One thing that really struck me when I saw the old shovel, was how I personally take any odd metal objects to my recycling center nowadays. Our community recycling center in Tyler, Texas takes cans, aluminum cans and odd metal objects like shovels. The county sells whatever recycling they can, and uses the money to fund park maintenance. Such a surprise to see the shovel still very much intact, such testament to durability.

Buster Brown was a Dutch boy, with long blonde hair his dog was named Tige. Buster Brown was a cartoon strip started in 1902. He was adopted as the mascot of the Buster Brown shoe company in 1904, Buster Browns were still being sold in the 1960s, the company is now called Caleres, they own Naturalizer and Dr. Scholl's among other brands.

Love your videos. Makes me remember back in the early 1980's in Bellingham, Washington where we use to live, a friend and I found a hillside that was loaded with old bottles from about 1910's and we would break them. We were only about 7 or 8 years old then, but that memory has always stayed with me. The older neighbor kid would go down and get the blue bottles and save them. I am thinking that the hillside was used as a dump for the small neighborhood that was started there in early 1900's. Even thou I am in my 50's and broken down, I'd still love to go to Bellingham and dig a little and see what I can find. Thank you for the videos!!!

Our dogs dug up their pen in the backyard (it looked like a ton of moon craters) and they found the old garbage pit. After we began excavating so did a lot of our neighbors. The rain would show up new discoveries. Seems like just about anything was thrown away in the 1800's if it was slightly broken. Even dolls with just an arm missing. We still have all the bottles, marbles, pipes, dishes we glued back and the other things too.
