- Tools of the bottle digger. I use these tools when looking for and digging bottles. I then begin to explore the dump I have found and explain in detail what I am looking for and show how I do it. I do make one very interesting discovery of a really neat "Buffalo Lithia Water" bottle that I have not seen before.

Me and my 5 year old son love watching your channel. You teach me so much and make me so excited to get out and hunt.
Have you ever thought of doing a bottle collection video?
I would love to see those all cleaned up and hear about some of their history, as I'm sure others would as well.
Love your vids Beau, keep having fun
Mate you're a legend..and yes you have to do more of these dry land digs..great looking bottle.
I would love to see more bottle digging videos.
That last bottle was a fantastic jewel! Finding one that old means there are more like it around there! Can't wait until you go back.
That Buffalo Water bottle is a keeper for sure. Liked it a lot. Definitely should go back and do a part deux. Thanks Beau!
Excellent Beau! Most definitely you need to video more from this area! Love the old bottles!
Yeah Beau I love your adventures whether in the water or on land they are always funny and entertaining!! Film the bottle dig!!!!
please always tape I in joy your video so mush and get to see things I can no longer do because of my back and leg from truck wreck a few years ago thank you so much
Beau, I especially love the Buffalo bottle at the end. And yes I would like to see "moar" videos on this dig site.
It never fails, someone always gives you a thumbs down. Maybe they are just jealous of Mr. Chigg. But anyway, thanks for putting these awesome finds here for us all to enjoy!
Beau Ouimette, thank you so much for pronouncing your name. I have such a hard time saying Ouimette when I tell people about you and what you do. It may be funny to you, but I have so many friends that subscribed to you and like me watch everything. I'm not Brown nosing, I just really appreciate what you do. My daughter who is four loves watching u dive n dig. Beau, you inspire and help with these videos more than you would think. Sincerely, thank you.
Beau Ouimette , also. I think that Buffalo bottle is the coolest bottle I've watched someone find on here. have you done any research on it to see exactly what came in it? sounds like some kind of tonic water or something. maybe spring water. Idk. please reply and let me know if you know. thanks again.
Been watching you for years! Dood you're not right! That's why I continue watching!
I will never hunt for artifacts like you do, but I still enjoy your videos. They are always interesting and enjoyable. Thanks for good, clean, entertaining content!
definitely do another video, can never watch enough bottle digging!
I am a tree trimmer in so. Illinois, I mainly climb, I have a saw exactly like that one that I use on small branches that don't warrant starting a chainsaw 30 feet up. love it, cuts clean and fast.
Buffalo Lithia water bottles are awesome. They come in different colors and variations. Nice find.
I would like to see ur future bottle hunt when u go back......I love seeing anything from the past brought up and shared......thanks so much for making these videos Beau...I like how u explain the history to on alot of what u find or film
I started at age 13 digging in Bean Creek, bottle hunting. Love bottles !! Thanks for sharing.....Rhino
great final find. made the day worthwhile
Wow!! Very great finds! Please please please!!! Please with cherries on top, make another video at this spot! :)
Ooooo. A Buffalo Lithia Water bottle! Niiiiice. Now I'm inspired to get my buddy and go bottle hunting. I think I know of some good spots. Old house, up a bit of a bluff by the river. I live in rural Tennessee so there's tons of that kind of thing here. Thanks Beau!
i like your underwaters videos most, but I love rooting around in the old dump sites a lot too, thanks for sharing
i've just recently started watching your video's, and I have been no-living it haha.
I really like your vids!!!
I like how you say Ahh not too old only the turn of the century. When I find a bottle from the 20s im jumping up and down with joy lol.
Yes! Definitely go back. We like the bottles. Very nice.
I would like to see more of this place because I like old bottles I have a few myself nothing special but they're part of history and its cool to see where we were and where we are now
Thank you for the info....Love finding old bottles! Would love to see more, definitely do more Videos at this site, very exciting!
Great video, Beau; beautiful bottle. And, yes, I'd like to see more of your bottle digging adventures.
great finds and i hope you kept the bottles
The most popular treasure hunter with over 1 million subscribers. Knowledge is power.
This is a nice how to video! I've been digging for stuff over a half century (dumping & detecting) and still feel I need to learn more... especially techniques!
Definitely go back! I was never bottle hunting but always wanted to.
Great Video Beau! Your the best!! Way to go!! Very informative!
That last find was awesome! Can't wait to see your return trip!
Please go back to that spot!! Very interesting and different. Loved it.
Most favorite video Beau has ever posted! Another way to tell how old a bottle is how high the seem goes.
You should make some more digging videos :)
+kokonutfreaks This is actually mostly a legend created by those bottle reference books. I've got a book that says that the lower the seam stops, the older the bottle is, and this is complete BS. If the seam goes all the way up to the top, it was made by an automatic bottle machine, and dates sometime after the early 1900's. If the seam disappears under the lip it's an applied lip, which was generally phased out by the 1880's in the US but isn't a foolproof dating system and continued into the 30's in the UK. If the seam fades out on the neck it's a tooled lip, which means that if it's American it probably dates from before roughly WWI. That's really all the seam tells you. The only guaranteed way to date a bottle is if it's got a date code (for 20th century bottles) or by researching the company that made it.
+Nhotmyereahl Nheyme thanks, I learned some things, I usually use the date code if it has it.
Nice overview of the hobby, very enjoyable, thanks!
loved the last bottle...great find
I have just recently started watching your videos and they are great! Over the last few years I've found some old bottles and jars and am planning on making it a hobby now! If you ever find yourself in East Tennessee and want to do some bottle digging let me know!
Thankyou soon much for your upload and reply.. Ive watched all your videos and I check in every night to see if there's a new one :D
Have to say that was quite the find at the end there. Great embossing and lettering , and I bet if you got the brushes in there , it cleaned up really well .
If I had an item like that in my collection i'd be really pleased. So you must be already . .
Here's a PDF of info on your bottle.

