I just love watching these videos. No annoying music, just the soothing sound of the digging and clear descriptions of the finds. I’m watching this in bed and I keep falling to sleep then the phone hits me in the face!!!
I’m sure the last thing the people who filled this hole up thought was that someone would be digging it back up 100 years later. You guys do a great job putting these videos together nice work.
The wooden dowel works better than the metal trowel to work items loose with less damage. And the bog plastic scoop is handy to move dirt out of the hole . Thanks for holding the item still long enough to look at it. And the extra text information is informative. Who would expect excavating a toilet would be so entertaining.
well we use the maps. and they are SUPER accurate.. within a foot of accuracy.. a lot of the times the outhouses down appear on them so what we do is use probe rods and go up and down the lots until we hit something. then we just probe until we find the edges.. we do strike out sometimes tho. and we end up digging into a sewer line or a fence post.. the disturbed ground has a distinct feel to it, and thats what we feel for, but sometimes its just nothing, and we dont really show those.. for every hour we dig, theres another 5 hours of driving, probing, getting it wrong, and filling it back in.. so theres these small windows of extreme fun inbetween a lot of boring, hard work. thanks for watching!!
@@BelowthePlains thank you for that in-depth reply (no pun intended) I would like to know what you do with all of your finds because by now you must have a very envious collection of things. I do hope that your plans include a possible museum of some type? I’m sure there is also a market for these things that you either sell and or trade in?
How come we never get to see your assistant he or she does great camera work, and makes your show a lot better than most, your knowledge about bottles is astounding. Keep up the good work and show us a picture.
haha thats me, jake.. i do all the filming and editing.. idk, i just hate myself being on camera, and i was in a bunch of the earlier videos, but.. idk, i guess i didnt really like seeing myself, and i would end up cutting me out of it, so i just decided to kinda stay out of it, so i wouldnt have to cut things out. thank you tho! im happy behind the camera! ill probably make some appearances in the future. thanks for watching
The light bulbs would indicate they had a Delco generating system. More interesting was the radio tube (Valve) which would have required batteries. That would make one wouder if some of those smaller bottles were battery electrolite (Battery Oil). All the early radios required 2 batteries, one low voltage and another high voltage. The radio battery business was what tied the early radio business to the drug store where they could supply the chemicals for the batteries. Some of those small bottles could be for battery acid..
LOL!!! Good dig! Got a kick out of the radio tubes/valves that came out of some "transistor" radios. Well, buddy, those tubes were in tube radios and a good 50-100 years before the first transistor radio.
That liquor bottle with the water in it had some creepy contents. Love watching your work. I was about eleven years old when I started wandering out to an old farmhouse pit way out in the field next to my friend's house, and every single broken piece of china or whatever survived was a treasure. There's probably still a pile or two I stashed away out in the hedgerows from it fifty years ago. Fun memories. Thanks.
I appreciate these compilation videos, so I don’t have to search around for each part of the series. Never can seem to find them all. Watching them all together like this is much more pleasant, not having to lose the train of thought between the episodes.
Love your channel! I live on an 1840s-era farm near Gettysburg in PA and we are very lucky to have existing original barns and outbuildings, including a "skeletal (wood framing extant)" privy we don't think has been used in a century or more. The wood is so old it's now like Balsa. I want to dig under it, of course, as it's open. Water table's going to be pretty close to the surface so I don't know, it might reek right quick, lol.
Hello Tom, I have a couple of things for you to add to your wealth of knowledge. First, at 47:00 the green dish is called a custard dish. You pour the hot custard in the dish then chill it and the custard thickens. It's a pretty good desert. Second, at 57:30 No such thing as a transistor bulb! All electronics used several Vacuum tubes until the advent of the transistor. When the transistor was invented it replaced vacuum tubes making it possible to shrink a bread box sized radio down small enough to fit in your pocket! Transistors replaced vacuum tubes. Good thing or your cell phone would be ass big as a shoe box and weigh 19 pounds! Love your channel, keep up the good digging! Greg
Still did my theoretical training on radio theory in the early 70's on vacuum tubes, Transistors and the first integrated circuits were still "new". Still to this day believe in electron flow and not "conventional" flow of electricity. Since then electronic technology just when over the top so fast you just could not keep up, keeping the base knowledge in mind. The nanometer scale of IC's now is just ridiculous compared to that bulk, and power hungry stuff.
