How old are you ????

[baltbottles]

Well I'm 23. I've been digging and collecting since i was 11 and hope to keep it up until the day i die. I do it for both the love of history and the early handmade glass but i would not trade all the great friends i've made in the process for anything.

I agree with Brian. It's good to see young ones interested in a part of history of our great world. I wish I had started when I was a young... err ... YOUNGER man.

Julie I bet there is a lot of GREAT finds waiting for you there. And the beauty is you don't have to get the land owners permission![] Post some pictures of your finds if you can. One thing is for sure, we all love to look at our fellow members finds! Good luck and Happy Diggin!

Kal Welcome to the Forum. You keep checkin in with us when you go back to school.[] And keep goin out with your Mum. I bet she'll have you hooked in no time! I wish I had the opportunity to to prospect a little. Not to much gold here on the Staked Plains of Texas[] Happy Birthday next month. We will be sharing one together! Kelley

Hi Kal, welcome to the forum! I'm the guy in Maine your mum sent the Champion Vinegar bottle to. The day it arrived we had snow, did you see the picture I posted? I am still trying to come up with something from here in the States that would be unusual to find where you live. Your mum won't give me any ideas, how about you? What could I send back in appreciation for the great bottle and the expense (wow! Kim! $37.00 au?!), your mum spent to send me the bottle. I was going to send the snowman, but I'm afraid he wouldn't fare to well on the trip[]. Then I thought a Moose would be a good idea, but I think a croc would likely get him. hmmmm, what could I send?

I am a young and energetic 61. I have not been actively collecting bottles at all but have had some real treasures come my way. My dad and my grandfather on my mothers side were in pharmacy and collected some real nice stuff, most of which went bye-bye at an estate auction in '99. There were dozens of LUG (label under glass) apothecary jars and a coke bottle some of you guys would have cried over. Circa < 1910 from Denver CO. KE

HA! I'm the youngest one here by far [] I'm 25 and been collecting as long as I can remember (only been collecting bottles 8 or 10 years though).

It looks like we've been beaten in the youngest department since your post... []

I'm 25 and have only discovered an interest in bottle collecting in the last few months.

I live in Atlantic Canada, and as far as specific interests go, all I know is that I like coloured glass. I have a lot of reading and learning to do!
