That is the best dump I ever saw with the most amazing bottles I've ever seen dug. I can't believe how deep you guys dig but it pays off to find old vintage valuable highly collectible bottles. Congrats.
I love your channel man...... I’m also in Alabama, north east to be exact..... and love digging.... I own the property that belonged to the first sheriff of my county..... and as far as I know has never been dug!!!!!
This is so cool! I've found bottles laying in the creek on my grandparent's farm, and this is inspiring me to go dig out there and see what I can find. Finding those bottles is the best feeling in the world, I would love to meet you guys, but I am in Texas and there is probably no way. I love this video so much, it is so cool!!! Thank you for sharing
Wow! Congrats on that bucket-lister! Beautiful Hutch. And what a haul! So much great stuff in there-the straight-sided Pepsi, the poisons-looking forward to seeing more.
I have apparently lived a sheltered life I'm 56 and have never heard if bottle digging but I watched you guys and now it's all I practically watch. Love your videos
Brandon - if you ever find a Phoenix Bottling Co. "Hutch" bottle [with a "T" for Arizona Territory], I will pay well for it! The odds against finding an Arizona bottle in Alabama are beyond imagining, but you guys have me fired up! I know the location of some old townsites in the Arizona desert. I'm going to find where the dumps were located and start digging!
Hello! I am a Japanese bottle digger. It is a very deep hole, but there are many attractive things that come out of the bottle, so it's a fun video to watch!
I wanted to hear what you had to say about Ball jars having a number 13 on the bottom but you got cut off and disturbed with that cave-in that happened. It's amazing how deep you guys dig in that dump. My dumps I dig 4 or 5 feet at the most and I hit bottom. You guys made a fortune from that dump.
Hey guys. Wow, they are big mole holes!!! You all dig some amazing bottles up. You might need a bigger display cabinet! Don’t forget the ladder next time though! 😜Take care, GL&HH. Deano.
I dug my first tooled top Hires right here, near my house. I've found the macine ones over in Waipahu. Too many machine bottles there, but not yet pyroglazed. Found some good stuff sifting, Dimes and a Duke Kahanamoku watch fob. Some of my best bottles I found waist deep in the West Loch of Pearl Harbor, a cracked Aiea soda works hutch, said to be a $2000- bottle? I don't think so, but it was my last hutch 2010-16 when I found four here in Waianae. Put together 95% of a Hawaiian amber HI. Found my oldest coin, 1872 quarter, worn out when lost c1900. Later found a Pantheon Saloon token, no S counterstamp, so pre 1900, when Jim Dodd died and his son in law, S.I. Shaw took over. Last bottle last year, c1915 ABM Waialua soda Works slugplate. Mint and not for sale.
Yeah once you find some good glass, especially from the 19th century, you’ll be hooked. I started detecting and switched to bottle digging about 5 years ago, I haven’t picked up my detector since. Lol.. I mean I’ll use it to find a old farm dump while looking in my area east of Cincinnati every now and then. I usually dig privys and cisterns in the city though. I’ve dug some nice glass, including stoneware, china, pipes, marbles etc etc..over the last several years. When I first started I was digging around in what I call 50s dumps, which range from the 1940s into the 1960s. You won’t find much in those, regarding bottles, there all mass produced crap. I have found a lot of cool nic nacs in the 50s dumps, toys, brass nic nacs and a few pre-64 silver quarters and dimes. I’m trying to dig pontil aged privys now, but damn it’s tough, being that the majority of them have been dug already, at least the easy ones. But I’m still happy when finding a stuffed privy from the 1870s to 1910ish. That and there’s always cisterns that are stuffed, some I’ve only had to dig down a foot before hitting ash and glass. A lot of the older guys who dug up all the easy pits back in the 1980s/90s, especially the pontil pits wouldn’t touch the cisterns. I call them bottle snobs.lol But hey, that’s all good for me. Because I’ve dug hundreds of blown/BIM bottles and stoneware etc from the cisterns. You’re in Ohio, so you should do good. Guys west of the Mississippi have it hard when trying to locate BIM or pontil bottles, unless they’re in San Fran or near some old mines etc. The guys east are sitting on a gold mine, especially in the New England area, and down the coast. They are able to find massive dumps and privys with pontil bottles pretty easy compared to us. It makes a huge difference, just being a state away, wether it’s east or west. Pennsylvania diggers do better it compared to Ohio diggers, regarding pontil glass, and they are next door. It’s just the timing of the population movement going west back then and when they stoped using the pontil method in the 1860s/ civil war era. There’s just a lot more there than there is here. But again, we are still in a pretty good state, so I can’t complain.
In Maryland, there is a farm right by my house and I go down near the creek and I find a lot of old coke bottles and Pepsi’s! I have never seen old Buggles like the ones you find! You got my subscribe!
