Have you ever considered making a video showing the items cleaned? It would be a fun and amazing follow-up video. Thanks for the hard work you put in.

I love how you display the bottle/relic information on screen. It is soo helpful. Thank you I have learned so much from watching your videos. Keep it up. Stay safe

Would also be cool to see a follow up video from each dig. Back light the glass and do a walk through of all the pieces

Boy it would be fun to see a video of your collection

Cool video! My previous house had 10 acres that was subdivided off of an old farm. I hired a guy with a bobcat to help me clear out some old stumps. He dug up what appeared to be an old dump site for the farm and found a few very cool bottles. Two of them were like original Dr. Pepper bottles of sort and the ingredients said it included coca. One of the bottles was mint and the other had a chip in it. I told him he could keep the mint condition bottle and I kept the chipped one because he could have just pocketed both but was honest enough to show them to me. After watching your video I wish we had "explored" more...no telling how much more we would have found!!

It is mind-blowing to me how close that cable was to that treasure trove! I never miss a video.

I liked the bottle you found from Kistenmachers in Davenport, Iowa. As a young boy in the late 60's I would go downtown in Davenport with my Grandfather and we would visit Kistenmachers. My Grandfather knew them well as he did business with them all his career as a Dr. of Chiropractic at the Forrest park Sanitorium. There were two older ladies who ran the store. I only remember the one. Her name as I knew it was Mrs.Buaha. This brought back some good memories from my early childhood.

Hi Tom, you have the best job in the world even though you would be an archaeologist's worst nightmare, I find these digs fascinating, the soil is so soft and friable and your knowledge of these artifacts is really extensive and the historical background that you print is so welcome,, thanks.🥰💕👌👍👍💪⛏🧤

I happen to come across one of your videos and decided to watch. To my surprise your videos are awesome. They keep me very interested and setting on the edge of my seat waiting for the next item to come out of the dirt. Thank you for sharing and I shall be watching the rest of your videos. 😂 Have a good one. Excellent dig site!!!

Wow. A gold mine. I love those antique bottles. Great find

I would love to see a video of you cleaning everything and repairing and what happens to everything. Love watching!

That was a fantastic salt glaze pitcher, found intact! Harkens back to the day when we would dig the old Seattle Dump, circa 1880's-1920's adjacent the Aboreteum, Washington State built the 520 freeway over. You have rekindled my fascination for "digging!" Dig~on!😊👍🐿

Love the way you put the details on the video so it can be read as you find it. Great job.

This dig produced some exciting in tact and unusual finds, what a treat to see. Broken but still worth seeing was the red plate and the orange transfer piece, never seen orange before, I think it's beautiful. So much was uncovered, loved it all and the tiny perfume bottle with the stopper in, so cute. Thank you for journey.

I’m not sure how you got into this, but to go into a backyard, shove some metal rods down, and discover this amazing products is just mind blowing. Maybe these aren’t the most exciting videos on KZfaq but the sure are interesting. I would not think I would spend 52:06 watching someone dig up an apartment backyard. Thank you and your camera person for taking the time and energy to make these videos. The quality of the bottles is amazing and something you don’t see anymore. Not to mention the claims that the sellers of these products made. Of course, since there were opiates in a lot of these products, that would explain why people thought it cured what ailed them!! 😂 What do you do with all the finds you have? There has to be 100’s if not 1000’s. Thank you again.

this is amazing!!! probably my favorite dig I've watched yet. the dishes and colored bottles in this one were incredible.

Miss Digg! How in earth did you manage to miss cutting that power line? That's talent. My thoughts on the beer Stein, before I saw your notes at the end of the video, were, first, maybe Prohibition? Or maybe WWI was taking the young local men off to fight and be injured or killed, so the family was hiding their German roots to prove their loyalty to their new homeland? (My grandmother's family went through that, they stopped speaking their native German in public). But after I read your end notes I wondered if maybe the husband wasn't an alcoholic and either the wife or one of the kids threw his drinking mug into the privy in the hopes that he wouldn't be able to drink any more. I wouldn't have thought of that until I heard an elderly man talk about his own dad being and alcoholic who always promised to stop drinking, and then he started telling his wife he did stop drinking, but the man who told me the story,, about 9 years old at the time, would go through his dad's business building on the other side of the driveway from the house. He would go in to sweep and do other chores, so it gave him the excuse to find all the cubby holes where his dad would hide his malt liquor. Part of the building was field stone, and he looked for loose stones in the wall. When he found the booze he took it to the trash heap to dump it and smash the bottles. He hoped each time that he'd never find any more. That sad story came to mind when I saw that perfectly usable beer Stein.

