Digging labor sounds great but scares me when it comes to bottles.It sounds like some tough conditions to dig. However, I can guarantee you that you will find a LOT more stuff if you sift. You will find clay pipes, porcelain buttons, more bottles, ink wells, etc. I had a friend in Virginia who used to go by the "Labor Ready" place and hire diggers while we sat in the shade and cleaned what they dug out. But those days are long gone, now can't afford to hire help any more.
