The End Of The Bottle Dump Amazing History Found Just In Time! 

Thank you so much for all the lovely comments of support and commiseration. We are still devastated by the loss of all those beautiful trees. The land is being given over to animal feed crops. There is some light as we have been told by the owner that the profits from these fields will be donated to a local charity. There is one last dump film this Sunday but we are working on a very special Dump Doll extravaganza including crafting and a closer look at all the dolls and parts we have found at the dump. That film will hopefully be out next Thursday (I say hopefully because this is possibly the most involved craft we have ever done) Thank you again for your wonderful comments they mean so much xxxxxxxxx

What a terrible loss. The poor trees and treasures. Our hearts go out to you all. ❤️

Brought tears to this old man,they are destroying my beautiful Britain.

OMG! Heartbreaking! I am so sorry... history gone, trees gone, wildlife gone. There really are no words to describe this...

Absolutely heart-breaking to see that much needed and beautiful habitat destroyed. It was such an idyllic spot for you to go and find your treasures xx

First I want you to know I'm sending you both some comforting hugs. As our Kate stood there looking at that broken tree, with her heart breaking, I too cried. Last week they removed a very healthy, lovely maple tree from next door to me, It was 70 to 100 years old and we have seen many generations of birds nesting in that tree. When I saw it, it stunned me so much, it took my breath away. I cried for days for that tree and a wee bird that sat in a neighboring tree crying. I've never heard a bird wailing before, but I can assure you that is what it was doing. A couple days later the city marked a maple on my property, to be cut or removed, (something to do with city water lines, though I'm thinking it has to do with the five gee whiz poles being erected), all in the name of progress? Please send up prayers with me, that I can trim it down enough that they won't remove it. I am so sad, I'm not gonna lie, though your wonderful rescues, along with your bucket listers were encouraging and lightened my Heart a bit. Bless Your Beautiful Hearts, Fleur and Kate, From a kindred soul sister.

You are all so lovely, just know all will be well. My sister died today and you from so far away are helping me through this horrible time. I am grateful and thank you.☮️🇨🇦 Footnote: normally my family would be together but Covid. It’s all so weird. So watching you is such a comfort.

Oh gosh, I hope an ecological survey was done before they destroyed it!! All the wildlife! 😦😯😟😔 It breaks my heart, that looked like a wildlife haven 😢

I always find it very sad when trees are destroyed. And this orchard held so much history! Such a shame!

So sad... I keep thinking of all the wildlife that dwelled in those trees :( very sad...

How utterly heartbreaking to watch. I'm on the other side of the world but it feels like my hearts been ripped out, I can't even imagine how you must feel xXx

I'm crying for the trees too.

They're expanding the roads where I live and in the process, they are pulling up hundreds of old oak trees. I cry when I see that too. 😥

😒😢 oh no...not the bottle dump!!! I'm so sorry 😔, my heart and stomach literally dropped when I heard your voice over. All those apple trees (sustaining food for birds, bugs, bees and possibly mammals) and various other shrubs and plants that nurtured and sheltered Mother Nature's wild children.🤦🏼‍♀️(sigh) I'm just heartsick 💔. So few wild and safe places for nature's creatures anymore. Thank you for giving your best to try and save as much history treasures as you can 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!! I can hear the deep sadness and shock in both your voices😌🤗(giant virtual cuddle hug). Can't wait to see the next installment... hope you get to see your "wee" mudlarking birdie one last time 🤞🏻. Love and hugs🙂🤗🤭😘

So sad. Wish I were there. I could harvest some of those trees and turn them into bonsai trees. You'd be amazed how even big, fat trees can be made into large bonsai. I have two ponderosa pines that are over 130 years old that were saved from a forest fire by harvesting them and creating bonsai from them. They are beautiful and very happy. 💚

So very sorry that you have lost your beloved Bottle Dump! I am hoping that the animals have found safe places. Lots of love and prayers to you

This is very sad. But u were blessed w/ many things wonderful. It was funny watching Kate scrape bottle dig dirt onto herself. In gonna miss this dump

Heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved bottle dump. Add to that the loss of the beautiful trees.... :( !

