    After doing a bit of excavation clearing my towns, I realized I was making quite a bit of money doing it, more so than I was mining. I thought this morning I would do a full hour and see how much it was I could make. The list below shows how much of each block I got. It's worth noting that I used an Efficiency 5 shovel (4 is just as fast) with silk touch. I used Giga-Drill as often as I could for maximum excavation level gain. I also believe level 750 is when you get max drops, so lower excavation levels will result in lower numbers of drops.

    Results:
    - 7 dchests, 18 stacks of dirt ($.05) $1,267.20
    - 4 dchests, 27 stacks of grass ($.10) $1,555.20
    - 40 green discs ($100) $4,000
    - 41 yellow discs ($100) $4,100
    - 42 nametags ($250 on Market) $10,500
    - 1,024 Glowstone Blocks ($.40) $409.60
    - 275 eggs ($.25) $68.75
    - 32 apples ($.05) $1.60
    - 1,053 Cocoabeans ($.45) $473.85
    - 355 Red Mushrooms ($.50) $177.50
    - 372 Brown Mushrooms ($.50) $186
    - 44 Cakes ($1.80) $79.20

    Total - $22,818.90

    Obviously, the bulk of this comes from nametags and discs, making up about 80% of the money. Although it is worth noting that most blocks here sell for more than server price, such as glowstone, cakes, and grass/dirt if you have a shop. Nametags are definitely going to drop in price as City gets older and people have less of a need for keeping mobs, but there could be a couple weeks with these prices. People will still use nametags for egg spawns, but the prices will overall drop with time. I go through a hefty amount of dirt at my shop and sell it for 5x the server sell price, similar to that of glowstone, which would result in numbers greater than 30k given enough time to sell.

    Excavation level start/finish: 809-870
