What impresses me is the way you treat your friends. So very encouraging, kind and intrested in other people besides yourself. Truly the hallmark of a true friend. Plus, you have a great sense of humor! Greetings from Illinois!
Reminds me of digging up old can dumps from the wild west with my dad when I was a kid. We once found 4 intact shot glasses, when I visit my dad we still shoot whiskey out of them.
Unbelievable that some bottles still contain their original contents after all those years underground, I find that absolutely mind blowing!! Wouldn't it be great if someone could analyze the perfume and recreate it, many many 'professional' perfume collectors out there...you could be on to a winner there Si 😊
An interesting idea for sure.. but considering how rampant toxic materials were used back in those days, I doubt you'd be able to make a 1:1 re-creation that was safe for modern use
My aunt and her husband bought a old soldiers cottage that dates back to 1701. And behind the barn there is a huge "hill" that has been used as a trash dump over all that time. And every time i am there I start digging. I find everything from old glass bottles to batteries from the 1960's. Thanks for inspiration to do this. From Sweden.
Arguably some newer stuff has far more craftsmanship from the point of view of the engineering needed to design the machines that build a lot of our material goods today. Nothing beats handmade though!
@@tarika2732 yes engineering to make machines that create cheap shit. It's the goods that we are admiring not the machines. However I have a mechanical mind so I'm constantly in awe of equipment I come acrossed every day in factories and I bug the hell out of maintenance who's walking with me after loads of questions.
The perfume brick would be saturated with perfume or fragrant oils and it would be placed in drawers or cabinets and it would release its aroma. That is a special find. At least it is to me. I've gained info about the sugar crusher I have one I had no idea what it was for years. A great day for you guys. I love your suspended bottle idea, how unusual. I've never seen anything like it. You have such a creative mind. Have a great day Simon.
Modern society forgets what a stinky world it was around big city centers. The perfume brick was a lovely thing in age of, The Big Stink of London in summer of 1858.
Something really similar is still on use. I have one myself in my wardrobe! It can be used both as a parfume or to keep insects away from your clothes using essential oils!
I used out scented candles in my clothing dresser after I blew them out. People would laugh but it makes me clothing smell nice. It's cool that they did something similar with the little bricks
I am so enthralled with these mudlarking adventures! It would be like having a continual treasure hunt. What a super way to share England’s amazing history!
I found what they were for, they were truly the original sachet for scents. The women would spray their favorite scents and hide them around a room. How cute is that?
Wow, Kevin did such an amazing job on the little jug! You each found unique items, thanks for the history on the Pilcher bottle, it's so cool the Cannon Pub is still in business today!
Did everybody notice that all the replies were from females? I mentioned in another video that I'd be closer to his Grandmother than those young chicks.
I have never seen so many awesome, cool and muddy bottles come out of the dirt! That was a nice haul. Enjoyed the video very much! Your friends got some really nice bottles too! Love the eye and leg...lol.....Great video. 👍✌💖
Looks like an interesting hobby, and to find two other people that share that hobby, and to all go on these scavenger hunts!! Now that's a rare friendship. Looks like you have a lot of fun. Also it's surprising how close to the surface, and how good condition these items are - hidden gems everywhere!
When I was digging, over 30 years ago,, I along with my digging mates, used to use stainless garden spades & forks, also had a little gardenning hand fork for when we were getting items from out of the "face" of the hole. I would never wriggle a bottle (or any other object come to that) whilst still half buried, I saw too many broken that way. My favourites were inks along with poisons, blues, greens & rarely brownI would have a guess that, I still have about 500 bottles, all boxed up..
Hey, hey, Kev🙋🏼♀️. Congratulations on winning the award this time🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!! Really love that creamer jug👍🏻!!! And a marvelous upcycle on it also. Well done, my friend 😊. Wow Mr. Tim, really liking the ink bottle with the blue ink still inside😳...that just blows my mind🤯 that the ink survived!!! Si... definitely my favorite of yours is the Victorian perfume bottle 🥰. So lucky the glass stopper was intact and still in place🙌🏻. And the perfume scent still detectable... it's like a tiny time capsule or window back in time 😉. Amazing 🤯😉!!! Blessings to all you gentlemen and your families and friends for continuing safety and health. 🙋🏼♀️🤗🤭😘
That mystery bottle: Dastoor or Dastur is a Parsi name. Dastoor would be the “Anglicized” version. My father was a Parsi from India and I recognized it immediately. Trying to locate information. (Dastur, BTW is the Parsi word for priest. But can refer to any elder who can perform rites when no priests are available.)
@@monikawiedmann8594 It’s also the name of a fragrant plant (see my subsequent comment) which is used for making perfume. But it also says “can be used by the teaspoon or even tablespoon” but it doesn’t say what for.
I found a copy of The Druggist's Circular from 1912 (volume LVI - published in New York), which lists 'Dastoor's Kadi Comp.' under the heading 'Proprietary Preparations', subhead 'SYRUPS'. No more information on what it is, but at least it dates it for you, and tells you it was sold in the US as well. Edit: It is listed as advertised in the August 4, 1899 issue of The Boston Medical Journal (listed at that time as The Dastoor Specific Co.), but the page with the actual advertisement seems to be missing, so I'm going to see if I can track it down.
Okay, found another ad in The Grain Dealer's Journal from Chicago, 1900. "Grain Men and Millers constantly inhale a dust in handling grain, the effects of which if not counteracted, results ultimately in Hay Fever, Asthma, and Catarrh. KADI, the East Indian specific is an absolute preventative of such disorders and a positive cure." Says it has offices in London, Bombay, New York, and Chicago. Thacker's Indian Directory from 1918 lists the proprietor of Dastoor Specific Co, specific medicine manufacturers, as "Dinshaw M. Dastoor & Co.", which itself is a company listed as 'oculists, scientific-refractionists, and opticians', proprietor Ruttanshaw M. Dastoor. An ad from 6 Sept 1900 in the Chicago Tribune: "Asthma, Hay Fever, Bronchia Troubles, cure guaranteed: original East India remedy " Kadi " Free samples this week. Dastoor Specific Co., Room 640, 53 Dearborn st."
