RE: how can i find old bottle's and where to dig? - 3/10/2008 8:16:18 AM    Its_Me_Chris   Posts: 27 Joined: 9/9/2005 Status: offline I'm afraid I don't know much about Austrailia, though here in the states I would recommend that you start with trash dumps (land fills) first. If you happen to live near water that would help increase your chances dramatically. What I mean is, it seems that trash was often buried near-by water. I suppose it was much easier to dig the muddy earth here by hand, and more often than not, trash was burned so I can imagine the water provided a means of keeping the fire from spreading. If you make your way down around the out-skirts of an old town or, behind some old houses that border along a creek or inlet type waterway at low tide, you should have some success with your poker. Or perhaps even spot pieces of glass here and there. Dump digging seems to be pretty popular there in AU. And it sure beats the hassle of trying to obtain permission to dig private property. Good luck mate, I hope that this was of some help. (in reply to miketheozdiger) Post #: 2
