24:03 "It came out of a deep hole" It sure did
Hahahaha!!!
Yeah I enjoyed a little chuckle to myself 😂😅
Nah mate, it came out of a cave I reckon.
That is like the grandfather of modern dildo..
@@poplaurentiu4148 🤣😂🤣😂
Came straight to the comments to see how many said BUTT PLUG, wasn't disappointed with fellow humans, keep up the work guys!
I came here for the same reason.
😂 glad to know I'm not the only one thinking butt plug
Lol we know it’s lot but still funny
🤣🤣 as soon I saw the thumbnail I said "butt plug". Scroll down on comments I am not the only one.
Me too 😂😂😂😂
Did anyone else just go straight to the comments?
Yup! Lol
Guilty
Guilty
Totally. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤣🤣
Defo not only joking yeah sure did wanted see how many people thought it was butt plug lol
Looks like everybody found some treasures to take home. Those foot warmers I bet are just wonderful!! Can you imagine the treasures that are in all the landfills around the world? That would be incredible to spend a day looking for items in them!!
What a great way to spend your day Si!! Great video and great company!!😍😍
Wow! I'm so jealous of your access to bottle dumps, Thames, etc. I'd be ecstatic to find any of the lovely bottles you all were passing up as being too plain. And the pieces you all kept - spectacular! 💜 Thanks for sharing this wonderful outing.
What I love about these digs is you are such a good friend to all these wonderful ladies!
Love that we can hear all the natural sounds. No need for annoying music overlay. Thank you! 👍👍👍
exdus235 too much damn music bruh
Yes agree... Sometımes the musıc ıs So annoyıng! Just gıve me the natural sounds as well. 😇
This was an amazing bottle dig! Love the stone ware, poisons, and ink wells. The foot warmers were killer. There's still a ton of stuff just waiting to be uncovered...im so envious. Thanks for sharing
Wow! What's finds! All of you were pulling out one treasure after another! I think my favorite was the foot warmers, and Monica's beautiful thin green bottle. But then, the bottle with the blue crystal stopper, the pipes. Wow, my senses went to overload! Great finds to all :)
The 'foot warmer' were called (at least in Scotland) 'Pigs' I still have one I used as a child which was handed down by a Grandparent. If you're not familiar with them they are ceramic hot water bottles and were built like a brick privy. Most of them get damaged by being pushed out of bed by cold toes when they have cooled.
Yeah, my best friend has lots of them and one actually has a pigs face where the handle is
One of my favourite videos so far, and not a drop of Thames water in sight!!!
I just enjoy so much all of yours friendships. I adore how sweet and such a gentleman Simon is with all the ladies.
All of you just bring me such delight! Carry On!
Much Love from Kentucky USA❤️
19:11 I would advise caution on these. A lot of the hands of this time period will be painted with highly radioactive radium paint. I'd check these with a small geiger counter before opening them up for cleaning as the paint flakes are very hazardous
Al Thanks for the warning. I like it how I found it, so it will stay safely sealed, and I will stay radiation-free!
Alpha and Gamma radiation. Don’t breath in or swallow paint dust/particles as Alpha is dangerous inside the body. Otherwise,nothing to worry about.. NB If the paint is no longer luminous, it is still radioactive ! ( For a around 1,000 years plus.) ✌️
I only know this because I deliberately seek out radioactive antiques. I have a fair number of radioactive clocks and watches, but I take precautions to avoid contamination.
Another way to check without a Geiger counter is to shine a UV torch on the hands. If it is from between 1915-1945 and it glows green under the UV light then it is likely radium paint. Antique shops are absolutely full of them.
@@monikabuttling-smith5234 A Great Aunt of mine was one of many women workers whom developed 'mouth rot' during the First World War due to the practice of inserting a paint brush into the mouth to make the hairs into a fine point for painting luminous alarm clock dials with radium composite. Took a surprisingly long time to associate the condition with this practice amongst workers.
To treat nervousness?
"Put this up your bottom"
"Nope, I'm not nervous anymore"
Lol
What an absolutely wonderful place to explore! I could spend many a day exploring and discovering in such a place!
I cannot imagine going back the the township dump we used as kids. Now its still being used as a leaf and garden recycle center. The compost is being used as a cap for the original dump. The same goes for the city dump here where I live now. Now They take it 50 miles away to an old sand quarry and dump it there. 100 years from now, all those plastics will still be there. Back when that dump was made, glass was mostly used. Now its historic.
Another beautifully filmed video, great finds, fun and laughter! Thanks Simon.
