No way in Hell do you fill in a hole like that! Way too many times the owners said no when I came back or even dug the hole while we were gone! That puce bottle looks like Stoddard glass!
Ah know it !! No choice, as it was getting dark and hole was concrete-hard. We would’ve broken stuff for sure if we had stayed. And barney Bob had to go get stitches !!
Ridiculous! Botts sticking out and fill??? No f-ing way dude! I'd dig all night until every bott is saved. You know something is going to keep you from coming back. Super funny when you said you feel no pain when the botts a flowing. It's so true!! 🤣
Brothel Ned, this may be your finest bot extraction extravaganza ever! Why leave when the sun sets? Drive to the local inconvenience store, buy a cheapola flashlight and strap it to your hat!! WTFF? 😂
This particular hole was rock hard dry clay so if you add digging in the lame dark to the mix, your chances of breaking something in the layer go waaay up !
At 19:35 we dug something very similar from around the same time period and also from a definite saloon privy! Interesting. Oddly enough, we found ours at the same time-stamp on our video at the 19:30 mark as well LOL 🤣🤣
The quest for the bott is a spiritual quest and can therefore become supernatural at times ! I’m not even surprised !! I’ve seen so many weird phenomena doing this it’s crazy !!
Because of poor diet. They sh!+ bricks and broke everything. The ink and cylinder were really good. Same with the buttons. I love the history Ned! It's great to learn new things. Nah don't fake it. You always pull out slow and gentle.
Latest finding - selenium changed for manganese in WW I (manganese glows lime green, while selenium glows pink). Most people believe red and scarlet glass is gold glass, but new findings is that a tiny amount of selenium makes clear glass, while greater proportions makes pink, selenium ruby, dark red amber (iron, coal and selenium) and dark red black (iron and selenium). These would appear to be seleniums.
Manganese dioxide (used to clear glass) came from Germany so during ww1 they had to switch to Selenium. The Manganese reacts with UV rays from the sun turning it from clear-purple. Selenium turns a light yellow colour
Hello 👋 from New York you Guy's Found Some Amazing Finds my Favorite Definitely Was the Red colored Medicine Bottle Thank you for Bringing me Along with you Guy's I can't wait to see What you Find Next Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎅 🤶🎄🎁⛄️🦌☃️
Love your vids! I’ve been binge watching them haha I’m from the East Coast. I would love to visit out west and go on a dig with you lol you seem like a blast to dig with haha thanks for sharing your adventures!!
Those laundry rollers were called a "Mangle". I found a figurine of a black man holding a watermelon. He is made of China and broke off something. The site dates are 1879-1915. Just back from a bottle hunt, test driving a new probe. Found a few frags here & there, but there's gotta be a dump nearby. At 'Iwilei '09-'10 I did a bonehead move, and removed my Left pointer fingerprint. Dug a small cave and a round Whittemore's was on the roof of the cave. It looked loose, and I put my finger in. Instead it separated and sheared some skin off. I carry a first aid pouch, and treated it, and kept on, re-dressing it every other day. It's healed, and has a scar patch w/ no fingerprint. That layer is begging to be attacked with a carving fork, one of my top digging tools. I had a good prewar ones, now I have a "USA 1971" one, Army mess hall? Great tools when you have a busy face.
I hate it when you have to do a PART 2, but I have to admit PART 1 was pretty good - some nice bots - I especially liked the red, long necked, huge lipped bottle and of course since I am near Philly - the decapitated Philadelphia Bottle Works bottle. Happy Holidays!
Well done, I enjoyed seeing you getting a few keepers this time unlike the last video. Didn't care to see the bloodsport, but I spose' when you're in a manly hole, the gloves are off...
Those Burgermeisters were drunk by those 1970s diggers. Another 50 years, and later bottle diggers will curse you for ABDs and having 2022 beer bottles (and cans) in their dig zones ...
Love all the history Ned. That tarantula sure was aggressive, it wanted a piece of you. I can't believe how many beautiful broken rectangular botts there were and they were beautifully crude. The spice bottle were very sweet too, especially the fire aqua. Interested in selling it Ned or a light aqua one? Merry Christmas and Happy New Years Ned.
Hi Deb ! aren’t those spices pretty shapes ? Yes, you can always email me through Patreon and I’ll give you a big discount since you’re one of my patrons, and I thank you again for that! And merry Christmas !
Great videos, I cant wait to get back digging in my 1800s farm, an old timer told me the place use to be a farmers co-op? whatever that really means??? Im thinking it means there should be allot of buried stuffs.
Hello, I subscribed today after watching your videos for the last few weeks and thoroughly enjoying them. I live in Nebraska and am a serious metal detectorist for past 12 years. Last week I dug my first bottle dump circa 1900 in an old Iowa town. Dug over 70 bottles. If I sent you a photo of a " bott " I bought 20 years ago, would you help me ID it ?

