    Hey! A quick favor to ask: The landlord who let me dig asked if I could give a shoutout for his daughter's TH-cam channel to get her subscriber count up. Her channel name is: maxx3ya2 Please subscribe!

      @@TomAskjem.LostHorizons Can I trouble you. I've been doing a great deal of glass research since they found all the glass jars filled with berries at George Washington home. I had no idea that Jamestown had the first factory. Anyhow I can't seem to find any videos on making bottles, vases yes but I'm just wanting to see the different molds and materials. Can you help

    Hi Tom. Love watching your digs. When I was a child I would explore & dig my great grandma's back yard. Consider coming to Waukesha WI. We have a rich history of healing springs & had 2 old bottling companies which still stand & have been repurposed.

Oh and just so you know, if you don't mind me saying, that most folks(whether it is wrong or not, I am sorry) pronounce Claret like it rhymes with carrot, the T is not silent! Anyway, great dig and I look forward to your next one! Be safe!!!

    Love watching you dig these pits and seeing what comes out. I too love digging but most of have been old trash piles. I especially like the area near where my granddaddy lived. His house was one he was raised up in and also the house his granddaddy built c. 1830. Anything l find plowed up where the rain has revealed it, be it pottery, china, grass etc. I collect, wash it and place in jars to display as part of our history. I also found the junk pile his parents used. It was fun just to see what they threw away, finding old bottles, porcelain, crock pieces, jugs etc. and found yellow ware and some red ware pieces l am saving. I would love to see the yellow ware and other pieces you put back together. Thanks for sharing Tom.

      I never really liked puzzles but l love putting together old pottery, china etc. even old papers back together especially those that have something to do with my family. My granddaddy's house has been in the same family since it was built c. 1830 so anything l find in the old junkpile, out in the fields l collect as part of my family history. Crazy it seems I also love family history that too is a puzzle.
