We have something like that in NY, it’s called Dead Horse Bay for obvious reasons. And in the late 1800s, early 1900s the beach was covered with rubble from torn down buildings and people thrash. Now you can find old bottles, dishes, sometimes silverware, jewelry. Lots of cool stuff.
Rebecca Topken I know. Buried deep underground, it makes you wonder how long plastic REALLY takes to break down, if paper is ok after 90 years in the mud!
its nice to see this group of girls out and about ,healthy and smiling again simon, a great day with some pretty cool finds,thanks for the trip,please be careful of this damn virus
Bottles of white stuff were used to keep white canvas tennis shoes (plimsolls) white. It was also used for white canvas fashion shoes, only worn in summer.
Watching this video today, brings so many happy memories for me. My brother and I used to spend hours digging in old dumps, in Idaho USA, sadly lost my brother in horrible accident this year. Thank you for bringing back the memories, love all finds today. I would love to have that insulator to ad to my collection.
I love the wonky bottles. They remind me of the story of the wonky donkey, you should find it here on UA-cam your nieces may enjoy it. It has to be the one where the Scottish granny is reading it’s very funny. Have a great week. G
A fantastic hour of Simon and friends is a rare treat on a Sunday! A great assortment of finds with some very special dump divers. I do think my favorite quote of the video came from Flo (perhaps), who said, "A kewpie going poopie." You guys are the best and thanks for letting us tag along for the hunt, Simon.
I've dug loads of stuff out of my garden, very addictive. You stick to a 1 metre patch and just when you gone down 2 feet, dug out the edges and are just about to stop, you find an amazing piece of blue and white! Most sentimental has been the Victorian ladies boots, knowing they've been up and down our stairs.
That child, Cecelia has an eye and is a keeper. Wow the things she found. She is so young but so awesome. I'm impressed. Please tell her your youtubers think she is awesomely grand! She found the very best things!
Yes, I was impressed with her finds too. Glad Mum decided to keep some of her finds. I thought her stuff was the best. I do like the historic bottles, but I would much rather keep the bits & bobs of tile, glass, & ceramic pieces that Cecilia found. I would have gone along on this trip, & kept all the pieces that the mudlarks threw back!!
You guys are all sweet and kind to each other, really impressive. Wish I lived there and was part of the club. The little girl has a good eye! Her mom should help her make something from her finds!
Those white milk glass marmalade jars are perfect for holding utensils to cook. I would want the real jars, with no decoupage. The real milk glass is lovely. But Si you do what you want but it's better natural. I am like you Si I love the aqua glass the best. It is just beautiful.
@JennyWinters, I too prefer the jars "as is". I decoupage things & love all sorts of paper arts, but I can think of a million things to do with those little pots. Also, the newspaper bits; after being dried out, are coveted by paper artists, scrapbookers, junk journaler's, etc. They will buy just the newspaper bits alone. So @Si-Finds Thames Mudlark, if you don't have the time to decoupage, consider selling the paper on your Etsy. Google "ephemera" & you will discover an entire niche market. Included in "ephemera" are newspaper, ticket stubs or brochures, postcards, old maps, address books, ledgers & logs, receipts. Yellowing, staining & torn pieces are part of the charm!!
THIS IS WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF! I live in the US and we had a dump that was pushed over the edge of the saltwater Bank for forever so you could just use a paintbrush or anything and hang off the cliff by the Bramble if you had good gloves on and the finds were incredible! Things were whole things were untouched because of the way that they were entombed. My brother would find amazing things and his friend would find amazing things and sell them. I got to spend a whole day there but I don't know where my things went it was so long ago. I finally got to go back there and it took my mother-in-law to be and I a very long time to get down there there was at least 12 in of glass Pebbles ringing as they touched each other from the water rolling them. Keep in mind this is on a quiet day when the tide is calm. The glass goes 5 ft deeper more and there's a shipwreck out swimming range for the divers to go through from Asia somewhere. The sad thing is is when we finally got down there and we were getting ready to start picking a man came and shooed us off the property! In Washington state you can't usually own private . You can own the on the land above it but down below by the water usually cannot be owned. But he insisted, the first time I heard the woman I was with swear and boy did she let go! We could see thousands of things around us delicate little vases. Cups teapots dolls complete it's endless! Alas that time is over so I'm going to have to save and come visit you as soon as possible I can just see me trying to get this home to the US? There must be a way all the dumps in the u.s. in my range are gone. I literally dream of this. I crave doing this I would be there for days I'd camp out. Thank you for this I stayed awake an hour longer just to watch this so it's now almost 4 a.m. Perry history I promised myself to go to sleep early. thank you for another fabulous video! even if this one did hurt a little.
