      Hey Danny...well the Lord bless you brother! Yea, its really hard to believe I'm 63. I just dont FEEL that old (well, ok...sometimes I feel like that old..haha)...it just doesnt seem like it was that long ago when I dug that POND'S BITTERS bottle back in 1971. We all have to live each day to the fullest and enjoy the blessings that God brings into our lives. Thanks Danny...😀

      Aww thanks so much Laurel. We just never want to be "show offs", if you know what I mean? Truly, I feel blessed to have been fortunate enough to have been in on some of the best privy digging of the 1970s,80s and 90s. The Lord protected Paul and I through many dangerous nights of digging in downtown St.Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, Cincinnati, etc. I tried to always keep back at least one or two good bottles from every good dig...so stay tuned....God bless you!😀

I don’t see this as you showing off, I see it as you’re continuing on with my bottle lessons. Thanks teacher! Lol. Some of these I’ve never even head of. Before watching you, I knew about the Mason Jars. Ball Mason? I may have heard about them. Not sure. Loved hearing about your 1st Bitters bottle. The way it came back to you…. You were meant to have that bottle. So cool. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see the next batch of bottles you show us.

    Happy Birthday Dave !! It's always nice when others share what is near and dear to them My most treasured bottle is one that my father in law gave many years ago He's no longer with us and his last years where battling dementia but he still loved to look at any new bottle I would buy for my collection
    Great video !

    First let me say , Happy Birthday 😊 I hope you had a wonderful day.
    Your kitchen window bottles are so pretty. 🥰 I just love the unique shapes and colors, but especially the cobalt. Fit me it’s not how much it’s worth it’s how much does it make me happy to look at it? I haven’t gone digging ever I guess because my husband is not interested in it and I don’t want to go by myself.
    I can’t wait to see what else you have!! Lots of hard work, for sure.

    • @diggerdaveshovelinshelleyb8057
      @diggerdaveshovelinshelleyb8057  Рік тому

      Thank you so much! The colors of those hand blown bottles are amazing when you see them in the sunlight. It doesnt seem like I've been digging that long but I guess the years have sure gone by. As I always say, we cant take this stuff with us when we die, so as temporary caretakers of a few old glass bottles and trinkets, I trust that the Lord will use them for His glory somehow. You would be welcome to go digging with Shelley and me...drop us a note at digrdaveb@aol.com😀

    You have a great collection of bottles that you have dug over the years! If you ever get the chance there is a little place/museum in Nauvoo Ill. that we came across a couple years ago. They had some nice bottles on display there! One that grabbed my attention was a pontiled cobalt Keokuk soda and several historicals. One of the historicals was a beautiful eagle flask in light powder blue! I think the place is called the Nauvoo Seventies Hall and it's on the LDS property. Thanks for all the videos!!

    @gailforro3525 Рік тому

    Very enjoyable, hope to see more of the same. I wish other diggers would be willing to display some of their favorites. I think it helps the hobby to get people excited about what kind of stuff is out there to be found. also the stories of how and where they came into your collection adds greatly to the interest and excitement. It stirs a lot of old memories from my bottle digging days back in Savannah, Ga. I've still got most of my collection. It's just so hard to part with items you know you will probably never own again.

    I'm 1 town south Of grand rapids Michigan near kalamazoo. I have that same bottle with the inhaler tubes that you showed here.. Mine however has no embossing, But I thought it was interesting that yours is Imbossed with a town 40 minutes away from me..
    I'm new to your channel but enjoying the videos.
