The Jewel Tea company was a company that traveled door to door selling food, spices and just about anything you can think of. I used to look forward the visits of the Jewel Tea man.
Wow what a overwhelming day of bottles you guys found! Hope ya had a great thanksgiving, I for one am thankful for finding your channel and Exploring Alabama’s too! Totally worth every minute of watching!! Thanks and have a bless full day!!!
I love seeing your daughter with you in this endeavor! I spent my early years going out into the Blue Mountains with the family fishing. Being included with my brother did a lot to make me independent and ready to do “boy things” as they were called then, getting dirty, getting wet, getting wet and dirty, trying my strength, etc.
I guess you answered your question about your fans wanting see more colabs. Getting everyone envoled ,to me, makes it more interesting. Stay safe brother.👍☮️
I love the inkwells! However I really really love keys I grew up in a house that was built in the 1920s and until I was in high school we had a skeleton key and that’s how you got in the house! Y’all did an excellent job!
Wow! Lots of awesome finds! You'll have to go back to see what else is there that you didn't find the first time! Your daughter was having fun climbing around and getting dirty! Even girls like to play in the dirt once in while! 😊
Berghoff from Ft Wayne!! My hometown. Pretty common around here but still love to find them. Started brewing in 1888. My uncle worked for them through their transition into Falstaff in 1954.
Been watching your channel for a long while now, first time commenting. That carbona bottle was actually was a first of it’s kind non-flammable stain remover for clothes. Then they got into stove polishers and the shoe polish. Very cool find, thought you would enjoy the history of that bottle!!
Love the videos... A lot of awesome finds.. Love the cobalt ink, been looking for one forever just don't find them up here... Good luck, keep posting and be safe..
What a great video. I always imagine just how much is still buried there after you leave. Can drive you a bit crazy lol. Anyways thanks for sharing such a fun time
Awesome video!!!! As a new and learning " bottle guy " How do you divide the bottles when there's more then one digger? Take turns picking a bottle each at the end? Take turns in the hole? 5 minutes each keep what you dug?? Just curious. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan
It all comes down to who has found what in the past and who has the most money invested in the excavator rental haha. But honestly none of us are there out of greed. For instance in this video all I kept was the milk bottle and broken stuff. I was just excited to be a part of saving history!
@@adventurearchaeology Ok, I was just wondering. As I've said I'm new to bottle collecting and just joined our local club.... "Kalamazoo antique bottle club" I've heard some of the guys say they sometimes lay all the bottles on the ground when there all done and the one that found and got permission to dig picks first and then they just take turns. Just curious how other people do it. Now back to going through your older videos. I've learned a lot watching your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make and post them. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan
Great haul Brandon! Some really great bottles and the jug was sweet! Hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving! God bless and can't wait to see even more! (And shes not really That dirty....🤣)
Let her get dirty that is what being a kid is all about. My grandmother always said "It will come out in the wash", and she was/is spot on to this day!
What a haul of bottles!!! That jug is a beauty. Some really nice embossed bottles on the day. Happy hunting be well and remember to keep your soul clean and your boots dirty
Man that Ohio whisky is one that I’d kill for! I’m uploading my first live bottle hunt video today, (which was a wash Bc the spot sucked). But next week I’m going to a turn of the century dump where 8 large whole jugs have been found! But that’s besides the point. Your videos are what keep me and my friend Caleb going so thanks and great stuff! (Btw I did not mention but I am BB#3FAN, I changed my name for something more fitting lol 🙂)
Believe it or not, the Palmer's brought back some memories to me. When we dug around Suisun Bay down in the Bay Area, we used to find a lot of those. They were actually one of my favorite bottles because of the color and the different varieties of the bottle shapes. Great video lot of memories hope you guys had a good turkey day. Take care.
Dang, y’all killed it on this one! Incredible haul. Hope to see some of it cleaned up, especially the salt glazed jug. Congrats to all. Enjoyed the video.
Great video it all was so interesting and The Jewel Tea bottle was an very common item that was sold door to door and it was sold in the south as the north. They sold about anything you used around the house.
Oh, forgot...the Carbona bottle was most likely a carbon tetrachloride dry cleaning fluid...they started in NYC, moved to Newark, back to NY...on and on. But the bottle looks like cleaning fluid, although they made other products with the emphasis on "fireproof" products for household safety.
Can attest, live in NYC and find those Carbona bottles all over the place, found 3 different sizes of them all cork top, all in bottle dumps ranging in age from 1910-1925.
I have NEVER been able to find documentation of bottle dumps in uk.. In. 70s collectors had word of mouth from. Old. Locals and. Found lots but I couldn't get any info anywhere. I. Live in. Lincolnshire.
Hey I'm from Indiana too I dig in converse I found the old town dump and it's absolutely filled with bottles and the good thing is I'm the only one who knows about it
Oh hey, a Fort Wayne bottle! Not as surprising as you might think though since Fort Wayne, once upon a time, was a huge hub for trade, commerce, and shipping due to location for rail and water travel over the St. Mary, St. Joseph, and Maumee rivers.
My great grandparents on my mother's side were druggists in Fort Wayne IN. I was able to score a small embossed medicine bottle from their J&J Brink and Son's store on an Ebay auction. The building where their store was still stands. It's a pizza parlor now.
