The town I do alot of digging in has some very sandy,gravely soil and digging woodliners over 6 ft. can get very scary.The longer the hole is open the more risk you take,this is one reason I don't tend to stop alot to take pics.This shovel full is what the walls of this pit were made of,gets the heart racing.

I posted finds long before you came along and won't stop because of you.I will not post on your threads but will not be called a liar on my own threads.What is funny is all the time you spend getting all stirred up I spend digging.Good luck on your digs.God Bless,Doug

cool story and good dig. i wanna see all those bottles you said you found. i need proof. [sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif] seems like good diggin wherever you are.

ORIGINAL: appliedlips

After I started filling the hole I decided to bust through the wall into another pit off to the side.

Do you mean there was another woodliner next to the one you dug? I woulda just tunneled into it and saved the time of digging it from the top.

great post Doug,

Matt.

Looks like some godd finds, and maybe even better stuff to come.

If aqua Eagles are nothing to write home about, I will take one for free.. Historical flasks dont exist in Canada from what I have ever heard.

Nice pit, Doug. After three not-so-great ones, I'm ready to hit another pontiled pit. I shouldn't gripe, we got a few keepers out of the last three, but there's nothing like a good, OLD pit! Great dig. ~Jim
