RE: made my own torpedo holder! - 7/22/2010 10:39:50 AM    peejrey   Posts: 1596 Joined: 7/4/2010 From: Hickman TN Status: offline The thing is I have over 300 bottles, none have been dug. BUT one it's an Embossed DR. Pepper 10-2 and 4 bottle. The land I live on used to be my great grandfathers. I know he lived here before 1900. I found it on the bank of our creek. That were he dumped all of his trash, (including his bottles) So i've got a small dump behind my house I'm going to dig it out this winter. Yeah it's a story, but you should see the stuff i've found with the metal detector. _____________________________ ___Preston J.
