It's an addiction kinda like tattoos... I can't stop digging!
So far I have dated back to the mid 1800's.

wow great digging ,can you dig it i can
Don't guess you will tell me where you are digging?
LOL!! It's a great hobby...
Hello. My grandparents had a farm here in Minnesota. One day, a few years after they had passed, my brother and I walked the whole grove and gathered bottles dating back to probably 1920-1930's. Blue, green, amber, clear, etc. Medicine, liquor, and many other types. And a few other relics. We amassed quite a pile by the end of the day. We visited with family for quite a while and took off back home. Hours later, the inevitable conversation about who put the glass in the trunk of the car. "I thought you did" was repeated a couple of times. Not cool.
I've been back a couple of times since then and cannot locate the pile because of the size of the grove and my atrocious sense of direction. Perhaps when spring comes I'll make the trip and try again. Nothing is worse than knowing treasure is lying out there cold and lonely.
Nice collection you have, great stuff, keep digging!
Great story miike... You always have the memories! I wish you well on the revisit to find your lost treasures! I'm a true digaholic!
