Nice! My lady gets annoyed when I bring home bottles, but she lets me keep them. The iron paddle looks like it may have been used to stir the cauldron when rendering lard. I love that you foster. Bear sure is cute!
The big thing with holes is a skimmer. Neighbor had one almost identical that he used for making apple butter. Cooked it over an open fire in a huge copper kettle - YUMMY!Beau - to clean the insides of the bottles use Efferdent denture cleaner. Works really well!Love the vids!
Thanx once again for takein us ! . You are the arms n legs of us that just cant get out there . Best of luck this year with new hunts , where behind ya
More bottle video Beau! I'd die for to go to this creek. I bottle hint myself and have never found a creek with this many oldies. This is a great creek. With some clean up, some of those bottle could be worth some.
Hahaha.... I know what it is. Back in the day, before wall to wall carpeting, women that did the cleaning would take their large floor rugs outside and drap them over some fencing or low hanging branch and beat the hell out of the rug with the object you found in the water there. The holes allowed the dust to come through and out of the rug. They were made sturdy as to not break when the lady of the house took out her frustrations on the poor rug.
Betcha it was used for all those uses. Beating rugs, stiring fat, throwing pizzas in the oven and etc. Why have half a dozen tools just have one that's used in many different ways. Just rinse it off and go to the next chore that's awaiting on ya.
Anna M. Addison That'a a good idea, but rug beaters are not generally made out of iron...too heavy to lift repeatedly to beat a rug. I've seen a lot of rug beaters made out of willow switches, or other super bendable sticks, woven into a cool pattern, but never iron with a great big heavy iron handle. Maybe to stir laundry as it was boiled back in the day, or the kettle of soap they were making out of tallow and lye, or to fish cast items out of a cooling pot?
This video gave me a flash back of a funny story from my childhood, growing up in Virginia. A buddy and myself were bottle hunting around where an old house was falling down in the woods. There was old farm equipment scattered about that would have been pulled by horses and two large mounds of bottles. Many other bottles were scattered everywhere and there were tons of neat things to find. I had been there many times because it wasn't far from my house. As we were walking along I felt something and I didn't know what was going on until I CRASHED down into a hole. I'm waist deep in bitter cold muck that smelled JUST AWFUL! It might as well had been sewage! I felt sharp pains in my legs and I'm screaming, all the while my buddy has his hands on his knees, just about falling down with laughter. (What else are buddies for, right? :) When I finally gathered myself I looked around and saw these large rusty tanks, copper tubing, etc etc. Indeed I had fallen into an underground distillery. The hole was bridged with wood beams and planks, covered with dirt. When my "friend" recovered from his affliction due to hilarity he managed to pull me out of the 10' deep hole. With the aid of my friend I limped home to tell my father, who then too burst into laughter. "Sigh" He then exclaimed, "So the stories were true!" According to my grandfather, and many other elders, it was said that a bootlegger lived there and he was arrested many many times. He was, "a stout, jovial fellow, sly as a fox", as I was told. He would drop his packages into the Chesapeake Bay and crabbers would collect them. I'm sure he was a happy man because the local judge was said to be one of his most adorning customers, hence why no charges ever stuck. I received 26 sutures and a few shots. I still laugh about it to this day, 15 years later. The end.
