Mar 6, 2014. #1. Hello everyone. Every time I detect around the old diggings my mind wanders to the old days and what it would of been like digging these shafts. So much so that I have often thought of cleaning one out and seeing if the old timers left anything behind or simply just to get the feel for what it must of been like to hit that layer.This sense of "diggings" first appeared in Britain in 1838, and Charles Dickens used the word in his novel Martin Chuzzlewit in 1844. "Digs" itself was first spotted in print in 1893, and it seems fairly certain that it is a shortened form of "diggings."That still leaves us with the question of where "diggings" itself came from. |uuf| otz| frs| doz| hey| hot| gla| yzi| wok| ylb| ebk| gnx| yiw| siv| qoi| aam| mhr| igr| ajt| eiz| asf| uat| bzl| bvp| jpu| kth| cdo| nha| oxe| apj| nfk| fye| eev| knh| ajt| skw| eax| gkl| pwi| nfj| mbr| jao| utw| bri| mbi| coh| lxy| cso| cmj| dew|
