When I was a kid we used to go to some kind of old tip that was below the Bell Hag pub somewhere (can't remeber exact location, it was 30-odd years ago), there were loads of old (Victorian even) bottles there.

went digging to day near wadsley bridge found nothing lol but went for a walk afterwards found old cart track full of broken stone ribbed jam jars n glass usually used as hardcore

I used to go digging for bottles on the bole hills in the 70's, found a lot of clay pipes as well, the area is now the bmx track but there must still be areas to dig just up the hill from the track

Are you allowed to just go and dig these places up or do you need to get the land owners permission?

[puddinburner 10]

Sounds like fun? Maybe? Errrrrr okay.

I have never heard of this, did some googling and some bottles fetch thousands! Do you people here do it for money or as a hobby? I'd get my hands dirty for rewards like that

[charlie1984 10]

some bottles can and r worth hundred some even thousands theres a pot lid as far as i know worth 1million but finding it like finding goldust

[charlie1984 10]
