What is the best thing you’ve found?
Nahh. Not me. I ditched your channel. I found another one to subscribe to.
What do you do with what you find. 😊
Copy that. I’ve subscribed to them.
I just watched some of Detecting Dakota. Great recommend. Thanks!
Have you ever considered making a video showing the items cleaned? It would be a fun and amazing follow-up video.
Thanks for the hard work you put in.
I would have loved to see the German mug cleaned up. 😀
O
first time i watch and thought exactly the same... so part 2 of each video could be cleaning the items found... and also what is done with these.... museum ?
I love how you display the bottle/relic information on screen. It is soo helpful. Thank you I have learned so much from watching your videos. Keep it up. Stay safe
Would also be cool to see a follow up video from each dig. Back light the glass and do a walk through of all the pieces
Agree... and explain what you mean "tool top" for those of us who just started watching. 😊
@birdie5382 or you could do a simple Google search on what tooled top bottles are...
@@birdie5382 ^This!
@@birdie5382It means it was made by hand with a tool and not a machine.👍
I liked the bottle you found from Kistenmachers in Davenport, Iowa. As a young boy in the late 60's I would go downtown in Davenport with my Grandfather and we would visit Kistenmachers. My Grandfather knew them well as he did business with them all his career as a Dr. of Chiropractic at the Forrest park Sanitorium. There were two older ladies who ran the store. I only remember the one. Her name as I knew it was Mrs.Buaha. This brought back some good memories from my early childhood.
Excellent batch!! Excellent work!!! 🤗👏👏👏
Wow. A gold mine. I love those antique bottles. Great find
Love the way you put the details on the video so it can be read as you find it. Great job.
Cool video! My previous house had 10 acres that was subdivided off of an old farm. I hired a guy with a bobcat to help me clear out some old stumps. He dug up what appeared to be an old dump site for the farm and found a few very cool bottles. Two of them were like original Dr. Pepper bottles of sort and the ingredients said it included coca. One of the bottles was mint and the other had a chip in it. I told him he could keep the mint condition bottle and I kept the chipped one because he could have just pocketed both but was honest enough to show them to me. After watching your video I wish we had "explored" more...no telling how much more we would have found!!
It is mind-blowing to me how close that cable was to that treasure trove! I never miss a video.
Boy it would be fun to see a video of your collection
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hi Tom, you have the best job in the world even though you would be an archaeologist's worst nightmare, I find these digs fascinating, the soil is so soft and friable and your knowledge of these artifacts is really extensive and the historical background that you print is so welcome,, thanks.🥰💕👌👍👍💪⛏🧤
That was a fantastic salt glaze pitcher, found intact!
Harkens back to the day when we would dig the old Seattle Dump, circa 1880's-1920's adjacent the Aboreteum, Washington State built the 520 freeway over. You have rekindled my fascination for "digging!" Dig~on!😊👍🐿
Fascinating to watch! Thank you for sharing!
Love what you do I can really DIG IT!!!!
This is fun wish i were digging w you, interesting glass etc history. Thanks Tom from Boston MA🍀
Thanks for watching!
Liked this find a lot. I collect and search for old house hold tins. Been doing it since I was about 9 years old. I'm 65 now. Kinda picky about them. Have to be tins they used on a daily basis. Some of the tins today are kind of cool but I don't open them. My granddaughter is interested in them. She finds them fascinating so I'll pass them on to her when I leave this life for my next journey... Thank you for your show. I'm hooked!😊
I would love to see a video of you cleaning everything and repairing and what happens to everything. Love watching!
And here, I get excited over a 1979 Olympia beer can i found in my backyard.
Cool video!
This guy is one hard worker!
Thank you again for sharing
I've noticed that you're wearing gloves for the last several posts... Glad to see... Good hunting!!! You hit the jackpot!!!
Enjoyed, lots of fun. Love ya much. Afriend.
Great finds especially that stein
I happen to come across one of your videos and decided to watch. To my surprise your videos are awesome. They keep me very interested and setting on the edge of my seat waiting for the next item to come out of the dirt. Thank you for sharing and I shall be watching the rest of your videos. 😂 Have a good one. Excellent dig site!!!
These things are sooo cool. And intact❤❤❤❤❤
This dig is making me drool
This was a GREAT DIG❗❗❗❗❗❗ So many awesome finds.i was so happy for you❤❤❤❤❤❤
GREAT FIND!!!
I love that cobalt blue bottle
Enjoy your videos! I used to work installing underground utilities and would recommend using shoring when digging as deep as shown in the thumbnail. Safety first, don't want to get buried by a pit wall sluffing off.
Yep, fantastic!! All the greats in one place, and intacts were unbelievable!! Thank you!!😍💖
Love that OLD German Beer Stein - You are soooooo Lucky ! All those Odd Shaped Bottles as well ! Treasure Trove !!!!! Tiny Little Girl Doll - how sweet ! Wow - an Intact Stoneware Pitcher as well ! They loved their Ketchup ! You got Your Intact Hock Wine Bottle - Congrats ! That Blue Plate is Stunning ! It was a Perfect LONG Dig ! Many Cheers from Australia !!!!