Hello Beau, I recognize your big ladle thing with the holes in it. I remember my mother using one when she used to make clotted cream over here in the south west of the UK. The way it works is you get un-pasturised milk straight from the cow, put it in a wide container and warm it until the cream makes a crust on the surface. Then using that tool you lift it off by sliding it under the cream and lifting it out. The holes let the milk drip out leaving the cream behind on the tool. Nice video by the way. I have a few thousand old bottles myself.
A baby in every bottle! Why those cheeky double standard Victorians! Ha!! Thanks for continuing to publish and in being so versital in doing so that in switching gears now that winter's coming on.
I love your channel. I could be watching makeup tutorials like every other normal 13 year old girl but no. I love watching all the mysterious of the world and watching your videos put a smile on my face. my grandma goes bottle hunting a lot and the will make vases with the bottles she finds. I have learned to much so when I found out you did bottle hunting I was so excited!! I new about the medicine bottles history because my grandma told me about it.. I love love love love LOVE watching your videos. I hope you continue making these videos for a long long time. I even have a message that tells me as soon as you post a new video. I have watched all of your videos at least twice. and a few 4-5 times because I love your channel so much.
Yucky mucky! LOL. As my granddaughter tells me, "You funny". I really like the way you do your videos. It makes the viewer feel like they are right there beside you and you are talking right to them. Great stuff Beau, keep it up please. Have a great 2016.
AC at it again!! I know we only see the 'action' but, sometimes I feel like you're the type who falls in you know what and comes out smelling like a rose. Certainly not a bad thing. Glass is my first love!! Thanks for another great video Beau, happy hunting.
That had me singing the old Lily the Pink song, had not thought of that one for a long time! The Ballad of Lydia Pinkham. That grate with a handle looked like a skimmer for rendering or cooking things like cracklings. Enjoy the videos, thanks!
I love those bottles and it is so kewl what you do. I have a trash place I get "stuff" from and sometimes go hunting and getting Pecos Valley Diamonds, which are crystals.
That "ladle" reminds of something I once saw in a video where they were making cheese. Breaking up the curd in a milk vat after the rennet had been added.
I got started in the junk hunting biz by bottle dump digging. Started when I was 12 at the local Bean Creek. Nice finds !! Thanks for sharing. ....Rhino
Chig, always appreciate your video's no matter what. Heck, I think I would watch you eat a sandwich and be entertained. Thanks for getting cold just for us.
I bought a neo magnet on Amazon last night after watching you and I bought the Olympus camera you told me you had. Don't worry. I'm in Missouri and and not after your buried treasure! 😜
beau i feel the same about the bottle history when you do research on the bottles it also gives me insight on the next metal detecting adventure learn where things were great vid keep them comin its to cold in jersey now so time to become a caveman till spring stinkin winter
The item at the 5:37ish mark might be a ladle for when you are making cracklings. It looks similar to the one used by my ex in-laws the one time we made cracklings.
Hay chigg, I know this was one of your older videos but I still learned some things I didn't know. And that's what matters to me. I like to learn everything I can about the days gone bye. What a great thing it is to be able to learn about our history. I'm 51 an I love to learn everything I can about our history in America. So much fake news out there these days. Great bottle hunt on the creek, nothing better then getting in the water. So much to find, it's just awesome. As always safe an happy hunting. 😁👍👍
