- On a patch of land which has never been dug before on a Victorian Bottle Dump in Sacramento my hopes and expectations were exceeded ten fold!! Treasure after treasure appeared from one of deepest holes I've seen in a while. This July I went bottle digging with @BottleNed and Paige and Jan. And didn't we have fun! Take a look and see what we found! Thank you to @BottleNed and to Paige for a great experience and for sharing their encyclopaedic knowledge of bottles with me. Thank you too to Jan for being there and providing ice, water, lunch and the shelter without which we would have perished in the boiling sun!
Oh Nicola, you surround yourself with such wonderful people! Thank you for introducing us to such wonderful people ❤ Neds rendition of Shattered Dreams was the highlight of my day!
Set to record! Today 3rd Hour NBC 9am CST
Ned's boyish excitement was so fun to watch as he identified bottles that had barely shown themselves in the hole. And Paige's calm demeanor and steady shoveling in that heat were impressive, too. While you were talking to Ned, Paige just kept jamming her shovel into the dirt and heaving it like an engine. We didn't see as much of Jan, but she was busy in the background providing relief and finding buttons for Paige's pocket pile.
Nic, you're really great at finding kind, passionate people to share your interest in finding the past through prospecting human detritus. I'm so glad, as always, to have found you back when you were just getting started as a CZcamsr!

Thoroughly enjoying watching this - my Mum and I excavated a very deep ash pit we could date from around 1880 to 1922. This was in Pretoria, South Africa. A lot of American and English bottles etc.
Also dug ashpit in Pretoria at the Voortrekker Monument in the 1980's before it was closed off unfortunately.
Just a few months ago, I started watching the channel Below the Plains, a bottle digger who mostly digs in the Central US between the Rockies and the Mississippi. I love his videos because he shares the history behind his finds, with mini-bios of the businesses whose bottles he is digging up. I’ve sent him info in a potential site in Montana where my great-great-grandmother and her husband had a restaurant and hotel in the 1910s. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that he’ll go there someday!
I watch that as well! Really great
I'm in Northern Canada and we are so new here that the oldest possible find would be mid 1950's. I watch Tom Askjem digging those pits and love the way he gives the history of each item he pulls out...by the time my area is old enough to have any valuable finds they'll all be plastic junk and nothing with craftsmanship....
@@lucymcrae162find where old forts were.should be onion bottles in their outhouse pits.the fur trade went a very long time
BTP, love it!❤
@@dalebarth6954Right!
Wow great to see you on this side of the pond 😊great video 🎉🎉
I'm from California so this was particularly interesting for me but I was wondering, how did Ned get permission to dig that deep hole in the middle of a residential neighborhood?? And how did he know exactly where to start digging without running into any power, cable or sewer lines? Those were some amazing finds but I was getting a little worried the deeper that hole got that there might be a cave-in .By the way Nicola that 100+ ° temperature is just a typical summer's day in Sacramento, glad you survived and thank you for this fascinating video.
Oh wow I cannot tell you how much I LOVED this episode. Thank you for introducing us to these wonderful people Nicola, and what amazing finds. Just loved this. Thank you for all you do. x
Neds eyes are so smiley, Paige's smile is gorgeous, Jan is lovely and you Nicola are as exciting as ever. What a great day. Love that cone shape ink bottle. Love Ned's tshirt and Shattered Glass rendition.
Thank you Nicola for this unusual digging with friends in Sacramento...
Fortunately for collectors, it was glass in these days.. not plastic!
Awesome! I love Bottle Ned! What a great character and what a great dig!
Terrific installment! The participants interact so well and are just plain fun to watch. And Jay’s participating from his truck the video of which will be especially “way cool” for him from now on.
Oh Nicola you were in America! How wonderful!
Just watching this now and discovering BottleNed and Paige digging bottles and learning about American History out in California!
Thank you as always Nicola!
Hope you enjoyed your visit to the US! 😄 Vita
I loved this pièce de résistance, Nicola! I believe this was your longest video over the past four or five years, yet it went by in an instant. Ned, Paige, and Jan are delightful folks and Ned has an encyclopedic knowledge of bottles. Facinating trip through American history. Your travels to California have been in the midst of historic rains or heat, don't you think? Thanks for the excellent trip. We should be able to get you a clip of the Today show piece online for your files, Nicola. Really cool that you got to meet Matt Bradley. Thanks again!
