25 years and Beginners Luck.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I couldnt help feeling that POP was right there over my shoulder. He had a fondness for antiques and I still have a couple pieces from his estate. While digging it I really didnt have time to think about it. Now days later the emotion of it has kind of settled in. I rarely get worked up about digging stuff....(cept the time I kissed a historical flask I had just pulled from the ground....but that is another story). But although it wasnt the haul I was hopping for the bottles we did dig mean so much more. I just cant believe I walked over this pit a million times.....I think Rick is right....it just was meant to be.

I believe its all meant to be... Someone else could of dug there and put a shovel right through that ink, instead it was waiting for you...
