    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

    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?

    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...
