    Dude it would be fascinating to see what the bottles look like cleaned up from the mud , can you do a post dig summary with a breakdown of values rarity ect, it would be great to see the true beauty of these artifacts and learn a little more of the history

    They are not cleaned up at all at the end. Yes he lines up all that he found but they still are dirty. I would love for him to do an add on every now then at the end of his videos showing all that he found washed up and clean and shiny!!!

    Maybe you didn’t watch to the very end? The soda bottles are a lovely blue, and the telegraph glass was a subtle green. He didn’t show all the bottles, but it was nice to see the best ones! Thank you!

    My Uncle, Augy, was born in 1912 in Fargo, North Dakota. He was the youngest child of a large German family. His parents owned many acres of land for raising crops, cattle, milk cows etc. He told me used bottles and such was buried on a distant part of the property. When I bought an antique bottle, he said he would write to his brothers and sisters to ask if they had such things. Some of them they sent are similar to what you are finding. I love what you do. So exciting!

    I collect Insulators and have many telegraph insulators, my collection began in 1963, many of mine are bubbled glass. Their worth has tremendously gone up. I did find many of my insulators. I remember looking up while riding in the car with my parents, seeing the stunning colourful insulators glistening in the sun.

    It's amazing what history has been buried just a couple feet underground across this great country of ours. Also, finding still full bottles of nearly 150 year old elixirs shows how high the quality of the bottling was back then. These days they make every container as thin as possible and they leak before you even get them home! This is outstanding stuff my friend!

    I'm 62 but when I was a young lad like 12 or so me and a friend use to ride our bikes and find old fire pits and dig up old bottles, this was back in the 1970s, we would find stuff from the 30s through the 50s for the most part so nothing super old, especially then but it was fascinating to me back then. I had a pretty good collection of bottles but not sure what I did with them. I remember embossed dr pepper good for life bottles, some marble stop bottles and the like. Good times.

    I live close to Massillon and my husband grew up in and around Massillon. Back in the 50's my husband and his friends used to play in the old beer caves and run around the railroad with their 22's shooting the insulators from the electric poles! It's crazy to think you pulled up a bottle that could have been in one of those caves.

    These are interesting finds indeed. Maybe there was a little kiosk since it was a train depot, and that might explain all the little syrups and other smaller bottles. Like at smaller stations today, people might have bought newspapers and other things before their trip. If the town burned down, all that might have been thrown down the pit if no one wanted it? Fun to imagine why full bottles of "soothing syrup" would be there.
