the Magic of…
“Old bottles are beautiful. The glass is flecked with air bubbles and tears; the stoneware burned to a fine gritty texture never seen on modern pottery… And were are these bottles to be found? The fact is that they are all around us – in rivers, in ponds and in long-forgotten rubbish dumps…. Millions of 19th-century bottles were exported from Britain as food and drink containers and as ships´ballast… Dig any 19th-century dump in North America or Australia – and you will find British bottles of that period….” Edward Fletcher, Bottle Collecting, 1972

hardcore british bottle digging – a tough site, taken on by diggerkilroy, an 1880s Victorian rubbish dump on the outskirts of a large industrial town is the venue. “Most enjoyable bottle digging vids on Youtube, thanks and keep them coming!”DrummondsPoint “Main reason for broken codd bottles is because the kids of the day would smash the bottle to get to the marble,there were no health and safety in those days so kids would be waitng for a cart to turn up at the dump and break our hearts years later..” tony74jsy VIDEOS:

Boston Backhoe Bottle Dump Dig. Bill Ladd, Tylor & John, head North of Boston to meet a landowner with a bottled dump on private property, & a backhoe. Yeaaah! In a just few hours, several hundred bottles from the turn of the century & a jug come to light. Thanks for watching!
…two as a contrast
Digger Kilroy burrows into the earth for Victorian bottles. Alan Klein makes bottles in his spare time. Glass, surfaces, topology, history – all have the potential to melt together in this short documentary.Ian Digger Kilroy: Heres a vid made by luke moody,i did with him a while back to help spread the word, it was entered into a number of film festivals with a bit of success, im sure there is scope to do something much more commercial if the right site came up. Bottle Digging and Bottle Blowing – Ian Digger Kilroy resume the pure quality aspects of consistency with a secret of the snails. must seen between! spiritschweppes.com

and clear your thoughts prior to writing. I’ve had a tough time clearing my
thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips?

I believe what you said was very reasonable. However,
think about this, suppose you were to create a awesome headline?
I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your website, however suppose you added something that grabbed people’s attention? I mean Bottle-Digging and
Collecting | spiritSchweppes since 1783 is a little plain. You might peek at Yahoo’s home page and see how they write news headlines to get viewers
to click. You might try adding a video or a related pic or
two to grab people interested about what you’ve got to say.
Just my opinion, it would make your website a little livelier.
You need to be a part of a contest for one of the greatest websites online.
I am going to highly recommend this blog!

the prename “Schweppe” has its mediaval roots in Westfalia/Germany and is common in thisb region. Westfalia is a horse breeding country, Schweppe means “little whip”. Cheers from Germany, Hans-Jürgen
I often visit your site and have noticed that you don’t
update it often. More frequent updates will give your
page higher authority & rank in google. I know that writing posts
takes a lot of time, but you can always help
yourself with miftolo’s tools which will shorten the time of creating an article to a couple
of seconds.
With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of
plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has a lot
of completely unique content I’ve either created myself or
outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any
solutions to help prevent content from being stolen? I’d
certainly appreciate it.
Hello there, the head of google once said: “If you don’t want an act to come online, just don’t do it.” The same applies to me for postings: if you don’t want the world not to see your postings, then don’t post them. The situation is different for publishing objects with copyrights for intellectual property. The legal process for private people is usually too expensive. Conclusion my opinion: who posts his hobby, posts for humanity and removes the content of personal control. I am happy every time I find “stolen” contents from me on the net. Unless they have been changed, they bring joy and advance the knowledge a bit.