Incredible dig! We had a blast. That Indian was unbelievable. We can’t wait to get back and do it again. I’m gonna put you on some civil war action when you pass through Louisiana! Awesome vid. Looking forward to the next one!
What a great day you all had. I love the Pepsi bottle, that’s my drink of choice. Do you still have that cool bottle or did you sell it for the $500.00?? I love to see them all cleaned up, so pretty.
I knew an ol' timer who picked up a used dishwasher at a garage sale, hooked it up to his garden hose in the front yard, ran electricity to it and washed his bottles that way. Stayed married and it really worked well. I'm sure you have a cleaning apparatus such as this.
Damn congrats not Hutch man that thing is gorgeous beautiful pictorial Hutch Love the Indian on it you guys are pulling some good stuff out of there for sure what's the chances of pulling a Bessemer Coca-Cola hutch out of there you never know good job guys good luck happy huntin
Hopefully it will never happen but there is always risk! I have been doing this for over 10 years and have never had it happen but we usually take precautions that arent shown in the videos.
A while back after not looking for old bottles cause I wasn’t finding the kind I was looking for, I was crossing the street to my house and I passed the electrical wire pole and stepped on something brown and I looked down and started to pull it out of the ground only to find out it is a 1908 Lysol bottle
recent sub here watch all of your videos all the time love the bottles god wish i had a place like that around here to go to but any way very nice channel and videos look forward to your next video have a wonderful day keep up the good work i collect old soda bottles but i have nothing compared to what you find. OK happy hunting so glad i subbed to your channel oh and im Tracy from finding goodies
Tell me guys - ive watched quite a few bottle digging vids from various people in the USA and you all dig only with spades and maybe a small hand scrapper, can you tell me why you never use full size garden forks?? Honestly it would transform your digging experiences, every single time. Im from Englend by the way
@@adventurearchaeology Ah, ok. yes I can see the ground is often dry and hard because of that. God its so hard digging with just a shovel though, especially on the knee joint and the hands. Awesome tip here compared to the other posts i see from elsewhere in the States, that quite honestly do nothing for me
Amazing lads me and my 10year old son has just started bottle digging. Found a few nothing amazing like yours keep up the good work and some great finds to just subscribed to your channel we do magnet fishing bottle digging metal detecting just started metal detecting. Would you like us to share your channel on our UK Facebook page
@@adventurearchaeology GOOD MEN LOL, Thanx for getting back to me...I'm In maine, I have a bottle dump that runs 600 ft along the road, not that old, Lots of ponds creem milk glass, and broken stuff, Found a Full Ball Jar , Under a root Bail rusted off, But have the glass cap as well...... No $$ But keeps me busy....
I found a ball and that said Pat. July 14, 1908. Any idea when it's from? You may say 1908 but the date doesn't mean the year it was made. Like a 1915 coke was made until December 25, 1923 when the new Christmas coke came out.
Hey man if y’all are digging in Bama I’m in the 256 but willing to travel. Been digging and detecting for 10 years and was a club founder at one point. Would love to dig with y’all Holler at me
Man I love this, as a kid my parents and I would dig an old city dump, now a junk yard and find all kinds of stuff.. How far are you from NC, we have so many locations... damn I didn't know I had to go that deep. I'd love to talk more... all those sites filled in dumps? And when do you know you need to go that deep?
Probably around 7 or 8 hours away. My best advice would be to use a probe and listen for glass! That will be really the only way to tell without digging until there is no sign of glass!
You guys need to screen the dirt, find the jewelry, coins & tokens. I make & advertise for sale in AB&GC magazine. Oak & Stainless 1/4" screen, c14x22" . These are made with ten years experience as a chronic screener. "A Hutch showin' what a great phrase!
@@adventurearchaeology Thanks for quick reply. I have started digging in the UK but never that deep. I'm amazed they covered them 10ft + deep. Very enjoyable to watch. Thanks.
That is the best dump I ever saw with the most amazing bottles I've ever seen dug. I can't believe how deep you guys dig but it pays off to find old vintage valuable highly collectible bottles. Congrats.
Some of the most beautiful bottles in this video!
Wow, this was a great hunt! You guys have made me appreciate bottle digging on a whole other level. Nice digs and congrats on your great find!
Looks mighty dangerous down there with no reinforcements
Jimmy Mcdonald an old guy in the uk recently got trapped by a cave in, lucky for him there were other people to dig him out...
I love your channel man...... I’m also in Alabama, north east to be exact..... and love digging.... I own the property that belonged to the first sheriff of my county..... and as far as I know has never been dug!!!!!

