Etiquette for diggin church dump

[capsoda]

My wife says digging for bottles is the perfect way to celebrate an anniversary too.[] She lives to dig.[8D]

I was once Catholic, and I think you're covered pretty well by simply getting permission. All I would be careful about is anything that looks like it actually was used on the altar, gold or silver plated stuff, and any stuff with actual parishner's names or pictures on it (like wedding, funeral, or school stuff that the person's family might want). I doubt you'll find anything like that, and if you do, just show it to the priest & ask flat out if you can have it or if the church wants to keep it. I really don't think you'll have a problem. Wow, what a site! I don't dig, but I'd start for a dump like that! []

Well now Pat, you just come on down and I'll teach you how to dig and get you SHOVEL QUALIFIED. [sm=lol.gif] I can qualify anyone, the Air Force qualified me. []

Lisa, one thing is forbidden at church site, NO SWEARING, no matter how nice the bottle is that you broke haha, so like a good site, have fun

Cool patch Warren! But...um...why did the Air Force want you to dig up guns? Are the pilots like squirrels, burying their weapons & then forgetting where?[8D]

Na, shoveled spent brass into cans, airial gunner AC-130 gunship. I did shovel for myself on off time.

Thanks for all the great replies. Hopefully I find some really neat things. I plan on going tonight. My son promised me a camera lesson hopefully I'll have pictures to post tomorrow. I'll have to take duck tape with me to tape my mouth shut to keep from swearing if I break that once in a lifetime never seen before bottle. There are some steep spots on this hillside so I guess I'd better take a line to tie to a tree. I appreciate the advise on the alter stuff ect... If I come across anything like that i'll put together some kind of a shadow box and donate it to the church and if they don't want it I'll donate it to the Historical Society (of course I'll wait until I have plucked the last glimmering jewel from the ground). Cross your fingers I can get the camera thing right.

cb0023,

Since I'm a girl I think I'm safe. But I'll warn my son & my honey. (Just kidding no disrespect intended)
