Appreciate your hard work. Y’all are a refreshing difference on the usual YouTube foolishness… Keep it up!ππβοΈππ
What’s the oldest pit you ever dug?
How do you go about getting a permission like that? How do you approach them?
Great finds!
How old does buried glass have to be before it gets the iridescence? I started digging a part of my backyard today and though I havn’t found any whole bottles yet I’ve found the top of a bottle the bottom of something I guess was a bottle but the glass is SO thick several pieces of broken window glass part of a lamp shade and some cool broken plates and saucers but all of the glass is iridescent and so I am curious about how long at a minimum it takes for that to happen.
Just wow.
Working third shift, enjoying some incredible history. Best wishes.
I have enjoyed all of the videos I have seen . Would you do a tutorial on molds , bottle necks , bases, applied tops etc identifying the particular process and there ages. This would be so informative . Maybe a project on a rainy day . It would be appreciated, especially to us visual learners ! Lol
Do you get to keep these finds
Can you keep what you find ir dies the city consider it property of the town
Cool finds!
Love that historic flask !! nothing like that in australia, so many historical flasks and awesome old and embossed bottles.
How much is the clasped hands bottle worth? Do you sell any of your finds?
I found a blue version of that flask over here in northern Wisconsin! So cool for you to find one. Itβs my most prized bottle!
At 3:47 theres a bottle labeled Hoster Col, O. I have the same bottle, and was wondering if you would be able to share any info on it if you do have any
Watching from Slovakia π
Wow wow wow!!!ππππππ
Lorenz and Wightman clasp hands flask, Pittsburgh, Pa. which was the largest glassblowing center in America in the nineteenth century. We’ve dug a variety of different historical flasks by different Pittsburgh glass manufacturers over the years. We’re about 25 NW down the Ohio river from Pittsburgh. We’re in a great area for privy digging and have dug a number of flasks in some really cool, great colors over the last 30 years. Happy digging guys.
I would love nothing more than to restore that ax headπ
I think this is your best video and exploration to date. Certainly historically important on a national scale I believe if it can be proven to be the refuse from the actual Cogan House,; he 1870’s items really are amazing;
Some awesome finds coming out
What was the final destination for that historic bottle?
Hi, this was really interesting thanks for sharing. I’m a relative of Bridget Cogan and love learning any family history that I can. I hope to visit the area someday and visit the Graves of her and family and learn more if I can sometime.
Excellent. Thanks for sharing! π Those are excellent finds! The "clasps hands" bottle especially. Wow!
Always very interesting your channel. Thank you.
Great video Jake and Tom. You could probably get at a big company being producer.
Nice!
Congrats on historical flask!
Wow, good day,
A great video! Loved the find!
Cool finds as usual!
You guys sure do a lot of digging! Interesting to watch.
That would have been a great historic site for an actual archaeological excavation…or it would have been till it got trashed.
Awesome ππππππ
Epic finds!! (Historical flask, axe head and claw pipe-WOW). Loved the history as well. Dr Hall’s Balsam lingo…what a hoot!! Entertaining as usual. THANK YOU!!
No, not for me. Watch Time Team to see how it is done properly. This is indeed nothing more than treasure hunting

Tom is Sexy !
That memorial flask is very rare…. Never saw that before…
Iβm really curious how you get all these permissions!!
What is that flask worth?
? pΝrΝoΝmΝoΝsΝmΝ
What do you use to probe sites and decide where to dig?? I heard you say you probed spots and I’m curious now
Great finds
The only reason I believe it is because your consistent truthful and honest podcasts…π
Would have liked to have seen the historical flask after it was cleaned up.π
How do you determine weβre to dig ?
Great Job
Would live to see that flask cleaned up!
Sorry, I hit thumbs down instead of up, but I corrected it! Love your videos!
More cool things rescued
