Just looked up Phosphene Gas .
If you'd have broken one of those . You might have been a Gonner !
Absolutely terrifying that somebody threw that out in 1890's and in 2024 you dug it up .
* shudders *
It's a drag when you hear the words" This pit is done' but I know it's got to come to a end, great video
I get so bummed out at the end of these videos - I'd happily watch the discoveries all day if I could. ❤
Love your excitement Tom when you find something you’ve never seen before 😊
Another fantastic video Tom! Every dig is different and so interesting! Thanks for taking us on the dig with you!
Love your program. You have a voice that is very calming to listen to. No matter what you find I enjoy hearing you
Thank you!
What treasures you found on this dig Tom. These glass containment’s were just part of every day life then, just tossing in pit when broken or of no further use. Little did the know what would happen when our Tom came a digging. Thanks for these wonderful digs you do and for sharing. x
I watch British mudlarkers who salvage bottles from estuaries and dumps. Colors and sizes are quite varied. Most favorite are the stone mineral water and beer bottles as well as the master inks and inkwells. Really enjoy learning how far and wide different bottled patent medicines and foods have traveled to reach the Old West. Be safe in the dig.😊
That was a very exciting and refreshing dig. I loved all the different bottles that we have never seen before. I bet you loved it too. Awesome video thank you.
“Sig fyrup” 🙈 sounds like something Northern Mudlarks would say 😂
Love your videos. They are my go to when I just want something chill to watch. I like the older pits the best 👍🏻
So excited to watch your new adventure!
Thank you again Tom! Your videos are such fun to watch, i watch half and save half for the next night!😂❤❤❤
What would the ancestors think of all you diggers and all of us watchers interested in what was in their toilets. 😂😂
I often wonder what they would say if told in 100 years from now ppl will dig out your outhouse just for the bottles
@@sherimiller5857 Haven't had an outhouse for years.
Maybe 150 years from now people digging in our land fills. Snickering about our electronics.
😂I think about it too.😂
I always wonder what people will think when they dig up our stuff too!
So glad you didn’t have to be soaked in mud this time!
I’m not sure what’s worse, the mud or the dust haha
@@TomAskjem. you can wear things to help deal with dust. Lol
The tiny bottles are my favorite. Vintage baby food jars were cool too.
I know a couple people who collect tiny bottles. My ex actually had a tiny curio cabinet full.
Loved the baby jars with tops ... its always sad when you say this pits done. 😢 as I want to keep watching new exciting finds
Many vids to come!
@@TomAskjem. I'm in the UK fascinated .
Thanks Tom (Sun. morn.) 😊 UK.
Nice work, Tom. I see your posts on FB as well.
Awesome silver quarter 🇨🇦. Fantastic dig as usual. Nice job Tom.
I really dig into digging into history bud. Keep it up pal! I myself dig for history to preserve.
Sweet digs!
Awesome! Dig buddy dig!! Love the show! Rk.
Just got home from fishing and caught your video of treasure hunting. 💪😎
Thank you great finds as always ❤🇨🇦
Wow, great pits full of treasures!! Love your vids🤩
Great finds Tom, very early. Great dig. Take care and stay safe 👍
Love your videos and the tiny bottles
Thanks for watching!
California Fig Syrup was popular in Britain too. I’ve seen plenty of videos of people digging California Fig Syrup bottles out of old bottle dumps there.
I appreciate the info!
Amazing dig...awesome to see the 1800s bottles...til next time ..🥰🥰
Thanks brother! The phosgene in the first pit was a little disconcerting, but I loved the Elepizone piece in the second pit! ♥
Please extend the cleaned up items gallery at the end of the videos to show more of the collection found from the digs. It's great to see them be found, but better to view them all shiny and lit up. Superb digs in this outing. Always better when the soul is dry. For informational data sake, it would be very good to have sealed bottles with contents tested to see what was actually in them that people thought was healthy. Having that info. to accompany bottle knowledge would be very beneficial for those desiring to know.
You know your stuff young man👍
I love your channel!! Those ampoules are bad juju!! Hope you didn't get into them! Whoever threw them away thought no one would ever find them way down in the ground!! They didn't know Tom Askjem!!!
Awesome finds! I found a side panel of that cuticura bottle, and thought it was pretty neat.
Awesome video Tom. So many beautiful bottles. Mason jars are so pretty ❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome video. I loved the baby food bottles .
Wow,the treasures that you're finding,after you have researched and found an old map and was able to find what you were looking for
Enjoy your video thanks
would love to do this adventure, would be so much fun to find some of these bottles
Thanks for taking us along, have a great weekend
Always a good episode with ya Tom. Thanks for bringing us along for the dig and all you're hard work putting the research and details together....great stuff!
Another incredible dig, seems like with every dig the gems found are more and more incredible.
Wow! Quite the pits to have you stumped on a flask style and to never have seen some of the bottles before, because you know your stuff! Great dig! Keep on digging!
Tom, if you're ever in Queens, N.Y., I recommend you find a dig in Flushing.
Nothing like finding them mason jars great video buddy 😊
Thanks!
Great dig as always Tom!
Phosgene gas, also known as mustard gas (because of its color). Gained its deadly notoriety in the fields and trenches of WWI. Your small ampoule where possibly used for killing gophers? Handle with care.
Thank you for the videos. I look forward to each one!
Many more to come
Tom, two amazing digs at that location. Your back story research is always amazing. Loved the hero’s mason jars and the Mel lens infant formula. A lot of prescription little bottles. Great fun to watch.😀👏👏👍
Not a lot of finds today but still an awesome dig. Turning up history. Your knowledge is exceptional. Definitely dome quality pieces
Could you glue back the broken Valley City bottle for display?
