Hi tom
Hey everyone! Sorry if the video looks a little strange, we accidentally recorded it in 24 frames per second, instead of our usual 60fps.. just this one video, thought if let u know! It was just too good of a pit to not release. Thanks everyone. Be sure to like and comment to help us out!
Would have never noticed. If you didn't worry yourself to death 💀
Looks perfect on my end! Thanks for sharing it
Do you sell these finds? I am very interested in a couple of them. I was born in St Joseph, MO.
It's fine!!
@@tappel9019 I think I have a few from your area
Your video's are done so well, with the history and company images of the bottles you find. Very educational and makes them much more enjoyable. I know that must take you quite a bit of time to find those and embed them into your videos but for us viewers it makes your digging videos the best there is.
omg thanks! yeah you have no idea how long it took me to edit this video,.. ive been getting pretty fast but i probably put like.. maybe 40-50 hours into editing this video and then tom spent like 4 hours researching for it.. but thank you. i know its the quality that's gonna help our channel, and we are both pretty determined to do things the best that we can, even if its a ton of extra work. we both really appreciate you saying that! thank you, comments like really make this job worth while!
@@BelowthePlains maybe less time for you as your obviously more dedicated to your craft then your counterparts... I.e. enjoy your experience and everyone else enjoys your journey!!!💯
Highly agree!

Agree 100%
First time watching this channel! Awesome places and even awesomer finds!!! The bottle at 2:45 from a company in Millville, NJ, immediately caught my eye. Whitall Tatum Company began in 1806 and was one of the earliest glass companies in that area of New Jersey. The sand in that area is ideal for glassmaking. They made a lot of electrical insulators, which we find often here in the Colorado mountains. Millville and neighboring Vineland, NJ, still have many glass companies operating today. I know this because I am a scientific glassblower. In my early years, we purchased most of our glass and flask blanks from companies there. I recently retired after 44 years, so I have cut way back on working. Now, I work out of my garage.
Just imagine what the people who pitched all these bottles in the hole 100+ years ago would be saying if they could see you digging it all up!!
I have a feeling they would be laughing and pointing. "Ewu I'm a 21st century baby look at me digging for your trash ewu"
And imagine how disappointed will be to dig ours up in 100 years...still the same shape plastic, huge wastes of resources etc! These bottles could be sterilised and reused after 100+ years in the ground.
Yea finding disposable diapers and razors.
@@pattym307 we are a generous society xD
i like the presentation... the advertisements shown with the bottles. and they way you laid them out at the end
ahh well thank you! yeah its a lot of extra work, but i feel like it really rounds out the videos. to get sense of how the product was marketed back in its day. well im glad you liked it. thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
I used to dig bottles in old cellar holes and in the woods. You guys are fast and your identifications are right on! I can smell the dirt! Such fun and a way to know history and treasure hunt at the same time. People have no idea.
Wow I genuinely love what y’all do! I live in an area full of history from the American revolution and so forth… I constantly find myself looking at old trees wondering about all of the people who have passed by the very same tree or sat against it in the last 200 years. I would love to dig out an area like this and find old glass pieces and what not. It really makes me reflect on the time period and what it really was like for all of those who came before us and paved the way…. To all of whom I know I am forever grateful for ♥️ this truly is amazing!
My great uncles used to dig for bottles back in the 1960's. When the last one died one whole side of his basement was stacked with boxes of old bottles. Hundreds of cool bottles.
oh wow! i hope they ended up somewhere safe! yeah the 60s are when this hobby took off.. i wish i could go back in time, when everything wasnt cemented over and id have first pick! but i guess we have the internet, so doing research is a million times easier. thanks for watching and commenting!
I have no idea why I find your videos so entertaining. I just watch one right after the other. I am going to watch Ever one of them from beginning to now
I’ve just discovered this channel and I was glued to my seat watching all those fabulous bottles and jars come out. I love the commentary and the pace of the video: find after find with the description. Utterly riveting!
I’m intrigued; how do you know which area to dig?
I’m going to drink my cold coffee now….
So much better than the other historical excavation adventure podcasts.
I’m so sad I’m just finding your videos. I’m absolutely in love with that blue bottle!!
haha yeah we actually found 2 of them but the video was so long that we had to cut a bunch of it down.. it shows it at the end tho.. it was a slightly different shade, and the fact that we had a pair that were different brought the value of them up.. really cool bottles tho, not super rare, but fairly uncommon.. yeah this was probably the best residential pit ive ever dug from this particular era.. they arent all this good! maybe like 1 in 20 comes close. well im glad you found our videos! hope you enjoy the rest of our content.. just be warned, the further you go back, the rougher the video is.. we've just been figuring this out as we go over the past year. well thanks for watching and commenting!
