Much more than eBay scavengers who hunt relics for profit, most Dumpdiggers are dedicated research historians committed to recovering and preserving their community's forgotten heritage. They're storytellers with a thirst for knowledge. Dumpdiggers are time travelers with spade shovels.What do they do?
Dumpdiggers use old maps, metal detectors, privy rods and garden forks to unearth early American antique glass bottles, insulators, arrowheads and old coins. They love salt glazed stoneware, pottery, jugs and crocks, enameled cups, porcelain, Civil War era relics and old coins, buttons, toys and tools. They meet here to discuss torpedo bottles, saloon pipes, sodas, bitters, whiskey, gingerbeer, medicine, and cobalt blue poison bottles.
Every digger worth his salt has found stoneware in a farm dump, or poked about for insulators in a railroad dump, or unearthed horseshoes and broken blacksmith tools in a town dump, or probed and dug a brickliner in the backyard of a century old tavern.