And here, I get excited over a 1979 Olympia beer can i found in my backyard. Cool video!

Excellent batch!! Excellent work!!! 🤗👏👏👏

Liked this find a lot. I collect and search for old house hold tins. Been doing it since I was about 9 years old. I'm 65 now. Kinda picky about them. Have to be tins they used on a daily basis. Some of the tins today are kind of cool but I don't open them. My granddaughter is interested in them. She finds them fascinating so I'll pass them on to her when I leave this life for my next journey... Thank you for your show. I'm hooked!😊

Man! I wish my dirt looked like that! I live on a rock pile!

Love your videos. It is awesome to watch you find real treasures! I think I finally got caught up on watching your older videos. Keep on digging and showing us glimpses of history through excavations! ❤

I’m always so amazed at how dark the and seemingly easy to dig. . Here in Georgia our dirt is so rusty red due to the iron in the ground. And heavy clay.

I appreciate the way he displays the vintage label using the Picture in Picture. So cool.

The electrical wires thought might prevent you from digging but you managed to get down eight feet deep. Amazed at the beer stein, assorted dinner ware, the blue magnesia bottle and many catsup. Exciting when there is embossing on some and you can date the time frame each for manufactured. And thank goodness for loose soil and no water. Thanks for another great video.

Yep, fantastic!! All the greats in one place, and intacts were unbelievable!! Thank you!!😍💖

This was a GREAT DIG❗❗❗❗❗❗ So many awesome finds.i was so happy for you❤❤❤❤❤❤

Another amazing video my friends, keep them videos coming. always happy to see a longer video from yall. thanks for taking us along for the ride, I enjoyed this one

Love that OLD German Beer Stein - You are soooooo Lucky ! All those Odd Shaped Bottles as well ! Treasure Trove !!!!! Tiny Little Girl Doll - how sweet ! Wow - an Intact Stoneware Pitcher as well ! They loved their Ketchup ! You got Your Intact Hock Wine Bottle - Congrats ! That Blue Plate is Stunning ! It was a Perfect LONG Dig ! Many Cheers from Australia !!!!

Wow, cool !!! Full complete Stein mug 👍🏻💙🙏🏻👊

These things are sooo cool. And intact❤❤❤❤❤

Tom, one of these times, if not done already, need to share and explain how you know what you know and do what you do …. How you find these places/old maps. I’m certain you are encouraging to young folk to do similar or go into archeology …. 💙💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👊

Awesome great to see your videos my friend thanks for sharing 👍 😅

Wow,great dig! So much awesome things! Thanks for the upload👍🏼

Great dig. That salt glazed crock (with intact handle!) was definitely my favorite find in this dig. The painted and transfer ware plates were also a nice added bonus, and even though not intact, they helped paint a more complete picture of the folks once living there.

Awesome finds, some of the coolest stuff I've ever seen you find. No one who knows me would believe how many hours I've spent watching you pull old bottles out of the ground. Decades ago i got a degree in history and i think thats the appeal for me. Some people dig up bones and others dig up glass but its all history. I really appreciate the research information you include in the video's. Thanks for including us in your dig. That beer stein would totally become my new coffee cup after a thorough cleaning.

Thank you for this! So very interesting to see all the old bottles, etc. What a fabulous find!!

Those bottles are awesome! I have a very small collection of older bottles but nothing compared to these! Beautiful!

One of my favorite digs… love the variety!! Awesome!

I'm glad you mentioned that...as a kid. Yes, I remember a lot of folks used their one hole or two a drop spot for discarded items.

Thank you for bringing instant history to us. Definitely 1 of the more interesting subjects on youtube.

Just amazing how much glass each household had. Everything from toothpaste, to cosmetics, to medicine, to food holders, was glass. The second largest manufacturer must have been bandaids and gauze.

Amazing hole. Such a variety of items, like a good start to a bottle collection right in one pit! Enjoy the vids.

Love watching your digs! Love old things!

This is fun wish i were digging w you, interesting glass etc history. Thanks Tom from Boston MA🍀

Enjoyed, lots of fun. Love ya much. Afriend.

Wow, this is the best, always love your channel, thank you for sharing.

