Hey Eric, Just me in my yard...once a scientist always a scientist I guess...a closet archaeologist is more like it. One trick that I use to dig...not sure if I'm the only one to think of this, but it seemed obvious to me after I couldn't find a strong enough plastic had trowel...is PVC cut at an oblique angle. See below. These are great because you can use different diameters and different lengths for leverage, etc. They worked like a charm for this dig and, as you can see, the bottle was not damaged. Chris

I'm guessing that was state sanctioned and maybe supervised, I see all the tools of the trade that should be used.If so did you get to keep it? If not, good job! You done it right. Some may have crammed a shovel down without thinking it through.That's a nice piece of history!!!

What you talking about Willis?
