Default Hmm 1 hobby to the next?

Well today started out cool, damp, and unfortunatley Windy. My son was off today as was I so we decided a trip was in order. I decided we would go try a diff spot (I guess its that the grass is always greener on the other side?) deal so off we go. We find a few good places but the wind would make a bee line to my ears which wasn't gonna fly with me we get in and get ready to leave town when I see an old graveyard that ends toward the back of the woods. I figured why not drive thourgh and see how old the graves are. Well just as we were getting to the back of the graveyard I noticed a dirt road that lead though the woods. Rounding the corner I noticed that things were being pushed in what looked like the last week or so further into the swamp. Wesley says lets stop and look and I figured well since its cold Mama snake will probably not be around so I park and we walk. Walking through what seemed to be a trashy piece of property I couldn't help but think to myself "These were some sure enough pigs that lived here" however; when we walked to the edge of the swamp I saw a blue bottle. Heart pumping I see that this was not a trashy old homestead but what was in fact the old town dump. Bottles were everywhere we pulled up 37 bottles I don't think folks around here collect not for that many to be laying in view.
After a few hours of walking the swamps looking we ran across a mound with a jar or two and I noticed a test tube sticking halfway up.pulling it up I notices a brown bottle cork looking type and a small bottle of acid about 2 in tall that was really awesome, but what I seen next was even cooler to me. There under thae acid bottle was a tiny clear bottle about 1/2 in long and no bigger around than a #2 pencil. Its not a new style perfume sample thingy but when I saw it my 1st thoughts was maybe a old pill bottle?.
Well anyhow benna hecka of a day and I gotta borrow my pops camera again and I will take some pics.
