Walt Bannon, one of Maine’s most notorious bottle diggers, shares the zany and often danger-filled predicaments he’s found himself in one too many times. His near scrapes with the law-combined with insanely ridiculous situations-are humorously exposed in this enjoyable book about his antique bottle collecting adventures. You’ll learn how he quickly amassed an admirable collection of old glass treasures, but better still, you’ll learn from his experiences and mistakes how not to build a collection of antique bottles. If you’re already a digger of these old gems, you’ll certainly relate to the borderline and perilous aspects of this hobby. However, if you’re just curious about Walt’s passion for the hunt of these treasures that secretly lie beneath the ground your feet tread upon every day, this book will pleasantly enlighten you.
