Surf,...Great info as always! Way to clarify my muddled thoughts.
Jim,...just as an interesting aside, I found this little tidbit amongst the info on the Bennington Vt. historic web site. So I guess that spells out how they might feel about bottle diggers....[8|]
Archeological Resources
Many of Bennington's industries, commercial ventures, public buildings and farms were abandoned when they lost their economic and social viability. The ruins and buried remains of these buildings with their associated features and deposits -- kilns, wells, dumps, outhouses and outbuildings -- have become part of Bennington's historic archeological heritage.
That's weird, don't know how to make of that, I always kinda worry about attracting suspicion when I go bottle huntin, Kinda surprised I haven't. I'll go almost anywhere, I'm not disrespectful though, I just don't start digging in someones back yard or cause damage to property or anything stupid like that, I can be a be a bit of an animal though when looking for old stuff, I may walk briefly through yards to avoid massive prickers or a part of the stream I cant navigate with out getting soaked, I move thorough as fast as I can to a distance from the property. as long as it'[s not marked "No trespassing" or right in a back yard, it's open game to me.
