Fascinated by your Thomas andEvans find, they were eventually taken over by Corona SoftDrinks and became part of the Beecham Group. I worked at their head office in Brentford in the 1960s
Thomas and Evans are my most common bottle find as they started out in Porth which is not far from here, I guess in those days the drinks were made with real fruits so I suppose it makes sense for them to use the left over fruit for something like jam, I found that really interesting though! I love researching as most of the companies back then are still going although most have been absorbed into other giant companies but you can trace them back to their origins 🙂👍
Morally those Wye Valley jars actually belong to me. When I was researching my family history I discovered that my mother's side of the family owned several fruit orchards in the Forest of Dean. In 1835 they were directly in my line. Where are they now? Why isn't my name on those jars? Why am I paying for strawberry jam? Undoubtedly there is something shady waiting to be uncovered.
Love watching your vids. Amazing whole codd bottle 😱 Think that may be a rarer terracotta pipe, instead of a bubble pipe. Worth looking into 😉 Beautiful find either way.
Hello 👋from New York USA you found some amazing finds my favorite find was the little girl figurine the cod bottle and all the clay pipes i can't wait to see what you find next 😊
Hi Tarra, Thanks, I don't find many different clay pipes so it is special when one does come out and of course I love the Codds, who doesnt like a bottle that rattles 😁👍
Love that aqua glass...don't care what it is! And cobalt of course! Oh...and all the shades of Bovril! Just love glass I guess! Great dig...wonderful video! You seem a little more chipper today! Congrats on the Codd! I have a lamp similar to your cast iron green one! I use it during storm times when Reddy Kilowatt is not working! Nicola White could tell you the exact age of every pipe you own! She is the Pipe Whisperer! Hahaha!
Great finds. The corn vase item at 9.54 looks very similar to pottery made by Price and Kensington, potters in Stoke on Trent. my mum gave me a similar vase which is a celery design ( as in the vegetable) vase , although it is 1960's pottery. Perhaps not the right date for your dump dig site, but maybe potteries copied older designs for kitchen ware. Very interesting,. Love watching.!!
Thanks Amanda, sometimes at the end of a dig it is quite exhausting if there is not many finds to break the digging up, I still have a great time though 😁👍
Love the jam jar, that would look good with a tea light in it and the facets on the sides. Like you, when you first pulled the blue glass thing out I thought it's a piece of a lamp but when you flipped it I think it does go with the wider end at the top, not sure what it is, just looked familiar when you held it that way up
Thanks, I always enjoy finding those jars 😊 I am still unsure about the blue thing but think it would most likely be the oil reservoir for a small oil lamp, it is lovely though even though it is a bit broken 👍
Hi Ed liked the vid not sure about the blue glass thing,could be something to do with an oil lamp!liked the preserve jar I have some that came out of an old chapel basement storeroom,some with faint labels on Wye alley preserves!
Thanks mate, I think you are right, some sort of oil lamp 👍 I do still really like to find the wye valley preserves, makes a nice change to the normal jars 😁👍
Shame about the corn vase! I have a collection of Shawnee Pottery that looks similar to what you found, from cookie jars, bowls, pitchers, etc. quite enjoyed the searching back in the day, may start again. Congrats on the cod!👍🏻🇺🇸👋🏼
I'm moving to Ross-on-Wye in the next couple of months so you finding that jam jar (which was gorgeous btw) made me smile. Interesting video as always :) That 'lamp' was very interesting and congrats on your codd!
hope you're feeling much better in spirit..i like all your different finds,makes it interesting.do you sell everything you find,or do you at least keep some?
Wonderful bottle finds!! Gorgeous codd! Love the porcelain figure and the pipes! Thanks for taking me along with you. Sorry not there to help you fill in the holes afterwards though lol. 🙂♥️
Sweet Codd Ed. I like it when you dig up other goodies besides the bottles. Did you ever figure out what the blue glass was? Amazing blue color though. Take care Ed and be safe.
Awesome findings...... that cast iron stand n the lamp base would make a fantastic plant stand ( golden pathos/ marvel pathos) . Enjoy With Love from SAM Guwahati Assam INDIA
Lovely cod! And the color on that Scott's Emulsion looked beautiful. Some very cool finds. I have to say that as a safety manager, you made me really uncomfortable. Digging into the side of your hole underneath all that soil and then putting your body under there to pull out finds 😬. I hope the wall doesn't ever collapse on you. That would be disastrous.
Thanks 👍 the Scotts emulsion does have a really nice tint to it, I dont see too many like that. I am super careful, I never put my body under ground, just an arm that I can quickly pull out if needed, I wouldn't want a rock to hit me on the head either 😂 there is a lot of roots all through this area from the bushes so that gives it some stability but there are warning signs before there is a collapse when one does happen 🙂👌
@@VintageParagonUk That's good to know. Thanks. Those hazard warning bells are something I can't turn off. Especially when I see reports of workers being killed in trenching accidents.
Next time I go I will bring it back, it weighs a ton and it is a pretty long walk up hill to get back 😂 It would be so cool to get it going again and clean up the base nicely 👍
Beautiful Codd bottle. Cleaned up, it looked like a trophy in the sun. Does anyone know what kind of food products were in the pickle bottles? Relish, or was that the name because of the shape?
I think one of my favourite Codds I have found on this dump, it has a nice colour. I guess pickled vegetables, back in the day It would be the only veg people would eat during the winter months as they didn't have the choices like we do these days 😁
Well done ! Love the artistic way of showing off your finds. The Mudpies send me here to watch you. Love the Mudpies and they like you👍👍👍
Awesome! Thank you! I love those guys too, their videos are so good, they always find the goodies! 😁👍
Well done, lamp and COD, awesome!
Thank you 🙂
You are so lucky to have found this old bottle dump. You find some amazing bottles. 👍
Thanks, It is a nice little spot 👍
Fantastic video - as always Ed! Another Codd! Top job. Thanks for making another entertaining watch! All the best from the 'Dirty Secrets' Crew! :)
Thanks guys, I am on a bit of a roll with the Codds recently 😁👍
@@VintageParagonUk Long may it continue! Still only had 2 full Codd's to date. They're not very common on the tips I dig. :)
I loved your reaction when you found that beautiful Codd bottle at the end. Well done!
Thanks, it was a bit of a surprise 😂 Glad you enjoyed it 😁👍
Great to see you. Thank you.
Thank you too!
I never tire of Bovril jars.
I like a cheeky Bovril too 😁👍
well done on the finds 😊