Your doing a great job! I’ve watched all the videos now. That cobalt blue is one of the colors in my kitchen (total girl thing i know😂) But I’ve also always enjoyed things from the old days. You’ve got yourself a nice little niche going, best of luck to y’all!
I like the bowl with the fruit on it the most. Beautiful.
I just discovered your channel and I love it. My dad collected old bottles. He did not go on digs but he always looked for them when he was out in the woods hunting. He managed to find quite a few. I inherited his small collection when he passed away. Your videos take me on an adventure each time I watch one. You are knowledgeable about what you find. Thank you!
wow thank you! glad you found the channel. yeah im actually blown away by all the people who seem to have collected bottles. i was hoping that my channel would grow to the point where it gets more young people enthused about these old bottles, bc for now its such a niche hobby. well thanks for watching and leaving us a comment!
This is a GREAT video, Thank you guys. You guys are awesome !!
omg thanks! that's awesome, thank you very much. glad you liked the video! you're awesome, thanks for watching and commenting!
Another great video with bottles with every dig, hardly any broken, you must have sore arms with all that work... thanks..🦾
hahaha ah mostly a bad back, but yeah.. this one was filmed at the beginning of the year and i remember at the end of this trip when i got back home to north dakota i slept for like 3 days. it was a really good trip/dig tho. thanks for watching and leaving us a comment
@@BelowthePlains I always enjoy your videos
You guys do a great job of making these videos. Very educational. I especially like how each find is described on the screen.
As someone who is from Washington and grew up with all the Rainier Beer commercials, I'm jealous of the bottle find!! So very cool!!
Me too! I’m in Olympia.
I always seem to find embalming supplies. I haven't searched in a while because of it. But... that beautiful blue bottle, makes me want to dig again. Thank you.
Happy coincidence. Just happening to have them at the ready, each time a beer bottle came out I took a drink of beer and every time a whiskey bottle came out, I took a sip of whiskey. I enjoyed this video considerably.
Loved the blue bottle with stopper...omg...you guys are so knowlegable...thanks for videos.
enjoyed your video thanks
no, thank you! and thanks for commenting, it helps our channel grow!
I love watching you pull treasures out of the ground! But I never get to see them cleaned up. I would really like to see how those things are cleaned and how they can be used again, or not, and how theyare displayed. Maybe you could do a video on that ? To see if you can put pieces back together, and if and how they can have a use again for another hundred years. In the meantime I'll keep watching you dig! ❤❤❤😂😂😂
You don't talk about how much reaserch and talking to people to be permitted to dig a spot... Your knowledge of the old glass containers is a learned skill that separates the amateur and the true pros.... Enjoy your success and unusual finds... Thanks again for the adventure.... 🌼🌼🌼
Great dig with some beautiful pieces of different items. Thank you for sharing 👍👏💖
47 min!? Hell yeah.. awesome video guys!
haha glad you're excited. hope you enjoyed. thanks for commenting
This was an epic dig !!!! Had my son and me on the edge of our seats..... jelly
hahaha awesome! glad you were entertained! Thanks for leaving us a comment!
This is my favorite video so far: the Yukon Rainier sample beer, the Ayers WITH STOPPER(!), and the snuff bottle are all so very unique as well as pristine. The fact that you found an intact lantern and teapot is amazing. Cool beans!!!
Great finds as usual! Just so you are aware, the Chamberlain & Co bottle fragment is actually older than shown here. Chamberlain & Company switched their name to Chamberlain Medicine Company in 1892, only keeping the old “Chamberlain & Co” name on their bitters products. All other bottles (as far as anyone knows) post-1892 had the “Chamberlain Med Co”, thus making this fragment date to 1892 at the latest.
oh wow. ah i had some suspicions that some of the bottles in the pit seemed to be earlier than the rest.. yeah there were a few in there that were like a decade older than everything else.. theres probably another pit on that property too.. well thanks for letting us know, all these companies are kinda hard to research. thanks for watching!
Awesome bottle pit🖤🤎💜💙💚💛🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾
yeah i know, that was a really good one! thanks for leaving us a comment!
