Yep. I'm working on permissions for a lot with several foundations right now. Been in the woods a lot lately, more prospecting and metal detecting then bottle hunting though. Ran up on a big black bear the other day about 8 miles outside P-ville. That'll get your heart movin. Got some good leads over the summer and there are privies to be had, but like Mike said, gotta wait for some rain to soften up the ground. The clay is baked rock hard.
hey y'al, yeah I was on tour working with Melvin seals and JGB for a while, but settled back down in Placerville for a permanent stay... love it out here! Im working construction again and have had to dig in placer lately... it is solid... on the up side im working on a 130 year old house some bottles were found under before I made it on the job, Im planning to go under but havent yet... and yes, where the privy would have been has a fresh stone patio over the top... shite...
