Sometimes when I watch your videos I find myself half living in the previous world and half living in the now. I'm 73 and used many of the things you come upon and recognize them. My family always appreciated things with age. I'm also a calligrapher and collect old ink bottles, so when a Sanford or a Carter shows up I know it as soon as you do. None the less, today's episode made me feel a bit older than my years, in a good way. Keep digging.
I enjoy all these old items. And it somehow brings those people who used them back to life
Amen! My house itself is about 100 years old. My grandma's house was built in 1888, Southern Minnesota.
Holy smokes that was an epic one to rewatch as a one yard dig. Thanks as always Tom.
Good Lord, Two hours and 38 minutes! Talk about making my week! Love you guys!
Lol
It amazes me how quickly you can date all this stuff. I really enjoy your videos. 😊
@Below the Plains , I watch this like a series. 💪😎 The paperweight was made for a advertising picture or just a picture of a landmark to be placed in it.
Love your style of urban archeology. It's a pleasure to enjoy your good company.
After watching several of these videos, I honestly never thought I’d find myself so fascinated with this type of content. I went and followed on Facebook as well, pretty cool stuff!
Dude...what a treasure to come home from work make a drink and see this diabolic video to watch... Tom? You rock all things! NK .
I enjoy seeing names on some of the bottles that my parents bought when I was a child. And a few still around today.
31:04 That's a glass rolling pin. They were filled with ice water then corked or had a screw cap. Also, it's ceramic bisque, pronounced bisk, like risk, not biscuit. My family had a ceramic business 1972 to 1988 and it was one of the largest suppliers of unfired greenware and unglazed bisque items in the Pacific Northwest.
I like seeing all the old things you dig up and would like to see a video on what you do with all of them.
Love the intro music and your adventures
Hi Tom 👋 👋 👋 and hi jake 😊 yankton south dakota was a busy place 😀 Tom I'm always amazed 👏 when you find all these bottles, very interesting that you can date the pieces 😀 yes I would say they were paper weights 😀 always look forward to watching your channel 😀 your the best 👌 👍 have a good week Tom and jake 😀 Andrew south wales uk 👌 👍 👏 😀 🇬🇧
Hello Tom, was excited to get the notification of your program, always look forward to watching these digs. So much history right underfoot. Great job to all that make this possible. Take care 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Your knowledge of bottles and their stories is very impressive. And every find seems to get you excited. You are the exemplary knowledge based treasure hunter!
I lived very near Yankton on the Nebraska side. A native man in our area who was very old when I was young used to tell stories about how water would amazingly come out of the ground for no apparent reason and on other occasions the ground would just open up several feet wide and a long long drop to the bottom. I know after Gavins Point Dam was built they had to move an entire town because the water table came up. Interesting hydrology in that area.
If you had a Time Machine and went back to late 1800’s early 1900’s and told people someone over 100 years later a man will be digging up were they pooped to get their garbage they would think you’re crazy.
Not pooped, but rather produced "use layer". 😆
Always a pleasure, thanks....I felt your pain when you said "We are almost 10 feet in the ground."
I always look forward to a new video, like to see what you dig up from back in the day. Back in the day is something i notice in your video's, and it always makes me smile when i hear it, maybe because I'm 53, and I'm closer to being back in the day lol. The number of items you find is pretty wild, and it's interesting how different site's people used certain kinds of snake oil for whatever health problems they may have had. I have watched nearly all your video's since finding this channel a month or so ago, love seeing what was once trash, and now is treasure.
G-d bless y'all.
I never get tired of your videos.
The details of the house are incredible
Great colors...they liked their beer🤣🤣🤣 Thank you!!😊😊
Keep going. We are All with you! Thanks 😊 UK.
Wow those were all cool digs. The last one was epic, it didn't look like it was going to end ! Ummm, that hole going to nowhere was freaky. Do you know what it was???