I love the ones with writing and identification; I wonder if they realized their bottles would survive this long!!!! I'm sure they were just getting them into the hands of buyers, but some of those were sturdy buggers. Perhaps thicker glass? Perscriptions, medications, snake oils of all variety. My last doctor had a HUGE collection, and they were fascinating!
oh thats really cool that a doctor had those old medicines.. thats one of the things i collect. i like the snake oils and the "cures" ..theres just something about them that just screams wild wild west. yeah i always think about that too, if they had any idea that someday their trash would be sought out and treasured. makes me wonder what we throw away today, that people in a 100 years will find interesting. thanks for watching! and leaving a comment
I have dug places like this in Chicago. In 2011, right across the street from Oprah's Winfrey studios they were putting in an apartment building and a friend and I decided to check it out. We dug 2 - 30 gallon coolers full of blob tops and a full crock that was in perfect condition. We started pulling out bottles on an angle and got scared that the hole might collapse on us and had to quit.
hahah yeah i know exactly what you mean. Yeah Chicago would be a great place to dig, if all the best spots werent cemented over! sounds fun tho.. we dont find a ton of blobs around here so when we do, especially a soda, then its a damn good day. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@BelowthePlains not just cemented over,downtown has thirty feet of fill over the 1840's.
Blue bottle is gorgeous
oh i know right.. it honestly doesnt look like its over 100 years old.. and that glass was just so clean looking. idk why but some bottles were made with a certain type of glass that when you pull it out of the ground, it looks like it was put there yesterday.. the mud just falls off and it doesnt get that ground iridescence.. thanks for watching and commenting!
I really like that you are using wooden probes and digging sticks since the bottles and so on will not be damaged .
Amazing finds! Love the channel, and description details!!! Keep it up!
ah thank you! well glad you like the channel. its a TON of work so im hoping it begins to pick up a little bit. well thank you for watching and leaving us a comment!
Excelent film,your presentation is great. Uk fan
Thanks bruv! thats awesome, thank you. its always great to get some reassurance that the quality of our videos is good enough to get people to come back. thanks for watching and leaving us a comment!
That hair tonic bottle was beautiful so amazed that came out whole ♥️👍👍👍👍🗝️🙂
yeah we ended up with 2 of them by the end of it.. it was in the end scene.. we had a lot more footage but the runtime was getting a little crazy. thanks for watching and leaving us a comment. take care!
Wow jackpot!! Great video🙏❤️
well thank you! and thanks for watching!
You amaze me how you continue to find these locations from old maps to what is there now. Incredible bottles, mostly intact. Favorite was the blue hair tonic with stopper. Great video😀👍
haha yeah.. we actually found this one on accident.. it was right next to that green brick house in yankton.. its that video of ours that got 200k views,. it was a different property and we wouldnt have even looked there, but we couldnt find the old pit on the other property. yeah we got really lucky finding this one. Yeah that pit had some amazing finds.. we actually had to cut a bunch of clips bc the run time was just getting too long. thanks man, we appreciate the comment!
Great video! I used to dig old bottles back in the early 1960's. The place I live at in a remote valley in the Death Valley Park system has a 150 year old dump where everyone dumped their trash. Ive taken out some pretty cool stuff. Theres another old dump at a very remote old gold mine cabin tbat was built in 1872. The cabin still has the wood burning Sunshine Bread Oven brought to the cabin in 1882. The dump has dozens of old Log Cabin Syrup cans in the shape of a log cabin with the chimney pour spout. I havent dug in that dump yet, but I'm sure there's buried treasures to be discovered!
Love that your using wood to dig so you dont break the treasure and remove the dirt as you go💖
Pop's here. You are a good teacher. I'm beginning to be able to ID bottles a bit.
That blue lamp and soap dish was cool. Surprises me how many of these pits you find, just full, Wild!
I laughed when Jake says "that's mine" when you find the pen
Rainier beer is still made. You should send the company a picture of that little beer bottle.
Love seeing you have a great dig!
hahah yeah me too! i appreciate that. thanks for watching
@@BelowthePlains You are welcome!
Nice finds boys. Wow that pen is actually pretty cool. I come across the occasional bakelite piece, but it's usually just a stem to a tobacco pipe. Keep up the good work and keep the videos rolling out
yeah it was probably one of my favorite things from that site.. but it was overall just a really good dig site. thanks for watching, and yeah we intend to keep them coming. take care
WOW! BEST find on UA-cam!
hahah thanks man! appreciate you always commenting. take care dude
@@BelowthePlains when will there be another guest appearance of the long-haired homeless guy?
Love your style of filming, digging, editing, everything.