Some really great stuff you guys managed to dig up. Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏👍

Love what you do I can really DIG IT!!!!

I love your videos. They're like ultimate unboxing, also soothing and educational.

I've noticed that you're wearing gloves for the last several posts... Glad to see... Good hunting!!! You hit the jackpot!!!

Enjoy your videos! I used to work installing underground utilities and would recommend using shoring when digging as deep as shown in the thumbnail. Safety first, don't want to get buried by a pit wall sluffing off.

The house I lived in was once part of a farm in Seaside, CA. The back patio sunk one year and revealed a cystern that had not been filled, but a concrete slab poured over it which finally cracked in the 1989 earthquake. Also, when digging up the back yard to clear the soil for a vegetable garden, I found layered burn pits with wire, a boot, asbestos shingle pieces, etc. I jokingly said that I hoped not find the carcass of a horse. Near the fence was a 4 foot wide and deep pit of empty booze bottles. Fun to explore your own back yard.

Hi Tom and jake really good finds it was well packed with bottles 🍼 the German mug was in good condition a lot of history in that pit both have a good weekend Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧

Thank you for another great dig. Cool to see a bottle from my home town of Cincinnati.

Very interesting that you would find the Lebenswecker oil bottles. My ancestors were Wendish which came to Texas in 1854. They brought this device with them. You can see it at the Wendish Heritage Museum in Serbin Texas.

WOW, this dig was an awesome dig. Great job on the find...🤩

Thank you again for sharing

Fascinating to watch! Thank you for sharing!

I love old bottles

Wow 😮 Tons of beautiful stuff in there!!

This guy is one hard worker!

Amazing dig and finds I love the small sample bottles and the pitcher 😊

Awesome haul , amazing how deep these pits are , and how many layers. Thank you for sharing

Thanks for sharing.

Boy Tom all the bottles are amazing. Just love your videos. Hope your wrist gets better cant wait till the next one.

That dig was absolutely amazing!!

It would be awesome if you guys would do a sit down episode where you explain how things get buried and give a general overview of what all happened in those areas (the history of the area) where you dig, your finds and maybe some insight into the history of that era in general.

you guys better be careful when you are digging! I'd hate it if you guys quit uploading new videos. Thanks for all your hard work over the past year, its been fun watching you channel grow.

I love the close up digging!

Well, I take it that someone in the household had tb but they sure loved the ketchup and wine though. lol Quite a few great finds too. Those glass chimney's and the dishes were nice. Happy digging and have a great day

Another great job. Thanks. Best wishes.

Some really great intact finds!❤

What fabulous finds! Everyone different (almost). Very nice dig. UK.

This dig is making me drool

Very cool, first time I've ever seen your channel. I like the history you add at the top.

Always enjoy your videos. Crazy what’s under ground thanks from Sc

That was the pit that kept on giving. Wow

GREAT FIND!!!

So tonight I'm not feeling very well, I have a bad summer cold and I'm sore and tired from coughing so much. I'm not quite ready to go to sleep, but what can I watch that's interesting and won't tire me out? I know.......😊

Thank thing is amazing! great work Tom

Nice catch on the beer mug!! NOOICE!

I was tearing my hair out at the casual approach to digging here! It would have been so easy to smash something. Also, I hope all the broken pieces were collected - their value lies in their overall historical interest, not so much in any reselling value they might have, if that's what the intention is with this stuff.

Love seeing young people wanting to learn about our history. I have some old medicine bottles from a old farm in Lamar Colorado.

Oh my gosh the German beer mug is amazing. What a good dig.

They must look so much more beautiful washed and displayed.

Just loving this what’s find

That beer mug was amazing.. lots of variety in this pit...the doll head was creepy af!!!!!!!!!

Business model adjustment, allow a patron to tag along because this viewer would pay to dig one time as a bucket list item check off. Totally dig the digs, you dig? 😂 seriously love the episodes. I’m all about all artifacts so I cringe sometimes but all in all wonderful content. I see many items I’d buy. Cheers.

Wonderful pieces congratulations 😊

Totally awesome!

Great dig!

What an amazing pit, I couldn't imagine finding one that good.

Great finds especially that stein

thanks for another episode in the outhouse archeology saga!

Awesome jug !!!

Awesome finds

Got up late stayed up later, wouldn’t miss my favorite, your amazing! Keep up the good work, always a pleasure.

You have found some great finds in this one !
