Placerville ~ After the discovery of gold in nearby Coloma, CA by James W. Marshall in 1848 sparked the California Gold Rush, the small town known as Dry Diggin's came to be. In 1849 the town earned its historical name "Hangtown" because of the numerous hangings that had occurred there. By 1850...- Potlidboy

The Marysville Chamber Pot
Downtown Marysville several years ago: Huntindog, Bob & I had secured permission to dig on main street. The owner of the business had a severely sunken concrete slab in the rear corner of his brick building.

Victorian lamp
October 2013 The mornings are starting to chill & that first cup or two of coffee is a grand way of kicking myself out the door. A short drive later and I'm in a sort of Nirvana...that special place in the Northern California Delta and that special place inside of me that thrills at the sight...- Potlidboy

Archaeologist or looter?
AntiqueMeds.......We the people.....yep that about sums it up......The Hawleys did not ask for money...just knowledge. So sad they had to go to Canada for advise....This was not a money issue....This was a “boys club†mentality. I'm sorry, but I have seen just too much poor government in this...- Potlidboy

nailed another civil war token and a B & M RR button
Ironmountain Riverdiver's advice is good...Skip the waders. Chest high waders can fill with water if you slip or step in a hole....They will hold you under water & drown you in a second.

Native American Mortar
Not that I want to get a Native American thread going ~ but I thought you-all might want to see a personalized mortar I found several years ago. I've placed it alongside a knife blade ...just to show size. The underside of this small bowl is curved to fit one's thigh. It's a sweetie.- Potlidboy

Native American Mortar
May 15th 2013 Huntindog & I drove to Maine Prairie yesterday on a spur of the moment decision. The tide would be a minus 05 conveniently at 3:00pm in the afternoon. It had been many years since I had splashed the murky waters & waded along the slough bank looking for bottles. Huntindog was...- Potlidboy
