Congratulations to Greg for being so generous as to share with us this glimpse into the 19th and the early 20th century lives of rural Vermont farm life. Further Congratulations to Greg for that stupendous find of both the bottle and its measuring cup lid. That's incredibly rare, and should be treasured.
That cobalt bottle with the glass measured lid was the find of the day hands down!! I dream of getting to dig in a very old dump. Goodness you found some wonderful keepers Brad 😃
Brad, I'm 79, been metal detecting since my 20's. Found some bottles one time near Spanish Camp, TX. I still have a complete Dr J. Hostetter's stomach bitters bottle and a Henry Downe's ginger ale bottle. The Downe's bottle has a rounded bottom requiring upside down storage to keep the cork moist.
I hope I’m lucky enough to be going out when I am 80 sir. I bet you have some incredible finds and stories. Any you care to share real quick? Regardless loved seeing this comment. Take care.
Bottles are always fun to find! I'm 59 and I used to dig through unofficial dumps as a child and find some interesting items, especially bottles. Sadly, most of the bottles were broken or had been used for target practice(this was in Tennessee). Still was fun to read the embossed pieces and try to figure out their history. I appreciate you sharing your land Greg, and for you Brad, thank you for sharing your adventures and finds!
Just binged the whole Greg playlist Brad...thanks for a pleasant Saturday of high quality content and thank you Mr Greg for your generosity....keep diggin' and keep 'em coming fella's :)
My morning coffee on Friday always go good with a new video from Brad. Good bottle hunt guys. Will be waiting for the next one have a wonderful and exciting a enjoyable Friday everyone.
Happy Friday Brad and Greg! Nothings better than starting my weekend off with a Martin Vermont Hunt! Enjoy some snow free Fall with the family this weekend… all the best from KY💞
The 2 piece is awesome! Had a similar experience... found a small, blue glass bottle with no top. About 20 feet away I found an unusual cap; cup shaped. When I got home, I learned they went together. It was an eyewash kit from the 50s. You just never know what the ground will give up.
I also found a John Wyeth bottle & cap, On the lower portion of the neck of the bottle, just above the rim with the numbers, is a groove. An O-ring fit in the groove and allowed the cap to snap on the bottle to secure it. I used an old o-ring I had saved from some long forgotten project, and it fit perfectly and holds the cap in place.
Omg this video is the best way to start my day (6:38am). Yall made me laugh, feel giddy over the finds and just feel good. I'm a HUGE sucker for old/vintage items and architecture. Great finds! I'm already lookin forward to your next video.
The Wyeth bottle is epic. I had been thinking that the "healthy dessert teaspoonful" was a measuring device. Must be the nurse in me. How cool to have both pieces!
I got ripped a new one on a previous bottle digging video from someone who thought it should be seen as an archaeology dig, I'm glad you are seeing it for what it is. Cool stuff but, no reason to breakout fine brushes and such. Your metal detecting videos are great, and this stuff is right up there also. you are at a location of the country that could include the oldest things we could ever find here. Thanks for the video!
What a fun way to spend a day digging in ... the remains of someone's 100 year old OUT HOUSE remains!!!!! I learned a few years ago while cleaning out an old septic tank thatvery few things will survive in a septic tank. Among those are cigarette filters, condoms and garter belt snaps!
I always use plastic digging tools made for metal detecting to do the excavating of glass because I have accidentally broke some nice finds with metal digging tools, just sayin! Love the videos keep em coming Brad, Thanks for the share.
When I was a boy there were grocery stores all over the eastern side of the country known as A&P Grocery. Their name proudly displayed on many of the items they sold was The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, and yes they sold tea under their own label too. Loose leaf teas as well as bag tea was and still is a big seller in the Southeastern USA. It was a very nice full service grocery store chain, one of the best ones around back then. I think they shut down about 1970, but could be wrong.
Hey Brad and Greg. Another great bottle hunt. Funny the lid to the blue one was found on another dig different from the bottle itself. Cool. Happy diggin.T4 great videos. ✌👍😘
No matter what ur doing Brad it's interesting! Hi Greg good to see u again! The blue bottles are always my favorite, but the when u matched that lid and bottle omg so amazing! 😮😮😮😮
I have to tell you that I cannot physically get out and do this, but I LOVE watching you do it. This is a very relaxing, stress-reducing program...and very interesting too! Thank you for doing this. You remind me very much of my son-in-law, not necessarily in looks, but your mannerisms and the way you carry yourself. :) That's good, by the way!
