- I know, I know; it's been a good long while since BottleNed & friends scored a HEAVY. But we're all in it for the history, right ?? Okay, admittedly, it would also feel good to dig an INSANELY RARE GIANT IRON PONTILED PICKLE JAR FROM THE EARLY 1850s. Well, there's some good news waiting for you on that desert horizon, partners. BottleNed, along with Mexican Mark, Chip the Chip & Marcos Junior have made this happen...and filmed it for your viewing pleasure ! That's right - here is a guaranteed UA-cam first; the EXTRACTION OF ONE OF THE MOST INSANE ANTIQUE BOTTLES YOU'VE EVER LAID EYES ON. I mean, where else can you find this caliber of content ?
BottleNed has made this his full-time job. My objective is to share the excitement, dangers, & historical information gained from my digging adventures for everyone to enjoy & learn from. But I need some serious help paying basic bills along the way. Please click this link & consider becoming a Patron. Even $5/month helps !! Thank You !!

CORRECTION: 29:15 This doll is NOT what is traditionally known as a "Frozen Charlotte" doll, because this was a larger doll that had articulating arms & legs. TRUE "Frozen Charlotte" dolls were entirely made of porcelain and therefore totally "frozen" & unable to move - hence the nickname they were eventually given ! Special thanks to @kennethstickney8819 for pointing that out !
CORRECTION: 44:43: Despite its name, Merchant's "Gargling Oil" was actually an external liniment for "man or beast", NOT used for gargling. What a misleading brand name !!! Special thanks to @raymccormick7114 for pointing that out !

Finally! I love everything about your channel...the humor, the history, the age and quality of the bottles and bringing the old west to life. Why you're not at the top of the charts is a mystery to me.
BEST MOVE YOUVE MADE ADDING PAIGE (the little red vixen) INTO YOUR CHANNEL. 🦊
Congrats to the Bottle Kings and Queen of California!!!! One hell of an exciting video folks! Many thanks for taking us along Ned!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The way you introduced Lou really made me laugh, Nice bottles to.
Thoroughly enjoyed that introduction to western bottle digging, very cool!
Super digs,wild finds and one lovely woman..
Love the probe ad
Best bottle digging vids there is! Killer pickle and Bottle Ned approved prob ad!
Hell yeah Ned. Long, short, dont care how long, i love all your videos sir. Thank you so much
That pickle is amazing!!! Absolutely loved this video.
I am definitely a fan. Always interesting and informative but best of all entertaining!!! You have a cast of characters like no other. Paige has a smile that makes the sun shine brighter!!! Bravo!
Awesome haul of old history.
Haha you crack me up. I think its a lickalotapus 😂 paige you are one lucky lady ❤
AMAZING DIGS!!!!!
That pickle is simply stunning!!
The UA-cam music in the background at 32:00 reminds me of watching metal detecting videos in 2016-2017
Great bottles from great holes!Good job lady & gents!❤
great hunt guys from rhode island good history lesson on bottels i live on the coast and find mine after big storms
Another great Bottle Ned and Paige video, ready to settle down and enjoy! LOVE THESE VIDEOS!! Love you both!!
Thank you !! Enjoy !!!
That's one bad ass bitters.🤯👍🤘freaking congrats
I am really diggen. privy page she is a Dish❤👍🍀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
learned about y'all from Nicola White.....Grand stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!
New sub here! Loved seeing all the treasures you found! Congrats!
Bottle Ned, I injoyed this video very much as all your videos are great and fun to watch.
Amazing dig. Incredible finds. Congrats guys!
Your channel vids are great, awesome work your duin,side kicks too,makes me want to get diggen👍 🤺
First time I have seen a bottle digger find a hangover cure bottle..Back in the day,that stuff must've been a big seller!!!
Your site is one of the few in this genre I can enjoy... Positive and lots of smiles 😁... Under the Plain out of The Dakota states is the only other one that I am able to watch without boredom...I subbed you guys too... Prosperity!!!!
