Just found your channel a few days ago. I subbed. Been digging dumps and privies since 1974. Your right you never know what you might find. About 25 years ago I dug a Van Cleef and Arple 18k cigarette case in awesome shape. It was art deco from the 20s and weighed 215 gram's. Sold it at auction for $7650. Keep digging and I'll keep enjoying.👍👊

The history you provide sets you apart from other channels and is very interesting. Thank you.

I'm sure whoever buried their trash never thought in a million years someone would come along 100 years later and dig it all up

Hey everyone! we released a youtube short a few minutes before we released this video. Question for anyone who has notifications turned on for our videos: Did you get a notification for the youtube short AND the regular video? thanks in advance

I have a friend who lives in Yankton. She moved there about 20 years ago.And up until recently while watching your videos, I never know this place had so much history. Now I'd love to be there visiting...and digging for bottles, even though she's more of a rock hound.

Super glad to see you saving the old bottles and other relics. Your channel is a no gimmick, no fluff channel and I like it that way. Just good old digging technique and knowledge you so generously share with us. I like that you use wood to dig, because as you know it is so much gentler on the treasures you find, whatever they may be. Keep On! ( :

Back in the day.... My dad always had trash pit on the farm I grew up on. So did all the neighbor farms. Fancy homes are sitting on the land now. I went to yard sale once at one of these homes and told the owner that I grew up on his property and he said that every time he digs a hole he finds stuff buried. No kidding!

I love your channel. Never boring. So fascinating to see what you dig up next. Glad your here👍😊❤️

Awesome adventure! Thanks for sharing it with me

Always love your videos, thank you for sharing.

At the end of this video there is a cast iron boot remover under the metal hoop. I have one. Mine is a cockroach/ bug. My grandfather worked for a time in the mill that made them...in Lewiston, Maine. He gave it to my dad who then gave it to me. Exciting to see that item and the lamp. Love your hard work! Continuing to watch...

I appreciate your guys's knowledge and zeal for what you guys do it's freaking awesome. I remember finding a brass bell with a date 17 86 in my backyard garden in 19 86. Sad to say it was stolen right out of my hand and I never saw it again

Great video guys. The UHD footage looks great and you've got much better documenting your digs. This was by far the best video from ya'll yet. Keep it up, can't wait to see more

Nice finds, I love the extract bottle with the owl ! 🦉 😍

Best treasure video EVER! Why doesn't this have 1 million views?

I like the old houses and buildings, also. Old maps, too. I like how you respect the objects and the owner’s property before, during & after the digs. 👍🏻

Some of these items look like they didn't deserve to be trashed. Loved the bakelite bow and the lamp. Nice to see how even ordinary stuff looked stylish back then.

I really appreciate your intro music... I'm an old timer (74,) The smooth home style guitar.music brings me back to days gone by... Thanks guys 🕊️

I enjoy reading all the backround story information Its very interesting TY

Another masterpiece of educational material. 👍 It wasn't a coffee creamer...it was a cruet.

Just subscribed! My brother use to dig old sites he remembered seeing alongside roads ,once he discovered the town at one time had a cola manufacturing company. He found bottle after bottle that said, Madison Cola. No one around even remembered the place being there. He started off finding bricks, so he knew something had been there. A big part of Madison, Ga history had been forgotten. Don't know if he still has any of the bottles. Says there's got to plenty more, but you can't go in the wooded area anymore. Whoever owns it now, maybe they will dig and see what type of machine's were used back in the day. My brother is also a collector of Indian artifacts. He's been doing that since he was a child. A true archeologist, he has a huge collection of both Indian an early American artifacts.

