Maybe $20.00 or so... Of course, the older ones with all the cobalt decorations go for big money, but I'm sure you already know that. Wayne (in reply to dollarbill) Post #: 2

Ive never dug a big one like that whole. Great piece Bill. I do know an older gentilman and historian that found over 300 unglazed crocks burried in southern Alabama but they were Indian burial crocks and were inhabited so they were recovered and there where abouts is kept secret to prevent desicreation by anyone. _____________________________ 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 dollarbill) Post #: 6

How would those people feel if I went and dug there grand parents up. Apparently, my great grandparents were disinterred from their plot in the Helsingborg Cemetery (Sweden)... I guess plots there were often resold; but where are they now? Anyway, if their disinterment would have helped our understanding of the human condition, I think that would have been ok and a better result...

RE: big crock - 3/12/2006 1:00:52 PM    capsoda Posts: 7917 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline For Indians and Hebrews burial is a very religous experance and it is bad ju-ju of the worst kind to disturb a grave. If the world doesn't under the human stain by now then they wont get it at all. I don't agree with all the religous doctrine of either group but digin em up always disturbes me. Gives me the creeps. I understand the Ice Man laying on the ground and some of the others but to dig them up every time you find them I don't think is necessary and not putting them back with all their belongings is gust wrong. Just my feelings. We can talk about it oer some beers or something in 21 days. _____________________________ 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 dollarbill) Post #: 10

RE: big crock - 3/12/2006 1:14:57 PM    bearswede Posts: 2910 Joined: 9/28/2004 From: western mass Status: offline Burials in this state are left in situ unless they're in danger of being destroyed by construction or nature (floods, etc.)... Excavated burials are re-intered after being cataloged and studied, if they can be varifiably claimed by an extant group... As for me, I either want the old ash pile boosted into space (by a model rocket by the looks of my pocket...), or placed in an antique bottle ( Dang! I was gonna use that ol' Doc Townsend bottle 'fore I sold the sucka'...Oh well, maybe I'll settle for a Bryant's Stomach Bitters -not the lady's leg-)...

RE: big crock - 3/12/2006 1:46:54 PM    Mihai   Posts: 276 Joined: 1/3/2006 Status: offline The disinterring is a matter of culture. I'm from Romania (yes, I know, Dracula) and we disinterre our dead after seven years from burrial. There is a small service, people eat a bit, drink a lot, cry a bit and lough a lot, remembering the dead. If the family own the grave they can reburry the decesed, if not the body will be put in a chapel. This goes for catholics and orthodox aswell. _____________________________ Mihai This whole worlds wild at heart and wierd on top (in reply to dollarbill) Post #: 12

I think I could really enjoy a few drinks and some stimulating conversation with you. I believe you are a deep person...... but I also think you are funny as hell.

RE: big crock - 3/14/2006 12:23:35 PM    Mihai   Posts: 276 Joined: 1/3/2006 Status: offline Gunsmoke, nothing could be mare pleasant than to have a glass of talking with you. I've met some of the most nice, cool, funny and smart guys in this Forum, but there is a problem. The small river called Atlantic. Maybe one day I will brake my piggy bank and America, here I come! I'll rent a Ford Mustang, buy a map of Route 66, and visit all the "bottlectors" that I know. Be aware, you've been told. _____________________________ Mihai This whole worlds wild at heart and wierd on top (in reply to dollarbill) Post #: 15
