I enjoyed this video Willie and Sarah. The only thing missing was Jack Spaniels and his antics. Loved the collaboration with Kate and Fleur. The giant clamshell is amazing. You and Sarah are very talented and well matched. You make a handsome couple. I envy you. Greetings from eastern North Carolina. Take care and stay dirty...in a clean sort of way. 😁

[@kathieprater2431]

Willie, Sarah, Fleur and Kate! How marvelous!

[@ellenflanery3363]

I appreciate that Willie always fills in his holes. A real professional! ♥

[@fairyacorn4854]

So do I and my other half did too.

[@diannmcdonald4949]

Thank you for sharing another entertaining video Willie. Wonderful finds and you were in great company with all the ladies. Fabulous job on the cut down. Looking forward to the next one. Have a great week and keep safe! 😊🇨🇦

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Dianne - always encouraging, kind words from you! Always appreciated too. Willie 🙂

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Ellen - it wouldn't feel right to leave big holes on our digs. I didn't realise that some people didn't fill them in when I started - it honestly didn't occur to me. Willie 🙂

[@wildlifeathome]

@@dirtysecretsofscotland I think most people like to see the holes filled in, with maybe a small spoils pile left behind for non-diggers. It's one reason Willie is one of the only diggers I watch, the other reason is he is great fun!

[@bonnerdebbie]

I always like it when Sarah is along, and to add to that you had K & C with you too! Thanks Willie! Great cut down. I am so glad Sarah was there to watch out for you, that was a DEEP hole!

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Debbie! Always fun having Sarah along, but unfortunately she doesn't always have the time, with her own channel. There is a new project brewing though... No spoilers just yet..! Willie 🙂

[@FLSueL]

Well that was great fun. I really enjoyed seeing Sarah on the dig and knowing she was there to make sure you stayed safe. You both ended up with some good finds. I can't believe you finally found a stopper that fit your bottle warmer. So cool! It's really a pretty one too. It was nice seeing Kate & Fleur as well. I hope you remembered to bring all that spongeware you've been saving for them. 😉 Great job on the Codd cut down, it came out great. 👏😊

[@saramorgan6638]

I really like when Sara comes along! Fun video-it was like two worlds colliding to see you and Kit & Caboodle together!

[@sarahwyss7374]

Glad you got to spend time with those fab mudlarks.

[@sherryh4578]

Enjoyed your support role in this video! Got to see the treasures faster! Enjoy you and Willie!!

[@mimimitch327]

I loved it as always!!!! Thanks for taking us along! ❤❤❤🎉

[@59tante]

Wow!

[@BMW7series251]

Brilliant video Willie. Great to see Sarah & K&C's on the channel. All the best, John.

[@marydegenkolb9603]

Sarah, I bet the large ink well is cut rock crystal, not glass. And that is why its so heavy. Willie, to clean the rusty looking stains off the inside of the bottles, you can use bird grit for budgies, with baking soda. It's just abrasive enough to clean but not scratch. One of the bottle guys here in USA uses it. What's nice is the grit can be reused!

[@northernerinnc3179]

Surprise beginning! especially since I had read that there would be no video from Fleur and Kate..... fun! Thank you Willy for emphasizing safety---

[@johnnabuzby6103]

There will be a video from K & C. They posted a message about their new video being delayed until tomorrow due to Kate feeling under the weather. Greetings from New Bern, North Carolina, in Craven County.

[@kristinhaislett9365]

All my favorite people together in one fantastic video! Thanks, loved the clam shell.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Kristin - glad you enjoyed it. That clam shell is now on our fireplace! Willie 🙂

[@dawnhaynes7784]

That was amazing hey everyone

[@guadalupeknippen528]

Willie, a man of so many talents. The cut down of the bottle was amazing and it shows how much time and talent it takes to do these projects.

[@bouncerslabrealnature9143]

🎶🕺...👍 Enjoyed as always.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Glad you enjoyed it. Willie 🙂

[@colombecouture7974]

Wow! What a great job on cutting that bottle. I love how it turned out.

[@deborahcampbell7178]

Another great video Willie and Sarah being along was fun. It was nice of you to have Fleur and Kate along too . I've watched all of your videos from day one and they get better week after week. I can't wait until next week , see you then. Deborah

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Deborah - that's so kind. Very happy that you think we're improving - the opposite would not be ideal! Some more belters in next week's episode! Willie 🙂

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thanks.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

You're welcome Anna. 🙂

[@oceanluvngal]

This was a fun video. Love the pumpkin and coffin flasks, the UV glass stopper, doll arm, ginger beer fragments. Already excited to see what else will be found on future digs at this site.

[@woolaminajunkjournals]

Nice job on the cut down!

[@christinewilkinson3772]

I like when Sarah goes with you and she cleans em up and you keep a diggin!

