Hello, My name is Ed and I love finding the lost and forgotten items of the past.
One mans rubbish is another mans treasure, so the saying goes, and it is true! People threw away and lost all sorts of lovely things, all there just waiting to be rediscovered.
I have always enjoyed finding things that have not been held for many years, with a combination of metal detecting, bottle digging and mudlarking it still surprises me what can be found. Unfortunately a lot of the time things are broken but I am always thinking of ways to make them useful again. Every piece is unique with its own little scuffs and scrapes that tell its story and even the crude manufacturing techniques of over 100 years ago giving the glass fascinating swirls, colours and air bubbles.

recently ive been digging up manor lawns and all i find is old pennies and stuff. it is great.
what signal was the farthing?
Really good video. i always like finding the old pennies because they are always in great condition.
Went in search of a new video from you Ed. Found this one, which somehow I had missed, but sorry to see nothing posted since. Hope all is well and some new material posted soon. Some great finds in this one - love the Cnut.
Thanks, I have been extremely busy and bought my first house so not had any time to get out but things are settling down a bit now so hopefully I will get out soon on some new land 🙂
Never seen an octagonal bodied ink, but with round base and shoudlers.
Thank you!
I use a small speed square to square up the fence on the tile saw.
What is the make and model of the cutting machine, or do you have a link? The ones I’ve found are a little to expensive to justify for the amount of use. Thanks
Whereabouts was this? I've always wanted to have a root around an old bottle dump and I'm South Wales based, but I've never actually known where to start looking. Do you need council/landowner permission to big, or is it more a case of 'just make it look back to normal and tidy at the end'
To each their own personally. I found taking a bottle cutter scoring the bottle and taking it over a candle flame and dipping it in ice water was the best for me. 9/10 came out perfectly clean cuts doing so and no rest of glass dust particles. I do sand them down on the edges but with a mask on just was warned too many times about that crap getting in your lungs. Good video though!
Excellent guide, thanks very much. I'm gonna try that with an angle grinder... I hope it works ok. 🤞
What about hand polishing them? Some bottles get pretty stained and cloudy after sitting in the dirt for over a century lol.
New subscriber, enjoyed the video. Good job 👍
Are they called blob tops ?
ggg
Hiya mate I saw that you don’t live in wales anymore and I love watching the videos and noticed that a few of the tips your digging was wales I was wondering if there’s any chance as you don’t dig them anymore is there any you can share because I love the hobby myself and am sturggling to find tips near me in wales. If not no worries and I love the videos 😁
Great find, Saxon pennies are always special. I wouldn't give up on the field just yet, perhaps digging and removing the iron in really bad spots and using a small coil to pick out finds in amongst it might pay off. I got my first Saxon penny that way, in amongst a load of scrap including a burnt out car!. Hard work but for a Saxon penny or something else special?
Great vid... you know your coins! Thanks for filming 👍🏼👍🏼
A great trip and a😢 Saxon coin! Thanks for sharing that and come back to this field.
Thanks mate, I think I might go back and have a go at digging the iron, perhaps there would be something interesting 😅
You'd be crazy to write off that field. That's a lot of good targets. Any one of the scrap targets could've been something good.
I honestly dug about 10 positive targets in about 3 hours and my ears took a beating listening to the iron tones 😅 I never really dig iron but perhaps this spot might be a good one to just dig all iron one day and see what there might be, maybe a sword or something cool? 😂
@@VintageParagonUk a smaller coil might be worth trying. It could help pick out targets between the iron. We have one permission if about 20 acres and we've spent 100s and 100s of hours there. Stuff still pops up now and then. I wouldn't stop going until there were no more signals.
Fantastic 11thc coin. Brilliant.
