Hello, I'm new to the forums, just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm 16 y/o, I just got into bottle collecting and digging about 6 months ago and I'm really enjoying the hobby. I've got a pretty good collection going. I'm looking foward to learning and contributing as much as I can. thanks

Welcome to the forum, Ralph! So, what sort of goodies have you been collecting?

Thanks cyberdigger. I have a small collection of about 40 bottles, the newest ones from the 1940-50's and the oldest around the late 1800's. I've only found 2 bottle dumps, both ranging from the early to mid 1900's, not to old but they sure were fun to dig up! I'll post pics of my finds as soon as I get the chance.

Kid (Countrydigger), yer in for the ride of your life. Ain't a better hobby than diggin' in the dirt for old stuff. You'll meet interesting people, expand your knowledge of history, and gain a greater appreciation for the world around you. Just one request: I'll exchange my years and wisdom for your youth ... it's a good deal, I assure you! Deal?
