Title: LLanelly Bottles Post by: Dylanj on July 25, 2011, 03:53:13 PM Hi there guys
im a new member just wondering wether any of you guys have come across any bottles on your detecting and if any of you guys have any Title: Re: LLanelly Bottles Post by: Neil on July 25, 2011, 06:20:30 PM Greetings Dylanj and welcome to Detectingwales.com
I found a bottle dump earlier this year and pulled out about 10 completing ones dating to about the turn of the century and shortly after. I have found about 20 in my detecting years - one on a beach and the rest in pasture or on unbelievable plouged soil. Cheers Neil Title: Re: LLanelly Bottles Post by: tyna on July 25, 2011, 06:54:43 PM Used to go bottle dump digging 30 odd years ago Dylanj. More recently a lot of bottles are exposed for collection at low tide in the petrified forest exposed at Wisemans Bridge :o. Winter tides are the best for discovery :)

Although I have not come across many bottles, I do have one I'm particular found of. Unfortunately it's not complete but it like it anyways. It's quite plane, but on the back is the date 1533. This was the year Elizabeth 1st was born, and given my fascination with the Tudors, it was nice to have something from that date. :D It was a luck find in fact, I got a nice signal with my detecting and whole digging I found the bottle. The signal was a nice Victoria 2p, a double success in my eyes ;D Like I said though the top is broken off but never mind, I was pleased :D Title: Re: LLanelly Bottles Post by: Jassy on July 25, 2011, 10:12:01 PM ive got an old bottle dump at the back of my house on my farm, have dug all manner of bottles of all shapes and sizes.
