Hello all:

Comes off alittle cliche when folks say it but it is true. Some of the worst part of digging is just that....the dig. Toiled for 2 days, this being the third. Dug as they say here..in a tremch...layer by layer...haveing tried every other way to dig ....the folks here are right. Dig systematic when you know there will be bottles. With my dump there is a layer of brick about 6 feet down...then a layer of ash ...then another layer of brick...So in a 6 foot trench I have had to go through 12 feet of brick...but here are the spoils. Thanks a ton everyone. Try things for yourselves...but these guys/gals got it right. Ben

Local AQUA meds are hard to find. Only found 2 so far. To find 2 in one day...real nice. If lets say $10..what is the value on an aqua one??
