We are just about at our maximum depth of 4 feet (OSHA rule) and are starting to find larger stone deposits that may be a wall or footing. We’re hoping we’ve (finally) reached the 18th century! #digBOS #digCTown #digBH250 #Boston250 #digBoston250 #dig250 #BOBH250 #BH250

Just found a local 1924 Hood milk bottle while excavating through upper fills of a possible fountain feature

We have uncovered what turned out to be a fairly large oval brick feature that locals say was a fountain dating to the time before the church was built. If that’s the case, it is a rare early 19th century part of the Dexter-Bridge garden

Can you spot the feature?
We have found a 4-meter (so far) curved sandy feature. We’re hoping it is a path from the early-19th-century Dexter-Bridge gardens. Also early 19th century ceramic
