Root & Rock Medicine with a dose of Vitamin B

Another hut excavation yields rocks and a few nice artifacts.


Here, my first glass of the hut becomes visible. Using my dig knife vs. the shovel insures that any glass I come across doesn't get the hatchet job. Using the knife affords one to feel when the blade crosses the smooth surface of glass. A very different sensation than even smooth rock. This bottle was directly under a couple of tightly wedged rocks and a root to boot.

This tiny medicinal came from the 9 o'clock location as you look down into the hole and hidden in the undercut. As you can see, some very large rocks have already come out.

Digging in the same direction as the location of the bottle led to the eventual recovery of the second part of the doctor's prescription. A perfect Company letter B, a weak signal that I scraped out well after sundown.
