I started when I was 9 digging behind my house and by 10 I was digging in a 20s dump poundin huge craters. I still love it the same (digging bottles) if not more. But I will never forget the excitment I used to get the night before I would go out on a dig. I seriously could not sleep at night. Im glad to see people get into this at a real young age, keep at it your collection will grow, you will learn a great deal, meet some amazing people, and it will most likly make you a better person. Good luck and take care! Digger Ry PS. What kind of bottles are your fav? I will send you a bunch of goodies for Christmas _____________________________ Professional Tumbling Services Digger Ry Style My Tumbling Page (in reply to Mattkoz) Post #: 5

I was 8 when I started digging with my father and uncle. I am 45 now and still dig and collect. You and those your age are the future of our hobby without new young blood it will die. Good luck in your future digs and collecting. _____________________________ McDirt (in reply to idigjars) Post #: 7

It's a good variety, I agree with Bottlediger you will probably meet some of the best people you can imagine in the bottle world. I do like your idea of the insulator in the fish tank it's pretty unique. I probably have a few bottles and insulators I can give you to add to your shelf. I just need to look at what I have in my boxes of newspaper to see whats there.  .                                                                                       Willy  (in reply to Mattkoz) Post #: 15

RE: New display in my room. - 12/5/2007 7:47:44 PM    Mattkoz Posts: 124 Joined: 5/29/2007 Status: offline Thanks, you are the first to notice the insulator. My collection is growing fast I have already gotten 8 whiskey bottles, 2 case gins, and an umbrella ink in aqua with swirls of milk glass all over it from tigue 710 a few weeks ago. And some blob top soadas in the past few weeks. Expecting some from my parents for christmas and a box of bottles from bottlediger. Thanks, cant wait to see what they are.
