It would be interesting to see a segment talking about how you began doing this, showing your collection, describing your best, worst, favorite, and most surprising digs/finds. Props to Jake for the excellent videography and editing.
I just wanted to say that I enjoy watching your videos , you are very soft spoken and polite. I find that very refreshing. Thank you for sharing your day with us.
Ooh, I wonder who came up with that recipe for Magnetic ointment!!!---I looked up William T. Rawleigh...very impressive story!---How do you display your finds at home...a special room with lots of shelves, special lighting!
You guys do such a great job, thanks for the history lessons! This is way better than watching the news or crappy commercials, we actually learn something :)
I Love your shows. They are very informative and you provide great historical details. You’ve taught me so much. Now if only I could find the same kind of cool stuff, lol….
You guys are awesome! I love watching you find that good stuff. I don't always comment, but I always hit that like button! Your filming is amazing, no shaking at all...love watching you guys. Keep it up!
Great video, Q: What do you do with all the things, mostly bottles, that you find? Do you have a video of many of these cleaned up? Do you keep, donate, sell any? What about the broken stuff? Do you put it back in the hole before you refill it? Awesomne videos, but these questions keep haunting me as I watch these videos, thanx.
I am getting all fired up seeing the finds. Then I get fired up to see the shiny, sparkling display we never see. Please someday, show us your best finds all cleaned up and lovely. I would love to see that. P.S. I would also like to hear you give a history from your oldest to newest finds. I find it amazing at your encyclopedic knowledge as you go even when a tiny tip of the bottle shows. You are amazing! I would love to hear the progress in the glass-making of these old bottles.
You should do a live dig class. Have a weekend, a location and have attendees that pay a fee to learn. I’d be up for it. Cover start to finish..finding a location to finishing the site.
Reminds me as a 12 year old digging an old roadside dump in Duluth finding an old Spirit of St. Louise candy container. Thanks for sharing the finds and especially the research for each item.
yeah no problem! oh that sounds cool!! digging in dumps.. and duluth is older than north dakota so i bet theres some good stuff out threre!! welll thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. glad you enjoy the research, bc it sucks doing it!
Hello 👋 from New York you Guy's Found Some Amazing Finds my Favorite Definitely Was the Perfume Bottle and the REX Ginger Ale Bottle Thank you for Bringing me Along with you Guy's I can't wait to see What you Guy's find next 😊
Great dig with awesome finds too, love the quill pen you found. Thank you for the history of the bottles ect, great way to learn. Take care and thank you for sharing 👍👏😀
Rawleigh manufactured in Freeport, IL. I'm always surprised when I see them outside of IL. I collect Rawleigh and Furst McNess vintage bottles and containers. Rawleigh made a lot of different things not just medicines.
well, not sure if you know but we do put some of the cleaned up stuff at the very very end of the videos.. we usually dont take a lot so we usually only have like 2-8 bottles at the end. the best stuff typically. and yeah, we get requests all the time about showing how we clean them, probably gonna get around to making a video about that sometime this fall, when things slow down. thanks for watching
Dig through the flume of Sanden in BC in Canada. Ghost town built with a flume to carry a creek under the downtown. It was a mining book town throughout all of the late 1800s and abandoned by the mid fifties. There was no trash disposal or sewer-proper. Everything went in the flume. Eventually the flume got jammed with logs and the creek came up over the streets. The town was already mostly abandoned. It was the last straw. It was unliveable and there weren't young people enough to clear the blockage. That was it. I bet it's full of real treasures.
Maybe they don't advertise that they find valuable coins in the outhouse. They probably go through all the dirt that they dug out after they turn off the camera
I enjoyed your video nice bottles . ? Would you be willing to sell the small bottle from the Saint Louis Mo area that is where I was born it would mean allot to me♥️❤️👍🗝️
lol. im gonna do that right now.. give me 10 minutes! i was thinking about doing that for like the past 2 weeks but i didnt think anyone would wanna watch.. ill make a playlist with everything from latest to oldest and then ill make a few more of the individual towns. thanks for watching!
Thank you Tom, I really like what you do. I have always wanted to do the same, I'm yet to get that done. I do have a question though, if a paper label can live underground for 100+ years, can typhoid fever do the same (in feces)? I have not missed a vid. since I subbed!:)
Just curious.. is that how you pronounce Bakelite? Granted, I'm in Kentucky and we pronounce stuff differently than seemingly everyone.. but.. I'd never heard it said that way.. always heard bake- Light.. not back-a-light.. ?
I bet if you sifted some of the tailings, you'd find even more treasures! Late night musing: have you ever been approached by any medical professionals about the water in those bottles? I bet someone could use that to determine gut bacteria from that long ago!
Another awesome video Tom you do very good work I know it's hard work but we also need to see that guy running your camera once in awhile to make sure he wasn't on an episode of America's Most Wanted hahaha
How do you determine that the a certain bottle is hand tooled at the top. The house next door from me is from 1916 and the area houses have found bottles and other item in the yards. I have found several items when we had a drain field put in.
I am actually surprised that you find so few beer bottles when I consider that when my grandparents were young, when the family got together for Sunday dinner or a picnic, there all kinds of aunts and uncles and cousins. Usually the men would sit outside and have a beer and discuss what farmers talk all about. They might have one or two beers. That would be eight to sixteen bottles at one visit. I don’t know if they could turn them in or had a separate dump for them , or …. what.
Tooled top? what does that mean? I assume machine made there is a line in the glass where it’s pressed together? What features are modern and what are not?
I live in an old town in Massachusetts that’s from the 1600s and there are lots of maps of early train stations and hotels check out our town online Wilbraham mass lots of areas to investigate if interested
Hey Tom. Ok I have a dumb question. Does it ever stink when you dig those wholes? Like I think you say that those holes are from out houses. Just asking
haha well how about you add us on facebook, and you can message us there. we would love to expand outwards and get some more states under our belt. if you wanna DM us, its just "below the plains" on facebook
Ty for posting these videos Tom they are so interesting how the heck did u get started doing this are you an archeologist or just for fun. You seem well educated in the history of things I love history keep them coming I look forward to each.😊