Gomez addams you should go back to that place but to the tax office and see if the land is actually owned someone may be trying save it all for themselves and get in writing from tax office then go to local police and get permisdion to be on that spot of land and if its owned go to owner and ask to go there to preserve and not make a mess and possibly offer to pay 20 bucks for a few hours of looking to preserve the past...i would do that ..Good Luck.
Wowee , Simon, even a regular January finding-day is a great one for you ! Possibly other good finds there, where you were. congratulations for unearthing and bringing the caudle cup back to life. It is so well-made for a pewter item. Love those brass pieces too. Exceptional work !
I have got an old wooden toy horse from the 1700s or possibly earlier, in good condition. The remainder you found looks to me like it could have been similar. If you want to restore it Icould send you a picture.
Excellent video. Amused by the newspaper date-search audio timing..."Aaargh! F'd it up......bleep!!" What a fabulous group of people, and fascinating finds!
That was an excellent video, thank you Simon and friends - what a lovely bunch of people. All those fantastic finds (the Dick Whittington pipe was spectacular). That is one hell of an amazing dump, I'm tempted to move there and called myself Stig!
Thanks for this, great finds. Absolutely wonderful to walk into a bottle collectors kitchen that has a large window with shelves in the window space all crammed with different coloured bottles and jars and the sun shining behind them, absolutely brilliant!
Love your friends all down to earth and unafraid to get themselves dirty for their treasures!!! As always wonderful to watch all your adventures and unique finds!! :)
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Hello from Michigan, U.S.A. Today's video is one of the funnest to watch. So much variety in types of finds and so many relics in good condition. It's also interesting to hear have creatively the artifacts will be re-purposed.
That black glass bottle you wondered about that didn't have a seam is what is called a turn mold bottle. They were blown in a mold and then they turned it while the glass was still molten . Usually there are faint concentric rings on the bottle which indicate it was turned. Turn mold bottles could not have embossing on them they always had paper labels. Bottles like the one you found usually contained some kind of spirits. Love your videos Si. It's inspiring me to do some digging again.
this would be a dream for my 8 year old daughter, unfortunately here in the states we dont have such things that date back so far accessible locally, so I am content with your videos for me and my wee one to watch and dream, cheers friends
Dad INC you’d be surprised! I just went fossil hunting on the peace river in Florida and found hundreds of interesting fossils and sharks teeth. Would be awesome to find things like they do in the bottle dumps and the Thames, though.
A fun and interesting treasures. The beauty in bottle designs of the past lends knowledge that older times art was as important in design as the product itself.
I think if I had found Monica's horse torso I would put one of the creepy doll's heads and four doll's legs on it. The Art Nouveau bottle does look very much like something Lalique could have made.
The green , seamless bottle toward the end of the video looks like it was created in a turn mold. Usually a turn mold formed bottle will have concentric circles or rings going around the bottle in a few areas like those near the shoulder of your bottle. Those rings are created as the blown bottle is literally being turned inside the mold. As the bottle is turned, the rings are created by granules in the paste that is applied inside mold prior to creating a bottle, or foreign particles such as sawdust, or imperfections in the mold surface. Once you have it cleaned, hold it up in the light and you might just see more rings going around the bottle.
I found this episode particularly entertaining as there was a “Dick Whittington pipe” discovered by your young friend. The name immediately rang a bell, as my mother, who was born in Brighton, was an actress before and during WWII, and played a major role In the Pantomime “Dick Whittington” at The Finsbury Park Empire in the early ‘40’s. Her stage name was Rosalie Allen and the male lead was George Jackley. I’m trying to attach a copy of the program, but having no luck.Also, I’ve been a Metal detecting treasure hunter for 30 years here in CA and am often envious of the great antiquity of the items dug in Britain. Keep up the great mudlarking. I’m living vicariously through you! Roger in California.
