Where do we get our probe rods?
Go to the website below, and scroll down. There is a weird probe with a wide tip and the top of the page. IT’S NOT THAT PROBE. The standard starter probe is a 4 foot rod with a small welding bead at the end. This is not a paid promotion.

Where do we find the maps?
You can go to the library of congress website and type in “sunburn map” or “plat map” and then the name of the town or city. Most town maps from across the U.S. are not on the site, so there is no guarantee, and they can sometimes be hard to find. You can also try the same keyword search in your state archives website, which will likely produce better results (especially for smaller towns).

Tom. Recovering history and waging war on sleeves.
Love the videos.
Hun I'd hate to do your laundry lol but I love your videos. Great content. Love history. Have a great day Tom.
Since 1891 20 Mule Team Borax laundry detergent and his clothing will look like new 😂
Yes, I would have to add some bleach.....maybe a squirt of Betadyne.
Hi Tom great dig
Sorry Hi camera man Jake ?
My wife doesn’t understand why I am addicted to your videos but I just love watching. I want to start digging holes!
Buy your wife a good/decent metal detector and find some place you can find things. That should draw her in.
I love how you say, "No one really knows where the houses were," yet you figure out where the alleys, back yards and latrine pits were.
I grew up on a farm near the Iowa Minnesota border. Dad loved to dig around the nearby deserted farm places (with the permission of our neighbors/friends). Slightly off topic, but seeing the beautiful black earth makes me so homesick! Greetings from Nebraska
Also the black dirt in Illinois, where my mom grew up.
Tom- your experience is better than ground penetrating radar!! Great show- thanks!!
I love seeing the crock pieced back together!
Thanks for the video Tom. It’s easy to see how much you enjoy the digging! 👍🇬🇧
Thank you for continuing to deliver great content .
I always look forward to your next video!!
I love the hunt for old treasures as I metal detect myself but just love your digs!!!
Wow, I’ve never seen one of these before!!! Gotta love the enthusiasm 😊
I binge watch this channel on weekends I’m starting early today 😂 love digging up old history!
Could you please do a video on the actual process of locating a pit? I live in new zealand and would love to know some methods to try here, thanks for all the videos nonetheless 🙏
I admire your dedication to your chosen occupation... I have been enjoying watching your downloads... Thanks again to you and your crew.... Great editing and content.... Keep on digging...👍 Be Blessed and stay safe.... Happy to see that you're wearing gloves... Old outhouse dirt has to be loaded with all sorts of bacteria and disease.... Good job 👍
He restores carriages too..I saw an interview. Very talented guy
Tom do you have any plans to show us HOW you probe and figure out where to dig? That would be fascinating ❤❤
I look forward to your new episode Notifications every week guys!! thank you...great stuff!
I'd be happy to do your laundry after you dig and videotape your digging and help you dig. Thanks for the info. I have some old bottles like that. I learned stuff from you watching this. New subscriber here.
you never cease to amaze me on digging
Tom another series of amazing digs. Loved the Anoka Mn bottles. A lot of hard work, you continue to amaze us with your skill to find the privies. 👍👏👏😀
Hi Tom, ..great video, always love watching them and love your voice 😉
As Jeff said, "Come on Tom, hutch me!" Awesome pits!! Good work Tom and Jake!!
Boy Tom a bunch of awesome bottles. Boy your shoulders are going to hurt with that sunburn. Love your videos.❤❤❤❤❤
Interesting, well produced. Natural enuff for us to feel included tho!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m hooked on your channel - this is fascinating
Always interesting what comes out in your digs. People sure had a lot of aches and pains,dependence on liquor and drugs, 🤔 not unlike today but more readily available and cheaper. No wonder some of those towns burned down or got so broken,the folks were either drunk,drugged or hungover.
Love From TEXAS !!
Ahh no Kilner Jars this time!…love the videos! 😎
Love your channel. I did a quick Google dive on the Spavin Cure. It contained opium. It made the community in Vermont where it was made fairly wealthy evidently.
Love watching your videos. It's always so interesting. Australia!
Great pits and finds! Keep on digging!
Great video. I enjoyed watching what you find! Thanks so much 😊😊😊
Always wonderful videos. Thank you 😊 UK.
When watching these videos, I find myself saying wait what’s the over there or wait you just passed over something……lol I would love to dig in a pit. 😊
I'd love to see what you'd find in the original 13 colonies! I'm in NJ and would love to find artifacts. Decades ago, my Dad found loads of glass in the trails by our house. Unfortunately, he passed away, and i have no idea how he found the pit.
I can’t wait for Saturday so I can see what you dig up❤❤
Nice search.
Another great video! Thanks for sharing!
Nice. Great dig. Take care.
The iron screw was used as a "pick line" for the horses. The farms didn't have fences. The horses were put out in the meadows to graze with the pick line. When the horse had eaten the grass, he would be moved to another area.
Very nice bottles, congratulations!
Could you do a video about how you clean and preserve your finds after you have dug them out of the old pits?
And probably also about where and how you research all the additional information you give us about the brands, companies and their history?
Also I would like to know if you ever found things wich were tossed out by accident, like coins, jewellery or silver items like cutlery.