Ned, seems you put alot of work and time in your videos, and the bottles you recover are the oldest of any Ive seen UA-cam , I enjoy your videos, keep on digging. But strange you don't have more followers.
I know right ? I have no marketing and publicity going into this. Unlike middle America, in many western states, less journalists and ppl give a crap about history, so less news stories about it here, which have given other channels a big boost in the past. Thanks for your support !
Seriously right !?! Need more women in the hobby in general...at least where I am. Hell, we need more people ! Too many kids growing up w their phones not playing in the dirt these days, or they’re taught that our history is evil or some such stupid shit lol
YOu get an 1860,s hole and dig with a iron pry bar? WTH"" dig with a pool que or a deer antler, and if the ground is hard dump some water in it and let it soften up , epic shards comming out of that hole , amazing
Could have been dug in the 60s or 70s. We didn't save slicks or slick whiskeys and I heard early diggers didn't bother with blob top beers or common bimal meds......just saying.
Valid question ! That spice was locked in with tight clay and broken plates and would’ve taken time and sunlight to extract without damaging it so better to come back with full daylight. But if it were a bitters or something I definitely would’ve spent the extra time trying to get it out !!
Please Ned, please! Part 2….part 2. Loved it.
It’s coming ! Right after my Christmas special episode ! And it won’t disappoint - I swear !!!

Some lovely old bottles well recovered
Love your work, greetings from down under.
Watching something else see bottle ned dropped a video and yep I'd rather watch that 😁
I just call him Bott Ned now
Ridiculous! Botts sticking out and fill??? No f-ing way dude! I'd dig all night until every bott is saved.

Dude that little puce bottle is badass!!
Should of got the torches out, Love that flared liped bott looking forward to part 2 Ned.

Awesome soda's!💟
those were some large Man Handler meals if they were sh*tting bricks in the privvies ...
Saving those beautiful old bottles from the excavator is a righteous thing. Save them all!
It’s amazing how many are destroyed by them. But I have saved a lot too !! Thank you
WOW...nice pit! looking forward to part 2!
Some nice stuff in there Ned, looking forward to seeing what else in in there.
Love the History you give
Love your vids! I’ve been binge watching them haha I’m from the East Coast. I would love to visit out west and go on a dig with you lol you seem like a blast to dig with haha thanks for sharing your adventures!!

Hello 👋 from New York I just wanted to say Have a merry Christmas and s Happy New Year 🎅🤶🎄🎁☃️🦌⛄️
A few awesome whole bottles I hope they are worth a lot, you all deserve something for all the time you spend. Hope the second part is soon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I laughed I cried.
I give it one man sitting straight up in theater chair
The chronicle cartoon movie guy !! Miss that little dude...
Was that bot pirates ☠️ or but but pirates?? 😆
Don't go! Dam it man!

Need to soak that finger in cider 😉
I dug in the 70’s.Western Whiskeys/ beers/Sodas…. Eat your gold dust whiskey heart out
Arghhh what I wouldn’t give to be digging back then...!
Strange metal object..... um maybe some kinda bag seal/product seal of some kind.
Great videos, I cant wait to get back digging in my 1800s farm, an old timer told me the place use to be a farmers co-op? whatever that really means??? Im thinking it means there should be allot of buried stuffs.

Time to take all those old bots (and do like the NY and Alabama diggers do) cut them and make into drinking glasses and sell them for goodly price !
I would never disrespect the bott like that ! But I have made glasses from the broken ones !!
Wow, what a dig!! Probably one of your best videos yet. Get some female bot diggers for Christ sakes!
Seriously right !?! Need more women in the hobby in general...at least where I am. Hell, we need more people ! Too many kids growing up w their phones not playing in the dirt these days, or they’re taught that our history is evil or some such stupid shit lol
They didn't get everything in the 70s. I dug a site in Atlanta GA thought to be dug out and I dug a embossed hutch.
Yeah ! They were rookied-out back then! But had more time and were passionate for sure
That amber puce flared lip looks suspiciously like a Euro toilet or perfume/cologne...
What is the faint embossing? An eye?
No embossing - just crude texture! I agree! I’m like 50/50 on whether it’s euro or American
YOu get an 1860,s hole and dig with a iron pry bar? WTH"" dig with a pool que or a deer antler, and if the ground is hard dump some water in it and let it soften up , epic shards comming out of that hole , amazing
I bought a dandelion fork the next day - that pry bar is no bueno !!
Bob needs to soak that finger in cider😉
Should have just covered it over rather than filled it in. Good age, early bitters,sarsaparilla and gin age 🤙
Owner didn’t want it covered w plywood or something...we asked !!
Mostly broken, great history of old west.
Don't be a hater Ned I perforated New England in the 60s and 70s
Botts out for harambe
Don't be dissing Ensure Ned.
Time for some fire-baked tarantula- tastes like crab without all the burned off hair folicles !
Grave marker just over fence?
For a pet I think
Hope we receive a good educational presentation, without any silliness.
Should be wearing gloves if Rats about Weils is Fatal.
Could have been dug in the 60s or 70s. We didn't save slicks or slick whiskeys and I heard early diggers didn't bother with blob top beers or common bimal meds......just saying.
You crazy 70s diggers wouldn’t even save a colored med?? Haha
Strata was intact on this one - it was undug. ABDs are mixed - no intact ash layers
I don't get it... Why would you leave a visible bott in the hole when filling it?? Why not pull it out first??
Valid question ! That spice was locked in with tight clay and broken plates and would’ve taken time and sunlight to extract without damaging it so better to come back with full daylight. But if it were a bitters or something I definitely would’ve spent the extra time trying to get it out !!
