[QUOTE="buyingtime777, post: 324338, member: 188"]I am a bottle junkie. I am a little old for privy digging but I belong to several sites where that is popular. I do not think it has a negative effect on the market. There aren't enough coming up to really do that. Ultra rare bottles don't turn up much more often in a privy pit then they do already on top of the ground. Also a lot of stuff coming out is hazy with glass sickness and can't compete with attic find bottles unless they are tumbled. One site I belong to a guy was poking around by a shed on Christmas day at his brothers Victorian home and 2 ft down there were 10 or so eagle flasks for no apparent reason. Nice ones but a bit of glass sickness. Still, what a dig!!! If you want to join an active Facebook page with a lot of drool worthy bottles constantly being shown let me know and I will give you a link. Super bunch of people but hanging out there has convinced me I need to expand my horizons out of cure and poison bottles and I am close to pulling the trigger on my first serious flask!:joyful:[/QUOTE]
