You're the quintessential bottle digger lending grace to a frequently misunderstood hobby. Humanity is measured not by how we react under pressure (Sorry Hemingway) but how we interact with one another barometrically.

Thanks, Cord. I would honestly rather dig an 1840s pit with everything broken or damaged than an 1890s pit with a few "high dollar" bottles intact. I would certainly enjoy the good 1890s bottles (and I dig plenty of 90s pits), but that period in Lewistown's history is much better-documented than the middle nineteenth century is, so the early pit would be much more valuable from my perspective.

I have to laugh when well-meaning but uninformed people ask me "How much money do you make at this?". It's irritating, but I politely inform them that I run a business to pay the bills, and it has nothing to do with bottles or digging holes. ~Jim
