It's been about two months. Spent every day for two weeks going through the bottle barn and junk accumulated over forty years of digging and pack ratting. I must have 30 boxes and buckets of bottles needing washing and sorting. Just not enough time to dig, and wash , and sort. I'll try to add some pics later of some of this junk. Got to get out and do some digging. Tried to keep up with the post, but when you fall behind it's almost impossible.

In the spring when the farmers till up the fields, digging a bottle is the furthest thing from my mind! I get flint fever and go walk miles upon miles in search of paleo and archaic artifacts. When you're finding things that were made thousands of years ago, a hundred and fifty year old bottle seems pretty new! LOL. Now when there is a good constuction site opened up and I'm pulling out nice stuff I can hardly sleep at night for wanting to get right back out there and dig. Sometimes I'll get to the dig site too early and have to wait for daylight! I guess it just depends on what's out there calling me to Come and Get It! ;) Chris

There has gotta be some bottles somewhere, but I do hear from other diggers that it is very tough going to find a bottle in Florida... I'd be getting a scuba tank...
