How did i miss this!! What a belter of a dig. Especially Iains finger dancing with your belter dance!! Iain is a joy to watch. Ty for bringing him along.

[@cassiepinkerton9400]

What great finds Willie. The bottle repair restoration is fantastic very hard to tell old from new. Very talented both you and Sarah.

[@richardcampbell5784]

That hole had to be really deep to pull out Aussie bottles😀

[@juneyshu6197]

🤣

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Ha! Nice work Richard! Love the ol' 'digging to Australia' jibe. My gran used to say that to me when I was digging giant holes in her potato patch. Which reminds me... When I was a toddler, my grandad told me off for digging a hole in his flower bed... he went indoors and came back out 10 minutes later and I'd dug another hole..! He apparently started to tell me off again, but I halted him in his tracks and said 'Grandad, stop! This isn't a whole hole - it's only half a hole'! Much hilarity ensued! Willie :)

[@AvalonDreamz]

Geeze you have no idea how glad I am that this channel exists after dealing with the insanity of a stressful day! 🥴 Thank You!

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Avalon - that's a really lovely comment to receive. Very happy that our videos helped you get over a stressful day. This channel is and always will be geared towards fun, just as much as it is towards history and finds. A pleasure. Willie :)

[@SammiWhizzme]

As an Adelaide girl I loved Bruce the Emu interview. The accent was hilarious. He was rather well spoken too.

[@linzertube]

Crazy-big hole dug this day, Willie! The emu wine bottle was certainly a stunner, as well as the wee poisons! Fantastic repair on the Ginger beer…my favourite of the day!

[@noraleestone2859]

That was a lot of fun, and a real bonanza! 😁 I loved how Iain's accent made it sound like he was calling you "Wally" 🤣🤣 His belter boogie needs work, of course, but I'm sure you can help him. 😂 I especially enjoy your restoration work. You do such a superb job that I wish other mudlarks and bottle diggers would try doing it as well. 😍 My favourite from this expedition is the Rose's Lime Juice bottle. ❤ See you next time. 😊👍

[@colleenmccarthy-evans3149]

Ahhh, so great. Love how the buddy system took you both to new heights (or rather, depths...) 😊Bruce gave a great interview and as always, your restoration was su-perb!

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Colleen. It certainly worked out well. Hoping to get back to this tip with Iain soon. Glad you liked seeing the repair job. Willie :)

[@tammaragill9347]

Another phenomenon video Rock! Thanks for going in over your head to bring us some laughter 😃

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Tammara. Glad you enjoyed another adventure! I think my mum is gonna get mad when she sees how deep I dug in this one! Was great fun though! Willie (Rock) ;)

[@carollewis2232]

I’m from Adelaide Sth Australia, and I hadn’t heard of Emu wines! Thank you for educating me!👏👏👍🇦🇺

[@guadalupeknippen528]

Your finds are lovely. The tile with the boat on and the Emu bottle are fantastic! I'm amazed at the depth of your dugout hole. You must have been really sore the next day. Enjoyed your friend, seems to be a nice fellow. Congratulations Willie 👍👏🎉🌻🐕🇺🇸

[@melindakapp5838]

Willie! Willie! ure amazingly zany and so "full of it" that it is a joy to watch ur amazing shows! Dont change anything! Be ur amazing self! ALWAYS!

[@bonnerdebbie]

Great video, you are right that was a huge haul, thanks to Iain for keeping you safe , Bruce for his interview and you are becoming and expert restorer. Thanks so much.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Debbie - as always with your comments - a joy to read! Thanks for your encouragement. Willie :)

[@deniseview4253]

As a teen I baby sat for our neighbor the husband is from Scotland. So use to the accents. Even his niece that would visit we understood. :)

[@alanatolstad4824]

I always ponder the little girls who lose their dolly, accidentally, or maliciously.---My favorite of this dig was that milk-glass bottle.---Great fun Fellas! Let's do it again!

[@eleanorlaurent2303]

You crack me up every week Willie. And I never believe that the paint colors on your repairs are going to work, until suddenly they do!

