That old building would make a terrific apartment building.
I can’t imagine how amazing it would have been to shop in such a beautiful, fancy building! I love architecture. That was a beautiful ginger beer complete with top. Congratulations!
I just love the confection of Senna stoneware pot with the green printing! The Magic Treasure Tip strikes again such wonderful things!LOL 💕💕WV🇺🇸
Very nice finds. The ginger beer is beautiful. Lovely.😊 Excellent repair.
Sorry I have been so aloof and not strongly behind supporting you and your marvelous finds. Yesterday May 23rd was the 2nd "FOREVER 26" of my son Talbert. It has been a struggle to stay away from the dark side. My emotions bounce around so much I have been staying clear of getting involved or spending time letting people know how much I appreciate all the hard work they have done putting out videos. You especially always make my heart soar. I utter love your Belter Jig! You excitement always put a smile on my face and a joy in my heart! Another CZcamsr from a different Genre who is young like you has been calling me and letting me talk of my son and helps me get through the bad times. CZcamsrs like you young men are utter joys!
Your passion can not be compared except by the young lad Adam Gates, the pure honest joy of finds always puts a big smile on my face. Thank God for Adam and other young people like him because they re keeping history alive. We live in a time that is rather sad, people want a quick short condensed answer to every thing, they are lazy and want instant gratification but yall give me hope that all is not lost and yall will be keeping history finds and sharing the thrill with us. I had always hoped my son would have found him a helpmeet like you have in Sarah and I would have had the joy of grandchildren, I never imagined the end of an era losing my son would have created.
I have gotten a box of some glorious pieces of history from a box the WestCountry Mudlarks have sent me, I have so much thrill just holding a small Daddies bottle that got broken in the journey from the UK to here in Middle Missouri. NO ONE can understand the utter joy of holding a green gin bottle from 100 years ago or a bubbly wee bottle or an amazing beautiful ink bottle. Sitting here holding a pork pie ink was an utter joy because you gave me a great admiration of stoneware. I was utterly in shock and elated holding a pipe for the first time. The intricate detail, the amazing color after seeing it come from the black shores and the stark whiteness it becomes is so amazing. I had no idea its actual size and weight. I am saving now for another box of history joy. I have investigated each piece I have gotten to know all I can about its history. I never appreciated a Vulcanite stopper but now I have 3 and the history has started making me appreciate them.
We CZcamsrs are learning to love the adventure of a bottle dump and the great thrill of discovering something new or something that was desired from the bucket list. We CZcamsrs are learning so much history and I pray the future generations learn the deep history because sadly our generations will not be leaving such intricate treasures because of our disposal society
LOL Since I have discovered the thrill of the hunt you ammeter Archeologist are such a thrill to have around. Keep discovering and sharing. I plan to sit around here in my old age and appreciate greatly all that you discover and the history you unfold. Thank you so much for putting up with my babbling.
Love you
Excellent repair/painting on the jar Willie.
Great recovery of lost treasure 👍⛏️🇦🇺😊🙋
Some great finds! Another American swooning over the primroses.
I was really impressed by your restoration process. Your pencil crazing was incredibly effective!
What a wonderful dig! This is what makes it all worth while! God bless!Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤
I cannot believe how well you fixed that pot 😊
Those primrose growing wild are absolutely beautiful. Awesome find with the ginger beer and great repair on the Boots Cash Chemist jar.
What a great collection of unique bottles you found today. I love your excitement and energy you have to dance around and usually dig more than one hole. You are so fun to watch and make my Sunday nights especially fun. 🥰🌻🌿🐕🇺🇸
Aw - thanks! I genuinely get so excited I mess bits up and film things in the wrong order. I could hardly talk during the part about the ginger beer because I was so out of breath from dancing! 😂
Great finds today! Loved the ginger beer variant. The gifted bottles are wonderful! Goes to show how much you are thought of all over the world!🥰
Willie - I love your perfectionist ways when you repair your stoneware and congrats on all the belters today! You two are a sweet artistic and intelligent couple, bringing history and beauty to CZcams!
Well done Willie. What a pleasant surprise to see you open the parcel I sent and that all the bottles were in tact. Thank you for your programs.
