WOW π€© great dig great stuff
New subscriber here. Have you ever made a video showing how you clean these bottles and what they look like all cleaned up?
Another great video and dig! Thank u for another adventure in ND history! π
The old Hollywood cowboy movies were pretty accurate about the consumption of massive amounts of whiskey… Not to mention the opium and heroin laced"folk remedies"… Very popular with the ladies… Helps stop "little Jimmy" from crying about the teething…. Zapped’em with a healthy dose of"Dr Feelgood’s miracle cure" for everything that ails you.β οΈ
I have a 3 seat outhouse and the only thing l toss down the hole is peat moss and wood shavings.
Love it when bottles come out unbroken.
How do you find out what the old bottles are worth? Do you sell what you find?
Sorry they smashed a lot of those bottles to make more room for feces. lol
It would be so awesome if you had a bottle Museum till about the bottle like you do as you’re pulling them out of the ground telling us I think it would be the coolest thing even some of them broken bottles that are way back from when you know I’d like to see some of the stuff that you have also glued back together some of them bowls and pictures
I love how you have the bottles identified practically as soon as your stick hits them! Did you study archaeology? You know so much, it seems that it is likely your chosen trade.
How EXCITING!!!!! If you come to the West side of North Dakota, could I come watch you dig?? There WAS a Rumor going around many years back of a family who had too many kids. As times went by and more babies born, they were taken to the Outhouse and disposed of
How do you know the exact dig spot? Besides having the general location from pictures.
That was a pretty darn exciting dig to watch! You got some real nice glass, especially the local druggist and the blood vitalizer bottle. Wow. Also wanted to comment on how good all the history you show with each town and each bottle. That makes it very interesting, learning history as you make the finds. Thanks a bunch Tom!!
Well the last few have had some treasures. Made up a bit from the ones that didn’t.
What do you do with all the bottles and finds? Do you have a museum room? I know you donate some back to the town’s museums.πΊππΊπ΄
This is so much fun to watch, please keep up the good content.
Hi BTP ππ»! That was probably one of the best and my most favorite extractions you have done. That hole kept on giving ! Loved it!!β€οΈ
Do you ever wonder about cholera or small pox when you’re diggin’ around in old privy’s? Just a thought I had the other day
wonderful. i smashed that like button harder than that family smashed their bottles!
Thanks for another entertaining and informative episode Jake and Tom!
Uncovered at 21:00, was that unusual "partial figural" bottle a dark amber color? (Difficult to determine from the video images sometimes when they are still dirt-encrusted.)
Do you think it originally held an imported wine, brandy or etc. and the shape was to make it distinctive in its home market? Or, do you think it might have been a "back bar" bottle? Some of the latter type were very ornate, even cut crystal, but others were less ostentatious.
Fun unusual finds, especially the Scotland, Dakota Territory bottle. It is interesting to imagine the area during that time period.
I loved looking in the woods at our farm site by Binford ND, When I was younger. found all kinds of mason jars and medicine bottles!
I wonder in all of the finds you have, have you ever run across any kind of honey jar? βFrom me to theeβ was their logo. That was out of Sioux City as well and was precursor to Sioux Bee Honey and had originally started by my family.
It seems a lot of these bottles where embossed which is nice.π
Have you found any jars with coin horde in them
another good dig Tom, thanks for taking us along. stay safe,God bless you brother
I was working on a "dude" ranch and the fellas took me and another girl, teens, when we took a lot of stuff to the local dump. Then watched as they shot up all the bottles and cans. Years later I remember that with the kind of regret knowing what treasures were being destroyed.
Way to go Tom! I can’t believe how much effort you put in by yourself between the digs and videos!
I want you guys to build a Bullet Mustang just so I can see Sam drive it in his wicked black suit and a skinny tie. Well done to the whole team.
What do u do with all Yr finds
So satisfying to find treasure almost every time ! Bottle digginβ is the shit !
I love your channel and all the information that you include. What do you do with all the broken bits? My son in law used to do bottle digs but is too busy with his job now. The place he dug was what had been a farming community that was taken over and a dam put in so all the old farms were bought out. He found some great things and even gifted me with a couple. I would have loved to go with him but lived too far away. My ex-husband was a scuba diver and instructor. He would take his class to outside of Port Townshend Washington. It had been a very old community built up at the beginning time that Seattle was new. The people would take their garbage out into the sound on a dock and tip it all in. My husband would find all kinds of wonderful stuff that was laying on the bottom. I even found some under some old buildings that were hanging over the water. Back, long ago. Doubt if that is allowed now, all grown up and touristy.
Sorry I keep commenting…I just enjoy the channel…. would you maybe have a show where you show the clean up?….maybe it’s just dish soap and water…..the ones that have a blown out shoulder…could you cork them and fill with clear acrylic to save them?..just spit balling ideas….do you sell the stuff?…etc…
Nice finds guys love that wine bottle!
I think any bottle that has territory on it, is pretty dam cool. Thanks for bringing me along
Tom, I appreciate and love how you give information on the bottles you find and especially dating the bottle. Knowing the history adds so much more to what you find. You are the most informative digger that I have came across. Thank you very much. New(ish) collectors like me need all the education we can get. Learning to date bottles has been my biggest challenge so far.
All right man, those are some really good bottles. Thanks for sharing the video, I look forward to the next one, and good luck digging
Awesome dig guys love the history
T y for share your beautiful, interesting video. Hello from Rome Italy
Awesomeness ππππππ
Sweet!!
Streator is about 100 milesfrom me…lol.
Nice!
Very cool!
The Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root is a nice looking bottle.
That creepy doll head made me stop and wonder! How’d it get here? lol!
A Nic collection!
What do you do with the small broken pieces when you’re done with the hole?
Hey, do you ever have glasses made out of the broken bottles you find? I have seen several that were very nice.
Could you tell me why you donβt dig bigger holes please π
Love watching your digs and enjoy the history info included as well!
