All day long you'll have good luck.Well, that isn't true.... but you do get some interesting things from your day: A lady didn't stop on red before turning right. According to a cab driver who offered me a ride, she said that the lady didn't even look.
My brakes are weak and I had the right-of-way, so I tried angling into the road around the car but ended up flying up over its hood and seeing my bike fly over me. I get up and loudly say, "Wow!" (not a happy one) to the lady in the car.
I go to pick up my pack which had flown away and grab my bike as she gets out and grabs my shovel, repeatedly asking me if I was alright or wanted to go to the Emergency room. I tell her that passengers-- correcting myself to pedestrians-- have the right of way and get asked about my bike after insisting that I'm fine. I tell her that I'd test it out-- so I did-- as more people arrived on the scene.
Unbeknownst to me, I was actually too dazed to realize that, as I stared at my front tire, it was wobbling severely and warped-- I realized that after I bid everyone at the scene a good day and left.
I then wondered on the rest of my journey to go dig whether my tire was gonna fall off or not.
I was mostly concerned, though, on the camera-- so I stopped and checked on it. xD
I later realized that-- when I was inside the building and unable to get my eyes to focus in the dimness-- I was actually rather dazed. The building I mention is the one mentioned on here. I discovered that the water-table starts 1 foot down... I hit wet clay and muddy dirt. Not fun when there are shards even in that. And this bottle had been in it. Sadly, the base is missing! [] Today I forgot to take in-situ pics, [:'(], but I did nail what is an 1880s or 1860s Indian Head cent-- my oldest coin that I've so far dug, and I found it while using a flashlight in the darkness of the windowless room. I sat and ate lunch about a foot away from 2 dead animals. Had the flashlight mostly in my mouth for 3 hours of digging out the floor and wall. Wall is wood, cement, and dirt. I love how light termite-eaten wood is... It was like foam in some places. Also I dug some shards and a paver that I brought back. There was a jar-lid insert down about a foot, so this must be an older one(?)Not sure what this was.
Maybe my luck was down because the penny was so corroded? What can I do to clean it up safely? It's either 188_ or 186_.What say you?
My first pipes.... Same hole.
Early battery? Any ideas on age and exactly what it is?It says UL / MADE IN USA. I dug this up a bit above the water-level. Not sure what the exterior exactly is. It's somewhat flexible still, but it's brittle and acid-covered (acid now neutral, thankfully.) So.... How do I clean the penny to where it's readable, what is my battery-thing (there's a glass tube in it,) and how old do you think my pipes are? The building is circa-1890s in that portion, and everything is hand-tooled (except one shard) that I've been digging.Most bottles I've dug the shards to were S. B. & G. Co.-made bottles, so pre-1906 for most glass (lots of Baltimore Loop Seals.) I dug 1 intact bottle-- a blob, or to be specific, an oil-finish tooled by hand-- and an insulator made between October (likely November) of 1906 and July of 1907. Help?