I'm old enough to remember the Jewel-T man coming by the house to take orders and deliver them to my mom. This would have been back in the 1960's. They delivered a lot of things, including food coloring and other bottled food products.
There was a Jewel Tea company building in the town of Barrington Illinois which is about an hour from chicago. Today its nothing but a park in the village of barrington. If you look around theres some evidence of previous structures sprinkled throughout the park ( You have to go off the trails.)
We live on a old Marsh that was reclaimed in the georgian times (1770s and before, some back to 1500s) the whole entire towns and surroundings were once Marsh, when they reclaimed it they used trash in mammoth amounts but I know nothing of how far down ud have to go, where and etc's.. Anyone any idea?
Hey I’m from Anniston an I don’t recall the drugstore on that bottle probably before my time how ever the oldest drugstore I remember on noble street would be JE wikle drugstore it closed its doors about 15/20 years ago but the building an sign are still there man I remember going in there with my grandma an mr wikle would give me a candy stick horehound was my favorite. They was also the last old time drugstore to have a delivery man if you was to sick or had no way to get you medication an things. Thanks this brung back such a get memory for me.I called my uncle an ask him he said that was the name of the drugstore on that bottle you found before it was wikle drugstore.
I know a guy use to be friends, guys an alcoholic but he has a mine claim and has pulled thousands of very old bottles and other things from a dump 100-200+ yrs old. His whole house was over flowed with old bottles and his back yard had piles and piles of old bottles. I seen him trying to sell them once in a yard sale but no real takers and his prices was nuts.
In uk there seems to be lots bottle dumps all over.. I live on a old park edge and in back garden close to the fire ashes pit when burying my dogs a number of old victorian bottles came out.. No inks tho. All pretty generic, nothing was rare.
When i bought my farm in 1976 it had a large trash pile on it . When I started cleaning it up I found 2 Bud wine bottles whole alone with about 25 other old soda bottles.
Jewel T was a curbside shopping truck that use to come to my house when I was a kid in the 70's my mom use to shop the truck which looked between and ice cream truck and a milk truck
My brother-in-law got meningitis from digging in a hole like that, and almost died they had to do open heart surgery and put the medication drip directly on his heart.
My wife would have clean that hole out in a heartbeat after seeing that rat ! Just trying to get out of there ! 😆 🤣 😂 she totally afraid of mice and rats !
your blessed since your wife likes to go with you to do stuff like this Brandon because my wife wouldn’t of went and treasure hunting of any kind puts her to sleep haha . awesome site and y’all saved some awesome stuff . that crock was spectacular 💥👍🤠🏴☠️
BRANDON YOU HAD A BOTTLE FROM THE JEWELL T COMPANY of Chicago well here in Ohio when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s they had a mobile dime store truck would come here in residential areas here where I live in Ohio and they have a guy with a basket and clip board go door to door trying to sell their things toys , snacks , food , clothes , vitamins it was basically a general store on wheels they drive around in a box van like snap on tools or ups drive they park on a corner and got a block then go to another corner they were around mostly in the spring to fall but occasionally you see them in the winter depending on how the roads but that's neat you found one of their bottles
I collect local I live in Portland I seen a Bob's cola that was made locally in Portland Indiana I would be interested in the fort Wayne since that is also local to me how would I go about buying that from you
My dad was a jewel tea man!!! Let me know if you want to sell it!!! They were based in IL. And Osco drug is still around which was part of them later on.
EA is good people. So is his whole family. They are the first channel I started watching, because I'm from Mobile Alabama. We have a Bradfield's here in Savannah, but they are a locksmith business that has been in operation for over 90 years. But I will try to find out about that medicine from Savannah.
The Jewel Tea company was a company that traveled door to door selling food, spices and just about anything you can think of. I used to look forward the visits of the Jewel Tea man.
I believe it was merged into Jewel-Osco grocery when the anti door-to-door ordinances became popular
Very cool!
Sort of like the Watkin's man of my generation.
Jewell Tea also made dishes. Very collectible.
I purchased a coat from Jewel Tea. I liked them.
Thanks for sharing another great adventure 👍
A good way to spend the day 😊
Great dig. Love to see some of those cleaned up.
That's an amazing find. I'll bet you don't always get so lucky. Great find!
Awesome J. W. Kelly.
Yah it was definitely a highlight!
Very nice finds and an amazing video
Thanks 👍
Very cool video Brandon!
Thanks Spike!
Wow what a overwhelming day of bottles you guys found! Hope ya had a great thanksgiving, I for one am thankful for finding your channel and Exploring Alabama’s too! Totally worth every minute of watching!! Thanks and have a bless full day!!!
I’m very happy you found us as well!
Excavators are too easy..,. No Pain(sweat) ,no gain:)
Your little one is so cute, I was that young once, I think?
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Haha I prefer the no pain part 🤣
Oh my gosh that JUG!!! WOW👀❤
Always fun when we find a jug!
What awesome 👌 finds 👌
I love seeing your daughter with you in this endeavor! I spent my early years going out into the Blue Mountains with the family fishing. Being included with my brother did a lot to make me independent and ready to do “boy things” as they were called then, getting dirty, getting wet, getting wet and dirty, trying my strength, etc.
WOW! Sums it right up.
Jewel Tea made a whole line of dishes during the '30s and '40s very collectable.
I guess you answered your question about your fans wanting see more colabs. Getting everyone envoled ,to me, makes it more interesting. Stay safe brother.👍☮️
I hope so!
Fun hunt!!

