Following criteria set by the Department of the Interior, participants will dig, screen, measure and catalogue the items they find. Past probes have revealed 18th century artifacts like square nails and an assortment of glazed pottery.Sign your 8 - 12 year olds up this summer July 16 - July 20, 9:30am - 12:30pm $125 per week per child.
