And where is the caches?
First I have enjoyed and still enjoy watching your videos. Second how do you know that you will find anything where the outhouses were? Also why don’t you sell some of those antique bottles to fund your activities? Many people would purchase them today just to help pay the bills.
Aren’t you ever worried that the hole may collapse because of the dirt you have dug out or since some hole’s you dug are from an outhouse that the outhouse hole was reinforced when being dug ? It look’s kinda scary to be in a hole so far down into the ground but then again what you find in the hole is worth digging a hole for so I guess in a way it doesn’t matter because you are digging up history ‼️👍🏻😊
So I assume there’s no bacteria down there, after 100+ years?
It is amazing the amount of medicines/bottles that are found. I know most of them contained alcohol as a base ingredient that everyone wanted back then. Have a great day and wear your gloves in those pits.
I live in Bridgewater sd have a 1860 property on 2 acres let us know if you’d wanna come dig or metal detect we had found back an forth letters from the Sioux uprisings in Sioux Falls 1863 inviting women to live in the home to service the men in the area
12:08 Looks like a coin at the edge of where the bottle just came out of and other pieces of interest along the way. I find more small pieces of interest packed in the dirt & ash like old jewelry, sm buttons, metal furniture corners, just too much to list. Maybe someone can hand sift what you dig out while you’re looking for larger pieces.
He’d have hit red clay mud by now around here
Ever find corporolites?
I used to do this 20 years ago the pit i was digging was used until 1890. Made quite a bit of money as a kid. I would even find morphine bottles. Very few had any labels left after 100 plus years buried its a dirty job but worth it. Pretty cool you got a green one ive found them in clear blue green and a odd yellow colored one some brown.
Do you throw the broken back into the hole?

Great adventure, thanks for bringing us alongon your adventures,probobly spend couple hours with the property owners after the filming is done seeing what you found
You look extremely tired ‼️
Love the historical photos as well!
its illegal to use a legal name
read & share the BCCRSS
call before you dig……………
I have to admit to a fair amount of anxiety when you are so far down in the pit! Stay safe!
You find so many extract bottles. What kind/flavor would have been in them? I thought extract was more of a modern baking ingredient.
awesome bottles brother ! where is the full video of the exploding bottle ? that was crazy and how i discovered your channel from your video of it on Facebook. new sub and keep um coming 💥👍🤠🏴☠️
Do you think that since it was dug out so deep for the bottom line that that was why much was broken? It’s true that it is their trash, broken things are found there but other digs have had more pieces intact.
Did you ever find any money or good coins ?
U know old homesteads had a dump area usualy 5 to 6 ft down or ur digging up old out house
Sure was a lot of people that used the shitter to get rid of bottles
hi Tom and jake just subscribed to your channel I find it very enjoyable watching just been looking at the old videos I like the history of the places you go and finding out about date’s of the bottles all the best Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧
My Great Aunt had so many awesome Antiques one item she had ( my sister has now ) is a necklace with something like a cameo hanging from it it’s made of human hair ( someone in my family ) and it’s in a beautiful frame and it’s very old but I don’t know how old. Year’s after my Great Aunt passed away my mother didn’t want to box up her Antique’s anymore ( they moved a lot ) and had people in my family come and pick out what they wanted and then she had a auction with the rest of them I couldn’t come over and pick out what I wanted the Antique item’s she had were awesome the family member’s who picked out what they wanted really didn’t care about them being antique they just liked the way they looked and that’s it. When I think about those Antique’s especially the auctioned off one’s it’s sad because they were passed down through the family so far back it’s sad that other people who weren’t family have thing’s that they don’t know the history of I started thinking about them watching your video’s because a lot of the item’s you find in the ground are something that isn’t in our family anymore. I love anything old I love the way they look I love the history of them I love really old house’s just everything old I love‼️❤️ now I’m old and I don’t have anything to leave my daughter that was passed down from generation’s ago when I think about not having anything it makes me sad because no one who has any of them doesn’t know the history or the value nothing so I’ll just watch you dig up beautiful Antique’s from hole’s in the ground and wish I had one of each ‼️‼️ 👍🏻😊
I found the cure to insomnia!!! Put this channel in some of those bottles man. You’ll be rich in a week
Only ever dig up bottles…that’s not very interesting.
Why don’t u tell us how much each bottle is worth as u pull them out?
It is amazing, handling the soil from that era. Do you ever get asked for samples to test?
what do you do with all the stuff you dig up?
My Mom used to have a cannonball found in the driveway of the family farm in Eastern Kansas. Really enjoy your channel ❤️
Stay safe and take a garden holes in dug out so you can breathe if dirt collapse in on you.
I absolutely Love Watching You Dig, and your knowledge of all you unearth is astounding. Continue digging because I will continue to watch
How do you determine the exact spot where you want to dig? I love watching your videos, and seeing things people used so long ago still intact in many cases. History and culture unveiled.
Do you ever open up and a least smell the contents of the corked bottles you find?
Hi Tom and Jake, Have you ever found human bones in any of your digs or ancient artifacts?🍺😎🍺🌴🌴
Always a lot of sauces and Bromoseltzers. I’m sure they go hand in hand due to the meats not being on the freshest side so they covered it in sauce to cover the taste and after dinner they needed the Bromo to settle the stomach. Tough time to live but such a cool era in time. I’m glad I didn’t live back then when I think of having to deal with any sickness or medical procedures. Then the thought of having to wear layers of clothes with suits and hats nevermind what women wore.
How about a "pool noodle" put around propane line to prevent nicking/hitting it? Love your YT channel. Being an old druggist
from years ago . 🧡🌵
Wow! Being from Racine, I really appreciate that Johnson Wax bottle. 😄
Really soft dirt!
That’s the ultimate permission, we’d never get that dig near the propane tank here in California 😂
What’s tool top. And machine top mean
The home I live in my daddy built it back in 1947 I bought my family home back 7 years ago a couple of summers ago I discovered a bottle dump in the back of the property I was digging up all kinds of bottles, then a raddler snake was coming at me so my husband come to my rescue picked it up with a rake took a picture of it then let it go I haven’t gone back there since!
You’re the calmest… most informative person ever!!..what’s your background?…you started out in another job!.. please God let you be a Surveyor!!
There must have been a lot of illness in that boarding house to have so many extract bottles. My guess is that the one corner full of extract bottles so close together was probably from the same person treating an illness over a long period of time.
How come all your digs you find the same thing
Limojes is very expensive and beautiful.i have miniature ones.
Have you ever had an analysis done on the contents of those bottles still stoppered and containing contents?
Limoges plate… wow Heartbreaking to see that broken
Interesting video so I subed.