OK, glass grinders seem to start at £150 over there (yow) so an alternative is diamond bits in a Dremel rotary tool, with the piece held gingerly in a shallow dish of water to keep the glass cool. Or maybe you know this already!
Always a pleasure to join this group at the bottle dump. You can be assured of laughs, learning lessons, and lucky finds. Monika's dream find was found -- the penny lick -- but by Cecilia. Flo was trying her best to leave things -- except those were her daughter's best finds...and Mum relented. Anna's dilemma was what to leave behind but changed her mind when Si pointed out it could all be gone. Mike has an incredible eye at the dump, too...only the best finds. What an amazing day all around. Thank you for taking us along to visit a true treasure trove.
i had a lovely adventure going with you today i cant wait till we go again and descover all the great things you all find right along with you!!! cheerio!
I watched one of your videos after I saw you featured in one with Nicola White. In your introduction greeting I thought you said, "Hello, My Lovers!" l thought whoo whoo isnt he fancy! lol it was after a few videos I realized you were saying Mudlovers. lol
Simon, I've viewed an reviewed this video more than a couple times, since you posted it nearly a year ago. This remains in my top five favorites of your vids. Great day of finds, with a good group and wonderful weather, which doesn't happen every day in England. So many fun and unusual finds,, though I'm partial to the quirky leg with foot, that has the turned-up toed. Does anyone in the group have YT channels, Si?
Ladies and gents, fantastic treasures, I would love to take all the things you chucked!!!!!!!! I had loads of fun with all of you today!!!!! Will be purchasing air ticket, in the next month!!!! God bless!!!!
That bottle that said something like 'Wet White' may have originally had something white in, rather than having been used for mixing paint in.. We used to buy stuff that looked a bit like that stuff remaining on the inside, to paint onto our, off white, canvas plimsols, to make them look cleaner after they had got muddy playing games on the school field. Alternatively it also looks a bit like it could be something like the cooling Calomine Lotion we used to put on sunburn or Chicken Pox spots. A third alternative would be that it might be something like the liquid kaolin, (china clay) medicine that we took for bad upset tummies. I think it was originally Kaolin & Morphine mixture. Hopefully it will be possible to find out?
Hi I just live east of Toronto and in ajax by duffins creek there a few places along the creek that have really old bottles dumps and also a old vintage house u can dig for bottles and stuff I've found some nice bottles and a few silver rings with my metal detector also missauga has a few .
so years back o was digging some footings really old vicarage and I had so much fun finding the bottles and pipes. I would love you go to a place like this with my missus and kids
Hi sci & friends, as you Brits would say "I'm gobsmacked"!!!!! What fun treasures, wish we had dumps like that! I think the green glass vase with the all the vineyard embossing is Loetz glass, yes it is beautiful!! What fun going with you, can't wait for your next outing, best Carol.
A great group of friends enjoying a day of fellowship and treasurer recovery. Enjoyed your hunt and your unique and interesting finds. Stay well all. Al. NJ. USA
Fantastic video! Thanks 😁 my partner is northern irish and lived right near enniskillen castle, you could see it from his bathroom window 😁 he said it's his favourite of your finds. I do love your jars you have decoupaged- I tried it once with 1950's picture posts adverts on canvas- mod podge everywhere! Hadn't the patience to finish it- but I had a strong craving for Murray mints and osram light bulbs at the end 🤣
I don't know if you know this trick for what papers. Put them in the freezer wrapped in wax paper. After the whole pile is Frozen take it back out. Hopefully, parts of the stack will break into their own smaller sections. After it thaws you can gently remove the papers from each other. Lay out towels with paper towels on top and lay the individual damp papers on that until they dry. It's time-consuming but it works!
Gordana Zakula, there was a major recall/class action suit filed against Lumber Liquidators ( I think) due to the obscene amount of formaldehyde and God-knows-what chemicals in the laminate flooring their corrupt Chinese suppliers were sending them. People were falling ill left and right. I saw an expose where the reporters filmed undercover in the Chinese factory. The factory owner just slapped on fake “Certified Compliant With State of California Regulations” stickers on the box and called it good. The American CEO was fired for not doing quality control. Same thing happened with cheap Chinese Gypsum Wallboard aka Drywall several years back - people got sick from the poison those greedy bastards made the wallboard out of.