my house built 1886, one day I looked out the window and in my backyard I seen two guys digging a huge hole past my fence on a lot I had bought the year prior, long story short they were like 3 foot deep and I said this is my property what are you doing? they said looking for bottles, so I said brb and got my metal detector and was excited for what they were finding, unfortunately my better half blew her top and I had to ask them to stop at around 6 foot deep but they had like four milk crates full of old bottles and more they could not get to deeper, you know sometimes you have to keep peace with the better half, that was on that lot, my lot's I was making a test garden for the metal detector and about two and a half foot down I uncovered a perfectly round hole, man made well/cistern made out of limestone, it was eight foot deep and about 6 foot wide, total unreal discovery, I covered the hole back up as to not let the outside elements mess it up, also I believe i have another one as I see a large round dip about fifty foot away for the first discovery, totally unreal.
I can't stop watching these. I'm in the UK where the trash was taken to a dump sometimes trash is six feet deep and covering several football pitches but the best bit about this digging is you can connect to the actual families - its fascinating.
Man, those early Dakotans loved their ketchup! Thank you for your video format. So many “explorers” will raise questions like, “Wonder what this is?” then leave it at that. I really appreciate that while you may not know about something at the time of discovery, you take the time later to do the research and post it on the relevant video frames. Shows you really care about what you do. Those little tidbits of info just enrich the experience further. Keep up the good work.
haha you know.. i always wondered if they dropped it or threw it down.. im sure its a bit of both, but i wonder how much went down by accident.. everytime i find silverware, i think, "oh yeah, that must have slipped out of their hands" but when i find those full crocks, i wonder how that could have falled down, or why would they have thrown it away.. those things are so cool, and so useful. it'd be like us throwing out our tupperware that wasnt damaged.. thanks for watching!
Well Jake it was a pleasant surprise seeing you and your hand modeling in the first of part of the video. It's always a pleasure having young men like you two digging up the past which helps understand how things were going back when. Hoping to see you both in the next video. Keep up the great work. Love you guys . Take care and be safe. Afriend.
Happy Easter ✝️🙏🐇🐣🐰 from New York Thank you for Bringing me Along with you I can't wait to see What you Find Next 😊Have a Happy Healthy and Blessed Easter 🙏
Love this! Wish i could do this in south africa! Ive got a few bottles we doug up at my grandmothers farm in pretoria..dates 1920 to 1950 ..but not neer as old as u got. Still very neat! Id love to see a vid of how u do the whole find of the pit to the zoning of it! That will be so cool! Love u guys!xxx
They say that on all their videos, to attract new viewership maybe. I like the content, very soothing and interesting. But honestly, it's pretty much the same thing on all of them. One time, a bottle exploded and the blonde monotone dude shit in his glove. It was pretty scary but they fared fine. The fun part is when he picks up undigested seeds and food and stuff and reminds us he's digging in poop. Cool stuff!
Maybe it was the tubes for the "transistor radios". Those don't even exist. Ketchup bottles can't be worth much, nor plain wine/beer bottles. Some others might be worth $20 to $40 but still a lot of work for something worth maybe a few hundred. I would do this just for the fun though....
Just started watching your videos and find them very interesting. I was wondering 2 things… what do you do with all the treasures you dig up and who is filming you?
@@tonyajohnson6065 I can answer that, his friend films and helps dig. His name is in the beginning credits. And after they dig them up, they shoot them with BB guns and eat pop tarts. Pretty basic dude stuff. Hope that was helpful.
I love watching your videos. i love how much you know about the bottles and that you also put things about the company, you are truly saving some history. To bad everything is now plastic. I love all your bottles. You truly are awesome thanks for sharing!!!
yeah of course. we get this comment a lot, and we never really thought about adding the finding of the pit to the videos so we never recorded any of that. but yeah, we are planning it out for an upcoming video. might be a few months down the road, but we will probably just incorporate it into a video of an actual dig.and thank you for the kind words!
Still waiting for that "find of a lifetime". Interesting, but disappointing there was not a really big find as indicated. Enjoy your bottle digs and finds.
Brilliant Digging all those Pits - You got any were from 1880's into the 1920's ! Love those early Poison Bottles ! Great Combs ! Some Bottles had partial Labels on them - wow ! That Vacuum Tube is a great Find indeed ! These old Light Bulbs are telling the History ! Pretty Candy Dish Lid ! And some one loved Ketchup indeed ! Lovely Dig - thanks ! Many Cheers from Australia!!!!
