As always, thank you so much for watching…Bob Lee.
Very cool! I would love to find sodas like these! I dig bottles, but I can't anymore due to some asbestos in the ground. How might you locate a bottle dump like this?
Oh my word Gentlemen! What a dig! You brought up Coke's I've never seen any other bottle diggers find! Congratulations! Thank you for sharing this with us! Great video! Great teamwork!
Many thanks, Julianne…your kind comments mean more than you know.
Nice finds, we just came across your channel and subscribing from Minnesota. Happy New Year.
Hey Twin Diggers, thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. Happy New Year from sunny Florida…calm, dry, 78F…Bob Lee
Another great dig! Nice Coca-Cola bottles especially from good ole Palatka. St Augustine bottle cool!
Thanks, Kel…
Great finds! I have a square Soda Water Coke from Palatka too. Merry Christmas guys!
Thanks, Winston…hope you have a Merry Christmas as well.
Get permission for an old homesite, use a probe in the backyard, when you hit crunchy…dig! Thx!
Some awesome finds coming out enjoyed the video well done
Thank you.
Cool finds we’ve dug around the starke area a lot. I’ve hunted the St. John’s river banks at low tide and found some nice bottles
Hey Danny, many thanks for weighing in. Most of the folks who comment seem to live up in the northern climes. It’s nice to have someone close to home watching.
Another great video Bob.
Thanks for taking the time to make and post it.
I have a question....
How do you like your digging shovel with the circle ⭕ handle?
Would you buy it again?
Where did you get it?
Thanks in advance
Have a Jesus filled day everyone

Hi Greg, the big root slayer is a fantastic shovel. I would buy it again…keep in mind there is a smaller version called the mini-root slayer which is not as sturdy, but what we use when metal detecting nice yards. Many thanks for watching and have a Merry Christmas. Oh, one more thing…Tractor Supply stocks these shovels-at least in Florida…$60.

Thanks Bob
Would never had guessed tractor supply carried them. We have tractor supply here in Michigan, one even in my town. I'll have to check it out.
Marry Christmas to you and yours also.

Hi Bob. Great stuff. I'm curious about that Orange Crush you guys found toward the end, around the 17.50 mark. Does it have a "P" embossed on the bottom?
Hey Kathy…that one ended up with the homeowner. It may have gotten tossed because it ended up having a crack on the backside. What relevance would a P have on the base? Many thanks for watching.
@@relicrescueusa3803 I have found a few if those same style Orange Crush bottles with the P on the bottom where I live, in Columbus Ohio. It's bottler Peter Schille, who was born in France and moved to Columbus with his parents in 1847 when he was 10. I won't go into his history here; the research on him is really neat if you'reinterested. His daughter Alice Schille (1869-1955) was a famous and talented internationally known artist, attended what is now called Columbus School of Art and Design locatedin the heart of downtown. Her father died when she was 17, and her mother lived to be 101. They're buried here in a local cemetery. It would be cool if you guys found a bottle with Ohio connections. 🙂
Really neat…you know your bottles!…I’ll be sure to have Chris read your comments. Thank you.
When you started pulling those soda waters i knew that hobble was 1915. If you look on the side of the base may be the word "Root" and a number beside it. That will be the year it was made. Root glass is notorious to have flash cracks. Looks like a 20s dump. I found a star bottom from albany ala here. The city i live in has changed names 3 times so there are allot if variants lol Fun dig wish i could be as lucky as you guys. Thanks for sharing.
As always, Clockwork Gnome…many thanks for weighing in. One thing I have learned is that every trash pit is different.
@@relicrescueusa3803 True. I have found modern stuff below older stuff and some times they are mixed together.
Good advice…something to always keep in mind.
At 11:23 that's the lid for the Mason jar you found at 13:32.👍☮️
great video great finds guys!!!!!!!!!
Hey 389rockford, many thanks for taking the time to watch and comment…Bob Lee.
Awesome dig and some pretty rare bottles. Merry Christmas 🌲👍☮️
Hi Sonny, many thanks for watching…here’s hoping you and the family have a very Merry Christmas as well.
@@relicrescueusa3803 You guys ought to do killer at that site. It just gets better and better. I envy you diggers down there. We have to dig some 15-20 ft. holes for dumps and especially privies. I think you guys a gonna tear it up at that site. And I hope that you dig one of the super rare Coke Hutches from your area .it sounds crazy but I had a dream of watching one of your digs. And you dudes found one. And of course the dream changed to something else. May the Lord be with you and you with him.🌲👍☮️
We have another site lined up in a rural area that may produce big for sodas. Before I started this channel I found 4 Hutches (2 from Palatka) in an 1890s rural homesite. To find the Hutches, you really need to have a site 1900 or earlier, even though they were produced from 1880-1910. You just don’t know what your going to find until you sink a shovel into the ground. And it sounds like your definitely an expert in this area. Merry Christmas to you and the family as well.
@@relicrescueusa3803 No, no I don't consider my self a expert. I've dug since the mid 70s. I really enjoy watching people dig in different areas than
mine. 👍🌲☮️
Congrats on a good dig. ATB
Hey 925inder…many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Glad you enjoyed it…Bob Lee.
Oh that’s some great bottles guys!!!
Thanks, River…looks like the last bottle from New York was the most collectible. Anyway, we are zeroing in on another site that also may produce some sodas? Thank you for watching.
@@relicrescueusa3803 sounds fantastic good luck
You guys ever find dispensary bottles down there? The 1915 Cokes are nice
Hi Gary, we find all sorts of bottles…a lot of meds at the Loeb-Hilburn House (earlier videos). What exactly are you referring to?Meds, apothecary??? Many thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
@@relicrescueusa3803 Whiskey bottles. I know NC and SC had them. Most towns had there own distillery
I’m tracking now…we have recovered honey-amber strap-side whiskies with no lettering except the mold number. A lot of the spirit bottles, while attractive, like a Hock wine, have no lettering. I’m sure we will eventually stumble into a dump with whiskies that can be traced geographically.