Thanks everyone who watches, likes and/or leaves a comment

It’s awesome how you guys put up the years and the information on the stuff that you find keep up the good work guys

Thanks for sharing this video

You were saying it was some kind of a statue. Didn't you hear me yelling it's a turkey tail?? 😂😂

Really enjoyed watching you guys dig up all of those old items. The large brown glass bottle looks like the antique bleach bottles that I have.

awesome digs guys, always fun watching what will pop out next👍

I still use my 100+ year old Rayo center draft lamps and find them soothing in the winter here in rural northern MI. They can burn kerosene or lamp oil (I use oil), give off about 40 watts of light (have a round wick, which are still being produced) and quite a bit of heat for their size. Great for when the power goes out or when you just want some extra warmth and light on cold dark days. I use frosted chimneys on mine, without the shade, to defuse the firelight. The lamp you found didn't have all its working parts, so maybe that's why it was thrown away. Happy hunting!

I love your channel. I keep telling my friends to check out your videos. Keep making the great content!!!

Another GREAT dig guys!!!!!

if I wasn't already in the hobby your videos would make me want to be .lol. nice finds stay safe,God bless

That’s amazing what you will find awesome finds too , it gives you a picture of what life was like and the status of the household 💥💥👍🏻

I just subbed yesterday, it's great to see all of the treasures of the past. I live in a bone that is 119 yrs. old, there are a few places in the yard I would love to dig up, I might have to start that project.

Whoa! Fantastic viewing guys! Keep it coming!

Amazing ...love the lamp...🥰

Great watch !!! love the on screen item info 🤗

New sub, came over from Reddit. Loving the channel so far! Keep up the good work guys, the videos are great 😃👍

Hey guys, Great channel interesting to see thee history you uncover, my question is, How do you know where to dig? Obviously you know where the old property was, but how do you know where they have dumped trash, bottles etc? Could you or do you have a video investigating a new place for the old home site?

Your adventures are great to come along,i am new to finding your channel, Thumbs up

Another great video! Keep up the good work guys

I remember an old abandoned outhouse in Ketchikan, Alaska at a place I was staying in 1999. I remember thinking then the treasures that could have been found.... p.s. I prefer gold nuggets vs brown nuggets! :o

❤❤❤ I love your channel - super chill and relaxed .. almost like Christmas presents lol you guys most definitely have to send me a doll head and Sign it that would be so sick!!!!!

Great Video really enjoyed it. Thanks

Tom very nice finds. I enjoy how you explain what the items are and the age. The marbles were cool. Happy Digging.

Awesome cool finds! Keep Diggin!

Hi Tom, I'm down here in KS near Wichita, I would love to see a video of your finds a maybe you talking about some of the older bottles and finds. Really like to hear the history of where found items came from and used for. I just subscribed and will be watching all your videos and be catching all your new ones. Thanks and take care be careful and stay healthy.

What a gem of a video. very interesting hobby!

All really good finds. Would like to seen more of the boot jack you had lieing out with iron hoop which most likely came off a bucket or keeg. Good stuff.

Cool video guys. The nickel lamp is cool. And I loved the extract bottle with the owl on the moon, it's very collectible. I hope you were talking about me when you mentioned the seeds, cause I want to try a grow whatever the seeds are from. Take care guys.✌

Just stumbled across this channel and subbed...very interesting stuff and commentary 👍.

Keep up the great work guys

I find this channel very interesting. And for such a young fella to be into this hobby. Fantastic, I just came across this channel last evening. I do believe I've watched atleast a dozen videos already. I have my own bottle dump site. I found it last year in a bank along an old river. The area I hunt was established in 1605 by the Acadians. Above the bank was a property of an English governor who settled here in the mid 1700's and I've found some fantastic relics coins black inch thick bottles and silverware. To all those who love the hunt, hunt on my friends and good luck.

Love the sound of the train. In Canada here we had our touched in the head government take out the railway in my home town, when i was a kid over 35 years ago. Miss that sound. The train use to pass my grandmother's property and the trains conductor use to throw me an 🍊. Good memories.

This was fun to find all this old stuff

My dad lived in a house without indoor plumbing with his grandparents, on their farm when he was little. They always told him to relieve himself before going to bed. He fought them, because of the cold or wet walk to the outhouse. One night woke up because he needed to go, but didn’t want to go to the outhouse. So he used the chamber pot. He regretted it for the rest of the night. His room smelled like poop! That lantern you found. I saw the holes and thought you guys had accidentally poked it. But then we got a closer look, and the hole was made from the inside-out! I think the lantern became defective, and was disposed of, after being used for target practice. Pretty cool artifact!