Great video hello from Rome
Berghoff from Ft Wayne!! My hometown. Pretty common around here but still love to find them. Started brewing in 1888. My uncle worked for them through their transition into Falstaff in 1954.
Very cool!
I've found a Centlivre, but no Berghoff yet. One of these days.

Hello from Tennessee. I need one of those shovels. Great finds. I hope you had a great thanksgiving. Keep doing the videos and I’ll keep watching.
Very cool treasures! Any chance you could provide some info about the gloves the one guy was wearing with the yellow knuckle protectors built in?
Awesome video!!!!
As a new and learning " bottle guy "
How do you divide the bottles when there's more then one digger?
Take turns picking a bottle each at the end?
Take turns in the hole? 5 minutes each keep what you dug??
Just curious.
Have a Jesus filled day everyone

It all comes down to who has found what in the past and who has the most money invested in the excavator rental haha. But honestly none of us are there out of greed. For instance in this video all I kept was the milk bottle and broken stuff. I was just excited to be a part of saving history!

Ok, I was just wondering.
As I've said I'm new to bottle collecting and just joined our local club....
"Kalamazoo antique bottle club"
I've heard some of the guys say they sometimes lay all the bottles on the ground when there all done and the one that found and got permission to dig picks first and then they just take turns.
Just curious how other people do it.
Now back to going through your older videos.
I've learned a lot watching your videos.
Thanks for taking the time to make and post them.

Hi all, are you going to run a metal detector over the site as well?..
Too much rust. Impossible for any detector to work sadly.
Yes , was just thinking about setting detection up high for gold?....
But yes your right... cheers..
This guy with his sunglasses reminded me of fps Russia at first glance.... I used to watch every video that guy put out.... haha
Amazing stuff, bucket list thing to do for me is do a bottle dump. You guys killed it...
It is a complete blast!
Lovely salt glazed flagon half the battle having a Barra to help you dig
I've got a octagon med bottle about like that one you showed
What a haul of bottles!!! That jug is a beauty. Some really nice embossed bottles on the day. Happy hunting be well and remember to keep your soul clean and your boots dirty
Thanks EZ

As kids we had a great spot in Pinole,believe it was an old city dump.we would collect bottles and sell them.loys of digging great fun for teens.
Dang, y’all killed it on this one! Incredible haul. Hope to see some of it cleaned up, especially the salt glazed jug. Congrats to all. Enjoyed the video.
I did a short version. Exploring Alabama has much more shown in multiple videos on his! Be sure to check those out!
@@adventurearchaeology Yeah, definitely will
Oh, wow, what an amazing dump Brandon! I think your daughter had more fun than anybody! I love that jug!!!💖
Thanks Cynthia!
Great video, love the whiskey jug! That little rat was running for his life there 😁
Thanks and yes he was haha!