Very interesting that you would find the Lebenswecker oil bottles. My ancestors were Wendish which came to Texas in 1854. They brought this device with them. You can see it at the Wendish Heritage Museum in Serbin Texas.
Wow, cool !!! Full complete Stein mug 👍🏻💙🙏🏻👊
They must look so much more beautiful washed and displayed.
That beer mug was amazing.. lots of variety in this pit...the doll head was creepy af!!!!!!!!!
this is amazing!!! probably my favorite dig I've watched yet. the dishes and colored bottles in this one were incredible.
I’m always so amazed at how dark the and seemingly easy to dig. . Here in Georgia our dirt is so rusty red due to the iron in the ground. And heavy clay.
The electrical wires thought might prevent you from digging but you managed to get down eight feet deep. Amazed at the beer stein, assorted dinner ware, the blue magnesia bottle and many catsup. Exciting when there is embossing on some and you can date the time frame each for manufactured. And thank goodness for loose soil and no water. Thanks for another great video.
So tonight I'm not feeling very well, I have a bad summer cold and I'm sore and tired from coughing so much. I'm not quite ready to go to sleep, but what can I watch that's interesting and won't tire me out? I know.......😊
Loved the figurine w bonnet
Wow all those blue and white..
Send em to me....:)
Great dig!
Very cool, first time I've ever seen your channel. I like the history you add at the top.
I’m not sure how you got into this, but to go into a backyard, shove some metal rods down, and discover this amazing products is just mind blowing. Maybe these aren’t the most exciting videos on UA-cam but the sure are interesting. I would not think I would spend 52:06 watching someone dig up an apartment backyard. Thank you and your camera person for taking the time and energy to make these videos. The quality of the bottles is amazing and something you don’t see anymore. Not to mention the claims that the sellers of these products made. Of course, since there were opiates in a lot of these products, that would explain why people thought it cured what ailed them!! 😂 What do you do with all the finds you have? There has to be 100’s if not 1000’s. Thank you again.
They also might have a tremendous amount of alcohol. In some cases it was 44%. And nothing says good health like ingesting tar. :) By 1906 the fight was on between the manufacturers of these concoctions making them rich and the govt desire to rescue the nation from the grip of addiction and chronic bad health, while the people handed over tremendous sums to dig their own early grave, which he is today digging up. :)
Not to mention the “Radithor” craze that was made with radioactive Radium that was the marketed as the cure all until people started dying and the entire lower portion of the face and jaw would eat away and fall off.. the story of Eben Byers… it’s crazy what people would do to scam money from people trying to improve their health. In some ways it still happens to a degree.
Awesome finds, some of the coolest stuff I've ever seen you find. No one who knows me would believe how many hours I've spent watching you pull old bottles out of the ground. Decades ago i got a degree in history and i think thats the appeal for me. Some people dig up bones and others dig up glass but its all history. I really appreciate the research information you include in the video's. Thanks for including us in your dig.
That beer stein would totally become my new coffee cup after a thorough cleaning.
Well, I take it that someone in the household had tb but they sure loved the ketchup and wine though. lol Quite a few great finds too. Those glass chimney's and the dishes were nice. Happy digging and have a great day
I'm glad you mentioned that...as a kid. Yes, I remember a lot of folks used their one hole or two a drop spot for discarded items.
This dig produced some exciting in tact and unusual finds, what a treat to see. Broken but still worth seeing was the red plate and the orange transfer piece, never seen orange before, I think it's beautiful. So much was uncovered, loved it all and the tiny perfume bottle with the stopper in, so cute. Thank you for journey.
I love your videos. They're like ultimate unboxing, also soothing and educational.
Tom, one of these times, if not done already, need to share and explain how you know what you know and do what you do …. How you find these places/old maps. I’m certain you are encouraging to young folk to do similar or go into archeology …. 💙💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👊
For elegant dinners back in the 1800's, people would take large scalloped shells like the one you found, and put a cooked piece of seafood in it, usually coated in breadcrumbs.
Beautiful beer stien
Just amazing how much glass each household had. Everything from toothpaste, to cosmetics, to medicine, to food holders, was glass. The second largest manufacturer must have been bandaids and gauze.
😮
You know your stuff!
Dasm, ""that was a intresting dig , colors, amazing, that salt glazed pitcher was really nice, I am still praying you find some rare embossed shoefly whiskeys
That was the pit that kept on giving. Wow
Totally awesome!
It would be awesome if you guys would do a sit down episode where you explain how things get buried and give a general overview of what all happened in those areas (the history of the area) where you dig, your finds and maybe some insight into the history of that era in general.
they would need to be GOOD archeologists ... but from their digs they are just junk diggers ... they dont preserve the location they aint documenting it they aint even trying to put it into context ... they just willy nilly dig everything up and call it done ...
.
they are just grave robbers ... essentially ... watch Time Team learn how real archeologists deal with old finds ... not this grub collector
.
this is an insult to every archeologist out there
That's where people threw their garbage. But a history of the area would be fascinating.
yes!@@Gertyutz
Love watching your digs! Love old things!
One of my favorite digs… love the variety!! Awesome!
