    I like it whenever you explain details that determine style, era, manufacture method, etc. when you hold items up. I’ve been watching you dig for a while, but wouldn’t be able to identify like you could. It’s fascinating, but it’s a whole different level of fascinating when you share details as you did around the timestamp above.

    Mom used to buy Hires Root Beer extract. It came with instructions to mix with water, sugar and yeast! We made home made root beer every summer. And, always, at least one bottle would explode or blow its lid. I remember my brother and I scrubbing root beer off the ceiling, walls, counter and floor. If we were lucky, it would blow its top. If the bottle exploded instead, we also had to clean up broken glass!
    But the root beer really was delicious!

      Me too. My folks were young and Dad insisted this be done in the basement and fermented in the under ground pump house. It had a wonderful taste that was never replicated in commercial root beer in New England.

      Mine too. Can't get Hires any longer but most brew shops that stock ingredients for making beer and wine at home also sell soda extracts. One 4 ounce bottle will make 5 gallons of root beer. I use 2.5 pounds of honey with 2.5 pounds of cane sugar.

    Tom, learned from an antique seller today in South Carolina that back during the War Between the States, plantation owners would put their silver and valuables in stoneware crocks or enamelware, then drop it down in their privies. They knew the Yankees would look in there. Sounds like it could be true, of course, I wouldn't know for sure, but it makes for a good story.

    I used to drive truck for Garner Trucking, Inc. Findlay, OH, their biggest contract was with Heinz Inc., at the Fremont Plant, ketchup all day long! I can still smell the tomatoes, that’d be brought in by farmers, on trailers called ‘trays’. I only use Heinz ketchup. With all the ketchup bottles being recovered, I’d love to see if you find Heinz products. We’d deliver 45k/lbs of ketchup to grocery warehouses east of the Mississippi River. Anything beyond that, train cars were loaded. I had no idea how many different companies made ketchup. In the different Heinz plants there were displays of the bottles that were used since their inception. I’d sell those bottles to them.

      I post some clean-up pictures at the end of the videos. Right now I only have five bottles in my collection. I sold most of it years ago to fund some book projects that I’m working on. The collection was so big that I didn’t feel safe leaving the house. I sold it for over $100k. Now I’ve decided to only collect the absolute “holy grails” of each state. That way the collection stays manageable and I can easily tuck the bottles away when I go on vacation.

    At 25:07 what was that silver thing you yanked out snd threw behind you like it easnt even there? It had to be something, wtf

      @TomAskjem.  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It wasn’t silver. It was a broken ironstone china water pitcher. A plain pattern. Incredibly common. I’ve dug hundreds of broken ones; no one seems to be interested in them. Even the whole ones are difficult to sell or even donate to museums unless they’re ornate.

      He keeps a few special ones, gives some to the land owner, sells a few occasionally, and donates to museums. Sometimes the bottles are reburied if no one wants them.

      Some are kept, sold, given to the property owner and donated to museums. If no one is interested we throw them back.

    I always try to imagine what the owners reactions were to damaging the artifacts before discarding them in the pit as well as the reactions of people who accidentally dropped items into the pit (like a chamber pot, pocket knife, coins, watches..etc.).

    Well root beer is a better smell than the alternative. Obviously some soda fountain, saloon or restaurant either went out of business & rather than transport the left over supplies they dumped it hence all the extract bottles in the same spot or they thought the extracts had gone bad.

  • @Phaota
    @Phaota 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I do hope you saved the root beer cache of bottles and kept them sealed. It would be awesome to have someone use a bottle to create an authentic 1800s root beer. If it is good, they could bring it back to the stores. The hotel must have run out of Catsup bottles at some point since the Wahpeton soda bottles had Catsup in them. That quart jug and beater crock were amazing finds, as well as the salt and pepper shakers. The perfume bottle at 30:08 looks to have a Jester's head with the dangly hat for the symbol on it. I see foam in that Watkins Liniment bottle at 48:22, which means that thing is sealed tight with the contents. That would be very interesting to see tested for what it contains. You've got some serious hutzpah to continue digging in the murky water for things, not knowing if you might get stabbed by a broken bottle. I'll keep saying it so maybe it could happen, but having a longer gallery look at the cleaned up items at the end would be great.
