2 Day Dig, Bottle Dump Digging South Wales UK

- Опубликовано: 12 мар 2021
- Back at the usual spot at the dump this time with a few nice bottles but looks like I hit a bit of a sparse patch so I came back the next day to give it another go and also went to another spot in my hunt for some nice bottles from South Wales.
Here is the link to my video where I found the 'Dinna Forget' page:

Lovely nice clear video keep it up love watching your fines 👍🏴
Awesome, thank you!
Love that talc bottle, and never seen a domestic bottle like that. Thanks for replying to me know insta.
Thanks Chris, glad you are enjoying my videos 😁👍
The shell thing you found looks like an old stage light sheild they used to put them around the edge of the stage so the shielded the audience from the light and directed it towards the stage.
Yes I think it must have been something like that but not sure what it was doing there on its own like that 🤷♂️
I really love your videos immensely
Thank you, that is kind of you to say 😊
I love the pace of your episodes. The beer bottle is awesome and the Corona is classic
Thanks, It is hard to know if I go too slow sometimes and people get bored but I am glad it is just right 😊👍
I love your vídeos fantastics thanks 😸💐💐💐👏
Thank you so much 😀
You had a beautiful assortment of inks and bottles
Thanks Susan 😊
Some nice finds well
Done
Cheers mate
i think maybe the shell thing is bathroom item,maybe for soap,who knows,think thats what makes the hobbie so interesting.keep up the good work.
ooo maybe, the shell theme would suit a bathroom, thanks 😁
Very clean bottles.
sparkling clean! 😀
Nice finds, love the inks! x
Thanks, me too!!
Yay!! More Welsh bottle diggers. Do you mudlark as well? Nice to see your video show up on my feed. I'll be going to watch your earlier ones, to give me a feel for your style. ;) All the best from Canada.
Hello 😀 I do sometimes mudlark but at the moment with all that is going on in the world I have this lovely dump to search to keep me busy
Keep on going 👍 carefully . Great vids
Oh I will do 😊
Nice one mate I was digging bottles as a kid in the 70s had loads of stuff but got bit older an bought a 22 air rifle so not much was left but the tip we dug on is still mostly untouched I don't know where your from but your quite welcome to send a message for the location " cods warners lids cream pots an loads of gingers found on this tip had a few red lip cods an some with a green marble
Thanks mate, I might take you up on that one day. I am in South Wales if you are not too far away?
@@VintageParagonUk in Manchester the tip is in glossop nice clean soil never found a bottle that was sick if you know what I mean
Awsome dig there ! Enjoyed watching from Dorset ! 👍😁👍
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it.
19:12 Because this is the 1st video of yours I'm watching, I don't know if you cut broken Codd bottles down or not. I know there's a market for them in the U.S.A., & Si-finds seems to have good luck selling his down by London. :)
I do cut some down but at the moment I live in an old Victorian miners cottage and my neighbours are very close and cutting the bottles is very loud so I try not to do it too often
Nice finds ,looks like a great site you've got there very peaceful . I'm in staffs found my 1st blue poison today. Always enjoy your videos keep it up!
Thank you, it is very peaceful there, when it is nice weather I enjoy just sitting by the stream. well done on your first poison, the first of many I hope 👍
@@VintageParagonUk yes fingers and toes crossed, I need to learn your digging trick is it just 1 click? Ha. I look forward to seeing your next outing. Cheers
I like the pickle jars.
they are quite useful too 👍
Nice finds today!
Thanks mate 👍
Very interesting. I love the local bottles but what you have there is a slice of Welsh social history. Have you tried tracing any back to source? I should imagine that Tudor Williams was a chemist in Aberdare. I used to work there and also in Merthyr. Rich industrial history.
Thanks, I usually do research them for myself, would you like to see more info in the videos about some of them? That might be quite interesting and if I have time to put that together. I do like finding the personal items other than bottles, I find it fascinating.
Yes I would. My Master's degree is in Welsh social history but these days I appreciate research already done!
Love the inks!
Thank you, I like a good ink too
Nice finds, well done! Love the beer! Shame you didn't get a whole codd this time.. Oh well - there's always next time!
Thanks Kyle, Codds are a rare find for me on this dump, stupid kids 😂
Nice finds Ed, always got to be worth looking in different directions mate, even if only so you know theres nothing there, keep it up buddy 👍
Cheers Phil, definitely worth a look and now I know. My next vid has a few gems in it going in the other direction 😁👍
I worry about you alone in those deep holes; please be careful. In the flip side it’s nice the rain/wash helps with the digging!
I am super careful once I get a bit too deep, I don't want to get stuck down there 😬👍
Though you didn't find a ton of bottles in that great big, deep hole, the ones you found were different. I liked seeing something different. That cow's head was the most realistic piece of decorative pottery I've seen come from a bottle-digger hole. It's really cool!