Definitely. My buddy ended up with it. I think he pieced it back together
Very nice finds! See you next round!
Wow I would love to see it up close. I am a coin collector and from Canada. Never saw that old of a coin. Wow .
The first recorded uses of pharmaceutical ampoules were around 1840, with the aim of storing chloroform, one of the first known anaesthetics.
My wife is from dickey north Dakota. Very small farm town. Her childhood house, is still standing, and abandoned. You should go there. She attended a k-12 school on building. Nearest town 15 miles. Her school is still active today
That's really cool.
Good dig I don't remember seeing that much ash it looked like alot to me anyways, ready for the next dig, thank you it is so much fun to see what comes up, cool!!
There was a lot more ash in this one. It was likely due to the space that needed to be filled and the surplus of ashes from stoves during those times. Thanks for watching!
there is a cricket on the audio. I thought it was in my house.
Hooray !!! -- A dry one finally !
WOW, A COIN LOVE IT
Thanks Tom
Can't wait for the weather to cool off here in Nevada (Las Vegas) to do some digging!! Video was amazing like always💜
I've heard you mention types of bottles you've found in Maine in previous videos, Eastport being one of them. Do you have any videos from Maine? I reside in Maine and have frequented Eastport a few times. Great finds as always!
No full length vids from Maine. I wasn’t regularly filming then. I may have some clips from Maine, though. I’ll have to go through some old footage. If I find any I may post it here or on my Facebook
@@TomAskjem. perfect, I certainly appreciate it! Happy digging!
Definitely a good bottle dig Tom 👌 really early bottles 😊more to come Tom 😊have a good week 😊Andrew south wales uk 👌 👍 👏 😀
Hi Tom, May I ask what do you do with all the bottles, etc. that you excavate? 😊
Some are kept, sold, given to the property owner and donated to museums. A case by case scenario. If no one is interested we throw them back.
OOOOH, I'd love a chance at that Canadian quarter Tom!!!! Still curious about that skate you dug up too!! =D
Lots of good fines was going to ask if you ever found any coins good dig❤
Canadian quarter cool. I really liked the shot glass.
Dry pits for once! Nice job guys!!
Great job
thank you
That big old pumpkin seed flask love oit
Is there some kind of preservative spray you can put on paper labels to keep them from drying and flaking off?
Awesome pit
What did you do with the phosgene? Dangerous stuff. The cassia oil in elepizone may have been used solely as a flavorant; ground cassia bark is what almost all modern cinnamon products - including ground 'cinnamon' are made from.
I just bought my first bottle: turn-of-the-(LAST)-century Liquozone. Not too old, not too rare, not gonna say how much I paid for it (seems to be typical market value). Just spotted it in an antique store and grabbed it on impulse. I'm too physically stove-in to dig my own, and it's a great tactile object just to hold in the hands.
The ampules had already been broken open so we just threw them back at the end of the dig.
@@TomAskjem. I guess it was used for agricultural chemicals. Have you come across them, before?
the cast iron piece with holes looks like the top to a wood stove.
Phosgene is one of those run for your life chemicals. You'll feel fine for a day, maybe with some slight irritation. Then you die.
Is the little flask, called a pumpkin seed?
Tom -- always curious what you do with all those unembossed bottles?
We usually throw them back
I'm not sure if I believe ya after contemplating your response
I believe it because we've dug hundreds of unembossed prescription bottles from trash pits and covered them back up taking only the unusual, unique and embossed bottles
@Steve-Pitt i would keep/hoard all of them lol. I wasn't trying to sound rude i just shouldnt have thought he was kidding. Love your videos, Tom!
???Tom, why are Shoofly bottles called Shoofly???
Maybe a Wiederman brewery, it's got an eagle 🦅
If you dig up a Mason Jar, make sure you have the right size Fez.
Have you ever tried to grow the seeds you find? I’m sure they’re berry or tomato seeds. Just wondering if 100 plus year old seeds could be germinated.
I have a friend in Kansas who is trying to grow some. I’ll post an update if it works
@@TomAskjem. Growing up in the country, our septic spilled out down over the hill. We were warned to never eat from the tomato plants that grew down there. But those seeds weren’t 100 years old. It’ll be fascinating to see if he can get them to sprout.
@@ivcmom75but be honest. Did you eat any of them? Lol 😅😂
@@cathifamjourney469 nope, we put out a huge garden every year. We snacked on raw vegetables and drank well water. So far I’m still alive.🤣
@@TomAskjem. I would love to try growing some seeds I can send money for your time and postage thanks,
I'm glad you didn't break those Phosgene Ampuoles, the Germans used it for Chemical Warfare. I would've thrown them back in the hole, they were doing fine down there
I wonder if the ampules were smelling salts?
Apparently if you smelled these you would die, mustard gas!
You should detect for coins in some of these.
Kind of curious if any viewers that are where your from decided to go dig up their yards.🤣
I don't have a yard, maybe my older brother will let me. On his farm. Just imagine what stuff, he would find.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
All those cool bottles, and we get to see only 3 cleaned up.
Frustrating and somewhat annoying.
Those little Ampules were Ammonia/Smelling Salts.
Others are saying that they contained deadly mustard gas, used in WW1 and outlawed thereafter.
Two divorces in those days…hmmm. Women didn’t get divorced then.
Makes you wonder about the guy....Maybe he drove the first wife to her drug habit.
People were wealthy then, to squander so much on patent medicines.
Either that or desperate to find a cure
Clay at the bottem is likely dust that washed off the roof and settled to the bottem
Dude......get some knee pads. Your future self will thank you.
No offence.. ever find human bones?