[@goodpeople5676]

Awesome findings, really enjoyed and love your DIY . With love from SAM Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥

[@diannmcdonald4949]

Wonderful video and some amazing finds. Really enjoy your new interview segment. Makes me laugh but still very informative. Nice to see friends enjoying the day together. Have a great week and keep safe.❤️🇨🇦

[@OzzieJayne]

What a fab dig! Your repairs are magic to watch. Well done on the Aussie accent, too, Bruce 😂

[@teeteepalooza]

8:10 💪🏼 ha! 24:18 😳 🤭 28:24 “it’s affected by gravity” 🤔 crazy haul & excellent restoration. loved the interview with bruce 😂

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Ha! Yup - I forgot I'd said that and I did smile when I came to edit the video. I do say some nonsense in these videos! Glad you enjoyed the video and all its elements. Willie :)

[@hazel3564]

Emu bottle, one of the coolest bottles I’ve ever seen on any channel!

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Hi Hazel - it's a stunner! Felt very lucky to find it! Now in pride of place in my living room display. Willie :)

[@MaryABaker-rd3mm]

Willie you are a wonder! That Ginger Beer bottle looks like new! Great job! That was a fantastic dig!I loved watching you boys find your treasures. Congratulations! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤

[@alisonhobson9875]

Who's a clever boy then? Great repair on the Ginger Bottle, Willie.

[@christinekeay8456]

Perfect repair on that Edinburgh ginger and you got such a good colour match

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Christine. Chuffed with how it came out. Willie 🙂

[@beckyjo8745]

Some beautiful finds!!! I love that EMU bottle!!! Tiny colbolt is so cute any tiny bottle I love!!! That flatback poison so cute to!! Congrats on all the amazing finds!!! BEAUTIFUL repair on that ginger beer!!! Wow!!! Blew my mind !!!

[@lindacarlton2467]

Hi Willie, what a fantastic dig so many superb finds I think my favourites have to be the tiny flat back hob nail poison and the emu wine bottle which is a stunning shade of Amber,I absolutely adore Amber glass especially when the sun is shining through it. You really are so lucky on your digs though I think most people would have given up before reaching the depth you did before finding the real treasure level. Keep on digging and keep being lucky my friend, best wishes.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Linda - they're 2 of my favourites from this dig too. Amber glass is so underrated I think. Some of my absolute favourite bottles are amber. Did you get a chance to see Episode 77 - 'Stunning And Super Rare'? That's possibly my best ever glass bottle and it's a very rare local amber bottle. Lights up the room when you hold it up to the sun! You know what - I think that's exactly what did happen on this dig - the previous digger gave up before they hit proper 'pay dirt'! Definitely keeping on digging - more treasures coming soon... Willie :)

[@lynnegunn3478]

You are a dear man Willie, I so enjoy your vlogs. Thank you

[@lincruise5275]

Lain was spook good and hilarious ! Will follow his clogs xx

[@amandabell8827]

That was fun! The interview is so funny 😂 Great finds, love the ginger. You would never think it had been broken! 😃💗 x

[@gypsycatharina]

Great finds, love them all. Love from RINI 🍀

[@richardserridge2767]

The design on that ginger beer is amazing! Looked like a fun dig and good exercise 😂

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

It is, right! So intricate. I'm glad the almost complete one came up, otherwise I would've really struggled to build up the previous one - also - the design would've been so hard to get right. Was definitely a fun dig! Willie :)

[@wendyagrey8768]

Sometimes when we get too excited we can fall and not always forward. I've had my moments. Remember it comes with age, lol. Don't worry there will be more but keep on 💃 dancing. Great find, that ginger beer. Worth the fall. Thanks.

[@j.k.rector9818]

You are a an amazing ceramic repairer and such a positive person - that was an amazing dig, by the way! Love the Emu and the red vase.

[@deborahcampbell7178]

Another great video Willie they get better week after week . I'm sorry about the Queen she was a beautiful woman and everyone loved her even here in the states. I know that it was a shock to all . Take care, I can't wait until next week .

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Deborah - really encouraging to hear that you think the videos are improving - always good to hear the most recent work is better than before. And thanks for your kind words about our Queen. You take care too. See you next week! Willie :)

[@danielsmith2797]

Um I wonder if the red vase might be from Ruskin pottery? Cheers Dan 🇦🇺

A blimmin good dig and if I was your mum I would be shocked to see how far you dug down. Glad you had a friend with you just in case of a cave in. Wonderful finds though I love them all.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 Definitely a lot of work digging this big and deep hole but obviously worth the effort. Great finds. Congrats for another bucket list ginger beer. By the way: Great restoration! Congrats again! Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.

