It's nice when our country is such dire trouble that we can sit and watch a man and his buddies dig privy pits and escape for a bit.
I am retired so I have lots of time to watch these interesting digs!
Yep! I have to sit up all night with an elderly handicapped lady to be on-call if she needs to use the wash room. Otherwise I just sit. If it weren’t for videos like these and a few other creators of different kinds of shows I enjoy - all nice, peaceful shows - I’d lose my mind I think!
You Mean with the world and country going to shyt we can watch a Guy digging the shyt looking for glass artafacts.. I agree with You .
How about a video explaining what you do to the bottles to clean and preserve them, and if you sell them etc? Great vids.
I know!! I’d love to buy a couple!!
I love that you say “oh wow” to each new find!
The theme music is perfect 🕊️🌹
Hey, Tom your videos are very relaxing and educational....We here in Texas appreciate all that you do...Thanks a million!😉
Don’t know how I got from Mudlarking in the Thames to digging for bottles in South Dakota, but I’m glad. Especially loving the bird sounds in the background.
Me too
I have watched your channel for a couple of months. I have gone through every video. I just love the history and beautiful pieces you dig! Keep up the great work!
Yessss!!!! Whistling a happy tune.😁😁💖💖💖
Wow, start to end . Thank you Tom.
These 2 are so knowledgeable about this, that’s what I like about this channel, I learn so much.
This channel is my favorite channel,always enjoy your videos.
That Palmer bottle is awesome! One of those is on my bucket list.
yeah we find a those every so often. i always take those little tiny ones everytime we find one. thanks for watching
The conical ribbed food bottles are E R Durkee of NYC salad dressings - found all over New England. Glass food bottle products were imported into the Midwest when the states were finally established, and the post-Civil War 1865-1920s railroad lines quickly transported the product (and beer and whiskey) to the local township stores.
Thank you, Tom, for another excellent video. Please continue wearing gloves durung these digs; I always look away whenever you search around in glass strewn soil with bare hands! Be well. 🙏⚒
Awesome job guys! thanks for taking us along on another one of your adventures
Pickles must have been a real delicacy, back in the day. It seems those pickle bottles could’ve only contained one or two pickles. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Blessings.
Pickles and ketchup are really easy to make. What made these so alluring to shoppers? Did they contain chloroform, morphine, and alcohol, like patent medicine? These bottles are signs of a prosperous era when money could be squandered rather than carefully doled out for necessities.
the small cobalt blue was my favourite, what a beauty!
thats like a 40-50 year span of items you found in those pits, basically some families entire history buried in that yard
This was another amazing day! Beautiful bottles, jars, etc… The best of it all was the dinner ware and all of those pitchers. My goodness you did so well ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Awesome finds... I love the little bottles,my mother used to put tiny little rocks in them...lots of memories...love your videos...🥰🥰
Great dig. Your the Best.
haha thank you!
Tom and Jake, another fantastic backstory and digs. Great pieces of history retrieved. 👏👍😀
The 1910 bottles are very cool. My dad’s parents were married in 1910. He was born in 1919.
New to the channel, have you ever considered running a metal detector over the dirt to see if there are coins from the same era?
yeah we used to do that from time to time, and sometimes we invite someone out to detect with us, but theres usually so much rust in the pits thats turned into powder, so it sets the detector off a bunch.. it doesnt always happen but it happens enough that we got annoyed and kinda just quit doing it. we only really ever found wheat pennies.. im sure we've missed some good stuff before, but with the filming and digging, it just got to be alot. we are thinking about getting a better detector tho, to maybe help with all the background noise. thanks for watching!
First! ~~ And we appreciate and enjoy your videos ~~THANKS~~!
Best wishes from Brisbane Australia ❣️
I love the idea of the little thumbnail photo of the restored piece as you did with the apple/peach plate. Could you do more of that?
That was a Brilliant Long Dig of all those Pits and YES - the Pitcher is one of my Favorites and so is that Ornate Dinnerware - this was a Blockbuster Dig - even Edison was dug up - ha ! You sounded so very Happy with Your Haul and what an Haul it was! Glad the 1894 House is still there ! Many Cheers from Australia !!!!
