    Nice finds - Looking forward to the story.
    Looks like you will be pouring some concrete columns along with repairing the slab.
    The things we do for bottles!

    Like I have stated before this is the only way some of who are not rich contractors or doctors or lawyers will obtain a several thousand dollar whiskey or bitters bottle. And that is by DIGGING one up. Even after digging lotsa holes that only yield some slicks, I still look forward to that thousand dollar bottle a great colored western whiskey or bitters. And if we have to pour columns and reconstruct concrete slabs, then thats what we will do..Andy

    I feel sorry for the young pups of the hobby who are digging. The 70s were easy, huh.

    Hey JF,
    Very nice technical dig...just curious as to whether this was a "map hole", a GPR locate, "probe through a crack" or a shot in the dark. The concrete appears solid, and still parked on. Your cut appears to be dead center which is great. What was your MO ?

    Thanks for the comments.

    My SoCal dig partner, Dave G. is handy with the skill saw and repair work. It was an old house we had always wanted to dig. Map box marked the spot....So it was a simple few drill holes and then using the probes to confirm the existence of the holes' location. Then, demolition time!!!

    Techno jobs are 99% non-ABD which is the big plus side! The down side is the extra 1/2 day of labor and repair costs....oh, and convincing the owner that their concrete garage floor or driveway will be "just fine."
