I am a zooarchaeologist, so my job is identified bones from archaeological digs. You are right, the bones you are finding appears to be mostly from food waste. Some of the larger vertebrae and ribs are from cattle, the bone you are holding at 17:50 is a sheep/goat metatarsal!
Hello, your job caught my attention. Indeed, I found a tooth that I believe I have identified, but I would prefer to have the opinion of a professional. If this interests you ?
I was born in Scotland and in the summers we used to go visit family on a Barley farm north of Dundee. The farm house was over 300 years old and there were stone ruins scattered on the property that were at least as old. I have been left with a lifelong fascination with ruined structures. Thank you for your videos! I get excited when I pull out a Child's toy from the 1970's out of my lawn with a metal detector, so this is next level for me.
Interesting! I was watching the video and thinking how everything is connected, how History is finding its ways out of the dirt of lies or whatever... I don't even can express that with words. Your comment brings my impressions to life. Beautiful! 🥰
Glass and stoneware bottles, similarly to clay pipes, are very good dating aids, usually datable to within a decade or two (often much less), and usually thrown away within a relatively short period after manufacture. The brown glass jar is machine made and probably dates c late 1920s-50 (more details may narrow that down considerably). The black glass bottle base looks as though it might have a pontil scar, in which case it's 1820s - c.1840s, but even without a pontil it's very early 20th century at the latest. The colourless glass bottle neck looks as though it's from a sauce bottle. I can't see if it's machine made or not so more difficult to date, but in colourless glass it's unlikely to pre-date about 1920.
Thank you. It took me about an hour to get 10 seconds of footage for the timelapse lol. Much easier with a drone, and more stable footage, but I thought it would be good to see a new angle. 😄
I love the music you play. I must admit I cried a few tears of joy when I seen you got thru the wall. It's such a beautiful place. If those stones could talk... Stay Blessed.
That strip of metal with the two holes (one with a screw in) and the little 'handle' at one end is from an old latch. These days you usually see 'em on garden gates, but back in the day it wouldn't be unusual to find them on internal doors or doors to outhouses. When I was an ickle pritty, waaay back in the very early 70s, the tied farm-labourer's cottage we lived in had a pantry with a door exactly so . . .
Fun project. The uncovered ruin, unrestored I hope, becomes a "garden feature" better by far than any that could be created new. It can be the basis and inspiration for sympathetic landscaping of the surrounding garden area. Two hundred years ago it was fashionable for wealthy estate owners to commission faux ancient ruins at huge cost. Well done you.
Great! What a nice clean dig. Cleanliness and order is what turns our cranks. The aerial view is grand, and the effort is much appreciated. Be careful up there. This whole/hole endeavor is fantastic! Thank you.
I am a zooarchaeologist I saw several cow ribs, a possible shoulder blade of a sheep/ goat. And the meta (tarsal, carpal) of a sheep/ goat… this is an interesting dig!! Thanks for sharing!!
I seldomly commenting on youtube. But this man gain my highest respect for what he's doing. And this house must be a great beauty for whoever living in it then. Keep going handsome man! ❤
So cool to have this behind your home. What a great place it will be to entertain , barbeque etc. when you are finished. Love to watch you excavate history.
I don't know how it is there but here in the us I ran crews of tree trimmers for the power company, and as close as that tree is I would hope if you called the power company they would remove it for you. My wife and I have really enjoyed watching your journey of discovery.
The telecoms company certainly trim the trees near the line sometimes for overhanging branches. I think ordinarily it's the landowners responsibility but I might look in to it. Save me some work!
We had a very tall dead tree on the sidewalk in front of our house. (In the U. S.) It was very close to the electric and other wires overhead. I thought the city would take it down, being on the sidewalk, or the power company but nope-we had to pay someone to take it down before it caused serious damage. I guess because it wasn't actually touching the lines it wasn't their problem. If it fell, no matter which way it went it was either taking out our roof or the lines, so we took it down first.
I'm glad I was suggested your videos. I love the idea of doing something like this. Used to want to be an archeologist when I was younger even. Thank you for sharing this process with us.
I have seen houses with stone walls only that high with a roof on top. When I run into a video I'll come back and leave you a link. Very cool thing you are doing! I love REAL history! Thanks very much 🕊❤️🕊
Am so glad I found this. I did a lot of work like this on an old farm house and land here in east Tennessee back in the 80s. When I was much younger. Now I get to see you do it. Loving it from the USA!
