Better late than never!

Well I run heavy equipment for a living in Fl. and this site was the reason I got a little bug. I was preparing this site for some apartments to be built when all of a sudden out of no where, a flash, a glare, oh it's sharp. Yep it was a dump site from around the early 1900's, and lucky me it was from the local bottling works company. It was only a few hundred yards from the actual location of our local Middle Florida Bottling Co. Well the photos explain everything, but it's the reason I have developed the never ending tingle in my fingertips each time I see any remnents of glass on the ground. So I hope everyone enjoys the post, and sorry I didn't post the pics earlier I forgot where I put them in my file.

Hey Willy, That tingle feels great don't it. It nevers goes away once you have it either. Let me know if you dig any extra ss Cokes you want to trade or sell.

I learned years ago I never want to grow up, always want to play in the dirt. Whether its digging at work or on weekends I'm hooked. It has gone as far as my wife telling me I need to start a self help foundation for "Bottle Diggers Anonymous!" I just cn't help myself!

And Warren I will keep you in mind, thanks to you both for the post.
