    Do you worry about any bacteria or disease that may live in the pits you dig?

    Tom, three incredible digs. The cast iron kettle was awesome. Too bad there was so much water and packed clay mud. There could have been other items that could not be seen. A great mixture of embossed bottle from the third privy. The age was amazing . Such hard work with all you do to present us fabulous videos. Take care.👍👏👏😀

    So glad to see you back! Wondered why I hadn't seen a new video in awhile. I always learn so much on your digs, still sorry I missed you when you were here in Lincoln. One suggestion for the new channel - could you maybe number your videos for old people like me who sometimes forget where they left off? 😂❤

    I'm very surprised you didn't wear waders while doing these. Considering that the first was messy, the second was worse with the water and then the third become a bog, I would have definitely donned the waders after seeing the water issue in the second one. As with all of your digs, rare finds are a wonderful treasure with these pits. I bet you go through shoes like a kid in a growth spurt. LOL The ending cleaning up items (though it would have been nice to see all of the finds like that) were beautiful. They would easily be interesting artful pieces in a collector's home.

    It would be interesting to see if there was a tornado or some similar weather event that hit this area in 1910-1920 that would explain all the broken window glass.

    • @MarciaShackelford-st5bt
      @MarciaShackelford-st5bt 3 дні тому

      I don't know....there seems to be alot of broken glass if a place burned or even if it was torn down. Windows can blow out when a building is burning and usually when demoing a building they don't care if the break the glass or not, but it would be interesting to explore the tornado avenue 🤔.
