Hi New Digger here in Maine Oxford County. Just started digging on my property coming up with all kinds of old bottles, Metal rim wood spoked wheels and early 1900 auto parts like doors and such. Have no idea if any of this stuff is worth anything and would like to know the best way for me to learn about it. And what books you all would think would be best for a new comer.
