bottle hole 3 took 3 hours to dig this big one out of the clay

[tinpan]

hi all. Went back to the bottle hole about 5.45am. Picked up where i left off. Down to about 8 feet know.I digging down on angle ,keeping one side higher. i stand on the higher side with my back to the wall of the hole. Why so if theres a cave in its not on top of me.I dig down a few feet then back fill and change sided. Sort of double handling and redigging but it keeps me safe.The content of clay is rising so its slow going.it took me 3 hours to get this 0ne gallon beer demi-john out.By 8 am it was time to leave as the temperature rises quickly and by 11 it will be nearly 95 degrees[f] .Will have to leave the dump for a few days as i go back to work monday and most of week will be too hot to dig .Here,s pic with other finds of this year to show how big this demi-john is.
