Lots of hard digging guys. Keep up the good work.

Yep...that's the way ya do it. Good dig guys !

those crockery pieces make great flower pots for artificiall or real flowers!

Wow, now that's deep ! Pretty cool to see my mason come up out of there ! Great vidio ! 🥰

I did watch the whole program.

Middle of the night finally watched the second half never dug that deep and at least you all found some finds 😶

Holy crap...or crap hole, either way that's one deep one! Nice, nice dog with some great glass guys!👍👍

Tell your Mom I said Happy Mother's Day

I always look forward to your videos. You guys are great for the hobby. I enjoy the auctions as well, just haven’t bought anything yet....my bad....thanks guys ! Bud

I have dug a lot of Ball jars over the years but I have never seen that one before. I think it may be a good one. Love the little shaker too!

Well my best to you ...hope your safe and dig a few Kramer’s Stomach Bitters Wheeling VA, as you guys deserve it!

That’s crazy!!!

Great dig. That blue swirl milk glass piece looks like a snuff bottle. Like a personal bottle not a big snuff jar.

Nice work fellas. That's expert level digging right there ! 👍🤠

Nice digs guys! What a monster privy!! Can you imagine the dudes that originally dug that and brick lined it back in day…crazy…

Cracking finds

I wonder if the people back then felt that dumping a layer of bottles would limit odor coming off of it or if it was purely a matter of convenience to use it as a bottle dump when it was going into disuse. Any insights been gained from asking the local old timers? Might be worth asking around! And they might appreciate an old bottle as a gift... surely one of them will feel specially meaningful to them as they are seeing them. Maybe there could be a set put aside for gifts or "thank yous"... just seems like a nice way to include others and gain local knowledge at the same time!

What a great crew. I loved the pulley system they had going. Everything in barrels. Professional all the way.

What a blast seeing those beauties come up out of that dig!

I'm gonna bid on something from your auction one of these days. I love saving history my friends. Have a blessed Sunday afternoon ya'll.

Man that one was crazy deep!

Very informative and interesting video guys. I was surprised to see such a different method of digging. I thought everyone used tarps.

Wow can't believe that Ball Perfect Mason...Rocks Cousteau just found one like it number 2 and all. Weird. Love it.

Love watching your digs. Lovely bottles!

❤️👍🏼

i dug 10 and 12 foot privy's up in Camden nj. it's a lot of work for haven fun.

Wow you guys are so lucky to live in the states ! All the historical buildings and very early settlers ! Great video. Travis & Cory !😁 Hello from Canada 🇨🇦

That Ball jar with block lettering is the 2nd design they came out with. Yours is only the 2nd one I've ever seen . The block letter ball jars date from 1895-1896 only.

Fantastic video guys!! I really enjoyed watching - And the finds were amazing!! I’ve never seen anyone dig like that before. I wonder which guy came up with that idea of the garbage pails 🪣 🪣 and pulley system. You were right Travis, digging the privies that way was very efficient! You guys found some beautiful bottles! Thanks for sharing the video. I absolutely loved it! Take care! 😃🤗💕🇨🇦

Corey repping where I grew up with that Clearwater Beach tank on!

dang, that's crazy! love the videos

Awsome job guys nice saves. Makes u wonder what was their that needed that deep of a privy. Happy hunting guys

Hey guys I need a new well dug. Can you help me out with that? LOL. That was an awesome dig!

30 feet?! I guess some people were expecting to do some business up above!

Those privies are deep along the Ohio River. I've dug several 14 footers in Cinci and my buddies have dug 40 footers. All the privies I've dug in Dayton average 6 to 10 feet deep. Making me want to get out and probe, especially since the creeks stay up and muddy....

Love your video Crick Diggers! Just love them! Thank you. I have many many privys I got permission to dig on old properties I know the history on. More then welcome to come dig them with me. All the finds are yours if I can just learn how to dig them and learn about what to look for and how to go about it . I'm 100% new to this and trying to learn. When you guys were down like 7 feet or whatever you were and you said the "cap" what is it and what does that mean?

I dug down an old hillside dirt privvy down to at least 30 feet. First thought it was a water well, but not overhead water winch, well bricks, ... but no discovery of anything of glassware when digging down 10 feet - so not sure if anything could have been found for this 1890s-1940s shack house residency. Never did hit any water level, so more-than-likely it was the privvy.

My guess is that it was a well. They ran city water and the well was no longer needed so they put a shitter over it.

I'd like a close up of blue button there are collectors for old buttons too

Hi, I'm in Steubenville, Ohio. Are you in Wheeling, WV? That's only 25 miles from me! Wish I could have been there to see you !!

Real nice one brothers!! Call me a wimp, but that would make me nervous!! Brave it for the treasure I suppose. How is that 2 tined digging fork working? Looked like it was quite the ground breaker in tight quarters. Thank you , God bless, and keep the dirt flying!!