Quick comment. Bottle Ned & Privy Poking Paige FTW 👍🤘
Super finds,,I love all your digs,,
Great video Ned you All make such a great team of savers of History! And you all work so hard at it ! Great finds !
What an amazing dig, nothing like the really old bot. Us easterners get to dig the colonial era bot, but we're lucky if we find it intact...
Nothing like an open pontil get us going !! That age definitely has a different vibe to it
I really like your videos. You don't mess with newer boring stuff , its always very old and good story line with the dig. I've been digging most of my life and it's getting impossible to find new digs without being thrown off the property. I live in mission country on the central coast and it's hot some very old areas but I've got to be sneaky to dig. If you ever come this way I'll take you to a spot where a Spanish ship sunk and stuff is on the beach if you know what to look for. When I was 13 I found 2 cannons that were 12 feet long. I'm the only person that knows where the anchor is still waiting to be plucked from 10 feet of water. I'm sure we would find some very incredible artifacts. I'm serious Need please come down and help me. I find lots of fossils and Indian artifacts on that beach as well. It's a very rich area for heart pounding artifacts. Bring your cool little red headed friend with you. I'll supply everything you need once you're here and take good care of you. Your show is the best one to watch it's very entertaining. I'm sure you can film a great video while checking my out my stomping grounds I'm so proud of. After all the floods last year things are washed out all over ready to be grabbed and loved. Common down and let's party!!
Hey Ned
Frank from Florida here!
Here's a hint that will make your concrete busting a whole lot easier!
Get a concrete saw and score the top of the concrete cutting lines across and up and down!
Make them about 2 inches deep! I'll guarantee you won't beat yourselves half to death trying to bust up the concrete!
Frank
Epic dig!
From Benicia, CA.
Thanks!
I never thought bottle Ned would be telling me not to stick my probe in a hole too many times
Not the same hole at least
Short or long, I’m still gonna watch.
I love the longer videos, keep making them. What a killer find, I have never seen a pickle like that one. I was a little nervous at the end when you were handling that bot over the concrete, LOL! Awesome video, looking forward to your next video!
It only took 50 hours to edit lol
@@BottleNedyou do a hell of a job!!!
Ned this was a fantastic video. What an amazing pickle bottle! 👍🇬🇧
I was a little hammered when I watched what I consider to be your finest video ever Ned and need to watch it a second time.Am I dreaming or were those the shards of the elusive and highly coveted and ultra rare B&P Whisky?
I know right? I believe the broken one I dug in the video was an embossed but I definitely saved that top and neck just in case I come across one that needs a new one, not to jinx it I hope the entire bottle is there when I find it though ha ha ha
In all my years doing this, I've never seen a bottle like it. Wow!!
Just found u, saw the awesome bottles and the beautiful redhead and had to sub, shared u with 5 other friends
Thanks brotha !!
love your videos. Have you considered making a video of your favorite bottles from yours or other diggers collections? (at a neutral location of course to discourage break ins from the have nots)
A lot of the great botts I’ve found are in private museums of high end collectors. I am definitely planning on spotlighting some of the good ones in future videos !
Absolutely awesome video 😎😎🙏
If you would have told me, ten years ago, that I would genuinely enjoy watching people dig up old outhouse pits to retrieve the trash thrown into them… I would have laughed at ya… but here I am. Lol… fascinating stuff! 🤷♂️🤯💪
It’s a verified addiction, I tell you !
Considering the rarity of that pickle. How much would it be worth? I really love the videos you make! Keep it up and I wish you all the most prosperity. 😉
Highly recommend Old West Bottles Probe’s. I love mine. Not sure if he mentioned. He makes any length you want.
15:00 would be cool to confirm it being a nail (or at least a piece of metal) and run a pin-pointer metal detector over that spot to see if it reacts
Good call! It might be iron slag though so may set off the detector anyway….something to think about for sure
All i need to know is why are they blowing glass in their jammies ! 😱
Ned, I was an avid bottle collector back home in New Zealand for years but now I live & work in Australia I don't have time to go out. what's the chance in me coming over to America and having a scratch around with you and your crew?... thanks mate. 😉👍
My uncle lives in Auckland !
