Hey Maine Digger....

I know what you mean about diggers itch...I got a new Tesoro Metal detector for my birthday and I'm tired of finding nickles and dimes under newspaper on my living room floor! I went up to an old "ghost town" last Thursday and waded thru 2 foot deep snow drifts to an old cemetery but kinda hard to see any thig thruogh the snow...a local told me where the old toen dump was and I found it but it too was buried in snow..my feet were cold and wet so I decided I had to wait a while longer!

Good hunting!

Two feet of snow [&:] and we complain about the cold here in winter [] , oz-riley I think we should be able to walk creeks all winter if they can dig in frost and snow [] .

As soon as I get the driver straightened out on my computer, I'll post some more memorable pictures of what we put up with here in New England. lol Actually, I relocated here in 1977, my wife and I raised three great lads and I wouldn't trade the childhoods this beautiful region of the country provided them. Buuuuuuut, the winters grow colder and longer as your hair grows whiter!

hello, my name is shawn I've been digging for about 30 years just getting back on the internet and found this site. It seems to be a neat site. I've dug the same sight for 30 years and i haven't even put a dent in it yet. I'm in kansas and have dug several times this last week. It's nice to live so close to my sight.!!!!!!!!!!!
Would like to get to know some of you and swap some stories.[&:]

Welcome to the Forum, I think you'll find this is a enjoyable and informative group to belong to. I joined in February, and they can't keep me away now! lol I feel like I've found a lot of long lost brethren, who else would tramp through mud, rattle snakes, snow, rain, ticks and more just to dig up somebody's trash from 100 years ago! I think we would all be interested in hearing about that 30 year dig you got going!

Hi my fellow crazies! It's nice to here about some of you die-hards because I'm feeling pretty nuts these days. I moved from Iowa to Kentucky recently. I had the privies to myself up there but now I'm finding dug ones everywhere. Let me give you some idea: out of the 17 privies I've found in Lexington, guess how many were already dug? That's right....17!!!! How about that for a kick in the teeth? Trust me.... it takes a die-hard loony to keep going after that. Well...I have to. So I've started heading out of town to find smaller towns that won't have been hit so hard. There were about 8 guys who hit Lexington for about 30 years...and they hit it real hard!
Oh well...wish me luck! And good luck to all of you.

John.
