I mean rushing Niagra falls water. I brought a 1200 GPM submersible pump which ran for a few minutes then clogged with the muddy water even with a screen in a 5 gallon bucket. I guess a "mud pump" is the answer this year. Any suggestions? I can feel whole bottles below the water...lots of them. Just need to get them extracted before Summer. Permissions can be a fragile deal and can evaporate with a few months of "thinking about it".Westernglassaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162676128646657580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842291092692051858.post-47045955152129257472012-12-18T18:39:45.943-08:002012-12-18T18:39:45.943-08:00It is always a pleasure to hear what has been dug ...It is always a pleasure to hear what has been dug in the past.

Super deep lime...gorgeous.It came out of late 1850s-1860s context and was the only intact bottle in the little pit.

Those large size bottles are awfully scarce. Golden Plantationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166054735236043051noreply@blogger.com