Hi there I used to dig Victorian dumps way back in the the late 80' and early to mid 90's. we were able to find much bigger and undug sites back then and were finding "bears grease" lids including "Blue bears" "Warners safe cure" bottles in all colours including cobalt blue. "ginger beer bottles" with blue and green tops and the more common brown. "Codds" bottles, pointed "Hamilton's" in all colours, but we were mainly digging for pot lids. we used to have great finds in places like Shalford (guildford), elmers end and lots of other places. we used to find all sorts of match strikers, cream pots, poison bottles in all colours, including "coffin" and "skulls", as well as, Inks, clay pipes including "figural", dolls heads with glass eye's lead weights still in place and remnants of hair and the leather cap the hair was stitched to. we would go to the town halls of various places and look in the old records looking for signs of old dumps and believe it or not the biggest giveaway was people complaining about the smell coming from the newly established dump. These nuisance sites were quickly clay capped and left undisturbed for a 100 or so years untill we started digging them. You would have loved it back then because we were getting out so much it was unbelievable, but there must still be some early dumps still undug it's just finding them. I have recently found a dump local to me that was last used in the 30's but I don't know when it was started so I am going to check it out as soon as the weather gets a bit warmer and hopefully find earlier stuff than 30's. keep up the good work and I will carry on watching. Good luck Neil
What fun old dumps are! That multicoloured object broken at the top could be simply a decorative piece like glass paperweights are. I had a feeling that little bottle was going to break.Got to be patient.
I think they are all beautiful finds things that time forgot rather sad in a lot of ways loved to have been there so would the Northern Mudlarks thanks Si xx❤️🙏🏻🇬🇧
The tall thin green bottle with the orb on top looks like a Prince Matchabelli bottle, possibly Wind Song fragrance. I’d give my eye teeth to have found that one!
There's something stunningly beautiful about multiple generations of modern humans getting so thrilled by finding artifacts of their ancestors.
We have something like that in NY, it’s called Dead Horse Bay for obvious reasons. And in the late 1800s, early 1900s the beach was covered with rubble from torn down buildings and people thrash. Now you can find old bottles, dishes, sometimes silverware, jewelry. Lots of cool stuff.
Have to try to convince my sister and her husband to go there when I next visit them in New York.
Nothing like spending a day with friends doing something you all love. A 90 yr old newspaper, left to the elements and it has not disintegrated!😮
Rebecca Topken I know. Buried deep underground, it makes you wonder how long plastic REALLY takes to break down, if paper is ok after 90 years in the mud!
And it was burned around the edges!!
its nice to see this group of girls out and about ,healthy and smiling again simon, a great day with some pretty cool finds,thanks for the trip,please be careful of this damn virus
Bottles of white stuff were used to keep white canvas tennis shoes (plimsolls) white. It was also used for white canvas fashion shoes, only worn in summer.
I've always wanted to visit England and now I want to visit England and dig through old trash piles! Great vids, man! Greetings from the USofA!
Greeting from the cannada
Murica
I hated for this video to end. It was such a pleasure to watch. Good finds and good friends. It doesn't get better than that.
Thanks Sharon, I was worried it was too long!
Watching this video today, brings so many happy memories for me. My brother and I used to spend hours digging in old dumps, in Idaho USA, sadly lost my brother in horrible accident this year. Thank you for bringing back the memories, love all finds today. I would love to have that insulator to ad to my collection.
I love the wonky bottles. They remind me of the story of the wonky donkey, you should find it here on UA-cam your nieces may enjoy it. It has to be the one where the Scottish granny is reading it’s very funny. Have a great week.

A fantastic hour of Simon and friends is a rare treat on a Sunday! A great assortment of finds with some very special dump divers. I do think my favorite quote of the video came from Flo (perhaps), who said, "A kewpie going poopie." You guys are the best and thanks for letting us tag along for the hunt, Simon.