The rusty metal things pile had a boot Jack in it. Used for helping you remove your dirty boots. Farmers use them today as well.

Great video guys 👍

Great finds!

You guys would love it this side of the pond, 🤠❤️🇬🇧

Enjoyed the video well Done

G'day from Australia. I love your knowledge ! Thank you.

The "Ring" looks like it came off of a "Wine Barrel".

Hi Tom Jake and Todd, you make my back hurt just sitting in my chair😊 I’m a 76 year old grandma from MN. Just found you and binge watching. How many people on your crew?

I just started watching you guys and you both are always able to easily identify your finds - is this knowledge from experience, education, or both? Nice Work!

The bottles and all were super cool, but that lamp was bad ass!

Stumbled across your channel. Love your videos its just amazing and fascinating. 2 questions please? What is the most valuable piece you ever found? And what is the strangest thing you ever found? Keep up and keep strong ❤ from South Africa

I worked for a small mom & pop phone company in western Colorado. The Morgan family that owned that small phone co used to have the central office switch in the livingroom of their small home. The mom and older kids worked as the operators and would switch calls when someone cranked the phone and told them who they were trying to reach. Dial phones were invented at that time but many rural and mountain communities across the US still had the old timey crank phones. In the late 50's and early 60's they finally were able to upgrade everyones phones to the new rotary dial type phones. It took a while to get everyone switched over but they would remove the old crank phones and put the new dial phone in. Their little company had about a thousand customers spread out between a half dozen small towns there along the Arkansas River in western Colorado. The old crank phones werent worth anything back then so there was no market for them and when they would remove them Mr. Morgan had the kids throw those old phones down the outhouse holes. Long story short I know where there are about a thousand old timey crank phones are buried. Haha. The wood on them has no doubt rotted by now but the metal parts, generators, bells and handsets are still there. Lol. Im not interested in digging them out. But the point to tgis is it was very common back in the day to throw your junk down the outhouse hole. Once a hole was full they would just dig another hole and move the old outhouse over the new hole. And thats why sometimes when you dig up old stuff its concentrated in a small but deep round hole. Kind of an cringey thought for old buried antique treasure hunters but that's the reality. Happy hunting! And God bless.

Have you ever saved the old window glass and made a mosaic-stained glass article with it. With the swirls and imperfections in the old glass I think it would be glorious and the sun would fire through it like crazy. Heck you might ask your followers if anyone would be interested in purchasing lots of the window glass you might be surprised out the answers. Especially those people that do art glass pieces and stained glass pieces with the lead. I always enjoy watching history come out of the ground. The Dr. Kilmers swamp root sample bottle is found quite often in the UK diggers holes. It’s crazy how some bottles and produce made it over seas and a lot of others didn’t. Same goes for products made in the UK some made it to the states but a lot didn’t. Like the Cobb bottle have you ever found one of those here in the states? I love the lamp you found, nice. Nice pictorial bottle at the end of the pit. I just commented on another video about how we don’t have pictorials like the UK our is very sparse where over there they are pretty well plentiful. Meaning there’s a lot of companies that had pictorials on their bottles. Just like they had tons of stone ware bottle of all kinds and shapes. But it is fact that they are the old world and existed long before us in our country. They find whole pieces of Roman pottery and also fragments. Onion bottles from the 1200s and later. The piece of metal under the metal ring looks like a devise used for pulling your shoes off or boots off. The Dr. Kilmers bottle looks to manganese glass. With its purple tint.

