I loved the 80s overreverb'd guitar solo video montage.

Pretty easy to test for radioactivity from uranium paint. Not as concerning as it sounds.

At 10:40 that is a fireplace stone, an insert in a cast iron firelace.

So you're an awful liar and a bum

You guys should get a blower like what us telephone guys use to keep manholes ventilated when we work in the underground. Also, call 811 before you dig anywhere there might be underground or buried utilities. Obviously if you're hand digging, this is less of an issue but it's nice to know what's running through your dig site. Edit to note that I could really use some Coco-Mariani, you know, just to get my day started... :P

The Hydrocarbons of yesteryear were different than the highly refined gasoline and oils of today. And it is most definitely gasoline from back in those years. When you go to lakes that allow the used of motorized boats, you can see the exact same sheen floating on the surface of the water. But today it isn't nearly as bad as it was back when I was a kid. I'm old enough to remember the gasoline that had one very certain chemical that is no longer present in today's Gasoline. That one ingredient was removed because the onler engines required it as a means of lubrication. That ingredient was LEAD. I think you got lucky and found a spot where some old gasoline probably was stored for too long in some garage and then thrown out in an old can in the dump. I wager it was gasoline that was responsible for the sheen on those Glass jars and bottles. Just as a side note automobiles back in those days did not have ANY kind of emissions control. And the crankcase on the engines did not have exhaust gas recycler systems, but just had tube's that vent the crankcase gasses, out to the atmosphere. So the fumes from cars that burned leaded gasoline were venting positive crankcase vapors from the small amount of blow-by gasoline vapors escaped through the crankcase tube out into the road and of ourse the oils would also spill out as well and the oil also contained leaded gasoline as well. So my bet is the LEADED GASOLINE from gasoline contaminated waste, as well as leaded gasoline saturated motor oil that caused that beautiful Patina. If yo want to test my theory all you have to do is sacrifice one bottle and use some strong solvent and see it it removes that patina. If it does, the it is almost certain to be the gasoline and oil from cars that caused it. One additional note, wear heavy duty rubber gloves from now on when washing those bottles because the lead will certainly soak into your bloodstream through your skin. Wear proper PPE at all times, especially in that dump because all of the ch3micals back then were not regulated, and OSHA did not exist. So you are almost certainly at risk of being poisoned! No joke friend, take that seriously because your liver is the organ that cleans your blood and although the liver regenerates, those toxins can cause autoimmune disorders that will make you body think that certain parts of your liver is foreign material, and destroy your liver. This is what happened to me, and my many years as a mechanic exposed me to serious chemicals and I needed a liver transplant! I would spare everyone that kind of misery and pain. Most people die for lack of a liver, but I was blessed to receive one only a couple weeks before death. Please protect yourself! Being incapable of working and living on disability as a pittance for an income is my lot, and it sucks like nothing else!

Just be happy with what you did get.

Dioxin might be the chemical that does it. Makes it glow

Very high silica washed into the ground

Ned is going to be acting like Joe Biden after this dig.

I know San Francisco had read glass I was surprised not to see any of that.

My name is Everett Menard. While digging in a stream in CT ,I found a bunch of old bottles. 1870's or so. The 1st rwot where Everett's Shoe Dressing and the other ,Menards Liniment. True story. Weird things happen when you have a thirst for this kind of thing. I have many many stories that are almost spooky when it comes to finding things. Like you say almost become psychic when you get obsessed with it.

I have a Lash's bottle that's still sealed and obviously full. I was once pulling bottles out of a stream. First of all my name is Everett Menard. The first bottle I pulled up said Menards liniment. The second bottle was Everett shoe dressing. Do this day at 60 years old I can't believe that happened to me but it's a true story. I have thousands and thousands of bottles that are unbelievable. I could do this all day everyday

looks like aussie opal

INSANE bottles, Ned!! Love the history you share and the never wavering enthusiasm- your videos are always a blast to watch! Keep up the great work!

I bet that's chromium hazardous materials on those bottles

Such a cool history lesson with some cool stories!

That pit produced big time!!! Awesome botts! I’m like you when getting to spots haha I go through hell just to get to a potential spot! Lol

I'm surprised your team of merry diggers haven't invested in a portable shoring system, it would save a heck of extra digging and sucking, plus lives! How do you work out each individuals cut?

My personal theory for finding bottles broken in place is the application of lead by rifle or pistola. The intact gun cleaning oil bottle seems to provide a smoking piece of evidence.

I think this dig was very interesting. Its a beautiful mystery. Don’t listen to the bottle snobs. They are just jealous of some of the amazing bottles you have found and don’t really LOVE glass. If i was building a adobe, mud or any natural material house I would be beating your door down begging and offering big bucks for some of that glass to build skylights and windows in my home. I wonder if the glass casts rays with the the sunlight like hanging crystal does in the afternoon sun?

Maybe the old glass just needs more time.

Mind the red paint, cinnabar was often used (Mercury), white paint was usually lead oxide, and yellow was sometimes Cadmium. Always wash your hands before handling any food, leading cause of poisoning in the olden days happened to the workers who didn't wash there hands before breaking for lunch.

Glass makers over a century ago went to great lengths to reproduce this effect. Tiffany, lalique, Murano,etc...

Lead poisoning?

DId you find any bottles at the bottom of that privy.

Small crystalline stones in a pill bottle could be: rough diamonds, sapphires, zircons, kidney stones. Needs a mineralogist to have a close look.

90s sunglasses 😎

you I'm sure know that's the bottom of a scabbard??Civil war era

That stoneware jug is awesome. Nice dig Nedster!

Time for another $5 haircut!

The iredicence is most likely caused by the phenomenon of thin film interference. Same way in which melanin, which is brown in colour, gives one's blue eye colour, or birds their colouration. The 'soup' you were digging in, most likely contained viscous brown oxidized oils mixed with heavy metals and other contaminants. It's not a reaction with the glass surface, instead it's a very thin coating that light is refracting through. When the bottles are wet it will defeat much of the optical properties of the thin layer, producing a non iridescent looking bottle.

Hi Wendy! You run the show now!!!❤

OK the patina is nice but 1930's bots? Sad ( :

sitting on the bay waisting time yes🎉

Could be your best video yet!great looking bots.

The devitrification of glass is the cause of that opalescence, the process is usually time dependant as glass moves from essentially an unstable frozen liquid state to a more stable crystalline state. Lots of science behind all this, so when you add in the wet chemical brew in the soil at your dump site this accelerates the process. This becomes even more complicated by the salinity verses fresh water content, the presence of various chemicals and hydrocarbons, and zones of oxidation and reduction. So watching glass patina before your eyes is the result of taking the bott out of a strongly reduced environment and exposing it to a strongly oxidising environment, the rainbow colors are from the refraction of light through a thin film of devitrified glass formed on the bott surface.

Great to see a vid from ya, even if it's not as old as we typically want! Still made for a cool video and I totally agree, the patina made up for the otherwise undesirability! Good to see bottle babe Paige there with you as well! 😻😎 Yours is the only Patreon I've ever signed up for, and you more than deserve it! Make your way out to New York sometime and get on a privy dig with us!!

Where your mask?

Hmmm 🤔? Change of venue 💪😎