Those black glass bottles are Brandy, the fashionable spirit of that time.
They were generics from the glass houses that probably ended up being filled with many different alcohol products
@@BottleNed Yes, some black glass contained Sasparilla but mostly Brandy. Whisky and especially Bourbon was hard to come by in California in the1850s and 60s because of the grain and corn infrastructure need to create the mash bills.
Grape vines are easily transported and grow very well in our climate which made Brandy readily available and affordable to the masses during the early days of the gold rush.
This is why we find black glass in our older privys. Whiskys and Bourbons were far more prevalent in the 1880s and 90s when the SF trade routs were well established.
The 50s and 60s Patent bottles contained Whisky mainly brought in from the east.
@@roccovolpendesta7032 There were millions of bottles full of imported products, including liquor products being shipped to SF from all around the world starting in the earliest days of the CA Gold Rush. Virtually all bottles you dig in 1850s context in CA contained imported products. Whiskey (whisky) came from the south and from Europe, with a manufacturing hiatus during the Civil War and then a maxi surge in the late 1860s lasting until prohibition. Most reputable whiskey at the time was "OK" (Old Kentucky) & was shipped to sf in barrels and bottled there.
I don't think those are nails in the glass Ned. I bet you it's a wire from a hefty duty wire brush they used to clean off the surfaces they used to work the glass.
Most ppl think they’re nails but I have my doubts too. My best guess is coiled up slag. But I like your idea also !
Haven't seen a hole like those since the early 1970's
Yall should come to PA. I have thousands of acres of colonial metal detecting permissions with multiple privy sites that have never been done. Been looking for somebody to kind of show me the ropes in trade for a chance at colonial glass.
I love the errors like backwards letters and upside down slugplated. One of my favorite in my colletion is an open pontiled Mexican Mustang Liniment. All 4 N’s are backwards. It’s the only one I am aware of. I loved the bold monogram on the Stockton bitters. That pickle was killer.
It always amazes me that someone could hire someone to make a mould and then when they give them the finished product with spelling and grammar errors, they just accept it, pay the person, and blow the botts using the mould ! Unbelievable
@@BottleNed Illiteracy was a problem also working long hours probably was the culprit. Doesn’t make the bottle anymore valuable but it is unique and some do collect them and are will to pay more.
great dig ned!! wonderful iron pontiled beauty!! oh yeah how much do you want for the girl?
😂😂😂
I have some glass chunks like that.
i want that Almaden vinchy ! where did you dig that beauty? love your vids
Actually dug two of those…in the tightest soil imaginable. This large one was cemented in the solid clay cap of the sparsest privy I’ve ever seen. I probed down into the hole and felt a bottle explode and it turned out there was a Florida water bott above the quart-sized Vichy that I had pierced through instead…got lucky !!
Hello Ned how about sending some of the glass shards and dish shard's ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🗝️
That stuff is great! I save the interesting plate shards because I know they could somehow be used creatively. And the beautiful glass I save to make mosaics out of. If you’re interested in any of it you can DM me on Instagram at BottleNed_Diggs_the_old_west
Great finds ! Also, is there a way we can donate one time via paypal, or other ways ?
Appreciate it ! You can enter my email address into PayPal, which is thenedc@gmail.com
And I think Patreon has a one time donation option too!
EPIC"""
Hey man bottles hurting 😂
Cool
I have a few bottles you might be interested in a co-bolt blue fish bottle. How do you know where to dig? That place looks modern.
😂😂
I’ll take the fishs infallible hair restorative off your hands but pls keep the repro fish shaped cost plus bitters to yourself 😂😂.
