Who Is MADSHOVELMAN

Introducing Paul, the world famous MADSHOVELMAN
Paul started to dig for old bottles when he was just 6 years old in his parents back garden, much to their annoyance, but he loved every second of it. The excitement that each dig brought.

At 8, he was in the local newspaper, in a hole holding some bottles that he had dug and he still has the paper cutting to this day.

Throughout the years, Paul used to sell the old bottles to his teachers at school, making pocket money for himself with each old bottle that he found.

He has dug many sites up and down the country, England , Scotland and Wales over the last 45 years and has an extensive personal collection of his own, which he would not part with.

What We Do

The MADSHOVELMAN process
We start by choosing the next site to dig and begin our preparation. Our team begin the dig, carefully and with great precision - ensuring not to cause damage to the various bottles and jars that we find.

Once collected, we take them back to the work station for a thorough multi-step cleaning process and polish, ready to hit our shelves and be photographed.

We take extra special care throughout the process to bring our customer the best of the best.
