BOTTLE dangers. Digging Trenches

I just have to put in my 2c. I agree with both sides but everyone that has read this now knows a little about safety in trenches. I am Sure that everyone on here doesn't want to hear about someone getting hurt and if this tread has help 1 person then it has worked on why this was started. not to be mean just to say be safe and think. So don't be mad at him he is just trying to be a friend. (I think)
Bottle diggin' is getting bigger and bigger.....Been checking out site's on Privy diggin and the such....You just need to be careful and use your own judgement,when you start undercutting I can understand.....Never thought about the Pooper's until now......Got to agree,be safe and think
 

I also have 2 cents I guess. It's awesome that these guys found this dump and had a successful dig. I agree, they were relaxing, having a good time at an old dump, and with permission to be there, who really cares what they do to themselves? They are big boys, they can take care of themselves. Here is my problem with it. What if the walls do cave in on this dump and somebody dies. The best that can come of it is someone writes an article and other bottle diggers learn from others mistakes. The worst that can come of it is that some relative of a dead digger is going to get it in their head that this is a dangerous activity and start campaigning for governmental controls on bottle digging or even worse treasure hunting altogether (like we don't have enough problems with legalities). The next thing you know we will all have to take classes, be certified, and have to pay fees just to detect or dig. I have to say to spanishsilver(who I believe is the one that posted this vid), very nice work finding the dump, and very nice work getting such a large collection of bottles in one dig but...I would also like to say, please, please, please stay safe on your digs. I really hope you take everyones concerns into consideration. I would love to see more dig videos, and the way you are digging may or may not ever catch up to you, but if it does, we won't be seeing any more.

I just about had a heart attack when they were digging the cobalt blue bottle...I watched little bits of dirt fall from behind the bottle at about 15 feet down waiting for the hole wall to come down. Then when they pulled the bottle out of the wall, I couldn't watch.
 

I just received an email from an unknown person. This person went out of his way to send an anonymous email to me.Funny how people act.Of course I posted this because of their safety, not mine. I hope this person reads his own email and sees his errors.

PS. To the person who wrote in anonymous email. I don't dig trenches I leave that to the professionals..

Here what it said EDITED

like your one to talk about trenching, you fu***** useless piece of sh**. your a sorry excuse for a digger. The next trexh I dig will be for your useless ass.
you couldn't dig a good hole if you tried. I hope you pass away ***hole! I hope a huge boulder drops right on your head when your digging next. I hope it crushes your skull and your brains ooze out!
F****** DEADBEAT!

cute! ;)
 

Obviously somebody took offense to the fact that you were concerned for their safety. I said before that I thought it was great they were finding all those cool bottles, and that I would love to see more but if they keep digging like that eventually it will catch up to them and we won't be seeing any more vid. If they take it as anything other than concern for safety or at the harshest constructive criticizm, to heck with em. It's going to be real unfortunate for everyone when one of them is hurt in a cave in. None of us can stop them, and when one of them gets hurt you can't feel guilty about not trying.
