Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the LIVE premiere! It was very impromptu, so I apologize to those who missed it. Was fun watching and chatting with all of you! Those of you who are now watching it, let me know what your favorite part was! Also would love to hear your guys thoughts on what you'd like to see MORE of or even LESS of. Feedback welcomed!
Ever found a Pirelli’s Miracle Elixir? 😂
@@SordSwingrr1 Haha not yet 😆
You have found more coins than all of the coins that they have found on Oak Island !!!
😂😂😂😂
I did not know of that type bottle with glass gravitating stopper! Learn something new . Thanks
I really appreciate the effort to take the camera down in the hole for close ups. It doesn't go without notice!
Thanks a bunch Danny!
nice finds boys
Thanks man!
blowing my mind with all the intact bottles still containing their original contents! amazing!
Thanks John! If you REALLY want to be mind blown, go check out our Hutchinson soda video! We found over 30 soda bottles from the late 1800's still sealed full of soda!
Hi good morning good luck today..
Great dig guys outstanding, those coins are the best
Thanks for watching!
Bunch of good stuff in that pit, great dig fellas 👍
Thanks Steve! It was a fun pit! Always love to dig a good variety of nice bottles. It was a great pit even before the coins lol 🤣
Awesome finds !
Thanks Tara!
What a fun dig!
It definitely was!!
That's the dream, to dig a clump of coins like that. Amazing recoveries!
Thanks!! Gold or even silver would have been nice but let's not get greedy lol
@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers I'd trade you a few ounces of silver if you'd rather have that. 😉 You're probably pretty far along with your dug Indian head cent collection after finding those. If you haven't already, you can probably pick up a used album or folder from your local coin store for a dollar or two.
Some cool bots 😎 The coin clump find is what dreams are made of ⚡️🍀
Thanks buddy! We gotta get together and dig again soon
I'm getting old I see you guys so deep in the hole and hope and pray it doesn't collapse great video wish I was 30 years younger
Thanks Adam! The holes we dig are typically shored with stacked up stone. Especially the really deep ones. Also our soil here is very stable. Not sandy or loose like some places. No real worries on a cave in! Thanks for watching and appreciate your concerns
wow those coins are amazing. Insanely awesome bottles dug up! great job!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed
I'm a collector (former online reseller of) ephemera and it's so cool to see these, as I have a lot of Victorian quack medicine paper for these and others similar to them. Great finds, guys!
"That's soda in there"😂 doo doo water!!!
Lol no
Nice stuff. Pennies should clean up nice. Post a picture when you finish them. I love and collect large cents.
I've been metal detecting for ten years now, and I have found only one large cent. I can barely read the date, 1818 I think. I have dug maybe half dozen Indians.
Just watching this video today, September 2. I recommend taking that 1/2 bottle of beverage to a lab and analyze it for a recipe. Then re-release the beverage so people can get a taste of the past... if you haven't already done that. Keep up the great work!
If you think we should do that, watch our hutchinson soda video (video title "digging over THIRTY 1800's hutchinson soda bottles FULL OF ORIGINAL CONTENTS!") That would be one we could really do that with
Also, thanks for watching John!
GOOD DIGGING!!!
Thanks for tuning in!!
That was crazy to find all those. Congrats! That poison bottle is really nice.
Thanks! That was my first poison in a longggg time and definitely my best! The coins were insane to find like that. Wish we got down there at an earlier time when it was still light outside so the footage would have been better. I think it was like 10 or 11pm when we foind the coins LOL
What up Brotherman!
Whatsupp! Thanks for watching man
Would love to see the reveal of all the coins cleaned up
We will!
@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers Where is the coins reveal at?
@@daverehr1009 haven't done anything yet other than what's shown at the end of this video. We've all been really busy
Can you imagine if you dropped those coins in there incidentally while you were taking a dump. Youd be gutted lol or maybe someone stole them and nearly got caught so they put them down there so there sisnt get caught with um. I mean so many reasons they could be sown there. Awesome vid as always guys x
Totally! I think the idea of them being stolen is more likely. These things are heavy!! I don't think anyone had this much in their pocket lol
Hopefully we'll get to see some wen you've cleaned them up and yeah def more likely x
Big thumbs up!
Thanks Brian!
@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers My son wasn't able to come up. My apologies.