Steve H haha
I've dug loads of stuff out of my garden, very addictive. You stick to a 1 metre patch and just when you gone down 2 feet, dug out the edges and are just about to stop, you find an amazing piece of blue and white! Most sentimental has been the Victorian ladies boots, knowing they've been up and down our stairs.
That child, Cecelia has an eye and is a keeper. Wow the things she found. She is so young but so awesome. I'm impressed. Please tell her your youtubers think she is awesomely grand! She found the very best things!
Yes, I was impressed with her finds too. Glad Mum decided to keep some of her finds. I thought her stuff was the best. I do like the historic bottles, but I would much rather keep the bits & bobs of tile, glass, & ceramic pieces that Cecilia found. I would have gone along on this trip, & kept all the pieces that the mudlarks threw back!!
You guys are all sweet and kind to each other, really impressive. Wish I lived there and was part of the club. The little girl has a good eye! Her mom should help her make something from her finds!
The decoupaged pieces are remarkable,I am very impressed.
None of this would be possible without the work of a little girl’s magic wand😊
WOW I would love a site like this one!!! So much stuff and nice early stuff mixed in!
I could never go to a place like that cause i would be bringing all the bottles home.
That's the point 😃
I'd end up having to rent a shipping container to send it all home...lol
I so very much enjoy these videos...all your adventures, with or without friends. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks!
@@Sifinds Cuffs is a very Sexy Man !
Those white milk glass marmalade jars are perfect for holding utensils to cook. I would want the real jars, with no decoupage. The real milk glass is lovely. But Si you do what you want but it's better natural. I am like you Si I love the aqua glass the best. It is just beautiful.
@JennyWinters, I too prefer the jars "as is". I decoupage things & love all sorts of paper arts, but I can think of a million things to do with those little pots. Also, the newspaper bits; after being dried out, are coveted by paper artists, scrapbookers, junk journaler's, etc. They will buy just the newspaper bits alone. So @Si-Finds Thames Mudlark, if you don't have the time to decoupage, consider selling the paper on your Etsy. Google "ephemera" & you will discover an entire niche market. Included in "ephemera" are newspaper, ticket stubs or brochures, postcards, old maps, address books, ledgers & logs, receipts. Yellowing, staining & torn pieces are part of the charm!!
One day I’ll live over there and can go digging with y’all!!!! My life’s dream!!!!
Mine too!
Oh man, where is this place? be a dream come true,,,,
I Love seeing You’re channel here in S. Ontario, Canada. Thanks again for making you’re channel.
I love all of the unusual things you and your friends find! It was so nice to see your friend and her young daughter-mudlover in training!

Thanks Kath!
I have got an old wooden toy horse from the 1700s or possibly earlier, in good condition. The remainder you found looks to me like it could have been similar. If you want to restore it Icould send you a picture.
Yes that Harlesden Hotel is still there, not far from me. Wish I had that bottle. Great find Si.
“I collect blue bottles in my bathroom”.
“You can get a fly paper for that”.

One of the best channels on UA-cam
john t ah thanks John
I wish I could see your blue bottles collection ... I have a blue vases collection (around 60 !)
Your dumps/tips are the best★I won't be able to tear me away from that dump! That bird feeder can still be used with some imagination :)
Thanks for this, great finds.
Absolutely wonderful to walk into a bottle collectors kitchen that has a large window with shelves in the window space all crammed with different coloured bottles and jars and the sun shining behind them, absolutely brilliant!

Not Lalique. It's Loetz or if not then Pallme konig or kralik
Love the things you are giving away😍then, ooooh, another poison bottle😁great site for bottles and surprises
I would have a hay day at that dump. In fact I would need a dump truck for my haul! Haha!
Great to see London and keep having fun !
My husband and I yelled AHHHHH when you accidentally broke the poison bottle lol absolutely love these videos...it's paradise thanks for sharing!
HaHa, yeah what a klutz!
Are you interesting in buying some blue poison bottles I have 100 for sale all different
The striped tile looks like it may have come from a swimming pool changing room.
Definitely some kind of wet walkway, my mother's drive and entryway have tiles like that one.
