You need to start another channel where you display the cleaned items that you have dug up. Really enjoy watching your treasure hunts.

Agree,would also like to get a sense of how the items are used, passed and perhaps monetised- not the amounts I Think that should be private to you, just an understanding of the headlines like $45000 found in 10minutes

You work harder at being organized than any digger out there‼ You're giving a brief history right on the spot because you're so knowledgeable & don't waste time rehashing❣ Great quality filming & editing add to yours being my favorite U.S. bottle digging channel on KZread❣ Thank you Tom & crew❣

I used Mrs. Stewart bluing when I did washing with a wringer washer in the 1960's

I'm really diggin your videos. Would love to see explanation of tooled tops, ground tops, blob, 3 piece etc. machine made,..... how they were manufactured etc. Also a tour of your collections. Thank you for the efforts

I love the little blue pitcher!!!

Yes! Meticulous, knowledgeable, with the attitude of an archeologist, archivist. You have respect for the history of the Dakotas, and the businesses that supported the struggling economies there. Your passion and fascination makes this channel a joy to watch every time.

I'm happy to see you upload a new video. I love all your pics you have been posting on Facebook, too!

Tom a fantastic two privies dig. Cool you found a drugstore bottle from the town your grandfather lived. Liked all of the Mrs. Smith blueing bottles. Bummer the crocks were not whole. Great filming Jake. Happy New Year to you both. 👍👏😀😊

Hooked on watching these treasure hunts...like panning for gold.

I am old enough to remember products advertised on the TV made by Chesebrough Ponds. It is pronounced Cheese-bro.

I found your channel awhile back, and have really enjoyed your awesome adventures! I've always enjoyed digging up treasures, as I know you do as well! keep up the great work! Love the channel!

I missed you guys over the holidays!! Happy New Year!! I love your videos!

Fascinating channel. Amazing how much treasure is buried in the ground. How do you go about cleaning and preserving your finds? Perhaps you could do a video showing us that process.

Loving all those ink bottles, especially the cobalt blue !

Thanks for all the effort brother! I love those bluing bottles! I've never run up on one down here in MS. ♥

Glad your back, hope your holidays were better than expected, food was great and company likewise. Love your encyclopedia mind. Lots of love. Afriend.

Well worth the dig on this property! Some neat artifacts there!

Your digs are the only ones I watch. I get so happy when I find one I haven't seen. This may seem strange but I really enjoy the sounds made during your digging, the scraping against the glass. The digging also is relaxing for me.

I love the bottles you are pulling and that little pitcher was my favorite. Very cool!

Good to see you guys back at it! I look forward to the next dig!

Awesome finds congratulations tom

So excited to be watching a new one - love this channel, hooked on it. Do you ever sell or send bottles overseas (Scotland). Keep digging and I’ll be there watching. Thanks for this guys x

Awesome. Good to see you. ❤

I know I have asked before, but would it be possible to do some form of a tutorial for the various terms you use? I have tried looking up terms like turn mold, drop A triple loop, tool top and many others. What I find still doesn’t make things clear in respect to your digging. You do a fabulous job of including explanations for many of the pieces you find at the top of the screen. It is the mundane (to you) descriptions that are second nature to a seasoned “digger” that frustrate me because after all this time of watching you I still can not immediately understand your terms. Thanks for sharing what excites you with the rest of us!

Turn mold is a bottle without seam lines that was turned in the mold to give it a smooth appearance. Drop a triple loop is a term used by Ball canning jar collectors to describe the way the name Ball was written on the jar. The earliest script "Ball" had the A kind of short and the double L's were two loops with a third after that. The Ball brand jars before that had Ball in block letters. Tooled top bottles predate machine made bottles, the top lip of the bottle was formed after the bottle was removed from the mold using a special tool for the shape of the lip that was needed. Tooled top are easy to identify because the mold lines do not go all the way to the top of the bottle.

They told us about various terms and other questions but people kept asking the same questions every video and didn't bestir themselves to google anything, even with others explaining, too. I'm not surprised they gave up trying.

@@rivjoy Thank you!! Every time I googled it I couldn’t relate it to how you used the terms. Someone trained understands the lingo and uses it freely, those of us trying to learn can get confused so I greatly appreciate your time and consideration to help. Looking forward to the next “pit”!

Tom those bottles are awesome. I like the green one. Its beautiful. Boy they had lots of pretty patterns on there dinner ware. Love your videos . your awesome. Happy new year🎉. ❤

Great dig

Always good to find those " undigested seeds" 😮

It would be nice to see some of these things cleaned up Plus some people may be interested in buying some of them

I wish companies still used the embossed bottles. I enjoy seeing everything you dig out of the past. But I swear I can smell the out house. Lol 😂

And not a single ketchup bottle, how disappointing! I love those the most!---How'd you get so lucky as to find a dig at home!---Jake, I thought sure that one flip of the trowel was gonna smash into the camera!

