  • My good friend Norman Bleuler and I brave the 100 Degree heat to dig an 1850s pontiled privy...due to increasing hostilities from the locals we decided to bow out, but not before we dug several nice bottles.

    Great Effort Buddy. The elements and the locals were against you guys. Nice finds in the time you had. Look forward to the cleaned up result. Really enjoy it when you list the bottles and mention that they were recent digs. I bought a bottle from you that I was pretty sure I watched you dig. Very cool!!

      Yes, the natives were on the warpath so The Lone Ranger and I decided to bow out gracefully before something evil befell us. Its a shame that such hatred and racism is controlling so many people these days...and its only getting worse by the day. We just pray for them and choose to take the path of peace

      Hey Jim...thanks brother. Yea I tried my best to talk and make peace with the natives, but they were having no part of it man. They were slinging drugs and didnt want us anywhere around. Us palefaces showed some mercy and chose not to pull our guns (literally). There are plenty of other places to dig and most locals are decent and peaceful. God bless you Jim in your digs

      Yes, its only getting worse because of so many leaders who are promoting "critical race theory" and "wokeness", etc. However, the good news is we can just "let our light shine" all the brighter and not resort to the same hatred and bitterness that they have