You know you are really old when things that you used daily as a child, turn up on "TH-cam" as relics of the past, and apparently dating from the Victorian era! Stoneware pigs, Owbridges Lung Tonic, Parishes Food, and Jeyes Fluid, all could be found in my Granny's house, and I'm not quite 80 yet!!😌
The Heinz bottle is brilliant … I'm originally from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania home to Heinz, didn't know it was made in Maine too ?! Great finds, and fun friends Well done Si
My 3 spout vinegar bottle has a glass stopper with a round glass knob, mine is a smaller bottle. Love how you all get on and have a lot of fun on these outings.
I wonder if people from the Victorian age could look down through time, they would think we are out of our minds!!!😆 love love love this!
What I love about your channel is that, unlike American digger type shows, you are excited about the finds for their beauty and never put a monetary value on the things you find.💘
Love you people xx
Well said!
I agree they are the best!
I love how they give slot to the museum and share.
They are wonderful!
Si is the Best! ❤️
Which American digger show are you talking about? This is just an excuse to hate on America.
The British Museum has stolen hundreds of thousands of artifacts from countries and profited off them. This isn't exclusive to Americans.
@@uncleruckus3930 sadly uncle, the villain in UK culture, media, etc. is often an American with a bad New York accent.
It is an old dilator,used by doctors in the early century....very rare to find...great job..value about 5 bucks...
I WAAANT an ENGLISH FOOT WARMER !!! 😞😞😞☺☺☺
Thanks for sharing Si. Your friends and you are the best of buddies. so when you go out it's always so nice to watch.
I love you and Nicola White's videos. I'm trying to come over next year to mudlark and bottle dig like you.
Finally, the long-awaited bottle dump visit that has been teased for a long while on Instagram. Loved all the glorious glass finds and even the other questionable ones. Poppy had a great time. Loved to see the Lady Larkers finding buried treasure!
Poppy needs little boots so her feet won't get cut.
Yes!
That was my first thought as she could easily cut her paws on the glass
I wish I had some cake like that. Looks lovely.
Si, Thank You, this was an absolute joy to watch. I have had a tough day and you and your friends just made it easier. Cheers to all of you and Sweet Poppy.
I am sooo jealous!!!! Unbelievable spot...artists dream!
What has picking up antiques to do with art?
@@fritzedelwei3133 Broken items can be used on art projects
Thea-Iren Dalton i guess you can consider anything art these days
Found you through Nicola, of Tideline Art. I am SO envious! We in the US don't see many old refuse dumps that we can access readily such as this. And you've been given such a HUGE site! It's good, actually, when you think on it. The Earth is such an amazing place that it can recycle it's minerals the way it does.
Great finds!! ADORE the perfume stoppers! Lucky ladies! Almost appear to be like pre-formed gems...
And Poppy tops it all off! Thank you!!
This looks like a lovely vacation to me! I'd love to go bottle hunting! Thanks for sharing.
33:02 "Piles, constipation, *nervousness*" Hilarious.
I thought you were joking, then clicked the time stamp...
@@inkdreams5113 Thanks for the reminder. I was amused, but not inventing,
That was Amazing. Loved all the stuff you guys found. Cant wait to go Again. Thanks for sharing.
Anna`s purple bottle is amazing! I would love to spend a day at that dump. So many beautiful finds.
always nice to see women enjoying the hobby digging in old dumps
I have never gotten so excited watching a bottle digging video! Wish I lived in Europe to go to spots like that! Incredible finds!
I just love poppy the look on her face when she expects you to throw the stick is just precious. It's funny how she just pops up LOL. Well you hit the motherload Si now you made work for yourself but that's the point of it all. LOL :)
WOW !!! That is a bottle hunting dream!!😲😁so many different bottles soo many, soo hard to choose which comes home . I'm really jealous!! 😃thank you wonderful video!!!
'The Rectal Dilators' a punk band for Runcorn - if my memory serves me right....
.....or maybe not; should be a band name regardless...
Great video guys and gals: the dump excavations really are an insight in to how people a hundred years ago lived every day lives; what we chuck away says a lot about society.
Thanks
Tony
Wasnt there a band 'The Vibrators'?
@@limmoblack You might well be right. Runcorn is a hot bed for punk ;-)
Love the group mudlarkers videos. Keep them coming.
Oh my what a wonderful place to look for treasure. I wish we had places like that around here. I loved watching you and your lovely friends treasure hunting. Do it again soon please.
Fantastic video Si, that bottle dump has so much history. I loved how you nicked the foot warmer stopper and gave it away lol 😂 looking forward to the next one 👍
Arron
South Coast Detecting Cheers Arron!
I find this soo relaxing to watch and listen to, the walking and rumaging sounds are so ASMR :) thankyou
I wonder if in 100 years from now that our dumps would be as interesting? Look honey! I found something. It says Pamper's on it. Look there's something inside!
Just a plastic mess. That dump was before plastic.