Just so you know, those nurser bottles can be embossed from local drug stores. Also that trial Rainier is a great bottle! The only ones I ever dug was in Tacoma! He is a long way from home! Those Ayers are a great bottle as well! Hard to find too! Great stuff!
yeah we had to look up that little beer bottle. that thing is so unbelievably cool, i was pretty excited about that one. ive dug a few ayers bottles before but theyre usually just quite simple bottles compared to the ones we found in this pit. and i did not know that about the nurser bottles. good to know, ill have to keep a look out for that, hopefully i didnt miss one before. thanks for leaving us a comment! and thanks for watching
Good job adding the old adds to your finds.
well thanks! yeah it took some time to figure out with the editing and it takes FOREVER but.. ya gotta stand out somehow so i think the extra work is worth it. thanks for leaving us a comment
Great dig. That Ayer’s bottle was fantastic. I collect cobalt glass so I’m partial to that.
yeah that cobalts a cool color. probably the rarest color (other than bromoseltzers).. we actually spent aboutt 5 years in south dakota trying to find a cobalt blob soda thats probably the rarest bottle in the dakotas, only 3 known and they arent in great condition.. we found a piece of one, but we didnt even find 20% of the bottle in the entire pit, but i think tom still has it.. and yeah those aye's are super cool, we found a third one but it was in pieces. well thank you for watching and leaving us a comment!
I was looking over a few bottles I have and came across tiny blue Vicks bottle an inch tall half inch wide an a little over a quarter inch thick. I have a few nice blue bottles a 2 inch round, a 3 inch tall 6 sided one and a tall thin-necked one about 4 inches tall, I have three green 6 sided bottles marked "not to be taken" and a round one also some amber also a slecton of ink wells.Must say I love the blues.
I love your video's. You never know what you'll find.
oh wow, im only half way in so far and this pit already seems to be a jackpot! great video, thanks for sharing. stay safe out there
well thank you! yeah we're being careful out there but i appreciate the concern. thanks for leaving us a comment
Some lovely bottles recovered well done on the finds
Love blue hair bottle ! Sweet
oh i know. its so cool!!
Very Cool
Thanks!
Nice - Thanks ! - Luc / Brussels
So refreshing to see treasures being unearthed with a wooden stick. You are an impressive archeologist, doing research on possible sites and offering spot on information about your finds. I was surprised to see how young you are. Good work! I am subscribing.
Only made it 6 minutes in the vid so far, and I absolutely love that sample beer bottle. Very cool find, never expected to see so many intact bottles come out of the ground. 👍😎👍
well enjoy i hope you enjoyed the rest of the video! and yeah, ive found quite a few sample beer bottles on them, but never anything with embossing on it like that.. well thank you for watching and leaving us a comment!
Just found your channel and I must say, you guys have some of the best bottle digging videos out there. Very good camera work, nice history info, and very calming. You don't freak out like a lot of other channels I watch. Keep up the good work!
I absolutely enjoy watching you find antique bottles, etc.
A great addition to your channel would be to show your “finds” before and after they’re cleaned. Fascinating.
Incredible Ayers bottle.
oh i know! and we found 2 of them.. second one was at the very end but we didnt add some of the bottles we dug out bc the runtime was getting a little crazy. thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome finds congratulations have a great day brother
That was Awesome!!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing i just love watching your videos
💚
That Rainier Beer was Great, I used to live in Seattle, that whole factory is apartments now,
Sweet........ That was definitely a pit that just kept on giving. And surprising how much of it was all intact yet. My favorites of course the colored Ayers bottles. And the lamp base, as well as the pitcher. When I saw that crock at first I was thinking please, please let it be intact.............. But alas..........
Super video today guys. As always I loved it. :)
yeah we find a ton of crocks.. it always seems like 99% of the time they're broken but when we find a pit with a fully intact one, we usually find at least 1 or 2 more. idk why but all the unbroken ones we get seem to come in bulk.. most of them arent like super rare or valuable but there are ones from up here that have "redwing" stamped on them (from redwing minnesota) and those ones are super collectable. yeah that was a really awesome pit, we actually had a bunch more footage of it but the video was getting a little long. well im glad you liked the video, and we really do appreciate you leaving us a comment again. take care
@@BelowthePlains Yeah, back in the day my grandparents had a couple of the Redwing. Think they got them at farm auctions over time. I know they was a highly desired name. Sadly time took it's toll and no longer in the family. Still got some old ones, but no Redwings. Anyhow, as always I loved the video. Great content seeing our past come to surface again.
Some of the videos, if they get too long.......... but have more interesting finds then maybe make a part 2.
I know I wouldn't mind a part 2 and I bet your other followers would agree. :)
Wow, what a load of nice finds ! I love the little beer bottle, great vidio !
Yeah that was one of my favorites! i collect small bottles and that one was something i had never seen before. well thank you. we appreciate you leaving us a comment!