It’s a fun spot for sure!
Great video it all was so interesting and The Jewel Tea bottle was an very common item that was sold door to door and it was sold in the south as the north. They sold about anything you used around the house.
Very weird that I have never found one haha!
Great dig with family and friends! 😎😎

Ya that was an odd find for down here lol
I'm from Fort Wayne, cool to see you guys pull a bottle from here. I really want to start hunt bottles, just got to make the time.
Hey I'm from Indiana too I dig in converse I found the old town dump and it's absolutely filled with bottles and the good thing is I'm the only one who knows about it
You wouldn't happen to be related to a Paul, would you? I went to school with his kids. Small world if so.
What got you into hunting antique bottles?
Wow! Fantabulous dig site! I've never thought about checking under old foundations,,, hmmm 🤔
Incredible location, amazing bottles, great video, oh man to get my hands on an excavator, lol.
I so cannot get enough of these digs, its the simple things in life right?...lol great video Brandon as always 😀👍💪
You got that right!
12 minutes...heck...I could watch for hours...but great family fun...

Jewel Tea Co. was (is?) a major grocery chain in the Chicago area. Don't know much about its history but I used to shop there.
When i bought my farm in 1976 it had a large trash pile on it . When I started cleaning it up I found 2 Bud wine bottles whole alone with about 25 other old soda bottles.
Be safe guys. Don’t risk too much. You can call this place Bottleland!!!🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
2:30 carbona is I believe a lubricating oil but don't quote me on that
Glad I found you guys! Discovered you on a Reddit thread about Alabama TH-camrs. Slick work and a fun channel!
Really? Had no clue we were on reddit haha! Im glad you found us as well!
The only thing I hate is that you didn’t find a hutch but there’s always tomorrow.
I will predict that in this video you will dig a hole with an excavator and find some bottles.
Nailed it like a boss!
Hahaha Man I need your guidance in the stock market!
Adventure Archaeology buy low , sell high 👍🍻
why did they throw those great old jugs away?
Jewel T was a curbside shopping truck that use to come to my house when I was a kid in the 70's my mom use to shop the truck which looked between and ice cream truck and a milk truck
Oh boy! Love the bottle digs. What a cool bunch of meds etc. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ~ Texas
THAT IS DANGEROUS..........GET YOUR WIFE OUT OF THERE............NO BOTTLE IS WORTH A LIFE...........
My brother-in-law got meningitis from digging in a hole like that, and almost died they had to do open heart surgery and put the medication drip directly on his heart.
My wife would have clean that hole out in a heartbeat after seeing that rat ! Just trying to get out of there ! 😆 🤣 😂 she totally afraid of mice and rats !
I live about 45 minutes from fort Wayne Indiana there should be some beer bottles from there and Coke too
Great video! I wish I could get a machine in to where I dig it would be a big help! My back would like it too lol
Paul here. I really don't like you digging in the slope with under digging it and risking a collapse.
your blessed since your wife likes to go with you to do stuff like this Brandon because my wife wouldn’t of went and treasure hunting of any kind puts her to sleep haha . awesome site and y’all saved some awesome stuff . that crock was spectacular 💥👍🤠🏴☠️
Carbons-- dry cleaning fluid bottle. Nan from Florida
I sure would like to see your collection of bottles, Perhaps one day you will make a tour video of your bottle room.
My digging would end with the sight of that rat. Not afraid of them unless they surprise me.
BRANDON YOU HAD A BOTTLE FROM THE JEWELL T COMPANY of Chicago well here in Ohio when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s they had a mobile dime store truck would come here in residential areas here where I live in Ohio and they have a guy with a basket and clip board go door to door trying to sell their things toys , snacks , food , clothes , vitamins it was basically a general store on wheels they drive around in a box van like snap on tools or ups drive they park on a corner and got a block then go to another corner they were around mostly in the spring to fall but occasionally you see them in the winter depending on how the roads but that's neat you found one of their bottles
That is awesome!
Enjoy the video’s y’all do
Thanks James!
Wow, great finds. I would love to be right in there digging with you all. Thanks for sharing.
I collect local I live in Portland I seen a Bob's cola that was made locally in Portland Indiana I would be interested in the fort Wayne since that is also local to me how would I go about buying that from you
Exploring Alabama actually has it. You should message him on one of his videos!
When I saw EA's Video I was wondering where you were . Gotta wait for those releases .
Nice finds! It's great to see kids outside playing in the dirt instead of staring at a phone or other device.
Great finds man, this would be a blast.
Once you have most bottles it really takes a real good bottle to get excited over I know that's how I am
My dad was a jewel tea man!!! Let me know if you want to sell it!!! They were based in IL. And Osco drug is still around which was part of them later on.
Very Cool! EA kept that bottle so you may want to message him on his channel about it!
Nothing more heart breaking than finding something rare as but broken..
EA is good people. So is his whole family. They are the first channel I started watching, because I'm from Mobile Alabama. We have a Bradfield's here in Savannah, but they are a locksmith business that has been in operation for over 90 years. But I will try to find out about that medicine from Savannah.
He is a great guy!
