Aww, that tiny blue bottle! I must say, I love your safety procedures and appreciate how you guys take away any broken glass instead of dumping it back in. True dedication for the environment! ♥️👍⭐
Becton, Dickinson and Company. The company was founded in 1897 in New York City by Maxwell Becton and Fairleigh S. Dickinson. The company is still active today with over $12 billion in annual revenues with over 75,000 employees. I know of one B&D plant in Sumter, SC. And yes ... they still make medical test tubes, etc.
The Indian on that Nicole looks just like my Grandfather, I used to kid him about it, he was cool with it. He used to tell me about the old ways, I used those skills as a Marine to good use 👍♥️🇺🇸
Is it my imagination, or has Randy lost some weight since he started digging with you guys. He looks healthier and slimmer. Great dig. Always good to see you guys working together.
Lots of Cool old Bottles and a nice WHOLE Crock ! Wow - Bottle with part of its Label still Intact - that must be a Keeper ! That Figurine looked to us like a little Dutch Boy ?!?! Some of the Bottles etc is a Bid of Money !!!! You all had a Great Time and we enjoyed the Video - History Preserved ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
I love watching U n ur wife n friends looking for bottles n other antiques ether on the water or digging a hole 👍. Bless use n ur Family's n Friends n animals n Loved One's .... 💌😇
Good to see you guys paying attention to trench safety, identifying soil type, and what’s going on around the trench. It can be deadly in less than a second.
Leave these boys alone and let them dig! There's a heck of alot worse things they could be doing with their time! Some of us actually enjoy what they do!
This looks so fun ! Gonna have to give it a try .. looking for cheap entertainment for my retirement .. this looks like a good fit for an old lady !! Thanks !!!
Very cool dig, Brandon! Great watching you and the crew out popping goodies! Hope there's a "you know what" hutch buried in there with your name on it! Take care, be safe and God bless!
You should turn the bottles with broken bottoms into wine glasses. Be easy to make a resin base/stopper. Necks could be turned into shot glasses the same way.
It's lovely watching you guys digging up bottles my brother in law Mike used to dig them up in the 1970s and before lockdown my Son Michael and Lisa his Wife went digging and found some cool stuff .. So Hi From Stockport Cheshire UK
What a great dig , by the looks of those bottles you have a nice collection. Hope to see you one day get the Hutch you want Brandon. Always enjoy watching you in the river with your wife and on the dirt digging ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ How is your wife these days?
That was awesome. You said no famous bottles but it sure look good to me. I loved all the different shapes n color of the different bottles. Finding that little boy blue w/ milk can figurine was so cool. Everything was cool n I enjoyed every minute of this video. I’d been happy to find just one bottle LOL. By the way Braden I like your beard. Looks very nice on you. You have the shape of a face that you can wear it well. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😊👍🌟
That is a deep and dangerous hole. It's difficult for me to think that if there was a major and sudden collapse, that they would be able to make it out in time. Take care and be safe fella's!
Very cool and interesting finds awesome just awesome. Thanks for sharing with us. One heck of a fun hobby that's for sure. Bet noone back in the day ever expected anyone to ever wanna dig up their trash and collect it lol
I know of two 1700s settlements here in central Louisiana. Now the land has no trespassing signs. I found a bottle dump on one site years ago but only found cork style bottle necks and broken glass. Barely scratched the surface though before leaving. I was told that old Coca Cola bottles from the local bottler that used to be here are worth 100 each. I found a case of them once in the woods half buried and water that had been in them and frozen cracked the bottoms out of them.
Brandon, you're right about the insulator, H.G.Co. was Hemingray Glass Co. That particular one would have been made within a few years of the patent date. The "serrations" are called "drip points" and were supposed to help rainwater shed off better but I have doubts about how well they actually did that
Love your u tube channel Brandon. Always like seeing what u guys pull out from digging. You and your family have joyous thanksgiving. Take care and god bless Dave Blackburn.
Lots of very cool finds guys. The ketchup with the label is amazing just in the fact the label survived! Great group enjoying it together. Good job Brandon and congrats on the finds guys!! Hope yall tracked down some fried chicken lol. All the best!
With you guys being from the south, I was surprised when at the end you found a bottle from Anoka Minnesota. I went to tech school there in the early 90s and live about 250 miles north of there.
Brandon, Sweet video!!! I sure enjoy when you find different varieties of bottles and new finds. I'm so envious, I wish it was me out there digging. Also I enjoy your digs with Clayton, he does know his bottles. How would I get in touch with Clayton, I'm looking for a hutch to purchase and I saw him dig one a few years ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated.✌
I love your channel. I have learned a lot and recently bought my first Coca Cola bottle. It's a 1945 edition with my town Greensboro NC on the bottom. Later I found a 1915 edition from Greensboro for 75 dollars so I passed on it. I would love to see you get together with the guy from Under the Plains. He finds bottles in the Mid west. It would be great to share each of your expertise on bottle collection and history. Peace out thanks for all the entertaining information.

