Here's how the day unfolded, Me and Leon were going to our digging spot and Leon got there early probed a crunchy area in a location we dug at last year near our current hot spots. So we went there, I probed the location he thought was good and it was nothing (probe went down but no crunch), so we probed some more and looked at the maps and I found a spot that was good but not the normal size, it was like 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. So we opened it up and only 1 1/2 feet deep there was a nice clear/aqua Geo Norris Hutch from Detroit. Then for the next 3 feet there was nothing but broken pieces of hutches and china. Then found a amber broken Exposition Blob beer this is a extremely rare bottle. Found a nice Cobalt Geo Norris Hutch from Detroit around 4 feet deep. We were almost ready to fill in the hole so Leon was checking the edges for something missed when Leon found a Hutch in the far corner of the pit and then it was like hutch heaven, there were 9 hutches and one broke one in that corner. This was a great dig. If it wasn't so hot we would of continued digging cause there are a couple more pits right next to this one.

We were at this spot last year and I probed till I was blue in the face. and could not find a spot. then this time it only took a few seconds to find a good crunchy feel. Funny how that works ! Tom

Incredible stuff. I know this has to be in Detroit somewhere. Love the bottles. Have you ever run into trouble down there? I live just north of Detroit. But grew up there.
We have been questioned by the police a couple of times in the last year. but never had any real trouble. We never dig alone. During the dig the police stopped someone across the street, there was all kinds of yelling coming from there, we just kind of ducked in the hole and stayed out of sight. Tom

Looks like a great dig! I hear you on the heat...dug a 4' x 4' x 10' privy on Sunday here in Texas. Needless to say I'm still feeling it!
