You may already know what that little glass item you dug is, but for those who don't, it is a bird feeder. It holds seeds for your pet bird which is in a cage. The little glass edges are designed to clip in the edges of the wire bird cage and hold the seed for the birds to stick their heads into to eat the seeds. They also made water containers like this for the birds to drink.

Thank you for saving part of our country’s history, son. There is an old home where I live ( many actually ) but the one I’m speaking of is in our town’s city limits. It was clear-cut one year, of brambles and young pines but was still very heavily wooded. My young son and I walked back there to look at the old place ( small home ) and found bottles from under the house. It still had a ball and claw cast iron tub, ( which had fallen through the bathroom floor ), still visible. Boy, I would have loved to have been able to rescue it. Out back, not far from the small house was their dumping piles ( 3 ,to be exact ), with trees growing up through it and found ink-wells, perfume bottles and food sauce bottles as well as many medicine and soda bottles. Many of the soda bottles were some I’d never heard of like Zimba-Kola. The best find was the out-house ( with the half-moon ) cut out of the door for ventilation. I was too concerned about snakes and spiders to take my young son, ( at the time he was six ), into the out-house to do any exploration of it. I wonder, to this day, what would be found down there. As far as I know, it’s still there but now I’m too old to get back there now because it’s all grown up again with brambles and pines, once again. You’re going to have a heart attack when you hear what happened to my 3, 5 gallon buckets of bottles. My husband saw no use nor nostalgia for them, so one day without my knowledge, he took them and a beautiful green fan with perfect paint and still working , which mounted to a wall in a business of some type, maybe a bank, to our new ( at the time ) DUMP! Momma was very angry with daddy and so was his son. These were memories that my son and I made together, just thrown away, once again. The memories are still there and daddy was forgiven. 😉☺️

This was fun. When I was young, I'm 63 now, and I would go out with my step dad and little brother and dig in old garbage dumps that my step dad would come across while hunting. When my husband and I bought our 30-acre farm, 30 years ago, we found an old house foundation. We metal detected a large area with pottery, bottles for animal medicine, and medical devices that we found were used in aiding animals in birthing and large animal syringes. It's so much fun finding things from the past. Last summer while metal detecting with my grandchildren, we found a heavy metallic rock which turned out to be a meteorite . I've subscribed to your channel and I look forward to watching your finds. Much love from Northwestern Pennsylvania!

I’d love to see the process of what you do after you’ve dug them and take them home and how you clean them and prepare them for keeping or selling

Oh I’d love to see that swirl piece cleaned up! Maybe art glass?

This was nice watching someone else do the digging . I'm in western Massachusetts and find myself digging in these old trash sights often there's many of them in my area .My wife is gonna leave if I bring anymore bottles home 😂😂😅😅 Your knowledge was very educating thanks for sharing!

Just stumbled on your vids on Friday and been been binging ever since. Refreshing to watch someone who knows their stuff and doesn't bounce all over the place like an ADHD kid😅. Mesmerising to watch you find your spot and pull treasure from the ground. It's hard to get permissions here in Australia. I live in a 130 year old cottage on the beach front but, unfortunately the block was sub divided and the far end , that would have held the privy and the midden heap / ditch now has a house and garden on it. Your videos are really inspiring though and I will keep searching for an opportunity. Thanks! New subby, Port Elliot South Australia

My mom used to make root beer in the 1970’s using root beer extract. Didn’t realize it was such an old tradition! This family must have loved their root beer!

This channel has been a relaxing way to unwind for me for months. Keep it up.

On the eastern plains of CO....My Grandfather had a farm, they bought from an older guy who was a whiskey drinker. My dad tells the story of using a front end loader to fill in a ravine FILLED with blue glass whiskey bottles. I should go dig it up!

Nothing in this life is better than watching someone learned and enthusiastic. That is why this channel is so great. Thanks again to Jake and Tom. Always a delight!

Your videos take me back to my childhood days when my brother and I would dig in old dumps for treasure (i.e. glass!).

The Ribbed thing that you didn't know what it was, is a bird feeder that went on the side of the cage. Like for parakeets or finches.

What I love about your channel: it's fascinating, well-done, calming, informative, and 100% safe. There won't be anything here I can't "unsee" or anything disturbing. Excellent work. You are a model for all KZfaqrs imo.

How you find the outhouse layers so easily, amazes me.

Love all of the tiny/small bottles you found during this dig. They are my favorites. ❤

I love watching your videos Tom. My mom used to make homemade root beer for the holidays when I was growing up. We used the Hires extract. Great memories!!

I always get excited when I see a long one, so I can just turn it on and not having to worry about finding something else to watch for awhile. an hour and a half. I imagine that probably took you guys over a day to film that. Well im glad I got to cut through all the uneventful stuff

Hi, Tom - the little glass ink well thing at 56:30 was a bird feeder that hangs on a birdcage.