Video just fine. Glad to see such history being preserved. Hope your summer is going well.
yes it is! well thanks, i was kinda stressed out about it. seems like we just have technical problem after technical problem and this one was just a dumb mistake. take care and have a great summer yourself!
Whoever lived there definitely enjoyed drinking! Cool finds!
Very impressive. You guys amaze me more with every video. Thank you for taking me with you. From Ohio.
ah thank you man! thats so nice. it always makes my night going thru my comments bc everyone is so kind! well thank you, and have a great day!
Tips for good digging from an old girl (in my 70's) ... beside railways when in the day they simply dumped all along the tracks, in rivers and lakes. Old cellar holes and at bargaps along the stone walls where the farms would dump their trash. Burned out old homesteads and places along trails. ALWAYS have permission from landowners and leave no open digs when done. Enjoy and RESPECT THE LAND.
Great cache. My favorite was the olive oil bottle. Thank you.
Wow some really awesome stuff in that dig.
Great job! Your guy’s enthusiasm for the whole thing really comes through.
my grandmother always had Watkins Lineament around. That brings back some memories
Yee-Haa!! Great video. Wonderful old finds. That looked like a good haul to me.
hahaha yeah it was! i only wish they could all be that full. we almost didnt even dig it because when we probed it for some reason, we didnt hit very much glass. might have to go back to that site and look for an earlier pit. well thanks for watching and commenting!
My first time watching one of these digging videos...very interesting. My biggest takeaway...people really liked their drink! lol!
Lol yeah i know! you have no idea how many liquor bottles ive found.. they seem to make up over half of every bottle we find. Well i hope you liked the video! This pit was a little more full than they typically are, so i feel it was one of our stronger videos. Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment!
Chef Annie would LOVE to have that teal Ayers hair vigor !!
Love that blue bottle!😍
❤ your videos, thank you for sharing.
Really enjoying watching you find all these different bottles. Their all awesome finds. Some rarer then others I suspect. Glad I found your stream. Thks👍
Well im glad you found our channel too! yeah obviously the liquor bottles are super common, as you can see by the way we found about 50 of them in 1 pit, but yeah, there was a few bottles in that pit that neither of us had come across before. like that little amber sample beer bottle. Well thanks for watching and leaving us a comment!
Just Amazing, I'm running around my house showing everyone in my house what your pulling out lol Fantastic haul, great bottles some I got so so excited about Thanks for sharing 👍
haha wow thats awesome! glad to hear you liked the video! thanks for leaving us a comment!
That Raineer bottle is really awesome and unusual
yeah i know!
You just amaze me.
You're just a kid and you are so knowledgeable about everything you pull out of the ground.
I am so very impressed.
Honestly all the little pieces and parts that you probably can't keep or won't keep you should put into one of those glass lamps that just to show off stuff... And sell them.... Pieces that have words on them or whatever and chunks of pottery I think people would love to have that... The reason I say that in Florida whenever we would find arrowheads would always find flakes where the Indians were doing Flint napping and you would just naturally pick up all the flakes and my aunt wanted them for just that same exact thing... FYI... I love this channel!!😄
What a great dig! I would love to have taken the broken china to use in projects.
I was thinking the same thing. You could bag it up and sell it per pond, maybe.. or something like that…
One of your vids popped up in my lineup so I thought I’d give it a look. Very cool stuff!! Glad I decided to watch it through. This one’s actually the second one I’ve watched. Really enjoying just sitting back and watching what comes out of the past.
Subscribed after watching this vid.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. So very interesting. I loved the information you gave on the Companies. The blue Cold Cream bottles are blue milk glass. Will you sell me the first perfume bottle you dug up? I collect those.
Those folks did indeed like their beer !!!
Siiiicccckkkk bottles!! I love finding small business bottles from small towns, I have found a few drug store bottles from a town around my area!! Definitely worth the trip and dig!!
Great video, thank you again!! :-)
That blue container is so pretty
Absolutely insane awesome bottle dig. Great job guys! 👍🇨🇦✌️
Nice bottles I love the blue ones and the tiny beer and the poison. It definitely looks like someone had a drinking problem.
My mother in law was from South Dakota and ended up living in Tacoma. 😀
oh wow, i was just in tacoma last fall doing research on a book on bottles! my first time to washington.. god that place was beautiful! i like south dakota, but i think id rather live in washington state! thanks for watching
My mom worked for Rainier Beer when I was a kid. That bottle is amazing!
Well done guys! Good haul !
Im new. I just found you today. I love small bottles.I like the 1915 bottles.I also love the colored bottles also. Im PatriciaPierce from Lewisville Ohio. Im 66 ys. And cant walk now due to bad hip bones. I ll be watching and learning from you. Thanks
