so I took a bite of my liverwurst sandwich.

Sorry that song was in my head all day![8D]

We did a little digging this weekend.A 30 foot brick liner and a oval bricker thats not done yet.Here is a picture of the 30 footer.
When we went to drop the ladder in, it came apart,the bottom half dropped to the bottom of the hole,a little hairy I must admit.We had to put a steel beaker bar a shovel and a rake through the second rung and climb down that part of the ladder,then hop on the other section that fell,and go down.Do not try this at home kids[8D]
Any way it turned out the only thing on the bottom of that huge pit was a doll head,how weird is that? It was all clay no layer of crap.
Then I probed out another bricker, that is still in the works,It turned out to be an oval brick liner.We thought it was square,but that was just where the out house sat.We didn't get anything old yet,its getting a little older,milk bottle era in the cap up top then TOC as we went down,then a few clear blobs,then------we stopped cuz I was beat [8D]
That pit probes 14 feet,we are hopping the bottom is at least 80s the year of the house.Gotta keep probing and digging! Because one day I wont be able to.[:)]


In the 30 footer,we dug down about 5 feet and hit a huge piece of Victorian slate,then we whacked it with a sledge hammer,it opened up to a black hole!
What did you think we dug 30 feet in one day??? hahah Im not that insane [8D]
"see where the ladder came apart" again some cool pix, & a doll head lol
