I have to say, that athough it was a great haul, I think we as viewers don't always realize the potential hazards that can happen at any time. This exploding bottle was really hazardous. I always wonder about unsanitary things getting into the eyes, etc. I want to thank you for your perseverance and your dedication. It is much appreciated by me, and I'm sure, many others.

Curious as to whether you've considered also metal-detecting your holes as you dig them - seems like you'd be sure to find coins/jewelry in privvy holes...

That bottle exploding like that may have been from a drastic temperature change. It looked like it may have still had original sealed contents in it.

that's not what caused the explosion. fermentation occurred over a long time with soil pressure stabilizing the bottle. when he picked it up it disturbed the fluid releasing carbonation.

Yeah. The pressure of the soil was the only thing holding the bottle together. And the stability was keeping the pressure from agitating. He picked it up and shook it, that's how you make it go boom.

​@@nightmansmemo I wouldn't; not from the outside factors alone, but also the fact that when wine or beer isn't stored properly; it can't turn poisonous. That's why wine cellars aren't just holes in the ground with air conditioners over them. A wine company in California did a mini documentary about it. Should be able to find it on youtube.

Looks like you had the perfect storm with that bottle. You had mentioned the ground water was cold and that and the surrounding soil was probably keeping it in balance. No soil pressure, cold bottle, sudden introduction of warm air and warm hands....grenade time!! Glad you were not hurt, too bad you lost that unique bottle. I grew up in a neighborhood with a lot of railroaders, the amount of liquor bottles you found does not surprise me one bit!!

I have seen quite a few of your videos and am always waiting for the treasure. I lived on a sailboat sailing around half the world for 18 years and did some diving in a few South Pacific harbours. Suva Fiji was our favorite We found bottles, pipes, dishes, etc from all the old ships that sailed around in the 1800 = 1900s Most of my bottles are in my basement and I need to pass them on . Do you know of any museum that would be interested? I wonder what you do with all your nice finds. Many of us would like to know what you do with them. Do you have any videos of the bottles cleaned and maybe categorized? Just so interesting. In any case, thank you for taking us on your digs.

Dear goodness me, and both unhurt phew. I hope this was a prosperous dig not only for the scare but that had to be one of the most gruesome digs you have have done and you kept on going, well done, that's what you call hard work. Not another team like it. Thank you.

There were a lot of turbulent explosions in the outhouse back in the day with rampant dysentery but that one you guys had made me jump😮

Amazing Haul Guys ! And, Tom ,I am so glad you are okay and not hurt by that exploding wine bottle.! There's always a first time for everything. My guess it was stuck in the mud ,that acted like a cork and the change in temp and pressure set it off. Like taking a pin out of a hand grenade !!! It was scary to watch. You guys keep it real, and I really like that about your Video's. Take care !

My wife and I enjoy your channel immensely. The history you unearth is incredible. We really appreciate the information you provide throughout your episodes. Keep up the great work and we look forward to seeing more videos in the future.

I remember seeing that exploding bottle on social media. Many bottle collectors were surprised by it. Good to see the dig it came from.

Dozens and dozens of alcohol bottles, and six soda bottles. Tells you something about that was going on there! Very interesting video. Thanks!

Maybe when you get a chance you could show us your bottle collection it has to be badazz HELL YEAH BROTHER LET'S SEE IT

WOW WHAT AN OPENING, SO GLAD YOUR SAFE!

Some neat finds! I hope you didn't get sick from that hole. Loved watching as always!

21:00 bottle exploding... crazy!!!!

If I had to speculate as to why the bottle exploded I would say it was due to the pressure inside the bottle due to the fermentation of the wine exceeding the bottles' wall strength and while it was underground it had sufficient external pressure on the outside of the bottle to counter the internal pressure. Once you remove it and it no longer had the external pressure on it and you shook it releasing more of the CO2 that was suspended in the wine, the internal pressure exceed the bottles' wall strength and it blew up. Yes you are very lucky!

A NEW VIDEO!!!! Thanks Tom! I have watch all your videos 3 times each!!! SO ADDICTIVE!!!

WOW That bottle just blew apart!!! I'm glad you guys are ok!!! God was watching over you!!!!! God Bless!!!

Lucky man. I had a bottle blow up on me in the 70's. It wasn't as violent. I dug all through the 70's into the 80's. Good times. ? For you. You have probably entered this question a thousand times but I haven't found the video where you have. How many paraboots and pairs of gloves do you go through in a year. LOL. I've been watching you for almost a year and I've been going back and watching the ones I haven't seen. You do amazing videos. Glad I found you. Take care.

It is amazing the amount of bottles you find in old outhouses. I knew they used them as garbage pits but that is amazing.

That pit was loaded as all hell! Must have been just an all out party on those trains! Everybody getting messed up! Maybe take the edge off lol! Dude I'm glad you have two intact eyeballs these days!! Sick pit, great vid!! Thanks fellas for your hard work!!!

I'm more & more convinced of something I'd previously thought: people in the past went thru life (if they could afford it) in a slight alcoholic haze. The vast majority of bottles you pull tend to be liquor, beer & patent medicine/prescription. Given that many medicines had high alcohol volumes as well as marijuana, cocaine and opium, people just must have been some defintion of "high" an awful lot of the time. You can see why prohibition came to be approved - the more-or-less sober folks must have decided they didn't want to put up with all the definitely not sober folks. I believe the free-from-doctor's prescription drugs thing disappeared around the same time as prohibition - cocaine was removed from Coca-Cola, opium dens closed down, marijuana made illegal - oh! And heroin was no longer freely available. Yep, people were seriously buzzed in the past...

