Wanna Know More?
We've
only touched on a couple of the many many aspects of Bottle Collecting.
I have found hunting and collecting bottles to be a very entertaining and
interesting hobby. One of the most rewarding parts of bottle collecting
is "the hunt". Finding your first bottle gives you such a feeling
of accomplishment that I'm sure you'll be hooked, just like I was. If you're
interested in hunting and collecting bottles, there are plenty of books
at your local library to that will give you more information on how to
identify and price bottles. To find places to look for old bottles you
should try asking some of your older relatives (grandparents, great aunts,
etc.) where they used to throw their trash when they were younger. Go to
the local court house and find records on old homesteads. Be sure to get
permission from the the land owners before digging on their property. Once
you find an area you want to search, it's a good idea to rent or purchase
a metal detector to locate underground garbage dumps and start digging.
Besides
the local library , you can also find books and magazines at bookstores.
There are also lots of clubs and antique organizations. And if you're looking
for information about bottle collecting on the internet, try these links;
I hope you have found this article about Bottle Collecting informative
and appealing. Give this hobby a try. I think you'll like it!
Happy Hunting!!