When we were little mom n dad load us in car n go for drives outt to country area ill Il. Mom grew up on farm n missed that life. So wed go find old abandoned farm houses n walk through. Only obviously empty n old. Never disturbed anything. Found 1 still had old cans in like they just walked away. They drug us all over. It was interesting.
Mike from Elk Grove California Age 64. Absolutely incredible, to uncover an ancient home is an outstanding find, can't wait to see the finished product
What a delightful surprise! I was excited to find a marble in my flower garden, so I can only imagine your delight and satisfaction in a job well done. Thank you for sharing as well as not turning it into a “big project” by doing the work yourself. Sweat equity is absolutely priceless. My first thought when you showed the hook, it belongs near the fireplace/cooking area. It could have held so many different items such as food, pots, lids, utensils, etc. I very much appreciate your kindness in sharing this with the world.
I imagined a coat hanging on it by the door. Though, a nice sturdy hook like that would have been excellent for your suggestions, too. If this were made into a movie maybe we would see him show us that hook in his treasure find, and then fade to the past when the house was still in use. Someone hangs their coat or cooking utensil on the hook as they go about their business and we are left to catch the detail. The movie I have in my head would be full of little moments like that.
@@3dogsdigging94 Thanks. 😊 I wish I knew someone to make the movie for me. I've been thinking of suggesting to an author feiend of mine to write a book about it. But I think this story would be better in a movie than a book.
Patio -- that's what I was thinking. Refurbish the stove area for a BBQ or as a wood fire "pit" then add some comfy chairs, a table maybe. A great outdoor living space.
Your videos has inspired me to work on my garden, it's paved and im slowly removing the paving and planting, im a petit woman and get tired very often, it's a blessing to watch the results at the end. 🙏❤️ Thank you.
Fantastic! My favorite finds were the nails, so much information can be gained from a little bit of metal. It's a great testament to the craftsmanship of the time that any of this house remains, the floor being level (ish) is icing on the cake. Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Wow! That is fantastic! You were right about the door placement and that floor is so well preserved. The overhead shot was great / really gave a sense of the space. Keep up the great work and that you for sharing this project!
It's so interesting to see what is revealed. It feels as if the story of the place is reclaimed from nature with respect - all of the work done by hand, in steps. Your voice does justice to the story too as you speak well. Thank you.
Love this series, can't wait for more. I hope you'll restore the stove! maybe message another restoration/sandblasting channel, they might do it for free. a lot of the parts you keep finding are from the ash pan and ash rake from the stove I think, the centre of the stove is a fire pit, an ash rake then an ash pan. under the oven was used to keep cooked food or plates warm. this channel going to be big I think :) maybe in bad weather nights, contact local historians, prob a club nearby, here in Barnsley we have a market stall that sells old local photos, and he knows everything about local area. good luck
Thank you Ben. I definitely plan to restore the stove, I think it will make a nice feature. I'm sure there are some local people who know a lot about this area and the nearby houses. My first priority is to try and find some older records that show the house as I suspect it may well be older than I have been stating (200 years).
On a property in Columbus, Ohio I was putting up a privacy fence and found an old property line stone wall about 6 inches tall. I was able to make a stone patio 20 by 22 feet from it. Really enjoying your dig. Watching from Benton, Tennessee.
Ok CRAZY this video was just suggested to me after I had a dream last night of moving to a place and finding a buried house/shelter area!!! Kudos to you, I don’t think I would actually have the persistence to do all that without knowing what all I was looking for! Looking forward to the final outcome. 🎉 Blessings to you and Peace in Nature ❤
At 16:28, that bit reminds me of part of a "window stay", with the continuation of that flat section having several spaced holes so that the opening of the window can be adjusted easily according to the needs and conditions of the day. We still have such items in use to this day.
This was fantastic! Just as I was thinking "it would be really helpful if there were an aerial view" (I have trouble visualizing things)... Boom! Aerial view! And you did it the hard way, drone free lol. This has been a fascinating journey, thanks for taking us along. There doesn't need to be treasure of gold and riches, the treasure is the journey itself. PS, you need new gloves! 😂
Thank you. I've already bought new gloves! I went through a pair already from all the digging but couldn't find the new ones without holes for that part of the video I think. 😀
I just happened upon this channel. My family and I used to love watching “Time Team” and it is fascinating to rediscover what earlier generations let go to ruin. We live in Australia so our historical digs are less ancient but the discovery of something old is such fun ! Keep going! We’re interested.
