Description
Digging for Treasure: A Guide to Finding Valuable Victorian Rubbish Dumps is a practical guide written by Ron Dale, who shares his own experiences and knowledge gained from years of digging in rubbish dumps. This hobby has been popular among thousands of people in Britain since the 1970s, with roots in the US in the 1950s. The author's expertise lies in uncovering hidden treasures in old refuse, including ceramic pots with printed advertising on them, which were once used to sell homemade toothpaste and ointments. These unique finds offer a fascinating glimpse into the past, particularly during the late 19th century when local chemists made their own products. As the author notes, the thrill of the hunt is matched by the challenge of finding new sites as old dumps disappear under development. This book provides valuable insights and practical advice for those interested in this unique hobby.