I thought Kev was the winner today too. He had some interesting different things like the perfume brick, the ornate hair piece & the jug. Thanks for taking us along Si!
What a haul!! It's nice that Kevin won the Digger's Cup, but I think you were all winners today. My favourites were Kevin's little dairy jug, & penny perfume, Tim's stoneware & glass inks, and his sugar crusher, and your intact tea cup, blue vase, & stoppered perfume. Wonderful way to spend my Sunday. See you-all again soon. Take care & stay safe. :)
Great video this morning. That cut glass decanter stopper would make a beautiful cane topper! The perfume bottle is beautiful. Go Kevin!!! Can't wait for you go back.
You wouldn’t want it to fall though . My stick is always falling down from beside my chair with a loud noise and frightening everyone . It has a safe brass handle .
Hi Si, what a wonderful bunch of finds! Have to say though the Torquay creamer is my favourite, I have a soft spot for Torquay! Kevin did a really great job on repairing it! 👍 Well done all! Thank you for all your hard work, so appreciated! Take really good care, stay well, be safe! Much love Kathy Ontario, Canada
What great bottle finds and lots of other interesting things. You guys hit the right spot to dig. I enjoy the history you share as well. Great video Si.
I love the camaraderie and encouragement between you and your friends, Si. Even more than I usually do, you make me wish I lived in England, so I could be part of your lovely circle and find treasures in the muck! Thank you for your videos, they do wonders for my mood and anxiety. Greetings from the colonies, New Jersey specifically!
Yes, i think you're on the right Way. Al- Kädi is the Arabian speech for the Latin origin Pandanus odorifer. Dr. Dastoor's was the Name of the Company (Dr. Dastoor's Specific Company Ltd.) It should be a strong smelling Liquid and should help against many Diseases, Like Asthma... It was well known in London at the early beginning of the 20 th Century (1900/ 01 +++?). Hope that helps... Sorry, for my bad English! Greetings from Germany
That perfume brick is too cute. Wouldn’t mind having one. Do they still make them? The piece of ‘ bakelite’ is nice, piece of a hair clip maybe? I have a leather one that is similar. Oh, love the little perfume bottle , and the lovely blue vase. Kev did an awesome job with his dairy jug.
I really loved the BOVRIL bottle!! What a great shape!! So many beautiful bottles under a pile of dirt for years, incredible. In America, it seems that before the flush toilets came into the scene, everybody used out houses and that’s where they all threw their bottles, broken dishes, and just things that they didn’t want anymore then just covered it all up when they moved the outhouse. I watch a guy that digs in these areas and it is so incredible what he finds. I find this all so fascinating , thanks for another great video!!😎😍
What a great day out! Loved all the finds especially the blue poison, but the perfume bottle is the best! ✨ Kev and Tim did find some great stuff too. Thanks for the day out. Can’t wait to see your resin crafts again. They’re so beautiful! Stay safe. 🦋
Another fantastic day in the mud... love your “down in the dumps” videos❤️ That perfume brick was a first for me. Look forward to your videos every week luv xx
Camp was chicory essence and used as a coffee substitute during the war. My grandparents used it after the war (maybe having acquired a taste for it) and Gran used to make delicious coffee sponges with it.
Kevin's face when he won 'digger of the day' just made my Sunday 😍 What a legend! Did he let you have that little ridged penny perfume? (I want it!) Well done for all your super finds. Perfume brick and stoneware ink have just been added to my wish list... ❤️ Ps. Thank God the shoe didn't start talking... I'm still recovering from the talking doll
I don't know about, or have an interest in this stuff, and I somehow stumbled across this video by chance.. but I actually really enjoyed it. I loved your friendly positive attitudes, calmness and the lack of background music, excessive video editing or phony over-excitement. Just a nice video of a fun hobby with friends. I watched the whole thing and will probably watch more. Thanks guys!
Great to see you all freeing up remnants of the past -- makes me wonder, is there *ANY* spot in the UK where there is not some piece of history buried?????
i hope i have the chance to go digging bottles one day before i kick the bucket.i used to live to dig old dumps when a youngster and still get a buzz when i find something old by chance.your living the dream lads.wish you all the luck for future finds
I thought the very same thing, although I could not find an image on the internet that looked similar. Most cages I have seen usually had a door that slid down locking onto the top of the glass feeder/waterer and the ridge on the top of that one would have held the door in place.
For the perfume brick, here's is the Description:A small orange colour clay brick which says 'Perfume Brick' on the top and bottom. ... Perfume Bricks such as this one would have been soaked in lavender or other perfumes and placed in linen cupboards. They might also be placed with decorative feathers when in store to keep away moths.
Yeah I had a search too: "Verwood must have enjoyed making smelly pots because from the late 1920's they produced a cheaper version - the perfume brick, which was soaked in lavender or other perfume and then used in linen cupboards. Again, surviving examples don't smell any more. They look like tiny bricks, and have PERFUME BRICK moulded into them" on The Dorset perfume trade.
Awesome finds. I did find an article that says the Dr. Dastoor's KADI was a syrup compound from East India that was used to treat Asthma, Bronchitis, Influenza, Laryngitis and Catarrh. It worked very well apparently at that time. It was in a medical brief book from 1904. Hope that helps
Awesome finds! It's amazing stoppers and contents still in the bottles after all this time! Love the little bottles and inkwells. You found a very great dump there indeed! Love the glass stoppers!
it's amazing to think that something as delicate as a glass bottle can outlive the buildings they were made and filled in. fascinating stuff by the way

