What's Been Coming Out of the Ground?
I was talking to a fellow digger and collector the other day and during the conversation he mentioned "not to much coming out of the ground anymore". Har!... (as Oldcutters would say) that got me to thinking. Here's a few photo's of just a small amount of what has been dug here in the west since the first of the year. Heck this doesn't represent anywhere near what I have heard of, let alone the "secret" or "close to the vest" bottles that have been dug. Enjoy the pics!
I can think of a few more good bottles dug this year that have fallen under the radar...
There's still a decent amount of digging being done in most places I know of. Hopefully the healthy rains of 2010 will set everyone up for a fun and successful dirt-flinging Spring and Summer....
