GHOST TOWNS WANTED
BUY, LEASE, OR CONTRACT TO SEARCH HISTORIC SITES FOR LOCATION AND RECOVERY OF BOTTLES AND OTHER HISTORIC ARTIFACTS. WE USE HIGH TECH ELECTROMAGNETIC IMAGING EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURED BY ACCURATE LOCATORShttp://www.accuratelocators.com/BottleFever.html OF GOLD HILL, OREGON AND PAHRUMP, NEVADA.
This site is hosted by James Campiglia of Bozeman, Montana and Reg Shoeman of Madrid, Iowa. We are both long time bottle diggers and collectors. James is also author of the "OFFICIAL U. S. CASINO CHIP PRICE GUIDE.
We use a "RUNABOUT" electromagnetic imaging device to find small variations in the electromagnetic field of the earth. Object buried in the ground due to human activity such as brick, pottery shards, iron objects, etc. cause the local magnetic field of the earth to change. Very small changes in this field are easily analyzed by the equipment. The laptop computer display is a 10 color readout. Large iron objects buried such as an old cast iron cook stove would tend to show a red "anomaly" indicating a relatively large variation in the earths field. Crossing over a long forgotten Chinese opium den the display would probably show a dark blue indicating a very low magnetic field due to the large void.
With an 8 foot antenna mounted on a vehicle we are able to survey a field at speeds in excess of 20 miles an hour! Or, in more confined areas, the antenna can be pushed with a cart. We are able to locate old outhouse pits, wells, and filled in cellars that hold great potential for hiding historic and valuable artifacts. I have located plastic water pipes and clay tiles used to drain farm land, these passed under the highway and were located at speeds in excess of 50 miles an hour!
Livery stables, Saloons, Boarding Houses, Hotels, Fair Grounds, Ferry Landings, Stage Stops, and other high traffic areas are prime spots to search for bottles, jugs, and other items.
If you own such an area, especially in IOWA or MONTANA and the other Western states, please contact us about the possibility of conducting a digging expedition to your historic site.
WE ALSO BUY ANTIQUE BOTTLES ESPECIALLY WESTERN ITEMS

** We will be adding more pictures, write ups, and some actual "Runabout" scans of the sites we will be hunting. This year, rather than the cornfields of Iowa, we are headed to dig the Gold Fields of MONTANA! Not to dig for gold this time, but to dig the dumps, privies, wells, and the cellars of those early pioneers! ** .