That last pit was insane! Wonder how deep the hole was at the bottom! Hours of fun watching this video
Why do you toss out the toppers?
Love the cranberry glass font.
Fun to see Sebring Pottery. My paternal Grandmother's family.
Your my every Friday lunch time video keep up the good work!!
This movie lol has answered a question I had. Early crown tops were tooled. I learn a lot from you Tom. :)
Love the professional style presentation and extra information…. So relaxing to watch and it amazes me how much work and energy you put into it all 🌸
That last pit was crazy
Well that took a while but I watched the whole thing! Amazing as usual!
When you said there was a sink hole there and it was real deep, you could hear the dirt still falling down it. - well I would have been off like a shot out of there. Our brave duo remained steadfast though. Thank you so much for this brilliant 2hrs 38min long program, don’t know what I did to deserve this treat but I will take it with open arms x
This is a great haul, so much fun to watch
Amazing I'm truely hooked
WOW ! You must have one incredible collection. Great video.
Still hoping to get to watch the whole process of digging, washing and selling your fantastic and rare finds....Or, the jar of silver and gold coins Grandpa buried in 1892!!! You're doing great and I have been enjoying this production....🇺🇸 I'm glad to tell you that I subbed your site and I have been enjoying it all....😎
I have had the best time!! keep digging tom
So cool! I love to watch, thank you.
Wow so many bottles ♥️♥️♥️♥️⚒️🇺🇸🗝️ Thanks so much for sharing your awesome video ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Happy Digging ♥️♥️
By the time Tom is done, the town of Yankton, SD is just going to be one big filled-in hole!
Some nice finds. 👍
Thank you for explaining use layers!!!!!
Those glass soap dish looking pieces are actually paperweights. They were sold in touristy areas. The paper in the recessed underside would have like a picture of Niagara Falls, for example.
So many awesome finds!
The beer bottles are bigger than the wine bottles!
It would be cool if you did a bottle tutorial on the different kinds of bottles you are finding in these pits. Love the channel.
So excited to see another episode in a short time.
Tuesday is definitely improving!
That's the first piece of Cobalt I've seen you find; mostly we get amber, pale blue or pale green. How rare are the 'deep' glass colors? I've seen colored-glass apothecary bottles on my various antiquing quests.
I love the old paper labels you show that went on the bottles,they are so interesting & pretty!I am curious when you find an embossed pharmaceutical bottle that only a few were made,how were these bottles made,are they made in a bottling factory?Love your channel!
I love watching your videos and the old things you find. That last hole at the bottom with the opening you found is probably why the hole keeps sinking, as dirt and groundwater move into it. I guess the homeowner knows about it now, anyway!
Tom, I absolutely love watching this. Keep it up!
You are so knowledgeable I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL. THANK YOU ❤🇨🇦
Omgosh so cool, I have Huber's in my family tree a great great maternal grandma's mom was a Huber!!!
And they lived in Yankton!!
That house looks familiar. Have you previously posted this dig?
The "castle" vase is likely a toothbrush holder, that came with a wash bowl and pitcher and perhaps a soap dish.
Seems like that big pit might have been a dentist working out of a home office. Could be reason for syringes, many small med bottles and that weird looking pliers tool…tooth extractor?? Glyco Thymoline is a mouthwash/rinse. Glad I didn’t grow up in those days. Dentistry was brutal!!
Yes you're right that glass rectangular piece is a paperweight and usually people put a photograph of some favorite person or seen in the bottom so you can look through the glass down at it I have a couple here but the ones I have around
The paper weight often had a photo or print on the underside (concaved side) facing up to the flat side. We had a couple on the show Lessons In Chemistry.
WOW another episode already can’t wait to see what you find!
My thoughts exactly, i am used to seeing these on the weekends, great videos
One day he'll find typhoid or something very similar to.
The paper weight would have had a photo or an advertisement on the indented side, facing the flat side. They were pretty common back in the day.
