set up a fourm Dig - 5/11/2006 3:12:14 PM    bottlediger Posts: 1371 Joined: 2/19/2006 From: York Pa Status: online I think it would be really cool to set up a Fourm dig, all the diggers get togeather thats one here for a Big old dig. Ive heard of bottle clubs getting togeather and doing this and always thought it would be really cool. I have a few really really big dumps, one is just 20s stuff and the other one is olddddddddddd and big but I dont have permission to dig there just found this one though. Not sure how dug it was but i was pulling out black glass, olive glass, ponils, blobs, hutchs all broken then found a plastic spoon....I think it was hit hard in the 70s...Anyway those are are a few I know of. Just some idea but I would like to hear what you guys think of the idea. East coast would be best for me around the tri state areaish Ryan Werds.... Post #: 1

It would be wonderful for us all to meet up like that. If Capsoda can come us peggers will show y'all how it's done. Wayne can bring the seafood.  Lisa (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 2

Some would just like to show up and watch.  Great bunch of folks in here (set up a snack bar/ keg beer ).  There are also a couple dudes I wouldn't want to stand within 10 feet of.  They can just plow.  You would have to quater off the heavy diggers from the slower ones.  HAHA.  I can move a bit of dirt myself but I would just get in the way of these folks.  Imagine the quantity of shovels, gloves, probes, dirt, ...nevermind the collection of glass.  A place in Pa would prob. be the best.   Folks in OH, MD, NY,MA,ME etc could get to within a drive.  The before and after pics would be amazing.                  Madpaddla (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 3

RE: set up a fourm Dig - 5/11/2006 7:28:32 PM    capsoda Posts: 7712 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline Looks like capers, onions or olives. Take a pic of the bottom. Sounds great. For some reason I can fly to Philly from the most expensive air port in the world {Pensacola, Fl.}for $100 round trip. They call it a bus route? Anyone got a spare bed, cot, sofa, barn for two. < Message edited by capsoda -- 5/11/2006 7:29:48 PM > _____________________________ 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 PhilaBottles) Post #: 9

RE: set up a fourm Dig - 5/11/2006 11:11:25 PM    Bottleman Posts: 851 Joined: 9/3/2004 From: Central Pennsylvania Status: offline That sound like a great plan Ryan! I was already planning on traveling to York, PA this summer because I met friend who lives in Wrightsville near York. After seeing the old (pontiled) bottles from there I would be very interested in doing some digging. I was actually planning on doing some asking to try to get permission for some privies there but a forum dump dig sounds great too. Let me know if you guys pick a date and time. It’s probably only a 2 ½ hour drive from where I live. ~~Tom (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 18

I'd bring some tanks too so that Wayne and I and the other fish could sneak off to explore the waterways near the dump Sean (in reply to PhilaBottles) Post #: 20