How do you stay safe beyond 5ft. Deep? I'm getting anxious just watching, my husband says there's no way that's safe, he is around trenches alot. Please explain to me, maybe I'm missing something here? Love seeing the great treasures you pull, very interesting

How do you get the ok to dig on vacant city lots? Any info will be appreciated very much bc the cops in my area are very watchful

Amazing bottles. That was half way to China.

Lot of hard work there men. Too bad the pontil bottles were broken. Love the hutch and the early ball perfect mason, never saw one quite like it.

I'm wondering if maybe the thirty foot depth was a well that dried up and the owners decided to repurpose it as a privy!

I wonder if it was a well first then got converted to a privy?

Are your guys backs okay after that dig?

Conan Wellings breaking ground!

Lol 30 minute video a 1 foot every minute 😂

Any bottle dropping 30 feet is hoping that there was a lot of poo there to soften the impact. It will be 1.3565 seconds fall with and end velocity of ~30 mph !!! like a slingshot BB hitting you.

So,using tarps is cheaper but putting the dirt in trash cans is cleaner and easier?

So how does the digger get down in the hole and out again on the deep ones like this one

Shouldn't the dirt be metal detected before being put back into the hole?

You sure that 30 foot one is not a well?

******** SCARCE - RARE ******* I have never seen that version of a Ball (capital letters vs Ball signature) Perfect Mason. There is a period when Ball used BALL in capital letters (1895-1896) in an arched lettering, but the Perfect series is said to be (1913-1922) with the same neck ring. This is aqua and said to have stopped making aqua in 1937 - a non-issue. The oldest origin of the horizontal and straight-upright lettering of the Ball signature underline are the same (1895-1896) period. Some of the many Ball signature underline Perfects (1913-1922) are mis-spelled with all kinds of Perfect switched letters on the jars. To me, this says, that there were many different molds, and glassmaking plants doing all kinds of screwed up production models, testings, and conversion modelling. It is one thing to be all capital letters, but this jar has STAGGERED RIGHT LETTERING. All Perfects are perfect horizontal and underneath each line. That is what directly hit me upon seeing it. I have never seen any staggered lettering on any datable Ball jars. This is machine made, smooth lip like other pictures of the same straight alignment of letters. I have asked a Ball collectors home page to look at the vid photos of the jar and make a statement. As said, I haven't seen this design anywhere in 50+ years of collecting - and I consider it scarce - beyond rare - until someone shows me some internet photos that I haven't seen anywhere with dating a Ball jar and its variations like this lettering - but also the staggering. And there appears to have also been a previous mold of somebodies, rewelded and then embossed again with new lettering. AND !!! I know of no other fruit jar, in any way, that ever had any staggered lettering !!!! So what this mold was prior to having the BALL embedded in, then changing the PERFECT ... AND the MASON is like looking at a Ball 1908 (but not being staggered) and being changed into a BALL PERFECT MASON To me, this is a machine (quasi 1896-1913) prototype jar as an early Perfect Mason, and the conversions of the old arched BALL letters at a specific number of plants, before the Ball signature Perfect jars came out parallel production in 1913. and eventually all plants converted into the Ball signature jars thereafter. Also the other Ball jars Improved, 1908, etc would all be converted, and this appears to be the last modelling that then just was blown by all of the many different Special, Perfect, et al variants. So this jar could be after Ball 1908 thus (1908ish-1913) and an early prototype Perfect mason for the final mold modelling series (1913-1922). So having these characteristic it is scarce: (1) capital lettering, (2) earlier than (1913-1922) models, (3) parallel productions of the BALL and Ball signature models, and (4) MOST ESPECIALLY the staggered lettering and the appearance of being a previous model (and mucked up mold by some mold embosser - that another person just half-assed corrected it as such - leaving the staggered and misaligned lettering. You would think someone could see a mold and notice they were not making a perfect lettering alignment !!! With all of the known various acquistions (and shenanigan forced buyouts) of other glassmaking and fruit jar companies by the Ball Brothers, to me ... this shows that there were (at least) 2 different operations and centers of productions for the capital lettered Ball Perfect Masons, and the Ball signature underline Perfect Masons. There are the older jar making plants (i.e. BALL) and newer jar making plants (i.e. Ball signature underline). It would be good to see where these individuall jars were made, and then the possible closing down of these older Ball jars for the newer glassmaking plants and the Ball signature underlines. But definitely 1913 was a turning point of conversions for Ball fruit jars in having the signature jars thereafter. So this could be some other contracted fruit jar glassmakers, just like Consolidated Fruit Jars were contracted out to many, many different glass blowers. So this glassmaker, no wonder they are scarce, wasn't up to the best mold making and embossing, and would have been phased out (!).

you gotta hutch?!

I’ve got an excavator for that 😉

the bottles is survived is reason people this time maybe hold is has water person thro the water the saver a see lot good perfect condition is tresures

Where are you videoing from??

That would take alout of poop 💩 to fill that up.

So what do you's do with all the blown slicks? Shoe dressing from a food company. That's about the oddest combo I think I ever heard of or else them is some tasty shoes

Historical context?
