I’m an old digger of 50 tom, and when I’m bored with youtube I always come back and watch your digging videos, I never tire of them!

Tom, Armour began its meat packing operations in 1867, and I do believe your bottle is circa 1875. I couldn't find an exact replica, but from what I saw, that would be about right. The torpedo bottle is just amazing, and I wouldn't be surprised if it came from about 1850. What a find! The hybrid Hamilton is a heartbreaker, for sure. Very nice old jars, inks, and beers. Your cave-in was quite scary, I'm glad you're okay! And I so enjoyed your end-of-the-day shower! So good to see you back, take care!😊💖

That little meat juice bottle is a stunner man ! Love quirky small bottles.

Loving your KZread channel. I did a bit of bottle digging in the 80s and 90s, so you're bringing back a lot of memories. Like the way you make sure the bottle is in focus once it's been extracted. Some lovely bottles there. I think I only uncovered a Hamilton once, and hardly ever found a Codd. The well-embossed black glass beers were always my favourite. Take care in those deep holes - I never went deeper than about 5 foot.

Great selection, Tom, shame the ginger beers were broken, and the hybrid!!!! Got an awful lot of promise there, looking forward to more excellent digs

I loved every second of that video sir - takes me right back to 30 years of bottle digging. Too old now (and porky!) Thanks for taking the time and effort to film it for our pleasure!!

I’m biting my nails off watching the way you force birth those bottles from the soil. They’re so precious, killing me. So envious as I will never unearth those beauties here in America

Tom with lockdown beard doing social distancing by digging a dirty big hole! Brilliant stuff. Great to see the joy when you found that early one. Another one soon please.

Enjoyed watching. I am new to seeing bottle digs so please explain them. Thx.

You don't know how long we have been waiting for a 'Come On!' beautiful soda.

Great to have you back tom

Incredible bottles Tom WoW I wish I could find a dump like that with such variety and age. That cave in looked knarley man keep safe out there

Beautiful soda bottle! So glad you've found something whole between all that broken pieces :)

I believe the glass piece you found with all the holes in it that fell apart we in the US would call a frog, to arrange flowers. It would go at the bottom of a vase

You found some amazing bottles! Your hard work paid off this time for sure! So glad you are back to digging bottles. I've missed your videos!!!!

Nice start to a new tip Tom with those bottles and Virol. Pity about the Mat pot but I'm sure you could make something awesome from it. It always amazes me how the thin bottles survive and yet the robust looking bottles are mostly smashed, well they are when I have been digging lol. Wow that Uranium glass is something I have never come across before and imagine finding a complete bottle made from that stuff, it would be awesome. Wow Tom that Soda Water bottle was a gem of a find in all that broken stuff. So glad you managed to find a good one for all that effort of digging mate. So sorry about the Hybrid Hamilton Codd mate. Been semi buried a few times myself and had to dig out a few friends from cave ins in the past, real scary stuff to think about if your digging on your own. I found a complete one of those Marmalade Jars and they have Initials on them which can give you the year date too from what I can remember Tom. That tip is going to produce some MEGA awesome finds in time for you and I would love to have something the same but guess time will tell. Take Care and Stay Safe

I just found your site through Chill Bill. Your work is fascinating. I love your lamps and would enjoy seeing more. Thanks for showing your bottles and jars.

Wow, love the little ink with the label on it great stuff.

Wow, you were half buried there, terrifying! Out of all the diggers I watch, nobody deserves to find nice treasures as much as you, you really work hard to get them. Great finds, good luck!

Hi Tom, as always your a breath of fresh air to all of us bottle guys! Especially on these annoying times. Keep on digging man, youre our super star. John from Gozo, Malta

Super finds Tom. I love those big jars with the applied tops.

Hi Tom, Good to see you back at it. Some really nice finds coming out of this dig. Stay safe..😎👍👍🐬

Beautiful old bottles as always ♥

Armour is still in business today, an immense meat processing company. Very old bottle. Stunning finds, really enjoy your channel.

Nothing better than getting onto early tip, but i feel your pain with that broken hybrid. Keep at it mate & thanks for posting.

The most exciting video yet!!!!

Nice to see new videos. Awesome bottles!

I loved the Celtic design on the label of the little ink pot, nice to get a glimpse at the rare branding

Looking forward to seeing the next dig on this tip - hope you can pull out a whole hybrid!

Those large jars would look beautiful in the kitchen with wooden spoons in them. Great finds!

That was a great dig, what a variety of interesting glass. It’s Uranium glass which is what they used for nuclear weapons 🤦‍♀️ strange to think they made radioactive glass. There’s another type of glass worth looking out for it’s called dichroic glass which when first made 20’s-40’s were made into candle sticks or ashtrays, mine are sort of deco style (looks pale Lilac and changes colour to pale blue under fluorescent light (or visa versa), very cool. There’s also cranberry glass ( hence colour) but I guess you might have found some of that? Usually they are in organic shapes like sea urchins etc as they were often victorian table pieces, really nice...

Nice to see u back on the bottles

Nice bottle been at it30 years myself love bottle digging

Looks like you had another great hunt and pretty good finds ! Too bad you couldn't find the other piece of irridesant glass that looked like a gear . Looking forward to seeing your next video . Take care.

