Chris,

Sorry to take so long to respond, but I have had an extremely busy week. I can't seem to spot the blue decorated piece in the photos. I do see part of a solid blue colored pottery pitcher. We did get one piece that the owner got, but I can't find a photo. I have attached a pic showing most of the pottery prior to our first big split.

Second table third, fourth and fifth rows are oriental tiger whiskey, ginger, shoyu and bean jars.

What a load of bottles and jugs!

beautiful stuff! What a fun dig, I've very much enjoyed following it. Keep the pics coming please!

I had to excavate a dump very much in the same fashion. We striped the top 6-8 feet of later junk and hand dug the bottom 2-4 feet of "pay dirt"... My best advice is to keep the hoe away from the layers that are producing. Dig out the already turned area to bottom in a large tract so that the tractor can drive right in, keep a wall exposed to be hand dug only, and move only the burden with the hoe. It will get dug very quickly this way, and there is less chance of damaging the "good stuff".

Hey Dan, I talked to one of the guys Saturday at the Atlanta Show and they are still digging. I don't think it is going to go on too much longer...
