DIG FEES
We will be digging 7 days a week at the Montell site!  We only have 2 months to dig this site before
the sale of property is final.  We are working with the new owner but we do not have a go ahead
after the place is sold, so we are going to dig this site as if we are not going to be let back in after July!

The TAAA has exclusive digging rights to this property.  You must prepay your digs at the TAAA office before
going to the dig site.  Directions will be given at the time you pay.
ON WEEKENDS - ANYONE SHOWING UP TO THE SITE NOT PREPAID WILL BE CHARGED A $10 FEE.

WEEKDAYS (middle of the week) You can dig all week long but the land owner cannot take your dig fees, you must pay through the TAAA office.  If you are not prepaid then he will not be allow you to dig.
