I find your videos strangely relaxing. You are not hurried, and though I know you've seen many of these finds before, you are always pleased and surprised at what you uncover. Great channel!
Tom, I love to watch you dig, and try to guess what it is before you tell us, but I enjoy it a lot more when you are wearing gloves! With all that broken glass down there, even gloves are no guarantee that stitches aren't in your future! Stay safe.
I can just imagine mom asking one of the boys to take out the garbage. And the young lad with a devilish look in his eyes says; i will mom. Most entertainment he had all day, listening to those bottles, dishes, and plates crashing around.:-)
I noticed when you started doing the color grading right away. some of your older videos seemed a little lifeless, but I didn't realize it until after I saw the change. they look really good now, some of those bottles look so damn pretty. thanks for sharing, and constantly improving
You spoil us. Although there are others excavating privies and ash pits. The're no comparison with your knowledge and history of your finds, I can't watch another like channel and now I check to see if I miss any or rewatch these great videos that you and Jake have created!!!! 🍶🍾
Surprising to see shoe polish bottles from Boston all the way over in the Dakota territories . Shows the expansion of goods going west once the RR were built.Sears was the Amazon of that era and would ship anything from tops to houses, right to your door.Don't know how they missed the internet age. Interesting dig!😊
Last week I remarked on the inked numerals on the inner base of Edison Mazda bulbs..yesterday I examined those in my collection and found that the inked numerals are at the top of the glass filament base where the filaments wires connect to that base..some of the inscriptions were in blue and or black ink
Come to Pennsylvania and let's do some privy hunting. I have a location I've been going to that was once a home site but is now a field. I did find the well, which was filled with rocks that I believe we're the structure of the home. I pulled rocks out over time but only made it down 12-15ft and gave up and eventually filled it back in. I believe the home existed from the 1700's to the early 1900's. Still to yet find the privy but did metal detect many times and found tombak buttons, coopers, Indians, flat buttons, and broken glass.
Love your videos! And your entry music as well. I always feel so much better about you when you put on your gloves! Could you please explain sometime the difference between a tooled top and an applied top? Your knowledge is amazing! Thanks, good luck and please be careful.
Kerr Glass Co SanFran/Portland were the West Coast competitors to Ball Bros of Muncie, Indiana. Both Kerr and Ball had their highly competitive regular canning jars - but also offered less cost and also highly competitive respective Economy and Drey fruit jars.
I think I remember this one from before...those are candy container lanterns...not salt and pepper shakers. They had metal tops , bottoms and handles. 👍👍
Mom tossed my marble collection in the toilet there well back then it was that house out back , we didn't use it but when the slave trade was in runnings it was used alot matters if face they hada re dug them many times . I moved after being a lad there this brought back many o memories
There was so much broken I cheered when you found something good,kinda reminded me when I was a kid at the dump throwing rocks at bottles and sometimes BB GUNS nothing came out alive
In England on the Thames I watch collectors find those clay pipes all the time that go back 300-400 years usually. Nicole White who has you tube- mudlarking on the river Thames can tell you about pipe as she has collected hundreds. Hope that helps, you found some really beautiful pieces
haha i watch her channel! and im pretty sure she is subscribed to my channel too. yeah, i get kind of jealous when i see those mudlarking videos, because some of that stuff is so old. you never see anything from before 1860 in my area. couldnt even dream of finding stuff that old. hopefully someday i can make it out that way, and make some videos over there. thanks for watching
@@jimjustice581 H J Heinz Co, Henry and brothers were born in Sharpsburg "PA", and this is where the H J Heinz Glass Company for making his food jars and bots were made in the 1870s-1910. Sharpsburg is NE outside of Pittsburgh, where the Heinz company resided for all of its corporate life.
I'm so pumped every video you do !!!! I have a permission on rural home in Valparaiso indiana built in 1835 on many acres of land !!! Too bad 2 weeks ago I ordered a probe from old west bottles and nothing lol $100 hopefully I get it soon
Didn't know there was another Scotland, I did wonder when you dug a scottish bottle in a previous video, I only thought it came from here. Good dig, I like the unusual beer bottle, Thank you.
There's another bottle digging site that shows the digging up the bottles and the same bottles after cleaning process....I would love to have you do the same... 🙏 Please?
I have 35 acres in tx and have found a pit of glass, havent dug it all up yet. Is there a way I could send you pictures with the bottles i have found to figure out the age of some of them?
Ihr habt eindeutig das falsche Werkzeug. Mit einem Spatel könntet ihr viel mehr Flaschen retten ohne sie zu zerbrechen 😉 Ich bewundere dennoch eure Arbeit und eure Funde 😊👍
Yep; lots of people do that. One channel of pickers I don't watch/like even sells them. I have cut down bottles before. It is not hard. Give it a try! Remember to sand the edge when done.
Wouldn't it be better to have some kind of water jet? I know you don't want to be in mud but if you're trying to save something fragile maybe you could soak it up some how.Just sayin.

