old bottle digging


Recommended Posts

blue top ginger beers, dig em and get em on ebay plenty of collectors out there looking for the odd unusual one, best bottle I've had was 20p from a car boot sale, gilbertsons wedge in clear, 1001 quid on the bay.. find a blue one or a green one and book your holiday... :clapper:

 

there's a couple of sites on bottle digging worth having a gander at, see if you can recognise something that you dug..

 

I once dug a slipware plate piecrust edging, big thing it was but it was in half so I threw t back in the dig.. doing some research some time after I found it (similar one) in a millers book 2-3 grand it were... :icon_eek:

i have found a few of the ginger bear bottles and a few old clay pipes and a few coins any one any ideas on how to clean coins up

 

i think you can get hold of some potent acid stuff for cleaning coins i have no idea whats its called though.

Indiscriminate use of acid can cost you a fortune damaging the portrait,reeded-edge and reducing the face-vale and grade of coin :icon_eek:
