These are really new model type privies. Adding the 2 foot down water table into the mix, man you are a trooper to keep at these.

Sheesh I got so into this that I was actually startled when it ended abruptly.LOL.Thank you for sharing

I have done this a few times. Found lots of marbles,a colt revolver loaded,and med bottles.

those Christmas cokes are getting hard to find....in my area...

Nice finds. Love the whiskeys.

Awesome finds! I wish you could find that many art deco sodas around here

Use to live in Warsaw. Moved to the mountains of eastern Kentucky. Miss Duplin County and my friends.

Great videos! I have a small collection of Coke, Pepsi, and 7Up bottles. Going to have to try digging, like you! I wonder where, in my area of SE Pennsylvania, I can find good places to dig.

Nice Going!! Thanks For Sharing!!

nice finds. wish i was there too,

good dig ,when I hit water I use a garden pich fork .

Better luck next time, I wonder what is deeper down in those holes... They'll probably never dry out enough to find out. Cities used to have garbage pick up, I know my town had a few garbage services. I read about it in a 1890's newspaper. No way to tell where it was though, I did find a massive 1920's-1950's dump, must be at least an acre and a half. Found a few porcelain signs there worth around $400 all together. Also found some telegraph insulators worth $30 for the pair and about $100+ worth of random bottles. It was about 20 hours of back breaking work. I think 20's - 30's town dumps are usually more rewarding than poking around in privies. That is unless it is a 1800's privy then nothing will beat it. I know of a few early privies in my town but getting permission is another thing, the person who owns the land is an out of towner. I doubt I'll ever find a late 1800's city dump where I live, just weren't enough people living in Ohio at the time. I will continue to try to find privies but most of them will be 1920's - 1930's and in that date I would prefer to dig a dump. You don't find porcelain signs in privies! Look forward to seeing more videos, happy hunting.

Found a ribbed chero cola bottle. The only writing on it is property of chero cola, in plain letters. It's real heavy, u ever seen one?

Do you ever try to bail that surface water? I am thinking that its wall was acting like a well.

Why do you throw the unwanted ones back in the hole? Why not leave them out for someone else?

Can you preserve painted labels by spraying them with polyurethane ? Great Video! Dig on !

I have since seen your video with Black Label tab tops on top of a surface dump. 1935 was the first beer can ... do you try soaking any older beer cans you find, in citric or oxalic acid?

@swbottles

7 жыл бұрын

Yes, but I have found a better faster way. Get the WORKS toilet bowl cleaner in the white bottle with bent neck. put a little in a dish and after you have washed the can and dried it, dip a toothbrush into the acid and just spread it over the can and lightly scrub it for 3 or 4 minutes, then soak in water a few minutes.

Some guys have luck using cleaners like that. I encourage trying citric or oxalic. For a test of citric, try this on 3-4 old flat tops: Mix 1 part concentrated lemon juice with 4 parts water and let em soak overnight. You might be surprised. Try it on any rusty but solid cans you find in 30s-50s dumps, or any rusty artifacts. I have a small collection of dumped bottles. What should I soak them in? CLR, vinegar, bleach? I don't find enough bottles to warrant buying a tumbler.

Albert Killian applied color label. It’s some sort of glass based paint that’s applied by a stamp then fired in a kiln to bake it to the surface of the bottle. It’s still used on some bottles today
