Finds from last few days!! - 10/8/2008 6:33:30 PM    Bent_Twig Posts: 84 Joined: 10/8/2008 From: Northern Ohio Status: offline Hi folks!          New to the forum and new to bottle collecting.I spend most of my hobbie time looking for indian relics. My Dad collected bottles years ago and got out of it. Now that I am getting into it he is doin' some diggin' w/me. I have found a few in the last week or so. Would have brought alot more home but Dad keeps me in check. Trying to bring home the stuff before the ABM time. It's alot harder to find a dump to dig that has these older bottles. Anyway I have found some and my arms are wore out from digging. You have a great forum here and I hope to stick around and participate. You all post some incredible finds by the way.Now all I gotta do is find another dump to dig!                                         Bent-Twig.

RE: Finds from last few days!! - 10/9/2008 10:05:37 PM    Bent_Twig Posts: 84 Joined: 10/8/2008 From: Northern Ohio Status: offline Glass Man,                 Thanks for the response.               That flask is the one my Dad likes best too. He was'nt with me when I dug that one up. I stopped over to his house to show him the stuff I found , and that was the one that caught his eye. That got him to go diggin' w/me too! At this dump someone had dug it years ago I think. Everything broken bad , but around these two small trees when I dug around the roots about 15 good bottles came out. There must be 15 to 20 broken flasks just like that one all around those trees. Also found a broken clasped hands flask. I'm thinkin bout goin back  and taking the axe w/me to cut the roots away and see whats under those two trees. Here's some more pics of the little flask. This is a fun hobby!                                   Bent-Twig. Attachment (1) (in reply to glass man) Post #: 10

First off ,  Thank's to everyone for the warm welcome, and nice comments on my finds!! beendiggin,                   I really like that bottle too! It took me an hour to get that one out . It was wedged in about 4 big roots. I'm shocked that it survived. I had a amber colored flask wedged right above it that did'nt fair as well. Here are some more pics of it for ya!!It's about 7 inches tall. Attachment (1) _____________________________ A bad day of bottle diggin' is when you loose a finger on a broken screw top!
