    Anyone seen this listing?

    I've found so many of these digging dumps. They went over my right shoulder as fast as they came out. Never paid attention to the colors.
    Is this real?

    I agree! Someone will probably offer them half and end up getting it.
    I might need to head back to the dump fields if that one sells.

    Some Ebay sellers will try anything. Maybe they are hoping that a novice collector with more money than brains will come along. You know the old saying- "There's a sucker born every minute".

    I kid you not, I saw a 1971 D half dollar listed on ebay today for 1.50 plus 3.00 shipping!

    I used to sort through the early seventies and look for errors, but quickly gave up on the 1971 D because there are just TOO many in each box.

    No Bids. The guy only has a feadback number 4. Only 1 sale over 2 years ago. http://myworld.ebay.com/hilferenterprises/
    I wouldnt buy anything from this beginner seller until he develops some history.
    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.

    you till it seems you could not hold on a minute longer,
    never give up then for that is just the place and time that

    I agree to a point. $5ea. on a good day just isn't enough to junk up the house or even clean. I know places where you can pick up hundreds of early ABM bottles, but, where you gonna put'em for 25 yrs.? I see your point on the dumps though.

    I keep all of these!

    To me?Alot! That thing took some time to find. I ended up getting 3 but this was the only full one. I was new to bottle digging and was throwing broke in-situ ones to the side-until fellow vet digger came over. Too late. Scattered and covered up for eternity. Not sure about the $.
    Here's my prize-Not gonna clean this one yet. It's signed on the handle too.

    Soon! I have a new site that's late 18's-untouched! And yes it's near crawford co. for all you jug folks. It's about an acre in size-hopefully real deep.
