-I started in 1975

-when I was thirteen years of age.

0:00:220:00:25

-I went for a walk down

-to an old dump in Caernarfon.

0:00:250:00:28

-I noticed that people

-had been digging...

0:00:280:00:31

-..and had left some

-of their findings there.

0:00:310:00:34

-Even though they were mostly

-rubbish, I took them home.

0:00:340:00:37

-That's how my interest began.

0:00:380:00:40

-Soon after, I came across

-someone digging in the area.

0:00:400:00:44

-While I was chatting to him

-for the first time...

0:00:450:00:48

-..he dug up an old bottle -

-a local one from Llanberis.

0:00:480:00:51

-I was fascinated by it.

-I became hooked after that.

0:00:510:00:55

-I wanted to dig up some

-bottles myself, so I went digging!

0:00:550:01:00

-For the past six years, we've

-been going there now and then...

0:01:080:01:11

-..digging holes.

0:01:120:01:16

-When I was eleven, one of my

-mother's friends son was a digger.

0:01:160:01:20

-He was five years older than me.

0:01:200:01:23

-I tended to scrape and scratch the

-surface rather than digging holes.

0:01:230:01:27

-I found a local bottle from

-the Dolbadarn Hotel in Llanberis.

0:01:280:01:32

-It was fantastic to dig up

-something local like that.

0:01:320:01:37

-We choose an area

-by looking at old maps...

0:01:440:01:49

-..and old records

-that are held in the record office.

0:01:490:01:52

-There's a large community of us

-across Wales.

0:01:530:01:57

-Some people collect and don't dig.

0:01:570:02:00

-Then there are people like us

-who dig and collect.

0:02:000:02:06

-There are also people who just dig

-and then sell their findings.

0:02:060:02:10

-The best bottles

-are worth thousands.

0:02:130:02:19

-We don't often come across those.

0:02:190:02:24

-Most of the items we dig

-go back in the hole...

0:02:240:02:27

-..because they're not worth

-bringing home.

0:02:270:02:30

-Other items we bring home

-could be worth a few pounds.

0:02:330:02:37

-Some could be worth

-around ten to twenty pounds.

0:02:380:02:41

-It depends what they are.

0:02:410:02:43

-Most of the items

-aren't particularly valuable.

0:02:430:02:48

-Their historic value

-is what's most important to us.

0:02:480:02:52

-If something is worth

-a lot of money, that's a bonus.
