Dig Day 3

            Today we got straight to work. I began the day digging in site A, the site of the pit. In the pit we found so many things. We found a bottle that dated back to 1801! I thought that was quite a discovery. We also found nails, stove pieces, hedges, knives, and a lot of cool tools.
            We discovered a rock on top of a rock in Site A to the left of the pit. Mr. Terri identified it to be a corner of the foundation, and that is what it signifies. Sifting dirt was a big part of the day. Tori stated, "I am sure we have sifted at least 400 buckets of dirt." We found a lot of similar items while sifting. Diamond said, "A lot of it looks the same, but it really isn't."
            A majority of our day included some really cool animals. We found lots of worms while we were digging. When we started digging through some holes, we spotted 2 scorpions the length of my finger, yikes! Michael was digging in the pit when he saw a rainbow colored lizard, and he said, "I'm pretty sure the dirt is getting to me." Addie, Tori, and Terri found a spider that was the size of my thumb. Addie stated, "yep, who's ready to do something away from here?"
          I got to work a lot with Donnie and Steve, considering it was there last day. Me and Steve had some really interesting conversations about archeology and his line of work. Tori and I's favorite part of today was when we found a really hard piece and asked Mr. Donnie what it was. Mr. Donnie presumed it to be a very thick walnut. While he was examining it he said, "Well, it looks like a nut but it's not acting like a nut." It was very humorous. This concludes Day Three's report.