The green , seamless bottle toward the end of the video looks like it was created in a turn mold. Usually a turn mold formed bottle will have concentric circles or rings going around the bottle in a few areas like those near the shoulder of your bottle.

Amazing finds at this site! I love the little purple bottle with flat sides - beautiful!
I always enjoy these group dump-digs. They're so much fun and so many cool things are found. Thanks for sharing the adventure, Simon. :)
Malinda Thanks for watching!

Well I think Celia found the best stuff defo the prettiest items 🥰
I use old newspapers to find writing prompts. Awesome findings.
That’s got to be the best bottle dump I have seen on all of these channels!
I wouldn't be able to carry enough of them out!! The bottles you guys tose out as plain we dig all day just to find one! Lol
The insulator could have been the best find on the dump if it was a rare one, there's a lot of collectors especially across the pond.
What lovely finds! The pipes, doll heads, bottles, loved seeing all of them! 😊
Lisa Uptagrafft Thanks!
Lots of history in those hills. Good job.
i had a lovely adventure going with you today i cant wait till we go again and descover all the great things you all find right along with you!!! cheerio!

what a superb day out for you and friends ,,,awsome goodies ! great to see all you finds !
Love this dump , it just keeps giving up treasures👍so much
Ladies and gents, fantastic treasures, I would love to take all the things you chucked!!!!!!!! I had loads of fun with all of you today!!!!! Will be purchasing air ticket, in the next month!!!! God bless!!!!
3 months ago, when people were buying airline tickets
Awesome finds. Wish I was there digging
The real treasure for me was finding these videos. Greetings from Florida 💖
Anna is brilliant, I love her excitement 💖😊
That bottle that said something like 'Wet White' may have originally had something white in, rather than having been used for mixing paint in.. We used to buy stuff that looked a bit like that stuff remaining on the inside, to paint onto our, off white, canvas plimsols, to make them look cleaner after they had got muddy playing games on the school field. Alternatively it also looks a bit like it could be something like the cooling Calomine Lotion we used to put on sunburn or Chicken Pox spots. A third alternative would be that it might be something like the liquid kaolin, (china clay) medicine that we took for bad upset tummies. I think it was originally Kaolin & Morphine mixture. Hopefully it will be possible to find out?
My dad drunk Calomine thinking it was Kaolin!
Could it whitener for nurses shoes??
Awesome finds! That place is so cool, I just want to be there on the hunt!♡ Just a fun time!!
Thanks Jenny!
Awesome video Si!!! That place is amazing! Thank you for taking us along!!! ❤️
Thank you! Check out the past videos too if your new to the dump!
I wish Toronto had cool places like this! I would LOVE to do this!
Hi I just live east of Toronto and in ajax by duffins creek there a few places along the creek that have really old bottles dumps and also a old vintage house u can dig for bottles and stuff I've found some nice bottles and a few silver rings with my metal detector also missauga has a few .
The pink/green glass item was probably a scent bottle for putting on the dressing table.
Realllly cool video!! All had truly amazing finds!!!!
Always a treat going with you guys to the bottle dump! Love your creations!💕
Jackie beans Thanks Jackie
Si-finds making decoupage cool for 2020!
Thanks for the long vid, I love this place. I desperately want to go!
Dawn Sherratt Thanks!
I cried when you left the insulator. There’s a huge market for them!
so years back o was digging some footings really old vicarage and I had so much fun finding the bottles and pipes.
I would love you go to a place like this with my missus and kids
I believe the bottle with the fluted edges is a victorian eye wash bottle.
No they are much smaller, more egg cup like
Baby feeders.
Tiles are good to put hot pots on, the Cupid doll could sit on a plant pot.. lovely finds...flamboyant neck - eye wash
Hi sci & friends, as you Brits would say "I'm gobsmacked"!!!!! What fun treasures, wish we had dumps like that! I think the green glass vase with the all the vineyard embossing is Loetz glass, yes it is beautiful!! What fun going with you, can't wait for your next outing, best Carol.
I think the diagonal is the bottom on the tile. Great Penny Lick.
A great group of friends enjoying a day of fellowship and treasurer recovery. Enjoyed your hunt and your unique and interesting finds.