Now *that's* a PIT! 😉 Thanks for your time and labor. Long may you dig! ♥

Wow Tom, never saw so many bottles come out of 1 pit. The Edison bulbs have to be my favorite. Great program and good luck with future digs. 👍

Your first human skull find is going to be an interesting experience.

Yes. They still make the extract. Add sugar and a little yeast water store in a warm dark closet four weeks.

Your videos have brought back everything I learned from my grandmother about antiques, especially glass…

the unknown glass small one, opening on end is a bird cage food container. hooked on side of bird cage. Fantastic finds. love it!

Remarkable mastery of your subject. I really appreciate the text comments--- real scholarship, and totally off the cuff.

This looks like the pit that just keeps giving. Love your channel and especially the history of all these beautiful pieces. Thanks

Awesome finds! The best privy digging I have ever seen!

I am forever impressed on your knowledge of your " finds"❤

I lost count of ink, glue, shoe polish, root beer, pill bottles (amazing they survived)and loads of prescription, ammonia, hydrogen peroxide bottles. Nice to see dishes with vibrant colors, the Edison bulbs and canning jars. What a bountiful haul from this site. Great job team.

That glass lid with a sunburst reminds me of a butter dish. A lot of bottles for you! Nice!

Great job!

Once again ..your rocking it !

Awesome finds, that was a never-ending pit. I'm always amazed at all the unbroken bottles. Especially when there are so many in one spot. Keep up the great work.

You must have the patience of a saint, digging all the machine made bots. But i know how it is, i have dug 2' of 1930's to hit 1870 under.goodluck and God bless

I didn't see the wreath mark on the bottom of the spittoon very clearly but, it could have been a Nippon (Japanese exports were marked as such from 1891 until the early 1920s) mark. A wreath was often used as a mark on the exports but, it usually had Nippon written under the mark too.

Years ago when I was working we were excavating to install tanks in a gas station. The location was at Baltimore Pike and Church Lane in Yeadon Park. At one point in this location there must have been a bottle manufacturing plant on this site. The track excavator was scooping up large amounts of small drug store bottles and when they were drop from the excavator into the Tri axle dump trucks it sounded like it was raining these bottles. All of the bottles had raised lettering for the drug stores located in Philadelphia. I looked them up and did not find any that were in business

Someone Loved his Rootbeer ! It Amazes me that after all that Time a Paper Label can still be Intact - wow ! Totally Loaded Pit! Great Intact early Light Bulbs ! Wow - what a Pit - over 100 Bottles and all the Rest of those Goodies ! Thank You - was so very Interesting indeed - never a dull Moment ! Many Cheers from Australia !!!!

Yay🎉 new episode AND 1:30 long! Thank you!

Amazing how those light bulbs still were intact Might be worth some bucks to a collector

I just found my first embossed local drug store bottle. Your videos are always great inspiration. Love the history.

I love the long videos and it’s really amazing at the story you can tell about the people who lived in the house. Be Blessed!

My mom is a recent amputee, she just found your channel a few months ago. We love your videos so much! ❤️ She was wondering what you do with all the bottles you find? And the pieces? Do you clean them and resell them? Or keep them all? 🤩🤩 We’d love to see a collection video of all your bottles!

The bulb is a nice find. You and your crew are great at what you do. Keep up the great work!

Always entertaining, thanks for all these videos. 😎🍺🇨🇦

Amazing how those light bulbs are still intact.

Excellent pit. Just sheet volume plus some uncommon items too. Thank you for sharing.

1&1/2 hours of quality content.

Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root building is still standing in Binghamton, NY. It's about 2 blocks from my old business. It sits on the corner of Chenango St. and Lewis St.

Always enjoy watching your digs, thank you

Love watching you work. It is an amazing lesson every time!

Hi Tom and jake yes that pit was loaded all sorts but plenty of bottles it always amazing when you find park davies because there was a park davies factory near me employing quite a few people we still miss it I didn't realise it was a amercan company until watching your videos all the best Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧

Always enjoy. I love the history of the items.

The Edison bulb was cool! Great finds! Love watching your digs. Great history. Ty! 💗👏🏽

I am amazed by your knowledge of bottle facts. Having said that: you keep mentioning that folks back in the days must have had really well maintained shoes. What I learned from watching mudlarks in the UK is, that this blackening ink was used too for stoves and pans to keep them neat and black. It was a multi purpose product. Oh, and the ink bottles with the pen rests on the sides are called ink boats ...from what I learned. If you are interested in mudlarking, you can want to watch 'Si-Finds Thames Mudlark' or 'Nicola White Mudlark'. Those are my two favourite Mudlarks.

wow, it took you guys two days to dig this one! keep up the good work, and thank you for sharing

Instant Bottle Collection.