I'm glad to begin following you! Very nicely done!
Thank you, I actually quite like to find the things that aren't bottles, nice pieces of social history 😀
Amazing collection of bottles! Hard work paid off. 🏆
Will you be selling any. Not the kind of bottles we find in Texas!
Well done. 🦋
Thank you, I do sell some of my bottles on Etsy, there should be a link in the About section and in the descriptions of the videos. Delivery to the US is very expensive though but there are some cheaper options if you don't mind to wait a little longer
@@VintageParagonUk
I’ve bought several bottles and postage is unbelievable! Look forward to other options and more videos. Stay safe. 🦋
@@sisD It all depends on weight so if you see anything you like send me a message and I can quote a few prices for different delivery services 👍
well done
Thanks 🙂
Can’t win every dig but what you did find was rather nice.
Oh yes, I enjoy every dig but I was being a bit spoiled 😂
Your fancy bottle is a ladies perfumed talk powder. Not sure which one
Thanks Iris, it is always great to have a bit of help with some info 👍🙂
Just started watching your videos and enjoying them, my concern though is that you left a hole that should a hedgehog fall I it wouldn’t be able to get itself out.
Hello, nice to meet you, I am glad you are enjoying them🙂 I usually always leave them filled in so that an animal can get out but as I was returning the next day if a hedgehog did fall in I would be there to rescue him 😁👍
Thanks for that can sleep tonight!
Oh my, Have mercy on your finds. Any one of them would make my day. When you think about it, those relics will never be replicated and I'm so glad you are rescuing them for someone can appreciate them for a good many years to come. Thank You. As Noralee Stone suggested, If the top is broke, (upcycle) cut those puppies down and sell them. : ) Excellent job on the cleanup. Been drinking Corona for years. Don't mind if I do. : )
you are 100% right, I wasn't having a great day that day in general so I think I was just being grumpy 😂 I do cut them down so have been keeping the nice ones so I can do them all in one go when I get around to it 👍 Thanks for watching 🙂
Digger 73 here from Sheffield you've got a lot to learn 73 is when I started digging get in the very bottom of the bank and work in patiently you won't miss anything and you won't cover undug tip which I hate I've had so much stuff on so called dug out tips using this tactic
Hey Barry, I usually do get to the bottom as that is where the lovely seam is on this tip and follow it up the hill, there has been a few occasions where it was a little too deep for me on my own or not enough time but that is okay, I don't think there will be anything too special here as it is a small mining town dump, you never know though. this dig seemed to be in a bit of a dead zone though but that is how it goes sometimes.
Some beautiful finds, my favourites are the ink bottles. How do you get the bottles so clean ? I look forward to seeing more of your finds.
Thanks! I do love a good ink bottle myself. The bottles come out very nicely here with hardly any sickness which is great but I usually give them a quick soak in brick acid (hydrochloric acid solution) to get off any rust or any other gunk 👍
You’ve dug more in two days than I have in the last month lol
I think I have been a bit spoiled with this dump 😂
Could cut those bleach bottles down to make candle holders, the bottoms looked decretive.
They had quite a nice colour too but they will be long gone now 😕
@@VintageParagonUk Keep in mind for next time. :)
Beautiful inks, I like the variety of colors and shapes. Too bad that you couldn't dug up a whole codd bottle. I love the jar that resembled a spider web. Now you know where to dig next time. Well take care and stay safe. By the way, what is your name?
Thanks so much Debra, my name is Ed 👍 I do love a good ink bottle, and you are right, the finds were flowing today so next week will have a few nice bits in there 😉
New subscriber (docking bay 51 ) few to binge watch some great finds how do you get them so clean ? I’m always grateful when diggers don’t take all their finds as I just pick off the surface of what is left behind
Thanks that means a lot, I really enjoy your videos😊 I think I am quite lucky here and they come out of the ground in great condition so usually bottle brushes do the job but a quick soak in brick acid usually gets off any remaining rust and crud 👍 I have a little pile of bottles there that are complete but not as interesting but I cant bring myself to re bury a perfectly good bottle again, I think maybe one day I will go back and get it 😂 I like finding the little bits and pieces too, thanks for watching, I am glad you liked it 🙂
The perfume bottle with the nice pattern would make a lovely cookie stamp and the talcum is like a spider's web in glass. The shade is very familiar, it is from a wall sconce my neighbor has them in her hall. All the houses around here are late Victorian, Edwardian like mine or very early 1920's. Any medicine bottles you find are interesting to me because I am a pharmacist. I also do canning so I like to see the old pickle and sauce bottles .I do worry that you have to dig so far down because of the risks of a cave-in. I am sure you are very careful, but still? Look forward to the next hole!