Good luck with them I hope to see the results. I haven't had time to watch much for a while but I'll definitely look for it when I have more time again.
Good luck!
“Somebody shit that out.” THAT was funny!
Hahaha my cousin Hunter is a riot 🤣🤣
@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers .....looking forward to the follow up video
Would love to see the coins all cleaned up!❤
We will post it once we do! We still haven't touched them. Been very busy with other stuff
Will do!
Poison Bottle - Parke, Davis - maker's mark Parke, Davis & Co. (~1880s - ~1940s) - with all the other bots this fits into the 1900-1930 period
The coin clumps are awesome you may even get some flying eagles
What a great hunt!!! Are you digging in H Valley? I grew up there. I visit up there alot! I have a friend who owns a very old farm! I’m going to get permission there! Love the content! Thanks!
They were happier than Jon on nickle nite at the penny arcade till Mean old Mr Jones is shakin the outhouse cuz its night and Jon is like oh dang there goes my sock full of fun!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Consolidated Fruit Jar Company (distributor, not glass maker) 1875-1883, bought out by Hero Glass Works of Philly in 1883 who bought out all of the mason's rights via CFJCo and then in 1904 went belly up with the 1904 depression economy (!). And everybody else got into the whole mason, perfect mason, improved mason fruit jar business.
Be sure to check dates, mint marks, and errors on those pennies. There have been plenty of pennies that have gone at auction for tens of thousands of dollars. Can you imagine if there was a copper 1945 in them? Some dates of the steel pennies are worth money too. Beautiful bottles and boy you two worked hard to get them. This comment may get me in trouble, but I have been digging for 50 years, and a rule of ours is never to have all of the diggers in a hole like this deep one and not have anyone up top. You did that a couple of times and if the walls collapsed on you, there would be no one to call for help and dig you out. When I was younger I would be the monkey and climb into the 12 ft deep privie. I witnessed a good friend get buried by a collapse. There were 6 of us that day and got him out quickly, but that did it for me. You young fellas have your whole lives ahead of you, so try not to end it to early by not thinking of your surroundings. That goes for the solo diggers too. Great job on this dig!
Just FYI -- all 1945 pennies are copper. The steel pennies are 1943. So a copper 43, or a steel 44, are the rare finds.
pcp, I think you have found coins that were from the towns fire? Did you clean them up did you find any rare "Flying Eagle Cents"?
Maybe try throwing them into an ultra sonic cleaner.
check those food bots bases for bot numbers, makers marks, and the potential embossing of Heinz with their bot number (w, w/o markers marks). Same for checking those slick pharma bots - as maker's marks give the date range of those bots - that can be as few as 2-3 years !!
Wax sealers (embossed and unembossed slicks) were made as late as the 1920s ...
Pop's here. The grab stoppers are call hutches.
@paulmusgrave3387 No, not this one. It's a gravitating stopper. Older than hutchinson sodas. Hutches took a metal loop wire with rubber gasket while these took a glass rod with a rubber gasket
Nice digs!✊
Thanks!! Was a super fun pit
@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers I bet!
That was wrapped in newspaper or in a brown paper bag and tacked underneath a privy seat plank. Best place in the world to hide something-somewhere no one would never Ever want to look! Eventually the bag came loose and fell. That’s my theory
I think that could very well be! I'm thinking something along those lines or they had it stashed somewhere wrapped up and someone else unknowingly threw them away. Being wrapped in newspaper/paper bag they wouldn't have made a recognizable coin jingle noise
Try CLR can We get a B4 & after please
ahh man a livestream...awesome
I enjoyed the video fellas, cool finds. I gotta say though, you are asking for some serious injury or death digging like that. I know OSHA doesn't really apply to you as a hobbyist digger and all but you should really thing about reading some excavation guidelines. when you get much deeper than 4 or 5 feet you are putting yourself at serious risk of collapse. I work construction and see properly excavated holes collapse on people and get them hurt. Many die. You are using a rope ladder which is a joke, at a minimum a proper extension ladder. You are digging voids under weight that are going to collapse at some point. You have to slope your excavations in some way to reduce this risk. Really at those depths you need some kind of shoring or real structural support to prevent collapse. I really like this hobby and am a metal detectorist and am delving into bottles and privy searching but I gotta say the way this is done is really REALLY dangerous. Please think of your safety going forward.