perhaps the green lamp glas piece could get a base and a light fitting inside - would make a cool light fixture
That is a great idea, I think I might bring it back next time I go 🙂
I'd love to find a Codd! Cracking finds and that green lamp would make a lovely lamp shade 🤔
I love finding Codds, I am going to try and have a go at restoring the lamp, I will have to see how the base cleans up first 👍
Yes so lovely of a Codd bottle:) and other finds! Can't wait so see if you find out what the mystery find is...cheers!
Thanks Kathi, I think it might be a night lamp, it seems lamp like 😁👍
Some amazing and unusual finds . Glad you found codd bottle 😊
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it🙂👍
The pale blue sheared lip was small night lamp 👍
Great video too
Awesome thanks Shane, I thought it would be something along those lines 👍
That strawberry jar is awesome.
Thanks 😁👍
That’s cool. Rounded lamp glass.
Thanks, It was a cool find 👍

🤔 that does sound very shady! Maybe you need to do some more investigating so you can have all the jam that you ever wanted
Lol...you'll have to make your own jam, Fluffy Parker!
I like the way you do your roundup
Thank you 🙂
Mud Pie’s sent me over, new subscriber. Thank you for sharing your treasures 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰
Thank you, it is lovely to meet you, I hope you enjoy joining me on my digs 😁👍
Great God a codd and I just loved that big green heavy based oil lamp ; my style .
I am on a codd roll 😂
Wye Valley jam jar is lovely
I do really like those too, such a nice design 😊
Love watching your vids.
Amazing whole codd bottle 😱
Think that may be a rarer terracotta pipe, instead of a bubble pipe. Worth looking into 😉 Beautiful find either way.
Thank you 😊 That would be amazing if it was a terracotta pipe, I am not sure how you can tell though but I will look into it 👍

