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 hunting Iowa sites early in spring of 2010 and heading to
Montana and Nevada to spend the summer hunting ghost town sites. **
