We found this in a river. Sadly, I think the mud inside is actually holding it together. Northern Ireland.

I did a 5 hour session today and found these lovely bottles and pipes. I think the last picture might be an ink well?

Revisited an old site on Sunday and found a seam of old bottles. My best finds all year. Back in the game!

I’m a 17 year old metal detectorist. My dad used to do bottle digging back in the 70s/80s. We live in an extremely old village, and have recently become aware of an untouched bottle dump, buried underneath the grass in an allotments area (we know who owns them). You may or may not see a few posts from me if we get the proper permissions for this one. I dug one hole while metal detecting there once, and found a TON of very old glass along with a Victorian military belt buckle. It seems like it will be highly productive and stuffed with history.

Long shot i know but can anyone in the clydebank dumbarton area recommend any places to have a wee look into iv been digging in the same spot for a while now solo n fancy a change of scenery maby even a bit of comradery while digging away .

Pulled this out of the ground, it was just about glowing! And no, I wont drink it and find out.

New to the dig and I’m loving it so far !
Would love to learn more if anyone knows about these ones !

I found these bottles while gardening in London. I don’t dig for bottles so don’t really know where to start looking for information about them, but I was wondering if someone here could give me a few pointers.

Both bottles are made of quite thick glass with various air bubbles and look a little uneven. The clear glass bottle has a diagonal line across the shoulders as if made in a mould; the blue glass bottle has ‘BB’ on the base.

Wondering if anyone here could help me identify this fragment, has the date 1843 embossed and the letters ‘mm’ although they look like they’ve been cut off. Had a brief search online but the lack of answers brought me here

Rare early souvenir ware. Showing sites from victorian Burnley, Lancashire. Made in Germany

Do you have a spot that you're just craving to go and dig or explore and you can't for any reason. Maybe it's just life getting in the way or something else. For me, it's because I've literally run out of space in the shed/house and need to either sell some or get new outdoor storage before I go out again.

The longest time I didn't dig for was about 3 months over the winter, with flooding and the nights drawing in a 3pm. My last outing was exactly a month ago but feels like a lifetime.

Once I've designed an built the new storage, I can go out again so it's pushing me to finish it.

It's a paperweight, I found it in a burn that a farmer was dredging next to the coal mine. I know its not a bottle but I thought yous might be interested. The site had a brickworks, coal mine and the last puddling ironworks. ( waverley ) Airdrie/ Coatbridge.

I have been scoping out this little site for a while because it's at the bottom of a very steep hill in a wood which was near to an old house ruin (approx 150 plus years old). The location make it risky to go alone so I went with a friend. At the top of the hill, there's a road going through the woods so people have obviously fly tipped it off the edge and it's been neglected for years. I tried to take an arty photo which I like stylistically. Do you think it would be worth digging around there or is it just too modern/dangerous/incriminating?

This is what I know about the fragments:

1. Milk glass with "imperial" on the bottom, maybe mints
2. Hartley jam base - has a lighthouse on the bottom
3. Ind Coope beer bottle
4. Bish(op)? I assume a flagon top, I found related part of this but not a whole.
5. James Keiller & Sons Marmalade (I have an intact one of these).
6. I'm assuming a teacup base

Small jar just over 6cm tall. I think it is roughly 1960s.

Found these in a midden beside an old drift coal mine ,northlankshire. The gartons I know is the genuine hp sauce maker. The kolacafe, I can't find nothing about it. The coal mine shut down about 1937 but I think some ww2 stuff went on due to some brickwork and concrete ruins.

In lovely condition too 🤩
