[@steviet9452]

Just a swift one to say keep going! I also enjoyed hunting bottles in my youth and the nicer ones i always flogged at carboots for £1-5 the blue ones were peoples favourites.

Your little poison shaped like a perfume is an iodine bottle, come in all colours

[@danielfeeney8620]

great finds buddy whats your cleaning tips , do you use any chemicals ?

[@DiscoverWithSean]

Thanks mate. No chemicals, just a long soak for a few days in soapy water & then shake em' up with grit 👍

[@PetertheBeeandFriends]

Hi Sean great vid. That little brown bottle with the screw cap towards the end probably said Gilby, Famous distillers of gin. All the best.

Maybe my question will get answered in the video. I'm only at the beginning, but my first thought was how do you know where to dig for the bottles? Do you just find a spot and start digging or do you have to do a little research first?

[@DiscoverWithSean]

These are old bottle dumps, which are fairly common around the country & easy to spot if you look for the signs or consult old maps. Once you've found one, it's just a matter of figuring out where the site starts and ends 🙂

In Australia 🇦🇺 it’s always hard ground 😂we don’t get the rain ☔️ like the uk ,if I can dig a bottle or three I go home lol 😂 it’s rock solid and wrist jarring on the fork 🎉

[@westcountrymudlarks]

Great video Sean love the tiny poision iodine bottle lovely big lysol, some great bottles . Just found your channel and have subscribed .

[@DiscoverWithSean]

Thank you 🙂

[@diggershane9236]

Like your videos mate keep up the good work 💪🏻

[@DiscoverWithSean]

Thanks dude, right back at you! 👌

Get yourself some secateurs, they might help in removing those annoying smaller roots . Also a three pronged Scratcher tool will speed up extraction of bottles . Using a spade or fork always gives a risk of cracking or smashing bottles . Even though your not using a fork . People that go at it hard in bottle dumps with those , give me a heart attack every time they stab the ash Another Hobnail Lysol , great find . 😂 OMG I been digging my 1932 tip years and never seen a Glimmer of a Codd . They supposed to have them until the 20's / 30 but rarely seen in later tips . Unnless it's a late throwaway , but the kids still smashed it anyway 😥 Always great to find a nice Biig Bovril Jar . The 16oZ is a great find . Bovrils are great for dating tips . Your looking at V Early 30's That is a very big Amber Lysol indeed . The full embossing and crosshatch . Sometimes the have Marshall on them , great score ! Danger ! Poisionous Perfume 😆 never seen one that small before And another lovely two colour glazed jar . I only have one it 1890's and has a hairline crack in it . That could be older for sure .

[@ericalbany]

The poison/perfume bottle probably was for iodine.

[@ericalbany]

It wasn't for tooth powder, it was a powdered mouthwash

[@duncanculver9370]

The coin is French,Napoleon 111,1800's

[@DiscoverWithSean]

This one had me stumped, so that's a nice surprise. Thanks for the info 😊

[@josef-michaelvonbapschmier7513]

Good Job, enjoyed this video thanks

[@DiscoverWithSean]

Good to hear, thanks! 👍

[@DMC8707]

Milk jar have embossed called QS, that person in past have name in Q.S as full name. That why the women would fight over make up is there’s. That why name on stuff to let other know who’s stuff. 😊

[@DiscoverWithSean]

Are you pulling my leg? 😂 In any case, that's a better explanation than mine

[@DMC8707]

@@DiscoverWithSean haha. Yes because women always fight over their stuff like not want steal or took as think its their. So that why name on it so let anyone know who’s owner that. That old history. But your funny. Yeah you need to more research find why name on stuff or some of embossed on glass because of which type belong to doctor or bar, or medicine store that people buy and use for save people get sick come from. That why lot of them died because of some medicine not help. So that why people need to say thank you to technology that help improved save people get sick from sick. History always changed but people is not changed. But people are wise to find way to solved by that help medicine plants that god giving to people than use chemical products medicine, you know all the stories. Sorry make bit long comment. 🙂😁