Keep digging! And more important..keep smiling!
Great video as usual Ed brilliant love your videos not just bottles lovely
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Another Codd!! Nice finds :)
I am on a roll! 😁👍
@@VintageParagonUk fantastic! I enjoy your videos mate, straight forward no nonsense digging :)

I did really like the corn vase, such a shame it was not complete, maybe there will be another one in there somewhere 👍
So happy you found the Codd! You were sounding a bit despondent. Good video, thank you 😀 x

Here from the Mud Pies. Awesome finds.
Awesome, nice to meet you, love those guys 😁👍
Nice little finds.
Thanks👍
Hey, you sounded down ( bc) but, nothing there to be sad about. Well dug.
Thanks, It was quite a tiring dig so I think I was a bit worn out at the end 😂👍
Great video nice codd lovely finds
Thank you 🙂
Great video Ed,so wish you had taken the oil lamp and done a video cleaning it up. I think that would of made an amazing video ☺️☺️🔥🔥
Thanks, It will still be there so might get it next time, I had to bring back a lot of bulk that day so had my bags full but next time 😁👍
@@VintageParagonUk would be so amazing if anyone can do it I reckon you could 😁☺️

I sure would have liked to see that lamp cleaned up and because it is glass, someone could have made a topper for it...:)
I am going to pick it up next time I go and see if I can fix it up 👍
Great finds enjoyed the video well done on the codd
Cheers mate 👍

Lucky you didn’t miss that codd 🤣
Thanks, It was a nice little bonus 🙂👍
@@VintageParagonUk was the lamp made from uranium glass?
@@WightFossilTours I am not sure, I didnt take it with me but I will check it next time I go 👍
@@VintageParagonUk I was waiting for you to find the burner for it…
I usually find the burners but not glass 🤨
@@WightFossilTours yes me too, I have quite a few of the brass burners but never come across the base bit before
Mudpies sent me ! Cheers !
That's awesome, great to meet you 🙂👍
I don't know what the blue ball thing is but I want it! 💙
It is a lovely piece isn't it 😊
hope you're feeling much better in spirit..i like all your different finds,makes it interesting.do you sell everything you find,or do you at least keep some?
Thanks, Yes I do keep some of the good stuff for myself, the codd went into my collection but I don't have too much space at the moment
Wonderful bottle finds!! Gorgeous codd! Love the porcelain figure and the pipes! Thanks for taking me along with you. Sorry not there to help you fill in the holes afterwards though lol. 🙂♥️

Thanks Debra, Shane has suggested it is a night lamp which makes a lot of sense so I trust his experience. Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Awesome findings...... that cast iron stand n the lamp base would make a fantastic plant stand ( golden pathos/ marvel pathos) .

I would of brought the lamp home grind a ring for the top so you could glue it to the top and mount a wick holder on it and got it going again
Next time I go I will bring it back, it weighs a ton and it is a pretty long walk up hill to get back 😂 It would be so cool to get it going again and clean up the base nicely 👍

Awesome, nice to meet you, glad you enjoyed it 😊
What is a pan yan? I have a couple of ceramic lids with that on and your the first to mention it😯. Oh, and I've got the forks to your spoons 😂😂
Pan Yan is a brand of pickle, they seemed to love it back in those days😂 maybe they just spooned it in 😂
@@VintageParagonUk 🤣🤣🤣that would explain all the spoons😂
@@VintageParagonUk oh and thanks! I didn't know that about pan yan😁😁
My immediate impression of the blue glass bulb was could it be part of a breast pump ?… depends on how smooth the large rim is !
hmm maybe, it looks quite old and fragile though, did they use breast pumps back in those days too? 🤷♂️
Yes they did …. Its just the shape is similar to some Victorian ones but I haven’t seen one in blue before
Beautiful Codd bottle. Cleaned up, it looked like a trophy in the sun. Does anyone know what kind of food products were in the pickle bottles?
Relish, or was that the name because of the shape?
I think one of my favourite Codds I have found on this dump, it has a nice colour. I guess pickled vegetables, back in the day It would be the only veg people would eat during the winter months as they didn't have the choices like we do these days 😁
Could be a rare terra cotta pipe
Oh maybe, that would make sense
