My Pet Peeves with the Bottle Hobby

[ktbi]

May not agree with you, but everyone knows what you mean when you describe a bottle as mint. I always liked the term 'just missed being pontil!'. Do he mean the guy holding the rod had bad aim, or maybe the bottle isn't as old as he wanted. I agree with an earlier posted who advised you to over describe. BTW NYDigger, I've been doing this 40+ years and I would listen to you all day. You have a mountain of knowledge that I just don't have. keep it up. Ron

NyDigger1 (Mike) might be a young guy, but he is certainly doing a very historically honorable thing. Something to be said for a man his age putting together a database or catalog of blobs from the largest city in America! I am a local history nut myself, but sure as hell wasn't at his age. When I was his age I was in college and running the streets of NYC. Never thought about history let alone bottles. Been digging for 15+ years now back here in PA. Only got hard core on the locals the last 6 or 7 years. I do have the largest local collection known. Have dug most, bought some, been gifted a few, and even been death bed gifted an only one known because folks have recognized my passion for locals and preserving local history.

I sold a bizarre NYC blob to Mike before I realized his passion for his locals. I will be sending him another at no charge soon. Give the guy a break and help him out with the good deed he is doing. We were all his age once.

PD
