Ben and I had a great day up in his neck of the woods, hunting for new bottle dumps to dig. We covered a lot of territory, finding 4 spots to dig, from the 1950's back to the 1860's

Before I went digging this week, I made a short how-to video on how to tell what era the dump is that you might be digging.

A Fascinating Scuba Find in NH! A Viking style Killick Anchor
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.7 месяцев назад
My buddy Chris looks like he's got some Viking blood in him, so I unpacked a mysterious relic I found scuba diving in a NH river that was created with Viking technology, and maybe, at least in my imagination, a Viking who visited our area centuries ago! It's an anchor for a small boat, and is called a Killick anchor. Hit the subscribe button and help me grow my channel. thanks! #shards #upnorth...

    Nice digs! I found my first ever pontiled bottle this year! I was so excited. It’s a RRR Radway New York from the 1850’s I believe. I went on to find quite a few broken examples in the same pit. I know there’s got to be another somewhere in there!

    Hello from Jeff and son Lew. This was a really nice video to watch and we watch all of them and always hit the like button. Awesome finds and Clover leaf Haverhill mass milk bottle find! We live about seven miles from where the dairy used to be and Roger's Spring Hill farm is about six mile away from us. (Old Bradford MA) I have two Clover Leaf dairy bottles, but not like the one you found. One is half a gallon and embossed in the glass bottle and the other one is ACL ink embossed, one quart sized bottle. We have a good sized milk bottle and bottle collection. We do bottle digging also but do not go diving. We also collect the old telgraph insulators. 🙂 We are looking forward to watching more of your videos. Be careful out there in the rain and thunderstorms. Take care and happy hunting to you.----Jeffrey Hull Jr.(Jeff & son Lew)

Haverhill is a tricky town to find bottle dumps in! There should be lots of digging spots, the population was high enough back in the 1800s. Good luck on your next dig!