The ground was incredibly wet this day. It had been raining for the past week and this was the first sunny day and we were digging in mud with standing pools of water near by. When we put our shovels in at least a dozen night crawlers would come out of the ground and start moving away from us! We still made some awesome finds but the mud made it hard to see what was embossed on them until they dried up a little and we could wipe the dirt off. The John Wyeth & Bro bottle with cap is one of my favorite finds from all of our digs. It has a great color and design plus how the pieces were found is a unique story by itself!
Use a glass cutter Brad, to cut the top’s off of the broken bottles to make a drinking glass or vase, ( especially the ones with raised lettering intact ). A Diamond file 💎 will smooth the edge, along with high grade sandpaper. Nice finds! ☺️
Hay Brad , glad to hear yur original intro to yur channel ! It’s original just like Yu & I love hearin it & watchin Yu dig up kool stuff as we all try to identify yur finds ! Keep up th good work !
I love the blue bottle/cap match up. The gin bottle with the fancy neck would look nice filled with dyed water in a window. My mama used to do that with the bottles she found when she was dumpster diving - water and a couple drops of food dye then very carefully set them in a sunny window. We had 4 of them - 3 were kind of square and one had little hexagon squares around the bottom. Don't know what happened to those. I do the same thing sometimes with some of the empty crown royal bottles I got my son to save for me.
That first item you shared looks like a miniature oil lamp ♥️🇺🇸🗝️👍⚒️The blue cap he found was for measuring a medication it the medication bottle would have been blue as well ♥️so now I see you found the bottle that the cap went to
It's a shame about that Hosteters Bitters bottle. It sells for about $50.00. The Wyatt Bros. bottle with cap is worth about $60.00. The Salsman Whiskey bottle is worth about a $25. Overall you guys did very well. I grew up near an A&P Grocery Store. It was our main store for groceries. I don't know what my family would have done without their low prices as we were poor.
I am SOOOOOOO floored with your videos, these particular ones tho, my treasure hunting experience started when I was young, now I'm old😜 with bottle hunting 💯
Who would have believed back in the 40s, 50s that today in 2023 that we'd be digging up their bottles. Brings new light to the phrase( One man's trash is another man's treasure.😊
You always find yourself in great locations. Testament to your research ability and on invites a testament to being a good dude. Because if you weren’t well you wouldn’t be invited back lol.
Even worse are glass slivers. I've been bottle hunting before, and wearing leather gloves are a must. Considering how many bottles they're finding, I wonder what was there?
I used to hang out at the ruins of a brewery. Covered in broken bottles from the 1950s. Most of the edges had been broken so long ago they weren't sharp anymore.
I spent a couple of summers digging in dumps. Got a lot of bottles but my best find was a wrought iron headboard to a full sized bed. I dug another week or so and I found the foot board. I have been using it for the last 50 or so.
Reminds me, as a kid with a bb gun, we would spend hours with all the fun targets. Old dump sites where the glass is the only thing left, makes easy targets. I guess thats why you have to dig for the good ones.
That little blue "cup" with the graduated markings and that says it hold a heaping dessert spoonful is actually the TOP to a bottle. I remember my mother having one like it in her collection.
Sixty or so years ago growing up in Vassalboro Maine for some reason five or six of us boys got started digging up old bottles. Generally we were finding bottles from made between 1800 and 1900. One of the common ones was Dr Kilmer’s kidney liver and bladder cure. Also found some local medicine bottles embossed from Vassalboro Maine.
So interesting. The bottle to be returned reminds me of the milk bottles back in the early 60's my parents had to return for new milk.. It was from the milkman delivery out on Long Island NY.
I once lived in a house built around 1900 in Schenectady NY when I was about 9. While insulating the atic with my dad we found a liquor bottle dump. The guy must have hid his drinking. WE found about 20 labeled bottles from the 20's or so. Very cool, we left them there!
I'm originally from New England and back in the day some people insulated the attic with bottles under the floor boards.Supposedly they retained the heat from the summer and cold from the winter. I was exploring an early home on the coast of Massachusetts and found several dozen pontiled and labled bottles! Those were the days 🙃
Those are some incredible finds, hard to find good places like that where I live. A friend of mine what's to make a glass bottle house, her and her sister what to build one on their property, they live in Mohave. Trying to catch up on my videos, see you tomorrow Brad.👍❤️🇺🇸

