Agree,would also like to get a sense of how the items are used, passed and perhaps monetised- not the amounts I Think that should be private to you, just an understanding of the headlines like $45000 found in 10minutes
You work harder at being organized than any digger out there‼ You're giving a brief history right on the spot because you're so knowledgeable & don't waste time rehashing❣ Great quality filming & editing add to yours being my favorite U.S. bottle digging channel on TH-cam❣ Thank you Tom & crew❣
I'm really diggin your videos. Would love to see explanation of tooled tops, ground tops, blob, 3 piece etc. machine made,..... how they were manufactured etc. Also a tour of your collections. Thank you for the efforts
Thanks so much Tom for your dedication to this channel. Very informative and interesting! Everyone please support this valuable youtube channel. Very addictive watching the artifacts being unearthed. Much appreciated man.
Your digs are the only ones I watch. I get so happy when I find one I haven't seen. This may seem strange but I really enjoy the sounds made during your digging, the scraping against the glass. The digging also is relaxing for me.
I really love how strategic and organized you are as you excavate! A lot of other digging channels just seem like they dig all over the place and it’s hard to follow. You’re the best bottle digging channel on TH-cam, hands down 👏🏻👏🏻
Agreed! Another channel leave the camera focused on dirt while the dude stands up and shows a bottle to a friend nearby. So annoying to watch I can't stand it
Yes! Meticulous, knowledgeable, with the attitude of an archeologist, archivist. You have respect for the history of the Dakotas, and the businesses that supported the struggling economies there. Your passion and fascination makes this channel a joy to watch every time.
The second ca. 1880 view of the city at :46 shows a remarkable rotating rail road trestle crossing the river to allow for the passage of steamboats and other river traffic.
TOM: I'M 83 AND SPEND MUCH OF MY FREE TIME WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL. I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW YOU SHARE YOUR FINDS AND ARE ANY FOR SALE? ALSO , LIKE MANY OTHERS ,I 'WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OF YOUR COLLECTION DISOLAYED. YOU ARE A MASTER OF YOUR CRAFT.
Tom a fantastic two privies dig. Cool you found a drugstore bottle from the town your grandfather lived. Liked all of the Mrs. Smith blueing bottles. Bummer the crocks were not whole. Great filming Jake. Happy New Year to you both. 👍👏😀😊
I found your channel awhile back, and have really enjoyed your awesome adventures! I've always enjoyed digging up treasures, as I know you do as well! keep up the great work! Love the channel!
Fascinating channel. Amazing how much treasure is buried in the ground. How do you go about cleaning and preserving your finds? Perhaps you could do a video showing us that process.
When I was a youngster I lived in many outback towns in Australia, loads of old bottles and lanterns, plates and others detritus. So 50,s/60,s. I get a kick out of watching you dig up similar. Where you got your knowledge I have no idea, keep 😅up the good work
So excited to be watching a new one - love this channel, hooked on it. Do you ever sell or send bottles overseas (Scotland). Keep digging and I’ll be there watching. Thanks for this guys x
I got hooked on this channel in the last couple of months, and was sad that they had few updates over the time I was home for Christmas break (as a teacher) .... nice that this appeared on my "snow day #2" :)
Hi both and a happy new year yes there's some unique bottles you got out of the pits it's always amazing 👏 what you can find and jake thanks for making fantastic videos and tom for always recognise the makers of the bottles you got good knowledge tom it's great to see you both back all the best Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 👏 😀 🇬🇧
I know I have asked before, but would it be possible to do some form of a tutorial for the various terms you use? I have tried looking up terms like turn mold, drop A triple loop, tool top and many others. What I find still doesn’t make things clear in respect to your digging. You do a fabulous job of including explanations for many of the pieces you find at the top of the screen. It is the mundane (to you) descriptions that are second nature to a seasoned “digger” that frustrate me because after all this time of watching you I still can not immediately understand your terms. Thanks for sharing what excites you with the rest of us!
Turn mold is a bottle without seam lines that was turned in the mold to give it a smooth appearance. Drop a triple loop is a term used by Ball canning jar collectors to describe the way the name Ball was written on the jar. The earliest script "Ball" had the A kind of short and the double L's were two loops with a third after that. The Ball brand jars before that had Ball in block letters. Tooled top bottles predate machine made bottles, the top lip of the bottle was formed after the bottle was removed from the mold using a special tool for the shape of the lip that was needed. Tooled top are easy to identify because the mold lines do not go all the way to the top of the bottle.