Fantastic dig but scary cave in. Congrats on the Indian hutch.
Diggin With Deej I appreciate it! People dont realize how dangerous it can be for sure!
I was digging today I was lucky enough to pull out a 1920s bottle out
I happened to be medal detecting when finding an Abraham animal bait bottle for a fox from 1909 I was pretty excited
great finds!
England is the place for digging but well done lads love it
There is definitely much older stuff there! I hope to one day go dig there!
I am definitely into detecting but this bottle hunting looks like a lot of fun also good luck fellas from Toledo ohio
Yeah once you find some good glass, especially from the 19th century, you’ll be hooked. I started detecting and switched to bottle digging about 5 years ago, I haven’t picked up my detector since. Lol.. I mean I’ll use it to find a old farm dump while looking in my area east of Cincinnati every now and then.

You’re in Ohio, so you should do good.

What a great day you all had. I love the Pepsi bottle, that’s my drink of choice. Do you still have that cool bottle or did you sell it for the $500.00?? I love to see them all cleaned up, so pretty.
I've dug the tooled & ABM Hires here. Newbros Herpicide is often broken.

925inder Thanks! Im super excited!
So wish we had bottle dumps here in California, it would be so fun to do!
You probably got em somewhere, if ya got gold rush towns or Victorian houses have a look underneath the out houses !
do you leave these holes like this when you leave?
i sure hope not!
That Rubyfoam Bottle was a pain killer topical for tooth aches ! I found a mini me sampler of same bottle.
great stuff!
You " Southern Guys" crack me up!
man I would love to come out and dig sometime
Great finds guys
Randy s Lewallen Thanks this was just the first day of a 2 day dig! Haha
Pop's here. You need hand trimmers to cut those roots.
I hate getting cut by glass while digging bottles too. wrap it up and keep going !
Damn congrats not Hutch man that thing is gorgeous beautiful pictorial Hutch Love the Indian on it you guys are pulling some good stuff out of there for sure what's the chances of pulling a Bessemer Coca-Cola hutch out of there you never know good job guys good luck happy huntin
Jay Diggz Chances are thin but theres always a chance! After finding that hutch anything is possible!
I know a good old dump but can't dig there. My friend pulled a lot of 1876 flasks out of it when they dug up the street to replace pipes.
Nice finds over there!
Here in the Netherlands, (Europa) we have dug-outs( german and Amerikanen w.w.2), sometimes i found medical bottles , after cleaning its as new!
I bet you find some amazing artifacts over there!
damned boys.. you don't know how jealous I am. Nice dump
Killer dig guys!!! That Lafayette Ga bottle is close to where I live. If they want to sell it let me know
Tip Young Thanks and I sure will!
Super cool
What y’all gunna do when one of those side walls caves in on y’all. One cubic yard of dirt weighs 2,000 lbs.
Hopefully it will never happen but there is always risk! I have been doing this for over 10 years and have never had it happen but we usually take precautions that arent shown in the videos.
Adventure Archaeology Good deal. So what we’re all those bottles doing in that one area?
welderhelper79 in this case he was digging in an old bottle/trash dump.

Other than a bottle what’s the coolest antique you dug up or found in a creek?
Porcelain signs are always fun!
You probably know by now, Virginia Dare was a winery in Cucamonga, California.
Great hutch......
Hi lads the bottle tip doesn't look old enough, it looks 1930s, needs to be 1910 or before.

Would love to dig with y’all
Holler at me
Am I allowed to go to a random island and just start digging a deep hole??
How do you decide where to dig? Do you focus on old homestead sites,or what?
I'd like to see these rare bottles cleaned up.
A lot of these were shown in my year end wrap up video.

Excellent video. How to the bottles end up so deep? Back-filled dumps?
Thats exactly right! Just dumps that have been covered over!
@@adventurearchaeology Thanks for quick reply. I have started digging in the UK but never that deep. I'm amazed they covered them 10ft + deep. Very enjoyable to watch. Thanks.
Thats some very unsafe diggin guys!
Just out of curiosity how do you guys find your spots of these old bottles like this?
George Motz I have a video that explains. Its one of my first videos I made if you want to take a look.
Are their that much of a market for Bottles
