Default I dig antique bottles in Upper Canada!

Hello TQ,

My name is Rob Campbell and I write a treasure hunting blog called Dumpdiggers that chronicles the adventures of low tech treasure hunters that unearth antiques and collectibles in century old 'forgotten' heritage sites.

I live in Ontario Canada and I primarily dig glass bottles in hundred and fifty year old dumps in and around Toronto.

Here is a fine story that I call An Urban Gulch

In another example, The Quest in Campbellford, myself and compatriots unearth the relics imaged below.

Well, someone involved in two of my favorite interests has to be a great person! We'll have to talk word-smithing and beekeeping sometime. Welcome to TQ!