Great job. You are helping people with your therapeutic videos. You may not understand why but tons of people can't move their body or own land like this. So be proud making your video. Its not just your journey now. I dont have money but maybe someone can send you some good tools from your audience.
Just stumbled on your videos today, I’ve already watched all of the digging series and looking forward to future dig videos! Good job and looking forward to part 4!
This is a fascinating project, I’d love to be able to do this in my back yard. There’s a Roman wall with a gate and Norman castle literally backing on to our back yard but obvious reasons why I can’t go scraping around and digging. It would be worth checking LiDAR maps and if you locate a rubbish pit, that would make for some interesting content, and an insight into the lives of the occupants.
It's crazy that we get to watch this and feel involved. We are roughly watching 3 minutes of you digging, every second for us. Crazy! Thanks for including us
The Peice with the bolt and tip on it looks like a possible latch for a stove or old iron heater. Could even be part of a stone frig. / cold space door. At 16:32 or close to it. Very interesting dig from old ruins. I love discovering treasure like this!
The screws you found can be considered misleading, as most people would assume that means part of the house is younger or newer than the mid to early 19th century. But, I firmly believe you've got an example of some early mass produced wood screws, possibly from the last two decades of the 18th century. An early process for mass producing screws was located in Staffordshire, not too far away from Wales itself, and in the 1780s that company was producing over 10,000 screws a day with little more than two dozen employees. Other technical developments for the quicker manufacturing of screws occurred during that same time period, and standardization occurred very soon after. I believe much of the metal you've discovered relates to the original door, which likely had a wooden frame, and was attached with several of those hinges. The other straight piece with a threaded bit may be a part of a latch that was once used on the door.
I stumbled across a video of a guy who stumbled across a buried house, and I couldn't be more fascinated. This is why the internet is sometimes awesome.
Hi been watching your videos of the 200 year old House at the bottom of your garden very fascinating to watch your video I love to watch those kind of things cannot wait for part 4
You are doing a great job , well done , it is looking great and really looking forward to seeing more of your hiden house 👍👍👍. I dug up an old crisp packet in my garden but not sure of the age , pre best before date. It was a packet of beef quavers made by Smith's , no bar code .
That's amazing. There is something nostalgic about finding someone else's life buried under dirt. These people probably never expected anyone to care let alone find their past lives. I'm intrigued with the past lives of others that have been buried and forgotten by the world. Thanks for sharing
Sometimes UA-cam recommends channels that are really interesting. This is definitely one of those. Great videos! I have been watching quite a few Time Team videos as well, maybe that's why.
I’m get so excited when I see you’ve released another episode . The work you are doing is fascinating, I wonder if it’s possible to find parish records to see who lived there .
What an enormous task. You will definitely be built like a brick when you are done. Thank you so much for sharing this journey with us. I hope you make a million bucks from these videos.
The whole endeavor is fascinating. I will never stop being amazed at how the earth reclaimed this entire building/home! You sure could use some help on this project, eh? Look forward to your next installment. Thanks for sharing your journey!
I live for this sort of thing! The area I live in has enough old empty farm houses to go around. I’ve purchased and flipped quite a few, and I absolutely love exploring every inch of them. This past January I bought an octagon house built in 1895 that sat on what was once a tobacco farm. There was a huge manhole cover that was welded shut out in the middle of the yard where a farrowing barn once sat. Between the bitter cold and my assumption of it being a manure pit I didn’t really mess with it. There was an ancient fuel oil tank in the basement that my dad and I removed. An old nailed shut cellar type trap door was hidden beneath part of the oil tank so we hadn’t noticed it until then. We decided to get it open and check it out. It ended up being a tunnel with 2 separate paths leading to two of the outbuildings, and the big weird welded shut manhole cover was an access point to the tunnel. I ended up falling in love with the house and decided to make it mine. We’re currently renovating it, and hope to have it done in a month or two and I can’t wait to get moved in!
The first metel peice was part of a lock for a door. And the second metel was part of a frame, either for a window or something of that nature. Thanks for sharing your story on your garden!
