Antique Bottle Mine in Upper Canada

[arob]

Hello TreasureNet,

This is Arob and I was hoping maybe some of the coin shooters on here were also into privy digging, mineral prospecting and general relic hunting in neo historic locations all over North America? I like solving mysteries with my shovel.

I have been digging a century old dump on the south shore of Georgian Bay and I'm finding great stuff... My report might ignite a Bottle Rush in Meaford.

Here's a shot of last weekend's digging in our 'Antique Bottle Mine' in Upper Canada

you can read all our digging stories on our Dumpdiggers blog

Hi Arob,
Nice digs you got there. I love that Canadian Hutch. I am a metal detectorist as well as a privy digger. I have been privydigging for over a year now and I love it. You can visit my partners website and read our journals at www.privydigger.com
Keep the shovel to the soil.

Welcome to Tnet ....We have many Bottle and Privvy diggers here.
Your find is fantastic....anxious to know what else you pull out of there and some of the history if you care to share.

Okay everyone, I just posted Part Three, the exciting conclusion of Bottle Rush in Meaford on my Dumpdiggers blog at http://dumpdiggers.blogspot.com

Here I try to make each post as informative as it is entertaining.

This particular adventure series was fun to write, and I hope to bring a lot more low tech treasure hunting tales just like this your way in the coming months...

I hope this final post closes this thread properly, and serves as my letter of introduction.
