I've found a hole.
a hole my shovel sinks into under its own weight. or with a little bit of persuasion.
its right along the property line on a lot a house from the mid 1800's used to stand until recently, i removed several old rocks and bricks from the top of the hole and started digging up loads of rib bones from sheep and cattle, some bits of skull, neck/spine and joint ends from stock pots i assume, but only one broken bottle so far, an old torpedo bottom, and half of a green and white china noodle/soup bowl. I got about 3 feet down before the sun went down, filled everything back in, left the bones along the fence line in case anyone wanted them, i thought they were pretty neat.
I only have a little detecting shovel, i'm working overseas away from home, i essentially have nobody to help me, and I only have one sunday off until i leave.
should I try to dig this hole out? Or would my efforts on my last day be better suited metal detecting the beach and house lot? I dont know how far I may have to go down either, and I dont have any buckets, but i might be able to cabbage some waste oil containers from work.
anyone in the port fairy victoria area in australia want to dig a hole?
