The bottle digging bug first bit us in the early 70’s. You might have seen us. We were the ones always armed with a shovel, 3-tined digger and a steel rod for probing. An exceptional day would be finding a couple of abandoned chicksails (o.k. outhouses) with a bounty of a molded whiskey and a bitters bottle. HINT #1--We never thought about the coins, watches and rings that had also “hit the pit”. So for the next few years that’s how we spent our weekends. But in 1974 we were struck with a moment of brilliance. Since most defunct outhouses had been filled with garbage, we purchased a metal detector to search for the oxidizing tin cans. It was a natural. We’d scan an area marking probable sites then carefully put the detector  back
in it’s case. Then one day out of sheer boredom, we started detecting the material
that had been brought up from one of the holes. Bingo, a new hobby was born. Refer
to HINT #1.Well, over two decades have passed. We’ve had lots of fun, met many "digger" friends and collected mountains of stuff. Thought it was time to share some of our experience. Who knows, you might learn a trick or two along the way. |