While we were excavating for our house foundation we found some medicine bottles and pieces of China. The previous house dated back to 1910 it burnt down in 2007. Our town dates back to 1852 Marysville Ca. So many historical homes. Some of the members of the Donnor Party lived in Marysville. It was a stop over to bring supplies up River for the gold rush and mines in Nevada City Ca.

I really liked the turquoise dishes and the little pink ink bottle with the sharp edges I'm guessing it held red ink. Also the bottle with the dropper was pretty unusual. A couple of the food jars had a pretty shape. Oh yes and the two figurines and the measuring cup. What a cool snap shot of early times.

I am recently a new sub and have been going back and watching older video's and I am sitting here watching and thinking this looks familiar so I go look and these were uploaded 5 months ago, so not recent.

I was surprised that you broke the cap off of the salt or pepper shaker. Would it have been valuable with the lid. You do you just put everything back in the ground after digging it all up? I'm just curious because we don't see the whole video.

Pop's here. Have you ever had someone sift the fines for small items ( buttons, coins. Jewelry) ?

i know this didnt happen recently! hope you guys have lots of interesting finds in 2024, and yall keep sharing it with us. after shit thaws.

Great video keep it up! 🤠 from the U.S.A ! Also Based!

I feel like I’m there!!!!!!!

When in doubt, their all 1905 without a doubt.

Great great finds man , a lot of hard work there ! I appreciate your efforts,I would love to own one of any of these but unfortunately I do not use Facebook, I know , I know . Maybe a another way I could purchase . Thanks for sharing with us

Have you seen the UK guys with heavy magnets dragging rivers? Amazing what people have dumped, bags of jewellery, guns etc..

the tooled threaded top flask held liquor down here in the south. Once in a blue moon I find them embossed. nice dig.

Do you sell your treasures? The broken pieces of plates, cups, bottles etc, would make great mosaic patterns on wall hangings, kitchen walls, inlay on tables, etc. just use your imagination! I love your videos!

I'd love to see you take the finds home and show your cleaning pr ocess.

I would to see an “after the dig” style clip where you show what comes after: cleaning, displaying, selling(?). 😊

Odd how bottles were so small then. Had to be a kind of tincture which you take more often. Then they got huge, now smaller again and costs more.

I love your videos!! I have to ask, im sure you have been asking a million times, have you ever found any bones from maybe missing person?

Those fire bricks are worth keeping &/or selling. They don't make em like they used to!

Hi..great content. New here..how did you know where to grid and dig?

"Well, butter my biscuit, if this ain't the most rambunctious treasure hunt I done ever laid eyes on! Tom, you're as brave as a bear facin' a bee hive, diggin' through them old privies. Just thinkin' 'bout all them years gone by, and here you are, uncoverin' secrets buried longer than a rattlesnake in a prairie dog hole. That map's older than my pa's whiskers, and you used it to find a fortune! Alfred and Hannah Allen sure had some tales to tell, I reckon. Keep on keepin' on, you modern-day prospector, you're writin' history with every shovel full o' dirt. Yeehaw and hats off to you, partner!"

Do you ever glue some of the more ornate pieces back together? Like that blue piece you found? It was definitely ornate and beautiful.

That’s a Chicago pit!

You missed a bottle!

Hi BTP👋🏻! Music to my ears…”TPIL” (This pit is loaded!)…can you say it just once on one of your digs?

I would love to buy one of those zinc glazed ointment pots! Do you sell anything?

How utterly devasting for all but most particularly his wife for such a short time.

behive piece is the base of an oil lamp

I have a question. I have watched many of your videos, and I noticed that the majority of the bottles are c1905. Why is that? Is it because that is a general date for the tooled top?

Have you ever dig in Minnesota?

Okay the obvious thing is that you are picking up digging up litter from what 100 to 200 years ago I wonder what they're going to be digging up 100 to 200 years from right now

What do you do with all your bottles? We have over 5000 bottles and all that we can't display goes into boxes we keep in the bottle shed. We sell some to collectors but there are so many more. Do you have a safer method of storage?

How are you digging when the weather there is -7???

This is a full version of another video. He also might have some backlog he saved up for this time of the year. Unless he runs down to the south, there is no way for him to dig in the winter.

Do you keep the items?

If you come across anthracite (coal) chunks in the digs, you should definitely save those. You never know if they might have some fossils in them, plus old coal pieces are good to have anyway.
