So i went out the other day and dug a hut site out of the 50 or so that are there and i got about halfway through digging it before i had to head home lot of digging but it was worth it to me. If anyone could give me some advice on how to dig these out or how big they are and how deep i would appreciate it i know i didnt dig this one all the way out. Thanks Adam. PS the pics are off a phone so not the best quality.

Nice finds buddy the huts are bigger than the hole you dug you have alot of work left on that one hut for sure.

see ya soon

Nice finds. You may need an in-hole pinpointer like a Bullseye-II from Whites. There are better ones but I have used mine for a while and it works well. I could not dig without it. It saves so much time and yield small holes--don't forget to cover and stomp them flat.

That's awesome Adam....Congrat's on the find's :thumbsup: Talked with Hutch lastnight,sound's like it will take a long time to dig these guy's out.Let Ty and I know if you need any help digging some ::) Nice going!!
 

Adam, Great finds.... Let me know if you need me to bring my shovel :thumbsup:
 

You are going to have to change your online name
to DIGGING VIRGINIA!!!
Great finds. The photos are getting way better too. LOL
 

I sure hope that hole isn't an example of how big a hole you have to dig to recover one item? Just be sure to fill'em all in after you're done. Those are nice finds. If a hut, a latrine or outhouse should be close by and you will find all kinds of thing in one of those. And if you run out of anything else to dig, try to find the trash dump! Monty
 

Take a sifter along and find clay pipes and marples that you miss with your eyes.
 

Nice finds!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
