What was that first bottle you found that got you hooked?

Thanks for explaining the flounder gig. Maybe we have a catfish gig here.

A flounder gig is a straight pole about 4' long with a pointed steel rod in the end about 8 or 10 inches long. Much like a probe. You walk along the beach at night, with a lantern at low tide, and gig flounders with it. You can pick up soft shell crabs at the same time. Man those crabs are good fried. It ain't no frog gig ya'll[][][]

Thanks, Marvin

Hey Zane, Ohio is East Noreast of me![] The steaks would be a done deal! The whiskey would be too as long as you didn't try to post something on this forum afterwards. HEE HEE.

Davis Vegetable was the first bottle I fell in love with !!
Very common I know but I still love any bottle with a " Davis " lip. Also no matter how many I dig I cant get myself to part with them. I enjoy comparing the differences between them !!! 8 MORE WEEKS TO HEAVEN GUYS !!! Best of luck to all !!!!!!!

The first corker I dug was when I was around seven yrs. old and if my parents ever knew I was digging in a pile of rusty cans and broken glass they would have grounded me for life. This neurosine bottle could have alot to do with my bottle addiction although it wasnt until my late 20s that I started getting serious about old bottles. Heres the neurosine bottle I found when I was seven, after all these years I still have it.

Heres a bottle that really started getting my bottle blood flowing. I found this one in my late 20s and my collection grew from there.
