Speaking of arrowheads (and bottles), there's no telling what's gonna turn up after all these cataclysmic flood waters recede. Might be a silver lining to this mess after all.

Good point sandchip! I will be headed to Texas for Columbus day weekend and will have to check out a couple known sites. Yesterday I dug a piece of Payne's celery compound bottle. Slow going but at least it's something.

Hood's Sarsaparilla , Paine's Celery Compound, Electric Bitters and Hostetters Stomach Bitters bottles were among the first bottles I ever dug (that got me interested in bottles) in 1969 when I was 15. What really did it for me, though, was a weirdly shaped one called Bartlett's Dressing. Still at it all these years later.

Oh nice! Those were some good bottles to get started on. I started when I was about 12 years old when my little brother and I dug a privy that was filled between 1950-1975. Had to abandon the hole because it got so deep and unsafe. I doubt today's trash will ever be anyone's treasure.