Wow! That's one heck of a property! Great digs! ♥
You are amazing!!! I love watching your discoveries... what do you think about maybe showing us your finds, adding one more finishing component... showing us a display of your findings after cleaning them all up??? That would be simply blasting into a new level!!! We wanna see all of those beautiful iridescent colors and embossing. I can almost see it, but there's mud on it😂 👍👍👍
What do you do with all the stuff you find?
Absolutely insane pit!! Good work fellas!!!
Wow! You must have a warehouse full of by now!!!
Oh man... what an awesome dig.....loved it...🥰🥰
wow you do some good digging
Always fascinating to watch. Have ever come across human remains, explosives, or weapons?
Epic.
I used to get the Croup every year as a kid. I would run a high fever and cough until I couldn't breathe. Every cough felt like my throat was tearing up. I was born in 1954 and I still have memories of it. My mom would sit in a chair beside my bed all night long.
Oh I love your videos
I love glass so I was happy to find this channel! But I have a question. Why take off the metal tops and discard them?
Good question.
The bottle is cold, and has been cold for 100+ years. With the caps on, rapid expansion from contact with warm air, can pop the bottle.
He’s had them explode in his hands.
@@erickmischke38 thanks for the explanation! Yes, I saw that time with the exploding bottle.
Strange that the two pits' have remarkably different compositions but seems chronologically congruent; top layer of your second pit starts at 1905 and gets older, whereas the first pit starts at c. 1915 and gets older.
But amount of shoe polish (pit 2) and cold cream bottles (pit 1), imply these are different households.
Neat mystery
Wow! 2 loaded digs! Do you leave a few of you bottles behind for the home owners?
I would be scared to dig under that concrete. Thanks for sharing these digs with us.😊
Your digs are fascinating!
Nice new boots!
Here we go 😁
So many things in the ground we walk on,you just b never know. Great dig!💞💞
Great video. Loved the length. You were tired at the end. But great job 😊
Just wondering what you do with the finds you pull out over here in England we buy sell trade and display them
Enjoy your videos very much. I recognized the pattern of the cup you found earlier in this video. It is English and pattern is Tea Leaf ironstone. Very popular in the nineteenth century earlier twentieth.
Always interesting! 💙
well love this . thank you .
I used to have some iron stoneware that my grandmother gave me. Stuff last forever.
Like your videos!! That was one big ash hole hahaha
2:12:08 awesome bottle. Love the three panel style
You sure did wear yourself out on those pits! The first and last one just kept on giving! It would’ve been interesting to look into that hole you found tat sounded like it kept going! Hopefully it doesn’t go too close to the house!
The one that you said was a paper weight, probably is. I have one like it.
What do you do with all the bottles do you sell them ? This is so exciting to watch . I'm a 74 year old grandmother and I wish my grandson was like you . Most old ladies are in bed sleeping and I'm just watching you . ( heck with T.V.your more exciting. Thank vou❤😊
Just like Harry said in Home Alone "WOW! What a hole!"
I watch all you videos and really enjoy them alot. Always wondered if they still stink after all these years? I know a few you have commented on about the smell. Just wondered if all were like that.
The malted milk advertisement is kinda funny. The last think you’d want if you are car or seasick is a bottle of malted milk. 🤢
The intact cracked cup has a tea leaf pattern. My aunt collected that pattern.
You're lucky that people seem nice, letting you dig on their property. People in Utah, not so accommodating.
Check into getting a Hori Hori gardening knife. It would make getting through some tough soil easier for you.
That HJ Heinz bottle looks exactly like the ketchup bottles from the 1970s.
Would be fun to tell the original property owners back then that over a 100 years from now someone would be looking for the place they pissed,shat and dumped their ash and trash 😂
I use a Dray Square Mason as my candy jar. With a Tin top with a ceramic insert.
You know an old saying was " Shave and a Haircut 6 bits ". I know they're a little more expensive nowadays, but maybe you could get one or just use a comb once in a while.