Warranted Flask (trade mark patent) (1904-) A.G. Smalley (distributor) Boston
There might be soda in the bottle, but there may also be water from the pit. With the hot & cold changes, the seal may not have held.
It was still the soda you could tell by the color and consistency
nice gravitators, and poison ,
Thanks!
The O.S. Beach druggist in Owego NY was in business (pre-1905 - post 1921) according to the directories. No Parmalee or Lyon or Parmalee & Lyon noticed in Owego NY. So Beach & Parmalee ... and Parmalee & Lyon were (post-1921 - 1930) cork stopper era.
GD YT !!!! F POS !! Research done - glitched and erased everything.
- Otis Seth Beach (1860-1915) - conflicts with Era Druggists' Directory (1915-1921+) statements
- Aldura W Parmalee, b Oct 1859, other census says 1858, listed in 1870 census as Albion, age 12, living with father A.S. Parmaller (sic) in Owego, marriage in 1880, conflicts as Parmalee not listed as a druggist in the 1905-1910 period "in Owego."
- correct name Alburn Worthington Parmalee (1857-1910)
- both Beach and Parmalee born same time, yet Parmalee dies 5 years earlier than Beach, both would be druggists from ~1882 - 1910 ... 1915
- Parmalee & Lyon must then be ~1882-18xx (Lyon dying ?), then Beach & Parmalee (18xx-1905ish ?), wherein (sickness, ill health) Parmalee retires before 1905 directory, and dying in 1910. Beach follows, dying in 1915
So Parmalee & Lyon would be the oldest pharma bot, followed by Beach & Parmalee, moving into Beach only
None of this can be validated by other findagrave, census, druggists directory etc.
Ball Mason/Ball Improved Mason .. (1900-1910) made at Ball Bros Muncie Indiana on their own Ball Bros (patent design) fruit jar machine. Ball Bros moved 1890 from Buffalo NY (coal-fired glass plants) to Muncie IN (natural gas-fired glass plants) - with other glass companies moving to Midwest for cheaper glass bottle and jar making as well. Only later with the Greenfield IN glass plant that made Boyd's Perfect Masons, and they have rights to the first-gen of Owens jar making machines - that Ball was able to gain some rights to Owens machines. Eventually, they would convert to all Owens machines, and drop their machines. These jars and those of the Perfect Masons and (staggered) Perfect Masons were made after Ball took over Greenfield, pinged out Boyd's and put in Ball in that 1915-1920s period with staggered, then corrected Perfect Masons. The tapered-shoulder seals vs the stocky Perfect Masons were those of the 1890s-1910 period.
What an exciting dig. I am a metal detectorist and hunt for coins. I sure would love to see the coins cleaned up. Were they all Indian Head Cents or was there silver or gold in there too? I dug a bunch (maybe 100) of pennies once, but they were mostly zinc pennies and a few copper memorials, nothing old. Yes, the coins were my favorite part. I use to operate heavy equipment and have dug up old bottles with a tractor a few times and would stop and investigate and come up with old bottles, but I was not into bottle hunting or collecting and I have no idea what ever happened to them. I know some were old, where the seam stopped near the top and the top was put on separately. I only wonder how many old coins I loaded into a dirt truck and hauled away while grading and demolishing many old home sites?
So far looks like all Indian heads, but we still haven't really broke apart the clumps yet! That's awesome! I'm sure some coins slipped through the cracks. Thanks for watching Harry, glad you enjoyed!!
(sic) White & Hummiston druggists Owego NY does not show up in the directories 1905-1921) ... so this is another pre-1905 or post-1921 pharma bot. Most-likely this is (1921-1930) cork stopper era.
hey brother some of Indian pennies are worth alot like 1877 I know for sure please be careful cleaning them u might even have some flying eagles anyways awsome God bless you and your families my friends
Thanks Mike! Ryan mentioned that. He's been detecting a long time and knows coins much more than I so I trust he knows whats best for cleaning them. Thanks for watching!
@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers I metal detect and I use a rock tumbler, put in fish aquarium gravel and water and tumble them. I really don't see anyone else using this method but it workes really well in my opinion. Just don't tumble too long and put a shine back on them.
