Knocked unconscious dig!

[john glassman]

Well the started out right I cleared the hole at new spot down around 5 feet down . I looked inside and a brick from above hit me in head I woke hour later. This is all I found and neat bone handle knife!

 

[Loco-Digger]

Nice finds. I recon you're gonna need to get a hard hat for future hunts.

Be careful not to let too many people know about this, OSHA will start regulating Metal Detecting!!!

[Chizzy]

Good "recovery"...........the hand painted finds are nice!!!

Was this an old privy hole? Just trying to wrap my mind around a brick falling from above.

 

[RelicDude]

Oh man your lucky you woke up those bricks can be dangerous. But I bet that igloo ink made it worth it

 

[gordonquixote]

Ummmmmm.....yeah, OK.

 

[RelicDude]

Ummmmmm.....yeah, OK.

Digging bottles can be quite dangerous your digging down quite deep and rocks and bricks can be quite dangerous. I just hope you don't have a concussion man

This was dump I should got the hint when ten cemented bricks fell and hit my shin bone . I wasnt expecting a brick to be above in the hole. When woke up splashed some water across my face went back to digging

[sunrunner]

good fines , the same thing happened to me many years ago ,that is y I do not tunnel or levee over hangs .

 

[MuckyBottles]

Ummmmmm.....yeah, OK.

Digging outhouses is very dangerous, that's why there is usually 2-3 guys digging.

A swig of concussion bitters could help

 

[Goldenplug]

Agreed Mucky. What does bitters not help?

I only dig deep with stuff above my head early in the spring when the top of the ground is still frozen. When the ground thaws I do not allow anything above my head. Whenever I feel particles falling on me I get out of town, this has saved me from some nasty stuff falling on me.

Another thing, instead of trying to dig deep think about digging wide and deep. Your first instinct is to get down to the good stuff immediately but that only works when the ground is solid, when it is thawed you will be battling with collapsing walls. Best to just dig wide and then deep.

Let it be a lesson, glad your ok.

Try having a bucket full of dirt being hoisted to the top and the handle breaks free....good thing we were paying attention or that would have been a burial pit. Be careful out there, hope for no recurring issues. jgas
