Dig Day 2

          Today we met our dig instructor Mr. Terri Chandler. He really is an interesting, fun, and outgoing person. He gave us all nicknames, and each name seemed to suit us well. We really enjoyed meeting him and getting to know him. After surveying the area, we found three main areas we believe to be something interesting.
           The first site was a giant hole with rocks built around it. Mr. Terri and a couple of other men identified it to be a pit. They instructed us to clean around it and inside of it to see what we might discover. The pit seemed to go on forever, leading us to believe it could have also been a well. While digging in the pit, we found a numerous amount of objects such as: horseshoes, tools, nails, and much more.
         The second site was an area right below the pit. It was a center of something, possibly a chimney. It had a lot of fire rock and bricks. We were instructed to dig on the inside of the pit to see what we might find. During our digging, we found glass, pieces of tin, pieces of pottery, and glass bottle tops.
          The third site still remains a mystery. Along the lines of the first sight to the left is a lot of rocks piled up. We believe their could be something here, or it could be a rock pile that the slaves would have done. Along the road, we got traces of metal and tomorrow we are going to dig around to see what we may find.
          Tori stated that her hands would probably be stained after sifting so much. I asked Will, "What do you think is different from the dig last year?" Will exclaimed, "Well, I feel like this work is more difficult because of the trees and roots we have to encounter while digging." I asked Jakob, "What is your favorite part of the dig so far?" Jakob said, "I really like to dig. It makes me feel like I am actually doing something." I asked Addie the exact same question. She stated, "Definitely getting to work with Terri again." This concludes Dig Day Two's report.