Wow ...Great finds Mr Sy .... Congratulations ...
Would love to know where you find these locations.
Came across your channel guys, very interesting .....subscribed
Have you ever considered doing an organised dig where members of the public pay you to take them on a dig?
Love it! Methinks the Dr Dastoor's bottle says RADI for radium
What impresses me is the way you treat your friends. So very encouraging, kind and intrested in other people besides yourself. Truly the hallmark of a true friend. Plus, you have a great sense of humor! Greetings from Illinois!
Thanks so much 👍🏻🐾🧡
Exactly what I was going to say!!
Si is so grate and have a great laugh...great lads all three!😀👍
TH-cam: "Hey, want to watch some blokes dig up some shit from an old dump?"
Me: Go on then.
Yap, thats what youtube did for me as well, not that I'm comlaining or anything think I'll even watch more lol
That English mud has some insane preservation properties.
It should, it's full of the drippings of all those amazing elixirs.
Imagine the state of buried glass anywhere else in the world.
Yep it is, just like the bog man
Reminds me of digging up old can dumps from the wild west with my dad when I was a kid. We once found 4 intact shot glasses, when I visit my dad we still shoot whiskey out of them.

Wouldn't it be great if someone could analyze the perfume and recreate it, many many 'professional' perfume collectors out there...you could be on to a winner there Si 😊
Probably cost a small fortune! Would be cool tho
An interesting idea for sure.. but considering how rampant toxic materials were used back in those days, I doubt you'd be able to make a 1:1 re-creation that was safe for modern use
Being buried would mean they were protected from the worst enemies of perfume: direct sunlight and extremes of temperature.
My aunt and her husband bought a old soldiers cottage that dates back to 1701. And behind the barn there is a huge "hill" that has been used as a trash dump over all that time. And every time i am there I start digging. I find everything from old glass bottles to batteries from the 1960's. Thanks for inspiration to do this. From Sweden.
What fun! Open a B&B with digging rites! 🇨🇦