Thanks to you Ivan. Very kind of you to send us these gifts. Sarah loves the tiny wee bottles and we both love the tawny port artwork bottle. A pleasure to share these videos with like mined folks like yourself. Willie :)
Some absolute belters Willie. Love all the cream pottery with illustrations. Missed larking so much. We've been in America and since coming home full on with my daughters wedding. By the time we get out again the dreaded nettles will be in full growth. Glad I can watch you finding your amazing gems 💎
What a great bunch of finds! Very cool how the layers of dirt and ash can speak through the history of time and give clues about the site and what may have occurred in the past. Your are an awesome dirt detective 🕵️♂️ 😜🍾
Yet another great video. Great finds. Love the history. Enjoy seeing how you display your finds. Great mail time from Ivan. TFS
Yaaaaay! 🥳Dirty Secrets is on!🕺🕺🕺
I don’t know how collectors feel about this, but it could be cool to find images of the old labels for your plain bottles like the Perrier and print it off and glue it to the bottle. So you could take some of the the so so plain ones and “restore” the label? Could be fun!
That repair job was very impressive! Wow!
Thanks for the History Bit! I always enjoy your sharing!
Best daft dance EVERRRRR!!! Heeheeeee! Congrats on your newest and coolest stoneware bottle!
I particularly enjoyed that one! Willie :)
My pup was going mad when Jack did squishy squishy 😂😂
Could so tell you was proper excited about the ginger beer bottle as it's the first time I've seen you wiggle your arse in the belter dance....well done 😆👍
Another awesome dig Willie, I love the ginger Beer (especially in your collection) and all the other stoneware as usual. Loved the history bit! My dog tried to go over me and into the computer when Jack got hold of his squeaky toy😁 Thanks, I hope the three of you have a great week.
Thanks Debbie - always great to add some new favourites to the collection! When I was editing the video, every time Jack heard the squeaky toy, he came busting into my studio to get involved, only to find me sitting there, bespectacled, editing away! I hope you have a great week too! Willie :)
Also I wish we had such amazing finds on the dumps in Lancashire
I can't believe it...wow
All those primroses are gorgeous, what a beautiful place! Interesting history on Jenners, really enjoyed that. Love the swirly skittle bottle and the stonewares are fabulous! You have an amazing collection! Another awesome repair, you nailed it! A wonderful video, thanks Willie 😀💗x
Thanks Amanda. Seems you enjoyed watching this video as much as I did making it. :)
Always appreciate your comments and encouragement. Willie :)
@@dirtysecretsofscotland Your videos have all my favourite things...... antiques, history, art and humour. I love your videos! 😁 x
That was amazing loved it the finds especially the flowers are also beautiful
Memories... in 2002, my husband (now deceased) and I were in Edinburgh and bought him a Harris tweed jacket at Jenner's. It's now passing down the family.
The 'History Bit ' is always very interesting as well , keep digging ! Good luck to you .
Excellent repair!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a dig!!! I had an idea for the teapot. You could turn it into a bird house. Put a lid (roof) on the top, punch a hole in front of it, attach a base, and hang it. I bet Dave would tell his friends to stop by and see the new place for rent 😆
Great idea! I bet Dave would love that too! Willie :)
Great finds, what a lovely woods never seen so many beautiful primroses. Really interesting history of 'Jenners' what a stunning building.
Seriously, that deserves a dance!
Another fantastic dig eh Willie?! Awesome finds!! Fab video ☺️☺️
Great dig!! Love all of your finds!!! Thanks for the history on the Jenners store, so fascinating. Thank you for sharing!!
*As usual Willie a really enjoyable video. Restoration project amazing. *As usual ''off to see Sarah''! Cheers, John.
Thanks John - glad you enjoyed it! Hope you enjoyed Sarah's video too. Willie :)
That ginger is a beaut! Blob tops are the best. You did a "cracking" job of that resto too!
Thanks Richard. Loving the bottle related puns, my friend! Willie :)
Love the ginger beer ,but loving the dance ,your getting more creative in dance lol....great finds too..
Wow, treasures above the ground as well! Beautiful.
Hi Alana - indeed! Willie :)
I love the History Bits!!!
Still lovin' your videos. Especially appreciate "The History Bit". Thanks. Suzy AZ USA
So many beautiful finds!
Nice ginger, poison and jams.Terrific hunt
What a great video. Love all the pottery pieces and especially the ginger beer. Your repair on the stoneware jar was spot on. So nice to see such a great find made even better. How lovely to receive such a wonderful gift in the mail. Just shows how you have touched the hearts of people world wide. I hope that you realize what a wonderful dog you have. His bid for attention squeaking his toy while you were filming made me laugh. Have a great week and please keep safe. ❤️🇨🇦
Thanks - glad you could join me on and that you enjoyed another adventure!
