    Morning, Guys -
    I'm happy I've found your channel.
    I grew up in coastal Maine and my late brother & I were into digging old bottles and collecting the old glass insulators. We also enjoyed combing our area antique shops. This was in the late 1960s while we were just kids. I sure have some great memories of those days, we had such a blast doing it. The only real information we could find then with regard to digging/collecting antique bottles was our little local library and a few of the town's old timers.
    I still have just a couple of the bottles we dug back then, a "Dr. True's Pinworm Elixir," and a "Duffy's Malt Whiskey." I think a nice aqua colored insulator, too.
    Yeah, those were some good days - and I could actually feel the excitement of the dig watching you.
    I like that you've tried conserving your broken finds, ("Heart-Breakers.") as you too will have a bunch of great memories.
    Looking forward to checking out your other adventures here, and I wish you much luck with your future explorations!
    Take care...

    That happened to me a few times. I get permission and find the hole then they say they changed their mind. I wonder if they are just using us to show them where the privy is and they end up digging it them self.

    Glass blowing was a home hobby in the 1800s,that small crooked pill bottle could have been a diy container made from some glass tubing.. it looks small enough to be blown at home with the equipment they would have had I would guess..
    That would explain the imperfection

I'm getting old and sold everything else I had a long time ago. Living here in ga I found a mint hutch in a ditch across the street when I was 5 worth 3000 and held on to it forever.I got the flask at a yard sale in Florida 35 years ago and paid a lot for it . I think should have it since you guys live in that area.

      @RonaldWood-ep7vg Yeah, we just use the shovels to get down to the actual use layer. Once we are in the use/trash layer, we switch to smaller tools. If you watch one of our previous videos, we get into an 1820s-1850s era privy and practically dig with sticks or just our hands most of the time because the bottles are so thin and fragile from that era.
