I decided to come on and say hi after a nice phone chat with Charlie (Cyberdigger). I'm glad you called us. I'm still alive, obviously.[:D] It's been a busy, weird Summer. I hope all of my great bottle friends are well. Maybe I'll post some of my latest pictures soon. We may have a lead on...
We went digging for leeks yesterday. These are also known as wild ramps. These are very early because of the warm weather. But, the garlic in my garden is up, so I figured the leeks would be too. Wild leeks have a very strong onion/garlic flavor. Kids used to get sent home from school for...
Hello, everyone. I would like to sell this Fred D Alling ink. This is a bottle I dug. It is in great shape, with no cracks, chips. it's mint. Please PM me if you are interested or have any questions. Thanks for looking.
This is carried over from Rick's bottle show video thread. Since we're talking about our favorite pizza, I thought, "Why not start a thread with some of our favorite places to eat?" It can be your town, a city you've lived in, or just one you visited. First up, one of my all time favs. Five...
Thanks Cows (Eric), for the cool ink for my university desk! It totally slipped my mind at the time, to mention that KTBI had sent me two lovely inks as well, for the desk. I thank you both! Now, I can switch it up and display all three. I'll get some pics for you all soon. I'm guess I...
I can't find the thread where everyone states what bottles they are looking for. Well, I've had friends kindly looking for this bottle for me for a long time now, as I collect baby meds. It's a Dr. Kopp's Baby's Friend Sample. If anyone comes across one, please let me know. What do they...
"I assume he was selling it,
Of course it is wrong to dig up Native American burial sites, or distribute or take meth!! Associating relic hunters with it is wrong too. I just keep seeing more and more articles, calling metal detecting and bottle digging "looting". Wow.
Here is what the...
Our neighbors occupy the historic, 1860 Job Moses house. You can do a search on Job Moses, his discovery of oil and his patent medicine business (there is a Job Moses bottle). I'm not sure if he had any other bottles. We had always wanted to ask for permission to dig the privy. I do not know...
I'm forcing some blooms (lilac and apple). I'm looking for some more crocks and bottles around the house to put them in. First up, lilacs. They're coming along great, and it's so easy to get them to bloom!
Agency Johnston's Swiss Style Milk Chocolate Creams In Gold Boxes Only. We were just pondering over this sign that Joe dug in our first under the drugstore dig. I love it! I'm trying to find out more about it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Mike sent this awesome ink the other day. It has amber swirls in the neck and is just beautiful. It is a great addition to my growing ink collection. Thank you, Mike!
We've discussed the show before. The show and this petition are stupid, imo. Which is worse, the show or archaeologists beins so adamant against us digging up stuff they usually don't even care about? See the link they have to the show's description.
Today we had rain, sun, rain, snow, sun, rain, snow... you get it. Then, in the middle of it all, this appeared (no double rainbows though, dude [:D]):
Woke up this morning and the top of this bird feeder was torn off. I thought it might be a raccoon, but Joe thought it might be a bear because whatever it was had to be really strong to get the top off.
Tonight, I saw something out there and we turned on the lights. This guy had birdseed...
Very cool site: http://odysseysvirtualmuseum.com/ Which artifact is your favorite? I thought I recognized some of these items. It turns out we have the book, "Bottles From the Deep", which has lots of pictures and basic info on many different types of bottles. Enjoy.
Darn, I wish we had this show in America! Maybe the American History channel will start airing it. How many in the UK are watching it? It looks like you can watch episodes on the site. Super cool.
