Beautiful finds! Wonderful to see that familiar place. My mother started spending time there in the 1930's, I started spending time there in the 1960's. The site of my near drowning at the age of 3. The site of my first kiss. Some waterskiing in the 1970's or so. I am surprised you found so much glass and not ceramic bottles. Looks like you are just finding the tip of the iceberg at this location. I am sure you will find a lot more on future dives. Looking forward to seeing more.

@@bottlesfromthedeep Yes, our whole family is very sentimental about that area. In a footnote in history, it all started with my grandmother's search for contraband eggs during WWII. She took the train from Glasgow into the village and then started knocking on farmhouse doors looking for eggs, because of the rationing. She had 4 children to feed. Then she found a farmhouse to let, and starting staying there for extended stays. Even though we never owned property there, it was the family's second home in may ways. My mother and my aunt continued to visit every year until my mother's passing in the 1990's. Sorry for the tangent. Just a stroll down memory lane.

obtain a thin piece of metal rod and bend the end over at 90 degrees then tear up a green kitchen pad into thin strips , push them into the neck and u got a handy tool for the hard to reach places inside bottles, thats what i use anyway. personally i would say the penny ink was the best find then the crief aerated

Great stuff this,the Sturmey Archer hub will most likely have a month and year date mark plus the text style gives it a date. One has to ponder/ wonder how did all this stuff end up in there? Especially when it's in good order and clusters of items? The ink wells together that gate is worth retrieving if your alowed it's probably from some nearby farm you could measure gate post distances, or just match the style.how many resets have we been through out with the Old in with the New. 1851 is a date I settled at only to find more studied folks than me had arrived at that very date, so if your items congregate predominantly either side of that. Then maybe your search is another piece to this puzzle. Best to all.

@bottlesfromthedeep

That’s a great idea to measure some local gates. It’s hard to believe folks would throw such a lovely gate away. I like the idea of fetching it and cleaning it up. It is funny how we always reset as you say and then a few resets later yearn for the stuff of a few resets back. I’ll pop back to the spot soon and see what else is there!

Strange thought, some might think its silly, but do you think its possible that some of the stuff you are leaving behind now, either due to lack of personal interest or peer interest, could eventually turn into something that would be highly sought after in the future? I know it means nothing in the here and now, but in a few generations time, have you thought about the potential value some of these objects might have? Maybe I am dense and that is the whole name of your game, finding things that will have more future value, but I see real time value in the stuff you get so I doubt its that

@bottlesfromthedeep

Hi Tommy, not a strange thought at all. It’s something I think about all the time when hunting. We are very much looking for stuff that around 100 years old and older but as you say in 50 years some of the stuff is going to look very appealing. I suppose it’s nice to leave stuff for the treasure hunters of the future but good to clear away dangerous or polluting rubbish!
