Haha, Kideny stone... All I got today was about 10 million black berry seeds... And a slick... No trash at all in that one! Least it was only five feet deep...

Oh man, my back hurts just looking at the picture of that rock. I'm sorry you didn't get the payoff you deserve. I went diving today at a great spot for 4 1/2 hrs underwated, and I came back essentially empty as well. It was a lot of work, but no way was it as hard as what you did today.


I've got to say, of the few successes I've had digging privies ( not here in New England, elsewhere), when it pays off, there is nothing quite like it. Stacked bottles, like opening a treasure chest, and you know that everything you find, as you go deeper and deeper, will be progressively older.

One part of diving I dont like quite as much, is that it is like all the trash went through a washing machine, and everything is churned up and mixed together, so you spend a lot of time handling empty Budweiser bottles, and new Coke cans, and you hope you find that pontil bottle mixed in.

Dont give up ! Hope you hit a big loaded privy soon

The only pain I feel is in my lower spine,I take those duds with a grain of slack lime, sooner or latter one will pay off.[:D]