I am truly enjoying this haul from Leeds, ND since I grew up there!! Sure is interesting!! So much has changed even since my childhood, 45-50 yrs ago!!
I sure enjoy watching your videos with my morning coffee. I am amazed that there are not more whisky flasks than you find. I would have also thought you would find more tin cans from can goods sold. Of course the canning jars were generally reused.
What a surprise to see you on a Monday, got my coffee and sat back and enjoyed. Brilliant dig, so exciting to see the details on the finds and a partial Blossom Lotion label, hope you were able to preserve it. Thank you so much, great video great finds.
Boy Tom you made a nice haul between those pits. Lots of nice bottles. Never get tired of looking at all of them. Just love old bottles. Those nice brown whiskey bottles are sure are pretty. Cant wait till the next video
I remember having the amber colored prescription bottles when I was young with them eventually changing to plastic, then boxed. Regarding soda bottles, I remember being able to get money back if you took them to a shop. - we would go ask neighbors if they had any that we could get rid of for them. - getting us money 😊😊😊. Should perhaps have glass soda bottles now with the same enticement- money for us then does not mean the same nowadays. Thanks for this - I love it.
It's amazing that some family's lived there you brought back to life by finding the bottles it goes to show what they drunk and what they put on their food really enjoyed watching all the best Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧
yeah, we find a bunch of stuff from that area. it was a huge pottery hub in america about 120 years ago. so we find stuff from a bunch of the towns around the ohio/pennsylvania border. Really sorry about all that train stuff that happened a few months back. even if you no longer live there, theres something deeply depressing about knowing a greedy corporation destroyed the place where you grew up. take care, and thanks for watching
Castoria was not castor oil. It's a laxative for children, a substitute for castor oil, that was patented in 1898 and acquired in 1871 by Charles Henry Fletcher, who rebranded it as “Fletcher's Castoria.” The major ingredient is Senna, a legume with leaves that are a natural laxative.
Moments in time, for sure. Nice to see the memories. (Articles of clothing always creep me out, like desecrating graves...shudder.) Those deep dive shots also make me shiver...that's an UFF DA!
haha thank you! yeah jake actually lives in minnesota, and we are planning on digging there at some point.. we're trying to expand outwards and encompass some more states. but yeah, we definitly plan to get some MN videos in the future. we are right on the MN/ND line, so its super close. probably will hit a spot this summer after we run thru some of the places we were planning on digging. thanks for watching!
@@BelowthePlains I also live in Minnesota,southern,and it would be great to see some digs here. So much knowledge and information. It's so interesting !
Another great dig! That soil was sure different than alot that you dig in. It was almost like it wasn't composted down as much as other pits, which would make sense, since the bottles weren't as old in this pit as most of your others. Just a theory.
I enjoy finding old things like this too I have quite the collection of marbles I found one year in a job. But you really should bench back the hole your crawling around in. It only takes a second to get seriously hurt or buried alive.
Had found a really old dump site, lots of old med. bottles with company names embossed in the glass, lots of old cork bottles, little perfume bottles with metal caps, lots of old brown Purex jugs with round finger grip rings with their metal caps with Purex name in the glass. Everything was going great...until...I dug into a section just a few feet from where I was. Copperheads came out from everywhere. Here I was sitting on the ground. I rolled quickly to the left, got up and took off. They came out mad as heck. I went back home and got a neighbor who is into digging like me. We went back...he took one look and all he could say was "Over there, over here, etc." "But I'm just getting to the really good stuff" I said. "I see that, but we are outnumbered, and we can't dig and watch all 4 directions at once." He kicked an old piece of metal, and out came smaller ones. "Babies !" he yelled...Let's go." We left the site. Later we found out from an elderly lady that we were just feet away from an old well...full of stuff from her great grandmothers old place, and even before her. I hated to leave it all...but then, I had 4 bushel baskets full of goodies, so I was still happy. My favorite bottle was an old thick cork bottle that read " Swamp chill and fever tonic."