I Did not realize how deep you have to dig for artifacts it just amazes me good job guys very very interested thank you

Was diggin up the back garden with my dad in the late 80s and found a pub lamp and a full iron fireplace a few busted bits of crockary and a few coins mostly pennys and a single thrupence and a silver sixpence that iv kept in my wallet all these years (im in the uk) It was common to bury things in the uk my freinds neibour buryed a motorcycle and sidecar in a big pit in the 70s lol . Great vid and intresting discoveries fellas im gonna hit subscribe after writeing this 🤘

The site I dig here in the east is quite shallow (

Be careful around those lines guys! Great new video. The quality has really improved I`ve noticed

Yay, new video 👌👌👌👌

I’d like to see your personal collection I bet it’s pretty amazing. Great content keep it up…

Wow nice hunting sir congrats continue more content sir

I recognized the metal object with the horns on the end. It's a cowboy boot puller for taking the boots off. My sister had a brand new one when she took horseback riding lessons.

very nice!

Wonderful waterless dig. I've never seen videos like this, very interesting! If you ever come across a container and if by chance it has gold coins or gold jewelry inside remember to hold your breath and step away after you open it. let the chest or vault breathe for an hour or so ...I've read that gases build up. But I'm sure you may known that lol

Another nice dig guys. Shame the old lamp, and chamber pot wasn't in better condition, Those would have been amazing. And Jake...... Saw another Watkins bottle. Saw you replied to my comment on another video earlier about Watkins. And yeah, not really gonna find them in any store. Pretty much the same as they used to be. Door to door sales mostly, and or, online websites. Like the Avon Lady...............

Such TREASURES ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Cool Dig. I found the Dr. Kilmer's frequently in NH back in the 70's. The small sample bottle was more rare to find back there.

Nice dig! Looks like you guys were cold! Wonder what was wrong with that lamp to make them chuck it...

Hey! That looks like a turkey tail! Or chicken.... maybe a fancy serving type dish? Cool!

Good job little brother!

Yes, the green glass was the base of a cake salver/stand. The oil lamps you often describe as "lanterns" are known more commonly as lamps when they were used in a household or restaurant... Lanterns term refers to mine and railroad lighting/lantern. I have vast collections of both 1800 cake salvers and oil lamps. What you referred to as a broken creamer pitcher is known as a cruet, usually oil and vinegar. I have vast collections of those too.

Still enjoying watching you dig out old toilets (hee hee). Was wondering what happens to all that you recover? I know when metal detecting you are supposed to return the items to the land owner. Is this the same? I have seen shows on tv that an agreement would be made to split 50/50 or whatever they can agree to. Keep digging and we’ll keep watching!

I work for Welch's in North East Pennsylvania. I have been there 28 years. It would be nice to be able to get one of these Welch's bottles from you, if possible. There is coworker of mine that retired who has his walls lined with nothing but series of Welch Glass and has them illuminated. I appreciate any response. I really enjoy watching you find these artifacts 💖🤗

I think that broken ceramic at 21:00 is a Turkey tail. Thanks for the great videos!

Nan from Florida: wow!! That kerosene lamp was gorgeous!!!!👏👏👏

Very PROFESSIONAL 👍 Nice dig's..... BOTTLEDIGGERLMB

AMAZING HOW DEEP PEOPLE BURIED THEIR TRASH,,,,,,CRAZY

I have got to get me an old piece of property. I could spend my final days just digging holes all over the backyard. That would be so much fun.

Keep Yankin them bottles!!!

Dude,, this is fascinating, how did you figure to dig in that spot? So neat! I'll come dig for you guys,, so cool

Great channel besf kind 9f channel where you tell everything ax ut is nomuckingabout ,,, love watching your streams shows how people in the past lived ty x

That's cool I live 20 miles from Freeport,I'll. Stephenson county.

Very interesting. How do u know where to dig for these artifacts. 👍,

Most excellent video 👏how does all that topsoil get there, they must have brought it in over the years. Thanks for sharing 👍

Love those small bottles. You can send them to me...if you like..LOL 😀

Love them old bottles. When i was a kid i found an old bottle stash/trash that was washing out of the bank of a creek. Probably 20 different kinds of pop bottles. You'd think they would have had a deposit on them. We lived in the country about 10 miles from the Streator (IL) bottling works maybe that had something to do with it. Lots of mason jars, milk bottles, all with different names on them. Was fun!
