It looks like the dig went "well", I am glad to see more work at the granite slab GPR anomaly. I hope you are back again in 2013 and we can team up for more geophyz. Please keep in touch. Have a great time at Cummiskey’s homestead in Ireland!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4934082776237806721.post-13615926546479079202012-07-22T21:25:19.761-04:002012-07-22T21:25:19.761-04:00Kudos Dave!!

It truly was a great team. As marcelle katie and i were walking back to our cars after dinner tonight we couldnt stop talking about how much we learned and how much were going to miss our new found friends. A week was not nearly long enough! Cant wait to travel with you and the rest to ireland in a few weeks. Until then stay safe and god bless! -amiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4934082776237806721.post-84776730087799273382012-07-21T00:01:17.403-04:002012-07-21T00:01:17.403-04:00My son and i stopped by the site on Thursday the 1...My son and i stopped by the site on Thursday the 19th , I have always had a passionate interest in my Irish history and heritage and am ecstatic that my son shares this passion also. My family immigrated from Ireland in the early 1800's and settled in Charlestown where most of my family still reside today. My last name is Doherty . Any way ,about 15 years ago i moved to Lowell mainly because of the cheap rents and come to find out i did what my relatives did decades ago ...LOL ...(although i didn't dig canals i did however come to Lowell because of economic reasons....As my son and i watched the team sifting thru the dirt we were greeted so very friendly by a gentleman who is (forgive me if im mistaken) the history/caretaker of St. Patrick's. He introduced my son and i to the WHOLE team and showed us what was found and we actually held the items) I am so grateful to meet someone as passionate about the Irish history here in Lowell as I am !!! I am still gloating about the experience and intend to follow this journey into the past ,THANK YOU again for letting my son and i witness and hold the artifacts ....On friday we went back to see the team open the well they unearthed in which there was fresh water that hadnt seen the light of day 150+ years And as big as i am ,My offer is still open to climb down the well !!!...LOLMICHAEL DOHERTYnoreply@blogger.com
