I can just imagine mom asking one of the boys to take out the garbage. And the young lad with a devilish look in his eyes says; i will mom. Most entertainment he had all day, listening to those bottles, dishes, and plates crashing around.:-)

I find your videos strangely relaxing. You are not hurried, and though I know you've seen many of these finds before, you are always pleased and surprised at what you uncover. Great channel!

Another GREAT dig guys!!!! Thank you Tom and Jake

Used to do the same thing 40yrs ago. It was always fascinating to find the unique glassware.

you guys are the greatest bottle digging channel ever created. very niche, I know. but still

Tom, I love to watch you dig, and try to guess what it is before you tell us, but I enjoy it a lot more when you are wearing gloves! With all that broken glass down there, even gloves are no guarantee that stitches aren't in your future! Stay safe.

Saturday night Double Feature! Woo Hoo!

Some really interesting finds on this dig 👌

I cant believe that old map took you to this! Wow! The BEST TREASURE find on KZfaq

Watched it again, just to see you dig the Milan, Mo bottle. Great dig.

Thumbs up, great video, that digging stick is the main tool in your exploration ,really enjoy all the history

It would be interesting if you went into more detail on how you locate each area that you dig.

I noticed when you started doing the color grading right away. some of your older videos seemed a little lifeless, but I didn't realize it until after I saw the change. they look really good now, some of those bottles look so damn pretty. thanks for sharing, and constantly improving

Thanks for taking me along today

Surprising to see shoe polish bottles from Boston all the way over in the Dakota territories . Shows the expansion of goods going west once the RR were built.Sears was the Amazon of that era and would ship anything from tops to houses, right to your door.Don't know how they missed the internet age. Interesting dig!😊

Another fantastic dig Tom.

You spoil us. Although there are others excavating privies and ash pits. The're no comparison with your knowledge and history of your finds, I can't watch another like channel and now I check to see if I miss any or rewatch these great videos that you and Jake have created!!!! 🍶🍾

I think I remember this one from before...those are candy container lanterns...not salt and pepper shakers. They had metal tops , bottoms and handles. 👍👍

The Heinz bottle number in the center of the embossing will get you the date range when that specific bottle was created. #7 - (Sharpsburg handblown, machine made?) (1880-1905) held 8 ounces #14 - (Sharpsburg handblown) (1870-1900) held 14 ounces #36 - (Sharpsburg handblown) (~1879) held 14 ounces #52 - (Sharpsburg handblown) (1890-1895) 8-sided held 14 ounces #56 - (Sharpsburg handblown) (1890-1895) 8-sided held 14 ounces #57 - (Sharpsburg handblown, machine made?)

Last week I remarked on the inked numerals on the inner base of Edison Mazda bulbs..yesterday I examined those in my collection and found that the inked numerals are at the top of the glass filament base where the filaments wires connect to that base..some of the inscriptions were in blue and or black ink

It would be interesting if you included a typical price range for the intact bottles.

These items were from just before the automotive era began. So much change was on the cusp.

I SMASHED that like button 😂

Love your videos! And your entry music as well. I always feel so much better about you when you put on your gloves! Could you please explain sometime the difference between a tooled top and an applied top? Your knowledge is amazing! Thanks, good luck and please be careful.

There was so much broken I cheered when you found something good,kinda reminded me when I was a kid at the dump throwing rocks at bottles and sometimes BB GUNS nothing came out alive

Awesome video 👍👏

Kerr Glass Co SanFran/Portland were the West Coast competitors to Ball Bros of Muncie, Indiana. Both Kerr and Ball had their highly competitive regular canning jars - but also offered less cost and also highly competitive respective Economy and Drey fruit jars.

Nice video thanks ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm so pumped every video you do !!!! I have a permission on rural home in Valparaiso indiana built in 1835 on many acres of land !!! Too bad 2 weeks ago I ordered a probe from old west bottles and nothing lol $100 hopefully I get it soon

Come to Pennsylvania and let's do some privy hunting. I have a location I've been going to that was once a home site but is now a field. I did find the well, which was filled with rocks that I believe we're the structure of the home. I pulled rocks out over time but only made it down 12-15ft and gave up and eventually filled it back in. I believe the home existed from the 1700's to the early 1900's. Still to yet find the privy but did metal detect many times and found tombak buttons, coopers, Indians, flat buttons, and broken glass.

In England on the Thames I watch collectors find those clay pipes all the time that go back 300-400 years usually. Nicole White who has you tube- mudlarking on the river Thames can tell you about pipe as she has collected hundreds. Hope that helps, you found some really beautiful pieces

Thank you for sharing. From the couch in Ohio

Didn't know there was another Scotland, I did wonder when you dug a scottish bottle in a previous video, I only thought it came from here. Good dig, I like the unusual beer bottle, Thank you.

I love these old bottles! I'm surprised u don't find more ceramics and tin cans! I laugh at all the liquor bottles u find!

Loving the end music with the clean glass. Beautiful.

It looked like an old hole for outhouses would explain all the bottle too

Nice high tech digging tool you have there 😊

Woohoo!

My question is how do you find precisley where to start? Ive looked at old plats and all but dont have the info of a pit. Well done. I enjoy the vids.

I'll give er a watch again bc I like you boys

Nice

I keep thinking it would be cool to make drinking glasses out of the bottles with broken tops. Just cut off the broken part somehow 😃

There's another bottle digging site that shows the digging up the bottles and the same bottles after cleaning process....I would love to have you do the same... 🙏 Please?

Not salt and pepper but lantern candy containers. They had metal top and bottom

Pop's here. At what point did you decide a mason trowel would work better than a stick.?

Do you ever find lost jewelry down the hole? What do you do with the bottles ? I collect old bottles!😊

That one looked like a Jennie bottle or something, lol.

Ihr habt eindeutig das falsche Werkzeug. Mit einem Spatel könntet ihr viel mehr Flaschen retten ohne sie zu zerbrechen 😉 Ich bewundere dennoch eure Arbeit und eure Funde 😊👍

Where are you finding all these maps these really old Maps at

I have 35 acres in tx and have found a pit of glass, havent dug it all up yet. Is there a way I could send you pictures with the bottles i have found to figure out the age of some of them?

Eres el busca botellas de cristal, porque antes no se reciclaba, sino no encontrarías nada, un saludo.

Don't get no better Sir

wonder just how many they broke digging them out?

I’m imagining a young boy annoyed to be taking out the rubbish, chucking the bottles with full force and swearing about how unfair life is… 😂

fellas...how do you determine where a privy may have been buried...what do you look for?

Probably the kids job to throw out the bottles and they smashed them .

Wouldn't it be better to have some kind of water jet? I know you don't want to be in mud but if you're trying to save something fragile maybe you could soak it up some how.Just sayin.

I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what you mean when you say”nothing home.”

opalization = of the glass - another few hundred thousand years it will be better opal !

Didn't people have glue back then? And I have plates and serving pieces from early 1900s, went through lots of people and kids, still not broken!