What a bittersweet ending to your faithful dump. She seems to have been giving you some of her best treasures. Tears and cheers! Keep hunting!

So sad, I cried too, poor trees, it really was a special place

I'm sorry for your loss of this dear 'friend'. It was so close (literally) to you and gave you so many nice things. You were so good to go and save what you could.

I also feel for you. As a small child I used to visit an overgrown walled garden full of overgrown shrubs, butterflies, wild bees, beetles and flowers. It was torn up and the land covered with tarmac. As an adult, I still remember the sadness of its passing.

Really sad about the trees and the dump. 😥

Hi ladies, I feel your sadness, that dump had become a real haven for wildlife and I felt so sick seeing such destruction. At least you managed to rescue some of the dump babies that live there. I think that Kate's 'big marble' is a Jack or 'Cochonnet' (French 'piglet') from a game of bowls or 'boules.' It was a game that became very popular during the 19th century. Big hugs, Louie Xx

Hello ladies, I'm so sorry about your dump. So much lost. I think you can tell the with Crystal and glass by the sound they make when you tap on them. The big clay marble is a for a game. Tom Burleigh found one once. I truly enjoy all your videos. Take care and stay safe 🙏

I am so sad to see the fruit trees killed. Thank you for saving all treasures that you could. I have really enjoyed going on adventures with you all. Jodie

It feels like the dump loved you back.

What a devastating loss! I felt your pain. I hate to see nature torn up so irreverently. Hugs, Julie 🥰

I’m so sad😞 I love watching you walk through the apple trees

I'm crying with you all....😥😥😥😥

Oh no 😭💕 i absolutely loved the orchard

Oh no! I feel your pain so much. I was crying quite a lot during your video, so sad. I’m glad that you have managed to find such beautiful treasures. That place was so magical. ❤️🇦🇺xxx

I so much enjoy reading the comments after watching the videos .So many lovely people visiting ! It’s a real pleasure to know that there’s such enjoyment in seeing the discoveries that would otherwise be lost forever. 😊 Wonderful . ❤️

It saddens me to see the trees destroyed

So sad I was crying watching you save these precious pieces it’s such a shame that the developers can’t think of a different way to build around these trees

Waaaahhhhh! I’m so sorry, for you, the trees and the wildlife. You care of and for the dump will have been witnessed by the dump devas hence your beautiful rewards

I too think the orchard dump was waiting for you to come find as many treasures as you could find. I know Kate will remember that spot fondly for the rest of her life. 💜 Thank you for sharing so many great treasure finds there with us.

I accidentally found your video and began to watch, the half a acorn pipe what a great find it would look so good in a small dark wooded shadow box with black back ground, u have a new subscriber I luv the all finds.🇨🇦👍😎

Very sad hearing the chainsaws in the background. Great finds. ♥️♥️♥️

I am so sorry about the orchard dump. It is so sad. Kate your ring is beautiful. Good job.

Heartbreaking! When will they realize we are a small island when all these wild places are gone, you'll be able to walk from one end of Britain to the other without coming out of a housing estate,so much for the green and septred Isle. Shameful.

That’s devastating! You must have been heartbroken! I loved this location and always thought you were so lucky to have it. (Nothing like it in North Carolina.)

So sorry guys. The death of trees are always heart breaking but those apple trees did not look hybrid. Shame to loose them. Hopefully you can save more before it's covered with houses. Blessing

I was crying it is so sad I hope they not building on the land I have really enjoyed your videos and hope you find more Victorian bottle dumps

Just heartbreaking hope their comes a chance it will stay a empty field,so mudlarking could continue Wouldn't be the same but a future field of dreams?

Fleur and Kate sorry for you, glad you had the chance to save some of your treasures, shame that progress has to damage so much nature and it’s happening so much everywhere these days. ❤️ from Ontario Canada

Ohhhh nooo I’m so sad for you all and the trees the birds all the treasures and history, I grieve along with you , and shedded a tear or two watching and in empathy, glad you got to save some beautiful treasures . My heart is with you

u have so many beautiful memories of this wonderful place....Enjoyed the finds...thanku for sharing

Oh my this is the saddest thing ever!! Lovingly picking each item to save it. I haven't cried this hard in a long time. Thank you for sharing!! Hoping Spring brings us all better days.

