Actually,southern Cal.My perference is fruit and mason jars,but a person wouldn't be able to tell by my collection.My job takes me all over So.Cal.so I.m always exploring new shops.I find all kinds of glass.I rarely spend more then$10.00-$15.00 on a bottle,but when I see something "interesting" I'll research and usually go back and diccer.I've got to tell you though,after being part of this forum I've been doing some research on some possible digging!

i need a good dig in a thrift shop soon, i'm starting to go through withdrawals
I check craigslist periodically. It's paid off once, I got a Placerville hutch that was advertised on there for a decent price. Yesterday I found an ad for Sacramento, 200 bottles, 200 dollars! He described the collection by saying he's weeded it out and what's left is the good stuff. Must buy "all or none". I went to his house and found nothing but modern day garbage! Looks like he found a 1970's dump and he thought he hit the mother-lode. That one didn't pay off. Anyway, my point is, check craigslist, sometimes you get lucky.
