There's something stunningly beautiful about multiple generations of modern humans getting so thrilled by finding artifacts of their ancestors.

We have something like that in NY, it’s called Dead Horse Bay for obvious reasons. And in the late 1800s, early 1900s the beach was covered with rubble from torn down buildings and people thrash. Now you can find old bottles, dishes, sometimes silverware, jewelry. Lots of cool stuff.

Watching this video today, brings so many happy memories for me. My brother and I used to spend hours digging in old dumps, in Idaho USA, sadly lost my brother in horrible accident this year. Thank you for bringing back the memories, love all finds today. I would love to have that insulator to ad to my collection.

I love the wonky bottles. They remind me of the story of the wonky donkey, you should find it here on KZread your nieces may enjoy it. It has to be the one where the Scottish granny is reading it’s very funny. Have a great week. G

Yes, I was impressed with her finds too. Glad Mum decided to keep some of her finds. I thought her stuff was the best. I do like the historic bottles, but I would much rather keep the bits & bobs of tile, glass, & ceramic pieces that Cecilia found. I would have gone along on this trip, & kept all the pieces that the mudlarks threw back!!

You guys are all sweet and kind to each other, really impressive. Wish I lived there and was part of the club. The little girl has a good eye! Her mom should help her make something from her finds!

The striped tile looks like it may have come from a swimming pool changing room.

Definitely some kind of wet walkway, my mother's drive and entryway have tiles like that one.

A fun and interesting treasures. The beauty in bottle designs of the past lends knowledge that older times art was as important in design as the product itself.

Bottles of white stuff were used to keep white canvas tennis shoes (plimsolls) white. It was also used for white canvas fashion shoes, only worn in summer.

That’s got to be the best bottle dump I have seen on all of these channels!

Gordana Zakula, there was a major recall/class action suit filed against Lumber Liquidators ( I think) due to the obscene amount of formaldehyde and God-knows-what chemicals in the laminate flooring their corrupt Chinese suppliers were sending them. People were falling ill left and right. I saw an expose where the reporters filmed undercover in the Chinese factory. The factory owner just slapped on fake “Certified Compliant With State of California Regulations” stickers on the box and called it good. The American CEO was fired for not doing quality control. Same thing happened with cheap Chinese Gypsum Wallboard aka Drywall several years back - people got sick from the poison those greedy bastards made the wallboard out of.

The decoupaged pieces are remarkable,I am very impressed. None of this would be possible without the work of a little girl’s magic wand😊

I've dug loads of stuff out of my garden, very addictive. You stick to a 1 metre patch and just when you gone down 2 feet, dug out the edges and are just about to stop, you find an amazing piece of blue and white! Most sentimental has been the Victorian ladies boots, knowing they've been up and down our stairs.

I have got an old wooden toy horse from the 1700s or possibly earlier, in good condition. The remainder you found looks to me like it could have been similar. If you want to restore it Icould send you a picture.

Your dumps/tips are the best★I won't be able to tear me away from that dump! That bird feeder can still be used with some imagination :)

Love the things you are giving away😍then, ooooh, another poison bottle😁great site for bottles and surprises

I wish I could see your blue bottles collection ... I have a blue vases collection (around 60 !)

THIS IS WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF! I live in the US and we had a dump that was pushed over the edge of the saltwater Bank for forever so you could just use a paintbrush or anything and hang off the cliff by the Bramble if you had good gloves on and the finds were incredible! Things were whole things were untouched because of the way that they were entombed. My brother would find amazing things and his friend would find amazing things and sell them. I got to spend a whole day there but I don't know where my things went it was so long ago. I finally got to go back there and it took my mother-in-law to be and I a very long time to get down there there was at least 12 in of glass Pebbles ringing as they touched each other from the water rolling them. Keep in mind this is on a quiet day when the tide is calm. The glass goes 5 ft deeper more and there's a shipwreck out swimming range for the divers to go through from Asia somewhere. The sad thing is is when we finally got down there and we were getting ready to start picking a man came and shooed us off the property! In Washington state you can't usually own private . You can own the on the land above it but down below by the water usually cannot be owned. But he insisted, the first time I heard the woman I was with swear and boy did she let go! We could see thousands of things around us delicate little vases. Cups teapots dolls complete it's endless! Alas that time is over so I'm going to have to save and come visit you as soon as possible I can just see me trying to get this home to the US? There must be a way all the dumps in the u.s. in my range are gone. I literally dream of this. I crave doing this I would be there for days I'd camp out. Thank you for this I stayed awake an hour longer just to watch this so it's now almost 4 a.m. Perry history I promised myself to go to sleep early. thank you for another fabulous video! even if this one did hurt a little.