Yukkkk
Amazing you found such a huge amount of intact items. Well done
Brilliant work Si & all involved, wicked place to spend a day, looking forward to seeing more from there in the future, thanks for the great trip 👍🇮🇪
Wow, consider what we are NOT seeing, which is heaps of plastic. A dump this old is almost completely free from garbage bags, packaging material, and heaps and heaps of small plastic items. It's pretty much just compost and solid materials. Glass, metal, stone.
I'd love to dig around in there and give my girlfriend a heart attack with all the stuff I'd bring home.
Wow. Terrific . a real Swallows & Amazons kind of day. No wonder there were so many larkers there. A treasure trove. Love the foot-warmers. Splendid
This... was Christmas... I hope you revisit this beautiful place again and again. Awesome finds to all of you👍🌞✌️
Great discoveries everyone. A lot of history saved, congratulations. Excellent video, enjoyed watching.
what a wonderful treasure trove! Enjoyed your adventure!
Wicked finds! Beautiful sunny day, good friends and an awesome doggy 👍 top shelf 🥰
An excellent hunt with many good finds! Thanks for sharing the fun! H.H.
Wow, the clean up at the end...! I'm dazzled by all that beautiful, colorful glass. 😍 Love your channel, thank you. 👏💟
I am so jealous! What a fun way to spend the day. :)
Loved seeing the cleaned up bottles, etc at the end ~ look like works of art.
Great video again Si that place will turn up treasures for a long time there seems to be so much.
Awesome finds! I would be there for weeks grabbing all I could! Luv all the beautiful bottles and stoneware! Wonderful foot warmers! Wish they would still make them! Aww luv the puppy! The dragon lid is stunning! Japanese I'd say! Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely fantastic finds , victorian dump site ,
And you have very knowledgeable friends all the best
Hello from North Yarmouth, Maine! So very cool that you had a bottle from Portland! I work in a pet shop in Portland! I would love to go digging with you all!
It's like an adult adventures park. No children allowed just adults and pooches digging and enjoying the outdoors. Fun times 🐾🐺👍
Poppy seemed to enjoy herself. Fun finds!
To bad the case that Anna found was broken, lots of unusual bottles, nice bottle stopper, & of course fur baby Poppy wants to play, the pickle jar was neat, sad the tea cup was broken, yeah a flower pot, the juice bottle was an unusual shape, & I love the blue stopper, amazing the tea pot wasnt broken, so many bottles, ink wells, the trinket jar was cute too.
Love the foot warmer
Fabulous place! Fabulous finds! Fabulous friends!
I was excited to see two items you’ve found that I have as well. The Halls Tonic Bottle and the red clay pipe with the bird! So beautiful to see a complete one, mines just the bowl. Love all the items found by everyone here!
Thanks Misty, where did you find yours?
Si-finds I purchased mine online. I wasn’t lucky enough to be able to find them, it would be difficult from Colorado 😏. Someday maybe I will make the flight ✈️. For now, I’ll watch your videos 😊
I know it's a pain and you obviously do care but please put booties on the dog. I've seen way too many injuries to animals in places like that doing archaeology. It's not just the shards of glass and metal, but the crazy amount of bacteria and bugs and diseases that get in their nails and between their toes. She takes off like a missile don't she?! Good Poppy!
W 😢❤
Amazing finds. Ty so much!
Looked like an amazing day of digging. Some really great finds, but the one I found most interesting was the A.S. Hinds bottle. Pretty wild to think that something made about an hour's drive from where I live would be found so far away.
Well you don’t come across these often! 😂🤣 What a great place & lovely finds by all. Doggo is cute too 🐶 Thanks for sharing, always interesting & varied 👍🏻
Great Video Si and gang. Love your enthusiasm, its contagious. Happy Hunting
The best bottle digging video i have seen for a long time, thanks for sharing Si, best wishes Terry.
Cheers Terry!
Great vid. From now on I’m going to start calling all my drinks "Caloric Punch". And OMG a rectal dilator for nervousness? .😂 .😂 .😂
Such amazing finds and wonderful friends! Beautiful bottles and pipes! The foot warmers are excellent finds! I loved so many of the treasures that I can't name them all. I covet, as always, the stoneware ink pots. Oh, and Sweet Poppy, loved when you had her on the Thames with you, such a sweet face. Til next time, take care! xx ~Jen
Thanks Jen!
I’m here in the US just drooling over all of your lovely finds! We just don’t have the history that you folks do.... enjoy your beautiful treasures!! I surely enjoyed watching you all find them!! ✌🏼
But we have future.
But we have future.
You have tens of thousands of years of history all over the states ,just not your history.
Three words Dead Horse Bay. Brooklyn, NY
Doom Ed unfortunately archaeological sites aren’t open to the public to be rummaged through.
Thankyou for sharing your most beautiful finds. An exceptionally rich site. Surprising that some of them were ever thrown away because they are so beautiful.
