[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

Great finds enjoyed

[@Dasha17177]

Looks like a good tip mate, just get your shovel & go deep. Best of luck.

[@jimykay7262]

Thanks mate 👍 yeah it's a very big tip. 3 acres roughly, used from around 1907 until late 1930s

[@alexvanpletzen2786]

Good stuff mate, the Clarence is awesome for history like that. I've found heaps there

[@jimykay7262]

Thanks mate👍 appreciate you watching. That's awesome, are you from the area?

We built our first home at Lawrence back in 2017. Top spot mate 👌

All our tin here is the "Rust layer" where bottles live. About 3 years ago I found a lot of unmarked ginger beers. They all had British stamps, no dates. From all the broken Codds I was before 1893. Some Holbrooks & Leas, and a Gloucester sauce. Broken Tahiti Lemonades and Crystals, whom merged in 1894 to Consolidated Soda Water Works. 3 Codds from Los Angeles too. I was downtown under the view of condos, so had to wear overalls & hardhat authorized personnel disguise. I had fun, though no local sodas or meds.

Reminds me of a dig on a 1880's homestead... three days digging. Not a single complete bottle..

[@chrisharding693]

Great clip mate!! Hopefully the tip hasn’t already been dug and your only digging through backfill.

[@jimykay7262]

Well yes mate alot of it has been dug for many years. But they never get them all 😉

Nice work, bud

[@aceofspades7886]

edge of my seat it looks so juicy the way the tin looked layered reminded me off a bottle dump same age it was also dug by excavators in the 80 s and now it’s a place to dig I scored a rare cs and heap of inks but all gingers are smashed Some places in your hole looked not disturbed don’t give up on it must be a huge area for a town tip Punch holes in it everywhere Cheers Paul

I am a new subscriber from Texas USA 🇺🇸. I enjoyed your video . Look forward in seeing some more.

[@ISCDesignArchitect]

gee what a beautiful tip. of course the holbrooks survives but all the codds and stoneys broken. you gotta go back and dig that whole tip out..

[@justinsmythe9821]

Enough to make a grown man cry 😭

[@jimykay7262]

It is mate... imagine me digging for 5 hours for that. Haha. Anyway there is sure to be something good there. Have pulled ginger beers out of there about 10 years back. Will dig until i do. Thanks for watching mate, appreciate it..

[@justinsmythe9821]

@@jimykay7262 no worries mate... there are some great bottle digging videos out there but I always love good Aussie ones. Be persistent & good luck, I’ve been digging for 20 years now and I’m still yet to find a complete codd or ginger beer 😔

[@jimykay7262]

I have been fortunate enough to have dug several ginger beer bottles , including digging about 7 or 8 mint condition ones in the same hole on the same day. Also pulled out several mint condition codds and Chinese ginger jars . Have plenty of very good content on the way . Thanks again for watching

[@daveparnell3886]

Do you make any drinking glasses out of the broken bottles, if not shoot me a message and I can tell you how to do it with pencil polished rims. Was any of the tin old signs ? Just wondering.

[@jc2076]

Is there any reason why there is so much old tin in that tip

[@jimykay7262]

I think there was just alot of tin used at that time mate, therefore alot was also thrown out. Its like now with plastic in a way.. if theres alot in use at the time, there ends up being a lot of it in landfill at the time also.

[@jc2076]

@@jimykay7262 yeah ok I can see what your getting at but do you know for certain or not really because if not I was just trying to get answer and idea of why that's all 👍👌

[@tomfrazier1103]

Even Aussie tin shows up here too. Mostly other American though. I've a few 1920s Honolulu Iron Works magazines, and they did a publicity stunt to see which tin lasted the longest. There are some old homes out here with tin roofs. I live in an Aussie prefab that was being sold here in the 1990s as a "Tropic proof" house. Metric and some Aussie items-windows, doors &c. Most of the finish work was done by my landlord's family. Like many Americans I'm actually marginally conversant in Metric, German & Japanese autos. I have a good meter stick left over from our 1970s Metric push here. After a while the Gov't gave up, but I hear it is used in the Army mostly.

[@curtissmith5875]

Maybe you can find another better place.

[@jimykay7262]

Ill punch holes everywhere until I do mate 😂
