Sorry it's been so long since there was a "Digs O' The Day" installment. I've been slack in both my digging and my writeups about the few outings I did make.
Around Thanksgiving (2010) I did get out once or twice. I found that Machen Square, one of the small squares in Downtown Brunswick, had been torn up for relandscaping, and any time there's "naked dirt" in the older part of town, my antennae begin twitching! I had dug there back in the mid-1990s and found a war nickel and a few other old coins. So one fine fall morning last November, I went out and slogged through the plowed-up park.
Below is a picture taken in February of 2011, showing the progress on a new fountain they're installing. (As of now, August, it's pretty much finished). Note the interesting "cat face" stone capital- they took some of these old carvings from an old Victorian building and are reusing them as part of the new fountain.
