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! 👍
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!
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.
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.
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?"!
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.
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!!!
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, 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.😊
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!
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!❤❤❤
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?
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 😝
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.
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.
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 😊
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!
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.😊
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 . 😊
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.
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.
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. 🙏
TOM, ever thought about coming South to dig? I'm from North Carolina. There are lots of historical homes, battlefields , creeks, and the Atlantic Ocean beaches. I'm sure you would be able to find artifacts dating back to the 1700s. I like to walk the beach in search of sea glass; the best sea glass piece I ever found was an intact, no chips Pepsi bottle that actually had a date on its bottom (1971). Usually Pepsi bottles don't have towns or dates on its bottom, like Coke. Give it a thought, but not in the summer, it's too hot and too many snakes and gators!
@@TomAskjem. That is great! I would love to meet you. My primary home is in Eastern NC, and I also have a home on Lake Wylie the address is Charlotte. Start doing your research and come on down! Dacia
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 😀
@@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?
Nice I just got home from a day of digging only to find a new Tom video. I was stuck in a Chero Cola pit most of the day though. Not a lot of variety today....,
@@TomAskjem. Those are nice too. I'm in Georgia so even small towns had their Coca cola plant very early in company history. It's actually quite easy to find straight sided cokes here as the local company dumped their old bottles, but they would have someone break the lips so they couldnt be found and returned for deposit. So I have HUNDREDS of almost complete straight sided cokes lol...

Glad you enjoyed it!
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.
Tom, so impressed with the fact that you try to save the pieces, to rebuild those previous artifacts..thank you.. xox
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!
There is something so satisfying about hearing your trowel cut through the mud and hit bottles! Fantastic as always!
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.
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!
So good to see more excavations! Tom you are amazing! So excited when I see new content. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for watching!
Another great program Tom. Really like the longer videos. Take care and stay safe. 👍

amazing discovery. Thanks for sharing!
Another fantastic vid Tom!! Thanks for taking us on the dig with you!
❤❤❤❤❤ 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'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!
Oh my gosh!!! So glad I found your new channel! Thank you for everything you do!
Welcome back!
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.
When you say 1903-1905, I remember my grannie was born in 1908. What history! Congratulations on a great haul today!!!

I’ll take note. The Wahpeton bottle ended up in my cameraman’s collection. I appreciate the info!
I couldn't find you for awhile. Glad I found you again.
I was sooo excited to see a new dig...and even more excited to see it was almost 1hour 20min long!!! 🤩
1:21:25 😅 your math is like mine
Love to see a new episode and it's over an hour long!!🎉🎉🎉😊
I used to be out looking for old bottles and things too when I was younger , glad to see someone keep the tradition going!
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.
And he does know what he's talking about. This guy is really fun to listen to.
Thanks!
I can watch this for hours I love old stuff
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!
Tom, found you again so glad you’re very interesting and knowledgeable! I love all types of history!
This has been so interesting!!! 👍🤗
May you find much more than you ever thought. Serious great fortunes I hope will come your way. Prosperous digging, indeed
Thanks!
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.
Amazing bottles today Tom. So many beautiful ones. Your hard work bring the past forward. Love your videos as always . ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was an exciting one. Thanks for sticking it out in the mud.
Fantastic pit, fantastic finds, thanx for sharing this Tom
So enjoyable watching you unearth those treasures! That first pit was insane! ♥
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)

Well. That was a long one. Enjoyed every minute of it. A few nice finds there. Hope you're doing well. Take care. See you next weekend.😊
That was fun! And our feet stayed dry! Thanks for a great dig!!

I’m enjoying every minute of this dig, so many interesting finds.
Thanks for watching!
A joy to watch you dig. You find such cool stuff. I'd love to do it.
The finds get better and better with each video. That weird Ketchup bottle was cool . Much love from Louisiana❤❤
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?
I’ve sold a lot of pieces over the years but I may do some kind of documentary about some of my best digs.
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 😝
Always fun watching your videos. So many cool finds!! 😊
So interesting, I’m hooked!
Thank goodness you are not knee deep in water this time! Opps, spoke to soon.. Love your channel. So many interesting finds.
I always "dig" a video from Tom. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
As always a fantastic dig. Thank you for sharing.
Always like watching your videos very interesting and informative❤
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.
That was an early dig Tom! Thanks for the video.
Fantastic Tom. I love love this channel and you Tom. Many many thanks lots of love from Canada ❤
I am so glad I found your channel, so interesting. Thank you

Always super to watch you dig
Thanks for watching!
I like watching you find old 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'd love to see the reports if a lab analyzed the contents of some of those bottles.
I have seen people use bits and pieces of broken plates, glasses, cups etc…to make bathroom backsplashes. It looks really beautiful and original.
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 . 😊
Great video, awesome finds, I love the chicken feeders!!!
You always find the most interesting things. Thanks for your videos
Congrats on the Huppeler find! Makes digging in the mud almost worth it! 😉
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.

Hello from UK. Hope you are well! Nice finds so far 😊. Great beer and Whiskey bottles.
❤❤❤❤❤ Amazing as always.
hi Tom, great dig. good bottles came out 1900s trash. they get more generic after 1912.
So glad your back and i found you greetings from holland ❤
NORSKE! The cordial glasses pictured... we have one! 1908!
Thanks for another fascinating dig
