    Back at the old bottle dump video. I've been pretty sick for a couple of weeks so the videos got behind and I couldn't get out and about for new ones. Hopefully over the hump now and can get back at it again. Thanks for your comments and for watching my videos!

    I was doing a bit of digging in the back garden. To my surprise, I only found an old ash/bottle tip. After 2 weeks of digging every day in the back garden, I had turned it into bombsightht. The neighbours thought I was bonkers. I found many bottles and pot lids. Wish my garden was bigger, I. Had some great fun not knowing what I would find next. Keep up the good work and good luck.

    Chigg, at 5:00 you have a vacuum tube, often used in radios and television sets in the early to mid 20th century. The one you picked up was most likely used in an old 1930s console radio, considering its size and style.

      Lots of those old radios with that type tubes were battery powered. We never had electricity when i was a child in eastern Kentucky, so i grew up listening to the Lone Ranger, The Green Hornet, The Shadow Knows ,etc. on one of those old floor model, tube type radios! Thing had a big long "9 lives" battery and gobs of stations on the dial with a thin copper wire at least a quarter mile long for an antenna but we could only get two programs but it was still fun!

    Hi Chigg. My son found an old PBR bottle with the label still on and took a picture with the PBR he was drinking at the time. The old bottle was bigger. He said he was getting ripped off with the smaller bottle. 😏 😁 Good thing he did because when the label dried it shrunk and fell off. Love your videos!

    The one bottle that you initially thought it said Geritol.. that's Certo. It's pectin bottle which is the reason for the measurement line. It's used to make home made jelly. You have to measure it well or your jelly won't set, or if you use to much, it becomes pastey.

After doing some research on Berks County I found so many acres were old dumps, and a lot of places and towns were build on them, It amazed me! Love the amber bottles!

    The blue bottle with the vertical ribs (20:00 mark), is more than likely and "poison" bottle. Bottles that contained something that would be dangerous to ingest, often had odd shapes or designs that could be felt (kind of like braille) to warn you not to take it internally, if you got up in the middle of the night to grab an aspirin or something similar, before the electric light era.