Thanks Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Kadi, is an aromatic plant (Pandanus odorifer) they distilled into aromatic oils. It's from Southern India and S.E. Asia
It’s also a River in Russia. I was thinking maybe a Russian doctor and his healing elixir with water from the Kadi. Just a guess though.
Thanks Gayle!
Yes, i think you're on the right Way. Al- Kädi is the Arabian speech for the Latin origin Pandanus odorifer.
Dr. Dastoor's was the Name of the Company (Dr. Dastoor's Specific Company Ltd.)
It should be a strong smelling Liquid and should help against many Diseases, Like Asthma...
It was well known in London at the early beginning of the 20 th Century (1900/ 01 +++?).
Hope that helps...

The finds on this one are amazing!!! I am so jealous:) Stay safe friend and thanks for sharing:)
Cheers Kathi
Just googled perfume brick Kev was right great find 👍
What a wonderful place to dig for old bottles,it's filled with old stuff ♥
For the perfume brick, here's is the Description:A small orange colour clay brick which says 'Perfume Brick' on the top and bottom. ... Perfume Bricks such as this one would have been soaked in lavender or other perfumes and placed in linen cupboards. They might also be placed with decorative feathers when in store to keep away moths.
Yeah I had a search too: "Verwood must have enjoyed making smelly pots because from the late 1920's they produced a cheaper version - the perfume brick, which was soaked in lavender or other perfume and then used in linen cupboards. Again, surviving examples don't smell any more. They look like tiny bricks, and have PERFUME BRICK moulded into them" on The Dorset perfume trade.
Awesome finds. I did find an article that says the Dr. Dastoor's KADI was a syrup compound from East India that was used to treat Asthma, Bronchitis, Influenza, Laryngitis and Catarrh. It worked very well apparently at that time. It was in a medical brief book from 1904. Hope that helps
I was suprised to see so many of them still intact
Another good one Si. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make the video.

Just for share interest, how much for victorian time perfume bottle? You found multiple of these, how rare is it?
I love all the episodes, but my favorites are the bottle dumps with Tim. Got a little crush.
I thought that Glass Stopper looked like an Echinoid too... And then you said it... Lol!
Wow! What a buried treasure chest! Brilliant! The insight into the finds is awesome. Thanks for sharing with us!

The blue fluted glass sure looks like an ink well to me. Even has the little "rest" for a pen.
That bit of Si talking as the boot cracked me up. Poor old boot, left in the cold mud. :)
Straight from the dairy. That's my favourite and the prefume bottle.
Awesome finds! Love the blue glass and that perfume bottle!!
Awesome finds! It's amazing stoppers and contents still in the bottles after all this time! Love the little bottles and inkwells. You found a very great dump there indeed! Love the glass stoppers!

Nice to see you with your gloves on Sci, you just cannot be too careful when it comes to rats urine.

it's amazing to think that something as delicate as a glass bottle can outlive the buildings they were made and filled in. fascinating stuff by the way
