My Dad asked me yesterday if I would like to go metal detecting with him, I of course jumped at the chance I love digging for buried treasure. Unfortunately, the weather was not the best just as we started to dig, it decided to pour down and we looked like a pair of muddy drowned rats, that did not stop us though. We had a great time and although we didn't find any Viking treasure we did find some lovely stoneware and vintage bottles.
I was very lucky and found two vintage cream pots from Carricks Cumberland Dairy, I think they are aged about 1880.
I also found a vintage glass ink bottle, medicine bottles and I think the large one may have been a gin bottle, although I am not sure I will have to do a bit of research on some of these.
The photo above shows two dark green bottles. The first one is 5 1/2 inches high and the second one is 5 inches.
The last items I unearthed were four brown Bovril bottles.
My Dad also unearthed some stoneware and glass bottles, although I haven't had a chance to have a look through his hoard!!
