Saturday night, Nic (mtfd2222) and I spent some time on the phone, planning a dig for Sunday. I had to be at church, as it was my week for setup. We went over the Sanborn's for the area we were looking at and settled on a saloon surrounded by three houses. A large pit sat in the middle of all four buildings, which we figured was a common one for the saloon and the houses (probably employees).
This is in a very bad part of Saginaw. We're talking murders, all the time. The saloon building still stood, boarded up.
Nic and Sarah got there first and probed it out. He called me and said he was hitting glass but that the area was starting to fill up with milling undesirables, who were eyeballing him. I told him to hang on, as I had a pistol and a 12 gauge I had brought along.
Once I got there, we figured that it was best to come back another day, early in the morning. Scratch one spot.
We went to another area we had discussed but it dodn't look promising. I said, lets go check out that abandoned railway station. So we hit a vacant lot across from it. Nic soon had a pit on the back line probed out. It ended up being a 4 X4 X4 woody, with all hingemold/pontil aged stuff in it.
A lot of unembossed meds, an early druggist, a pontiled Genuine Essence, a early Detroit squat, several commons, a nice pipe (damaged) and the find of the day.
Here is Nic holding it up.