Addicted to watching you dig!
The old pen was cool!
I am happy when I hear the intro song … it means a new video! Very awesome finds. Good job! 🎄
Another awesome dig. Thank you for saving our history and allowing me to come along. From the couch in Ohio.
Reall dig your videos. So informative. You are awesome at finding privies…I am bad at it.
You should do a live dig class. Have a weekend, a location and have attendees that pay a fee to learn.
I’d be up for it. Cover start to finish..finding a location to finishing the site.
Crick diggers on TH-cam shows it for free. Start to finish

I absolutely love old bottles, congratulations on your finds.
Nice digging, nice old bottles. Keep on digging guys. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love your content! Very informative & Super relaxing to watch when done with work! 🤭
Always lots of information! Super.

Hi BTP! Another great video! Calm, cool, and always collected! Love it when you hand the bottle to Jake did closeup shot!

i would love to see your cleaned bottles and how you clean them. i enjoy your videos

Tom is a STUD !
Awesome dig fellas ! Really enjoyed watching y’all pulling out those bottles as always . Thanks for sharing
Always ggreat to see your videos.

a mining boom town
Good job, man... nice bottles👍👍
Glad to see this continued!
Love that crush bottle.. 👍🏼
Started binging this channel a few days ago. On day one I watched like 30% of the videos. Great work:)
Love your finds and the opportunity to watch you dig. Thanks from Oklahoma, Barb
Awesome 👍 as always. 💪😎
you really need to use a metal detector, how many ppl drop coins by accident in the outhouse?
Yeah that’s what I’ve been sayin
I completely agree with both of you and I’ve been saying that since I started watching this fascinating channel I’m a metal detectorist myself
Even a hand held Garrett pinpointer would be great in such tight quarters!
Maybe they don't advertise that they find valuable coins in the outhouse. They probably go through all the dirt that they dug out after they turn off the camera
They found thier niche, id rather watch 100+ year old bottles get unearthed any day over hearing that beeping
Tom, you pulled a lot of nice bottles from there. Another great video. 👍😀👏
That’s a nice looking carrington bottle.
I enjoyed your video nice bottles . ? Would you be willing to sell the small bottle from the Saint Louis Mo area that is where I was born it would mean allot to me♥️❤️👍🗝️
Please, make a playlist. For watching a lot of videos.
lol. im gonna do that right now.. give me 10 minutes! i was thinking about doing that for like the past 2 weeks but i didnt think anyone would wanna watch.. ill make a playlist with everything from latest to oldest and then ill make a few more of the individual towns. thanks for watching!
@@BelowthePlains will you make video dedicated exclusively to exhibits? demonstration of the entire collection
Your videos are awesome and very educational. I appreciate the time you guys take to make this channel!
Nice weather for December in ND.
Another great video!

How do you determine that the a certain bottle is hand tooled at the top. The house next door from me is from 1916 and the area houses have found bottles and other item in the yards. I have found several items when we had a drain field put in.
I saw a video with you, I think, restoring/repairing old carriages, a wood stove, &.... If yes, do you do videos of that work?
I really like that medicine bottle the most out of all your finds.
A good Saturday night to see dirt fly
Fun dig.
I am actually surprised that you find so few beer bottles when I consider that when my grandparents were young, when the family got together for Sunday dinner or a picnic, there all kinds of aunts and uncles and cousins.

I don’t know if they could turn them in or had a separate dump for them , or …. what.
What kind of stick is that you use for digging?
Nice!
I have caught several very nice coins and medallions tossing the dirt out or seeing a coin in a sidewall
What is your theory on why some privies seem to be loaded with broken dishes? The first privy 9:12 in this video had a massive pile of broken dishes.
Do you ever do lectures? Just wondering
I notice you use different excavating tools. Either your hand trowel or a stick. Is there a reason?
Tooled top? what does that mean? I assume machine made there is a line in the glass where it’s pressed together? What features are modern and what are not?
thank you for video! thumbs up and subscribe
What is magnetic ointment for??
I live in an old town in Massachusetts that’s from the 1600s and there are lots of maps of early train stations and hotels check out our town online Wilbraham mass lots of areas to investigate if interested
Hey Tom. Ok I have a dumb question. Does it ever stink when you dig those wholes? Like I think you say that those holes are from out houses. Just asking
It would be composted by now and wouldn’t smell like poop 💩
Beer did save the world! Lol
Mercy. You must have a strong back. I am in the Ozarks, and it would take a pick and pry bar...
Do you ever sell your finds? Would love to buy..... $$
Nothing like this is our outhouse pit. 😅
Nice vids but you should pick up a metal detector to help with your finds.
You ever come to cincinnati ohio you can dig my yard anytime.
haha well how about you add us on facebook, and you can message us there. we would love to expand outwards and get some more states under our belt. if you wanna DM us, its just "below the plains" on facebook
The first house was most probably Greeks, with all the broken plates.
I wonder why some privies have so many broken dishes, like at 9:12. You would think people would be more careful with their dishes.
Ty for posting these videos Tom they are so interesting how the heck did u get started doing this are you an archeologist or just for fun. You seem well educated in the history of things I love history keep them coming I look forward to each.😊
Nice!