Beau, Right before you got to the Lydia Pinkham's medicine bottle , you passed over an Indian tool. It was palm sized and all chipped away on the edges. I'm thinkin' the round iron tool with holes in it and long solid iron handle was used somehow at the place where you found that flow of melted glass on the ground down by the river. Maybe for skimming the sledge from the pools of melted glass or ?
@ 2:01 that bottle you grabbed, I think nugget noggen found one of those one time and called it a side rim flask or something like that. I say that because of the flat rim that goes up the sides of it.
Huh ? 212-K + Congrats. Nice strap side flask. Interesting info on the Lady Pinkham's. Hmm, alcohol ? I was wondering why those bottles were so plentiful. When you were giving the background about it. I was thinking about a traveling salesman driving through there selling snake oil miracle cure-all. LOL
Beau I agree with George Hay on the ladle, looks like a curd ladle to me! The wavy bottle I think might be a Squirt or Sun Drop bottle, either way it is to cold to be in the water!!!
The To-Ko bottle is very cool! I've found a couple variants before in a northern Virginia dump. After doing a little research, the company was founded in 1908 and goes off the map by the mid-teens. The Western Maryland Historic Library has a few of their business records on file, I believe...
Ladle might have been for rendering lard back in the day. Ours was maybe 10-12 inches across. The long handle was so you did not have to be close to the heat and hot oil. Mike
About the Lydia Pinkhams bottle this mixture was well known in the U.K as well,in1969 The Scaffold had a No 1 hit with the song Lily the pink based on an old drinking song about Lydia.......M
Bear eats cat food huh? I have a 3 yr old mixed breed chichiua and something else that does the same thing. So I can feel comfortable knowing that our Elvis isn't the only one that does that. Bear is adorable. I'm so sorry that he has seizures. But I'm sure you will find him a good forever home.
That "Ladle" thing is called a spider. It's used when deep frying or boiling to pull the food or leather and whatnot up out of the liquid, without taking the liquid out of the pot. That particular one is massive, so I'd think either used for really large kettles, or tanning leather.
Green bottle is a Squirt bottle. Ought to be a little of the yellow paint on it yet to ID it. The giant ladle is what I've seen people use to lift cracklins out of lard at butcherin' time
of you like old bottles beau, look for old trash burning piles behind old houses, I usually only have to dig about a foot or so and I find dozens of incredible intact bottles! even the really pretty blue and green ones!
Beau, great video as always, cool looking bottles. Just recently I was detecting an old site here in Southern Maryland and I found a tiny bottle maybe 3 inches tall and about 1 inch wide, looks like a tiny milk bottle, clear bottle cork top and right next to it was a 1883 Indian head penny, one hit two targets, Awesome find. Now that it is winter how about a relic room video? Your fans are asking :)
Nice! My lady gets annoyed when I bring home bottles, but she lets me keep them. The iron paddle looks like it may have been used to stir the cauldron when rendering lard.
I love that you foster. Bear sure is cute!
You make me want to drop everything and commit my life to what you do, including saving animals
Bear has the sweetest eyes, hope he finds a loving home. Great video Beau thanks as always!
it creates a smile on the face when you see our history teacher @beau Oimette upload a video
The big thing with holes is a skimmer. Neighbor had one almost identical that he used for making apple butter. Cooked it over an open fire in a huge copper kettle - YUMMY!Beau - to clean the insides of the bottles use Efferdent denture cleaner. Works really well!Love the vids!

