Re: Tanya, your posts are very interesting to us..
I do not think the dig is still going on. My friend was there Thursday night and the police showed up about 9:00 and told them they had to stop. She went back around midnight and got some more coins but became nervous when she saw a man walking near her from the neighborhood. The neighborhood is kind of the hood so she left. She returned around 2:30 but this time her approach was different. She stopped to ask a cop if she could dig so maybe he could give her a little extra security but was told the captain told them that no one could dig until further notice. She told the cop that she was just checking b/c she didn't want to get in trouble and he said, "We were just advised that if we saw anyone there that they would need to leave but no ones going to get in trouble." According to commercialappeal.com the Gale Center opened on Saturday which is where the site is located. I find this story as intriguing as everyone else. Take care!