It is sad that this mystical, gnarled, apple cider smelling, friend has been decimated. My sincerest sorrow for you and the nature there. No more words. Love you ladies, dearly.

Omg why such a beautiful place with all the treasures and wild life shame on those who have destroyed it am so very sorry am so sad hugs 😢 xxxxx

I am so sorry for the loss of your treasure dump. I am glad you found as many treasures as you did! Can’t wait until next week!

Thank goodness you two were able to rescue some wonderful things. Hopefully your mudlarking Robin will come through and guide you all to another great area.

A person at their desk in a cosy office signs off this land in a second not ever knowing the consequences to the nature and avalon they have destroyed . We are all with you ❤

Looking forward to the premiere ! Oh noooo the orchard was always my favourite place !!! Hope you managed to get lots of treasures saved x

Wow- can't wait to watch this. I had a similar experience this week. The local play park was being redone. Revealing an old bottle dump underneath. The builders kindly let me and the kids come in and pick up the bottles we could see. Now, it's all AstroTurfed over. These were the first bottles me and the kids had found so it was super special. I even found some with embossing from the town we're in & so glad we saved them. No clay pipes yet but I'm hopeful we'll find one someday.

Why? Why is this happening? I feel your heart break. I cried too.

Aww, I'm so sorry..breaks my heart. Kate has the sweetest most compassionate heart.

How heartbreaking 💔 I too know the relationship you can build with your favorite spots to lark. Sending you lots of love and support. Such gorgeous finds! That German marble is incredible! So special to rescue so many doll pieces.

I was not expecting to cry at this video but what a shame that old orchard was destroyed. I hope it doesn't get built on soon, so maybe you can still find some things...

I'm so so sorry for the loss of the beautiful old bottle dump. I hope you can find as much as you can. I also cried like a baby. Hate to see the loss of things that we love. Good luck hunting my lovely ladies. Love to all.

Made me cry to see the trees go down....glad you saved as much as you could!

I'm sorry for the loss of the source of so much joy for you both and all your followers. Sending love and thanks for sharing.

I cried with you and for you! I would be at that dump everyday until they kicked me out!

So heart breaking to hear of your dump being demolished. All those beautiful apple trees gone to waste. Hope they aren't going to build a bunch of houses there. Loved your finds from today's videos. Well done ladies. Thanks for sharing your story with us and taking us along for your hunt.

Love itb when you find Doll heads one of my favs!!!!! Love it!!!

Sooryb about v that special dump!! You b did find some nice Things though, love to b watch your vids take care and stay safe!!!! 💖💖

Broken hearted for certain. Joyful with the things brought to the surface and saved.

I'm sorry...I've lost so many special places in my lifetime due to "progress"...take heart that you guys loved it and documented its beauty for thousands to see for as long as the internet and humans exist.

So so sorry you're loosing your historical dump site. Thank you for preserving history with your finds and sharing it with all of us. Laurie Riley USA

Oh my goodness I couldn’t help but shed a tear with you both. So sad for the wildlife and those beautiful trees😔, demand for expansion is an unstoppable machine😞. So glad you got to rescue so many wonderful finds. I can hear the cogs of creativity whirling and look forward to the craft videos, hope you can go on more rescue visits to the dump again before it’s gone x

RIP, best dump ever! ❤️🇨🇦❤️

I would be getting friendly with the workers of the diggers that’s for sure . Use them to your advantage . Gutted for you though all the same x

it was hart rendering to see the loss of your treasure dump and the loss of habitat for all the animals and birds who have been building there nests now we both felt your sadness watching the early part of the video we just want to send you love and best wishes and see what you make from the dump doll survivors take care kit an caboodler crew .x

So very sad. Some really great finds though and so glad you saved what you could.

I felt your anguish and cried with. Glad you are going there every day for as long as possible.