+SpiritofWildWings Thanks found this very interesting........M
+SpiritofWildWings awesome info thank you for sharing it.
That Buffalo Lithia Water bottle is worth around $200. In around 1886 the company began hand bottling the water from the springs that was said to have medicinal value and transport it to the nearest railroad where it would be sent off in 12 bottle cases.
+Kyle's Tech Channel I just looked on eBay for them, under Sold Auctions, and they have sold in the last month from $10.00 to $150.00. I'm sure there are many different sizes, colors and ages that will determine the value. I hope Beau does some research after it's cleaned up and will let us know what it's worth.
Why do i care
Love the bottle digging , reminds me of when I was a kid . Used to dig in the dump on my grandfathers land. Found everything from baseball cards to ww1 rifle.
Awesome video! Thanks for the video I sure would like to see more of this area. Thanks! :)
that last bottle was awesome! huge!
PLEASE DO MOAR
Very cute how you say "bartles" for bottles! :) Great video, as usual!
+dale mclain He learned to speak near Bawston. Therefore, bawtles. and bawtom of the river.
At 18:45 when u switched screens or whatever, I jumped so much and almost had a heart attack from something that wasn't even scary! Lol
You know how everyone lost a Go Pro. Well I lost a few Bottles lol. Man that is awesome! I would die for a find like that. Try Denture tablets to clean them out.
Beau the video that I really liked was you on your bike out exploring. That was fun.
I would definitely love to see what else is there!
AWESOME!
would love to see more.....,thanks for sharing.😄 great video
very enjoyable and informative...Thanks Beau
Thanks for mentioning and posting a link to your friends tool site I will be ordering one!
Please go back and dig more , I love your bottle videos the most
Sweet bottle and nice stew bone!
I too have a Viking Digger. The best around for sure. Buddy was nice enough to drill a hole through the handle for me so I could put a strap on it as I tend to loose my tools. Recommend it - it will out live me !
You are really interesting person. Thank you for all video.
awesome video I'm always excited when I see an upload from you. thanks.
Beau: I got a buffalo!
Beau's wife: Really? What year?
Beau: Uh...trademark
Quin's Coins iuuuytfddee rh mmm kl
please post more bottle digging videos thanks! love your vids
Hello Beau, Nice Lithia water bottle. Never saw one of those. I fairly sure the Watkins bottle was for Liniment. Common around old farming/working home sites. Good video, Thanks for taking the time...ORR
Yes definitely film it, very interesting.
Loved this video, Beau! I would love to see you go bottle hunting there -- or anywhere! -- again. That's what I want to do sometime soon!
I love your videos and just how you are an genuine nice man
Electrolosis with a mason jar lid?? I guess i can only ask you to make a video about that one! I have a few coins and things id like to do that to and experiment with... This idea sounds interesting!!! Plus, i can probably get a bunch of those lids!! Thanks Beau!!! Thanks for showing and teaching the stuff that you do!
+Don Hoffner you need an electrode in the water, and if you use a stainless steel kitchen utensil you end up with some nasty carcinogenic stuff in the water. Zinc wouldn't have the same chemical reaction. I'm not sure if the functionality of the electrolysis would be improved or not, but it not killing you would certainly be a plus.
I asked Beau about this too...he said it's a different process that does not involve electricity, but does involve lye.
been wanting to dig one of those buffalo lithia waters forever!! Nice embossing! :-)
Great video!! I've watched a lot of your metal detecting videos also!
Cool video, I'd like to see you dig some more of this site :) thanks for posting
Good finds, thanks for sharing!
I think that bottle came from near where I live here in Virginia there's a place called Buffalo Springs where in the1800s they sold the bottled water and sold it claiming it had medicinal value, p.s ive dank some from that spring where it still stands today and its like mineral water
Nice Lithia water. One of my favorites. I have the same bottle.
Magnificent find at the very end, lucky duck!😉💯‼️
@14:06
Crossed Axe & Shovel marking the spot of the last Bottle find .. . wouldnt be telling us lil porky pies would we Beau . .??
great video, thanx for the tool tips. keep um comming!
I would love for you to run the camera there again for us! Beautiful bottle at the end!
Lots of info and of course FUN!
Wicked videos man! Recently found your channel a few days ago and must of watched like so many videos of yours, and I lost count! Cool facts and the stuff you find are always interesting. Definitely enjoying you taking us on your searches!
Id like to see one of those meteorites trips you said you do in Arizona find us a big one!
You look for anything in regards to the war of 1812 battles and around that time?
Reminds me of my road trip I did down in the states, I drove around Deathvalley in California and had fun hiking around and passing by old mines seeing some old crumbled shacks and tin cans, its like walking in the past.
Keep it up man!
Beau your luck is insane ... Just keep doing what you do
I look for old bottles along side the road, I've got a good collection goin too from it
Hello bow hello from Atlanta Georgia I really enjoyed your presentation thank you for sharing
Great video as always, thank you for sharing.

Nuther triumph Beau,thanks,i had a bottle dump 25yards from my backdoor..unfortunately its given all its treasures,keep up the great vids mate!!.ed,your last find is better than any ive found!!.
Nice profile pic!
Love the lithia bottle! Great 9th inning find! Speaking of mason jars full of gold coins, have you ever found a cache? Aside from your ridiculous river silver spot that is...! Like a jar or tin with coins at a cellar site?
at 2135 that bottle looks familiar....nice find ....remember..folks back then drank mineral water...buffalo lithia water...we have these in rural south Carolina....Charleston s.c. manhy sodas and blobs...kind of rare...
I demand more of this spot.. LoL love the vids beau