15:30 Someone sure liked their root-beer. 56:30 A bird feeder. That part that protrudes on the flat side wedges between the wires of the cage. A nice variety in this hole. ThX for sharing.

Love your content. My dad and I spent many years together digging through middens and privys in the Ohio Valley, and found many awesome treasures! Once we were digging in an old town dump along the riverbank and found several torpedo sodas and Hutchinsons. We broke for lunch and while we were sitting there, the tunnel which was fairly short, collapsed behind us in a giant whoosh! Last time he ever went horizontal. I have a large brown bitters bottle that is marked Wheeling, VA which is pre-secession glass. My favorite piece! Keep up the digging and be safe!

My father used to make Hires Root Beer in gallon glass jugs in the late 60s and early 70s. It was cheaper to make than to buy.

Tom, I'd love to know what the families life was like and how did they use their back yards to throw away all of the glass bottles. How did they survive intact all these years and not get crushed? Was this a garbage pit for all garbage, or just glass> Give us a little history lesson please.

You are amazing Tom. You will always be my. Hero.😊

so cool! i doubt anyone will be digging up our debris in 130 years -

A pharmacy with a soda counter. We had one in my home town. It was open until the very early 70s.

I think the most exciting was the miniature white bottle it was adorable. Thank you for sharing😊

Glad to have found this channel. I love watching you find treasure underground. Very awesome!

Awesome dig, such great variety in these private home privies! Thanks for sharing!

I think this was the pit for a laundry with bluing, ammonia, porcelain "spittoon" wash basin, decorative perfume bottles says laundry of maybe a hotel? Sending your link onto others! 😊😊

Awesome hole...kept on giving...thanks so much for sharing your finds...🥰🥰

This is SOOOOOOO PHRIQUEN AWESOME!!!! I want to dig up every shitter hole I can find😂🤣😆🤣😂😆

Wow, what a haul !

Looks like you hit the “mother load” some really beautiful although broken pieces. Which brings me to ask….. do you save the broken pieces of plates,bowls,cups, etc . If so, do you sell them? I’m sure there are a few crafters that would love to get their hands on a few of those. Great for jewelry makers. 😊

Amazing!

just rekindled my interest in old bottles when I unpacked my 2 boxes of them I've had packed away since 1993 when I moved.. no digging for me as I like the labels and boxes. saw a couple videos from others that were interesting but did not grab my attention the way yours have, though this is only video # 2 from your channel I have see. . great job with your commentary, and the information up top on the screen and especially the pictures of the old advertising. I'll be watching all of them as time permits.

A good morning to you both, a great dig to start my day. Some adorable little finds love the twirly and the tiny white ornate bottles, super finds all round, I love to see the the patterns on plates and cups. Thank you as always for the share and the time you take to edit, the videos are the best.

awesome digging today

Killer dig man , thank you for you hard work , love the history you uncover .

So many prescription bottles and the embalming fluid makes me think it was a hospital dump of sorts. Any ghosts around? Very cool!

Man oh man, that pit was loaded. Excellent dig sir! High five!

56:35 = water or seed feeder for a bird cage. The nub above the opening slid through the bars.

Wow what a pit,so much stuff ❤

Amazing haul!

You have an amazing knowledge of all this stuff.....thank you for sharing!!!!

Very Entertaining!! Your knowledge is Outstanding!

Wow!

You may say this at some point, but could this house have been used as a boarding house at one time you think? That’s a lot of cleaning and laundry bottles for one home. Also, a lot of light bulbs. So interesting and educational all at once. Thanks Tom ✌🏻🤍

Love watching you dig for treasure

Love your videos and the information/ history you provide. So neat! I think the ink wells and cold cream jars are my favorites .

Keep digging , Tom, love to watch your videos 👍🙏👋

What a fun dig,,ty😊

Another fine glass find, just very bizzy on this one. Much love. Afriend.

Thanks for sharing your video It's so awesome to see the products they used back in the day the old advertisements are so cool to see I know you you work hard editing all your videos ♥️♥️👍⚒️🇺🇸🗝️

aw man! I was hoping you guys would break into an 1880s layer at some point! well, at least the few old bottles you got, happened to actually be some embossed drugstore bottles. not sure what those ones are worth, but I know those are the most valuable ones you found

i love this! so relaxing to watch and i give each bottle a win if you happen to wipe it clean with your glove!

Always enjoy your digs!

What a prolific pit! Great job!

I would love to do things like this. It always amazes me to see what people dig up while searching for things. But here in central Maine it’s few and far between to actually find a place to explore. I do have a small collection of older Pharmacy Bottles (some with the medication still in them) they were from a Pharmacy that my Uncle owned many years ago and stored at his home when he was in the process of selling the building. But he passed away from a heart attack before he could do so.

Wow, lots !!! Nice !!! 💙👊