Yeah the architecture on the site is modern but the old maps showed older structures there beforehand
awesome finds Ned and Paige... curious are you and Paige an item as in together? cuz if so we here all think your a lucky guy lol she's very pretty and into bottle digging she's a keeper for sure. cheers!
All I can say is that as soon as I dig up a ring I’m planning on shooting my shot & proposing !! You’re right - what a badass chick !!
@BottleNed awesome thats amazing. You two vibe well, and she really makes for a great addition to your channel
Yeess keep Paige on the pay roll plus more AIR time and lets hear her sign a punk song!
That's odd because crusty Chucky the clown told me that Pretty Paige was his sweet little gal? He might have been delirious though as it was shortly after I ran over him with my bottle cart at the Santa Rosa show.😩 @@7000fps
Page is very cute!! so cute she's Beautiful!!
Very unique-looking
@@BottleNed does she know what you think?
i bought a prob last year from old west bottles , i had to order over phone and ended up ordering from his wife, i assume, GREAT PROBE
That’s LisaLou; the wife of GOD
Buh buh bizzotles
I would love to purchase a pontil Winslow. How much would one be? Don't ever type in what you were calling them I almost got banned from UA-cam
Lol Mrs Guysomething, right ? Prices on those depend on crudity and whether or not they have a pontil scar. If you see anything in the videos you like, you can msg me on Instagram @bottlened_digs_the_old_west
I got a coupe of Lou's probs. Top notch equipment 😎
Hollywood spends millions making way less entertaining films. Y'all rock!
Only left 2 things out of the awesome probe commercial price, and lengths cause size does matter....
Lou will make any length you want and price depends on that and you can always contact him and he will get right back to you! But thank you and the next commercial I will list price by the foot
How do you divide up the bottles or money, etc?
Put everything into a big pot, keep growing the pot for a couple years and then when you go to split it everyone gets something cool
Come on Ned That's not a frozen Charlotte doll. That porcelain head would belong to an articulated German doll.
Yes - articulating appendage doll commonly mistakenly called a Charlotte! The real “Charlottes” are full porcelain body!! Even though there is debate on whether or not anybody called them Charlottes in the 1800s. I will add that detail in description!! Thank you !!
Yes the story of Frozen Charlotte is rather romantic and tragic if it is to be believed!
I wish there was confirmation that they were called Charlottes back in the day, but I’ve read that no one can find mention of them being called by that name in texts of the period - similar to tear catcher vials !!
A Corpse Going to the Ball 1841 by Mrs. Seba Smith about a vain girl going out one New Years Eve and not wrapping up because she didn't want to cover up her pretty gown
@@kennethstickney8819 Yes but there is no text from that period linking the story to the dolls. These dolls were first referenced as "Frozen Charlottes" in the mid 20th century.
Eleanor St. George’s 1948 book, "Dolls of Yesterday":
"The name “Frozen Charlotte” … seems to be a comparatively recent name. Since doll collecting has become so popular, many doll legends have grown up which have no firmer basis than the fancies of some imaginative collector or the desire of some dealer to enhance the interest and value of his wares. Certainly, when this writer, in common with all the little girls of the neighborhood, played with these dolls and made extensive wardrobes for them, the tiny ones were called “penny dolls” and the larger ones were known simply as “twenty-five-cent dolls.”"
Probes with a maglite handle. Gotta think multi use
Omg i would so love to dig with you i am so into history andi have metal detected since i was 6 due to be taught by my father who was a historian and archaeology buff and helped rIse henry the eigths mary rose ship ! I cannot tell uou how mucb that would mean to me
look at that goofy pickle jar. i thought you were gonna dig something good....pffffttt. 😂
Hydrated lime it's the shit you don't think about.
SNOOP cereal !!! 😂😂
Reminds me of that dollar store weirdo cleaning product; “LA’s Totally Awesome!!” Wtf
Bottle-Neck-Ned, I just found your channel, Great Videos and you’re also Funnier than Fuck ! Thanks for your hard Work !
Messin with a redhead while she has a weapon in her hand is not advisable!!! 🤕
MORE Paige!!!!
