We started something today. It probed like a pit, and is located right off an old sidewalk. We got a test hole down to about 2 feet. It's a mix of hard clay, ash and OLD glass/stoneware pieces. We're also finding a good many square nails, but no stone or brick liner yet. It's either down deeper, or it's a barrel liner, or it's just a small ash pit. We'll see tomorrow! I did find one little damaged 1860s bottle, so that was encouraging. ~Jim

We had a California Acorn Woodpecker that would fly over and wait for me to toss a peanut into the air so he could catch it. If I wasn't payin' attention to him he would land on my head. Wild birds are really characters.

Here are some Crows I raised and set free

I used to have 2 pet crows, I found them on the ground in a park, they fell from a nest. If I didn't take them dogs would have got them. They where NUTZ Ozzy & Joe where there names. Hey we know a Joe, will the real Joe The crow please stand up hahaha! I raised them and let them go, they stayed around for a long time. sometime they would fly down to me when I got home from work, all I had to do was sing Fairies wear boots by Ozzy Ozborn hahaha and and they would fly in.thay liked that song I guess.[/align] [/align]They never came back one day, I guess they found mates or what ever and where gone, It was cool while it lasted, I was going to buy some African crows once 800 bucks apiece, I never did. I still may one day, they are fun birds the smartest of all birds except for the raven. I have some pix of them, and the crazy stuff they do.

Very cool. I would have never guessed you were a bird lover. Never had a crow but had a pet Magpie in Colorado. Did have an assortment of wild birds for pets when I was kid. English Sparrows, Cedar waxwings and a few Blue Jays. Alot of kid kept Bluejays when I was a kid. I have a bud that has a pair he keeps in his living room. Bluejays and Sparrows can sure be charictures but I think Joey the talking Magpie had them beat. Joey was all he could say clearly but he tried really hard to say other things.