They told us about various terms and other questions but people kept asking the same questions every video and didn't bestir themselves to google anything, even with others explaining, too. I'm not surprised they gave up trying.
@@rivjoy Thank you!! Every time I googled it I couldn’t relate it to how you used the terms. Someone trained understands the lingo and uses it freely, those of us trying to learn can get confused so I greatly appreciate your time and consideration to help. Looking forward to the next “pit”!
Would love to see your collection. Do you restore any of the broken pieces you find? Would you show us how you do it, if you do? Really enjoy watching. I found you quite by accid ent and have been fascinated since 1st dig! Almost caught up! 😊
I really liked the turquoise dishes and the little pink ink bottle with the sharp edges I'm guessing it held red ink. Also the bottle with the dropper was pretty unusual. A couple of the food jars had a pretty shape. Oh yes and the two figurines and the measuring cup. What a cool snap shot of early times.
Happy New Year! It’s great to see another dig from you guys 😊. So many ink bottles! They must have been writing a lot of letters to loved ones. Thanks for sharing!
And not a single ketchup bottle, how disappointing! I love those the most!---How'd you get so lucky as to find a dig at home!---Jake, I thought sure that one flip of the trowel was gonna smash into the camera!
I was surprised that you broke the cap off of the salt or pepper shaker. Would it have been valuable with the lid. You do you just put everything back in the ground after digging it all up? I'm just curious because we don't see the whole video.
I've been binge watching your videos! I REALLY enjoy them. One question - what do you call that two prong shovel thingy you use to break through clay soil?
Tom those bottles are awesome. I like the green one. Its beautiful. Boy they had lots of pretty patterns on there dinner ware. Love your videos . your awesome. Happy new year🎉. ❤
Great great finds man , a lot of hard work there ! I appreciate your efforts,I would love to own one of any of these but unfortunately I do not use Facebook, I know , I know . Maybe a another way I could purchase . Thanks for sharing with us
While we were excavating for our house foundation we found some medicine bottles and pieces of China. The previous house dated back to 1910 it burnt down in 2007. Our town dates back to 1852 Marysville Ca. So many historical homes. Some of the members of the Donnor Party lived in Marysville. It was a stop over to bring supplies up River for the gold rush and mines in Nevada City Ca.
Do you sell your treasures? The broken pieces of plates, cups, bottles etc, would make great mosaic patterns on wall hangings, kitchen walls, inlay on tables, etc. just use your imagination! I love your videos!
This is a full version of another video. He also might have some backlog he saved up for this time of the year. Unless he runs down to the south, there is no way for him to dig in the winter.
What do you do with all your bottles? We have over 5000 bottles and all that we can't display goes into boxes we keep in the bottle shed. We sell some to collectors but there are so many more. Do you have a safer method of storage?
If you come across anthracite (coal) chunks in the digs, you should definitely save those. You never know if they might have some fossils in them, plus old coal pieces are good to have anyway.
@@speedfreak8200 Why not? Old coal is a great collectible, can be potentially valuable if they contain a fossil (or an OOPART) and a generally coal to have if you are a rock hound like myself.
"Well, butter my biscuit, if this ain't the most rambunctious treasure hunt I done ever laid eyes on! Tom, you're as brave as a bear facin' a bee hive, diggin' through them old privies. Just thinkin' 'bout all them years gone by, and here you are, uncoverin' secrets buried longer than a rattlesnake in a prairie dog hole. That map's older than my pa's whiskers, and you used it to find a fortune! Alfred and Hannah Allen sure had some tales to tell, I reckon. Keep on keepin' on, you modern-day prospector, you're writin' history with every shovel full o' dirt. Yeehaw and hats off to you, partner!"
you use the term "Flo Blue "incorrectly I believe.. The term doesn't describe the blue pattern o ink design but rather the way the bluei inkr "bleeds out from the print into the clay.
You need to start another channel where you display the cleaned items that you have dug up. Really enjoy watching your treasure hunts.
I just looked for that exact video.
Agree,would also like to get a sense of how the items are used, passed and perhaps monetised- not the amounts I Think that should be private to you, just an understanding of the headlines like $45000 found in 10minutes
That would be awesome!
Maybe like the more Historically important, financially significant and maybe your personal favorites
No reason he couldn’t post those here. They are relevant content.