Best video yet! Thank you for making history come alive. Makes you wonder how all the he products came to that area from all over the world.
Amazing !!! God Bless. What a task and what patience in digging 💙👊🙏🏻
I'm probably not the first person to ask but do you sell any of this stuff? Where I live it would be almost impossible to find a pit like what you're finding. Absolutely one of the most interesting things to watch.
every old house had at least one or two, even where you live.find the old houses in your town then you're on your way!
I got to be the 1,000th like on this video! Made me happy. Great video. Thanks!
Great old architecture of that old house ❤ Some really cool finds out of all those pits! And a lot of digging 😅 Keeps you in shape. 😊
Great job again guys. Love the format and I have learned a lot from watching. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Great work on Bavarian Dish! Wow.
So these people drank a lot of beer and ate a lot of pickles. 🤔
I loved the red ink bottle ,thank you
I think the first thing you couldn't identify is a bent gate or door latch! Great hunt love your videos!
Love the little pitcher
FYI, there are many people that revise doll heads, body parts, such as arms legs just the heads even. Just sayin incase you hadn’t thought of it. Also the broken bottles that are rare or special can be cut and polished and made into a drinking glass or container to put brushes in! Thank you for your videos, I truly enjoy them.
Just found your channel. Love it! I like that you give a brief description of each bottle as you pull them out. I actually live in Cando North Dakota, 20 miles from Leeds and know that house. Pretty cool.
Merch idea: a gray t, with “stove ash” printed on it
Very fun video. Great editing.
Nice variety of finds on this dig.
You need to come to New England, and dug 1700’s and 1800’s bottles!
He's dug Maine and actually in the south on the east coast you find the same bottles.
I have a family member who collects old bottles so I have to show them your channel. And I don't collect but now I'm watching your videos.
Wow some great finds! Thank you!
great digs as always
I'm just amazed by the number and variety of bottles you always find. I just would never imagine finding so many. Makes me wonder what people digging holes will find 100 years from now.
The Edison bulb was a killer find! :)
We have some in original packaging-they were my husband’s great grandfathers!
this is one of my favorite channels, thanks for all the hard work
There are people who repair dolls. Remarkable transformations. They might be interested in the doll heads and parts you find. Even if they are partly broken. Just a thought😊
Great digs !!!
Love this!!
Awesome finds😊
That quill pen was a really great find, that would go right in my display case, broken or not. The last bottle would look nice with the sun shining through along with the blue bottle, tool top on another of your videos. Do you ever find coloured glass perfume bottles, did they make them as that would be something to find. I grew up with an outhouse at my Grandparents cottage, neighbours I visited as a kid! had a his and hers outhouse, they were inseparable, hahaha.
Now that was fun, the flared tool top food jar in the second dig was very interesting to me. Tom your hand have alway interesting to me and now that Jake is showing us his hands what a nice addition and get him helping dig what a pleasant treat now that's what I call partner's and what a 3 dig video, so enjoyable. You young men keep up the good work, the one pit I was getting a bit closerfobic but you survived, it was a pleasure to watch you two do your thing, be safe and take of each other, love ya much. Afriend.
New Subscriber here. Great videos!
This is fascinating! New sub!
I love your channel!!! I'd like to know if all your digging is lucrative. Keep up the good work its totally fascinating to me!!
I really love watching your videos. It is so interesting seeing all the different bottles that you find. You are so knowledgeable . How many years have you been doing this?
I love love love the stuff he finds i can't stop watching these videos I would also love to see the things after they've been cleaned i try to picture them cleaned already when he shows them
Me too! Been watching all day. Haven't gotten a darn thing done. Oh well....time well spent. Fascinating
@@ellenlewis9860 lol lol you sound just like me ill get to watching something and there's gos everything else for the rest of the day I've been there several times
Video 59:00 That is a very special and small (super rare, potentially unlisted) Heinz ketchup bottle (sampler size) - needing a proper ID with base embossing and bottle number .... $100-300 bottle right there.
Great finds, please check the nib on the bacalite pen as sometimes they were made of gold. Cheers for sharing 👍👏❤️
Beautiful dinnerware pieces
Beautiful house, just love it❤
ah I remember these videos. its nice to see them all in one, because it really gives you a nice scope of what a single location can encompass.
