Badger and I got out today to do a little diggin,SPRING HAS SPRUNG! I was out walking yesterday in a spot I have walked many times. There is a house that sits on a high rock cliff that dates 1804. We searched high and low in this area for bottles but only came up with old shards and newer whole bottles from shallow dump spots.
Yesterday I found a spot that seems to be an (older) dump from the old house.The dump sits right below a 15 foot high rock ledge. A perfect place to drop unwanted trash and bottles.I thought it would be a shallow spot like the other places we tried in this area but we dug 5 feet today and it keeps going. The first foot is new junk 20s 30s but below that the old layer hits. There has to be majorly old bottles some where in this area,will we find them? probably not,but we still keep tryin.
We didn't dig long today Dave had to go home and wash the dishes or something like that [8D]

Hopefully we will have some privy bottles to report soon,I just got permission to a big 1860 house. But i'm not going to count my chickens before they are dug [:D]


I seen them in this color, but all of the Pierce's I ever dug were aqua.

We dug some slicks.marbles and nick kacks. That was it. Hopfely when we go back we hit a pocket. The bottles aren't flowing but there is the potential to find something good.