Gomez addams you should go back to that place but to the tax office and see if the land is actually owned someone may be trying save it all for themselves and get in writing from tax office then go to local police and get permisdion to be on that spot of land and if its owned go to owner and ask to go there to preserve and not make a mess and possibly offer to pay 20 bucks for a few hours of looking to preserve the past...i would do that ..Good Luck.

Wowee , Simon, even a regular January finding-day is a great one for you ! Possibly other good finds there, where you were. congratulations for unearthing and bringing the caudle cup back to life. It is so well-made for a pewter item. Love those brass pieces too. Exceptional work !

Wonderful video! How nice it was an hour long! Loved it! ❤️ Thank you for sharing everyone's finds...take care!

I wouldn't be able to carry enough of them out!! The bottles you guys tose out as plain we dig all day just to find one! Lol

Excellent video. Amused by the newspaper date-search audio timing..."Aaargh! F'd it up......bleep!!" What a fabulous group of people, and fascinating finds!

I think if I had found Monica's horse torso I would put one of the creepy doll's heads and four doll's legs on it. The Art Nouveau bottle does look very much like something Lalique could have made.

I think the diagonal is the bottom on the tile. Great Penny Lick.

Love this dump , it just keeps giving up treasures👍so much

I found this episode particularly entertaining as there was a “Dick Whittington pipe” discovered by your young friend. The name immediately rang a bell, as my mother, who was born in Brighton, was an actress before and during WWII, and played a major role In the Pantomime “Dick Whittington” at The Finsbury Park Empire in the early ‘40’s. Her stage name was Rosalie Allen and the male lead was George Jackley. I’m trying to attach a copy of the program, but having no luck.Also, I’ve been a Metal detecting treasure hunter for 30 years here in CA and am often envious of the great antiquity of the items dug in Britain. Keep up the great mudlarking. I’m living vicariously through you! Roger in California.

Simon, I've viewed an reviewed this video more than a couple times, since you posted it nearly a year ago. This remains in my top five favorites of your vids. Great day of finds, with a good group and wonderful weather, which doesn't happen every day in England. So many fun and unusual finds,, though I'm partial to the quirky leg with foot, that has the turned-up toed. Does anyone in the group have YT channels, Si?

Lots of history in those hills. Good job.

Well I think Celia found the best stuff defo the prettiest items 🥰

Those white milk glass marmalade jars are perfect for holding utensils to cook. I would want the real jars, with no decoupage. The real milk glass is lovely. But Si you do what you want but it's better natural. I am like you Si I love the aqua glass the best. It is just beautiful.

@RMBlake007

@JennyWinters, I too prefer the jars "as is". I decoupage things & love all sorts of paper arts, but I can think of a million things to do with those little pots. Also, the newspaper bits; after being dried out, are coveted by paper artists, scrapbookers, junk journaler's, etc. They will buy just the newspaper bits alone. So @Si-Finds Thames Mudlark, if you don't have the time to decoupage, consider selling the paper on your Etsy. Google "ephemera" & you will discover an entire niche market. Included in "ephemera" are newspaper, ticket stubs or brochures, postcards, old maps, address books, ledgers & logs, receipts. Yellowing, staining & torn pieces are part of the charm!!

That black glass bottle you wondered about that didn't have a seam is what is called a turn mold bottle. They were blown in a mold and then they turned it while the glass was still molten . Usually there are faint concentric rings on the bottle which indicate it was turned. Turn mold bottles could not have embossing on them they always had paper labels. Bottles like the one you found usually contained some kind of spirits. Love your videos Si. It's inspiring me to do some digging again.

