Since becoming obsessed with glass, I've found myself thinking of all of the sparse land around us as untouched goldmines (especially since I'm pretty close to Valley Forge). Every area I pass, I think "glass glass glass glass "where's the hole" glass glass glass."

Is this a disease? Does every digger think this way? [:D]

Hahaha I can't help but drive through a town and start looking at the houses thinking that one looks pontil age. Then wondering what the backyard looks like and is it dig-able. Or I pull in a parking lot and notice a round sink near the back of the lot and think I bet thats a privy. Before I know it i'm standing next to said sink looking around thinking is there any way we could dig this thing lol. Its a sickness it has to be hahaha

Dam I know there's good bottles there.. It's like drugs your always looking for the next fix.. It can cause major home problems sometimes to.. the guy have heard the one sidde conversation only a few more feet n were done. promise to be home soon.. then day turns to night night turns to the next day.. and so on!!!

The phone rings at mid night hey we need a pump for this wett hole can you come?? diease yes additction is more the word for it!! It's the rush the the chase of digging something thats ben hidden for over 100 years bringing it to light and saying wow check it out !!!

I find myself thinking it quite often... In GR, 75% of houses are Victorian or earlier... Mostly this means 1906-1910 or so, but of course there are a LOT of older houses here. Whenever I have a specific objective in an area of town I haven't seen a million times, the first thing I do is guess about the age of the house... Sometimes I'll say to myself "Gee, this looks really old! I'll have to do some research on it." And often I do. So many places to dig, so little time... [:mad:]
