This was Ilkley between Bradford and Skipton. I think I left that one with the customer

Here's one that I kept in the van:

Yes, I know it well, my parents still live there. Grandpops was also the mayor of the town.

I’ve dug up something else today, not sure what but it’s made of copper:

Any ideas?

A pen that you'd dip in ink... or a victorian coke sniffer

my builders found an old bottle when digging my extension foundations, was from Macphersons in Chelmsford that became Britvic.

What surprised me the most was how little information is available on the web about the company - so much info is still locked away in library archives.

(this is a copy&paste)
1938 The company (a Chelmsford chemist founded in mid 19th Century) is acquired by James MacPherson & Co Ltd, and develops the business to introduce soft drinks as an affordable source of vitamins for the people of the UK .. British Vitamin Company ... BritVic.

copy& paste alert!
Antique French mustard pot. This is a classic example of these very sought after French 18thC pots made in France in the early 1800’s.

I’ve dug up a few tiny little medicine bottles over my allotment. They say it used to be a Victorian rubbish tip. I’m sure I’ve still got them in my shed. I’ll post a few pictures up next time I’m over there.

I'm not ashamed to say that when I dig up old pottery with writing on I get a semi boner

Lol...each to their own.

Nothing beats digging up live WW2 ammunition as a 14 year old...it's though the local Homeguard chucked any left over ammo in the practice fields pond.
Wind forward 30 odd years and the pond had receded sufficient that the metal detector could find them. The cordite still fizzed though.

I read the header quickly 'relic hunting in the Cedar Forest...' and it sounded quite rude (thankfully)
