Where should I dig?

29 of these little guys. 3 piece mild and a tooled lip. I am guessing tablet bottles. No embossing except maybe a number on the bottom.

More slicks save for the Carter's ink embossed on the bottom.

All in all, a fun day.

looks like a good time was had by all! I really wish my dad would take me digging though!

My dad is the one that got me started. We used to hunt around in some old farm dumps for whatever we could find to take home. He was/is not much of a collector, but did have a few bottles and some insulators. Best I can tell, I seriously started collecting both bottles and insulators about the age of 11. We used to go to the flea market and I would buy almost any old bottle I saw. About the age of 13 or 14 I met a couple collectors and Dad started taking me to bottle and insulator shows. Balto., York, Allentown, Maryland line, etc. This got me really hooked and into better insulators and bottles. I have not done much with insulators for a number of years. Still buy if something comes along, though. And 3 years ago I took Josh to Balto. It was just as I remember it from the last time I was there - probably around 1995 to 1997. Dad's not much for digging. Never was much, but he would drive me places. I am glad some of my kids are interested. I don't make them go. But they and Jessie dug most of this pit. I just stood in the shade, looked at the finds as they were passed up, and pulled a bucket from time to time. Yeah.... Good Times!
