The condition of those neatly wrapped labels/paper is just incredible. Fab find! X

comptons gravy salt still available today

I’m enjoying the David Attenborough segments!

My local cemetery near me have deers, woodpeckers, kingfisher, herons, owls, grey squirrels, & other birds, we also have otters, which will be having pups soon lovely to see

Being a sheffielder this was really interesting seeing all those papers and googling where the items were made 🙂

Another beautiful video. I am just amazed that the papers were so vibrant after being wet for 100;years. Brilliant. I think if you put them in a plastic or wax paper sleeve, they will keep once they’re dry.

Very good digging video again Tom Love the labels in the poison bottle 👍🏻👍🏻

Cheers slab master 69 !!

Absolutely superb find with the flat backed poison, with the labels in the neck, amazing that the paper has survived all that time buried in the ground, the gravy salt label looked like it might have originally been wrapped around a small box or tin, someone had carefully folded those to just the right size to make a makeshift stopper! Bottles all cleaned up superb too!

Great video, well worth the wait. Never seen a Woodpecker, we dont have them down here, Lovely green KB, seems like you get one green for every 100 others. Then more green, what a dig. Green and blue, go so well on the shelf. Then good as new embossed and a spoon, one of the best digs we have seen. Relics as well, its a honey hole, youve found it amongst all the broken Marmalades. The unraveling was EPIC the trouble they went to, shows how DEADLY what was in it. They did not want it out. You reap what you sow old boy, well done.

Love that sort of stuff of finding things inside bottle 👍

As always, interesting and informative, thank you Tom.

the little advertisements are fab Put them in frames it will preserve them ... superb peices of history 👏

Incredible Find Tom 👍🏻

Love the wood pecker. I hear them but rarely hear them ❤

Nice seeing the Woodpeckers as they are hard to spot! It was probably drilling into the bark for grubs or insects. Agree with other people about laminating those old labels.

And like me I love to show the wild life. Part of the love for treasure hunting

Absolutely brilliant, the finds were amazing, love the ink, but as most have said, the "unveiling" was the best bit, history being shown before our very eyes, thank you. Musnt forget the rest of the finds, you had a good day after a bad start, the WOODPECKER was an added bonus. Waiting for the next instalment of the "Blair witch tip", don't be long before you go back. Thanks for sharing. It's another thumbs up 👍

Amazing finds Tom. I would want to laminate the labels

Mate I'm new to the bottles. I've watched alot of videos and brother yours is the best💯 the way to explain everything and then show us what the bottles look like cleaned up as well is brilliant.. 2nd night of bed time TV 👍👍 keep it up buddy

🤟Very cool mate🤟

Very cool finds❤

Real nice finds👍

Holy cow, nothing then, hooray! Id frame those ads and sell! So fresh!

Great finds!

Wow. I love this video. Great bottle finds!

I think whoever owned the poison bottle may have lost the original stopper and took the label off along with another close to hand label and a bit of newspaper to hand craft a new one, then all these years later you stumble across it 👍

Yes that's what I thought a improvised cork

The gem flat back was the gift that kept giving. The reveal was class Tom thankyou for sharing that moment in real time with us, it felt like you were opening up a present 👍🏻

Some lovely bottles there Tom. Also loved the chilled approach of the Police, well done to them. Might be an idea to use Nitrile chemical resistant gloves when handling those old poison bottles though; just saying.

Man you found some really top notch finds on this dig. You have found some really exquisite bottles and items on this tip. I love it.❤️

Awesome poison and papers. ❤

My late father used to say to us x5 sisters and a brother " when in town keep your window down " meaning to look around all the time as you don't know what is under your feet

good stuff as usual.that first poison.omg.

Those r amazing. Maybe u can laminate those labels or press them between to pieces of glass?

Awesome 👍👍

wow wat a find... thats saved history.. cool..

them labels too,how cool

From one of my local charity shops I found x3 stonewear inks £1.00 and x1 large one with cider vinegar with a picture & writing on £2.00

That poison bottle is exquisite Tom- well done 👏I say those labels will survive long term - they might go a tad crispy over time but I can't see why they wouldn't survive 😉

The first bottle KB beer ,in Australia we had a KB beer and we always said Kids Beer ,be nice to scan those labels with a printer

Another awesome video and simply amazing that paper lasted that long period try putting some white glue on a piece of white card stock and gloeing those labels down before they fall apart then when it's dried you can put flayer on top to preserve it

nice. I once dug up a hole box of beer labels. most were stuck together got some apart .

The poisons are fantastic!

Amazing and interesting finds today Tom. Great episode!

