Hey Dumpdiver, I only live a few miles from you (I am just south of Lowville) and I am tempted to take you up on your offer and help you out. However, I am not to keen on crawling into holes filled with water... in the winter...

Is it anywhere near Theresa NY? I owe my brother a visit anyway.[]

Thanks Eric, I'm honored. Lets put any doubts to rest so we can enjoy the rest of the story. I can see where it would sound find of far fetched and I've only told/showen half of it. Your brother is about an hour N NW of me so you'ld be traveling right through here anyway. Happy Digs... DD (you got mail skippy)

Early doomsdayer bottle collector's bomb shelter. [] I may not be finding squat lately, but I sure am enjoying seeing you pull out all those goodies, and looking forward to seeing what comes out next. It's gonna be like downersville for me when it finally comes to an end. [&o] I'm hoping for a nice, thick layer of pontils at the bottom...

We'll finally get to see more this weekend. It's going up into the 30s so I can run the pump again and see what I'm doing instead of just slopping around. I might even throw the pump in one of the other ones for a sneek preveiw of whats to come. Theres stiill a couple months till sping and two more of these holes in the area. Work,work,work... DD

Yep, went slopping around again today and this time it was warm enough to run the pump. First you attach the suction hose to something so you can shove it in there because it's sorta frozen into a loop. Keep one hand on the pump to make shur the pole doesn't pull the pump into the hole. Now it's time to go make a sump hole to bottom. There was about a foot of water left and after mucking around a bit it turned into...muck. Anyway the other day I found a Fraser bottle I couldn't get light through till I duck taped a spotlight, Today I found the stopper.. Yep,again. That place is weird in a fun way, 23 canning jars and only two the same. Anyway thats enough for now I don't want to get the "ney-sayers" going. Happy Digs.... DD