Further Congratulations to Greg for that stupendous find of both the bottle and its measuring cup lid. That's incredibly rare, and should be treasured.
I get a kick out of you two.
Enjoy all of your videos, but you and Greg are just a pleasant and happy pair. What a cool bottle that he found!
That cobalt bottle with the glass measured lid was the find of the day hands down!!

Sell the ginger ale to Mr beast, he'll drink it and you'll make grandkid college money.😂
Thanks to you and Greg!!!
I really enjoy when you bottle hunt with Greg. Great finds of history!!!
Greg videos are always a good time! Great finds! More Greg videos please.
Brad, not Greg
Brilliant hope you have a cracking weekend and injoy and see you at the next 😊
This man's land is a treasure chest that never ends, you could dig their for years at this rate, Great finds my friends 😅❤

What a place. The blue bottle and measuring cap is definitely the find of the day, awesome
Thank you Brad and Greg for the adventure and the amazing finding both pieces of a 2 piece bottle !
Just binged the whole Greg playlist Brad...thanks for a pleasant Saturday of high quality content and thank you Mr Greg for your generosity....keep diggin' and keep 'em coming fella's :)

Happy Friday Brad and Greg! Nothings better than starting my weekend off with a Martin Vermont Hunt! Enjoy some snow free Fall with the family this weekend… all the best from KY💞
Living vicariously through you both! Thanks for the show and tell!

Thank you, I didn't know that! I knew something was missing but had no idea what it could be.
Omg this video is the best way to start my day (6:38am). Yall made me laugh, feel giddy over the finds and just feel good. I'm a HUGE sucker for old/vintage items and architecture. Great finds! I'm already lookin forward to your next video.
You and Greg have made detecting viedos so interesting! Thanks so much for submitting to us lowly viewers!
e
I love Greg episodes.
More needed for sure💯
These bottle finds are great! My daughter and i sit and watch them together.
The Wyeth bottle is epic. I had been thinking that the "healthy dessert teaspoonful" was a measuring device. Must be the nurse in me. How cool to have both pieces!

Awesome digging session Brad, yet another fantastic video and saving some history. 😎✌️⛏️
Great video, the quackery around at the time was something else! Your earlier eastern side of the country just shows how much it was front and center.
Happy Friday! What a fun way to spend a day out in nature, discovering history. ❤

So Much FUN! So many keepers. Thanks for letting us see them!
Your so lucky to be able to be on such old ground! Australia is a giant country, and hard to find the old stuff 🙃 thanks for sharing this.
Great finds!! Need to wear gloves for protection. Thanks Greg and Brad for allowing us to watch y'alls discoveries and fortunes to be had.
I always use plastic digging tools made for metal detecting to do the excavating of glass because I have accidentally broke some nice finds with metal digging tools, just sayin! Love the videos keep em coming Brad, Thanks for the share.
Love these adventures! Thanks guys for the peek into our shared history.
Unreal to find that lid and bottle like that! Love these bottle dump videos.

We had them where I grew up near Detroit.
Yes! Friday is finally here! Thanks for all the awesome content!
Greg has a bottle bonanza. So glad he is sharing it with you. Love the chase.
Excellent hunt / Excellent finds. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome finds Brad and Greg.
Hey Brad and Greg. Another great bottle hunt. Funny the lid to the blue one was found on another dig different from the bottle itself. Cool. Happy diggin.T4 great videos. ✌👍😘
No matter what ur doing Brad it's interesting! Hi Greg good to see u again! The blue bottles are always my favorite, but the when u matched that lid and bottle omg so amazing! 😮😮😮😮
Love Greg's sense of humor!
Thank you!
Great video , I really enjoyed it, what a fantastic place to dig, peace ✌️
I used to hunt old bottles myself when i was younger, i love it!
Great video on your finds with Greg. Some of those bottles are a treasure in itself
I have to tell you that I cannot physically get out and do this, but I LOVE watching you do it. This is a very relaxing, stress-reducing program...and very interesting too! Thank you for doing this.

