Hello,
Me and junior had a good time digging the other day.
Didn't find any whole bottles but just pieces and a few iron artifacts.

The iron artifacts below were my best finds
and my worse find is a bad case of poison ivy..covered with it
I mentioned to Greg jr that I was probably on poison roots and sure enough thats what I was doing...can't win these days

Nice pics Greg and sorry you did not find any whole bottles!! I am curious as to what all the iron could be! I looked and looked at the pic but can't come up with a clue as to what they are. The best part of all hte pics is that I discovered your a Skoal man! LOL! Me Too!
Nice to see your son was out with ya'. My son has not yet discovered the beauty in relic hunting and I have tried many times to get him digging. He loses interest in about 5 minutes!

Hey Bud, Sorry You didn't find any intact bottles and awaiting a description on the iron finds.
Just wondering what a Northern Man is doing in a "T" shirt OUTSIDE in January? The picture looks as if it's SUMMER!

Keep Looking and Showing Your Finds,
Good Luck, HH, Roger
