- It’s safe to say that this was one of the most challenging privies I’ve ever done- and my 3rd largest ever overall! The dig took place during the summer of 2021 in York, Pa. with artifacts ranging in age from 1960 to 1885 or so.
Stay tuned for more artifact adventures coming soon, and please subscribe to follow along! #privydigging #artifacts #treasure #excavation #digging #yellowlab #college
I was so blown away at the condition if the bottles and how many were whole just beautiful history came out of that enormous hole
Wow! Great York history. Have old beer bottles. Pappy made homemade beer, bottle caper and all. Plitt, Coca-Cola bottling plant, york peppermint patty, to name a few.
Love the bottles, great inkwell and medicine bottles. Great job on the dig.
I didn’t realize the privy was inside the carriage house, but it makes sense.
Nice job excavation of the dog 👋👍
Thank you! It’s the first privy pit I’ve ever dug that was originally designed and placed inside of a standing structure. Something you don’t see often.👍⛏
Looks like you found a couple of light bulbs too. Always fun to find those intact considering how fragile they are.
Just to be clear-the reason that I subscribed is 60% because of the Labrador... hehe
First video for me. Well done!
Awesome determination and experience. Thanks for documenting the dig. Great video. 👍
Jim Skelly was one of my best historical flask buyers. 💪😎
Awesome historical area. Absolutely love history. Looking at the structure takes me back to when it was new and thriving. What a awesome view into yesteryear.
Thank you! It was a unique site to dig. First time I’ve ever dug a privy under a structure vs out behind it.😂😁
Harry, brother man great dig, superb editing job. Love the history, you ever need any help I’d love to get together for a dig. I commend you on a 14fter solo that was very awesome how you navigated each situation and figured out how to reach bottom. Looking forward to seeing your future digs brother man.
That would be great to dig together sometime! I got plenty of spots- I’ll message you soon on FB.👍⛏
I live in an old carriage house that now has 5 condos. It is a miniature of the mansion it served, also now condos. Nice video.
Wow that’s a truck load of bottles ! You dig some great sites ! 👍🏻👍🏻💯💯
Thanks! That site definitely had a lot of bottles! I’ll have more sites to show and share this year, with a new 4 legged dig buddy in tow.😉👍🐾⛏
Had to subscribe this was really interesting 👍
Refill Chute: Super DIY solution! You could easily expand on this idea!
Great!
That was awesome
Thank you!👍⛏
Exceptionally interesting and well done
Thank you! I’ll have more videos up soon, and more regularly as well.👍⛏
Good job. Thanks
Thank you!
I like to put empty Gatorade bottles at the bottom then layer the shards as I'm refilling! 🤣 P.S. As a consolation,you can always place a note inside of said Gatorade bottle listing all the cool bottles you found! 👍
Awesome dig and finds! Very high quality video production as well. Subbed ya!
Thank you!👍⛏
The marble looks like a Peltier golden dragon. 1920's.
That's a lot of material you moved. . .I have one of those Free's Whisky bottles in my collection.
Thanks! I have yet to dig an intact Free’s Whiskey locally- but time will tell!😁
Loved to see the teeny tiny vial the size of a quarter! I wonder if that was for smelling salts worn around the neck?
well done on the finds
Thank you!👍⛏
New sub here. Really enjoy watching digs in local privys. My great grandparents came from the York area so this was interesting. Wondering if you pulled anything from Hanover Pa out of that privy? Thanks so much for the great adventure, God bless brother!!
Thank you! I pull a lot of stuff from Hanover and Harrisburg from sites around York.
New subscriber. Love your hobby and the finds you make. Do you ever go metal detecting?
I don’t do any metal detecting- just digging of sites.👍
Honestly, I came to see what the skeleton in the thumbnail was.
The skeleton was of a dog.👍🐾
IS THAT A CAVE?
What is the time frame where you should be wearing special respiratory gear when digging in an old human waste privy site?
On average 60-70 years till the bacteria and diseases die off in a privy. Everything I did is usually 120 years old or more.👍⛏
Great video!
Not a single coin?
No coins.👍
no beer cans in that one?
Nope- no cans at all remarkably. Just rusty shells of food cans.
No gold?
I wish!😆😁⛏

Those college girls really liked there alcohols 😂🤣
lol! That was the deans privy- liked booze and milk apparently.😂⛏
@@theglassdigtective I'm sure it was purely medicinal lol
I'm not trying to sound funny or be gross but was most of that dirt down in there poop and at any time did any of it stink? And did you see actual poop chunks. I know that's a super weird question but you know most of us are thinking it lolol
Can you still get a disease digging those antique privys?
No pathogens as long as the privy hasn’t been used in 60 or more years. That’s the only guarantee you have to avoid diseases.
@@theglassdigtective Thanks I was just wondering about that
You like digging in shit mate. Lol. Have a good one. 👍 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Lol! I like digging in dirt that was shit to be specific.😂 Never tried a fresh pit- and hope to never.😆😁⛏
You should come and do a dig in the U.K. proper historical stuff, not this modern rubbish...
Bottle digging appears to be all the rage. Maybe folks looking for some dough out of this old history we are so quick to sell.