We sure did! Willie :)

[@kathya9522]

That was quite a nice dig, Willie. It was great meeting Iain, and Bruce gave us some interesting info. Neat restoration on the Ginger Beer, too.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Kathy - that’s a lovely comment to read! Iain's a good lad! That Bruce is trouble though..! Willie :)

[@JJ-qu2xg]

Great video Willie. I love watching some great finds again tonight. Really enjoy rainy day creations your fantastic at restoring things giving them new life and a pleasure to look at and admire decades after being thrown away. I often wonder what the people of those times would think if they saw their decarded bottles and things gracing the selves of our houses in the 21st century. Looking forward to the next video.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks - I also regularly think that! They'd be baffled if they saw my mantle piece all covered in 'trash'! Glad you enjoyed the video. Willie :)

[@eavesdroppin1]

Beautiful finds and excellent restoration!

[@malinda8668]

Can we call that one dance the Belter Bottom Boogie? Well....perhaps not. Great ginger beer and, as per usual, great restoration!

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Ha! We certainly can Malinda! Thanks - was a challenge, this one. Happy with how it came out though! Willie :)

[@northernerinnc3179]

28:24 Is it a flower arrangement "frog" I wonder? They were put in the bottom of the vase and stems were put in them so that the flowers or branches would stand upright in the vase.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Good shout! Could very well be that! Willie :)

[@janetwalshadams]

That hole was basically a mosh pit with all the belters 😅

[@nancywentzell3708]

What a great find the Emu bottle. Your channel is so fun.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Nancy - glad you're enjoying the channel! The Emu is a belter! Willie :)

[@christinewilkinson3772]

What a great dig! Very nice repair as always!

[@FLSueL]

That was so much fun. It was nice to meet Iain too. My favorites are the tiny flat back green poison bottle and Iain's cream pot. However, there were so many other wonderful finds as well. The restoration of you ginger beer bottle was fantastic, well done! The interview was epic. 😆 You bring such joy, thank you so much. 😉

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Sue - always really lovely to read your comments! Iain is a great guy. I'm going digging with him again soon - so you'll be seeing him again in the coming weeks (we work a few videos ahead). Glad you enjoyed the resto and the daft interview! Happy that we bring a wee bit of happy to you. Willie :)

[@abigailhowes5944]

With your belter boogie with the poison bottle.....you kind of look like you enbibed in the poison and it had an effect on you, especially when you fell in the hole earlier. Lol! I do love the fun you have and your utter and complete joy you have when you find a favorite find!

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Ha! I agree - I am quite a loon on these videos - I just get really excited! The best thing is that I'm still fairly new to bottle digging so I still find things that completely take me by surprise. Willie :)

[@hartiealbury1967]

Hi Willy awesome repair job on the Ginger Beer, keep up the good work, another great dig love watching your videos happy diging from the BAHAMAS

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Hartie - glad you're enjoying seeing the repairs and the adventures! Cheers to the Bahamas from a wind-swept Isle of Skye! Willie :)

[@juliehobden749]

Hi willie does Ian have a channel? Love how you fix your finds and not just put the broken ones back.😀

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Hi Julie - unfortunately not, no. Though I'm working on convincing him that it's a good idea! He works full time though, whereas I do this pretty much full time now. I really enjoy finding finds complete, but I also enjoy finding the broken ones. Immediately my mind is 'fixing' them even while I'm just wiping the dirt off them! Willie :)

[@s.moores5546]

The fix up is amazing!

[@deneasedenson6668]

Good job on the ginger!

Thanks - was more challenging than I'd expected - but I'm happy with it. Willie :)

I have no problem understanding your accent. My Grandfather and grandmother were from Glasgow.

[@marywood6001]

And Edinburgh

Awesome as always. I think Ian’s teapot with the red cross is actually an invalid cup used to feed recumbent patients with restorative broth🤢

I have been digging now a month got a grate collection coming on and you Chanel as helped me a lot. The hard thing is now is convincing my wife friends it’s cool hobby lol

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Nice one Trigger - glad to hear your collection is coming along nicely. Also great to hear that the channel has helped you. I had exactly the same thing with Bottle Digger Tom’s channel when I started - Tom’s videos really helped me. Glad to hear that’s now gone full circle and these videos are helping others. And tell them I said it’s a cool hobby - it quite clearly is! Willie 🙂

[@tonysnaith3740]

Superb repair again on the ginger beer, well worth the effort. How long did it take?

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Tony. It took a while. I reckon 5 hours or so. To be honest, I should’ve gone the normal route of light to dark on the paint. It took longer than it needed to. Willie :)

[@tonysnaith3740]

Great skill and patience nonetheless.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Tony. 🙂👍
