Hello all, I'm new to the forum and overall new to the bottle digging scene. I've always been a history buff, love vintage and antiques, have a huge fascination for old glass. After 10 years of being together, smack him upside the head, my husband finally figured out the latter part and says to me one day a few weeks ago, "Oh, you like that stuff? I know a spot in the woods where there's glass bottles everywhere!" So he takes me up to his hunting spot and sure enough, it's an old farm dump. Hellooooo newfound addiction! It's a treasure hunt!
Fast forward to a few weeks later, I don't know that we've exhausted the site, but he's called a halt to our adventures due to not wanting to disturb the deer any more than we already have. Hunting season is just around the corner and we need the meat to fill our freezer for the year.
That said, I'm sitting here twitching, especially after going to our first bottle show yesterday and seeing all the cool stuff people have found. The things we've found at our site mostly have been nothing special. Way too many ketchup bottles, baby food jars, medicine bottles, so many broken mason jars I could cry (a broken SCA one!!), and lots of tops to gallon and half gallon jugs, ouch. You name it, we probably found broken pieces. But since you just never know what you might find, I want to keep on searching. I love a good treasure hunt.
What I'm looking for, well we because hubby is pretty into it to (and so are the kids to a point), is someone to give us some pointers with this, maybe help us find some new sites or point us in the direction of finding sites, accompany us if you don't mind tons of questions!
If anyone out there is interesting in helping us out, shoot me a PM. We're in the Berks County area, willing to travel.
Thanks!