Hi I just live east of Toronto and in ajax by duffins creek there a few places along the creek that have really old bottles dumps and also a old vintage house u can dig for bottles and stuff I've found some nice bottles and a few silver rings with my metal detector also missauga has a few .

Always a pleasure to join this group at the bottle dump. You can be assured of laughs, learning lessons, and lucky finds. Monika's dream find was found -- the penny lick -- but by Cecilia. Flo was trying her best to leave things -- except those were her daughter's best finds...and Mum relented. Anna's dilemma was what to leave behind but changed her mind when Si pointed out it could all be gone. Mike has an incredible eye at the dump, too...only the best finds. What an amazing day all around. Thank you for taking us along to visit a true treasure trove.

Awesome finds. Wish I was there digging

The “pedestal” looks like one of those things that the Staffordshire pottery made. It would stay on the home mantle piece and when the “man” would get home, he’d put his pocket watch in the opening at the top and then it would look like a miniature grandfather clock. It’s difficult to tell from the video, but that’s what it reminded me of. My friend had one in her Staffordshire collection 🙂

I cried when you left the insulator. There’s a huge market for them!

The concave coloured glass bottles with the writing would make great soap dishes in a bathroom !

What GOOOD FINDS !!! ILOOOVE the dumps !!!!! ❤ ❤ ❤

So cool, that Little Boy Blue plate piece, goes with the “the sheep’s in the meadow, the cow’s in the corn” piece you guys found before. Now someone needs to find the piece that says “come blow your horn”. Actually not sure which video came first, but still. I love it!

I was thinking of Nic, for that pretty ceramic piece

Hi there I used to dig Victorian dumps way back in the the late 80' and early to mid 90's. we were able to find much bigger and undug sites back then and were finding "bears grease" lids including "Blue bears" "Warners safe cure" bottles in all colours including cobalt blue. "ginger beer bottles" with blue and green tops and the more common brown. "Codds" bottles, pointed "Hamilton's" in all colours, but we were mainly digging for pot lids. we used to have great finds in places like Shalford (guildford), elmers end and lots of other places. we used to find all sorts of match strikers, cream pots, poison bottles in all colours, including "coffin" and "skulls", as well as, Inks, clay pipes including "figural", dolls heads with glass eye's lead weights still in place and remnants of hair and the leather cap the hair was stitched to. we would go to the town halls of various places and look in the old records looking for signs of old dumps and believe it or not the biggest giveaway was people complaining about the smell coming from the newly established dump. These nuisance sites were quickly clay capped and left undisturbed for a 100 or so years untill we started digging them. You would have loved it back then because we were getting out so much it was unbelievable, but there must still be some early dumps still undug it's just finding them. I have recently found a dump local to me that was last used in the 30's but I don't know when it was started so I am going to check it out as soon as the weather gets a bit warmer and hopefully find earlier stuff than 30's. keep up the good work and I will carry on watching. Good luck Neil

so years back o was digging some footings really old vicarage and I had so much fun finding the bottles and pipes. I would love you go to a place like this with my missus and kids

OK, glass grinders seem to start at £150 over there (yow) so an alternative is diamond bits in a Dremel rotary tool, with the piece held gingerly in a shallow dish of water to keep the glass cool. Or maybe you know this already!

i had a lovely adventure going with you today i cant wait till we go again and descover all the great things you all find right along with you!!! cheerio!

Always a treat going with you guys to the bottle dump! Love your creations!💕

Love what you did with the newspaper.

The green , seamless bottle toward the end of the video looks like it was created in a turn mold. Usually a turn mold formed bottle will have concentric circles or rings going around the bottle in a few areas like those near the shoulder of your bottle. Those rings are created as the blown bottle is literally being turned inside the mold. As the bottle is turned, the rings are created by granules in the paste that is applied inside mold prior to creating a bottle, or foreign particles such as sawdust, or imperfections in the mold surface. Once you have it cleaned, hold it up in the light and you might just see more rings going around the bottle.
