This is Anthony {Alabottledigger} our new diggin buddy.

This is Anthony's Magnolia tree. We probed all around and no luck.

Biggest Magnolia tree I have ever seen. Was planted by Anthony's ancestors around 1840. This thing is massive.

Since we weren't having any luck we went to an old dump. I opened up a hole and this is my best diggin buddy and wife Cindy going after those hidden treasures while I feed the local saber toothed mosquitos.

As you can see by the look on new diggin buddies face we weren't having much luck. He found a few whole Durkee's and both diggin buddies found an abundance of broken soda bottles from the late 1800s to 1920. I cried over the sodas and fed the mosquitos.

The find of the day.......Well I found it at the flea market later in the day but I talked the guy down fron $45 to $20. I'm such a tight wad. An early 1900s SS Coca Cola bottle from Mobile Al.

Oh....and did I mention that I fed the mosquitos. I'm just nice like that.[:)]