Beau ouimette I've been showing your vids with friends and family
Bear is adorable! Kudos to you and your good lady. Yesterday, I adopted 2 sibling cats that had been together since birth 10 years ago.

***** Hummm... it thought those were flat with no holes in It? So, the Slag would not go back into the melt... but I know what you're talking about.

That DDD reference was amazing, Beau. You silly.
5:40 that drain thingy you found, yhey used to slap rugs with it to get the dust out.
That "ladle" reminds of something I once saw in a video where they were making cheese. Breaking up the curd in a milk vat after the rennet had been added.
George Hay day
Plenty of cool things in your videos. Your the only one I check "like" before I view.
I got started in the junk hunting biz by bottle dump digging. Started when I was 12 at the local Bean Creek. Nice finds !! Thanks for sharing. ....Rhino

Beautiful old bottles.
That one at 7:23 is a 1950ish squirt soda bottle. Have one just like it
I think it's a early 50s :)
I think it's after the late 40's :)
Great bottles Beau!!!
Thank you fo these videos. I really enjoy watching them.
Thanks great video. Love the history and Bear!
Please tell me you figured out what the long handled round strainer/mixer looking thing is. Driving me crazy!
I have Lydia E Pinkham`s Vegetable Compound . The first bottle you found was really nice .
Pertty puppy dog Chigg be safe and GOD BLESS
Great video bottle hunting is a blast I've done it a few times at my cabin in Maine where there's an old dump it's always cool what u find
@ Kade Wesner. Where about a in Maine? I have lived here my whole life and love finding old places to find stuff like that. It is so exciting
+juliatito my family has a cabin on Parmachenee Lake near Rangley
+Kade Wesner it is beautiful up there
+juliatito sure is u know where in talking about?
Love all of your videos!
beau i feel the same about the bottle history when you do research on the bottles it also gives me insight on the next metal detecting adventure learn where things were great vid keep them comin its to cold in jersey now so time to become a caveman till spring stinkin winter
Love seeing bottle hunt videos!! I've got a massive collection of bottles and loads of them behind my house
Sweet puppy
Very cute dog beau
since we're guessing on the big iron laddel , I'm going with a old rug beater. lol. great hunt. be safe out there.
The item at the 5:37ish mark might be a ladle for when you are making cracklings. It looks similar to the one used by my ex in-laws the one time we made cracklings.
+bigdave46148 Boom! You got it.
all those bottles brink back memory's of my grandmother rolling out biscuit dough using a wine bottle
5:33 reminds me of one of those things they used to shove pan filled with coals in ones bed ( later replaced be the hot water bottle ).
Hay chigg, I know this was one of your older videos but I still learned some things I didn't know. And that's what matters to me. I like to learn everything I can about the days gone bye. What a great thing it is to be able to learn about our history. I'm 51 an I love to learn everything I can about our history in America. So much fake news out there these days. Great bottle hunt on the creek, nothing better then getting in the water. So much to find, it's just awesome. As always safe an happy hunting. 😁👍👍
I think the strain thing you found was used when slaughtering your hogs to drain the fat out of your cracklings when you rendered your lard..
Nice...love it.
Really cool video thanks very much for sharing
Great field video!! LIKED and enjoying your channel

Enjoyed ☀️

Bear is so cute!!!!!!
Chigg...that big ladel reminds me of industrial brewing ladel for cooking or brewing in giant vats
Huh ? 212-K + Congrats. Nice strap side flask. Interesting info on the Lady Pinkham's. Hmm, alcohol ? I was wondering why those bottles were so plentiful.

happy new year Mr Beau
That grate looking think is an old plow or old (horse operated) farm equipment seat I think.
I love your videos, and I'm only 12! You inspired me to start digging up creeks and metal detect it sure is fun. Keep making awesome videos!
Please make a video showing everything you've found. Love the videos and you're so knowledgeable about everything! Keep it up :)
The big ladle thing is possabley used for spearing fish thru the ice as a big ice ladle
I would love to visit your house! I bet it's like a history museum. Is castoria... Would that be for caster oil?
Ladle might have been for rendering lard back in the day.
Ours was maybe 10-12 inches across.
The long handle was so you did not have to be close to the heat and hot oil.
Mike
The green ribbed bottle might be an early Squirt soda bottle? Another great adventure, Mr. Beau.
About the Lydia Pinkhams bottle this mixture was well known in the U.K as well,in1969 The Scaffold had a No 1 hit with the song Lily the pink based on an old drinking song about Lydia.......M

You need to teach that little puppy to search for bottles, old shells or gold.... Otherwise great looking bottles. God Bless
The ladle thing was use especially for make (stiing& straining) lard in thee big black iron kettles. I have actually used one in my lifetime !!! LOL
that big metal idea is used for ice fishing to clear the ice from the holes
I really like it when bottles have information embossed on em so you have an idea what the hell they are
That "Ladle" thing is called a spider. It's used when deep frying or boiling to pull the food or leather and whatnot up out of the liquid, without taking the liquid out of the pot. That particular one is massive, so I'd think either used for really large kettles, or tanning leather.

Cool info on the Pinkham bottle.
Looks like an ice fishing ladle
Good video. Have you ever done a video on "how to clean bottles" ?
We love your videos!
Beau, great video as always, cool looking bottles. Just recently I was detecting an old site here in Southern Maryland and I found a tiny bottle maybe 3 inches tall and about 1 inch wide, looks like a tiny milk bottle, clear bottle cork top and right next to it was a 1883 Indian head penny, one hit two targets, Awesome find.