I think lemon juice eats the corrosion away so you can separate them.
We did a couple in hydrogen peroxide
Pharma bot Nichols NY Era Druggists' Directories
Vol 11 (1905) - Vol 19 (1921) only lists these 2 during all these volumes
G S Bosworth
S H Latham
So most-likely that was a Bosworth or a Latham pharma bot - and they could have pre-1905 and post-1921 business as well.
Cady's and Farnhams pharma bot Nichols NY - not listed during all of the above volumes - either pre-1905 or post-1921. Most-likely they are (1921-1930) cork stopper era.
Correction - looking at this bot - it clearly is a pre-1905 period Nichols NY pharma (~1880s-1905)
My son is a chemist, I'll be seeing him in a week or two and I'll ask him what he would suggest for cleaning and separating the coins. I would think that the right chemicals could be great and wrong ones could ruin them (I know, I know, Duh, right?)
Let us know!
I would need to see a clear and clean snap of that fruit jar you are mentioning ... as one there I couldn't get a good see at ..
Should be able to see at the very end when I show the bottles all cleaned up
I wld clean them somewhat and look for that 1877
Thats what Ryan suggested. We just might! Thanks for watching ✌
white distilled vinegar
Probably too harsh
you had that that aqua glass canning lid - hopefully you didnt zing it !!!!
Nice find!!! Who was poop in’ coins?????
Serious question, when you go to a location to dig, what’s the agreement typically between you and the owner???
Here in SW Florida we don’t have many if any old sites to locate. I spent a few weeks searching for a privy around an old schoolhouse and meeting place from 1800, no luck!!!! Poop!
The soil is mostly sand so the ground is really easy to poke with the rod everywhere.
Typically our agreement is just that we will be respectful and do a good job filling the hole and making it look like we were never there. We always offer to share some of the finds with the land owner, but I'd say 9/10 times they don't want to keep anything
What’s the song at the end? Can’t seem to find it
The one at the very end is just titled "Summer time demo". I'm not sure if it's been officially released yet. It's my cousins band. I can ask him though! Glad you like it
why not a good battery powered shop/work light?
We have one now. Just unfortunately didn't have one during this dig. We didn't think we would he here as late as we were. Pit was bigger than expected
All those coins, along with the dated bots would be in the 1920s and earlier times - and all silver and all copper .... do electrolysis on those !!!
The last year they made Indian Head Cents was 1909. I want to see them after they are cleaned. On this channel I hope. I don't do tick tock, or face book.
What was the E J Tracy pharmacy of (------) NY embossing ?
Nichols NY
@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers Mentioned in other comments - only 2 people have the Nichols NY druggist listing for entire (1905-1921) entries Bosworth ... and the other is Latham. So this E J Tracy is pre-1905 or post-1921.
@@johnlord8337 definitely not post 1921
@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers Then the bottles age would be (late 1880s-1905). I need to do some census, genealogies, and findagrave data and might pull out more backstory.
They don't find Codd bottles. ?? Should be some. For. 1800s era. ??
Code bottles are mostly from the UK. There are American Codds but not common to find them here
It fell out of pocket when sitting on the outhouse.
200+ pennies? I don't think so
like 15 years of digging only found 1 whole pipe
Please -- do not use coin cleaner chemicals on them. That will make them next to worthless! No coin dealer or collector will touch a coin which has been "cleaned" or "restored" with chemicals. Soft soap and water. That's it.
We know. Still, soap and water isn't going to do anything to these at all. Some have suggested tumbling them and some have suggested just leaving them in clumps. The issue is that certain dates can be valuable (1877) and without getting them clean enough to read the date, they have limited value or appeal
Hope with those coins he will be able to buy a lamp and learn how to extract the bottles without breaking them
Lol when did we break a bottle whilst extracting it?
Drop my log in there
Lol
I lost your name the chat texts dissappeared
Shayne Potter 👍
Clumps are more valuable
The camera manipulation is terrible!! The way y'all handle the coins appalling!
That's the best way to authenticate your coins..
Your lucky strike!!!
It's hard to come up with a plan when the "water breaks"...
That hole looks too deep to be safe! A cave in would kill anybody stuck down there. 3 minutes.
It was safer than it looks. These pits have the walls lined with stacked stone, wood, and sometimes brick
