Must've been noxious and fumy, some of those old poisons had very lethal stuff in them. Ive heard stories about people opening one old bottle and being almost overcome. _____________________________ J.D (in reply to Reddielocks25) Post #: 2

My collecting experience would be complete if I ever found one of those… In a way that is what I am digging for every time I dig Not that I would pay for one, for me its all about finding. So Has any one on this form dug one before? (in reply to Reddielocks25) Post #: 4

The only bad thing about dug skulls is that they are almost always damaged. The glass over the skull's nose was very thin, and the lips chip easily. Even with a lip chip and a busted nose, they still display OK, just not perfectly. Even damaged ones can bring over $1000 if they are decent. There was a guy here on the forum who found a skull on a construction site one time. Unfortunately, I can't remember who it was .
