Soon as I see Tom as done another vid I have to make sure I can watch with no one interrupting me so here I go. Time to see (with my cuppa next to me) what Tom will dig up today. Love this channel so informative. A big hello from UK. I just can't get enough of this channel ❤
Hell of a pit Tom!! Congrats on all the goodies and another super vid!!!! Someday you will have to do a vid on your collection as we all would love to see it!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I stumbled across a short video of Tom calmly, humbly showing some guy his mint collection of rare carriages & other cool ish in his pole barn from a few years ago. Shoot, I think he deserves his own episode of MTV Cribs lol
Love the look of the house,love stained glass!! Always curious what you'll find. The little child's tea sets are cute to see. I used to play with doll dishes myself,wish I had them now. That spittoon was unusual. I hope you fare well in the winter weather this year. Take good care and Merry Christmas to all!! 😁🙏🎀🎄
Thank you for giving us a long video! I miss the days when you did the uncut ones and they were over an hour, long a few years ago on your other channel!!!😊😊😊😊 Thank you!🎉🎉
Tom, I’m a crocheter and I’m thinking that long skinny bone thing you found could be a very early crochet hook. Couldn’t tell if it had a hooked top end or maybe tip broken off. Anyway I hope you saved it and it could be one of the earliest crochet hooks dug up.
Hi Tom 👋 👋 👋 always amazed how you find these bottles 🍼 the house is also amazing 👏 and the bottles are a good age 😀 👌 Andrew south wales uk 👌 👍 😊 👏 🇬🇧
Such an early pit that just kept on giving, something tells me this property will be getting a revisit soon, great dig, especially love the longer episodes, all the way from the UK
Great looking color and embossed finds Tom. Some really great display pieces. Another great dig and enjoyable video to watch. Don't ask me why watching a guy dig up old outhouse pits is so peaceful and enjoyable; I'm still trying to figure it out myself. I've actually thought about this for a long time. I even started digging up what I thought was an old outhouse pit in the mountains of Colorado, near a coke kiln camp for the Midland railroads. It's tough work. I'm surprised you don't find a lot of old coins down there; I always figured there would be. You know... pants down, pockets open, coin goes in... who's going after it? Thanks for the great videos Tom.
Tom,first dig that brought you into the night. How deep was the hole? So many awesome finds and bottles that were new to you. Great dig, great soil and as always great back story on everything you find. Such hard work and so appreciated with your dedication to find history.👏👏👍😀
Another fantastic vid!!! I love the house you are digging at ! It’s a lot of work getting permission to dig, and you always do!! Beautiful bottles on this dig. Thanks for taking us on the dig with you!
Tom, one of those bottles you found was mine, I accidentally dropped it when I was traveling through the Dakotas back in 1880. May I have it back please?
Cool! Your very first find, very much does look like a uranium glass marble. When you held it up to the UV rays of the sun, it did indeed looked glowy! My very most favorite, type of glass! Got bunches & bunches of it.
Howdy from Canada Tom. Do you ever wonder how many bottles aren't known and forgotten until you find them? This is the most interesting part of what you do, for myself, anyway.
Another memorable dig Tom. Always surprised how few soda bottles seem to come from this age of pit you dig. Is it because they were returned for a deposit?
What fun! Thank you for bothering to take us with you. Love all the history given on the shops and drugstores. I do have one question…How deep were you when you hit bottom?
Now that was an amazing dig with a truly spectacular cache of goods to find. I knew right away with the finding of the marble that great bottles were in store. Great to see so that you got to keep a fair amount of them this time around with the cleaned up gallery. I would see if you can find an expert pottery maker to make you a side to the spittoon so that it is at least complete or fill in the side with a molded black plastic. I'm surprised that, with seriously deep digs like this one, you don't have a bucket on a rope that you put items in and have whoever is up top gently lift them out and lower the bucket back down after being emptied. BTW, who does you camerawork? With the exception of minor focusing issues, they always do an excellent job.
Is it possible to purchase 1 of the Dakota Territory druggist bottles or do they go to the areas historical society, museum. One my favorite digs Tom. Thank you.
Did the etching on that "chalice" match the tumblers you pulled out earlier?---This was a strange one. The darkness, the ambient city noise, and prolonged silences when you were about to pull up something interesting!
I watch diggers from other regions of the U.S. (and some from the U.K.) and they don't seem to come across nearly as much window glass as you do. Is that a Midwestern thing, for some reason? I know that the steamboat Arabia - a freighter that sank near Kansas City in 1856 - was carrying large quantities of window glass for homesteaders (it was bound for the Dakota territory, btw).

