This was one of the most interesting and varied of your digs that I've seen! Enjoyed it immensely.....and I love to hear you say "This pit's done!" at the end, lol!
Dude! It is so refreshing to find someone here who actually KNOWS what he's talking about! Just came across you & thought, interesting, INDEED! I watch those guys bumble thru old houses & they know so VERY little about what the find, Architecture, furnishings, Art, etc. Good for you to BE enlightened while enlightening us! Can only image what you've found, will follow you for sure! 👍
And here I thought that you might have been in a need of a break from TH-cam. Nope! Your passion presses on! I’m glad I missed your excavations and re-found you. Thanks a bunch Tom 🙏
You are truly "Iron Man"‼️ You don't quit, through exhaustion, & the most unpleasant conditions, you crack on‼️ Thank you once more for an amazing history saving & sharing experience‼️ I appreciate & love you❣
YAY!! I love the longer videos/digs. I really admire how you just keep going at it, even if you are feeling totally wiped out! 👍 Makes me almost tired just watching. 😉 Beautiful finds today. So happy that I "accidentally" found you again. ☺ Thank you for bringing us along🙏
Hey man this week was kinda crazy! So a few months ago I was digging and I found a thing I didn't know what is was at first it had cursive on it. Months go by and this week I decided to look up Civil War Relics. Turns out this week I found out where I was digging was a Civil War Campsite that was there. The thing I found was a Civil War ID Badge I cleaned up a little more and found out it also had the engraving of lady liberty! if you ever get the chance look up the story called Grove Lake MN the Lost Regiment. They must have came through to camp not far where I live. Any way huge fan as always. Much respect for You and the Camera Man. Preserve the History that matters most in our lives.
Tom, ask your cameramen to try & get us a closer look at the designs. I would have liked to see the flowers on that porcelain chocolate pot, or whatever it was.---30:26 Check out the 'face' on the right side of the wall of the pit! It's only half the face, but imagination lends to either human, or lion!---What became of that Wapheton bottle?---That's a new pronunciation for sputum! Should be "spew'-tum"!---I enjoyed the museum tour in Red Wing at the end of my Mississippi cruise last year.---I loved the capture of the fella who stopped to ask if you'd "found any gold yet?"!
A local antique mall in my town has a vendor booth with a ton of bottles like the ones you dig up. It was very interesting to see and touch the type of bottles you talk about. Now I can relate to your channel better. Thanks for posting your digs they are very interesting to watch.
Glad to see you're still making videos. I really enjoy watching them. Your knowledge of the artifacts you find makes it more interesting. Keep up the good work!!!
What an incredible dig. Big , small, unique, one of a kind pieces. What a smorgasbord of treasures. And the icing on the cake was the beautiful colors and materials. You definately hit the jackpot on this one. Congratulations Tom. What finds. Woot woot
Awesome dig, the sample size whisky bottle with the label still intact, those insulators and that one soda bottle, excellent finds. Urban archaeology at its best, even if it does get a bit smelly, thankyou for a great video.
Tom, another awesome video. Fantastic Relics. Some of the new bottles and Chicken feeder and waterer were so cool. The crocks you put back together, I love that. Insulators were so cool.😊
Well that sure was fun! It must be so exciting to wash everything off and see the history and beauty of your finds without dirt and mud! Cant wait for your next video!❤❤❤
Hello 👋 from New York, You guys found some amazing finds. My favorite find was the porcelain shaker. Thank you for bringing me along with you. I can't wait to see where you go and what you find next ☺️
Tom, absolutely awesome dig. I thought you pulled more bottles out than your wrap up. That first pit was loaded. Glad you found bottles you had not seen before and the rare embossed bottle. The green brass things were odd, loved the crocks that you saved. Such a nice dig compared to the last muddy one. That home was just gorgous and filled with history under the earth they never knew existed. You are truly amazing to watch.👏👍👍😀
It would be really cool to look up the history or the house and see if there are any pictures of the people who lived there during the span of the age of the bottles. Then you could see who possibly used them!
this was a great one, Tom. I saw several pieces I would like to have. Maybe one of these days I can buy some. Thanks for doing these videos. I love them.
Tom… are you trying to tell me that vinyl siding was not available in the 1880s????? Whaaaaaaaat? 😮 …. Said with love..💕 Thank you for sharing this story!! lol 😝
So glad you have your own channel Tom! Make sure the Below The Plains subscribers know though that you have your own channel because I know they will follow you as well or just you..lol....great stuff! I was also hoping you would haul that Abercrombie bottle out of the pit!
This got me thinking about the mountain of prescription bottles that would have been in MY trash, a hundred years ago. Then I realized: A hundred years ago with all my conditions, I would've died. Would you consider showing us a vid of what some of your best finds look like after they're cleaned up?
Man, awesome dig and some really spectacular finds, to say the least. I just can't believe how many medicine bottles you discovered. . Great video,stay safe. Cheers . 😊
Thank you, Tom for another fascinating video! I'm so glad to have rediscovered your channel, (TH-cam did its infamous unsubscribing again!), and now I'm resubscribed and good to go! Be well, and please stay safe. 🙏
Sorry tom i didn't realise you had your own channel i just subscribed to your channel now 😊i watch below the plains the other day till someone told me you had your own channel 😉 i thought you were having a rest 😅 i always enjoy listening and watching your videos 😊 i wish you all the best 👍 👌 and i will watch the other videos i miss because i find it intresting to watch 😊Andrew south wales uk 👌 👍 👏 😀 🇬🇧 I'm a big fan 😀
The old home owners must of had some illnesses they were having and maybe a drinking problem as well..lol Amazing dig,you really worked hard on this on 😊
For a minute there I thought you weren’t going to get your feet wet on this one …. Really interesting pit Tom, some great items. Looking forward to the next dip into American social history from here in Devon uk.
So many big metal items. It’s surprising they survived with that water . Like you said, so many bottles that were slick. Te second hole too ad itself. Interesting items.
6:24 - Thinking about the gal/guy who threw back a bottle of whiskey followed by a Malted Milk chaser! ;) I can't help but imagine the lives of those last to hold the bottles you find.
Super good digs,loved those crocks. Never stops amazing me how much the people experimented with cures, looking for relief from sickness,aches and pains and heartache,just like we do. Pass me that vanilla extract, will ya? Take care out there,Tom.😊
@@TomAskjem. those pottery beer bottles are fabulous you unearthed in the BTP video in the field that once had an Army fort. Finding old fort sites must be thrilling knowing what you might find?
This was one of the most interesting and varied of your digs that I've seen! Enjoyed it immensely.....and I love to hear you say "This pit's done!" at the end, lol!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Tom, so impressed with the fact that you try to save the pieces, to rebuild those previous artifacts..thank you.. xox
And here I thought that you might have been in a need of a break from TH-cam.
Nope! Your passion presses on!
I’m glad I missed your excavations and re-found you.
Thanks a bunch Tom 🙏
Welcome back!
Yes, I thought the same! So glad the video popped up! I subscribed again!
While looking for a pharmacist don't over look a doctor.
You are truly "Iron Man"‼️ You don't quit, through exhaustion, & the most unpleasant conditions, you crack on‼️ Thank you once more for an amazing history saving & sharing experience‼️ I appreciate & love you❣
I know right! You hear Tom say I may have to call this today, and then 2 hours later he is still digging and finding things! so great!
YAY!! I love the longer videos/digs. I really admire how you just keep going at it, even if you are feeling totally wiped out! 👍 Makes me almost tired just watching. 😉 Beautiful finds today. So happy that I "accidentally" found you again. ☺
Thank you for bringing us along🙏
Welcome back!
There is something so satisfying about hearing your trowel cut through the mud and hit bottles! Fantastic as always!
YES!
Another great program Tom. Really like the longer videos. Take care and stay safe. 👍
The Indiana Jones of the outhouse pits! 🤠
Brought back memories. When i was a kid we use to dig bottles in old homesteads. It was amazing what a clear picture you could get of their lives.
❤❤❤❤❤ Always enjoy hearing the excitement in your voice when you dig up a great bottle Tom. Its a good Saturday when there is a "Tom" video !!
I always enjoy watching your great videos Tom.
Another fantastic vid Tom!! Thanks for taking us on the dig with you!
Hello Tom. Love watching you find treasures!!
Tom - my favorite part is at the end when you show the pieces cleaned up. Thank you for such interesting peeks into the past.
So good to see more excavations! Tom you are amazing! So excited when I see new content. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for watching!
The extra editing is excellent. Well done with the pictures and commentary on the finds. Love it. Abercrombie is Scottish nobility.
Oh my gosh!!! So glad I found your new channel! Thank you for everything you do!
Welcome back!
I'm so glad I refound your channel. I enjoy the way you and your team put together the videos.
Love the household pits! The folks that lived here definitely had some disposable income. Thanks for another amazing dig, Tom!
I couldn't find you for awhile. Glad I found you again.
Love to see a new episode and it's over an hour long!!🎉🎉🎉😊

