Hey, I'm an old lady & the re-visits to the awesome digs are new to me🤣‼ Still the best historic bottle diggers on YT‼ Quit complaining‼ Love you guys❤❤❣
Yeah, even if I watch it again I can't remember if I saw it before or not (I'm on the old side too). I do remember unique items that they find though. That clues me into if I've seen it before or not 😀 !
@@dorothycraft2173I’m wondering about that too. But I have no familiarity with outhouses. Did they need to be cleaned out? Was stuff thrown away regularly or all at once when someone left the property? How deep were outhouses? I guess I need to Google that and go down that rabbit hole.🕳️ 😂
Love your digs and seeing what treasures you find. Please make a video about how you got into this hobby/career, how did you learn about bottles and bottling companies, what do you do with all those items you dig up, do you clean them yourself, are there collectors and buyers, have you ever been injured down in the pit, how is your back, have you ever found a dead body or something suspicious, are there other places in the US or abroad that you'd like to excavate, what items in particular that you've found are the most valuable, do you edit your own videos or do you pay someone to, do you ever do live videos and answer questions, etc. Inquiring minds want to know these things!
Forgot to add that i love the research you have done it shows with your knowledge of the pieces you find! I love the pictures you add with it (the advertising). Keep it up!!
Love watching you as you dig through yester- years... so fascinating to see all of the unique bottles and other items that you find... I actually have a question! What do you do with all of the items you find? Do you have a business selling them? I also wonder how do you clean them up... considering where they are all coming from.... Enjoying your channel so much.... keep on digging....
Compared to today,the past had a much more pleasing aesthetic beauty to it in the construction of everyday items.Great digs Tom and pleased for your rare beer find.
I was born in the 50s, we dug a burn pit every year , in to it went all the garbage . We burned once a month . 1 year we dug up an older burn pit and found all kinds of neat bottles , jars, and stuff like that . All our neibours came over and looked at what my dad didn't keep. Figured it was from the mid 1800s all the stuff not taken was put back in the pit. Today there's a big car lot building on top of our burn pits. Lol just wanted to thank you first time I've thought about it in years was always a fun day digging our new pit , me and dad. Thanks
We love watching your channel. Our house was built shortly after our area was settled -1750 to 1800ish. (hand hone boards, hand made bricks and nails) We decided to install a pool and dug up our back yard, We found a ton of old bottles and jars, plates and bowls! It was so much fun! As a 55+ year home canner I get sooo excited when you find old Mason and Ball jars!
This was a great mid-week treat! Tom, I appreciate your patience in showing us every piece especially when there is another piece waiting that you really want to see what it is!! lol It is appreciated!!! Thank you guys! Take care,,can't wait for the next dig!
Love your vids. Perhaps sometime you could do a somewhat instructional vid going over the different styles, types and manufacturing of bottles from your finds. That would be very interesting.
Hello from Northwestern, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦. I’d love to find stuff like this here in Canada. I collect bottles. Have all sorts and love them all. Wow….i guess I better start digging around here. But the US has better history. Ha ha keep up the great work. Love your channel. Also……I’m in the pharmaceutical business. Take care and stay safe. ♥️🇨🇦♥️
I do not think you have ever giggled like that on your video! Nice Heselton! Shows the emotion and joy of being able to discover Treasures & new knowledge!🥰😍🤩
I don’t know who has ownership of all the things you dig up, but every time I watch your videos I wonder what happens to all the beautiful broken porcelain? Has anyone offered to sell it? I can imagine all the fantastic artwork one could make with it. Thanks for the entertainment, enjoy the videos very much.
Tons of porcelain on the market many in mint condition. They made hundreds of thousands but many were unique and a one-of-a-kind design for the full set. Ahhh, all the full sets are broken up now and pieced out with few wanting full sets like they did just a couple of decades ago as the market shifts so quickly now.
When I was a kid living outside Charlottesville, Va out past Monticello and Ash Lawn back in the 70's early 80's our landlord had over 400 acres and there had been a lot of old houses on the property he tore down. My brother and I used to sit on the big flat rock in our front yard at night in the summertime with the flood light on gluing old plates, coffee cups, serving platters etc. back together from this same time period. Tons of killer old bottles. Found a flat chrome Art Deco Klaxon horn in the dirt sparked a 6 volt battery across it and still got a sad old honk out of it.