Thanks Tara, my first thought was the lights along the front of the stage in a theatre but I don't think there was anything like that around this area. A cave in is always in the back of my mind when it gets past my head height so I go extra carefully and try to avoid it if I can. I will leave the deeper areas for when I have some company, just in case 👍
Hi, new viewer here. Like the show. May I ask how you target the digging locations? Are these old dump sites, old privies, or just random sites.
Thanks
Ken
Hello and welcome, this is an old dump site in an old mining village in the Welsh valleys, it was all down a hillside and was plenty there.
Are you digging alone? That dirt would swamp you in moments. As a mum I am chastising you and telling you to dig with a companion or two. Your vid is excellent by 5he way! Cheers!
It looks a lot scarier through the camera but I do go extra careful when it starts getting about 6 foot, I do try to dig the shallower bits but sometimes it is hard to know where the bottom is before you dig it out. Thanks for the concern, rule no.1 never put your head underground 👍 Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 😁
Good age
Thanks
That comb looks like a nit comb
oh lovely 🤢 at least they looked after their hygiene I suppose.
Just one question..... do you use a fork to dig with?? Highly recommended for opening up the hole and caving in.
I dont have a fork at the moment, I know it is usually the usual kit for a digger but all my finds are right at the bottom of the tip so manage okay without one but it is on the list of things to get. My backpack has 2 broken zips so that is at the top of the list 😂
Be careful down In those holes matey! That’s a lot of soil...
Thanks I will do, when it starts to get over my head I take extra care 👍
@@VintageParagonUk I often dig trenches as I'm a builder and I've seen what can happen especially if the soil is wet. Seeing you on your own at the bottom of those holes just makes me feel a little queasy..
Keep up the good work.
@@gdfggggg I know what you mean, I have gotten to know this tip quite well and it is quite stable, I think all the bramble roots give it quite a lot of support but I am still cautious when it gets deep. I thought it would be a shallow hole that day 😂 I am leaving the areas that I know will be way over my head until I have someone else with me just in case
I used to dig with my dad in the early eighties , a well known collector / digger was sadly buried alive under many tons of clay cap . From what I remember his name was John England . It was in Shipley - West Yorkshire . Keep safe & do not undermine clay cap
@@iwright621 I work in a lot of clay, it falls off in huge chunks, very heavy.
Do you sell any of your finds? Im in 🇺🇸 and am interested in your blue ink n may be orher items.
Yes, I have a shop on Etsy, the link should be in the description and in my about section or just search for VintageparagonUK on Etsy. Shipping to the US is quite expensive but if you don't mind waiting I can send them economy which is much cheaper but can take a few months, feel free to message me on there if you have any questions 👍
Well! I guess I worried prematurely about your lack of enthusiasm. LOL I love your round-up with the turntable. Everything looks spectacular. I'm so happy that I have another British RUclipsr to watch. Must have something to do with my W.A.S.P. roots, eh? LOL Good luck on your next dig. I'll be watching.
Hey,dude liked the vid shame about the cods, look out for a Dr Laing's Cream sauce bottle Bloomsbury Works Leeds I had one but it broke.
Keep digging dude!
Thanks very much, I am glad you enjoyed it 👍
Thanks mate, I will keep an eye out for it 👍
i.m a bit afraid for you,pretty risky digging by yourself,
I try not to go too deep when alone but this one kept on going down, thanks for watching 👍
15:30 My goodness that's a gorgeous piece of willow pattern. You've got almost the whole plate. I'm so jealous. ;)
Thanks, It was a nice bright one too
Do you still go out bottle digging?
Not so much these days as I have been moving around a lot and not spent the time to find new dumps but it is still something I enjoy to do when I do come across some new spots 👍
P.S. Additional pedant comment. Rhondda. The dd rule applies. Pronounced Rhontha.
That is one that I though I had right 😮 I like your feedback as I like learning these things to get it right, I did notice I pronounced Pentre slightly wrong too.
A few nightclasses in beginners Welsh and you'll be mutating like a pro 😀😀
09:38 From what I've learned watching other videos, bottle digging is like travel: It's not all about the destination, but the journey. If you're not enjoying the whole experience, don't do it. Life is much too short, as many people learned this past year. I thought you did very well with your finds. I like how you stop & show them during the video, and you're not just showing the bottles, but everything. Perhaps if you had a partner, it might make the process more enjoyable. Just thinking out loud...
It is true, I do love the digging part too, I think I was just a bit disappointed in the moment as I had such a nice seam right next to this hole which had totally disappeared, I think I have been a bit spoiled but that is how it goes, you never know until you take a look 🙂
You had a beautiful assortment of inks and bottles
It was a great weekend, I do love a nice ink!
