Shupps Grove show?
Hi. Sorry this is probably not the right spot for this but I was wondering if anyone has confirmation that the Shupps Grove show will be going ahead. We are hoping to make it to a show and Shupps Grove seems to be the most likely option for us. Thanks Archie- waiting for codd

First pickups over here
That will be the different names our bottles have in Australia (we call ACL bottles Pyros, Drugstores chemists etc) Spun tops are hand tooled it’s just the name we give them. I have a few nice looking ones like the crown seal in the middle of this photo- waiting for codd

First bottle hunt in the USA
Finally got out for a proper bottle hunt today. Found a little tip near a creek didn’t have any tools with me but picked these 2 Morgantown cokes up and judging by the large amounts of broken quart milks there may be some good stuff. Any idea on the little White House lid thing?- waiting for codd

Bought my first two American bottles today. Probably both common as muck (being $5 for the pair) how old is the Indianapolus one? Nice spun top but I don’t have a clue on most US bottles- waiting for codd

Creek walking. Tips, tricks and LAWS

Black horse
Yes that’s a lovely beer. One sold for a little over a thousand dollars in an ABCR auction in 2011 so nowadays 3000+ would be likely. we certainly have a few nice beers over here, we have them embossed with owls, mountains, flags, horses, lions, barrels and people. Most are quite rare although...- waiting for codd

Is ‘mud treading’ commonplace in the USA?
Morgantown West Virginia. I don’t know what the mud is like over there here it tends to be deep and bottles wont move since they were discarded. From what I’ve been told there is a difference between mud-larking and mud-treading the main difference being mud treading involves finding bottles...- waiting for codd

Is ‘mud treading’ commonplace in the USA?
Hi everybody. Here in Australia we frequently do something called mud-treading. Which as the name suggests involves jumping into rivers, creeks and even the ocean and stabbing at the mud with a long specially built probe to try and find bottles. Many great things can be found this way and most...- waiting for codd