Not saying it is good but it is not going to stop anytime soon unless of course they get their wish and depopulation us all.

Holy moly that bottle scared the heck out of me. I’m so glad you didn’t get hurt. I thought for sure it got in you’re face. 😮❤

Thank you for all the information you give for us on the bottles and anything you find on enjoy your channel more than any other channel you give us information that we need. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

I’m SURE I’m not the first to make mention, but some waders , while they might be cumbersome, you might consider wearing some; you don’t want to get some sort of infection, mersa , or who knows what, while you marinate in that mystery stew water… definitely at least watch for signs of infection, and get some antibiotics if need be…that all being said, what a GREAT VIDEO!!! Thanks for sharing!

Oh my goodness I jumped when that happened! I’m sorry that happened but I’m glad you’re okay

What the?! Tom that was dangerous! Thank God you didn't get hurt! I had just sit down with a HOT cup of coffee....I jumped when that exploded and yes, my coffee all over me! HOT! You scare me when you reach in and pull out the bottles with no gloves. Be careful! A lot of flasks! Enjoyed the video even with the hot coffee...LOL, but so glad you didn't get hurt!

jeez, halfway thru this video, and this pit is one of the most loaded that ive ever seen, glad you were okay

U are very lucky Tom💥 worked your butt off, can't help but wonder who does your laundry 😆 it's always exciting to watch. Well done and thanks again Tom✌🏻

So very glad you are ok. Always enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing.

You are a lucky boy not a scratch on either of you!! Heck of a pit. Thanks for taking us along!! You are a hard work son of a gun!!

My dad and I started digging bottles 1974. I was very young but it never goes away. I'm 58 I still love the excitement, the finds boy it's great being from Massachusetts boy the finds I've got. Tons of clay pipies cast iron toys AN ENTIRE 1915 FORD VEHICLE, VERY little left but got the plate porclin.

I jumped when that wine bottle exploded, I hope you guys didn't get shards in you 😳 that was friggin scary to watch and hear. That was incredible 😬 I want to thank you for making your videos the way you do, very easy to watch and learn from!!

I trust that you throw away everything you’re wearing at the end of a dig like this? Including boots and bandanna? You probably buy your gloves in bulk! And even after a couple of hot showers I bet you eat your dinner outside in the yard. Thanks for your hard work on this one. Glad you weren’t hurt by the exploding glass. Another amazing excursion into a bygone era. (I can only imagine the smell)

What a shock!! Happy you’re ok because it certainly could’ve been serious. I hope that never happens again.

I watched a couple of your videos today for the first time. Pretty neat. What impresses me most is your seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of old bottles and glassware. I was wondering if you might do a video just going through your collection and talking about the different types of bottles, what they were used for and how they were made through history. I find this sort of thing interesting too. Where do you look up these old bottles? How did you learn about this subject? Do you sell them? Do you have some sort of museum? I'm glad to see young people interested in history.

Bless your heart ❤ for digging through that 💩 you find the best stuff !

Wow this one is one of the best . For watching. I watched 20 or more of your videos maybe twice as many. And you are most informative other than the 20 or more other bottle diggers I watch.

I don’t know how you do it! The excitement of unearthing a piece that hasn’t seen sunlight in a century!! But I can tell you, I was literally catching myself holding my breath when you were at the very bottom of the pit… excellent score!!!

Love this channel, brings back memories of my family digging up New England lol, we had 56,000 bottles in our collection, most were glass blown from the late 1700 to 1800 hundreds lots of backed clay bottles, use to go looking for old foundations then head for there bumps to find the good stuff, even some old stone walls would hide coins so they wouldn’t get robbed, love the channel, we even tunneled under an old dump road from the 1870s where the city’s outlawed dumping in the back yards, the bump had been closed for over 100 years till we found it in the early 1970s it looks like a war zone after everyone else started catching on lol Norwich ct was a great place for digging, really old town from like the 1640s check it out if your near there, I’ll tell you where to go looking 👍🏼

This guy is my spirit animal. What a legend. This channel should have 10x more subs at least. I hope he finds a 2023 tooled top lambo in one of these outhouse holes because bro deserves it fr.

Wow you have such a dedication. You kept dogging and the pit kept giving. Kudos to you. I could smell it in my living room.

Now THAT's dedication!

YES! WE FINALLY GET TO SEE THE CONTEXT SURROUNDING THAT EXPLODING WINE!

That's only the second time we saw a bottle break at you, hope you were not injured!

I dug an old Chamberlain, had it out of the ground 3 hours before the 2 hour drive home. Washed the bottle in room temperature water, not a chip or crack anywhere, then set it on the kitchen table. About an hour later I heard a click, then another. Looked around and did😊nt see anything. Went to pee and BAM. Came back into the room to find glass everywhere. All that was left was the lip and the base...Watching your bottle explode was a trigger for my memory. Agreed. You are one luck SOB. Very bountiful hoard...nice.

Wow - This was an Explosive Dig - Glad Everyone is OK ! This Pit was Loaded and some Rare Bottles ! You even found Preserved Railroad Paper - wow - AMAZING ! Shirt Collar with a Name stamped in it - another Wow ! 2 Hutch - nice ! 313 Bottles - is this a Record for You ? A very Successful Dig - I enjoyed it very much - History Dug Up and Preserved ! Well done and many Cheers from Australia !!!!
