1880s OLD WEST DUMPSITE DISCOVERED UNDER SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD

- While the 2nd half of this vid may be crappy like a Castoria, the first half is a veritable masterpiece of difficult dump digging in an unlikely location - underneath suburbia !! The Funny Bunny is out of his rabbit hole for the spring and has definitely seen a shadow...a shadow of hundreds of 1800s rootin’ tootin’ wild western botts buried under Prius-driving housewives and pancake breakfasts ! This is a power dump. This is a mega dump. This is what we diggers call...a true bottle dump! And don’t worry; there will be a sequel! (Not of the second part though. Fuck the 2nd part). But watch it anyway. That’s an order, my holy shit-shoveling soldiers of The Bott !

The video was over the top!!!! I am literally diggin the sidewalk
Great bonus... digging the digging the sidewalk!
When I was on staycation in May I discovered this channel and binge watched the whole time. Great music on the end of this one!!!
I have had that song in my head the whole day!!
I literally just had the worst storm I have ever witnessed come through my neighborhood, absolutely insane, took out my wifi and interrupted my bottle Ned video. 😳 maybe the storm knew Digging the sidewalk was coming up. 🤘👍
You guys are terribly silly!! ....but, you're obviously having a great time!
Looks like Ned didn’t have a lefty strat…
Love that Digging the Sidewalk
Bottle Ned and Honey Bunny...I have to let you know that watching you two work together was so much fun! At the end of your dig, I could feel your pain! Your finds are amazing!!
And, then...."Digging the sidewalk, digging the sidewalk...!" Hillarious!!
You guys are awesome!! Thanks for the laughs!
As always I really appreciate your humor. That said, the education and humor towards the subject matter is awesome. As far as canceled, never. Lastly, nice riffs. 😎
George S. Dickey, chemist, ran an apothecary business in San Francisco beginning in 1850. Some held a supposed acne remedy by brushing their teeth. Earliest bottles were light cobalt-aqua of 1850-1870s, then ambers (1870s---), with another series being chocolates (not variant dark ambers) of the (1870s---). Variants include mortar and pestle with the pestle on the left or right side.
Earliest variants (1860s) have long necks and just the mortar n pestle embossed. They come in blue, aqua and clear (insanely rare in the last 2 colors).The blue applied ones are 70s. Amber applied top is almost unheard of - maybe one broken example known.
THE BEST!!👍🥰🇨🇦
I was in Glasgow Montana that storm was the worst over 100 years North Dakota flooding building stopped due to water damage. Dr Mots my diggers.
Dig It !!!!!
Great digs guys👍
Amazing video my friend
Excellent bottle hunt guys!
The most heartbreaking thing is- you know it could just as easily have been a whole bottle like the others are whole, but no. Heartbreaking. The search continues! 👍🇬🇧
J. Bourne & Son's Pottery of Derby, England. The stamp of Bourne's pottery as well as the mark of the London ink company, R & J Arnold, whose ink products filled these stoneware bottles. In its heyday, Richard and John Arnold's early 19th-century firm manufactured over 30 varieties of ink. By the middle of the century, their writing fluid was widely imported into the United States in Bourne's stoneware bottles and had become a competitive threat to the domestic American ink market.
The Bourne company dates to 1806, when William Bourne acquired a piece of land in Derbyshire and started producing clay pottery vessels in 1809. William Bourne's son, Joseph, eventually ran the company, and the successive generation of the "J. Bourne & Son" mark appeared ~1850. Eventually, the process for salt-glazed ware was patented and stamped on the base of the bottles below the J Bourne & Son company name.
This pottery master ink dates from 1850-1900.
Awesome thanks
I love the new song!! Digging the sidewalk 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Great content 🤟👍Love the song and the various characters u have in the vids from Arnie to funny 🐰
Hello n good morning I just watched ur video 👍 nice old bottle's ..... 😇
Oh I sub to ur videos 👍 .... 😇
Onya Ned !
Buh buh buh buh buh bizzotles
great finds enjoyed watching
Silliness Alert.
Thank You
Nice vid and music encore.... I still have an intact Dr McMunn's Elixir of Opium bott that I found in an junk shop back in the 70s here in northern Michigan.
Hoping to see more vids from you and FB at that old dump site.
Mind the red paint, cinnabar was often used (Mercury), white paint was usually lead oxide, and yellow was sometimes Cadmium. Always wash your hands before handling any food, leading cause of poisoning in the olden days happened to the workers who didn't wash there hands before breaking for lunch.
Gotta love the bott
Killer finds, you and the funny bunny! The music video was amazing, keep up the good works guys!
Hmmmmm OK i am speechless atm, an awesome dig with some awesome bott & the entertainment at the end was epic.
That was a great vid Ned, hope there will be many more digs to come at that tip & you get to dig that dream bottle.
Well, as a first time viewer I will say, your video was pretty epic. Oh and awesome finds.
