The questions of how old and what gender everyone is have been asked, how about what everyone does? What does everyone do besides Amateur Archeology? For the record, I’m a mechanical engineer, 27, and a guy.

Oh well...

I'm a 44 year old Civil servant in Canada. I'm a Processing Analyst for the Provincial government...translation ---> Mainframe Computer Operator.

Further translation --> Troubleshooting baby-sitter.

Some day I hope to grow up and retire on my childrens' salaries. [8D] 'Till then, I watch the grass grow, listen to my kids ask for a pool, grow vegetables and collect, collect, collect.

For the past 13 years, I've worked as a Customer Service Rep for a small bank in Pa. Before that, I was a hair stylist for almost 9 years. My interest in bottles goes back to when is was a child. My friend and I found an old dump one day while exploring in the woods. I guess we were around 11 or 12, we carried so many bottles home that day. I think I still have most of them.[:D]

I've probably mentioned this before, but I'm a 47 year old Home Health RN. I get to travel the back roads (read "dirt roads") of southern central Alabama. Haven't had the pleasure and excitement of digging anything yet but I'm making a list of abandoned homes everywhere I go. I'll find out who owns the property and write a letter! Love this site, everybody's so friendly and helpful.[:D]

I am an 18 year old male (trapped in this 57 year old body...let me out...I want to be free!!!), and sell gimgaks, thigamabobs, do dads, don't dads, and doohickeys to people wanting their automobiles to run or keep running...in other words an auto parts salesman/assistant manager. (And no you can't have my price for your car parts...)...I work parttime (45 to 50 hours a week) and spend the rest of the time trying to memorize my 13 and 1/3 grandchildren's names and ages, and rummaging thru boxes of old bottles at yard sales and antique and what not stores and digging in good old Mother Earth for any treasures she might care to reveal to me...in my spare time I read Sci-Fi (thank goodness for Robert A. Heinlein!) and watch the Seattle Mariners go down the toilet this year!

I'm a 25 year old bloke and a showjumper (mostly [;)] ), I ride horses, cart grain and hay and do whatever needs doing around here (alway's a bit more than I have time to do). I go digging and detecting whenever and where ever I can and buy as many Codd bottles (marble bottles) as I can [:D] .
Hard life hey [;)] [:D] .