I love your videos, makes me want to go digging but I am to old now for that. Do you ever sell any of your bottles? If so is there a link? Thanks from the not as old west coast. 🙂
Of course there's "a lot of dish fragments in the corner', at times you dig with force using an iron tool. How many pieces have you broke using that steel implement? I first dug into the earth searching for relics of the past in the early 70s in Fall River, Ma of all places. What memories watching your channel. I still have many pieces from those earlier days wrapped up in newspaper and stored in boxes. Now I ask myself why? Time to bring them out. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Do you get to keep any of what you find? Do you give the stuff to the owner? Do you put it back into the ground? If you keep ithe items do you sell them? I just found your channel so I apologize in advance if these are already-addressed questions. I love antiques. I'm an antique now haha.
Nothing like playing in the 'night dirt.'
I just love watching these videos. No annoying music, just the soothing sound of the digging and clear descriptions of the finds. I’m watching this in bed and I keep falling to sleep then the phone hits me in the face!!!
I agree !! No carry on. Simple snd honest and peaceful
Ha! I can relate 🙌🏻
There is something addicting about seeing the past dug up before our eyes.
Glass is wonderful.
Our plastics certainly won't be any fun to dig up in future times.
I'm 76 and can remember the mercurochrome bottles with a glass dauber to apply the medicine. Stung like crazy!!
I correct myself....it was merthiolate that stung.....then mercurachrome came along which did not sting as bad!!!
I’m sure the last thing the people who filled this hole up thought was that someone would be digging it back up 100 years later. You guys do a great job putting these videos together nice work.
Thats what i was thinking too.

The light bulbs would indicate they had a Delco generating system. More interesting was the radio tube (Valve) which would have required batteries. That would make one wouder if some of those smaller bottles were battery electrolite (Battery Oil). All the early radios required 2 batteries, one low voltage and another high voltage. The radio battery business was what tied the early radio business to the drug store where they could supply the chemicals for the batteries. Some of those small bottles could be for battery acid..

Love your channel! I live on an 1840s-era farm near Gettysburg in PA and we are very lucky to have existing original barns and outbuildings, including a "skeletal (wood framing extant)" privy we don't think has been used in a century or more.

Hello Tom, I have a couple of things for you to add to your wealth of knowledge. First, at 47:00 the green dish is called a custard dish. You pour the hot custard in the dish then chill it and the custard thickens. It's a pretty good desert. Second, at 57:30 No such thing as a transistor bulb! All electronics used several Vacuum tubes until the advent of the transistor. When the transistor was invented it replaced vacuum tubes making it possible to shrink a bread box sized radio down small enough to fit in your pocket! Transistors replaced vacuum tubes. Good thing or your cell phone would be ass big as a shoe box and weigh 19 pounds! Love your channel, keep up the good digging! Greg
Vacuum tubes and light bulbs with the nipple on top are very early. That tube could be worth something.
Still did my theoretical training on radio theory in the early 70's on vacuum tubes, Transistors and the first integrated circuits were still "new". Still to this day believe in electron flow and not "conventional" flow of electricity. Since then electronic technology just when over the top so fast you just could not keep up, keeping the base knowledge in mind. The nanometer scale of IC's now is just ridiculous compared to that bulk, and power hungry stuff.
my house built 1886, one day I looked out the window and in my backyard I seen two guys digging a huge hole past my fence on a lot I had bought the year prior, long story short they were like 3 foot deep and I said this is my property what are you doing? they said looking for bottles, so I said brb and got my metal detector and was excited for what they were finding, unfortunately my better half blew her top and I had to ask them to stop at around 6 foot deep but they had like four milk crates full of old bottles and more they could not get to deeper, you know sometimes you have to keep peace with the better half, that was on that lot, my lot's I was making a test garden for the metal detector and about two and a half foot down I uncovered a perfectly round hole, man made well/cistern made out of limestone, it was eight foot deep and about 6 foot wide, total unreal discovery, I covered the hole back up as to not let the outside elements mess it up, also I believe i have another one as I see a large round dip about fifty foot away for the first discovery, totally unreal.

Moments in time, for sure. Nice to see the memories. (Articles of clothing always creep me out, like desecrating graves...shudder.) Those deep dive shots also make me shiver...that's an UFF DA!
Awesome dig guy’s with some great finds, take care and thank you for sharing and the history too👍👏❤️
Im a new subscriber . Im just fascinated by your amount of knowledge. You make me want to go dig something lol. Thanks for the video
Love your videos! Please come to Minnesota. I would love to see what’s in the privys in Mendota where it all started!
haha thank you! yeah jake actually lives in minnesota, and we are planning on digging there at some point.. we're trying to expand outwards and encompass some more states. but yeah, we definitly plan to get some MN videos in the future. we are right on the MN/ND line, so its super close. probably will hit a spot this summer after we run thru some of the places we were planning on digging. thanks for watching!