Thanks 👍
great hut pal! some special finds there, well saved
Thanks mate👍
FANTASTIC ED. CONGRATULATIONS..ALL THE BEST IN 2024….Great find
Thanks I hope you are well 😁
The hammered Saxon was a great find. The other coin was nice also. Spoon fragment was nice also. This field will remembered as a “hammered field” for sure. Good to see you again, Ed. See you on the next. Cheers Ed! 🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸
Thanks Martin, I am a lucky guy that's for sure 😊
Great stuffs, and loved the bells! Sweet of you to leave the field for someone else, but it seems to be the gift that keeps on giving!😅 Sheebs say, stay! 🌞
Well we will see 🙈 thanks Sheebs 😁
Nice finds Ed!!!! Don't give up on that field yet!!! Congrats Sir!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
It is so quiet now though, perhaps I should do a video of only digging iron there, I imagine there might be some cool bits
A bit late but Happy new year Ed! Awesome coins! 😃x
Happy new year to you too Amanda 😁
Nice coins! Hopefully a good sign for things to come this year.
All I need is more time 😅
What a fabulous coin! Absolutely great find.
Thanks mate 👍
What a great start to the year, congratulations on the finds 🎉👏❤️
Thanks Chris 😁👍
I've never seen anyone find that many hammered in one day! The 1000 year old one was incredible!!!!!
Oh it is a great spot I have really done well there
Insane. It is INSANE that you can find stuff like that in a played out field. Can I be you when I grow up?... grow down?... Let's just say I would give my left something or other to be able to find coins like that! 😁
Haha well it is a lot of hard work but maybe one day you can pop over and have a go 👍
@@VintageParagonUk Yes! I haven't been back to the UK since I started detecting, and I absolutely can't wait to get back there one of these years. I know you put in a lot of time and swinging to make your videos. I have no illusion that ALL you find are amazing coins. But yours is my favorite detecting channel because your videos are fun and well made, and you do find amazing stuff.
The Viking penny is amazing!
I love it 😁
Happy New Year indeed!! 😂😁 And Happy St. Valentine's Day to boot. 🥰😉 Excellent start to 2024. So nice to see you again, Ed. Clearly you've survived all the terrible storms that have recently blown through the U.K. 😲😬😝 I wish you good luck on locating a new detecting ground. See you next time. 😘🤗💖👍👋
Thanks Noralee, I have been a bit busy house hunting so not been out but perhaps I will be needing to find a new place again soon 😁
Thank you for sharing your field adventures with us, I always enjoy the journey of discovery. Kicking it off with an incredible start, cheers to a fab 2024 🥳
Thanks, I hope there is more to come 😁
Ha! Was looking for your video the other day. Thanks for posting! Wow! What a coin find and a pretty button! Happy New Year! Suzy AZ USA
Always a button for you Suzy 😉
Congratulations Ed! Saxon...wow! I enjoyed the outing very much, thank you! Have a lovely week!
Thanks and you too 😊
Incredible finds!! Happy New Year!
Happy new year 😁👍
@@VintageParagonUk Thanks so much!
What a way to start the year. Congratulations Ed.
Thanks 😊
Great collection of finds to get you started this year. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Thanks, I need to get out again soon 😁
Sweet, bit battered but none the less, great finds 👍
Thanks mate 👍
Nice one Ed well done...There is always something!
I try my best 😊👍
Nice finds. Great start for 2024! 👍
Thanks 👍
Beautiful finds, thank you Ed.😊
Thanks 👍
Wow, great hammies M8! That Cnut is a belter! Cheers, John.
Thanks John, one of my best finds
Well done on the Saxon penny would defo go back to that field again again and again keep it up fella
Thanks, I have been back so much but there is not a lot left I don't think 😅
I was out metal detecting today and came across a bottle dump which is completely full bottles everywhere but I ain’t got a clue what ones to keep. Any info for a newbie please 🙏🏽
That sounds amazing you lucky guy! Well a rule of thumb is screw tops are a bit too modern but internal screws are good, the seam is important so looks to see how far up the neck it goes, if it stops before the lip you are good and it is blown into a mould rather than machine made. Clear glass is usually quite modern so if you are seeing nice colourful bubbly glass you are onto a winner 👍
Thanks for that info about the seem and the colour of the glass 👌🏽 iv been meaning to get back over there but things keep coming up that I need to do 🙄 I’m dying to get back there asap. When I was a trawler fisherman loads of cod bottles with the stopper in was allways coming up with clay pipes I gave the bottles to my mum which she still has to this day 👍🏽
Do you still go out bottle digging?
Not so much these days as I have been moving around a lot and not spent the time to find new dumps but it is still something I enjoy to do when I do come across some new spots 👍
