RE: Motherload!!! Day Two of trash pit(continues) - 1/24/2007 6:33:54 AM    tiqhuntr Posts: 37 Joined: 1/22/2007 From: Loogootee, Indiana Status: offline Zane,    Man, thanks for the memories. Back in '71 my partner and I located a site in one of the oldest towns around that was a resort around the turn of the century. It took us months to dig it and never finished it. The owners just got tired of us "moving dirt". My, I found some great dumps back in the 60's and 70's. In the mid 60"s I located a Vets dump site that had Pontiled cobalts with ground glass stoppers in excellent condition. One of them had an object in it that smells like clove. Yes it still has a fresh strong odor after all these years. Another time my partner located a site that was where the owners had empted their grandfathers general store and it was a mother lode. Wow, you will really treasure this site, it will be just as much fun 40 years from now as mine are today. I could go on and on about the old days. That is all we old guys have a lot of any more, memories. Thank you for sharing it and giving all "dump divers" the hopes of, or the memories of :       "The Mother Load".    GREAT JOB!       Earl _____________________________ A bad day diggin' is better than *** (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 141

This was the day that started it all! Finally The first thread posted from that dig was under a different name and I just ran across it. I think it's important to keep all of these posts and different threads together. http://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/m_75531/mpage_1/key_Kalamazoo%252CMich%252E/tm.htm#75531 _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to tiqhuntr) Post #: 142

Its fun to look through this forum and see people are pulling treasures right from the ground. Some people would just look at it as a trash pit and nothing more, but not glass hounds. I hope I get to dig someday that would just be great. Until then I guess all I can do is feed my obsession on the Bay right?  (in reply to Just Dig it) Post #: 152
