Maybe he is digging them now. Or----he will never return.

I don't have nothing against the guy,it just started to get on my nerves with the "privy folders" notes, maps, books compasses.sun dial etc Way over thinking, way.

Never thought of a sundial, I'll make a "Sundial folder". Thanks to all for all the good information.

Don't forget a sturdy box to put all your bottles in, a hard hat and some sunscreen in case the sun is out..[:D]

Got 6 blue 55 gallon plastic barrels with the top cut off, paid $5 each. Me and Jeff (bottle collector friend) are going to tear into a 1870's pit Saturday afternoon. Unless it rains! The weather in Kansas changes every 48 minutes.....

if you bring a box for the bottles, you wont find any. just put the bottles in the bucket you use to haul/bail at the end. if you fill the bucket, use the plastic bags and such from lunch and snacks. maybe bring the morning paper just in case to wrap the better bottles.

Heavy clay soil? No problem with the blunt tips we use. You want to see bottles laying in a pit like this, from yesterday.

All dressed up and nowhere to go! Dig Safe put the whammy on my Saturdays plan. Fiber line runs down my side almost directly below the depression. Guess I could side dig, but since this is my first one I'd surely screw something up.

Discouraged is an understatement !!!

Dig next to the pit and tunnel under. Go slow and gentle...no harm done.

Do not EVER bring boxes to a dig. it will "kill" the bottles sure as shootin'.
