Never get tired of watching this..every pit is a whole new game...

Never in my life would I have thought I would enjoy watching someone dig in an outhouse pit. Love your videos.

Glad to see you didn't hold the antique pitcher by the handle. Any antique glass/ceramic should only be held from the bottom. Back in the day they didn't attach the handles very well or the joints have become weak over time.

Super perfume bottle shapes and the apothecary bottle, nice unusual shapes and of course the intact jug. Thank you, happy digging guys.

@rossrucker3571 8 ай бұрын

It would be interesting if you would do a full video explaining styles and tops and how you identify them. For instance we hear you say dandy, mikado, shoo-fly, picnic, coffin…what is the difference? And tops, what signifies blob, tooled, etc. And show the differences.

Ok, how about you stop asking about his PERSONAL collection? If he'd wanted to share that, he would have. You are not the first to ask, and he has no obligation to invite you or any other stranger into his personal life in that way. You are being ill-mannered to continue to badger him.

@FlyinThruTime 8 ай бұрын

@@marraharris6080 Y'know almost all KZfaqrs use they're comments for suggestions for videos, when a comment gets lots of likes or if there are many of the same questions commented they will actually make that video. Without requests being made in the comments a lot of KZfaqrs would run out of video ideas. Badgering is actually what you are doing leaving such negative comments. Maybe refresh you're memory of what respect is and keep your mouth shut next time.

@gohilton 8 ай бұрын

@@marraharris6080 I wasn't aware of him being asked to see his personal collection! I would also like to say he's a big boy and should be able to speak for himself. I don't read all the comments on this subject. However I do have some interest in what he's found and it's people like you that will run others off and I'm sure he appreciates that. I didn't think it was to much to ask of someone who does this or similar kind of work. I think I will move on to other people who do similar work!!!!!!

@@gohiltonwell, since you make a point of asking him "again" this is obviously not the case. Either this is not the correct forum to receive your message and he won't see it here (it's really Jake's channel), or he's seen your request and ignored it. Move on.

Wonder if old schoolhouses would have anything buried in the outhouse holes? There were schoolhouses every couple of miles. But I reckon the old school Marm's were pretty harmless. But I bet they also misbehaved sometimes too. Give the kids a test & hit the sauce.
