Likes & Dislikes of Digging Hemingray
by Roger Lucas

Reprinted from "Crown Jewels of the Wire", May 2000, page 11

                                                                                                              
                                                                                           
                                                                                           
                                                                            

Groundhogs that kick out good insulators from their hole.

Hearing a flock of birds flying overhead early in the day.

Digging up a whole bottle. Smelling wildflowers that grow around the area.

Discovering a whole 7 -up green D-990 experiment piece.

Seeing people walking, jogging and bikeriding along the rails to trail paths.

Picking out glass oil lamps parts from the wall of a hole.

The feeling I get after finding a whole inkwell.

Finding a smooth base Hemingray 42 in blue.

Eating lunch right on top of the dump.

Locating whole Globe fruit jar lids in amber from the 1880's.

Groundhogs that stare at me while I'm digging.

Hearing a bunch of trains flying through Muncie all day.

Holding a whole bottle that explodes in my hand when the sun hits it.

Slicing a jade green milk Hemingray 12 in half with my shovel underground.

Smelling wild onions after walking through them.

Discovering a hole filled with aqua D-990's in pieces.

Seeing the police walking towards me.

Picking out bricks from the wall of a hole.

The feeling I get when a centipede walks across my hand.

Finding a Hemingray 42 in clear.

Eating lunch right on top of the dump with the smell of railroad ties in the air.

Locating a busted Coke bottle from the 1960's.