Great adventure in Sacramento here in the US, Nicola. Lovely bottles, pots and companions. So many comments from non-USA people on lots of channels about their puzzlement on Americans love of ice. You have had a first hand experience on why Americans find ice so beloved. Lol! I'm so glad you had a great time and thank you for sharing your experience.
Awesome adventure for you !!! Such contrast from the foreshore but nevertheless it’s all so so interesting including the history - “shattered glass, shattered glass” 🎶 🤣😂💞💙💞👊👊👊
What an awesome bottle adventure !!! Ned & Paige very good at digging huge holes & finding awesome bottles !!! Jan did an awesome lunch for you all & bringing the tent & ice !!! Nicola, you did an awesome job at digging & finding you a beautiful Werner Safe Lung & Liver Bottle !!! Absolutely Beautiful !!! Loved this video. Lots of love !!! ❤️🙂
Friends for life ... absolutely wonderful people you've met through mudlarking .. so heartwarming Nicola 🥰
Ned and Paige are so sweet! Thank you for introducing them to us! Love all the finds of this trip.
Before he went into patent medicine, Warner did build burglar proof safes.
Truly amazing bottle adventure. Thanks for visiting and so happy you made it through and got home safe.
Nice to see you educate American TV viewers today, didn’t see enough of you!
Wow the TODAY Show is huge congratulations! And congratulations to the winner! Another great video Nicola thank you love the Safe Bottle.
Love Ned’s enthusiasm, and great knowledge too, and the song of course - could have done without the spider though😬
Yay! It's so awesome you made a pitstop in my hometown of Sacramento!❤ Lots of history from the Gold Rush days . 😊
Next time you come to Northern California, maybe consider doing a meet and greet somewhere. I live in Lodi which is in between San Francisco and Sacramento. Not very far from either. I would have gladly driven to either town to meet you. As I'm sure many more of us in California that watch and love your videos. Just a thought....
I definitely will Patricia!
OMG! I watch both of your channels! What a treat!
Have Bottle Ned and Dirty Secrets of Scotland ever met? They're like brothers from another mother!
Ned is so knowledgeable in his history of the bottles. And also about the state.
Wonderful to see you in California. I live in San Diego CA
Ive been watching Ned for about a year and I live his passion and humor and Bots! Did you meet any of his cronies?What a great match! Simon would have fun
Simon would be in his element!!❤
Ned is awesome! Great video some amazing bottles, especially the amber Safe Cure quack med. Hope you visit So. Cal. some day, we got the ocean breeze and better Mexican food.
So exciting to see you in America and doing a very American dig at a dump looking for bottles.❤❤❤
Great Digging With GREAT people😎
New quest! Find a Warner’s Safe with a London mark. Good luck 👍!
Ahh bless.. I had a little giggle when you mentioned the initial unknown as to the bags of ice - here where I live in Adelaide South Australia, bags of ice are a common staple on the weekly shopping list 😄Great episode as always and such wonderful historic finds. Thank you Nicola xx Teresa ❤🇦🇺
Hi fellow Adelaide person. Unless you drink a lot, the ice is great to use in bird baths, animal shelters etc. Good knowledge from Ned.😊
What an incredible bottle dig Nicola!! Can’t imagine digging in that heat! Thank goodness your friend supplied lots of ice and water!! Love the safe bottle you were able to bring home. Much love from DeeAnn 🇺🇸
Wow. That was wonderful. I’m so glad you did this and had suCh good luck. Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure. Bottle Ned , Paige and Jan gave a great knowledge and fun and food. Wonderful day!!!!!and wonderful bottles!!!!!!
You DID have a great day's dig in Sacramento. 👍
Nic thanks for this video is very happy 😊😊😊😊
This was a terrific video! ❤ Can’t wait to watch the clip on “TODAY” on Thursday!
Remember the heat when your out on a cold day and you can't feel your fingers or feet 🙂lovely finds in a hole at the side of a road!
Nice finds! I lived in Sacramento from 1983 to 1995.
I love this you and bottle ned ...i never would have thought
Old Dr. Holloway. Would love to have one of those. Enjoyed this episode.
I saw you on the CBS Today show this morning! You are an international star!!! Very cool!
Haha 😄 thank you ❤️
Ned's musical interlude was perfect in every way.
Very moving to see those US & European from the same era bottles coexit under the earth for so long and witnessing the excitement of Ned! And such knowledge! A very exotic video, very enjoyable, thanks guys!!