Sacramento had noted Little Japantown that eventually created their own community system of businesses and pharmacies. Teapots, soy sauce jugs, and sake jugs would be Japanese and not Chinese.
The Japan town came a little later. They demoed it and relocated them during the 1960s redevelopment era. The Asian population in 19th century Ca was predominantly chinese.
You guys better dig that entire lot lol. I know I would. Doesn't look like it's that deep?
It’s a hip bone 🍖 off a rat lol 😂
Your finding some nice items.
Best video yet!😊❤
Just found you and really enjoyed watching all the old bottles come out of the ground. And you all are funny too! Two for one 👍😀
I haven't had a good laugh like that for a while you got a new sub
Good finds. You should be happy. Lots of unbroken ones. Some quite valuable to collectors Bottle digging for me was one of the dirtiest hobbies I had, and the most tiresome. My best find a 1/2 gallon clay jug. I still miss digging to this day.
Can't wait to see the next time you're there digging great finds
We’re going back OH YES we’re going back !
@@BottleNed Can't wait!!
Hi guys,
Greetings from New Zealand. Impressed with your Chinese items. The small brown chines pot, we know as a 'Gee Oil' container. We have found these in dark brown , light brown, black and cream coloured pottery. Impressed with your 3 soy Sauce containers. We have dug many in our Otago Goldfields, Chinese sites. The seams to be a similar connection to both your site and ours, what with the Chinese items, Portobello Scotland two tones ale stout bottles, stone English ink, and the gum bottle. - bob.
U guys are so funny to watch ! T had to subscribe
thanks
New Subscriber and Amazing Finds.
Love that Stoneware Ink Bottle. Made by Denby Potteries in Derbyshire, England for the P&J Arnold Ink Company.
The first intact Stoneware Bottle I found is a P&J Arnold Ink made by Denby Potteries. Mine is a bit smaller with different stamps and has the rarer white glaze instead of the more common brown colour like the one you found.
I'm sure there's one or more of those hair tonics whole in there, you got to go further through that layer🍾💰🍾💰🍾💰🍾💰
I found your site from watching you from Nicolas video! Now I can watch you too, and I subscribed!!😊😊😊😊😊
🪨 diggin' it ❣
The Reddington Drug Company, founded in 1849, by John H Reddington and partners, was then dissolved with partners leaving in 1852, and continuing on with Reddington as the leader. Reddington of San Francisco was the first and oldest pharmaceutical company in the West. Reddington was also the first wholesale drug house in San Francisco. By 1870, it was larger than all similar firms combined in California or San Francisco.
Reddington & Co Drugs and Medicines of San Francisco - distributor of many products. 1906 advertisement lists 24 different national ly identifiable patent medicines and drugs for sale - plus their own company-produced medicines and drugs.
Later merged (earlier than 1920) to become the Coffin-Reddington Co of San Francisco lasting up into 1949 when merging with another company.
Yup ! They were a “pioneer 1850” SF biz !
The Coffin-Reddington Company distributed various Florida Water, Western Water, various personal hygiene and cosmetics.

Well done boys.
There is Willis & Martin Pharmacists 212 J Street Sacramento in 1905, 1911, 1913, 1921 Era Druggists Directory. No Ray in San Francisco in 1905, 1911, 1913, 1916, until showing 1921 entry Ray Pharmacy in San Francisco - of available directories. Dose cup must be post-1921 for it to be a Willis & Ray Pharmacy in Sacramento.
Does Bottle Ned ever sell his botts?
If so where can I go shopping??
If you see anything you like you can always DM me on IG @bottlened_digs_the_old_west & I can let you know if it’s available !
A HOFSTETTER Hock Wine bottle (alpine white wines).
I know some good spots in Napa ca if your ever in the area!
Do you guys drop something odd in the hole before you close ir.
Funny bunny is more a grinder type
🤣🤣🤣
You must not know who he is. The Bunny is a big time legend digger/collector.
@@SM-pe1jh Jeez fella didn't you watch or in you're case understand the start of the video? It was a joke
@@mikeprice4103 YUP! Same here. Just Joking
Need to invest in some smaller hand digging tools to work these pieces out so you have less chance of breaking them.
We have them - they are shaved down dandelion forks we call “picos”. This soil was very soft and sandy so we didn’t need them as much..
I need more sidewalk music videos please!
Mr. Ned.... Me and my buddy mainly detect the southern motherlode area for miner relics/coins but I do have a probe for bottle digging. Great videos Dude.. but a question for you. We have a permission on a early lodge building in the heart of a gold rush town. On the Sanborn Fire Maps... does the "X" represent the privy? There are two in the back of the lodge on either side of the lodge building... A next to this lodge was a hotel which is gone.....
Thanks dude ! DM me on IG if you wanna talk specifics ! @bottlened
@@BottleNed .... IG?
Instagram !
@@BottleNed ...LOL... not on Instagrammer... only FB. You'd love some of my sites... early sites... pulled a 1838 2-1/2 dollar from one stone home..
