Where do we get our probe rods?
Go to the website below, and scroll down. There is a weird probe with a wide tip and the top of the page. IT’S NOT THAT PROBE. The standard starter probe is a 4 foot rod with a small welding bead at the end. This is not a paid promotion.

Where do we find the maps?
You can go to the library of congress website and type in “sunburn map” or “plat map” and then the name of the town or city. Most town maps from across the U.S. are not on the site, so there is no guarantee, and they can sometimes be hard to find. You can also try the same keyword search in your state archives website, which will likely produce better results (especially for smaller towns).

Great video as always! Have you thought of doing episodes showing how you clean your finds and talk about what you found more in depth? I can't be the only one that would enjoy seeing that.
Absolutely love to see that!
Yes! Do it!
Please 🙏
I would definitely love seeing cleaning your findings. Please🙏
Oh man, that would be fantastic. example questions How long does the outhouse last. Are they hiding the booze bottles? Is it the only way to throw things out? dDo you display your good ones. what is your oldest bottle? If you need more questions just ask. Great Idea.
Hot diggety dog! A new dig video!! Yay! Stay safe, fellas. I am really looking forward to new digs and finds.😊
Love your digs… wish you showed a bit more of the cleaned finds at the end!
The "seed cup" is feeder for a bird cage relatively unchanged through the '50's at least
Thanks,Tom.... Also,a big shout-out for the awesome behind the scenes supporting crews 🇺🇸!!!!!
Yes...thanks to all the crew...🥰🥰
So many unusual things in this dig. So many broken dishes, makes you wonder if they were throwing them at each other when arguing.😂
I love watching you dig in the dirt. It's relaxing.
Beautiful glasses. Old light bulbs. A Lot of neat things. Stay safe Tom.
You always show at the end everything you found, it would be great if you could show a second time all cleared up, like watching though,
Hey, love the vids man!! Just an idea for ya…you should put a sifter over the hole when your done digging and sift the dirt when you fill in hole for old coins, buttons, marbles, pipes, etc… I think you’d find a ton of smalls that way!!
Wow...loved the cranberry glass tumblers and glass "cane". Good haul on a great effort.
I’ve been binge watching for about a month now, wow, what a great show ya’ll! I really enjoy all the embossed pieces. Looking forward to the next episode……..
never mind.. I should have watched more. I doubted this was finding stuff live... loose dirt.. but later I see him pull something out of the packed dirt in teh sidewall. That couldn't have bene planted, imo.
this is one of the best video's you put out.
Omgggg, I'm obsessed I love it all. The old bottles are beautiful. Great job!
I just read the post on FB, wow, shocking relevations, sad.
It must be damn cold there. You're clothed up in very warm gear. Not your usual attire. You're a die hard!!! Love it!! More Power to you!!
Nice Haul and I enjoy watching you find TREASURES from the Past too!!
Come to Tennessee and dig at my house. Early 1800’s mansion. Two cisterns and maybe a well. Insurance maps show multiple outbuildings and stories are told about a blacksmith shop. I found a huge rock with melted iron all over it.
Great dig! Lots of broken dishes, this one. Some amazing finds! 😍😍❤
One of my favorite videos yet! Thanks for the information you add, besides.
What a beautiful bunch of bottles those red glasses are amazing. Love your videos Tom .always waiting for your next one❤❤❤❤❤
What a killer hole of wonderful gifts, just amazing. This is my second favorite hole you’ve dug! I love these videos!! Thank you for sharing history that would otherwise be forgotten and lost to time and like 8 feet of dirt.
That Yankton SD bar glass is truly awesome. That Uneeda Biscuit piece is early Nabisco.. Also nice.
Good one ! I'm glad you keep all the pieces of the porcelains I find these the most interesting and beautiful.
I would like to know what you do with the things you find. Do you give it all to the property owner, or do they let you keep it? I would love to BUY the china and ceramic pieces to repurpose them into some garden art for my garden. If you get to keep the things you find, you could bundle up broken pieces and sell them by the pound. I'm first in line.
Do you have a shop??