Fantastic @BottleNed enthusiasm us so catching x His knowledge is amazing x
Absolutely Brilliant Buttercup !!!!!!
You Are Now An International Star !!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! You are all so excited with every find that I find myself grinning throughout!
One of the most different episodes you have done , refreshingly good even though they are (bottles)😁😁😁🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Wow so fun Nicola, Ned, Paige & Jan! I live in a Gold Rush town up in the Sierra Nevada foothills & my sis lives in Sacramento. I’ll have to share what I’ve learned here & get to digging in her backyard! 😆
Capers were the standard accompaniment to boiled mutton (3-4 year old sheep meat and quite large and fatty) in 19th and first part of 20th century. Preserved in vinegar, capers made a sharp tasting sauce that undercut the fatty texture and strong flavour of mutton. I love that green bottle. Great video with wonderful expert.
Thanks for the details on why capers would have come in such a large bottle. Mutton is mutton! My university used to serve it saying it was lamb. Suspiciously sliced very thin. Everyone around the campus decided they disliked lamb and prob think it to this day. I gave up trying to explain it to everyone! Thx
Brilliant! Thank you Nicola for sharing this episode with us. Paige & Ned knew some info, and what a refreshment centre Jan was...Take care and love from Norfolk. x
Great. Thanks! You were all pretty chipper for working in 105 degree heat. You look even happier than usual since your return.
Wozer what an amazing hilarious fun fun time! Thank you so much!
Nice tan, Nic! 🌞
So much fun you had! Lovely people, food and 🥵 heat!
What a beautiful bottle the Warner’s Safe is. Great video and very educational too.
I've dug many Warner's Safe Cures over the years, in the UK, never get fed up of digging them as they come in many different colours, shades and sizes.
I don't think I have seen you have this much fun in a month of Sundays Nicola. I am so glad you found a bottle of your own too! What a thrill! I enjoyed all the enthusiasm and camaraderie, it was just a ball of fun to watch. Sorry it was so hot in Northern California but it has kind of been that way everywhere. I hope you are home safe and sound. Best wishes, Janet
It Looks like you had a Fantastic time. 👍
Wow Nicola! You have all the fun! That dirt looked dry & compacted=ruff digging.😱The Safe bottles were like nothing I've ever seen...❣ very cool!
And thank you again ❤
Amazing expedition,
Really enjoyed it,
Thank you
Hello from Rochester, NY.
Oh I just love the safe cure bottle omg it's so gorgeous. I'm glad you had a good time here even with the heat . I wish I had known you were going to be here in Sacramento I would have come and said hi . Love Ned's shattered glass parody lol . Such a wonderful video today, really made my day . Thanks Nicola
What a fun dig this must have been for you Nic! I live just south of Sacramento so this was great to see ❤
Awesome bottlery, Nic! In sympathy, I watched part of it outside (central Texas) in 106F, 41C, the hottest day so far this summer at my house. I wouldn't dream of digging a big whole in this; I can only imagine how it felt for a glamourous Englishwoman!
What fun this was. I love Bottle Ned's videos and yours too, of course, Nicola!
First off, apologies for our nasty heat (I’m three hours west of there). Makes for misery when doing anything out-of-doors, and saps the enthusiasm and energy. Only empathy for all four of you trying to get through it however you could. An interesting dig! Second, am in love with that Safe pictorial bottle. Absolutely gorgeous. So, so glad for you finding and getting to keep that one! Third, Ned wowed me with his crazy identification skills while just a bit of shape was sticking out. Fourth, glad Jan had the foresight to prepare and provide you all such good care. Those comforts were what got you through. A fabulous and different installment!
Oh how awesome!!! I love Bottle Ned! This is too cool!!
Video: "Shattered Glass" was brilliant! Ned looks a little like Huey Lewis, so he would have fit right in as an 80s MTV star. Loved those old bottles, Nicola!
Gosh, what a fabulous video of your Californian adventure! This was a joy watch. The Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver bottle
is over the top cool and is truly a wonderful souvenir of your hot dig!.
Aww, dang, you were here in Sac, and I missed you. I bet our heat was hard to take for a Londoner!! 🥵
Enjoyed that. The spitoons are quite elegant.
Great dig with Bottle Ned. Some of those bottles are crazy amazing! Great job everyone!
Hey Nicola ✨
What an excellent adventure to be part of 🍾 with fellow enthusiasts Ned, Paige & Jan on foreign shores.