Nice quality glass coming out of that hole Tom . Congrats and thx fpr sharing

So happy to see you, cheers☮️🇨🇦

Brilliant tip! Love the soda bottle 😆

Tom -The decanter is a triple ring neck probably Stourbridge circa 1860/70

Great finds ! Good work.

Awesome dig Your the man ,well done thanks for the video from a bloke with envy in his eye's from Australia

You could send the broken dolls stuff to Kit and Caboodlers they would love it.

Welcome Back Tom. I have missed your digging videos. Glad you are safe and sound after that cave in. That scared me. That soda water bottle was stellar. Would you be able to post a video of some of the bottles from today, all cleaned up? I would love to see that soda water one all polished and displayed. Same with that little ink pot with the red ink in it. I wish I didn't live on the other side of the world. I would gladly take some of those pots and bottles off your hands. :) Thanks again for taking us along and showing us all your beautiful finds.

Beeping with Beppe I've seen tom say before you can contact him on Facebook and he will ship them around the world anywhere!!hope this helps!?👍🏻😀

One of the best bottles ive seen you pull out that round bottom hamilton...lovely early embossing...more good finds to come out of that early seam....hope this doesnt end in heartache and i dont mean broken hybrid codds but tip looks a fair size....

awesome stuff. That cool decanter looks like an old pontil one.

Great stuff. Must be difficult to leave when you have a very early seam to develop.

The uranium glass you found isn't an ashtray, it's to put under furniture like a coaster.

Me. Tom have you ever cut down and recycled any of those fine bottles where the neck is broken off? Other channels do and sell them for decent money for them not so much a good deal for us buyers but you might ask the group if they would be interested in those . Just a thought to get more money for you and your efforts. Thank you for an awesome video today….. I pray you have a blessed and wonderful day today.

You need get a pop up gazebo mate top finds love your videos

excellant video and a brilliant ending from bulgaria

Great video matey, onto a winner in this dump.

That's a great tip!

Great dig !!!

awesome dig.. wow.. shame about the hybrid .. glad you got that early sodawater thou. very cool

Brilliant, this made my day. :)

Just the ticket for a lock down Sunday. Thank's.

Hi that first bottle you got reminds me of an urn for ashes good job it weren't lol

Great finds..

Love it mate

Woo hoo, you are back!

That little ink bottle is the same as the fragment I found in my garden recently.

Would love to see your collection.

Bangin first find

They also use broken plates and different colors of broken glass to make stuff for their shop

Just look how beautiful the bottles were,the shape the colours etc and look what we thought we was upgrading to ugly ass plastic

Love the intro

Brilliant finds mate that 1 bottle was amazing. You was lucky with the collapse keep safe. Quick question what do you do with bottles you don't take with you?

I dig in a dump a lot like that . hard to dig but find good stuff.

Your a class act, great professional digger. How can i buy your finds. From usa

Love seeing the older tips👌🏼 Tom, did you make your own probe? The only ones I’ve found online are silly prices or in the US with jacked up shipping and import charges😒

Great stuff Look after yourself at least you had a scrub up after your day in the trenches

Very much enjoyed your video. The bottle at 33:14 looks really cool! What did you say it was? (watched the rest of the video, so now I know it was an ink. =) Did you ever find out more about it - brand? age? )

Yeses tom lad liked before I even have watched it coz I know it'll be epic already 45mins too. Thanks for uploading bro brilliant stuff👍🏻👌🏻😄😀🔥🔥🇬🇧 also tom if that really rare Hamilton bottle was whole what's something like that worth??!

Do you have a video of your collection? And do you sell any of your bottles I am interested in purchasing some

Great video, glad to see you're doing well Do you sell any bottles at all?

Any clues for places to dig around Liverpool?

Hi tom a question for you but you probs wont wanna say but here goes how do you go about finding out where these dumps are

Ashtray or castor cup for heavy furniture?

Do you not keep the glass stoppers that you come across? I seen where you tossed it down when the bottle was broken. Just curious.

That little bottle ('registered trade mark') was adorable! Did you keep it?

Hay mate have you got a Johnson of Liverpool bear bottle because that's the first bottle I ever found in 1993 when I started bottle hunting and collecting on the river I'm 39 years old now

Hello, how do you know where to go to get the bottles? Do you research first, if yes, old maps ? thank you.

Please tell me you kept the broken hybrid? I’d display that!

Hi tom. Have you still got the goffes soda water? How much are they worth out of interest? RSVP.

What about painting a sealant over the label

Couldn’t you use the broken potted meats in one of your lamps?

Tom do you sell any of yr bottles

It’s like an old friend saying hello. Thanks Tom. Juan

@@bottlediggertom Yep, that round bottom hamilton also came in blue, it predates Goffe & sons, they produced blue Codd narrow neck, blue Codd standard, Blue Codd bulb neck, amber Codd and green Codd, most of the blue Codds have been found outside of Birmingham, their factory was right by Birmingham city's FC ground and thats built on a 1870-1890 dump.

Shit that hybrid rare I've had a couple narrow knecks but shit

Hahahahaha every kids dream to drown his father!

to rough

It was making me cringe when you was using the pitch fork could have potentially broke that Hamilton yourself

i think you should be staying at home like every one is instructed to be doing instead of digging dont you ?
