This day I filled in the Bell pit with the spoil that I had taken out. This took less time than I had imagined. So I used the time to go back to the previous dig under the larger topple tree , to explore an awkward corner that i hadn't searched yet. I found some nice items again. But here the ash la...

The penultimate dig started with a morning breakfast at Gary's snack shack . The Graffiti writer SPAT 's girlfriend in attendance. Elisha is the glamourous assistant at the Snack Shack now. Aparentlyly she is fam with Gary. Talk about small world. Spat is one of Londons finest Ginger graffiti artist...

Another visit resulted in me starting work in the hole , but grinding to a halt due to my height and being unable to get in properly. So the Girlfriend of who was with me on this occasion took over. Her name is Kimberley , so I guess she belongs in a big hole in the ground. Didn't find any diamonds ...

Another effort of hours digging resulted in me digging up this fabulous of Marble. It was a little battered , so I had to spray it with WD40 to fill in the scuffs, and then take a picture of it on my Leather camera case. This is by no means any normal marble . This is an old one indeed , and you can...

So this is the new spot I decided to dig next after I had finished in the area around the much larger fallen tree stump. This much smaller toppled tree from winter storms just gone 2013/14. Already there are signs of rust in the soil http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a571/expostieriderjon/Bottle%2...

Over the past couple of weeks while without a profusion of cacti flowers, I have been catching up with Bottledigging on a Mystery 1900 to 1930 dump I found by accident that is just 3/4 mile from my flat. As of yesterday I have now shut down the Bell pit , and after a last scratch around the original...

=^~^= Ok it's been a long time. Haven't really had all that many flowers this season. Autumn ( fall ) is making it's way in now and the nights are drawing in , as well as daytime temps starting to feel a bit fresher. Over the many weeks I have just about scraped up a few pictures of cacti flowers to...

It has been very quiet on the flowers front for the last month , and it's me feel a bit meh. But in recent days I have blooms again. Cant see any more indication for any more after that. Cant believe the season over here in the UK/GB ended so quickly. :( I had an Astrophytum Asterias Hyb bloom and a...

Dr Living Stone I presume ?

Perle Von Nurnberg is Sooo easy !

You can take so many leaf cuttings. Never be without it in the conservatory or garden .

:lol: I'm not sure about that , but if you know where to look there are still old Victorian/ Edwardian and later Bottle and rubbish tips. I went back to the Churchfields location today and spent all afternoon and some of the evening going through the area under the back of the fallen tree's rootball...

August 2014 Norwood Country Park Something pokes it's head out from the soil . Probably dragged onto the surface by Fox's after they dug it out of their den. http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a571/expostieriderjon/Bottle%20Digging%20album/IMG_2978_zpsb83b44f8.jpg . What emerged was pretty exciting...

Ok Today was a pretty awesome day The Girlfriend and I went to Gary's snack shack to get some lunch. I had the Ridgeback Momentum and trailer wit a Watering can , wells and a plastic container with some hopefully viable wild flower seed inside. Plus my Dunlop bag with two three prong cultivators in....

That is an absolute clonker of plant , fantastic looking specimen .

Well done

Went to Churchfields Rec today to do a spot of Bottle digging. I was between a river and the school boundary , nearby there is a concrete bridge over the river , but it goes to nowhere now . If there was a gate there at some time in the past , it's gone now . School playing field the other side of t...