In 1890 Vincent van Gogh died. Sitting Bull died. 1891 no basketball yet. 1892 Lizzie Borden killed her mother and father. These bottles are old.
I live in a house built 13 years before that!😅
The older I get the less old 140 year old bottles seem.
1890 my great grandfather was born. He had his youngest child, my grandfather, in 1923.
So wild that you were the first person to hear the exact sound of the filament in over 100 years. Thanks for sharing
Hey Tom , I really enjoy you hunts I'm a new viewer I was wondering how you clean those bottles and glass ware for display or for selling something? Maybe do a quick video on that ?
That was packed with weird and wonderful finds, who couldn't Frozen Caroline. Thank you guys for the dig and awesome zoom ins.
Frozen Charlotte.
Living in St Joseph, Mo, finding that bottle from here was way cool!
nice! you know, ive found a few beer bottlers from st. jo in yankton over the years. they must have been a brewing hub or something. they probably shipped them up the missouri river right to yankton. that would be my guess. they are actually pretty good bottles.
Would love to have seen the lovely bar glass you found once cleaned up. Thanks so much for making these videos. I love waiting to see the next wonderful piece you’re going to pull out of the dirt.
I love this pit! Had more than just bottles. So fun!
Never seen a frozen Charlotte in a glass tube!National Biscuit Co. made a lot of tin items also! The sample Dr. Kilmer’s is nice.So many whole lightbulbs in one hole along with lots of shoe polish yet no shoes,& so many broken dishes,maybe a large family lived there?The Cranberry Glass is beautiful!Never seen the glass pickle jar lid before! Seems the family was well off,even their trash is is fairly good shape!I dug a small pill bottle once & on the inside is a label for dental floss!A fun unusual digs!
Thank you, Tom!! I always get a lot out of your videos. Like holes. I've got a lot of holes, big holes in my back yard. It looks like a freakin mine field back there...
@@jimmylarge1148 Because I've dug it up looking for treasures...
IMHO the item you thought might be a blown cane is most likely a glass whimsey or end-of-day piece. The blowers would have some fun at the end of the day. I've dug hundreds of privies, but in my day we didn't have the easy to use video cameras. You could make your life easier, especially caving in the sides by using a four-tined potato fork with the two outside tines cut off. We always used these. Makes the whole dig go three times faster. But glad to see you're enjoying yourself, taking it slow and filming for others to enjoy. Very nicely done. Love the hutch :)
It took me a minute to figure out biscuit porcelain is actually BISQUE! LOL
BTW, you mention looking for "Sunburn" maps at the Library of Congress. It should be "Sanborn maps". They are also sometimes available in your local public library or university library.
It was nice to see the architecture on the house before you began to dig
It's great that you got most of the pieces for the cranberry glasses. They look great!
Hi 👋 👋 Tom and hi 👋 jake another fantastic bottle hunt 👏 I'm always amazed tom your knowledge of dating the bottles 😊have a good weekend tom and jake 😀 Andrew south wales uk 👌 👍 👏 😀 🇬🇧
Hope you are out digging amazing things! Miss your videos. Favorite channel
Yep, found it
Those people had more broken dishes than the hotels you've dug up. It must have cost them a fortune to keep replacing these plates if they were well-to-do, you think they would have found a higher quality serving staff. Always enjoy these though thank you
Love the cleaned up pieces at the end, that glass cane is amazing!
I love this channel lots of information for us rookies. Thanks Tom 👍
Great finds! Gratz!
That was an awesome dig
Tom you keep telling us the the type of top a bottle has but for people like me i have no idea the difference could you explain the difference while you dig. Also what happens to the bottles you find are they available for purchase?
I went to FB and found FB page - and it stated this young man has been locked out of this channel by camera person! Is this true???? Sad if so!
They were well off they had light bulbs hanging in the outhouse!💡💡💡🤗🤗
How do you research and get permission for these old sites? Do you donate to museums, fund your own digs, fundraise to finance your work? Just a fascinating channel!
I'm subscribing to ur channel because u r so knowledgeable & get so excited about ur finds, but when u r introducing ur sites u look & sound like u wish u were anywhere else. I'm only saying this because I think more people should watch u, just smile & give them some of u when u r actually digging. U r amazing
Super fun !!! Thanks for digging !!!
