Additional Comments: (Note: Do not mention your race, marital status, etc… Limit comments to digging and detecting!): I'm brand new to this. I've been collecting bricks for a few years and slowly starting to collect bottles I stumble across. Have done little digging. Would like to eventually get into metal detecting but haven't purchased one yet.

Additional Comments: (Note: Do not mention your race, marital status, etc… Limit comments to digging, detecting, magnet fishing!):
I have been metal detecting for about 3 years, and have just recently discovered bottle digging. My favorite part of bottle digging (besides finding the object!) is looking up the history of the object/local area/date. I have a Facebook page that I just created that showcases some of my finds: https://www.facebook.com/My-Bottle-Collecting-Hobby-112423387180980/?view_public_for=112423387180980