Thank you for unwrapping the papers for us, Tom! The little advertisements are very cool! Love the Kendall beer. Nice day digging, that coffin poison is gorgeous!❤️

Thank you and a big thank you for supporting my channel

Great video today Tom, you had some lovely bottles, those paper adverts/labels are awesome, they probably survived due to being in the bottle neck and being kept just damp enough not to crumble away, I think the Bird's bottle with the tiny spoon is my favourite, and the tiny teacup also, looking forward to your next video, take care and look after your hand in this cold weather . Ps, that woodpecker was a female, the males have a red patch at the back of their heads, we get them in our garden all year round, the young ones have red on top of their heads

just done a quick search,comptons are still going but now in cumbria first marketed in 1925 great find

Great Video, especially with the paper uncovering. Please try to glue them to a proper piece of white paper and put them into a shadow frame along with the bottle. It deserves to be displayed.

@@bottlediggertom It always amazes me when people dig up old newspapers that have been buried in the ground for maybe a 100 years & they are still readable! You'd think newspaper would have rotted away decades ago!

Imagine someone in 1905 folding and rolling up those bits of paper, thinking that they had information on them that was useful to do with the medicine, and all this many years later, past two world wars and atomic bombs and landing on the moon, and the twin towers, and the gulf wars- and then you dig up the bottle and unravel the notes. This kind of thing is one of the reasons I love your channel Tom!👍🍾

Thanks mate

That's a stunning find - those labels coming out of the ground as bright and colourful as the day they were buried; and delivered in a flat-back poison! The bottle with the dumpy body and long neck might be a Gordon & Dilworth Catsup.

Cool

A message in a bottle. Might be worth pressing them between tissue paper in an old book like you would flower petals to slowly dry them out and keep them in shape. Hope someone wasn't using poison and gravy at the same time 🤣

Layout on blotting paper press with a book would possibly preserve

It would have been good if you found a bottle of woodpecker cider whilst hearing the woodpecker.

Very good and informative vid ..the woodpecker footage was a real bonus 👍

LOL! I'm watching this from Southern California. We've been having Sleet & Snow, too! Crazy!

Like the embossing on the Jj Clayton.....like those flat backed poisons ...the amber one always appeal to me in those but never got one yet...

Flipping amazing Tom. Great finds for a baron hole. Great video too. Those advertisements are fantastic, it's such a shame that they're just going to disintegrate after surviving all these years. Thank heavens for photography to record the history. Keep on digging 🤙

I think You need a secretary to reply to all these comments mate, bloody hell it must take ages to read em all.. 😁😁👍

The labels are cool always a bonus to find that wee unusual piece .Cool flatback

What a mega find Tom. Just wonderful. If the labels haven’t disintegrated try to get acid and lignin free card and craft adhesive and try to stabilise them that way. Acid and lignin free is used because it won’t damage photos\ephemera in scrap booking.

had a thought,why not laminate them labels like asap

Copy that Gravy Salt label and you can wrap it around bottles

goes around a tin not a bottle!

Maybe you could coat the adverts with a spray varnish, then sandwich them in one of those wee clip frames from pound stores?.... Might be worth a try?? Not sure that it is the best plan. Spray varnish could also work for labels on bottles

Love the history you are unearthing , the link to your shop is not working though and i would love to purchase some of your bottles

Try laminating those labels, not sure if it would work, but its worth a bash.

Looks like the rolled paper was someone's attempt at a replacement cork

Those are some pretty amazing finds today, Tom! The brass ‘ door knob ‘ you found at around 11 minutes reminds me of the brass finials they used to use on the bed posts of the type of iron beds that were popular around the turn of 20th century. Nice work!

Great video matey☺️

Wow, fantastic dig. Loved the labels. Cheers.

Maybe whatever was is that bottle kept microbes away and without them around, the paper didn't get broken down

Hope you were able to scan it.

I'm wondering if you get a piece of paper if you can use the clear spray on those to preserve them

I dug a small pill bottle, the kind you normal throw back, but when I looked closely at it a saw what looked like a small folded piece of paper inside. When I broke it open it was full of clear fluid and the paper was a German 10 pfennig banknote from 1919. I still have it to this day.

That sounds fantastic

Sorry, forgot to ask, even though you have the labels on video & could probably print them off, do you think a diluted P. V. A solution or wallpaper paste, even sellotape could be used to preserve the originals, just a thought Tom.

Hi Tom, whose music is under your clean-up video, I'm curious about more music from this group.

Hi tom what you done with that birds lemonade as i collect them ones n i aint got that one

Hay tom ,is its cold over there ?
