Remember, the pointed end of a large pick axe works wonders in helping to break up those compacted shells.

Thanks, I'll try that on my next trip, Saturday. Question for you...in a farm field how does this stuff pack back down when filling the hole? When I go to put this stuff back I'll put the shells in 1st of course and then put the top soil back a top. But can I expect it to pack down ok? Dont want any huge mounds i have to explain to the farmer. lol ...like you say, these sob's litterally ate a boat load of oysters every year.

Its usually not a problem, but its a good idea to pack it down in layers as you fill it in. If you just start piling all the shells in the hole you might run into a problem. But as you said, make sure you put all the shells, bricks and bones in first.

Barrel key is great, I found one similar before.

Congrats on the copper and key.
I would be interested in finding out what your going to use as a sifter in the clay. I have a spot that is clay, actually the clay pit is at the edge of the field where they mined the clay to make brick.

Looks like you got yourself on a great site. Nice finds. I thought the key was a clock winder. I'll have to take a look at a similar one I found.
