today was cloudy, windy, rainy and cold. we continued our excavation of level 5. we found some porcelain, nails, and bottle bottoms. and a lot of rocks. i finished cleaning up my walls today so they are looking beautiful now. my partner said they looked like they could have been cut by a lazer. anyway the soil is really hard and tough to excavate. so the slow process continues to be slow. our unit is deep enough that we were given permission to climb in it to excavate. that has made things a thousand times easier. and it was warmer in the hole because it was out of the wind. the attorney general of nevada came to volunteer today. she did some screening and lab work. she plans to come back tomorrow too. we found Feature 15 this afternoon. it consists of a metal hoop (from barrel? or bucket?) and everything inside it. it looks pretty cool.

It occurred to me today that the finding is more interesting if you are there to do the digging. The metal hoop, for instance, only takes a few seconds to read about, but it is the result of a whole day's work. A blow-by-blow of the day for say, 15-minute increments, would be boring to read. Nice job on the walls, appreciate that info, too.

Since your walls are cut with laser precision, maybe they should nickname you eLASERbeth.
