Actually, I got my worst cases doing archeology (just another way of saying: "sanctioned pot-hunting")... But I miss bending over a screen full of soil, waiting for the next projectile point or pottery shard to pop up... And I miss the thrill of that o.p. base buried in the muck turning out to be a complete tobacco-amber Phoenix Bitters bottle (in my dreams!!!)... (in reply to grdigger35) Post #: 42

Then I wouldn't have to dig anymore. I'd just buy the bottles I want. I think you'd find that the guys are right; you'd miss the dirt. I think it's the thrill of seeing something coming out of the ground after 100, 150 or 200 years that's really the holy grail, the bottles themselves are just the frosting (or the wine in the grail, for a better analogy).
