Thank you for another amazing video! And for the great article "In the Witness Protection Program" in the latest Antique Bottle & Glass Collector Magazine, . For those who don't know, this is the official publication of the Federation of Historical Bottle Collectors (FOHBC). The Old Dirt Slinger writes articles in the AB&GC about his digging exploits with lots of photos of his finds. Thank you, Old Dirt Slinger!
No, thank YOU for the extremely generous accolades and shout-out! So glad you enjoy the videos and especially my stories. Every time I see one in print I have to pinch myself to be sure it's real! It's like Christmas morning when I was a kid, all giddy with excitement. Thanks again!
Thanks! I can count on one hand with a finger or thumb left over the number of hutches I dug while living out west. Some areas are just tougher to find them! Partly (mostly?) why I retired to the mid-west! Better glass digging opportunities.
That's what I thought, at least for the first dozen! After that, #50 was pretty Ho-Hum! Still, if ya gotta have a record, this was a pretty cool bottle to do it with! Just wish I found more diversity in size or style.
It's in reference to the last book by Johnnie Fletcher, Oklahoma digger extraordinaire who sadly passed away 2 years ago. Titled, Missouri Bottles, Crock Jugs, & Dose Glasses (2018) He also wrote several other books beginning with his home state Oklahoma, then Kansas and Arkansas. They are the gold standard for many of the midwest bottles found. I suspect all are out of print as he did this for love of the game, not the $. Rare is the bottle show where one of his books can't be found.

Dean, Foster & Dawley......I think.
YUP, you are spot on...
Hey Slinger, what is this "Johnny's" bottle book that you keep referring to?