The Roy(al) ------- tomato catsup bottle in the 8-sided with unknown producer and location. Would have loved to have seen the base embossing for maker's mark and date range of production.
If no one has mentioned it, I think that figure at the end of your video was a “Dutch Boy” paint character. He was on the labels of all the Dutch Boy paint cans.
It was disappointing, but still pretty interesting, I'm new to the digging aspect of bottle collecting. I was watching your older videos, and loving it. Unfortunately I haven't found a digging spot, I collect my bottles from antique stores and flea markets. Can't find rare ones at antique stores. Keep on digging!
I am always in control of collapses on digs. My dig in the late 2000s, 'Ewa Plantation Hospital 1934-70., had to shift concrete pier blocks, yellow firebricks &c. That shield cork topper, I've found a few here, but the red printing was long gone. I found a topper from Rainier, whom had a Brewery on Queen st. 1905-20. Haven't found any Rainier stuff with Hawaii on it. The bottles here say "Seattle Seattle Brewing & Malting. Have found Dai Nippon Brewery, after 1906. The company was dissolved in 1946. Sapporo, among others emerged from that. I've found etched turnmolds, ABMs from them embossed. Their circle with a dot inside mark is very visible.. there are other Japanese and West Coast beers. I've found a German beer from Hamburg, where German Pacific traders came from. I have a paper label from Frazier Ketchup here, my name.
I have a piece of land I wanna dig. It's very close to a creek. Never done this b4. Definitely gonna wait til it's warm again. But umm is there a specific way to start the hole. Go at an angle right ? I won't be by myself or anything like that I ain't dumb but any tips for beginners?
Hello, new to the channel. I love seeing all the treasures you find it's quite amazing 🤩. I have had a vintage Coke bottle sitting in my hutch since 1987 and I just found out that it is a 1915 Ten Pin bottle that is purple in color. On the front says Coca-Cola bottling works, Newport News Virginia. On the back it says 12 fluid ounces, with the letters a g w under that. I haven't been able to find out what agw stands for or what it's worth. Not for sale for any amount but I would like to find out as much as I can and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Brandon, as usual another fantastic video. You have great digs & l wish l could do the same here in North Queensland, Australia but our history where l live has been developed many years ago. Anyway keep the videos coming. Cheers Mate, Pete.

I get beyond excited to see Ohio bottles come out so far away bc it's not common to find them here in Ohio which makes me think WHY 🤔 and I been trying hard and I actually only have 4 Ohio bottles weird
Humm that is weird. I've never dug b4. But I just realized I have a good spot I can dig at right below my house. Where my grandparents lived. I so wanna dig it out lol I just might too
Actually southern Ohio has a lot of old bottle sites..yes it's common to find them here in Ohio along the river or off the river,old schools etc.ive got so many coke bottles made local in Ohio,etc
I e got a spot behind a old school with Cobalt blue bottles , medicine,greens,pop bottles,mason jars,clay jugs, old bleach bottles,but I don't know what to do with the bottles if I went and collected them...everything slides down a hill..old milk glass,etc..one time I grabbed a bag full and sold them a dollar a piece at the flea market,I took 78 bottles,78$
Thats definatly a beer can they used to go door to door with it and fill up glasses and crocks in the afternoon fir all the workin stiffs it was cold and fresh. Ahh. Thanks and as always stay safe.
Aww, that tiny blue bottle! I must say, I love your safety procedures and appreciate how you guys take away any broken glass instead of dumping it back in. True dedication for the environment! ♥️👍⭐

Great dig. The survivor figurine. Wow
You should turn the bottles with broken bottoms into wine glasses. Be easy to make a resin base/stopper. Necks could be turned into shot glasses the same way.
Thank you for taking us along on another adventure 👍
The I Trager co was in Cincinnati from 1891- 1918. Seems to be a pretty common bottle $15-20.
Beautiful finds!!💜💜
Great video! Enjoyed watching it.

I live in England and my local charity shop I found x3 stonewear inks £1.00 each & a cider vinegar with a picture & writing on £2.00 all good
Great vid guys and some nice bottles, but still no hutch for Brandon !" 😀😀
The figurine looks to be a Hummel, which are highly collectible. This is the "Farmer Boy" and there would have been a matching "Farmer Girl".
Good stuff boys
A pleasure to watch as usual
Great video again Brandon!!!!!!😎😎😎 awesome finds as always👍👍 Love those soda’s 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Great video
You should make your own paper labels and put them on the old Flash
Lots of very cool finds guys. The ketchup with the label is amazing just in the fact the label survived! Great group enjoying it together. Good job Brandon and congrats on the finds guys!! Hope yall tracked down some fried chicken lol. All the best!

How do you know how to dig and find bottles?
Have you ever dug a red root bottle
Did they purposely cover the dump site with dirt periodically? If so, how often and why?
