I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I FOUND! I went looking for clay pipes, coins, but found old bottles

This is a hotspot when I discovered weeks ago. I returned with a small pick to hack away at the dirt. The area had been rich in clay pipes and other household items, but I never thought I would uncover a small bottle dump. This was my first try and bottle digging, and I can now see why bottle diggers love their hobby. It's so addictive.

[@Beobout6]

So many channels just talk and talk too much. You get right to it and show what you are doing bottle after bottle. I really enjoy your adventures and treasures. Thank you.

[@RustyNailsadventures]

Hi and thanks for your comment. I watch many KZbin channels, and I try to avoid what I don't like about them. I think too much chit-chat can distract you from the purpose of the video - showing finds. ... Scott

[@dennisjamieson3328]

Enjoyed your video on finding old bottles plus other bits and pieces. Your voice is very clear and easy to understand. Tks. Dennis from Canada

[@paulhowie3761]

hi Scott , great little bottle dump you've found , I reckon your right with the dates , I remember in the late sixties there was a big dump still in use at the other side of the road where the old road passes under the new road, it is now pasture.....Paul.

[@leapingcranehtw9418]

One of the BEST videos I have seen on U'TUBE, it was just SO NICE to not hear one curse as well as being very interesting. Thanks for a great video.

[@michelleh70]

Leapingcrane HTW Oh another Christian how wonderful, who cares about curse words. It’s also spelt KZbin.

[@jackpotg-larz7445]

This guys great. But curses aren't bad, no one cares if someone goes "holy shit are you fricken kidding me" "damnnn what a find" that's natural, real behavior.

[@jackpotg-larz7445]

@Tony Wilkins I guess you've never found anything that excites you. Where you cant think. And emotions take over. I've had to edit out a lot of curses on my videos, because I try to not curse on video. But guess what. It's a word. We are here to watch someone's hobby, see what they find and feel their emotions. Not judge them on how they speak

[@jackpotg-larz7445]

@Tony Wilkins clearly metal detecting to you is a hobby. Not a passion

[@TheStgmp44]

a tip to get the cork out of the bottle is to put a plastic bag inside. turn the bottle upside down so the cork is near the head/hole and then inflate the bag. now pull the bag and it should pull the cork out with it.

[@RustyNailsadventures]

Ah, thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try. I had just assumed the cork wouldn't come out, as it had expanded once leaving the bottle neck. Thanks again... Scott

[@kathrynhodgson5037]

If I came across a find like this I'd be doing my happy dance for ages! I love old bottles and kitchenware.

[@shojinryori]

The snail in the bottle! That takes me back to my first year at university, when I did one unfortunate year of law.

[@DonnaNC]

Some very nice bottles! I love to find anything old,mainly Civil War,but I love finding any old bottle. Thanks for sharing, it was fun going along..hope you find lots more bottles,pipes and everything ! I hope you had a nice Father's Day.

[@critterlover4278]

Thanks for sharing your little adventures. I enjoy watching them when my mind is racing and I need a little relaxing distraction. Every time you pull something out I find myself riveted and willing it to be intact. I like that you don't put to much emphasis on only valuable items. Thanks from a Florida mudlark at heart.

[@darlatidwell9995]

Those bottles are a very nice find. Good job saving some historical samples of glass bottles. Neat.

[@LynnRC1957]

I am in Utah we don't have old stuff. My daughter is a nurse in England she and I both love the History found in the UK! Keep up the good work!

[@lindachristian4546]

LynnRC1957 there is old stuff not bottles or ceramics but fossils from sea creatures, that is old.

[@ryanglidden2051]

I too am jealous. Very nice finds for bottles and pipes. Hard to find bottle dumps where I am. Keep up the good work and videos!

[@adicksonful]

From New Jersey, I have a place I have been digging for about 5 yrs. now. I have around 200 bottles some back to the 1800's also a lot of old china from the old Atlantic City when the Mob ran things. Sad thing is I dug more broken one's than I have good one's. Love the video keep them coming.

[@sarahstrong7174]

Thankyou for sharing your dig. Its interesting to see what you found.

[@wolfspiritoutdoors9294]

hi there. nice vid. you look to be digging some of the same stuff I have bin digging at an old dump I found in Leeds. the earliest bottle I found there so far is 1920s . you should try dig deeper . you may find older things. really enjoyed watching. keep up the good work👍

I found an old bottle dump in Shrewsbury by a brook, intact hot water bottles cod bottles, suddenly people got wind of it and dug till there was nothing left, I was about 13 and didn't really know what I'd found so took some to school to show the history teacher, yep he was there aswell

[@kt3345]

[@johnharris7353]

Wow I wish I could find just a few old bottles!

[@piratedetecting8417]

[@evcotter08]

I'm so jealous of the things you Brits can find. I'm in British Columbia and you just don't find anything old here. I just love those little bottles.