Awesome ! I really enjoyed this ! Lots of great finds and stories to go along with them. Super interesting. Keep up the good work and I love this one is an hour and 15 minutes. Lots of fun to watch !!!
I sure love your content and the intimate insight into your adventures! Your narration has got to be some of the best of any channel. I wish you great fortune!
In the last pit just before you found that heavy champagne bottle, there was a very small bottle right in front of you, and you scraped dirt over it to get to that champagne bottle! Slow your roll dude, you might be missing some of the bottles!
As soon as I saw Dr. Shoop in the lower left hand corner, before you even pulled it out of the ground, I knew it was from Racine. I went to school half a mile down the road from Shoop Park. I would love to purchase that bottle.
I wish I had knowledge of digging 50 years ago when I was a kid and lived in a 250 year old house on 40 acres in KY. We were told that at one time the house had 18 rooms. When we owned it there were 3 bd/1 ba, 2 dens and a formal dining.
I get excited over the old bottles, and that pitcher! Wow! But I really get excited when there is an ink bottle find! The only time I found one was at the Goodwill, but not as fancy as the ones you've found.......I LOVE INK BOTTLES; 😂😂
hahah thank you! yeah. sometimes the light puts a glare on the bottle, and you cant see anything.. it drives me crazy. we bought a canopy to put over the pit, and it has helped a lot. thanks for watching
Hi 👋 👋 👋 👋 Tom and jake what a great bottle pit 👌 😀 I was so pleased you found your holy grail beer bottle you definitely deserve that with all the hard work you both put into it 😀 some really old bottles and pretty good nick too 😀 😊 all the best Tom and jake another great video 😊 Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 👏 😀 🇬🇧
I think it would be fun to take some of the sead layer and see if any would grow. Lol to me that would be fun. I lov watching you extract all the bottles and stuff from the pits in the plaines. They always amaze me. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. ❤
Hey guys!! Congratulations on reaching 100k subs!! You guys deserve it. You have the best production in you genre. Can't wait to see what yiu guys do next. Hopefully more watchers give a little so we can see what yiu guys put out with some budget! Come on eveyone, chip in. Lets get these men the budget they deserve!! Sincerely. Lou Los Angeles California.
Id cut the stamp out of all the broken dishes and make a display of them. I really enjoy your videos not just the finding of things , but also your master knowledge of those finds .
I would love to do what you’re doing. It’s a lot of work and interesting finds. I love the blob tops. And any blue glass too. Pretty ink bottle. So cool on the canning jar! The little’s are so stinking cute! Some of the bottles I’ve not seen before. I’m always amazed that the stuff has been buried 90-100 plus years and many pieces survived.
Interesting stuff. I have 2 locations for the old outhouse at my house. You are making me want to dig! Question - Do you sift the dirt pile before you refill the hole? I would think there are quite a few smalls and pieces of broken items you could find if you sift.
yeah that green one was super cool. we spend like 4 hours looking for any information on it... never could, it was written in french. i spent like 2 hours using google translate and came up dry. thanks for watching!
Really like the turn mold blobs. I've dug a few tops and bottoms like that lately marked A B Co. or W.F.S. from Milwaukee on the bottom. Keep it up Tom 👍
I was just gonna say that the little fine toothed comb is for removing head lice- a nit comb. I see fishinwidow beat me to it :) They're still available as far as I know. When I was a kid there was a site on our farm where an old lady had lived alone for years in the early nineteen hundreds. She made borders for her flower beds with dozens of embossed bottles she found, buried half in the ground. We found some beautiful bottles and jars, no digging involved. I envy you being able to stick a probe into the ground- American dirt must be a lot softer than Australian dirt :)
There’s definitely so many coins and relics!! You need to get a hold of a metal detector and swing over the dirt before filling back in…YOU’LL BE AMAZED!!! 🙌🏼😁💯
I'm thinking the fire ball "no not your's or Jake's " a fire extinguisher from my video view, what a fun digs. I'm so proud of you,I just love it. Great day's, be safe, much love. Afriend.
Have you ever dug at 708 W. 8th St? According to the 1900 census, that was the home of my 3 times great uncle, Alvah English. He was mayor of Yankton 4 or 5 times, I believe, but before that, he was in the US Calvary during the "Indian Wars." He built his own home, but I don't believe the house is the same there now.
Tom….love the videos, love the info. I am a bottle digger in the Thumb of Michigan. Wish I could find privies like you do. Have you ever done an institutional video on finding privies ?
Tom you are pleased with simple things it must be wonderful to give you gifts
I know of an old old military fort that turned into a school around the turn of the century I’m going to go check out now!

