You have ruined me. I will be driving down the road humming your theme song. I will be waiting in line humming your theme sign. People looking at me strangely. It comes into my head a lot. I love your channel
Thanks Molly - hopefully I’ll get round to fixing the bell properly. I did start, but it’s a tough job that will need tools I don’t currently have. And thanks - I love making the music for these videos as much as the videos themselves. 🙂
Great prolific dig, love the ginger jar. It's interesting how the ash layers are indicators of possible juicy finds for you. But I bet it wasn't easant to be around when the tips were set on fire!!!. Loved your ingenuity using resin to mend the beautiful glass bottle. Have a great week..
The Cod Bottles will make a lovely drinking set & I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Ginger Jars...agreed, a belter! I would think it would be much more fun digging with a friend!
Some great finds there and I like those plain ginger jars. I visited a local dump for the first time yesterday and sadly it is a late dump, but still some local bits. That bottom layer is rammed!
Thanks Richard. Always nice to find local bits. Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but did you see if there is older stuff deeper down? I nearly wrote this tip off as too modern when I found it! And yeah, it’s outrageous on the bottom layer! Totally jammed! 🙂
I kept hoping that you would find a whole cod bottle or a ginger beer bottle. I was glad that Ian was with you it's good to have company and not be by yourself. Will see you next week.
Thanks Deborah - yeah me too - but I’m sure they will be in there somewhere! Always fun to have Iain along, but he can only make it once in a while unfortunately. See you in a week! 🙂
Brilliant finds Willie Sarah will love the little bottles the bell and the ginger jar are my favourite finds this week, kind regards to Sarah Jack spaniel and yourself Alex xx
The "ginger jars" could have even held Kimchi a korean fermented cabbage dish made with radish or cabbage. Buried in the ground for a few months. Yumm Willie, when you finish the resin repair, you can take a cigarette lighter and just quickly run the flame over the resin. This will "pop" the bubble in the resin and leave it clear.
I'm glad you show the scrap heap! It helps keep things in perspective for the amount of good stuff you find!---I'm also glad you mentioned a later restoration of that bell...I so wanted to hear you ding it!---And it's fun listening to Iain!
You've a nice collection of ginger jars. For such simple things, they are lovely, thank you Sara for the history bit! Thanks for all the hard work digging and for sharing this great video.😊
Sorry to hear your local tip is gone now. However, the good news is that you will have others nearby. Maybe not a huge town tip, but you will certainly have smaller, potentially un-dug tips near you. Most of the tips I’ve found, I’ve just stumbled on whilst walking. They’re out there - honest! 🙂
That was fun and different and you had lots of nice finds. The resin repair was great. You couldn't even tell it was broken. Thanks for another great video. 😊
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! I started restoring the bell, but I don’t have a drill that’s powerful enough to bore out the rusted iron parts. Think I’m just going to wax it and keep it as is. 🙂
Bloomin pheasants, always give the game away Eddy! 😂 How you doing anyway? Been meaning to get in touch for a dig. Was hoping to get to another bottle fair, but haven’t been able to make one again this year. 🙂
I just buy it 2nd hand on eBay. The fleece though - I think I got that new online somewhere. I don’t recall where though. I just googled ‘camo fleece with zip’. Hope that helps! 🙂
I think that they needed the fig syrup to counteract all of the HP sauce they consumed - just an hypothesis P.s why do you call them Ladies Leg bottles?
I have a big Chinese blue and white ginger jar that was my mum’s. I love it, I have it near the front door with flowers in it. Thanks for sharing your adventure. 🙂🐿❤️🌈 P.s I spy knee pads 🙂 Please ignore my other comment asking about knee pads :)
As a safety step, you should not place your nose real close to the bottles to smell the liquid. Take you hand and wave the air above the opening in the direction of your nose. It is for your safety. Have you accidentally had a large whiff of ammonia? It can knock you down. Just want you keep you safe and healthy.
Hi Denise, Kofi is a website that you can help support creative people. The idea is that you make a small donation to help the running of a RU-vid channel (for example). Also artists and musicians etc have Kofi. The price of a coffee donated by a few people helps with the financial cost of making these videos. It is entirely voluntary.
