Weekend finds. Dug & purchased

[Dannyrgardner]

Just wanted to say I'm still digging and I'm glad to say you are having luck

Great, Danny! Sounds like it's in your blood! I want to say to you, use the resources this forum offers. There are many links to soda and cola bottles, which like me, you find a lot of. Leave the blank ACL sodas and the broke ones behind, or in the creek and learn how to clean the good ones without damaging the labels. Then start a collection of your nice finds. Don't worry about values , if you find them, like them, then cherish them. I kept $2 bottles in 1990's ,people laughed, now they are $20-30 now. Keep a log and inventory of your finds. Join a local bottle club , it may be a state club, and later start your own. Visit local bottle shows and the antique malls, and check out the history, prices and learn as much as possible! Last of all, if bottles, digging, and hunting, is your passion now, include your family, because having them involved with your passion, will benefit your relationship with them. Rick

I have to comment about how many people are either scared of or don't like Clowns. I'm purely middle of the road, neither like nor dislike them. I just find in amusing. Jim

My brother hates clowns he used to run when we was young . later in life he made the wrong choice and spent about 14 yrs in jail. He traded a cigarette for a tattoo of a huge clown on his arm to try and overcome the fear but he said now he still can't look at his arm lol. That's a true story he said he should have smoked it. Ha ha

that clown may be the one on the howdy Doody show from the 1950s Clarabelle .

 

[CreekWalker]

Great comments. He does look like Clarabelle. The crazy clown slasher movies ruined the image of the funny clown! Our local favorite in the 1960's was Bozo, who started off with a little hat, but ditched it early in his TV show.

Found this one at work I don't know much about cans but its old

 

[cowseatmaize]

I don't recall Clarabelle ever wearing a hat but the reruns were old by the time I watched them..

 

[CreekWalker]

Nice can, Danny! Leon and spirit bear left info on the cleaning forum. The results for rusty cans are amazing!
