If you are digging in philly, I have only dug a few 30+ footers that were completely empty. Most had some layer at the bottom. Some only a few feet but that can produce a lot of bottles. We will be digging another 30 footer in philly this weekend also.

Nope not Philly Allentown.I wish it was Philly. But I still can't see them dipping the bottom of a 30 footer to just throw ash in it. If there were pipes in it yeah maybe,but not just to get an extra few feet of space.

Nice hole. Seeing photos of the deep ones that you guys dig gives me encouragement to tackle a deep one up here once in a while. Most of what see around here are 5 to 6 foot wood liners. Sometimes we find woodliners that run 14 feet deep or more, that is when I get nervous.

you may want to run a fan down the hole. CO2 is heavier than air so it will build up at the bottom. Assuming you want to keep breathing..

I found 2 30 footers here in Michigan. One was never filled in & 30 feet deep & the one next to it was filled to top with old broken meds pouring out of the top. Never did dig that one. LEON.

Did you take a picture of the one that wasn't filled in? That's the one I want to see. How do you know that one in the pic is 30 feet,did you probe it?
