    You killed me with the spittoon the broken pieces were right there. If you planned on cleaning it up you totally should have grabbed those.

      Tom, you had made a reference to finding 1870s stuff in a test pit that went 8 ft down. You had said you were going to excavate that whole area to that depth. Is that coming up in a different video or did that not happen?

    Tom, I was born in 1964 and Bromo Seltzer was always in our medicine cabinet during my childhood and I loved it and even remember faking stomach aches just to enjoy the bubbly goodness of that toxic concoction 😳. I even remember taking the individual pellets to put on my tongue just to enjoy it fizzing in my mouth 😂. I'm about to turn 61 in April and still enjoy probing, digging and detecting whenever the opportunity arrises so I wonder how "toxic" it truly was. Keep up the amazing content 🤙🏽

    • @marydilley4455

    Tom, I'm sorry for whatever occurred to create a need to start your Lost Horizons channel. And I'm glad to see you working on these amazing new digs. I feel like you could host a workshop and digging event over a weekend with everyone paying ?$? For your expertise and an opportunity to go some where with you to learn your productive skills.
    Consider it. Be well and keep up the wonderful historic finds.

    • @TomAskjem.LostHorizons
      @TomAskjem.LostHorizons  13 дней назад +2

      It’s mainly based on what I end up keeping. It’s a case by case scenario. A friend found this one and I informed him that I was just looking to get some videos in and he could keep the best of the best, which I’m fine with. I already have the earliest bottle from that part of the country in my collection. I mainly just look for the earliest bottles from each area that I dig.

    Tom such an interesting dig. I am guessing so many old bottles on the top from years of the ground eroding or shifting from frost over the years? So fun when you find bottles that you have never seen. The local pharmacies and hutch were awesome. My favorite is the jug and chamber pot. Great video, and your continued success in finding lost history.👍👏😀

    Hi Tom. Really, Really look forward to your videos to see what you'll dig up next. You really need to plan to visit some of our old abandoned ghost towns here in East Texas like the Old Aldrige sawmill town here in the Anglina National Forest. A town of 500 residents from 1890 to 1901. Bet you would find some real treasures there. Thanks Tom. 😃❤️❤️👍👍👍👍

    Tom, I first found Sherman & McConnell as "Drugs" in Omaha in the July 1890 Dun. By July 1899 they had been re-named the Sherman & McConnell Drug Co. That should help in dating your bottle. In 1923, they were still the Sherman & McConnell Drug Co. Jim
