamestown, TN able to help with a well I'm currently digging? 7-9 feet deep with no end in sight yet. Digging today and next weekend if possible.

Hey @Mailman1960 , I'm going to be making a follow up to my dig from yesterday here:

Digging My First Well (?)

Long time, no post. Trying to keep the forum alive and would rather not post on Bragbook. As always, feedback or recommendations are welcome because I'm a noob. After searching for over a year across different states, I believe I finally found my first undug well. I happened upon this spot by...

www.antique-bottles.net

Essentially, I'm 15 feet down and hit water but have at least 5+ left to bottom. I did find a cork 3iii bottle at the water table, but nothing else.

Any idea the age of the well? If there is a loose brick you can see if there is a manufacturer's initials on it. You can then look up the age of the manufacturer's operations to date the well.

@UnderMiner unfortunately no names or inscriptions at all on the bricks. Sadly I dug a screw top junk beer at about 8 feet but then I found a z3iii cork med at about 10 feet or so before hitting water. So the age seems to fluctuate greatly If only I can get past this water.

I'd call this Bad Advice in my opinion. Why? last Well I dug the guys I was digging with kept saying the same thing as newtothiss. I told them I wasn't quitting until I hit Bottom, they kept saying I was wasting my time. Long Complicated story. BUT, In a nutshell, luckily I kept digging, Why you ask? Because at the bottom was 2 Cobalt Blue Hutch's. Norris & Guyette. BUT, The thing is, the guy that kept saying lets move on, his most wanted to dig Bottle was a Cobalt Blue Guyette Hutch. He/We Dug one. He would of never got his most wanted Bottle if I didn't persist & insist on keep going. Moral of Story. Never Stop until you hit Bottom. Plus all the best Bottles are at the Bottom.

The Wishing Well.

Got out Yesterday, Sunday to dig a Well. I'm calling it the Wishing Well because I was Wishing we'd dig lots of Killer old Bottles. BUT, It did not happen. We did dig some bottles though. A fellow digging buddy of mine found this well about 5 feet away from a 1850's or 60's Trash pit I found...