Thanks in advance and good luck finding some more interesting sites!
Good one. Thanks!
Such cool finds. You do amazing things. ❤
Thank you!
You're awesome! Love your videos!
Hello Tom. From north west Ohio. Great video
Amazing dig!
Those Redwing crocks can go for crazy money.
Love the videos ❤
Yoooo lets dig into this shite
Love the vids bro
Castoria isn't castor oil. Its active ingredient is senna, and it's delicious.
My German grandfather, his three brothers and their dad were bootleggers.
When the home place was ready to be burned, there were items that the resident brother buried. (He kinda lost his mind) We dug for two weeks finding China, glasses, silverware but no $$$. Most of it was buried in the earthen basement floor.
When they eventually burned the house down my grandfather was worried about an explosion. He couldn’t remember which wall moved to hide the still. My cousin jumped into trying to find it be punching holes in the basement walls, zip, no explosion either.
Thanks
Some good digs for you!
The Bakelite case that you found is for a Gillette razor and the blades go on each side of the in the little square pieces
Hi Tom, I new to your channel. Loving watching your discoveries. How often do these sunken areas yield buried finds?
Just curious as we live in an old area. Have you considered making a video for us amateurs that want to do some digging?
I find it interesting how some of the cast iron products of the era, such as that stove leg (notice the taper of the top portion), were designed to key or wedge together in assembly. I think that such designs would not only assemble more quickly, but be less prone to break during assembly.
When your holding a Shoofly liquor flask in an old privy and a house fly lands on the flask.
Just two species visiting a place our ancestors frequented.
Did you find the dog?😮
Wow
You're the bomb diggity
You remind me of Dwight Yoakum the country singer. Do you sing? Just curious.
Love your videos. I haven’t seen where you talk about the meaning of words, use layer, tops of different bottles etc. watching from Alaska . Our town was started in the 1700’s. Wish you could dig here
The use layer is the actual poop pit of the outhouse. Applied top, tooled top, etc I don't know. It has to do with the way the bottle was made. I think applied top is older than the tooled top, but that's just a rookie's guess!
Have you ever done any digs in Clifford North Dakota? Really find what you do very interesting.
How far down do you generally have to dig before you hit the goods? It looks like some of those holes look more than 2 feet deep. I would love to excavate one of those old privy's, but would be highly pissed if I worked my ass off digging a 3 ft deep hole to find only a handful of not-so-special artifacts. Its a crap shoot I guess.
haha yeah. we dig a bunch of holes that arent even worth uploading so its kind of a crapshoot. but generally its around 3 feet but sometimes its like 8 feet. and other times its literally a few inches. typically the stuff thats within 2 feet tends to be more broken, i think because they would fill them in with trash, and probably because the freezing and thawing damages them too. but its usually around 3 feet
You mentioned digging on the east coast. Have You ever dug in Ohio?
When you're probing, how can you tell that you've hit ash? Hitting glass would be pretty easy to tell. Thanks, great videos.
I can't read the fine print on that vintage enamelware advertisement displayed on screen at 6:45, but I'm willing to bet dollars-to-doughnuts that the $5.95 price was for the entire set of fifteen (or more) pieces illustrated.
That vermont piece from Bj Kendall had an Obscene amount of heroin in it, which in turn got a lot of their other products was heroin in it. In turn, it got their employees hooked down heroin. Intern, what's the town on heroin. I'm from Vermont about 15 minutes from where Kendall operated. My friends with the owner of the building where he produced his patent medicine. He also had a store front. He was swindled out of his company by his partners. This happened when he decided he needed to get away to get sober.
When you say seeds what are they from or anyone ca answer if you know?
When you say “We’re in it”everyone knows what that means!
How do you tell you hit stove ash with the probe?
Would be nice if you would state the value of the bottles.
1st and Ready. This pit is loaded? Hope so........
Interesting to watch diamonds dug from dung holes
Why don't you use a brush as to not break things?
I can image what the people were wearing. No cars. maybe no electricity.
You often mention stove ashes when you are probing the ground yet we never see such evidence when you open the pit. Why not?
A spavined horse has injured his hock (hind leg, anatomically like a human knee).
I'm not sure where human flesh comes into the discussion.
Always enjoy your videos.
Ghostofachan,It said it was for human flesh so they must have taken something harsh from the horse formula,so people could use it for rheumatism.
Do you ever worry that you may be digging a grave site? Have you ever?
That would be creepy!
Ain’t no way to watch entire….I look to the end. I get it, but bottles, bottles, bottles can’t be your 401k. TH-cam can only do so much.
Complimentary algorithm enhancement comment!😊
Thanks, loved watching, well Mr twist-oh-flex, I know your great in bed. Much love, you are fun. Afriend.
I hope you don't find the dog
Young sir you make me nervous to see you not wearing knee pads , who knows what bacteria could get in a cut on your knees. Love your show though.
Pipe stems were made of Vulcanite!!!! Not Bakelite. Different plastic type. Actually Vulcanite is a hardened rubber substance. Just so you know (and I've commented on several videos where you have found them). So I've established YOU DONT READ COMMENTS. So I'm done watching. Buhbye
