OK, I've been collecting bottles since I could lick the dirt off my dad's knees without bending down.. had a few very fun and exciting digging adventures, a few very productive spots.. brought home a few thousand bottles.. back when I had lots of free time and a small set of expenditures.
Now I'm married, life is a LOT more expensive, especially in NJ, and I have a career that USUALLY keeps me as busy as I can handle. I've gotten pickier about what types of bottles I look to add to the horde, and the condition they're in, so now I just buy them, if the price is right (in most cases) ..I'm staring at my 2 latest ebay gleanings that just arrived today.. 2 attic mint Long Branch blobs I mean MINT!!! bottles.. soon they will be shelved and replace 2 sick ones I dug up years ago.. 2 more LB bottlers to scratch of the "need one list".. this is just the way to go now.. I miss digging sometimes, and I'll get out there again once in a while, but taking time off work isn't too practical, and coming home with a bucket full sick common bottles just doesn't do it for me any more.
Your secret digging spots are safe from me.. you might have some competition at the fleas, the antique stores, and the bay, though.. []