Watching you work, im sure your body must ache after a busy day, if yours dont ache, mine aches for you lol. But it must be very gratifying to see the progress. Have been watching since the first video and can't wait to see more. Just watch that you don't overdo it. Take care of your body, your young, and have a lot of yrs left. Will be waiting for the next video. I find this series very gratifying. Thank you for videoing this for us. Love from Wisconsin USA 🇺🇸 ❤
Nice to see a mattock in use. So rare to find anyone who knows what they are - whether they exist, let alone fact they are most useful agriculture, ground work, excavating digging tool, especially in partnership with a shovel
I’m really enjoying this uncovering process, It’s very satisfying to watch! I’m a gardener in Colorado. I love unearthing old stones. We found an old (probably 80-110 years) farm house foundation while planting a row of trees in a new build’s back yard. Made it a real B to plant the trees tho ;)
This series is definitely the most interesting i've EVER come across. Keep going, you're awesome!! Thank you for sharing your passion, excitement and discoveries with us!! :D
It already feels like forever since this video was posted lol. I'm dying for more of this reveal. I understand how much work is involved, what with digging, sorting the spoils, etc. but I'm just so damn interested!
I am a zooarchaeologist, so my job is identified bones from archaeological digs. You are right, the bones you are finding appears to be mostly from food waste. Some of the larger vertebrae and ribs are from cattle, the bone you are holding at 17:50 is a sheep/goat metatarsal!
Thank you that is useful to know🙂
If you are able to get carbon dating on the animal bones this may give you more history of the site.
Hello, your job caught my attention. Indeed, I found a tooth that I believe I have identified, but I would prefer to have the opinion of a professional. If this interests you ?
@@WNWNReDesigners Carbon dating is only useful for items more than 200-300 years old (I work as a historic period archaeologist).

Well said Amy Becker🙂💚
I now have a new obsession and it's hiding in your garden. Dude, THIS IS SO COOL!
Glass and stoneware bottles, similarly to clay pipes, are very good dating aids, usually datable to within a decade or two (often much less), and usually thrown away within a relatively short period after manufacture. The brown glass jar is machine made and probably dates c late 1920s-50 (more details may narrow that down considerably). The black glass bottle base looks as though it might have a pontil scar, in which case it's 1820s - c.1840s, but even without a pontil it's very early 20th century at the latest. The colourless glass bottle neck looks as though it's from a sauce bottle. I can't see if it's machine made or not so more difficult to date, but in colourless glass it's unlikely to pre-date about 1920.
This is such a cool, unfolding story. Thank you for putting it all together and sharing.
I was Mesmerised… I didn’t want it to stop!
Love your aerial rig for the ‘shot’.
Thank you. It took me about an hour to get 10 seconds of footage for the timelapse lol. Much easier with a drone, and more stable footage, but I thought it would be good to see a new angle. 😄
I did the same thing 40 years ago. The county sent a guy out to record and photograph my findings. A small stone built cottage dating to around C1300.
this is incredible! i love watching you be an "archeologist" by excavating and even cleaning it all
I love the music you play. I must admit I cried a few tears of joy when I seen you got thru the wall. It's such a beautiful place. If those stones could talk... Stay Blessed.

An early process for mass producing screws was located in Staffordshire, not too far away from Wales itself, and in the 1780s that company was producing over 10,000 screws a day with little more than two dozen employees. Other technical developments for the quicker manufacturing of screws occurred during that same time period, and standardization occurred very soon after. I believe much of the metal you've discovered relates to the original door, which likely had a wooden frame, and was attached with several of those hinges. The other straight piece with a threaded bit may be a part of a latch that was once used on the door.
I stumbled across a video of a guy who stumbled across a buried house, and I couldn't be more fascinated. This is why the internet is sometimes awesome.
Hi been watching your videos of the 200 year old House at the bottom of your garden very fascinating to watch your video I love to watch those kind of things cannot wait for part 4
Looks great!
Waiting with baited breath! Can't wait to see the final results!
Awesome fella.
We all look forward to your next update.
Take care.
You are doing a great job , well done , it is looking great and really looking forward to seeing more of your hiden house 👍👍👍. I dug up an old crisp packet in my garden but not sure of the age , pre best before date. It was a packet of beef quavers made by Smith's , no bar code .
What an amazing discovery, you are doing a tremendous job unearthing this dwelling, I look forward to part 4.
