Ive got one lined up for Monday which will be dig number 4. The house got water late in 1871. The house was built c.1855-1858. Hopefully I can break this poop streak.

That doesn't look real safe. You got a lot of weight above your head.

Thanks for showing pictures of your unsuccessful holes, in a weird way it help me not get discouraged. As long as I know I'm not the only one who will dig for 6 hours, or work a permission for a year and come up empty, it doesn't suck as much. Because I know if I keep plugging away, and dig smart, the I tend to hit a hot spot before too long.

Thanks for posting your digging pics. Can I suggest that whenever you bump up your thread, that you "edit" the title, so we know that you've got some fresh pics on there.

GOOD LUCK THIS SEASON! hope you get one of those Baltimore colored pontiled meds

Here is how our crew looks at it.... for every hole that comes up empty.... that's one step closer to the good hole. We tend to think of it as a numbers game, so to say. Last year we had about 11-12 pits in a row that were crappy..... and then dug 2 back to back squat pits that everybody got picks from. Again, a numbers game.

Is that a essence of jamaica ginger in the right side of the picture? Don