The house I lived in was once part of a farm in Seaside, CA. The back patio sunk one year and revealed a cystern that had not been filled, but a concrete slab poured over it which finally cracked in the 1989 earthquake. Also, when digging up the back yard to clear the soil for a vegetable garden, I found layered burn pits with wire, a boot, asbestos shingle pieces, etc. I jokingly said that I hoped not find the carcass of a horse. Near the fence was a 4 foot wide and deep pit of empty booze bottles. Fun to explore your own back yard.
Another amazing video my friends, keep them videos coming. always happy to see a longer video from yall. thanks for taking us along for the ride, I enjoyed this one
Thank you for bringing instant history to us. Definitely 1 of the more interesting subjects on youtube.
Great dig. That salt glazed crock (with intact handle!) was definitely my favorite find in this dig. The painted and transfer ware plates were also a nice added bonus, and even though not intact, they helped paint a more complete picture of the folks once living there.
Amazing hole. Such a variety of items, like a good start to a bottle collection right in one pit! Enjoy the vids.
great dig.
Wow 😮 Tons of beautiful stuff in there!!
Got up late stayed up later, wouldn’t miss my favorite, your amazing! Keep up the good work, always a pleasure.
@Anthonyfedrick
I’m great, heading out to do some landscaping, and you?
Thank you for this! So very interesting to see all the old bottles, etc. What a fabulous find!!
Wish I was 25 again to do this fascinating kind of discoveries, keep the videos coming, hello from 100 degree + Houston, TX.
Awesome jug !!!
Those bottles are awesome! I have a very small collection of older bottles but nothing compared to these! Beautiful!
Love seeing young people wanting to learn about our history. I have some old medicine bottles from a old farm in Lamar Colorado.
Wow 👏👍👍
Amazing dig and finds I love the small sample bottles and the pitcher 😊
Miss Digg! How in earth did you manage to miss cutting that power line? That's talent. My thoughts on the beer Stein, before I saw your notes at the end of the video, were, first, maybe Prohibition? Or maybe WWI was taking the young local men off to fight and be injured or killed, so the family was hiding their German roots to prove their loyalty to their new homeland? (My grandmother's family went through that, they stopped speaking their native German in public). But after I read your end notes I wondered if maybe the husband wasn't an alcoholic and either the wife or one of the kids threw his drinking mug into the privy in the hopes that he wouldn't be able to drink any more. I wouldn't have thought of that until I heard an elderly man talk about his own dad being and alcoholic who always promised to stop drinking, and then he started telling his wife he did stop drinking, but the man who told me the story,, about 9 years old at the time, would go through his dad's business building on the other side of the driveway from the house. He would go in to sweep and do other chores, so it gave him the excuse to find all the cubby holes where his dad would hide his malt liquor. Part of the building was field stone, and he looked for loose stones in the wall. When he found the booze he took it to the trash heap to dump it and smash the bottles. He hoped each time that he'd never find any more. That sad story came to mind when I saw that perfectly usable beer Stein.
I watched a Detecting Dakota post but i must say i prefer your filming method. Cheers.
That dig was absolutely amazing!!
Always enjoy your videos. Crazy what’s under ground thanks from Sc
I love the close up digging!
Another good one guys. 😁
hi , i enjoy your videos , you dig up so much good stuff , my digging days were from 1975 to the 90's , still go out and poke around when its not too hot. i like it better when you use that wooden dowel around the the bottles instead of your trowel or shovel.i cringe a little thinking your gonna scratch the glass. Thanks!
Thank you for another great dig. Cool to see a bottle from my home town of Cincinnati.
you guys better be careful when you are digging! I'd hate it if you guys quit uploading new videos. Thanks for all your hard work over the past year, its been fun watching you channel grow.
Business model adjustment, allow a patron to tag along because this viewer would pay to dig one time as a bucket list item check off. Totally dig the digs, you dig? 😂 seriously love the episodes. I’m all about all artifacts so I cringe sometimes but all in all wonderful content. I see many items I’d buy. Cheers.
thanks for another episode in the outhouse archeology saga!
A veritable bottle bonanza! Congratulations! They must have spent a good portion of their income at the apothecary shop. Thanks. Maybe a vinegar cruet at 47:43?
There probably weren't many Doctors around,all you had was the druggiest and the snake oil man. I think if something was wrong you'd try anything to feel better.
@@claytonsimplot9554 I agree completely. Might you be related to J.R. Simplot? He was a famous man in Idaho.
loving your tanned guns!!
Oh my gosh the German beer mug is amazing. What a good dig.
Great pit! So many unusual things and intact treasures. Watching your videos is the favorite part of my week.
Wonderful pieces congratulations 😊
Wow,great dig! So much awesome things! Thanks for the upload👍🏼
What fabulous finds! Everyone different (almost). Very nice dig. UK.
Hell of a pit!
WOW, this dig was an awesome dig. Great job on the find...🤩
So fast forward to where they find it saves about 45 minutes
I'm from Cedar Rapids Iowa. It sounds cool.
SO INTO WATCHING THAT I WAS ONLY 17 MINUTES LATE TO WORK
