Something I do to cure Spring Fever is going back and looking at old digs. Gives me something to look forward to! Since it's been so slow, I figured I'd share a few...
We do Some digging in the winter, but not much. Dug this hole one cold day with NO keepers!!!
As long as there isn't alot of snow, we can usually keep a yard clean. It's warm in the hole, but COLD up top!!!
Big round brickliner. Got some nice 60's and 70's stuff outta there!
Loved this construction site! Some nice OLD glass came outta the ground there. We followed the dump trucks full of dirt and dug through the piles they hauled off of this site!!!
Always Tough digging on construction sites! Need a spike, a sledge hammer, an iron digger, a probe and Determination to find privies like this. Jerry scratchin out another!
It can be worth it when they're Loaded!
Small square brickliner. It's hard to believe how dirt can come out of this small hole.
Cliff getting down to the use layer in a woodliner.
Jerry (J Bird) pulling up buckets.
Getting some goodies!
This was a fun spot! Glass laying Everywhere. A cellar, trash pits, a cistern and privies were all uncovered and ripe for the pickins!
Liked this spot to! Found my very first privy on this site. They tore down another house like the red one on the corner.
Small oval brickliner. One man can dig one of these in a few hours, if all goes well!
I always check those Dirt piles!!! Found some good glass and stoneware on this site. Dump fill 15 feet deep!
Tim down in an oval brickliner. This one was Loaded with lime and trash... almost no dirt! Got a nice jug outta there!
We always do our best to keep it clean at a permission. Can you see where the other privies were dug next to this one?
The worst is when you hit Water like we did in this Huge rectangular brickliner. Tim slingin slop!
You end up with a HOT MESS to deal with up top! Got some good bottles though, so it was worth it!
Luckily we got to these before the dozers did! Can you see where we dug the privies? One was 15 feet deep and you can see a Mt. Dew bottle sticking out of it in the foreground... MY Calling Card!
Got in a few good cisterns to. Me down in the bottom of one. Got a nice cranberry red glass lamp outta there!
Always nice to see at the end of a hard day of digging!
Hang in there diggers... Spring is Near! Just six more weeks or so here. Hope to get out and do some digging and arrowhead hunting this year, for sure!!!