We all need a buddy like Greg!
HEY! Good morning Brad and Greg! Thumbs UP!!
What a day, WHAT A DAY! That two-part bottle was something special and cobalt blue, taboot! Wow, what a day! Cathleen
Use a glass cutter Brad, to cut the top’s off of the broken bottles to make a drinking glass or vase, ( especially the ones with raised lettering intact ). A Diamond file 💎 will smooth the edge, along with high grade sandpaper. Nice finds! ☺️
Hey Brad. That's another cool collection of bottles as usual. Especially your friend Greg finding the bottle with its own little cup, way cool.
Brad love the old bottles absolutely beautiful
Freaking dope man. I live in Colorado and finally found a bottle pit ranging from 20s to 50s so I know that feeling.
Hay Brad , glad to hear yur original intro to yur channel !
It’s original just like Yu & I love hearin it & watchin Yu dig up kool stuff as we all try to identify yur finds ! Keep up th good work !
Bottle digging is so much fun. Great finds on this dig!

I have one of those blue caps in my collection, but I never knew what it was for.
Thanks now I know.
Awesome finds. Antique bottles are one of my favorites
That first item you shared looks like a miniature oil lamp ♥️🇺🇸🗝️👍⚒️The blue cap he found was for measuring a medication it the medication bottle would have been blue as well ♥️so now I see you found the bottle that the cap went to
It's a shame about that Hosteters Bitters bottle. It sells for about $50.00. The Wyatt Bros. bottle with cap is worth about $60.00. The Salsman Whiskey bottle is worth about a $25. Overall you guys did very well.

Your door knob I was thinking might be a ink well. Love your show, no matter what your doing!
I am SOOOOOOO floored with your videos, these particular ones tho, my treasure hunting experience started when I was young, now I'm old😜 with bottle hunting 💯
Who would have believed back in the 40s, 50s that today in 2023 that we'd be digging up their bottles. Brings new light to the phrase( One man's trash is another man's treasure.😊
Saving history one piece at a time....always fun with friends
I'm glad that cap fit that bottle. As you were looking at it I though to myself, I bet that goes with the bottle with the weird top.
You always find yourself in great locations. Testament to your research ability and on invites a testament to being a good dude. Because if you weren’t well you wouldn’t be invited back lol.
Great video Brad great history, loved the hunt. 🇺🇸
Love the finds in today’s video!
Hey Brad, Great video! Nice day of bottle hunting. You guys got some cool bottles! Stay safe out there brother!
Fun video, digging bottles is something I haven’t done for years. The last time I dug a bottle dump I found a whole moonshine jug.
14:45 congrats on a sweet completion
The end of the day while fishing is “ one more fish”, after catching it, you have “just one more cast”!
I can’t believe you don’t use gloves when digging bottles. I would be afraid of getting cut.
I was thinking the same, must be careful Brad!
Even worse are glass slivers. I've been bottle hunting before, and wearing leather gloves are a must. Considering how many bottles they're finding, I wonder what was there?
I cringe every time I see this! Tetanus is serious stuff too!
I used to hang out at the ruins of a brewery. Covered in broken bottles from the 1950s. Most of the edges had been broken so long ago they weren't sharp anymore.
Also in case it's about house pit. Many all the bad stuff dies out while in the ground.
I spent a couple of summers digging in dumps. Got a lot of bottles but my best find was a wrought iron headboard to a full sized bed. I dug another week or so and I found the foot board. I have been using it for the last 50 or so.
Laughed when I saw the videos demo. I just love this PLACE
That looks like so much fun.
First bottle looks to be an ink bottle. A&P operated grocery stores into the late 70’s. Awesome finds!
Another great day digging in the dirt. Doesn’t get any better than that suggestion. You might want to use a trowel to dig around small bottles.
Gordon's dry gin is still one of the best-selling gins on the market today
Love the history of your fines awesome day 👍
Brad, the large whiskey bottle you found , has what they call a "Lady Leg" neck on it. I love the
The small bottle looks like an ink well, most old bottle dumps were old outhouses. Hence seeing the old white lime that was used to curb the smell.
Reminds me, as a kid with a bb gun, we would spend hours with all the fun targets.
Old dump sites where the glass is the only thing left, makes easy targets.
I guess thats why you have to dig for the good ones.
Another cool bottle hunt! Keep on diggin.
Lovlov this! And the blue lid with lines, those are measurements for the med when u pour
That whiskey bottle was fantastic!!!😮🤩👍
That big bottle with the cursive writing was too cool!!!
Very entertaining, thanks for the video!
That little blue "cup" with the graduated markings and that says it hold a heaping dessert spoonful is actually the TOP to a bottle. I remember my mother having one like it in her collection.
Ha! Just got to the part of the video where you found the bottle it goes on!!
