Interesting factoid about The Swan, highwaymen and origination of the terms "One for the road" and "On the wagon." Life's an endless journey on a road to knowledge. I just love learning how old sayings, wive's tales and superstitions I grew up hearing about, came to be. Lovely selection of bottles and bits you have there. I only wish we had an ages old dump in my proximity. There is a secret place, near a river, in what is now a local park and marina, where in the 1930's through about the 1960's, people would dispense with their unwanted items and trash. The strangest thing I've found there, is an old Indian motorcycle, which must have given up it's ghost and was left to decay amidst the cast offs. A tree has now claimed it for it's own, winding it's roots through, over and around it. It's really sort of surreal to see. Left unbothered, Mother nature seems to quietly and calmly, reclaim everything. Great video as usual. See you next week.

From Victorian toot to modern treasure. Great! 9 years ago on 24th May I stumbled upon a celebration for Bob Dylans 70th birthday at the location for Subteranean Homesick Blues. About 20 poets and musicians were playing and reciting Dylon-esque prose and covers of his songs. We stayed for a couple of hours, it was a surreal and somewhat magical chance find on a sunny Sunday London afternoon. Incidentally, I think the alley just down from there has London's last remaining gas powered street lamp. I could be wrong with that 'fact' though TBH. It's somewhere around there.

@spinny2010 3 года назад

I think there already is a "Turnip Prize" for awefully excecuted art. LOL

@drunkdunc8738 3 года назад

spinny2010 there's around 1500 functioning gas lights in London still but the one you saw is the last surviving sewer gas light which burns excess biogas from the sewer. Pretty cool safety device that also supplies free lighting 👍🍺

I live in Florida USA. I enjoy watching your videos. I wish there were places close to where I live to go digging like you do for such wonderful treasures. I especially love the tiny bottles you are finding. They would be my favorite. I could collect a lot of those because they don't take up as much space. I would like to find the colored ones too. Cobalt blue, red, yellow , green and aqua are my favorite color. I would also like to collect the colored sea glass and marbles.. Mostly smaller bits to put in jars and bottles. I have lots of jars and bottles filled with seashells I have handpicked from beaches all over Florida.
