The Victorian Riddle... Bottle Dump Digging, Scotland, Fife, UK - Nr Edinburgh - Ep 63

A great day at the bottle tip for Willie with a series of really interesting finds. On a Victorian jug he finds, there is a curious riddle - can you work it out before Willie does?!
Also, see Willie restore a beautiful, but damaged, green poison bottle that he finds on the dig.

Dear Mr. Willie. I answered your answer to my comment but I guess you won't see it, because utube changed a lot some months ago. No notification for getting an answer any longer. Only if one hits the thumbs up button, a notification will come.(but unfortunately sometimes only after a lot of hours or even days). Please be so kind and read my answer in the comment section. Thanks in advance! Best regards, luck and health.

[@kimberlymolitor354]

Had to giggle when you referred to Gordon Ramsay's pans!!!!! Your humor is so great and I don't know how you come up with the things you say so easily😆😆. Another great bunch of finds and I really thought the swirled bottle was so great. Never seen one before.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Kimberly - very kind words. To be honest, I just talk nonsense most of the time! What you see on film is only a fraction of the daftness that goes on in my head! Haha! Definitely another lucky dig - and I agree - the swirly bottle is a beauty. Willie :)

[@rmil4531]

Willie you are exceptional in your quest for perfection in repairing your bottles. It’s really impressive work. Thank you.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks. I sometimes find bottles lying on the surface with the most minuscule chips or damage and it baffles me why anyone would leave them lying there. It only takes a little while and a little care to make them displayable - well worth the minutes/hours of work to have something in your collection for the rest of your life. Willie :)

[@marywood6001]

When I started watching your Chanel I always sang along. Now I not only sing along, you've got me doing the arm movements too! So your show is now part of my physical therapy. Win win! Thanks.

I agree 1000% about filling in the holes!! So considerate!!

The soil there looks so rich, love watching all the treasures you find buried there.

Cool spittoon and no spill ink, unique finds under the rubble. Good show. See you next time Willie…✌️

Dear @@dirtysecretsofscotland Willie You're welcome, it's my pleasure. Thanks for replying and especially for a heart. I totally appreciate both very much. 2) I do those kind of wordplays for 46 years now (since I was about 13 yo I guess). Therefore I absolutely enjoy it, when the lovely Northern Mudlarking Ladies say stopple bopper! My heart/soul kind of opens up. But when gorgeous Gail and funny Alex don't say it or even do entire videos without wordplays, I'm definitely a bit sad. They also use mod carble sometimes but unfortunately seem not to like my wordplay dottle bump! Sigh... ;-) Sincerely yours. Christian

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Christian - always nice to hear what makes others happy out there! Sorry for the delay in my response - we do get a lot of comments to reply to - which is really great! However, we also have extremely busy schedules, so we must prioritise making the content and videos, and answer everyone when we get the chance to - I hope you understand this. John Lennon loved his wordplay too. I think his main influence was Spike Milligan - an expert on wordplay and a very funny man too! I hope you're having a lovely weekend. Willie :)

Try some UV resin on your glass pieces to see if that helps in your glass repairs, Check it on a piece of glass before you try it on a good piece, It won't feel like glass but it should look like glass. If it works get yourself some UV resin dye if you need to color the glass. Should cut down on having so many sanding steps.

Question are you ever sorry you started the absolute belter dance I love the dance but I’m just curious

[@historydeantected]

Brill video. Loved it. With the progression from course grit to fine grit I find it difficult to know when to move to the next grit sandpaper? How do you know???

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks. Once you get it looking fairly well graded, without scratching, move into the next grit. 🙂

Did you sell the little pink vase ? I would love it if you havnt.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Hi Lynn - I think it's still on the Etsy Store. Sarah hasn't mentioned it selling just yet. Willie :)

Any Hamiltons or Codds bottles in there Will?

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Hi Stuart - yes, both. But Codd especially are scarce there. Flat bottomed Hamiltons are less scarce, but usually smashed. Willie :)

Hi there. I'm confused! Sarah calls you Willie & Kleggy calls you John?????

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Hi John. Thanks for letting me know. I’m definitely Willie. Not sure if he’s got a his wires crossed there..!

Did you have a cold when you made this? P.S. Just found out from a DNA test that I'm 23% Scottish! WOO HOO

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Hi Cathy - no, I don't think so. Why did you ask? And excellent! You're one of us! Willie :)

[@cathymora9106]

Your voice sounded kind of thick that's all. Excellent vid, tho. Sarah, too
