In May 2010, the Dayton Diggers pledged to clean up the Interstate 75 and Dryden Road interchange through the state Adopt A Highway program. Look for our sign!

Sergeant Brian Dulle was struck and killed May 10, 2011 by a suspect's vehicle while deploying stop sticks at the intersection of U.S. 42 and Utica Road. After striking Sergeant Dulle the suspect fled on foot but was arrested several hours later following a massive manhunt. In the assault, Dulle's wedding band was lost.

Dayton Digger Bill Baecker received a call asking for help in locating the ring and immediately picked up his detector and headed to the scene to see if he could help locate the lost ring. Within an hour, Bill had located the tungsten band which was promptly returned to Sgt. Dulle's widow.

The Dayton Diggers completed an initial dig at The Highland House in Hillsboro, Ohio. An 8 foot wide, 7 foot deep lathed brick cistern was excavated. Discoveries included quite a few bottles from the teens. A couple different beers from Cincinnati, a whiskey from Dayton, a 1915 Coke bottle (the first hobbleskirt style, sadly broken in two pieces), a straight sided amber "arrow" Coke from Cincinnati and a plethora of assorted embossed and labeled bottles. Lots of broken dishes, crocks, graniteware etc. The museum now has a nice display of artifacts with The Dayton Diggers name proudly associated with it.
