We'll I'am 25, my wife thinks I'am a three year old because I love to play in the dirt.I have been collecting bottles for about ten years. I started out exploring old mines and found bottles with the original labels and then I started meeting other diggers and was taught how to probe. I was hooked for life.

Hi Zydeco! That far back! Wow, the 70's are like a dream. I remember Laws and all the great times we had there. Your bottle was, and still is, a bargain. Haven't seen many around! I wish I was still up there in Virginia. I could take you to an area where they were dug, but it would take a while to find it because the community has grown - I think the old dump site is still there, though.

Good to see you!

Hi all,
Ive been collecting bottles for as long as i can remember, my father & Grandfather began collecting in the 70's. I was bought up in an area of New Zealand that was famous for its goldrushes in the 1860's. Im 24 now & my earliest memories are going out looking for old camp sites, digging old house sites etc.I still actively collect, and go looking every chance I get.

Cheers Aerated!

G'Day everyone. I may as well throw in my 2 bobs worth as well. I'm 46 for another few months, then I suddenly become a year older. Sigh.
I started collecting in the early 70s in Geraldton Western Australia. I was 13 when I started rummaging around in the dirt. My interests turned to girls and surfing a couple of years later and I sold my collection (much to my regret. I think I needed a new surfboard or something).
I now live in Townsville Queensland and 3 years ago the bottle bug got me by the throat again. Not many places to dig here so I tend to play on eBay a lot.

I forgot.....But I know GB=LTD x S&P....... (Good Bottles =Lotsa' Time Digging x Sweat combined with Perseverence.)

But it don't take no genius to figure that out, does it?

O.K. I've watched everone else post, I've been holding out I guess, 49 years and 10 months, Been digging/collecting for about the last seven, living near New Orleans I wish I would had started a lot earlier but I have done very well for my short span of digging. Hi Oldtimer, I guess anyone who has searched for old bottles, or metal detected sure can relate to your post, I know I can, and I bet a lotta other folks can too.