It was lovely of Ivan to mail the gifts to us! And yup - we definitely realise how amazing Jack is. He is quite possibly the most loved and pampered dog on the planet! 😊
Well done...much love from Wisconsin
Thanks. Much love from Kirkcaldy. Willie :)
First rate repair Willie! And a great dig!
Willie...have you considered jamming with Craig from Scottish mudlarks. It be a great collaboration
Another awesome video full of belters, loved the repair job it looks amazing. Take care and thank you for sharing 👍👏❤️🌈i get the rainbow parrots in my garden occasionally and they really are beautiful 🌈🌈
Nice repair work on the ginger beer. Well done.
Fantastic video! Lots of cool stuff! Nice restoration, and neat gifts from Australia, too! Willie, can you sweet talk Sarah into painting a portrait of Dave?
Fantastic dig and Sarah what lovely gifts!
Just getting a well needed bottle dig ❤ can’t wait till you find some in beautiful Skye ❤
Excellent job on that crazing
Thank you
Blob top ginger with the stopper, can't get much better than that
Absolutely! Found an even rarer one since, but needed a resto! 😊
Pretty good haul this time. Love when you show the repairs at the end of the video. ☺️
Beautiful well done
Thanks.
You always find the coolest stuff! Love how u repair the damaged ones too so amzing! 😀😀😀
Thanks Linda. If you repair the broken pieces, I see it as saving it twice! Willie :)
Just a suggestion on your repair at the end. Before you paint over the Milliput, put a light coat or two of white Gesso as a primer. It will cover the color of the putty and also give it "tooth" so the paint will stick. Don't want it to flake off in he future. Water the Gesso down so that it isn't thick. Do light coats. Avoid paint brush marks. I think you did really well. White and shades of it are one of the hardest colors to match. I do ceramics restoration in my hobby. Love your videos. Laura in Western NC, USA.
Fantastic! This is exactly the sort of thing that this community needs - sharing of knowledge. I appreciate your comment. Thanks. Willie :)
Well done!
That's fresh ground coffee!
Those cream pots are incredible.Love to see your whole collection of them.
Glad you like them! Willie :)
You found so fantastic finds Willie and you did a fantastic job of repairing your Sanna jar . And I love the bottles you were gifted from oz . Keep up the good work looking forward to your next video 🤗
Thanks Pauline - glad you enjoyed another show. It was very kind of Ivan to send us those gifts.
The next video really is something quite special... no spoilers though! Willie :)
amazing job on the crazing!
Awesome ginger beer booty dance brother. 😬
A new ginger beer bottle and you didn't dance!
Hello! I've also been watching recently this American bottle digger (Below the Plains), and noticed that they've been using a tarp to put the soil into from the pit... I think it's a good idea... Probably, so that it will be easier to dump the soil back to the pit... No need to shovel them all back... Enjoying your videos!
I sure hope you take home some of those wonderful spring flowers you keep seeing. But that also must mean there are lots of places you just can't dig.
I do take wild flower stems home for Sarah and my mum sometimes, but not from the bottle tip. I get them on dog walks with Jack. And I don't dig up the wild flowers ever. That's why they are totally untouched in the videos. I wouldn't want to dig them up, plus the landowner wouldn't thank me for it I bet! Willie :)
Another great video thanks for posting boy i sure wish i had access to places like you do period by the way yes that is what was left of our harmonica it was called a tremelo
awesome dig, loved watchinh ya dig that ginger out,,, i did that on my bottle video 17.. first ginger and i dug all on cam!! :P very cool the fix job on the pot at end... awsome job
I think you and Sarah both need bigger shelves lol, you didn't have a lot of space left after you placed your newest ginger beer!
I loved the skittle bottle with the swirly lines running through it, and its always good to see you find an intact, tiny blue poison. 🤗
Ha! I think you. might be right! The skittle bottle is great - it sold immediately after the video went live! It'll have a new home in the USA soon.
Sarah is so keen to find her first blue poison. Will need to bring her along digging next time. Willie :)
I love all the primroses, I wish I could get them to grow well here in Virginia USA, I've had a few but they die on me.
Awesome job with the fix!
