All our tin here is the "Rust layer" where bottles live. About 3 years ago I found a lot of unmarked ginger beers. They all had British stamps, no dates. From all the broken Codds I was before 1893. Some Holbrooks & Leas, and a Gloucester sauce. Broken Tahiti Lemonades and Crystals, whom merged in 1894 to Consolidated Soda Water Works. 3 Codds from Los Angeles too. I was downtown under the view of condos, so had to wear overalls & hardhat authorized personnel disguise. I had fun, though no local sodas or meds.
edge of my seat it looks so juicy the way the tin looked layered reminded me off a bottle dump same age it was also dug by excavators in the 80 s and now it’s a place to dig I scored a rare cs and heap of inks but all gingers are smashed Some places in your hole looked not disturbed don’t give up on it must be a huge area for a town tip Punch holes in it everywhere Cheers Paul
Do you make any drinking glasses out of the broken bottles, if not shoot me a message and I can tell you how to do it with pencil polished rims. Was any of the tin old signs ? Just wondering.
I think there was just alot of tin used at that time mate, therefore alot was also thrown out. Its like now with plastic in a way.. if theres alot in use at the time, there ends up being a lot of it in landfill at the time also.
@@jimykay7262 yeah ok I can see what your getting at but do you know for certain or not really because if not I was just trying to get answer and idea of why that's all 👍👌
Even Aussie tin shows up here too. Mostly other American though. I've a few 1920s Honolulu Iron Works magazines, and they did a publicity stunt to see which tin lasted the longest. There are some old homes out here with tin roofs. I live in an Aussie prefab that was being sold here in the 1990s as a "Tropic proof" house. Metric and some Aussie items-windows, doors &c. Most of the finish work was done by my landlord's family. Like many Americans I'm actually marginally conversant in Metric, German & Japanese autos. I have a good meter stick left over from our 1970s Metric push here. After a while the Gov't gave up, but I hear it is used in the Army mostly.
It is mate... imagine me digging for 5 hours for that. Haha. Anyway there is sure to be something good there. Have pulled ginger beers out of there about 10 years back. Will dig until i do. Thanks for watching mate, appreciate it..
@@jimykay7262 no worries mate... there are some great bottle digging videos out there but I always love good Aussie ones. Be persistent & good luck, I’ve been digging for 20 years now and I’m still yet to find a complete codd or ginger beer 😔
I have been fortunate enough to have dug several ginger beer bottles , including digging about 7 or 8 mint condition ones in the same hole on the same day. Also pulled out several mint condition codds and Chinese ginger jars . Have plenty of very good content on the way . Thanks again for watching
Great finds enjoyed

Some places in your hole looked not disturbed don’t give up on it must be a huge area for a town tip
Punch holes in it everywhere
Cheers Paul
gee what a beautiful tip. of course the holbrooks survives but all the codds and stoneys broken. you gotta go back and dig that whole tip out..
Great clip mate!! Hopefully the tip hasn’t already been dug and your only digging through backfill.
Well yes mate alot of it has been dug for many years. But they never get them all 😉

Looks like a good tip mate, just get your shovel & go deep.
Best of luck.
Thanks mate 👍 yeah it's a very big tip. 3 acres roughly, used from around 1907 until late 1930s
Maybe you can find another better place.
Ill punch holes everywhere until I do mate 😂
@@jimykay7262 I enjoyed the video, and can’t wait for the next.
Good stuff mate, the Clarence is awesome for history like that. I've found heaps there
Thanks mate👍 appreciate you watching. That's awesome, are you from the area?
@@jimykay7262 originally from Lawrence, but have been in Perth for the last two years, miss the Clarence like crazy
We built our first home at Lawrence back in 2017. Top spot mate 👌
Reminds me of a dig on a 1880's homestead... three days digging. Not a single complete bottle..
I am a new subscriber from Texas USA 🇺🇸. I enjoyed your video . Look forward in seeing some more.
Is there any reason why there is so much old tin in that tip