@@BelowthePlains I also live in Minnesota,southern,and it would be great to see some digs here. So much knowledge and information. It's so interesting !
@BelowthePlains Come to the east coast.stuff from the 1600's here about...😉
Another great dig! That soil was sure different than alot that you dig in. It was almost like it wasn't composted down as much as other pits, which would make sense, since the bottles weren't as old in this pit as most of your others. Just a theory.
You have a raree. scence of humor. You make me laugh. You work so hard. But do find some great items. Stay safe,
Enjoyed these 3 so much, enjoy seeing the differences in shapes over the years. Ketchup day!!😁😁😁❤❤❤
Excellent artifacts! I enjoy these diggings!
I enjoy finding old things like this too I have quite the collection of marbles I found one year in a job.
But you really should bench back the hole your crawling around in. It only takes a second to get seriously hurt or buried alive.
New subscriber… this is cool. Who knew so much was thrown down the hole!😂
It's remarkable on how we don't even think about how much history we walk on everyday!!
That radio tube maybe an RCA from the 1920's. Man you are one clever dingo. :)
Don't often say much but i enjoy your videos gr8 job on this video tip my hat to you and your crew
thank you! we really appreciate that! and thanks for watching and leaving us a comment!!!
My bruddah… if I’m digging a hole and I start finding clothes, I’m dipping. Coming across a body doing this stuff would be horrible. 😱😂😂
It's like a time capsule 😂 I should go back to Nebraska a dig my great grandparents homes, that would be awesome 😊
Had found a really old dump site, lots of old med. bottles with company names embossed in the glass, lots of old cork bottles, little perfume bottles with metal caps, lots of old brown Purex jugs with round finger grip rings with their metal caps with Purex name in the glass. Everything was going great...until...I dug into a section just a few feet from where I was. Copperheads came out from everywhere. Here I was sitting on the ground. I rolled quickly to the left, got up and took off. They came out mad as heck. I went back home and got a neighbor who is into digging like me. We went back...he took one look and all he could say was "Over there, over here, etc." "But I'm just getting to the really good stuff" I said. "I see that, but we are outnumbered, and we can't dig and watch all 4 directions at once." He kicked an old piece of metal, and out came smaller ones. "Babies !" he yelled...Let's go." We left the site. Later we found out from an elderly lady that we were just feet away from an old well...full of stuff from her great grandmothers old place, and even before her. I hated to leave it all...but then, I had 4 bushel baskets full of goodies, so I was still happy. My favorite bottle was an old thick cork bottle that read " Swamp chill and fever tonic."
It would be interesting to add the process of locating the pits!
Plz do a video of the after life of these items and how you displayed them...love your work.
It is just so awesome and cool the digs, the finds, the knowledge. Thanks for sharing 💙👊
The green Hall crock is like one my great great grandmother used for butter. Hers had a lid.
good hunting, love to watch
nice job guys, I didnt realize those videos were all on the same lot
So sad that everything's made out of plastic in the future that is all fine.
Enjoying your channel so much
Loved this lot !!
I love your videos, makes me want to go digging but I am to old now for that. Do you ever sell any of your bottles? If so is there a link? Thanks from the not as old west coast. 🙂
This was such an awesome video...thanks for sharing your finds....
Good job guys
thanks
Love the music in your videos
amazing video thank you!
Thank You!
Of course there's "a lot of dish fragments in the corner', at times you dig with force using an iron tool. How many pieces have you broke using that steel implement? I first dug into the earth searching for relics of the past in the early 70s in Fall River, Ma of all places. What memories watching your channel. I still have many pieces from those earlier days wrapped up in newspaper and stored in boxes. Now I ask myself why? Time to bring them out. Thanks for sharing your videos.
some nice finds well done 🎉
I would love to see how yall get the bottles cleaned up , manily on the in side .thanks.
Do you get to keep any of what you find? Do you give the stuff to the owner? Do you put it back into the ground? If you keep ithe items do you sell them? I just found your channel so I apologize in advance if these are already-addressed questions. I love antiques. I'm an antique now haha.
