When I was a kid I wanted to be a paleontologist. I knew every dinosaur in every book I read by its scientific name and I took great pride in being able to pronounce them correctly. Flash forward to a few years later. All that information lay dormant until earlier this week. I was hunting and just about tripped over some old bottles. Suddenly the desire to dig up old things came rushing back. I'm already hooked on this; what other hobby would let me uncover the past, but hardly leave my own backyard? So I'm new and learning, and I want to get things together. I suppose my question is: what tools are useful to the new bottle collector? I know I need a probe and a shovel, but from there I'm pretty lost.
Also, how do you find a decent dig site? I hardly think the parents would approve of me digging in their sandy (probably bottle-less) back yard, and my college home is in a big city.
