Hey Guys: Wow what a awesome hunt you had.Hope you keep sharing your great videos.Look forward to your next one

we divide the bottles up with the landowner - the ones valued at more that $200. are placed up for auction and the revenue is split between the diggers and the landowner. Many of the bottles we didnt want were carefully placed back in the hole for future generations of diggers. Personally, I only kept about 50 of the 2000 or so that were dug. We also usually donate a good number to the local historical societies of where we dig.

How about a high definition slideshow of the finds (and the club members}? Some of these seem so pretty they might make decent 13 x 19 posters. A note about cleaning & handling and refining digging techniques for max recovery would be interesting too. There a lot in common with mineral & gem diggers too, as far as archaeologic type systematic excavations.

good ideas - i will have to work on that.

thx

I think I've asked this before, but what do you do with the bottles once you have them? Awesome! I feel I am there with you all. Keep 'em comin'!