[@Muscles_McGee]

Poking around in my own back yard at my old house, built in 1927, in Saint Petersburg, Florida, I found a bunch of buried bottles and glasses from that time, so North America has some stuff! ( :

[@Ogsonofgroo]

There are lots of beauty bottle digs in BC, the trick is is to find out where the dumps are for the camps and towns. Town dumps are, from my experiences, mostly broken up crap, but then... Many years ago we found some old CNR logging camp maps for Vancouver Island, found a camp, found out where the cook-house was located (next to a small lake) and spent many hours with long sticks poking through the mud till ya hit a *thunk/clink*, messy wet work and way too much fun, btw we found some beautiful bottles back to 1900's and slightly earlier, literally hundreds with quite a few rarities. Personally I love the ones that became 'rainbowed', not too sure why some glass does that but man they are pretty! Another good one is homestead dumps, especially if you can find the out-house location, and in those I'd recc'd a metal detector as well as the guts to start digging down into the muck of history. Just my wee thoughts on this wonderful hobby. :)

[@MrLotrecht]

come over to us in germany-everywhere in the city you`re digging you`ll find so much bombs and on the landscape you` find mines a lot of plus bombs ;-) sometimes its better finding nothing!

[@_MSHP_]

Im in Victoria BC, about 18 years ago I paddled to a small private island and found an old miners camp in the woods, but further on with exploring and the very small island next to it, I found an old first nations canoe carved out of a tree and unfinished. I returned to it about three years ago and its all still as it was. Its nice to think about it considering its been so long since its been out their and just forgotten about and times have changed in a major way.

[@djpuffthethird]

Nice little selection there . The Bovril's could be an indicator of the age of the dump . They look to be Early 1930's . Really like the Belfast duo . Great finds !

[@RustyNailsadventures]

Hi and thanks for your comment. Yes, I was really happy with the Corrys bottles. Close to the same area I found a Corrys bottle stop as well, so there was definitely a demand for this brand in the area! ... Scott

[@JimForeman]

Guess you know that outhouses are good places to find bottles.

[@philp.3978]

Very good video sir. I enjoyed it. Good luck digging.

[@bamboozle83]

If it Bottles your after you should go to a local supermarket that has recycling, usually they have large recycle bins full of bottles and you wont have to dig in the dirt.

[@barrywainwright3391]

But who wants new worthless modern age bottles? Antique bottles and stuff is found in old dumps dating back to the 1800s. Yesterday's trash is today's treasure. You obviously don't know anything about dump digging or you would have never made such a ridiculous comment.

[@lisamedlin96]

VERY NICE!

[@MrStreetboy80]

Not sure if you've been hunting down the Thames but I go walking down there often, I got a pretty good collection of detailed clay pipe bowls and bottles by the thousands. I don't dig just look into the breaking banks. People do dig there though. A friend of mine found a hand grenade and I found a ww2 bullet which was pretty cool. My favourite find is an China Victorian dog I found in really good condition. I find it difficult metal detecting these areas because of the amount of scrap metal but eyes only finds are really good!

[@RustyNailsadventures]

One day I will make it to London and check out the Thames!

[@kevinhoffman8214]

finally someone thats not faking finds, thank you

[@RustyNailsadventures]

Hi and thanks Kevin. Yes, if I was going to plant stuff, I can assure you it would be more interesting than the stuff I usually find. I don't go out looking for the cache of gold and silver coins. It's an extension of my interest in local history, and if I find something remotely interesting, then it's a bonus! Thanks again .... Scott

[@sherryrector2275]

I do like the small bottles that are short and squat. Love the lid.

[@urbanrelichunter]

So I guess the Stevenson company was making Gingersnail soda.

[@jerryguerra348]

Looks like you found an old dump. They used to burn the trash to use it as filler, and the bottles and cans would not burn. The can's would rust. The trash ash was used as filler for road construction. Your digging into the roadside buildup used in supporting the roadway. With all the moisture in your dig area, your excavation could eroad the embankment and dammage the road supporting integrity.

[@RustyNailsadventures]

Hi and thanks for your comment. There was some excavating done nearby, with deeper incursions into the roadside build-up, so the road's fine.

[@RustyNailsadventures]

Hi Jessica and thanks for your kind comment. I try to tone down the accent and speak slower than the locals, as I'm aware 50% of my viewers are from the USA, and another 25% from outside of the UK. I'm glad you like the channel. The finds are genuine and the videos are not just crammed full of the good finds. I highlight the trash as well, but if you're interested in local history, even garbage tells a story. ... Scott

[@therevster9828]

Top stuff mate thnx.

[@alf9956]

Looks like the area your digging is an out of city dump , is their a canal near by as they used to use canal barges to transport city waste. the ash is where the dump would heat up and catch fire underground from decomposition and pressure . I've dug a few of these sites around london.
