Do u get to keep what you find??
My 81 year old mother just loves watching your channel on her television. I arrived to help take care of her this week and my mom is suffering from beginning dementia. I introduced her to your channel just today. My mom now takes notes while you describe items you find. She is able to interact with you speaking out loud and she'll turn to me and ask questions. She remembers her father collecting and digging bottles in Stockton, CA in the 1950's. We appreciate how you always label every find you dig up along with the history. She gets a kick how you say, "Wow"! She laughs anytime you say it. Thank you for all you do!! ❤ It's truly a new activity for us to do together as well..
I really never imagined I'd find myself watching a guy dig up glass bottles from pits, but wow the things he finds. This episode was just incredible.

Nice original content. Never knew I was fascinated with antique bottles until I came across your channel. This is everything KZread should be.
My dad was born in Valley City in 1925, and my grandfather in Mandan in 1892, it's so fascinating watching your unearth such items in their old 'hood.. Bravo man, bravo.

That's what I'm talking about. When I was digging in the late sixties early seventies, that's the age we dug and earlier. Great dig. Thank you for the memories.

haha yeah. this is the age i would prefer to dig all the time lol. you just never know until your at the bottom. This weird thing happens around here where when we dig a pit, there is stuff thats like 20 years newer at the very top, and then all of the sudden it just drops 20 years in age. wonder if you noticed that? thanks for watching and commenting

Congratulations on finding such a good spot. I'm in my 60's and I'd still like to get out and go digging again. It is the most fun you can have with your clothes on!
👋 Tom and hi 👋 jake another good video you would not think that there had been people living there looking at the surrounding areas if it wasn't for you pair digging those old outhouse pits and finding all those bottles telling the history of early settlers and for a bonus finding the rare bottles specially 4of them well done all the best Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧

80 years ago, my folks bought an old farmhouse in a small town near Portland, OR. Dad filled in an old cistern and a well and an old outhouse. He used bricks and rocks and garbage etc. We lived in that house for 20 years and then moved to a newer home and sold the land. I imagine now what was in those old holes before he did the rest of the filling. Actually, there was one missed that my horse stepped in and both back legs went in. Luckily, she was able to pull herself out without injury. When I see all the treasures you pull out I think back and know there must have been old bottles and such. There is an apartment now standing where our old farm house used to be.
WOW! ONE OF THE CRAZIEST FINDS YET!

I really enjoy your videos. Several years ago my company was excavating a site downtown for a new building going up. I found several bottles and little crocks. The excavator operator kept getting mad at me because I would stop him every time I saw something. At another job we found a lot of Indian pottery from a local tribe that was in the area centuries ago.
What a great area to be able to dig in! The history of the town is what made it so special, it burned down before any of the pit's would have been dipped and cleaned out. I hope you find more in that area, this site is historical for sure!
Digging that second pit, the soil is gorgeous! No wonder the corn in the next field looks so great! I love your finds! They are fantastic!
I hollered "YES!" 🙌when you rolled that Redwing 3 Gallon crock over to reveal the gorgeous Bee-sting insignia on the front. Seriously ❤ I hope it gets pride of place... cheers from the Yukon🍁
I love watching to see what you dig up next, but also show us something a little different about your life. Show us how you get the glass home without breaking. Show us how you clean everything, and Show us your personal collection. I love the show!

I watch all of your videos, but the pits that date to before 1890 are always the best. that older stuff is just so damn pretty compared to to the stuff that came later on. its kinda weird how the bottles seemed to get less ornate as time went on. probably because of manufacturing reasons but still

Amazing bottles. The stone crock was awesome. Love the coffin flask All was awesome Tom. Cant wait till the next one
Wow so cool! That second pit was a lot of fun for me. Growing up near redwing minnesota...that crock is a beauty. My grandmother immigrated from Prussia, how cool to see the mineral water bottle.She traveled as a young girl,with her family, all over the Midwest working as migrant farmers. Eventually marrying my grandfather whos family owned a farm in ND. The family still farms large scale crop acreage near Makoti, where the original soddy is still preserved. Oh how I'd love to see you dig there. Love love your channel.

It's very thought-provoking to consider that the last hands to touch each of these artifacts were the hands of people in the 1880s...your hands are the first ones on these pieces since then. Fascinatng!
So amazing! Thanks for the video!