Thanks for watching!
Thank you for showing all the bottles cleaned up! Your videos are well done and I've learned a lot about identifying bottles.

The history you dig up is truly amazing. I love these little stories of America you tell. Thank you!

Hi tom! Can't wait to see what you find today😃😃😃
Another awesome video thanks Tom. A lot of nice bottles.
This is the only channel that I have notifications turned on for.
Tom's research and knowledge is really remarkable.
Beautiful house. They were smart to build the house of brick as so many Dakota territory towns were devastated by prairie fires.
The builders were well to do. The well to do loved to show their wealth. The brick house all decked out was a public way to show their private wealth.
@@oleradiodudea.m.4735or, perhaps, their main objective was being prepared in case of prairie fires.
I'll never know. Neither will you.
If u look at the huge fires in EVERY city they somehow got the brick and stone buildings to “burn” down as well. Early d.e.w.?
Love sharing your adventures. Sending well wishes from Oklahoma
No ads!! I love it!! Love your videos ❤
Best of the season to you Tom, good digging for 2025. Cheers from Canada.
Nice dig! Tom delivers an hour of total quality again!
Summary, titles, description all spot on. Love the extra images at the end!
This was a great dig in my opinion. Thanks for taking us along
Thank you for sharing this great educational experience 🙏🙏☺️
Thank you for giving us a long video! I miss the days when you did the uncut ones and they were over an hour, long a few years ago on your other channel!!!😊😊😊😊
Thank you!🎉🎉

What a great dig Tom! Beautiful bottles! 👍🤗🙂
What a great talent you have. Your knowledge is incredible, Tom. This dig was exceptional. I could watch you dig stuff for hours. So amazing.
That is so cool! It is nice you put the history on the screen!
Tom, I’m a crocheter and I’m thinking that long skinny bone thing you found could be a very early crochet hook. Couldn’t tell if it had a hooked top end or maybe tip broken off. Anyway I hope you saved it and it could be one of the earliest crochet hooks dug up.
Thank you for showing more of the cleaned up and close up finds at the end!
Another great dig fine sir! Have a good weekend!
As always great video! Enjoy the historical aspects to all of these crazy cool videos!! Happy Diggins💜

Wow Great Videos as usual. Thank you Tom❤
What a haul Tom, that was a lot of work but totally worth it, here’s to the next one.🍾🎄
Such an early pit that just kept on giving, something tells me this property will be getting a revisit soon, great dig, especially love the longer episodes, all the way from the UK
Nice finds would love to see your glass collection in a video soon it has to be amazing 👏
You enthusiasm is so infectious!!! Is the iridescence caused by time in the soil or is it original? Love every minute. Thanks, Tom.

Great video. You put so much work into your videos Tom. Even giving us a history of the companies? We really do appreciate what you do. 👍🇬🇧
It's great to see those really old bottles (150-160 yr old). The more rudimentary the better I like them. Good character. Dig on Tom.
Tom,first dig that brought you into the night. How deep was the hole? So many awesome finds and bottles that were new to you. Great dig, great soil and as always great back story on everything you find. Such hard work and so appreciated with your dedication to find history.👏👏👍😀
It was 9 or 10’ deep but the days are short this time of year.
Another fantastic vid!!! I love the house you are digging at ! It’s a lot of work getting permission to dig, and you always do!! Beautiful bottles on this dig. Thanks for taking us on the dig with you!
The variety of bottles is great
Howdy Tom 👋

