    been a little under the weather but got out to some farm dumps I thought I had cleaned out. Went back with a metal detector to find any hidden areas I missed, and sure enough, came up with a couple oldies in a new and older section I had missed. They came up minty fresh too...no ash in a 1 ft...

    Here is one I have always dreamed about owning....

    A CARTER'S CATHEDRAL STYLE MASTER INK (1910-1920). As far as I am concerned, this is one of the sweetest master ink bottles out there.

    This is a local poison from Manchester, NH. After Researching this bottle, I have found that one of the streets (Wayne) no longer exists...and this specific druggist was only in business for like 5 years. So far this bottle is the only one that exists as far as I know. Any more information would...

    Did a little country scouting...

    Got out early this morning for some country scouting. Found a few different era farm dumps and then stumbled on a school dump. By the looks of the shards on top, It was 1870's-1890's era. I scratched around and pulled out tons of inkwell shards as well as some others....the only thing I scored...

    I salute you Mr. Bottle Digging Man (please read and reply)

    At a time when bottle digging is fading and metal detecting reins supreme...we as bottle diggers stay the course. We use probes, shovels and scratchers to find concentrations of old trash. We dig through lung contaminating ash, asbestos, and decomposed waste in search of that rare bottle worth...
