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

Hi and thanks for your comment. I watch many RU-vid 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

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

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

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.

@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

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

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

Lora Munday you in Fresno area, too? Miserable today.

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! ( :

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. :)

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!

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.

where abouts in shrewsbury did you find them there could well be more

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.

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.

Alf interesting

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

Yes, I can really see why bottle diggers really get into that aspect of the hobby. It's addictive.

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

Thanks for your feedback. There's enough swearing on RU-vid, so I try not to add to it. I try to keep the videos family friendly! .... Scott

Hi Deborah. Thanks for your comment. Some people dream of finding gold coins and rings etc. I think my dream is to find a tin of stuff, or a time capsule buried a century ago. Maybe one day....

heres his phone number, state side I'll see if he's online, he knows everything about bottles! Tell him Renee Barcelona sent you. Daniel JarskiScience TeacherPhone: 708-342-5800Extension: x4534Department: Science

Thats what I thought. But is it made of plastic?

@@sarahstrong7174 it's definitely part of a old battery

@@bouncerslabrealnature9143 Thankyou for replying.

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

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

Hi Terry, once I gave it a good scrub it did indeed have a little hole. .... Scott

Hi Mary. I think I've chipped one and smashed one. Overall, my record is pretty good though. As soon as I hear the glass 'ping' noise, I going into super safe mode. Thanks for your comment... Scott

Thanks very much for your kind comment. I might not find things of great value, but the reward is getting out there, having read up on the history of the site, and look for links. It's a great hobby.

Ha ha - that was something that crossed my mind, but I did fill the holes in again. I went past there yesterday and as the dirt has dried, you probably wouldn't have known I'd been there. And fortunately no subsidence to the road either! ... Scott

I did dig deeper, but it seemed to be just some sort of red gravel.... Scott

Hi Chris and thanks for your comment. I'm so interested in the amount of history over here because I was brought up in Sydney. I had found bits and pieces between the grass and so I decided to dig. The initial detector check revealed nothing, and after the dig, and holes were filled in, I checked again over the disturbed ground and again nothing. As I dug, I noticed distinct layers of ash, soil, gravel etc. so I knew the spoil had been dumped here and wasn't naturally occurring. Thanks again .... Scott

Chris Barrett I have found interesting bottle dumps on properties out west. Problem is you really need to know people on old stations etc.

Hi Alfredo. Quite a few people ask me about cleaning the bottles. I use brick and masonry cleaner, bought at a local DIY store. It's supposed to be diluted, but I use it straight out of the bottle. Leave the bottle soaking in a plastic bucker for 3 days and Hey Presto! The gunk comes off with little trouble. Sometimes I still have to use a bottle brush or pipe cleaner for the insides of the small bottles, but after the above treatment, it doesn't take much work. This cleaner has nitric acid in it, and it's good for removing rust as well (and anything else it touches). ... Scott

Rusty Nails Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try. Happy hunting.