That's amazing. There is something nostalgic about finding someone else's life buried under dirt. These people probably never expected anyone to care let alone find their past lives. I'm intrigued with the past lives of others that have been buried and forgotten by the world. Thanks for sharing
Adventures are where you find them some lucky folk only need to go in their own back yard!👍👍 thanks for sharing!
A wonderful project ! Best of luck on your endeavors .
Sometimes UA-cam recommends channels that are really interesting. This is definitely one of those. Great videos!
I have been watching quite a few Time Team videos as well, maybe that's why.
I’m get so excited when I see you’ve released another episode . The work you are doing is fascinating, I wonder if it’s possible to find parish records to see who lived there .
Thanks. I have in fact found who lived there at 1839 at the time of the map I have seen of it, so I will show that in the next video.
Can't wait for chapter 4! Good luck with the dig!
I have never before seen an archeological dig accomplished by a crew of one. Outstanding.
I wonder, who would bury those homes? And why? I love watching you uncover this amazing History.
England is an old country, that's for sure! Thanks ♥️
What an enormous task. You will definitely be built like a brick when you are done. Thank you so much for sharing this journey with us. I hope you make a million bucks from these videos.
The whole endeavor is fascinating. I will never stop being amazed at how the earth reclaimed this entire building/home! You sure could use some help on this project, eh? Look forward to your next installment. Thanks for sharing your journey!
I live for this sort of thing! The area I live in has enough old empty farm houses to go around. I’ve purchased and flipped quite a few, and I absolutely love exploring every inch of them. This past January I bought an octagon house built in 1895 that sat on what was once a tobacco farm. There was a huge manhole cover that was welded shut out in the middle of the yard where a farrowing barn once sat. Between the bitter cold and my assumption of it being a manure pit I didn’t really mess with it. There was an ancient fuel oil tank in the basement that my dad and I removed. An old nailed shut cellar type trap door was hidden beneath part of the oil tank so we hadn’t noticed it until then. We decided to get it open and check it out. It ended up being a tunnel with 2 separate paths leading to two of the outbuildings, and the big weird welded shut manhole cover was an access point to the tunnel. I ended up falling in love with the house and decided to make it mine. We’re currently renovating it, and hope to have it done in a month or two and I can’t wait to get moved in!
This is Amazing! What a wonderful find.
All I can say is amazing, keep going get it all uncovered.
The first metel peice was part of a lock for a door. And the second metel was part of a frame, either for a window or something of that nature. Thanks for sharing your story on your garden!
Watching you work, im sure your body must ache after a busy day, if yours dont ache, mine aches for you lol. But it must be very gratifying to see the progress. Have been watching since the first video and can't wait to see more. Just watch that you don't overdo it. Take care of your body, your young, and have a lot of yrs left. Will be waiting for the next video. I find this series very gratifying. Thank you for videoing this for us. Love from Wisconsin USA 🇺🇸 ❤
I loved the aerial view! That is a massive amount of soil to move. Thanks for taking us along.
Nice to see a mattock in use. So rare to find anyone who knows what they are - whether they exist, let alone fact they are most useful agriculture, ground work, excavating digging tool, especially in partnership with a shovel
Yes it's a good tool, gets a lot of use!
I’m really enjoying this uncovering process, It’s very satisfying to watch! I’m a gardener in Colorado. I love unearthing old stones. We found an old (probably 80-110 years) farm house foundation while planting a row of trees in a new build’s back yard. Made it a real B to plant the trees tho ;)
I am loving this Thankyou 🤘
Love watching. You work so hard and are so dedicated. Thanks for sharing. The stove area would make a great grill area for outdoor cookouts.
This is so fun. I am really loving this whole series
Fantastic. I can't wait for the rest of this story. Thank you for taking us on the journey with you ❤️
Random metal bits gate latch and window opener? Good fun 😀
Absolutely mesmerizing,I can't stop watching.
This series is definitely the most interesting i've EVER come across. Keep going, you're awesome!! Thank you for sharing your passion, excitement and discoveries with us!! :D
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing your journey. None of us know what is under out feet.
It already feels like forever since this video was posted lol. I'm dying for more of this reveal. I understand how much work is involved, what with digging, sorting the spoils, etc. but I'm just so damn interested!
I love the way he is cleaning everything as he uncovers the house.
You're doing a great job. I live in Tucson Arizona and have two college's with archaeology classes I would have them dig up the house.
