Hi, firstly congratulations to everyone for making this cool site! I spent hours here last night reading posts old and new.
So, some of you may remember a kids tv show (in the UK) called Why Dont You? it was always shown in the mornings of the summer holidays. Well, i remember watching a feature on there about some people digging up old bottles at a victorian dump......and i was intrigued!! i spent all that summer holiday trying to find a dump to dig in. Baring in mind that this was about 20 years ago and i was about 12, i didnt have any luck finding a dump, or any old bottles dispite digging up half the garden, the local woods and a few farmers fields. Anyway, while walking in some woods yesterday, quite close to home, i noticed that there was broken bits of old looking glass absolutly everywhere! It didnt take long before i realised that after all these years i had just stumbled upon where to dig!! LOL. I only had a bout ten minutes and my feet for digging, but if i can work out how to do it i'm about to attach a/some pic/s of my loot.....if anyone can shed any light as to what they are, how best to clean them (bareing in mind that i have no special equipment or cleaning materials), i would love to hear from you. I have identified a few from reading this forum last night but anymore help would be appreciated. Sorry for the RANT but I'm kinda excited about all of this!! haha Cheers!