[@janecroft4896]

Very glad Sarah was with you Willie, that hole was too deep😱! The shell was beautiful and so was the uranium glass.❤️

[@christhompson4270]

Thank you for filling in your holes Willie your saving a lot of broken bones. Awesome finds from all of you. The cut down turned out beautiful. Take care and thank you for sharing 🙏👍❤️

[@ShirleyWhite-rc6je]

That was a nice bottle you found. Thank for sharing your video with us all. Well I hope you had a wonderful 👍 time. Your friend Shirley from new Bern, north Carolina USA.❤❤🎉😮🎉😅😊

[@SaltwaterSean]

Just finished watching the whole video. Really enjoyed 😊

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it! Willie 🙂

[@cynthiabruns7178]

The rim on the bottle you cut down looks as though it was made that way, very professional job.

[@iainweller452]

Fab episode, so many broken ginger beer bottles, great job on that bottle cut down so smooth.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Iain. I was pleased with how the cut-down came out! Willie 🙂

[@fairyacorn4854]

I just love the bloopers as I have said before but some nice bits and always love a dolls arm Sarah. Gosh what a deep hole you dug that day just as well your Sarah was there to keep an eye on you. Stay safe and K & C was hoping for a video from you two tonight.

[@lisapeters4394]

Such an enjoyable video. Beautiful finds. Your dance was cute. Thanks for sharing.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Lisa - glad you enjoyed the episode and the boogying! A pleasure to share! Willie 🙂

[@jeannienash5249]

Sarah those are beautiful tiles

[@beekind9832]

Oh my gosh I’m so excited!!! Some of my favorite people all together. This is awesome.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks - very encouraging words, as always from you. Willie 🙂

[@catherinewilliams3850]

Great video, to see Kit and Caboodlers joining you, some lovely finds, fantastic job on the cut down bottle , that's a lot of work.

[@susanraynor56]

What a Megga hole you dug Willy, loved the programme. Nice to see Kit and Kate up in Scotland with you. Love to you all. Sue, Nantwich Cheshire.

[@iansuehooper7542]

Fun collaboration with some lovely people Willie. Besides all those wonderful f8nds you dig up, your drone photography is excellent and your guitar music, very catching. You bring enjoyable entertainment.

[@robertabessey7990]

You are always so genuine and hard working. Enjoy your videos very much. It's awesome that you always fill your holes back in. It was a wonderful round up. Thanks for sharing.

[@williamthomson638]

I love that you play your music. It is so lovely to listen to. It's beautiful. Patty 😊

[@japhyryder66]

Another great video! They bring me such joy. Thank you Willie, Sarah (my daughter is Sarah as well so I’m partial to Sarahs), and Kit and Caboodlers!

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Dana. Glad you enjoyed it! Sarah says 'hi Sarah!'. Willie 🙂

[@richardcampbell5784]

Quite amazing & hearing you talking from the hole was really weird 😀

[@guadalupeknippen528]

Amazing that Willie actually knows the science to filling in a deep hole. Willie is also in great shape to be able to dig that very deep hole. Nice bottle were found today. Great video nice to see the lovely Sarah 🥰🌻🐕🇺🇸

[@sf55514]

Very good. Tell Kit and Caboodlers to post a new video!

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks. And they are - tomorrow. 🙂

[@johnnabuzby6103]

Kate is under the weather so their video is delayed, they posted a message to that effect.

[@joclothier5536]

Hi there you two. If you can make sure that your tiles are frost proof for ever using outside. The reason I have for saying this is because back in the early seventies I made a tile topped table to use in the garden.I used old fireplace tiles,not realising that they weren’t frost proof.!!! Alas,come springtime my great table was no more.It had shattered in to many,many pieces.!!!!!!! As always,love from Jo. xxxxxxx

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Oh no! How upsetting! We're not planning to use this table outside though, so it should be fine. Take care. Willie 🙂

[@Christine_J]

What a fun day! Great finds… someday I would love to travel to your part of the world and get dirty with y’all, and Kate & Fleur!

[@59tante]

Double bonus...kit and caboodlers

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Was such fun! 🙂

[@linzertube]

I can’t believe that you threw that big brick out on your shovel!😂 What a workout 🏋🏻‍♀️! Great day of finds! As always, the little ceramic inks and blacking bottles are my faves. I suppose that you and Sarah gave the little doll bowl you found this day (along with all the sponge-ware pieces you’ve found in previous digs) to Fleur & Kate on their channel…I’ll have to look out for it.

[@wildlifeathome]

My favorite miniature mudlarkers and my favorite digger/painter/musician duo in one video, actually two, I just watched the other one! I'm always amazed at how deep the tips are, and then I remember that our modern dump is a small mountain, called appropriately, Coffin Butte.

[@tanagerbirder]

Willie did a fantastic job on my broken Codd bottle. It's a very rare one and very pleased that Willie was able to rescue it.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

A pleasure Steve. Thanks for trusting me with your Codd. I’m thrilled that you’re happy with the job I did. Willie 🙂

[@eleanorlaurent2303]

I really enjoyed Rainy Day Creations in this episode. I've been wondering about the cut-down process. Also, thanks for the introduction to Kit & Caboodlers, they found great stuff.

[@gebswife]

The little ceramic thing that may be a candle snifter would make a lovely cake or jello mold for Kit and Caboodlers miniatures! If you’d like to give them another gift.🤣love you guys!~Tennessee Nana

[@LeapingLeapords]

Wonderful finds and the cut down was awesome 😊

[@lucyb15]

there are such things as tile saws that could spruce the broken ones. Most tilers have them, not an expensive tool.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Lucy. I have one - I use it for my bottle cut-downs. I’m trying to use complete tiles for this project. It’ll all make sense soon. 🙂

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Wow ! Awesome as always !! 👍👍⛏⛏

[@alisonlyons4691]

Ooh what a lot of great finds. Love how pro Willie is in the way he digs a hole, I'm sure Jack would make a good job too 😄 Smashing video and nice to see Kit and Caboodlers joining you.....Alioban

[@carolbulmer8253]

That was fun to watch. Thank you😊

[@hazel3564]

I love it when Sarah is along for the dig! You two are so great together. The cod bottle glass is amazing, as usual your talent is unsurpassed. Already looking forward to next week’s video.

[@luciapelser6458]

Hi Willie... I watched a bottle digger from America. He use a tarp to pile the dug up soil. When done he simply empty the tarp in the hole to make his filling faster...

[@leanneh5293]

Wow Willie I bet you ached after that dig didn't you? Some good finds! Cracking vid again! ☺️☺️

[@daviemcf]

Great video,that was some hole that Willie dug.

[@jeanettenicholas2863]

Hope you had a lovely birthday will love watching you good luck

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Jeanette! Willie 🙂

[@phylliscook5594]

Another fun dig, love all the finds, missed Jack Spaniels though. ; )

[@adamssecretgarden]

that hole was way to deep for my liking lol... nice video xxx

[@Kazza_8240]

This was a fun video, although digging that deep hole looked like hard work. I've just started watching Kit and Caboodlers on KZbin last week, so it was funny to see them turn up in this video! I would use a bed warmer lol, if it was whole and had a lid that fit, I love a hot water bottle, not an electric blanket....you can't move away from that to escape the heat if you get too warm lol. I loved that clam shell! I don't blame you at all for liking that, I think I'd use it as a bowl as well, I'd have loved to have seen it cleaned up. Thanks for another belter video 🤗....time to see what Sarah's been up to 😁

[@digi6256]

It’s a brilliant idea for the two of you at the dig. It’s funny and really entertaining. Thank you guys, lots of hugs - Dana

Hi just come across from K&K to visit after watching your hosting of Kate and Fleur, and so glad to find some 'larkers' who are new to me. You really do have access to some fantastic finds and I love your energy. So this will be the first of many visits I hope!

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks very much for your kind, supportive words. Very glad you could join us on this adventure and hope you can join us for many more! Willie 🙂

Take the slightly broken tile, you can cut it to fill in bits

[@joanhannah8062]

He.lo, just watched this video…great fun…thanks….love old bottles and things myself, but don’t go hunting for them, except maybe the odd car boot…thanks again. Joan x

[@lydiaross2554]

Willie, Next time you dig a deep hole in search of treasures you should wear a headlamp. Headlamps are great tools around the house and I am sure for digging big, deep holes.

[@piratepete842]

The clam shell likely originated in the Pacific islands,perhaps Indonesia..probably a souvenir brought back from a visit

Crikey Willie I don't even dig holes that deep at work! Unfortunately only thing we find are old bricks and rocks 🤔 I thought you had met Kit & Caboodlers before, which was how I found your channel, but looking back through your videos it was Northern Mudlarks

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Hi Brett - yeah, it was the deepest I've dug down yet. The problem with this tip is that its pretty much all been dug - it's a well known tip... So you need to dig deeper than the last person was prepared to go. Yes - the first collaboration we did was Northern Mudlarks - they pretty much helped launch the channel. I'll always be thankful of that. Willie 🙂

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thank you for the apology - we are really glad to have you back on board. It was a bit hurtful to see your other comment, as we would never want to be seen as pressurising anyone to give more than they can afford. However, we do work incredibly hard on this channel and there are people who are in a position to support us, through Etsy, Kofi or Patreon. Those links are there so that people know what options they have. Watching, liking & commenting on our videos regularly are all fantastic ways to support us too and we really appreciate that 😀👍 Willie, Sarah & Jack x

Have you ever done mosaic table tops or garden pots? A friend of mine takes interesting broken bits and glues them to pots or other surfaces, then grouts them to make decorative items. She particularly like bits of painted china and tiles. Ok, this might be a stupid question, but for safety's sake wouldn't it be wise to rope Willie's waist and drive a heavy stake outside the hole so he could pull himself out if the walls began to collapse? 🤷
