Hello all. Had a great weekend. Spent all day Saturday & Sunday searching for new places to dig. Went down to the Ohio River on the Indiana side and found were New Albany Glass Works dumped there glass in the river from 1866 to 1880. Huge chunks of beautiful glass. Olive greens swirled with amber, blue, aqua, different shades of amber & green. They will look pretty in my flower bed. I thought about selling them at the flea market along with a write up about their history (just a thought). They are beautiful. Found new possibilities for the upcoming holiday weekend. 4 blissful days of digging (hope mother nature cooperates). Also found a cistern at a site that is being developed. There is a small cemetary dating back to the Spanish American War. I secured permission to dig it up and the guy even cut it dow about 4 feet for me. Anybody have any pearls of wisdom on digging a cistern? It' about 8' wide, hand cut stone liner with some repairs made of brick. How deep are they usually? I can't find the privy though, any suggestions?
Thank-you,
Lisa