Video 1:14 Another special Heinz bottle that focus and clarity unable to fully see Heinz embossing and bottle number - needing a proper ID. Possible $50-100 bot. Machine made in the (1905-1910) period at Heinz Glass Plant Sharpsburg PA.
Awesome fines
Just found the channel, looks awesome, a couple of things to make watching more enjoyable, wear a body mike if poss the audio is poor,and i love to hear your descriptions, also tell us more about the dig sites, how you found them, your research, permission to dig etc, keep it up cheers
Orange Crush bottle, wow! Now to find a Grapette. The embossed soda bottles so nice and finding the perfume/toiletry bottles. Was that the first Listerine? Thanks Tom and crew. Will pass on the Hamlin Wizard Oil.
Man those plates are super cool! I'm pretty sure that blue one was Chinese
Comment comment comment thanks for sharing
Check those "pickled bottles" which are tall pearl onion or olive bottles for embossed base H J Heinz No. (bottle number) or a singular centered high bottle number (not a mold number) and they will be in that period of Heinz machine made (1905-1920ish) era bottles.
Pop's here. You should cut the transfer ware and make mosaic trivits.
Always amazed when paper labels survive
the depth and shape of this hole makes me think it was probably the pit of an outhouse, which were often used as garbage dumps. The canning may have held home brew or homemade moonshine. :D
Why make your own when everyone in these towns is buying bottles of the good stuff?
the glass "Pitcher" is a pressed glass vinegar cruet, it had a glass stopper
Imagine the Zillow listings back then haha; 5 bedroom, 3 outhouse
I'm just curious why there isn't more "stuff" that you find, especially if it was a pit to throw away garbage? Why is it mainly bottles, is it because other items have probably deteriorated?
Tom, I noticed that only one plate dated from the earliest days of the house. Will there be another video from this property?
Dude I’m new here but you should do a live dig if you haven’t already! That would be so sick!!
I’ve asked this before, where is your museum going to be and when can we expect to be able to go and visit it? Please tell us that you are going to do this or already have done this?!?
I believe previously he told us that much is sold to finance the work. Betcha he surely keeps some of his most favorites!
@@maureenfitzgerald1895 and those are the bits that everyone wants to see anyway, his vast knowledge of the area and what it’s all about along with those things is what a great museum should be all about, don’t you think?
@@Mtlmshr for sure
@@maureenfitzgerald1895 they have said before they keep some bottles, but most are given to local museums or historical societies. That's why they get so many permissions .
I loved that huge liquor bottle, and honor to Lilly! Ah sad, that broken ruby flashed pitcher. I collect that stuff, have >100!---I just saw on the computer this morning that North Dakotans drink more beer per capita than all the other states!---Hopefully, anyone who has seen Finnian's Rainbow can recall the Senator having an anxiety attack & yelling for his bromo seltzer!---thanx for the plate insert! It makes me happy that you get excited about finding the pieces of ornate dinnerware!
someone's probably already mentioned this.. many of the drug store bottles may have contained witch hazel. I'm wondering if the plants grow around there? Thanks.. fun to watch as always!
nice
the bottles were probably worth more than the beer that was in them back then
Our country is a privy pit without the pretty bottles!😂
We’ve got the best country on this Earth the very best
Dude I want to come dig with you sometime! I have none of the skills but I’ve got a shovel and all of the talent haha
Looks like good rich soil
Damn finding a whiskey bottle in the privey and they were drunk and thrown it away full !!!
I think you guys need to invest in a small digger but love your videos cheers from Sydney Australia
back east most beer bottles are embossed, out there in the Midwest there mostly plan that's strange .
Creepy doll head indeed. Especially with back missing lol
nice day for dig
Enjoy your digs very much. I have a stupid question. How in the world did they remove those pickles from those jars?that
Pickle forks😀
Not a wash basin that is broken,but an old yellowware mixing bowl. 😊.
Pop's here. Have you ever shown any of your bottles cleaned up.
Been watching for a bit, an was wondering. What do you do with all the whole artifacts ( bottles & such ) that you pull out ?? I'm guessing you throw the broken stuff back in the hole.
Tom what do you do with all your bottles. Display them?
