Hello all. I had my harddrive wipe -out so i couldn't remember my info to log on to this site--therefore i am a new participant again. ANYWAY--as i had written a while ago-i have two sites to dig. The first is the homestead from which we are taking a log house, at which my son found a pontiled aqua merchant's lockport bottle. When time permitts, i will dig the ravine there as well as some depressions in the yard. The second site is where the house is going--my lot which is next to my current 1900 era house. Its full of stuff--glass, metal cans, old forged things, all in a foundation from much earlier. MY problem--we will be getting the excavators in to do the new foundation in June so i'm under the gun to dig out all th cool stuff. How deep should i go?? How far outside the old foundation hole should i explore? How do you deal with all the tangled root systems of old lilacs etc? uh--and we also found two old unfired howtzer shells, and a..well, gravestone from1862. So far no body. And a 1Rheal silver spanish colonial coin, 1815, Ferdin VII Help!!!!! thanks--ml
