Spent two days trying to get a tiny piece of pottery out of a trench wall
I was working a dig near Flagstaff and found a small painted sherd about six inches deep in a very hard clay layer. The problem was my trowel was too wide and my brush was too soft to get it loose without breaking it. I ended up using a dental pick from our conservation kit, working for maybe an hour each morning over two days before it finally came free. Has anyone else had a simple find turn into a major extraction project?

Yeah, logansullivan has a point, sometimes you just need to walk away for a minute.
