Back on the Knoll again but, it's way too soggy digging deep. More Ball Jar pieces...
...but, it has been raining since late Friday night and has not let up enough to dry anything out so digging is nearly impossible. However, we gave it a whirl for 45 minutes before the rain came back in.
The first 1/2 a foot went easy. Then we starting hitting the muck. From around 10" on down to where we stopped at the 2 1/2 feet mark, we were pulling thick muck to soup all the while finding bits and pieces of one of the Ball Jar Lids and some Ball Jar Glass, albeit, very small pieces.
I have mixed up all three (3) of the "Lids" and Glass pieces so I threw everything from this dig into a container and took a pic. Here's that pic:
There is a piece of a Prince Alert can in this bunch as well. This makes the 5th PA can since we started our grid layout on top of the Knoll.
Rain came back in and looks like it's here for another 2 to 3 days. We will pick back up digging when it [rain] lets up. For now, we are planning a trip to NW Texas, where there is no rain, to hunt a spot we hit last year.
My creek walk / hunt has been put on a semi-permanent hold - we want to hit some acreage in South Central Missouri that has been set aside for us to hunt (More on what that is about later).
For now that's all I've got. There will be more as I find it.
You know, I really never knew how addicted I was to Metal Detecting until my travel has been limited and this weather got weird. I might have to join MDA (Metal Detectorists Anonymous) if this keeps up!
Happy Hunting and Good Luck everyone. Here's wishing everyone better luck than I'm having.