Stay well all. Al. NJ. USA
Fantastic video! Thanks 😁 my partner is northern irish and lived right near enniskillen castle, you could see it from his bathroom window 😁 he said it's his favourite of your finds. I do love your jars you have decoupaged- I tried it once with 1950's picture posts adverts on canvas- mod podge everywhere! Hadn't the patience to finish it- but I had a strong craving for Murray mints and osram light bulbs at the end 🤣
The decoupage is really fabulous..What a lovely way to reuse old vintage paper on old marmalade jars..Hope they are sell out items👍👍👍
Sunita Surendran Thanks!
I don't know if you know this trick for what papers. Put them in the freezer wrapped in wax paper. After the whole pile is Frozen take it back out. Hopefully, parts of the stack will break into their own smaller sections. After it thaws you can gently remove the papers from each other. Lay out towels with paper towels on top and lay the individual damp papers on that until they dry. It's time-consuming but it works!
...wet papers...
“You lick the ice cream, and then you get cholera.”...aah the joys of Victorian life.
Matt Kustom Kostumes haha
Which is why all the Victorians are dead now. :-)
Joe Cook-Giles huh....I chalked it up to their gorgeous green arsenic-laden floral wallpaper. Lovely, isn’t it?
@@mattkaustickomments Matt!!! I was researching modern floors, and found that some were toxic!!!
Gordana Zakula, there was a major recall/class action suit filed against Lumber Liquidators ( I think) due to the obscene amount of formaldehyde and God-knows-what chemicals in the laminate flooring their corrupt Chinese suppliers were sending them. People were falling ill left and right. I saw an expose where the reporters filmed undercover in the Chinese factory. The factory owner just slapped on fake “Certified Compliant With State of California Regulations” stickers on the box and called it good. The American CEO was fired for not doing quality control. Same thing happened with cheap Chinese Gypsum Wallboard aka Drywall several years back - people got sick from the poison those greedy bastards made the wallboard out of.
Hi there I used to dig Victorian dumps way back in the the late 80' and early to mid 90's. we were able to find much bigger and undug sites back then and were finding "bears grease" lids including "Blue bears" "Warners safe cure" bottles in all colours including cobalt blue. "ginger beer bottles" with blue and green tops and the more common brown. "Codds" bottles, pointed "Hamilton's" in all colours, but we were mainly digging for pot lids. we used to have great finds in places like Shalford (guildford), elmers end and lots of other places. we used to find all sorts of match strikers, cream pots, poison bottles in all colours, including "coffin" and "skulls", as well as, Inks, clay pipes including "figural", dolls heads with glass eye's lead weights still in place and remnants of hair and the leather cap the hair was stitched to. we would go to the town halls of various places and look in the old records looking for signs of old dumps and believe it or not the biggest giveaway was people complaining about the smell coming from the newly established dump. These nuisance sites were quickly clay capped and left undisturbed for a 100 or so years untill we started digging them. You would have loved it back then because we were getting out so much it was unbelievable, but there must still be some early dumps still undug it's just finding them. I have recently found a dump local to me that was last used in the 30's but I don't know when it was started so I am going to check it out as soon as the weather gets a bit warmer and hopefully find earlier stuff than 30's. keep up the good work and I will carry on watching.
Good luck
Neil
Loved that thank you for sharing.
Beautiful bottle s love them all thay are amazing excellent video thank u Si n friend s
Raima Mohommed Thanks
What fun old dumps are! That multicoloured object broken at the top could be simply a decorative piece like glass paperweights are. I had a feeling that little bottle was going to break.Got to be patient.
I think they are all beautiful finds things that time forgot rather sad in a lot of ways loved to have been there so would the Northern Mudlarks thanks Si xx❤️🙏🏻🇬🇧
The tall thin green bottle with the orb on top looks like a Prince Matchabelli bottle, possibly Wind Song fragrance. I’d give my eye teeth to have found that one!
Lynn McClure Maybe ask Anna if she will sell it to you....
Si-finds Thames Mudlark thanks S.I.! How do I reach her? Does she have a UA-cam channel?
I don’t have an Instagram account
The concave coloured glass bottles with the writing would make great soap dishes in a bathroom !
Cecelia is queen of the bottle dump today!
Oh yes