I’ll take note. The Wahpeton bottle ended up in my cameraman’s collection. I appreciate the info!
A local antique mall in my town has a vendor booth with a ton of bottles like the ones you dig up. It was very interesting to see and touch the type of bottles you talk about. Now I can relate to your channel better. Thanks for posting your digs they are very interesting to watch.
He's equally excited about his holy grail find as he is the 100th blank prescription bottle he finds. Love it !
This has been so interesting!!! 👍🤗
When you say 1903-1905, I remember my grannie was born in 1908. What history! Congratulations on a great haul today!!!
Glad to see you're still making videos. I really enjoy watching them. Your knowledge of the artifacts you find makes it more interesting. Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks!
And he does know what he's talking about. This guy is really fun to listen to.
Thanks!
I used to be out looking for old bottles and things too when I was younger , glad to see someone keep the tradition going!
I can watch this for hours I love old stuff
Tom, found you again so glad you’re very interesting and knowledgeable! I love all types of history!
What an incredible dig. Big , small, unique, one of a kind pieces. What a smorgasbord of treasures. And the icing on the cake was the beautiful colors and materials. You definately hit the jackpot on this one. Congratulations Tom. What finds. Woot woot
Amazing bottles today Tom. So many beautiful ones. Your hard work bring the past forward. Love your videos as always . ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