Awww, Kate and Fleur I am so sorry. The destruction broke my heart too...and I only watch the finds! It is very much the loss of a dear friend. Your tears are well understood. Your video was a lovely tribute.

Sorry for the loss of your dump of dreams, I also had tears in my eyes but I'm sure you will keep visiting as often as you can and I know you will find more amazing treasures.

So sad, I hate changes, and always have, They recently put in a new freeway, not far from where I live, with two historical small towns. They didn't take out the towns, but put a by pass around them, and that was a main road we traveled through since I was a baby, I am now 74 years old. Love all the items you found, and hope your able to save a few more things.

Oh Kate and Fleur! I had tears in my eyes at one stage... I do feel, though, that you were rewarded by the dump for the simple fact that you appreciated it so much! Such treasures! I'm so glad you knew it was there, and not that someone casually said to you (10 months from now) "You know there used to be a bottle dump right where those new houses were built?"

Heartbreaking!! I cried too. Thank you for rescuing what you could. Fabulous treasures. ❤ Hope it's not going to get covered in concrete...😭😭💔.

We were so shocked that this happened so quickly, and sad for the little world that the wildlife, you and all of us enjoyed. At least you saved some history, and there are still, the the wonderful films you produced on your visits there. We are holding our breaths to see what else you discovered and saved. If this area will be turned into fields, then, perhaps the owners will let you continue to look, before and after the ground is turned over. Will be watching next week. This was all very emotional.

So sad. But glad you were able to save as much as you could.

Awwwww. So sorry to read of the demise of your beloved bottle dump. When one has so much love for tiny things, wildlife- and nature/earth in general, one can't help but be saddened. But wow- what amazing finds!!! And more next week too? Just wonderful. WONDERful. Hope your week is a good one. Cheers from Maine!

I’m so sad to see the loss of such beautiful trees and the wildlife that would have used them for homes🥲 Your beloved bottle dump also. It was lovely to see you both rescue so many things though. I hope you can have more than one trip before it all goes x

I'm so very sorry about the bottle dump. And it hurt to see the trees cut down. I'm glad you are able to go for a little more time. Take care, and thank you for your video

**hugs** your hearts are so precious.

Sometimes when layers are moved we find treasures that were hidden. Every time they move a tree you have new hunting grounds. Get as much as you can. Happy hunting.

That just makes me so mad. They just cant leave anything alone. Ide camp out there and search for stuff with my torch . We aren't going to have any countryside left .

Sad to see the trees just pulled out of the ground with the birds homes . But the field surely gave you a abundance of lovely treasures . I wish humans would just let nature do its thing and be happy.

Why oh why oh why!!!!!, Would you dessimate such an enchanted orchard. So sad and heartbreaking 🥺. We had the same done to our nearest orchard, now a housing estate. Hugs 🌿❤️

My heart hurts for the loss of such a source rich with history.😢. What a great loss of history resources and an amazing orchard. It’s great that you were able to save what you did. Love your videos

So gutted for you, and us subscribers! I love the dump videos with the ‘what will they find next’ suspense. Great finds this time though. The red glass ring you made is lovely. If the land is going to be fields then perhaps you could make friends with the owner and be able to field walk as some of the buried items will make their way up to the surface.

So sad to think of this bottle dump being underground again. Enjoyed watching.

I'm sad & glad to see this video. Sad to see the lively trees gone & glad you got so many good finds. The terracotta doll could be stuck onto the terracotta pot & used to hold precious finds. They are my favourite finds. Beautiful music added to my melancholy. Thank you.

What a sad day for you so sorry that the dump is going. Love your joy at finding treasures.

My goodness....such neat finds...love the bottles...such sad news about the dump....

The seal literally looks like a doll head to me, two eyes and a smile with a tongue out and a big head of hair.. Or am I the only one??

The stamp looks like a little angel sits.

So glad you managed to save some really beautiful things , very upsetting to see the tree's being torn down, truly heartbreaking and difficult to see, but at least you were both there, take care xx ♥️🐸🐱💞
