Thank you Tom. Mending the bottle with that gold/copper looking glue when you don't wipe off the excess is beautiful. I think it would look equally as stunning mending ceramic.🤩

the blue glass looks like a fish's fin, it could be lovely in a bowl with water on a windowsill - the way the light plays through the water and the glass is a quiet delight I think. Also, if you ground off the clear glass, piece near the tapered part and it would make a beautiful ornament or necklace. I fear tumbling would round off all the sharp edges that catch the light so well - but you are the lucky one with it, after all. So glad to see your videos as always!

I have dug bottles since I was a child with my dad. Just a few thoughts, Living in Maine in the U.S. most of our bottles have what you call sickness, as our soil is very acidic.

Thanks Lise, I do like some glass sickness, particularly the all over iridescent variety. But for window displays, I prefer glass that lets the maximum light through. I was careful to not tread on the walls near where Dave was having a scrape, I think they were well dug, and unlikely to collapse without extra weight on them, or serious rain fall. Dave himself has been in a bottle hole collapse, so he's more aware than most of where the dangers are. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season too. 🙂

Love the kint suki (?) Bottles. I have a beautifully hand made bowl that unfortunately broke awhile ago and kept with hopes of repairing some day. I will be trying this technique it should be quite pretty. You make it look easy to do which has given me encouragement to try it. As for the blue glass on the broken clear, could you cut off the clear glass with a tile saw, cut the bottom and polish the bottom of the blue glass then make it into a night light by shining a light through the bottom of the blue glass? I think there is lighting kits you can get on Amazon that are for resin. In fact if you embedded it in resin you probably wouldn't need to polish any shaping of the glass to a shine. The light shining through the shaped blue glass would look amazing. It would be a shame to put it in a rock tumbler and loose it's pretty shape because while the color is pretty it would come our as a shapeless lump of blue glass. 💙 Ultimately what you do with it is your decision and I am sure that no matter what you do it will be lovely

Hi Tom. I know people are using cement mixers to tumble glass or even tile bits...

You mentioned you may be open to more scraping in the future. May I suggest that as you are a rather tall man, you invest in a collapsable rake? Would save your back and a good metal one would be relatively light. The beautiful blue glass on clear glass made me think of a paw. Perhaps for one of your creations?

26:39 This is just my opinion, Tom, but I don't think that piece would do well in a tumbler. Far better to gently chip off the clear glass, and then hand-smooth the edges with emery cloth, or some such thing. It appears too delicate to be tumbled successfully. 😁 Edit: I got the idea, upon first seeing that piece at the dump, that it was like a peacock's tail. On 2nd inspection in the round-up, I also thought it was reminiscent of a mermaid's tail. If that provides any inspiration for it's upcycling, I'm glad. See you next time. 😊🤗💛👍

I gave up picking them up after collecting about 500 after finally realising that there wasn't much I could do with so many of them - even though I do create artworks with clay pipe remains.

A very interesting dump and finds! I too am sad to see the trees topple because of the bottle diggers, sad that when they are done with a section they don't take the time to fill them back in so the trees roots won't be kept being exposed.. I am curious, I notice the types of vegetation that seems to sprout up around the holes, perhaps it's natures attempt to heal the roots? Have you noticed this? Like the garlic mustard plant, it tends to stop fungus and such that attack the roots. A wonderful video as always :)
