Don't be so down on your self, some how you got in to digging firkin bottles. You'll come up with something else.
Diggers= toughness

I got into it on accident..
But I'm glad I did!

Between metal detecting, bottle digging and hiking/exploring, I'M A HAPPY CAMPER!!


And YES! We're some tough SOBs! Lol

I pitched a few box loads of bottles quite a while ago as I tried to focus on Packie style beer bottles, to most here even those are nothing they want. I like to ID them if possible if any label remains, if no label left I find period correct labels for them. These are for my own personal collection so I don't care. If I ever tried to sell them I'd list them as such. It's also the reason I keep most beer/soda bottle slicks. Even the Packie bottles are not that easy to come by it seams lately, even when I find them it's only a few and it keeps the amount of bottles I bring home no where near what I brought home when getting started collecting. Even on my yesterdays dig I brought home stuff I normally wouldn't mainly because I didn't find any of the bottle types I wanted, and only one Owens made soda/mixer bottle that dates during prohibition.

What is "Packie" style?

I'm off tomorrow, I'm on my way to drop off some beer bottles to be painted.
It just so happens I have to drop them off at a bar. Remember you don't have to drink to have a good time.
RIGHT!!!!!

For a serious "Yeee hawwww", you need some drinks.

To me it's about being away from B.S. I'm not looking for a particular thing. If I find something I like I bring it home clean it up, keep it or bring it back and pitch in a different area. I'm lucky to have a daughter that likes looking them up and knows she's going to have to deal with
them.