1:21:25 😅 your math is like mine
So interesting, I’m hooked!
Tom, another awesome video. Fantastic Relics. Some of the new bottles and Chicken feeder and waterer were so cool. The crocks you put back together, I love that. Insulators were so cool.😊
A lot of odd pieces. You seemed excited about a few. Mud and water. You are dedicated Tom. Thanks for letting us know about the articles. Stay safe.
This was an exciting one. Thanks for sticking it out in the mud.
Always fun watching your videos. So many cool finds!! 😊
May you find much more than you ever thought. Serious great fortunes I hope will come your way. Prosperous digging, indeed
Thanks!
Well that sure was fun! It must be so exciting to wash everything off and see the history and beauty of your finds without dirt and mud! Cant wait for your next video!❤❤❤
As always a fantastic dig. Thank you for sharing.

A joy to watch you dig. You find such cool stuff. I'd love to do it.
That was fun! And our feet stayed dry! Thanks for a great dig!!
The finds get better and better with each video. That weird Ketchup bottle was cool . Much love from Louisiana❤❤
My parents were still buying that Watkins stuff into the early '60s. They were Minnesota kids, grew up with Watkins products.
Assuming it's the same brand, my parents bought Watkins and I still buy Watkins stuff now. (I'm on the ND side of The Red, ha)
I am so glad I found your channel, so interesting. Thank you
Fantastic Tom. I love love this channel and you Tom. Many many thanks lots of love from Canada ❤

WOW huge dig guys & lots of fun!
Your work is awesome and fascinating.
Wow! Very productive!! 😊💙
It would be really cool to look up the history or the house and see if there are any pictures of the people who lived there during the span of the age of the bottles. Then you could see who possibly used them!
this was a great one, Tom. I saw several pieces I would like to have. Maybe one of these days I can buy some. Thanks for doing these videos. I love them.
I’m still hoping to start an online store at some point. Maybe I’ll get some free time this winter.
Always super to watch you dig
Thanks for watching!
CONGRATS!! great find on the embossed bottle!
Tom… are you trying to tell me that vinyl siding was not available in the 1880s????? Whaaaaaaaat? 😮

Great video, awesome finds, I love the chicken feeders!!!

You said it so well N.

For a minute there I thought you weren’t going to get your feet wet on this one …. Really interesting pit Tom, some great items. Looking forward to the next dip into American social history from here in Devon uk.
I'd love to see the reports if a lab analyzed the contents of some of those bottles.
So many big metal items. It’s surprising they survived with that water . Like you said, so many bottles that were slick. Te second hole too ad itself. Interesting items.

Hello from UK. Hope you are well! Nice finds so far 😊. Great beer and Whiskey bottles.
Super good digs,loved those crocks. Never stops amazing me how much the people experimented with cures, looking for relief from sickness,aches and pains and heartache,just like we do. Pass me that vanilla extract, will ya? Take care out there,Tom.😊
I have seen people use bits and pieces of broken plates, glasses, cups etc…to make bathroom backsplashes. It looks really beautiful and original.
I'm with you now. Just learned about your channel.
Welcome back!
@@TomAskjem. those pottery beer bottles are fabulous you unearthed in the BTP video in the field that once had an Army fort. Finding old fort sites must be thrilling knowing what you might find?
NORSKE! The cordial glasses pictured... we have one! 1908!
You are good man tom thanks for video
hi Tom, great dig. good bottles came out 1900s trash. they get more generic after 1912.
