I recently went to a yard sale and discovered the property owner was a veteran digger who had over 5,000 bottles once. He had sold all of them, but said to come back tomorrow and he'd bring what he had left. He was a little hard to understand, and I did make out "Avon" which got me depressed. Well, I eventually made it back, and it was quite a surprise! After looking through mostly commons (but a few nice ones!) I offered him $100 which he accepted.
He also took me to the abandoned house next door which he owned. The basement was full of fruit jars, but nothing worth more than $1-2. I did like the looks of that crawl space though...