Sweet digs!!! Hope you get better soon bro!
Tom, one of those bottles you found was mine, I accidentally dropped it when I was traveling through the Dakotas back in 1880. May I have it back please?
Tom, I was born and raised in Mt. Clemens. I would love to possibly purchase that mineral bottle from you. What a beautiful bottle.
Some pieces were so pretty. That spittoon was really cool. So beautiful ❤
i like seeing the bottles cleaned up at the end.
Great haul! I enjoy your digs, thanks also for history lessons.
Thanks again, Tom. Great finds as usual. Sounds like you were fighting a cold, but the show must go on, eh?
Omg spoiling us with another video..What cool house. Merry Christmas to you and yours
Thanks tom
Such an amazing variety on this dig. I knew it was good when I caught myself leaning in closer to my monitor to get a better look!🙂
Very nice finds Tom! I hope you have videos stored, winter is upon us! Brrrr. ND is well into winter now.
Cool! Your very first find, very much does look like a uranium glass marble. When you held it up to the UV rays of the sun, it did indeed looked glowy! My very most favorite, type of glass! Got bunches & bunches of it.
That last ruby piece looks like it would have been beautiful in it’s day❤
Absolutely love your videos. ❤
that was a great OLD Haul ‼️ Everything from the 1880's 💜💜💜‼️
Too Cool.. Thank You..

Awesome finds!
Really cool early pit, Tom. Great finds. Stay safe 👍
Some very old jars and bottles and a very ornate spittoon! Nice!
Tom another treasure trove. A1 buddy!
Nice one Tom - and dry too!
Great dig, Tom! I have a few bone crochet hooks that look very similar to that item that you found.
You found a great outhouse the lamp and the spitoon are so cool
What fun! Thank you for bothering to take us with you. Love all the history given on the shops and drugstores.
I do have one question…How deep were you when you hit bottom?
We really enjoy watching you and seeing all your finds. What do you do with all of them?
Love your videos. Hi from Georgia !’
Very nice as usual ! I really like the large flasks and the midget Mason

the photos are great !
Love when you find 1880’s pits.
Thanks Tom! @40:06 ♥
good Morning Tom, Can the old broken windows be repurposed, ie melted again, reusing historic glass? Love your channel! From Darwin Australia NT
Great dig! So many embossed pharmacy bottles! Did you really stay after dark to fill that hole in??? Loved the diabetes bottle! Keep on digging!
I like your videos ,, always something cool
23:31 that is a carved bone bodkin for lace making.
Thanks!
How far down did you end up? Looks like around 10 ft.
Great finds, thanks for sharing!
Is it possible to purchase 1 of the Dakota Territory druggist bottles or do they go to the areas historical society, museum. One my favorite digs Tom. Thank you.
Good dig, Tom.
Delightful 😊
Are you a professor? I wish you had been my history prof because I made Ds. Thank you for showing me hands on history 🎉
Best vids ever
Nice Tom
That was a deep hole for sure. Practically needed a ladder to get out, lol.
Nah, not a child's tea cup, that's a pioneer era espresso cup. lol That cowboy coffee was strong.
Does anybody know what he does with all these wonderful bottles and glassware?
I love watching his videos.
sooooo packed in there😮
Here we got a old tape worm Nebraska circa 1880
You sure put a lot of work into finding stuff nice job what's the best thing you dug up
Got your black light handy to check that marble? I have a small one that I got in the pet section for finding pet stains in my carpet...grr!
Did the etching on that "chalice" match the tumblers you pulled out earlier?---This was a strange one. The darkness, the ambient city noise, and prolonged silences when you were about to pull up something interesting!
Can these bottles be used again or are they unsafe to use? I obviously talking about the ones that were used for liquor and food products.
Those small pill vials ever have embossing?
I found one with a brass/copper screw-on lid with a "cross" on top in a WWI unit dump
Hi you made me go out and find bottles
I love those old Mason jars