Love the channel always excellent content as you never know what you will find.
I find your videos strangely relaxing. You are not hurried, and though I know you've seen many of these finds before, you are always pleased and surprised at what you uncover. Great channel!
Used to do the same thing 40yrs ago. It was always fascinating to find the unique glassware.

I like to imagine your scenario, because I was having trouble accounting for so much broken glass!
I was thinking maybe Mom asked him to take care of the dirty dishes!
Thumbs up, great video, that digging stick is the main tool in your exploration ,really enjoy all the history
Another GREAT dig guys!!!! Thank you Tom and Jake
Some really interesting finds on this dig 👌
Do you ever find coins. So relaxing like I'm right there
Watched it again, just to see you dig the Milan, Mo bottle. Great dig.
I cant believe that old map took you to this! Wow! The BEST TREASURE find on UA-cam
Seriously??? Try searching “Mudlarking”
@@123fishpond sorry bro I'm not gay. Keep your gay Google searches to yourself
Saturday night Double Feature! Woo Hoo!
Thanks for taking me along today
It would be interesting if you went into more detail on how you locate each area that you dig.

These items were from just before the automotive era began. So much change was on the cusp.
Another fantastic dig Tom.

Awesome video 👍👏
It would be interesting if you included a typical price range for the intact bottles.
Thank you for sharing. From the couch in Ohio
Nice video thanks ⭐️⭐️⭐️

You can make one. T- top handle welded to pointed length of iron however long you want it.
Didn't know there was another Scotland, I did wonder when you dug a scottish bottle in a previous video, I only thought it came from here. Good dig, I like the unusual beer bottle, Thank you.
It looked like an old hole for outhouses would explain all the bottle too
I love these old bottles! I'm surprised u don't find more ceramics and tin cans! I laugh at all the liquor bottles u find!
I SMASHED that like button 😂
Loving the end music with the clean glass. Beautiful.
There's another bottle digging site that shows the digging up the bottles and the same bottles after cleaning process....I would love to have you do the same... 🙏 Please?
Eres el busca botellas de cristal, porque antes no se reciclaba, sino no encontrarías nada, un saludo.
Do you ever find lost jewelry down the hole? What do you do with the bottles ? I collect old bottles!😊
Not salt and pepper but lantern candy containers. They had metal top and bottom
Nice
I have 35 acres in tx and have found a pit of glass, havent dug it all up yet. Is there a way I could send you pictures with the bottles i have found to figure out the age of some of them?
Nice high tech digging tool you have there 😊
Ihr habt eindeutig das falsche Werkzeug. Mit einem Spatel könntet ihr viel mehr Flaschen retten ohne sie zu zerbrechen 😉 Ich bewundere dennoch eure Arbeit und eure Funde 😊👍
My question is how do you find precisley where to start? Ive looked at old plats and all but dont have the info of a pit. Well done. I enjoy the vids.
The use a long metal rod to prove the ground. The pit is soft
I'll give er a watch again bc I like you boys
Where are you finding all these maps these really old Maps at
Woohoo!
Pop's here. At what point did you decide a mason trowel would work better than a stick.?
I keep thinking it would be cool to make drinking glasses out of the bottles with broken tops. Just cut off the broken part somehow 😃
Yep; lots of people do that. One channel of pickers I don't watch/like even sells them. I have cut down bottles before. It is not hard. Give it a try! Remember to sand the edge when done.
That one looked like a Jennie bottle or something, lol.
wonder just how many they broke digging them out?
fellas...how do you determine where a privy may have been buried...what do you look for?
Don't get no better Sir
I’m imagining a young boy annoyed to be taking out the rubbish, chucking the bottles with full force and swearing about how unfair life is… 😂
Probably the kids job to throw out the bottles and they smashed them .
Wouldn't it be better to have some kind of water jet? I know you don't want to be in mud but if you're trying to save something fragile maybe you could soak it up some how.Just sayin.
I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what you mean when you say”nothing home.”
opalization = of the glass - another few hundred thousand years it will be better opal !
