A LATE SEASON PONTIL GEM RESCUED FROM THE COLD MUD!!
มุมมอง 60514 วันที่ผ่านมา
I wandered through the woods and found 3 dump sites, but they turned out to be already dug. So I drove North and hoped my friend would lead us to something good. He discovered a good spot that dates to the 1840's! I'd been out hunting for new sites in NH six times this spring with slim results. I expressed this in my last video "I can't get no satisfaction " 😊 So it was especially fun to dig a ...

Before I went digging this week, I made a short how-to video on how to tell what era the dump is that you might be digging. The rest of the video includes sifting through a very early 1860s dumpsite I've been digging.

A Fascinating Scuba Find in NH! A Viking style Killick Anchor
มุมมอง 1.4K9 หลายเดือนก่อน
My buddy Chris looks like he's got some Viking blood in him, so I unpacked a mysterious relic I found scuba diving in a NH river that was created with Viking technology, and maybe, at least in my imagination, a Viking who visited our area centuries ago! It's an anchor for a small boat, and is called a Killick anchor. Hit the subscribe button and help me grow my channel. thanks! #shards #upnorth...

I wanted to see if I could drive my truck from Maine, through the Canadian Maritime, take a ferry to Newfoundland and drive all the way around it's perimeter, then take a ferry and wind up in France. Saint pierre and Miquelon to be precise! When I planned this trip, I discovered that there was a herd of wild horses on an island off of Miquelon. If I could find them, it would be the cherry on to...

Thumbs up as soon as the music started😂❤
@@ploppill34 lol awesome 😄
Beauty !
Interesting location! Thanks for taking us along and showing us your finds
Thanks for watching buddy
Hey there! Such a cool dump! I love pottery as well, and those shards are beautiful! Bummed that I wasn't able to make it this time, but I'm really looking forward to meeting you guys and getting in that mud!
Yeah, hopefully not a deep freeze this winter!👍👍
too bad it's muddy - something that early would be real good to sift....
I've done very well with beer cans myself - I assume you use oxalic acid and etc - I'd soak some of the mystery cans to see what they are...but...yah....really need those 30s cans
Neat spot and finds! Thanks for showing your collection!
Thanks for watching!
Interesting stuff
Thanks man
Great collection and finds
Thanks man. Are you finished diving for the year?
@ more than likely yes wasn’t the year I hoped for diving,lots of things going on but hopefully springtime,with the unpredictable weather I might get a chance yet, even scouting out several spots while I work so that’s a start.
I wish you used a metal detector where you found this...money or something else in metal...
Wow great finds!
Pontil time! 😮😮😮
You bet!!
Great finds
Another great find Bram! Reward is waiting for those who put the work in!
Great video
Thanks!
It's not easy--but oh so much fun. Hurry before the snow!😊
Nice 👍👍❤️
Sweet bottles guys !!
I would dig this more systematically ...Id pull the whole rock pile apart and move it...along with buckets of dirt....with stuff that old.....
and possibly sift it
Did you use your Passport or Frivers license at the immigration when boarding the Ferry ⛴️ ? Please reply
@@Folashadejohnson12 needed a passport to get to St Pierre
Nice digs! I found my first ever pontiled bottle this year! I was so excited. It’s a RRR Radway New York from the 1850’s I believe. I went on to find quite a few broken examples in the same pit. I know there’s got to be another somewhere in there!
Maybe just curiosity. Maybe your feet were disturbing the leaf layers and possibly turning up bugs for him to eat.
Fascinating! Love thinking about the hands that touched these pieces so long ago!
I'm always thinking the same thing! Thanks for watching!
Hey Bram- It’s Matt! Great to meet you at the bottle show today
Yayyy! Good for you for digging up dead peoples history!
Pretty nifty Mister ! Love it
Thanks for watching!
Let the digging season commence! 😀 excited for new videos
@@northeastprospector thanks man! Hope you have a good season
Always enjoyable great to get out diving for bottles
@pacediver2594 There a ton more out there! Right? 😄
Great finds!!
Thanks! I'm hoping for some good finds this fall!
45° water! I'm in WA where water is 55° year round! Missed your videos.😊
@@MadelineRose-ep7fj thanks! I didn't get put there much in the hot summer. I missed it too
What's up! Glad you got to go diving! Wish I was there... But hopefully when you head to the woods we will go together! Awesome
@ironmidden867 can't wait to get out there with you buddy!
Productive dive... the stubby insulator is different 👍👍
@Travelling..Bottle..Digger it was a good day. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, I guess one could call it late September if you go by halves. I call it mid September between the 10th to the 20th
Great video and I loved the book!
@@copperstacks9720 thanks for buying my book! Such a great hobby
I saw your cold dive! Nice bottles!
You almost fell off a log and got a cold dive!
Man, those stoneware pieces are awesome! Sweet finds, the short insulator is a beauty!❤
I think there are more down there. That big redware pot was just laying on top. It started to flake off from laying in the sun today and it has a great glaze!
Cool !!
I know you are, but what am I? 😅
At 1:33 there is a big bone-handled leatherworking tool next to the piece of glass. It has an iron edging tool on one end and a crimper on the other side.
WOW👍❤
Thanks for sharing some highlights from your trip.
@Pablo_Del_Norte thanks for watching. It was a great roadtrip!
I believe Burleigh Smart invented it, and Shaw & Clark were the people who bottled and sold it.. Pronounced "Burly". Awesome digs!
Great video and great pontil. I enjoyed it even better after watching it for the second time. If you do go ahead and get the lip chip repaired put it in a future video so we can see it again
nice finds! are you part of any of the bottle digging clubs? i can't seem to find an active one in ma... have a couple spots you could check though if you wanna trade locations!
Awesome coke bottle!
Your book just landed in the mail. I’m super excited to read it. 😊
Awesome thanks for buying it! I hope it brings you good luck!
This hot weather always kills me. Tough to get out and dig. Ill get in the rivers instead though
@@BramHepburn I’ve been battling mono since may so I haven’t been out much this spring. I hope to start feeling better soon I can make some content and find some treasures
A couple of real beauties
I have found some cans simulator to them I didn't know they were valuable at the time Nice Tags
That flask was a cryer!
Have you been back to check the banks after the wild winter storms?
Not yet! Im guessing when i go diving the rivers will be full of branches too!
Thanks for showing us your oil bottle collection and the tunes 😀