Thanks. Came out ok. I’ve since done a better repair, but it’ll be 2 weeks before it comes out on video. 😊
Wonderful finds I'm sure that it was in Jenner's that me and my two brothers brought a Campbell Clan badge, we asked an assistant about it she replied with Miss McDonald can you help these Campbell's out. At the look we got it's amazing we got our alive with the badge😁
Dancing with cow bell!
I know, right. I regret not dancing now...
That wee skittles a belter m8 we got few perie btls
But not skittles great dig buddy nice cream pot
Hope to get out sun
On a dump weather pending gl n hh
👍
blue bot woot ! great start :) .... 2nd belter dance had me in stiches lol - nice ginger beer though . great video again :)
I think I got a bit carried away with the GB belter boogie! Ha! Willie :)
You should see if your local community markets and pop up stalls at the local train station, you can sell your goods at. Carlisle Cumbria train station do pop up stalls, & local community markets, people selling all different products
Every time you do your better dance I have visions of you doing that in a dance floor down the local nightclub 🤣
Maybe a few years ago… not really into clubbing these days. More chance of finding me dancing in the woods… as you do..! Willie 😊
Hi there, saw you with Gail and Alex and here I am following you now.. I have relatives in Kirkcaldy too 😊
You do? Are they interested in history? I'll happily bore them in the pub with chat about old bottles! Willie :)
That Boot cash Chemist was a double belter, damage or not! The cream pot is a beaut! Love the pipe! Of course, you’ll see from my order, I really love the Perrier bottle. Did you add a few more line to your belter song? The video was great as always. What beautiful flowers!
I live in Edinburgh, I had no idea Jenners is closed 😅
Here in the United States that style of swing top we call a bail top.
Can't decide what's the bigger belter - the Ginger Beer or the Jenner's lid... both amazing :) Confection of Senna restoration was great!
I reckon someone will want that for their Jenner’s bed pig that’s missing it’s top, so it’s in the ‘Box To The Future’ (as I call it!) for the day it’s needed!
And thanks - was a toughie with all that crazing. Not my finest work, being honest!
I always love watching your channel and all your videos! The stuff you come across is magnificent. I have a question though wouldn’t your skittle bottle be worth more money than the rest since it has swirls of a different colored glass all three it?
Put crazed bottles in water with denture cleaning tablets.
Are the primrose native there on the tip or planted to hold the soil? Either way, what a pretty site to see on lunch break. That factory damaged/glazed pot is so unique it should be a real collectable? Great job on the Boots the Chemist pot. Nice!
Curtains for them 😂
If at first you don't succeed try try again
Hi - I love your videos! Can you explain what “fresh ash” means? You’ve mentioned the layers when you dig, but I don’t understand what they mean. Thank you!
Hi Anne,
Fresh ash is where the finds are made. In the old times, they threw away their household waste with the fire ash - so when I'm talking about fresh ash, I mean that it hasn't been already dug by another bottle digger - fresh ground. I hope that helps. Willie :)
Ok, so the ash is from household fireplaces or stoves - I was wondering where it came from. So, is that why some glass bottles are melted when mudlarkers find them? Or were bottle dumps set on fire periodically? I am not familiar with all of this - I just love treasure hunting! I went mudlarking on the Thames on a trip to London and I have been fascinated ever since! Thank you for your response!
Sometimes you’ll see trash cans/bins referred to as ash cans in old novels.
Met you at b. O. Earn. Can we see your pit check. Finds. Eddy Berry and Nick Clegg from the out side stall.
Hi Eddy,
Good to hear from you again.
I only have the one pit check that’s actually a pit check… it turns out the others are all theatre tokens. I thought they were pit checks because they say ‘Pit’ on them. But it refers to the pit area of the Prince Of Wales theatre, not a coal mine.
If I find any more I’ll let you know. I’ve got both your cards to get in touch. Fingers crossed I find some more.
Willie 😊
I bet that pipe broke and they taped it and it was like a paper table in it the other part of it is probably in the hole somewhere
Are those snails in that tree?
Yeah - all huddled together! Like a wee snail tree party! 😊
I thought you were saying there were beards on the bottle. I thought oh different but hipster and trendy. Doh, birds not beards!
I know someone who is gonna be sad she didn’t come digging.
Yup… I try not to talk about blue poisons too much. I’m hoping more than she is that she finds one soon! 😊
G😮😅