Is there a reason why you didn't use a jack hammer?
We did ! (For the last hole anyway)
Hey Bottle Ned, how do I re enroll your patreon ? My card expired. By the way I sent you a comment and it doesn't show it. Fantastic video and I love the pickle jar. Who got the mustard jar? Willing to sell? Hope you can help me get back on your Patreon. Take care.
Hi Deb ! I would just click on the button “become a patron” and then enter in all the info they ask. Maybe you signed up for a year and then it expired ? And I emailed you about sauce bottles you said you wanted but didn’t hear back - I’ll try again !
You need to add retail prices on the screen next to the bottles. That way people will see that every bottle is not expensive, and they can get into the hobby very cheaply.
Got a major H O watching that killer pickle cumin to the light of the day.
Was it as good for you as it was for me? Lol
Gargling oil was not a mouthwash. It was a liniment for man and beast, but mainly for horses.
Thank you ! I’ll add to description! Now I’m searching for why in the world the brand used the word “gargling”…!
@@BottleNed yeah, that always made me wonder! That was the first thing I thought it was when I dug one of those bottles!
I wonder if anyone will ever dig up my garbage in 150 years… I’m gonna start putting little notes in plastic bags in every sprite bottle or monster can I throw away. “I drank this monster energy drink on 00/00/2023 and went to work this job I hate. May it bring you more joy than it brought me” or something like that. 🤷♂️😂😂😂
I DIG page❤😉😍
Back then men would go to the privy to sneak a drink the toss the bottle down the hole.
See if you can grow the seeds.
who got the first pick ?
hahah no one - that would be too unfair !
Ok Ned….
It’s time to clean up yourself. We know you’re a construction worker that gets very dirty and sweaty and your car looks like you live in it but on occasion you shower and change your clothes. So get a haircut, shave and put on some nice duds and show the world you’ve got style !!! Yep I said it😮😮😮
If you’re ever in the pismo beach area give me a shout and I’ll bbq some awsome tri tip and garlic bread. Wooo woop woop. Oh and I can’t forget the good old fashioned moonshine and homegrown I produce it’s bomb!!
I know I know - I’ve definitely tried to keep it clean but you know what the next dig ruins all that progress really fast! And so it’s very easy to get stuck in a perpetual dirtiness loop. But I’ll be sure to wear a tux when I go out to a steak dinner and celebrate finding that pickle bottle lol
Hey Ned start a "give send go" account or something similar, I love your work and would gladly chuck some money your way when I've got it to help you keep making videos but Patreon is weird, and I don't like signing up to reoccurring payments.
I’ll look that up - thank you!
Paige, do you have your own youtube channel?
How does he know where to dig.
In the older towns, there is usually a city map and it includes designated outhouse / disposal pit locations.
X marks the spot (Indiana Jones).
Who got the pickle?
Not me lol
What's a cobbler?
Person who fixes shoes! On the list of the 19th century jobs that don’t exist much anymore lol
@BottleNed ok, thank you
I would love to see you and Paige at Wendy's eating have Paige dress up like Wendy.
Lol it’ll be worth the stomach ache
Is " crudity" a word?
Yes
Japanese or Chinese is not read from the right to the left, it's read from the top to the bottom.
Not prayer flags. Chinese joss paper to be burned for ancestors.
Why is everything on you tube ,insane, shocking, unbelievable ,you to got to see this etc ?
potstone crack in pickle i seen
Go dig one lad.
@@terrybach4856 i bought a case with full bloody labels mate!! no cracks
Lol a case of pontiled figural WD smiths in fire aqua…did you catch the worlds biggest fish the same day ??
@@BottleNedno not fish, just a cobalt blue biningers banana juice in a 1950's farm dump next too the ark of the covenent
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Reminds me of the time I dug three cobalt cone Bryant’s bitters bottles and then took a picture of them and then dropped the bottles and then accidentally deleted the pictures and then lost the shards 😂😂😂