You forgot Poppy’s best (sticks) finds. 🐕💕
Haha, she always loses them!
This video is litterally: "One man's trash, is another man' treasure". Amazing how things people threw away now have immeasurable value.
I'm not a freaky pet lover but having dogs myself i think i would not bring mine in the paradise of broken bottles.. Amazing video by the way 😉
I thought the same .. all that broken glass and the dog rushing around. Although I'm sure they love the dog and kept her from the worse areas.
@Seamus O'Dork obviously hasn't seen a vet bill in your life
You have so much fun finding and keeping and showing me all you find.. Thanks granny90
Wow, what a bottle digger's paradise! Judging by the array of finds and the sheer volume of earth,, that tip was in use for a long time. Definitely some Victorian items in there, up thru WW2. A few things I wanted to mention...
22:40 - AS Hinds are pretty common in the US. Funny to see one pop up so far from home.
33:53 - In the left foreground there's a low-domed inkwell. Any thoughts on the year? I've found only one like it, here in the States, from an 1880s site. Does that seem about right to you?
34:41 - The stoneware bottles with pour spouts look to be master inks. Very nice!
Cheers! And happy hunting!
Used to enjoy digging for bottles at a Victorian waste dump in Redditch where I live - has long since been built on unfortunately.
Loved the blue poison bottles and the lemonade bottles with marbles in
brunster64 Thanks mate!
I would hop across the pond...from Indiana- just to spend a day digging there with you guys. Am I weird or what?
I would love to escape Indiana..
Hello, I’m from Indiana as well and was thinking the exact same thing 😆
I’m in the U.K. and want to go to Indiana , let’s swap lol
@@jocuoghi8343 why would you want to come to Indiana???
I live in Indiana also, and we live on lots of property and I took my deaf son out with shovels to what looked like a burn pit and he found a spoon a bottle and an old coin, I found an old perfume bottle from the forties shape of a heart. We had so much fun. Try looking for older mud spots and you never know.
Simon, this is the biggest bottle / trash dump ive ever seen that was open. What a treasure trove for mud larks and pickers alike! I would have had to camped out and taken a steamer trunk home!! Such fun for all and I love the various bottles and odd bits found. You could almost do a full year of videos on that spot alone!
Yes Mary i could, would get a bit dull though no?
Oh how I’d love to go there! Such fun! Y’all found some lovely things!
Si, what fun everyone had! And what beautiful finds! Well, except for the-er-Jules' best find. That was a little strange...no, it was VERY strange! A wonderful day out with friends, what could be better!
I’d love to see how you display these things in your home. I don’t have an awful lot of “finds” just things I find out and about but I’ve turned my window sill into a curiosity shelf. I love looking at it 😊
When did bottle stoppers like that stop being made? Found a glass bottle recently and I would love to know when it's from
So fun!! LOVE the glass floater and the dragon!!
"Alright my lovers..." 😄 I commented to my daughter that I love the intro, only to be told it's "mud lovers" 🤦🏽♀️
Ms Soliloquy hehe, now you know! Thanks for watching Mudlover!
Haha , I thought the same the first couple of times 😀😀
Yes I thought exactly the same at first!
This is simply amazing! I have never seen a dump like this in person or online here in the US! What beautiful finds!
I LOVE bottle dumps ! ANY dump really ! heheh ! When I was maybe 5 or 6, I crawled under the floor in a room attached to my parents barn in Massachusetts. It was dilapidated, caving in, a kids dream ! Anyway I found a bunch of buried bottles and a spittoon in perfect condition ! I still have it, after giving it to my mom when I found it, she gave it back to me about 10 years ago . Its a blue pottery spittoon, with a "ribbed" body, and a floral design around the lip. No name on it though. Love seeing all the treasures you find. Peace !
Looks like great fun. I have some little blue bottles on a window sill that I found as a kid ! Still admire them .
Ohhhh I'm from Maine, that immediately caught my attention.
Love the cat and elephant.
I'm salivating over that fishing float!!
Yup, just advancing towards me with one of those “constipation dilators “ would cure me of nervousness!
Well we don't have these kind of places in Bakersfield Ca. I'm so jealous of you all. Love your videos. Happy digging!
Why does Si always hang around with quite posh birds? 😄
Quite posh birds? Do you really talk that way?
I MUST SAY THIS IS THE BEST I HAVE SEEN AND I DONT WANT IT TO END!!!! THERE IS SO MUCH TO LOOK AT AND I LOVE THOSE FOOT WARMMERS
Luckily for you there is a second instalment! Give me a month though...
Love the "Ghandi" dolls head ✌️
Great video Si and some cool finds. 👍🏼
When I see old objects I often wonder what things they've saw over the years..... This has defo seen some sights
