Work and pleasure at the same time. I thiught only millionaires had it that good. _____________________________ 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 jwschaeffer) Post #: 101

The lady that owns the place, came out yesterday and said, "I have a yard?" I told her, wait til you see it with grass, you'll love it. Even though it looks bad now, when I'm finished there, it will be a major improvement. That is a double wide lot and a deep lot also.atleast 50'x 125' _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 102

If I head that way, I'll be driving most of the day Friday. Which means, if I can't talk to him by Thurs. night, I'll have to cancel. I just may cancel cause of weather alone anyway. Another reason I need to get a hold of him. I have plenty of places to dig around here this weekend and it won't be snowing and raining + 20 degrees warmer.  We were supposed to work out details before he came down here. If you talk w/ him please tell him to call me or get a no. to where I can reach him. If you can't, it's really no big deal to me. I'm diggin' somewhere Fri -Sunday.   Don't trouble yourself too much over this. I was just trying to help out big brother _____________________________ 'Meech' Our websites: http://mysite.verizon.net/flaschenjager/bottles.html Member of FOHBC - RABCA - APBCA Editor of 'The Digger' in full color!

I didn't do to bad today. I started what I think is another privy hole. I hit the later sink hole fill today and hope to get to the bottom tomorrow. I'll take the camera down with me If I remember. It doesn't even look like the same place after a couple of months digging. I found 3 whistle sodas and a Blatz beer, a pepper sauce a 2 handled chamber poy with blue stripes( in 30 pieces or so), The lid to the pot whole, one really nice mf christensen green slag I believe a T.H Kelly Hutch from Steubenville, some shards, a bailess crock, a couple of drawn up wines, and a pestle from a mortar and pestle set. and a really funny looking shot glass kinda thing filled almost to the top with clear glass. If I missed anything anyone sees in the pic just ask. here's a few pics. Oh yeah a couple of coal miner brass tags. and a dog mug that needs glued. wasn't a bad day hopefully tomorrow will be the earlier stuff.

Problem is its on both sides of a major highway,the highway dept & the owner were afraid we'd undermine the road (we were getting soooo ....close) so they threw us out.I still have dreams of what's waiting to be found,every time I drive by,the car <B>SLOWS DOWN.</B> Its kind of creepy,I think the car likes OLD bottles in it. We are still thinking of ways to dig,night digging!!??. The best we've come up with is being dropped off with all our tools,food,camping gear, etc,etc,etc. And spending a few days....DIGGING....before the highway sinks. _____________________________ So many Dumps,so little time.

Sooner or later they'll have to repair a slip there that hasn't happened yet. The face of the dig is at the gaurdrail posts. It's only a matter of time until I'm standing behind their machinery picking bottles out of the dirt and asphalt. I can't wait. Maybe I'll speed things up a bit more for them and have her drop me of there this week sometime. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to CanadianBoy) Post #: 119

I found a really good 1922 milk from Steubenville today not even 15 minutes after arriving. I also found a nice Cleveland crown top beer with the Star of David on it. A couple of whistle sodas from Steub and a local beer and a Steub. coca cola soda water and regular hobble skirt 1915 coke. I also dug up a shard to a very scarce Avella Pa. Bottling works soda or beer I'm ot sure yet. Avella is a very small town on the W.Va. line. I couldn't believe they even had a bottler. along with 3 marbles I'll post in my clean up pic later.
