Detriot razing old homes?

[CALDIGR2]

I see in today's local rag that large parts of Detroit's most blighted neighborhoods might be bulldozed and the land restored to agricultural uses. Does this mean ancient homes where good bottles might be found?

I saw that article and though the same thing. I guess it all depends and which neighborhoods they decide are worth keeping around.

Detroit is really tough to dig because it expanded so quickly around the turn of the century. Much and many of the old neighborhoods were turned into commercial districts and pretty muched ruined. I dig have a chance to dig in one of the origianl "Corktown" neighborhoods, but did not much have much luck. It is extremely heavy clay and very hard to probe. One of Michigans best diggers on that side of the state is a good friend of mine, has hit many cities & towns around there, but also has never had much luck in Detroit.
