Digging up old Antiques
In this video I returned to the antique bottle dump, I scratched around for a little while until I found a really interesting Emerald Green bottle, this at first looked like a similar type of poison but is likely an Aftershave bottle, it’s 1930s. The next cool thing I found was a square ink well which had a strong purple colour. I thought it was the purple hue created by a type of glass component used pre 1915 (Manganese Sulphate) but it turned out to be purple ink inside the ink well that was staining the sides this one is 1930s as well. After a few more unique finds I came across what appeared to be a Bakelite fountain pen, since I had found one here before it was the likely chance. It ...

In this video I was out BeachCombing on the river, when I spotted a couple neat pieces of Uranium glass. For those who don’t know Back in the day people would occasionally add Uranium into the glass mix, they did this for the nice green hue.