I used Mrs. Stewart bluing when I did washing with a wringer washer in the 1960's

It would be nice to see some of these things cleaned up Plus some people may be interested in buying some of them
I wish companies still used the embossed bottles. I enjoy seeing everything you dig out of the past. But I swear I can smell the out house. Lol 😂
Awesome. Good to see you. ❤
I've been binge watching your videos! I REALLY enjoy them. One question - what do you call that two prong shovel thingy you use to break through clay soil?

Great great finds man , a lot of hard work there ! I appreciate your efforts,I would love to own one of any of these but unfortunately I do not use Facebook, I know , I know . Maybe a another way I could purchase . Thanks for sharing with us
Do you ever glue some of the more ornate pieces back together? Like that blue piece you found? It was definitely ornate and beautiful.
Great video keep it up! 🤠 from the U.S.A ! Also Based!
Hi BTP👋🏻! Music to my ears…”TPIL” (This pit is loaded!)…can you say it just once on one of your digs?
Hello Tom - I may know who your grandfather was as I lived in Harvey for 4 1/2 years starting in 1993. Small world. Phyllis.
While we were excavating for our house foundation we found some medicine bottles and pieces of China. The previous house dated back to 1910 it burnt down in 2007. Our town dates back to 1852 Marysville Ca. So many historical homes. Some of the members of the Donnor Party lived in Marysville.

Hi..great content. New here..how did you know where to grid and dig?
Always good to find those " undigested seeds" 😮
I would love to buy one of those zinc glazed ointment pots! Do you sell anything?
the tooled threaded top flask held liquor down here in the south. Once in a blue moon I find them embossed. nice dig.
I'd love to see you take the finds home and show your cleaning pr ocess.
How are you digging when the weather there is -7???
This is a full version of another video. He also might have some backlog he saved up for this time of the year. Unless he runs down to the south, there is no way for him to dig in the winter.
Have you ever dig in Minnesota?
I love your videos!! I have to ask, im sure you have been asking a million times, have you ever found any bones from maybe missing person?
i know this didnt happen recently! hope you guys have lots of interesting finds in 2024, and yall keep sharing it with us. after shit thaws.
Have you seen the UK guys with heavy magnets dragging rivers?
Amazing what people have dumped, bags of jewellery, guns etc..
Have you tried to germinate any seeds
Do you sell the bottles
Tom your there best
What do you do with all your bottles? We have over 5000 bottles and all that we can't display goes into boxes we keep in the bottle shed. We sell some to collectors but there are so many more. Do you have a safer method of storage?
Do you keep the items?
Do you sell all these bottles?
How do you find all these spots ? Is every bottle 20$ ?
Wheres the best place to find old maps of the area that i live in?
Was that a coin that fell out and then got buried again at 22:56 ??
The pickle containers are so small. Didn't they eat??
Can you explain why all these things are always in these pits? Where these pits just early dump sites?
Outhouse sites.
Have you ever attempted to sprout any of the seeds from old pits?
They don't sprout worth a shit 💯
Hahahaha!!!!
Odd how bottles were so small then. Had to be a kind of tincture which you take more often. Then they got huge, now smaller again and costs more.
Do you sell any of your finds?
Pop's here. Have you ever had someone sift the fines for small items ( buttons, coins. Jewelry) ?
Have you ever found a prohibition raid dump bud?
If you come across anthracite (coal) chunks in the digs, you should definitely save those. You never know if they might have some fossils in them, plus old coal pieces are good to have anyway.
Why?
@@speedfreak8200 Why not? Old coal is a great collectible, can be potentially valuable if they contain a fossil (or an OOPART) and a generally coal to have if you are a rock hound like myself.
They threw away coal?
@@653j521 When coal ash if used in the outhouse pits, sometimes unburnt chunks will be in it.
Those fire bricks are worth keeping &/or selling. They don't make em like they used to!

At about 23.20 it looks like a coin! Would think you'd be finding some in the privy holes! Do you?
