    Great video as always! Have you thought of doing episodes showing how you clean your finds and talk about what you found more in depth? I can't be the only one that would enjoy seeing that.

      Oh man, that would be fantastic. example questions How long does the outhouse last. Are they hiding the booze bottles? Is it the only way to throw things out? dDo you display your good ones. what is your oldest bottle? If you need more questions just ask. Great Idea.

    Hey, love the vids man!! Just an idea for ya…you should put a sifter over the hole when your done digging and sift the dirt when you fill in hole for old coins, buttons, marbles, pipes, etc… I think you’d find a ton of smalls that way!!

    You could possibly be digging up an old outhouse spot. It was common for people to also throw trash in with the "other " deposits they were making.. when the hole eventually filled up, they would just dig a new one a few feet away and move the outhouse over the new hole.

    My parents were friends with descendant of Alonzo Bliss. The product was bliss’ rubbing linament. At one time we had a case of that product. We were also given several Alonzo Bliss, Bliss Rubbing Linament wall thermometers. The linament must have mostly been ethanol and most of it had evaporated. The bottles were more modern with an unusual Bakelite cap that had a smaller cap centered on top for limiting the amount of linament that was dispensed.

I found 10 beautiful arrowhead one day in turkey creek/ glenmore Louisiana years back( we sprayed timber land ). It rained bad the night before and they just bladed the woods road. I went out early to check road conditions and they were everywhere. Few years later my soon took them to school and handed them out to his friends.