Loved the intro to the video, That has to be one of the best camp's set up for the dig ever......very wise to take the ice along to stop you all melting in the heat, as well as extra shade for the at risk bottle finds.
You looked like a glamorous gold prospector, the pink wellies would have been a tad warm to wear and you needed a hat and bandana.
Ned is a true character and absolute Oracle on all things bottles, just as you are an expert on clay pipes and Bellarmine jugs, amongst so much more. Paige, who reminded me of the Paramore lead singer Hayley Williams (I had to get that mention in), had no issues getting covered in mud......Jan had the best job sifting for 'the missed gold in the tailings.
When the chinese artefacts started appearing, you had practically dug down to China......Great Team Work
If CZcams has played a big part in you travelling the globe to meet up with fellow adventurers, then what a reward for all your hard work on this channel, and shared for our enjoyment.
“When you do talk to people, share what you are. Stop focusing on all the things that you aren’t. Stop focusing on all of the physical features that you think people won’t like about you. Stop focusing on your inabilities or lack of talent. Instead, focus on those physical features that you know people already love about you. Focus on your abilities and the talents that you do have. You have been blessed with all of the above, and that makes you worth getting to know in my book.”
Stay Safe as Always....take care xx

That's awesomr about the Today show! I get to see a smidge of it sometimes. I hope to see it! Sometimes, I think they take something very interesting & condense it down too much& make the segments too short.
But the saving grace is that you can see more on their website - so you can catch it there, Nikola!😃
omgosh that was brilliant thanks nicola, see you soon
Another great adventure! Excellent! 😊😊😊
Great video, Ned, Paige and Jan were awesome. Your Warner's Safe bottle is wonderful. I will try and catch the today show, I am normally at work then so we will see. Thanks Nicola.
"Whittled Effect." I've not heard that term before. I have several lantern globes that were blown in a cold mold that have a very strong "Whittled Effect". Love the term. At 67 it's so fun to learn something new that applies to your own collecting interests. I also have a few globes with a strong swirling pattern in the glass which I was told is also caused by a cold mold.
This dig was quite a change from your Thames larks; the gorgeous amber ‘Safe’ bottle was lovely reward.
Congratulations Cathy!🎉 That is a beaut of a bottle.😊
Yes you have got to watch bottleneck and Paige they do some fabulous bottle digging.. they are local to me which makes it even more interesting!!
I really enjoyed this one…it was a wonderful collaboration!
So so excited to see this one Nicola! I live in Sacramento! Would’ve loved to have met you while you were here! ❤
Another great video, what a wicked community you are part of, lovely people, great finds, thanks so much.
Loved the safe medicinal Bottle 👍 Ned knows his onions 🧐👌
Brilliant video Nicola, love bottle digger Ned and Paige, glad you met up. I'm a UK bottle digger and like the guys in the west so passionate. I think its 10 times better than metal detecting. You are always guaranteed to find something and researching the history is so exciting. Shout out to Si Finds, Digger Dave & Shovelling Shelley, crick diggers, below the plains, bottle digger tom & mudpies are some of my favourites. Thanks again Nicola xxx
I agree with you these are also my favorites!
Lmao!!! Shattered Glass Shattered Glass😅😅😅
Yeah the Johnny Hates Jazz comedy cover by Ned was Quality 😊👌
Where there is muck there is Glass really enjoyed this one. Amazed the interest paige had for doing such hard work in the heat.
Jay was sure a sweetie! GTSY out here in the West where we prospectors are! Blessings from rural So Cal❤ my spouse never misses a Nicola vid🙂
I love the bottle seal! How perfect it has my Initials!
Of course we had spittoons! Loved the conical ink XXX what a fantastic day with fun people. We need a ladies wot lark day out UK style now! With cake......
Hats off to you braving Sacramento hot dry weather! I was stationed at McClellan Air Force Base (now closed) and had many a nose bleed in 103F° heat! 🤧
I was excited to see the “AH” gin bottle seal get unearthed! Although not as exciting as discovering it myself, I found that same case gin bottle at a garage sale here in Tacoma, Wa a few weeks ago. Fully intact and beautiful. And I never would have recognized what it was without your videos. They are so educational and intriguing to me. Thank you for sharing your adventures!!🥰
Fantastic video, as always, Nicola. I'd love to see you collaborate with Adventure Archaeology.
Great seeing you in California. Even though we’ve had unusual hot weather here, you all found lovely old bottles. Amazing how deep you had to go down to find them. 🥰👍👍
