What do you do with your finds, especially the antique broken pottery with ornate raised designs or painted/printed designs? Do you collect these, sell them, or discard them? The reason I ask is I'd be interested in some of them if it's something you don't collect. Thank you.

Do you have a video explaining how you find your maps, test the ground, the history, and detail your hunt to get to the location your actually digging? Would be really cool!

That's a good idea. Will you have a reunion for that? Find some period recipes to serve if you do.

@@fishinwidow35 That’s a good idea about serving food from recipes of that time. I found a total of 300 books of recipes in the farmhouse. A few of them date back to the mid 1800’s. I haven’t looked through them in several years. Would be fun to have several dishes made , more than likely wild game and vegetables harvested. I also found several hand written health remedies which I recall being thankful that we have modern medicine as the ingredients made me gag🤢.I can’t recall anything specific right now. Thank you😊

@@stacykelly9962 I don't know where you live so recipes will vary. I live in Maine and many of our recipes go back to colonial days and we still make them regularly. Check out The Townsends or Early American here on KZfaq. They even cook the old fashioned way.

Oh, sorry, you did put MO.

​@@stacykelly9962 "modern medicine" is chemical based, from mid 1800's onward. Before that it was plant/ nature based. I've read interesting remedies from indigenous sources that would NOT be culturally acceptable these days😮😢 Wishing you success😊❤🎉❤

Iowa has the most fertile soil in the nation. I was admiring it as he was digging too🙂

Yeah, either one or multiple people in this house were addicted to caffeine, apparently.

@Tom A I'd like to see something about your knowledge of these bottles and where did you come by that? How do you find the outhouse location? Interesting channel!

@@danreed7889 I’m with you on wanting to know that information, I do metal Detecting on the beach’s and if people only knew what lie’s just a inch or two below the surface they would never walk bare feet in the sand ever! From rusty nails & tent spikes to broken bottles with the rusty caps still attached!

@Tom A That video would get tons of viewers for sure! Love your energy with digging those deep holes. Those of us older diggers really enjoy the adventures! 👍

My life's dream...sidelined by cancer,loss and abuse.NICE WORK.BE SAFE.LOVE FROM CLARKSBURG, WV

He's not necessarily in it for the money

They’re priceless. Why is everything about money to some people 🙄

@@marisasanchez1699 my sentiment exactly. They one thing I do put a price on is human life.now that's worth killing for.

@Tom A Where do you sell your bottles? I'd be interested.

When was the first thread less insulater made

@@markandrews2942 The first telegraph line was built in 1844 and the earliest glass "pin-type" insulators were based on bureau knobs, and over time became sturdier to fit on a wooden pin. These early insulators are known as threadless insulators, as the internal cavity had no threads and was just held to the pin by friction and tar. Even though they were used by the millions in the mid 1800's, virtually all threadless are scarce today, and most are quite rare. Threaded pintype insulators were developed based on a patent (July 25, 1865) by Louis A. Cauvet for internal threads in the glass and a corresponding threaded wooden pin. The Brookfield Glass Company licensed this patent and started making threaded glass insulators. In the 1860's and early 1870's both threaded and threadless insulators were being made by various glass companies. In 1876 Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. This event greatly accelerated the expansion of open wire lines and the need for insulators. During this period, both the Telephone and Telegraph companies started to standardize on certain insulator styles. This is the reason that many different manufacturers made the same style insulators. Even with standardization, there were many new styles developed. Most of these were never used in large quantities.

@Tom A ah gotcha, thank you so much for the info, Great Channel!!

Or they like the extra pep in their step from the caffeine and guarana? 😂

hahaha yeah thats a definite possibility, but i do believe a US senator lived in the house at some point in the early 1900s, so it could have been work related.. anyways, thanks for watching