I'm confused,,,,we never put out trash our outhouse. We had a trash pit for that.
pocket flask is very cool I only saw one before they wanted like 40 bucks for it. still had labels

I enjoy seeing items my Grandparents might have used. Especially my wife’s as they were from the Minneapolis area.

Everything was hand crafted!

Top shelf videos. I especially like the old advertising and company history you add.
😂 I was thinking about Picardi style glasses and you actually pulled one up… wow. you called it a bar glass.
This was a great mid-week treat! Tom, I appreciate your patience in showing us every piece especially when there is another piece waiting that you really want to see what it is!! lol It is appreciated!!! Thank you guys! Take care,,can't wait for the next dig!
This is a great dig, just the age I liked to find when I was digging in San Jose 50 years ago.
Love your vids. Perhaps sometime you could do a somewhat instructional vid going over the different styles, types and manufacturing of bottles from your finds. That would be very interesting.
That round glass ball was a fire extinguisher bulb ✌️

@@BrianCarnevaleB26 I would hate to see intact porcelain being smashed, that’s why I was inquiring about all the pieces that are dug up .
Bits and pieces of broken dishes would make a beautiful counter top project.
@@deniseview4253 That would look fantastic
@@deniseview4253we got a bunch of chipped items from my in laws. We are making a mosaic table. I think its going to be stunning😊

Once I click the play button, there's no stopping until the end.....awesome content.
I love old embossed bottles, I can only imagine what it was like back then. Awesome finds.
So proud of you you know your history in bottles love to here you say all the different bottles names
What a pit! I believe that comb is a nit comb.
For nit Picking :)
Removal of head louse eggs
@@g1stylempdesign929 Aha, good one!
I’m jealous that this is your job… it seems so satisfying… makes me want to dig up my back yard!
What a pit!! Congrats! 👍🏻👍🏻

Loved the jolly rancher bottle lol but the saddle bottle was wonderful..i always adore the tiniest bottles.

@@BelowthePlains I'm envious 😏
Your camera operator is awesome! Can see the bottles and embossing so clearly!! 😊
hahah thank you! yeah. sometimes the light puts a glare on the bottle, and you cant see anything.. it drives me crazy. we bought a canopy to put over the pit, and it has helped a lot. thanks for watching
Around 6:50, a little before that, he says there are seeds which indicates he’s in or near an outhouse. Can someone explain?
I enjoyed watching you! Great job, keep up the good work. If I wasn't 84 years old I'd like your job. God Bless. Jean
I love history and antiques! Your videos are my favorite form of entertainment!

I guarantee nobody ever sat in those outhouses and thought about a day when someone would be digging through their crap looking for their trash 😂
Thumbs up, the stuff you find in great condition for being buried, enjoy all these videos, you could fill a museum
How do you turn these treasures into cash? Do you advertise them or do you send them to auction?

I find those Red Top Rye flasks but they are always amber.
I love that water holder with handle...all those little small pill holders usually had nitroglycerine tablets...for those with heart issues...
Exciting dig. Lots of o wows. LOVE it.
Nice finds, age and veriety!!
Love this stuff!
Thanks for all your research into the people and companies!

All those perfume/cologne bottles make me think you've found the trash pit from a house of ill repute
Wow,great dig. Congrats on the really good bottles.👍😁
Wow I never knew South Dakota had a water way big enough for a steamboat!the territory bottles are really something!❤
Yankton is on the Missouri and I think steamboats went all the way up into central Montana at least to Fort Benton...maybe to Great Falls?