Great video Ned thanks, why do some diggers put their finds into buckets of water and some do not? I know its to prevent bruises but it is all relative to the climate of the location the bottles are being dug from?
Great and interesting question ! Old glass is very sensitive to environmental changes such as temp and expansion n contraction due to getting wet / drying out too fast, etc. After they are removed from a stable environment of comfy 55 degree soil that they’ve been sleeping in for over a century, they need to acclimate. Especially if the soil has been very dry the whole time or very wet. (Most soil goes from dry to wet to dry again depending on seasonal changes but some doesnt bc rainwater never penetrates or ground in that area is perpetually saturated. For either of those, it’s good to keep the bott in the environment they are used to for a lil while after removal from the ground so they can acclimate
@@BottleNed Yeh very true I have had botts crack when they are dug & then get exposed to sunlight, especially some of the early goldfields stuff can be very thin & fragile.
WHERE??
What do you guys do with the nearly complete artifacts like that broken chinese bowl?
Besides video-documenting, if they are rare or unusual we save them as specimens. Funny Bunny has actually donated a majority of his Asian finds to a Chinese history museum in San Francisco, California!
you sound like ryan reynolds
Put that sulfide marble in a tumbler
Ive also heard soaking in vegetable oil helps but never tried it !
@@BottleNed I would use a bottle tumbler maybe or the same tumbling medium used for bottles in a regular tumbler.
And l thought l was wacky hey Ned 👋 do you ever come across ARROWHEADS
have you ever found Steuben glass?
Not that I know of ! Never heard of that either !
Out of 80% of the bottle diggers here on FB , only 20 % wear gloves. Why is that ?
Calluses lol
What do you do with all these bots Ned?
Collect / sell / donate / give to owner who let me dig - many things ! Filming them is most important to me because it immortalizes them and lets a lot more ppl see/appreciate them
@@BottleNed I love when you put the bottle in historical context. Great work. And thank you for letting us share the journey with you!
Ned,
Your video was amazing, too bad it couldn't have been even longer. I can't imagine finding sweet bottles two feet beneath the surface. What was the depth when the bots stopped coming? The stoneware was amazing too. Three Chinese pots in different colors. I was surprised that none of them had any damage to their spouts. Why? Were the ginger beers English? If you're interested I would love to purchase from you either or both of the Chinese pots or The Ginger beers, let me know. The Scott's Emulsions bottle looked like the glass was sort of flaky or was I seeing things? Nice age of bottles too. I like when you dig with Funny Bunny he has the bottle bug just as bad as you. So will there be a part 2? Did you finish up the yard ? I've been trying to purchase Western bottles at auctions and it is tough, since it seems like everyone else is too. Any suggestions? I hope there's a part 2 until your next video. Take care and stay safe.✌
Hi Debra! This was the shallow embankment to the marsh so the trash isn’t deep at all right there ! Expect a waaay longer video for part 2! You can email me at thenedc@gmail.com or add me on Instagram @bottlened_digs_the_old_west to inquire about any bott you see featured in the vids !
not an ink guys . Gee Oil container. chinese.
Could that broken bottle that was broken and had a dot on the bottom have been a large snuff bottle???????
Which bott ?
You mean the cylinder? No - not a snuff; they would square or rectangular
It was a great video until "Digging The Sidewalk " Went Iron on the charts 😞
That fake Asian voice you keep doing is super offensive. Really disappointing because you make interesting content.
Sorry bout that ! I’m a product of the 90s when doing the Asian voice wasn’t offensive yet, & featured in many popular movies Such as Lethal Weapon 3, Wayne’s World, etc. But I agree - gotta control some of that. Thanks for the input
*lethal weapon 4 ! Don’t wanna get that wrong !
WOW!!!!!!??????? THAT WAS STUPID!!?????????
Hood Sarsaparilla (and Ayers Sarsaparilla) most-likely marketed by Reddington & Co of San Francisco amongst their 24 different patent medicines and products. This bottle 1900-1921 era.
Founded by Charles Ira Hood in 1875, C.I. Hood & Co. of Lowell, Massachusetts was among the largest patent medicine companies in the United States and offered a number of personal health products in addition to its well known Hood’s Sarsaparilla. In 1876, Charles followed the lead of J.C. Ayer & Company and began to compound his own sarsaparilla medicine. In addition to sarsaparilla root, he mixed in dandelion, gentian, juniper berries and 18% alcohol. He claimed great success in curing a variety of disorders including “purifying the blood”, heart diseases, dropsy, rheumatism and scrofula. Within two years of launching his product he was on his way to great success. Charles Hood added to his success with Hood’s Tooth Powder, Vegetable Pills, Oil Ointment, Medicated Soap, Dyspeplets (for dyspepsia), TusSamo (for cough) and Hood’s Lotion. Hood died in 1922, and the widow sold off the company.
