My 10 year old's collection - 12/15/2005 11:50:21 AM    slimdigger Posts: 116 Joined: 9/4/2004 From: Richmond, Va. Status: offline Hi everyone. I have a 10 year old son that decided several years ago that he wanted to collect poison bottles. My digging partners and I have given him quite the collection as all of the poison bottle we dig go into his collection whether he has the bottle or not. I wish I had these bottles when I was 10. Sorry about the picture being fuzzy but there isn't much light in his cabinet. Slimdigger Attachment (1) < Message edited by slimdigger -- 12/15/2005 11:51:55 AM > Post #: 1

Then dad can sit back and relax some. As of right now I dig the bottles and he sifts the dirt. He gets to keep any of the small items he finds. I always try to throw a decent bottle out with the dirt to keep him interested. < Message edited by slimdigger -- 12/15/2005 2:30:15 PM > (in reply to slimdigger) Post #: 4

My kids have all grown up so I get to dig all the big holes and my wife gets in and scrathes out the bottles while I sit and gasp, puff, wheeze. I do like to sift while she digs. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to slimdigger) Post #: 5

That's a collection like I only dreamed about when I was 10! My girlfriend's son is also 10, and has an interest in bottles. I have started a small collection for him as well.

RE: My 10 year old's collection - 12/18/2005 9:00:29 PM    southern Maine diver Posts: 1436 Joined: 8/13/2005 From: South Berwick, Maine USA Status: offline Hey Slim, That's a great starter poison collection... congratulations for getting your son interested at an early age... they grow up real fast and boy they can change. My two boys are into the bottles and they don't get out near enough as I would like them to... They sure dug a few holes around here and they found a couple of promising sites. My youngest boy was a real "Whirling dervish" (look that one up Cap) that is until he came down with a wicked case of poison ivy... Anyway, he's a lot more careful now. I like the idea that you throw out a good bottle every now and then to keep him interested! I pick up all the bottles I find underwater, go through them and throw a lot of them back into the water in designated spot that only I know of... then, when they start diving, I can bring them to this "dump" and let them go at it!!

Of course I personally am hanging around for at least another 100yrs to pester folks. Hey Wayne, Little spinning Turkish dude with a funny tasseled hat and pointy shoes.

And lastly I could use this as a quote I guess but its good for us all to remember- no one lasts forever,pass it down,we are all just priviledged custodians of our bottles!
