Nice pics, I anticipate seeing your good digs soon.The dud holes aren't too bad if you get them over and done with quick. That way you save time for lining up and finding the next pit.

Im going to make this thread so everyone will be updated everytime we dig a hole. I would like to make a website but time is against me. You will be able to watch our progress. Enjoy!!

Lets start out...here is dig number one.

Dug this 12 footer...it was all filled in and done in 3 1/2 hrs. packed full of broken brick. it sucked.

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

perfectly safe. thats solid concrete. been doin this a while now.

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.

so when do I get invited to dig in coal country? Im due for a good pit [].

We're doin' another one tomorrow, but it's only a 7 footer. It has glass in it, too. Don't know if it's 1870s or 1970s; guess we'll find that out tomorrow AM.

Digphilly, when the weather turns, maybe we can arrange a dig to invite you to.Yesterday, 2 of the crew opened up a pit and had to go through about 8-10 of frozen ground to get to the soft dirt, and that's a pain in the a**, but they got through. The pit turned out to be a dud ...but we must dig them anyway, cause you never know. We are at a high altitude where we dig, so the weather gets a bit colder up here.The warm dig season is right around the corner. How far down is the ground froze where you are at?
