A few minutes later I returned with the hand-held light, and operations resumed. Randy was using the shovel, while I held the dredge in my right hand and the light with the other. We both watched the light go up through the transparent hose all the way to the surface where it would be discharged unceremoniously onto the screendeck. I was laughing so hard I could hardly stand it. Andy Hemmings desired to be an archaeologist ever since he has been able to define the word.
Archaeology is the study of past cultures and their remains.
As might be expected, Andy collects fossils and has about eight arrowheads he found at a building site near his home. However, Andy's pet hobby is gathering something some people feel is reflective of our culture - beer cans. As a result of can collecting, the upper half of the back wall of Andy's bedroom looks like a montage of beer commercials, row after row of beer cans held up by clips. That is only a sample of his collection. The majority of it is in storage.
