My son's about to go off to college and we never dug together once. So glad you could get your son interested. Don't ever waste a chance like that, because you'll be looking back like me wondering why things turned out just like in that Harry Chapin song "Cat's in the Cradle"...[:(]

Great to see a future botter collector. Hope Kileigh can come to the Harrisonburg Bottle Show in April so I can see his finds from his first dig! John

Don't think he will make Baltimore but I will be there. I guarantee you will see him and his bottles at the Harrisonburg show in April. We cleaned some of the bottles yesterday from our dig together. Great fun to a usually boring task. Thanks John.

Dale, the weather was a little iffy so mom didn't dress him for digging. She just sort of came by to show him what I was doing. That's why the clean clothes and no gloves at first. When he saw his dad digging, there was no stopping him. We plan to dig again this Saturday. We are already planning our stradegy.

That's terrific! The only digging I did with my dad was to plant tulips or something. What's his name and did he get that little one I think I see in pic 4?

Eric, here is Kileigh digging that little bottle you spoke of ]Kileigh's 1st Dig[/URL]. This is my 1st attempt at video so hope it works.

Well, that didn't work. Who can tell me how to post a movie on here? I have already downloaded the movie to Photo bucket. I thought that I had the right link, but I guess not. Now I need to figure out how to get it on here.

Dan,

You had better clean off a shelf for the little guys bottles. He's learning how to dig from one of the best!

Congrats, Twig.
