WOW i am in awe of you because of your age, you obviously know everything.
many other people have mentioned on this how destructive your methods are and if i was to show this to other digger friends who have as much, if not more experience than you, they’d say the same as me, your an idiot old man, time to give up and let the young boy’s like myself do it properly.

this should be flagged as a how not to do things video, most of the stuff probably only got broken with your careless destruction of the place, you my freind are an idiot of the highest order if you think your doing the right thing!

Only dug the site in one area….The loose ‘dirt’ is mainly soft coal ash and goes down approx 6 feet from the top of the dump then it becomes harder more compact layers of ash.

Certainly! When I’m down in the dumps, I dig very slowly and look closely at everything. You can find (and I have found) coins, jewelry, tokens, keys and locks, guns, toys, watches and fobs, buckles, buttons–all kinds of neat old things in old dumps and privies! Not just bottles in there! I was getting freaked out watching the quick careless digging in this video. :-/