Went by the Kilmer "Swamp Root" building today. It still stands in Binghamton, NY. Fun fact: Binghamton is the childhood home of Rod Serling from The Twilight Zone.
Tom has his own New channel “ Tom Askjem “
That cup you called a seed cup was for a birdcage, seed feeder.
Great digging! Now I'm going to your Tom Askjem channel.
Fascinating
Hey! Great video. I wanted to help you out with Castoria. It contains no castor oil. It was typically used as a child’s laxative
Do you ever use a metal detector over the dirt you’ve removed? I wonder if there could be any jewelry in there. Maybe an accidental fall into the outhouse.
Tom when àre you going to send us some new videos. I have watched your old ones over and over. Looking forward to seeing New ones soon.i hope???
The glass "cane" is better known as a whimsy, used in parades. So many times they would be made at the end of the day when glass blowers would practice and this was an item they made often
A. Very stylized group of eclectic items. Simply amazing finds. My fav is the globe hand blown with the twisted design. The dolls head and one of the shoe polish bottles but all of it was spectacular. Glad you found a Hutch too 🍾🧭
THIS GUY MUST HAVE BEEN DOING A A LOTBOF DIGS BEFORE. HE IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND INFORMATIVE OF THE THE THINGS HE FINDS. VERY INTERESTING FINDS
My mom has an old house from 1905 in collinsville Oklahoma if your interested in dogging there let me know...
I’m guessing this was recorded during cooler months and I enjoyed it tremendously. It’s already getting 90s here in Texas. Be safe and Blessed
I hope your well? Haven’t seen any of your videos lately. Blessings, Mark
I'd love to see the pieces cleaned up and maybe tell us where the items ended up? Do you sell any of your finds? I would love a piece or two of broken China pieces with the beautiful, bright colors! Watching your videos always makes me want to go dig up my yard...😂
I would be curious to show that tile to the home owner to see if there are any like it still in-use in the house!
Get yourself a pinpoint metal detector. You're missing out on potential old coins.
Just a correction - it’s Bisque (like bisk). Love the vids!
Incredible dig. I’m amazed how deep you dig sometimes. The hutch is amazing. So many amazing finds. Great job!
I haven't seen any actual prices for turn of the century olive oil but what I've read indicates it was primarily a Spanish import and was "very expensive". I went looking as I was curious about the bottle sizes. They are so very small by today's standards. Price may have been what kept the bottles smaller. Also a side note,, the primary use back then was as a salad dressing ingredient. I found this interesting.
Do you ever come across old coins? Please show those as well.
You should be rich soon! Great video!
Those folks were really hard on their breakable 'china'. I've watched a lot of your You Tube films and this one had more broken 'china' than most. Love your digs!
Well Done, Tom. You may have heard me yelling at the screen to
save that glass chalice pedestal........ I think I've got the packrat gene
saving everything.
Tom, that was an amazing did with so many embossed bottles. Loved the porcelain statues and the cranberry glasses. The small sample jug was bool as well. Congrats on the blob. Awesome watch.👍👏😀
Great dig! That little advertizing jug from Paducah was my fave.
I believe when refer to biscuit glassware..it is bisque....😊
It’s both
Nice and stinky it looks like! They sure were hard on their dish ware, some very nice finds!
was it worth the work to dig this things i know you got some good bottles
I pray that you are doing well... it's been sometime...The original bottle digger... Sir Digsalot...
You must have a house full of this stuff.
You must have a house full of this stuff.
So, does this mean there will be no more Below the Plains done by this young man?????
Tom started a new channel under his name. Tom Askjem.
You can Clearly see that this is FAKE and This is not a Close to BACK YARD, Look at the video behind the house, which the ground is different than the Last Minutes of the VIDEO where are all Finds.
Question: What the heck do you mean by 'pickle' bottle? No way pickles would fit in those narrow necks. Relish?
Amazing things you find just wish you were a little more careful when digging
Amazing that everything you find light bulbs, they're intact.
Looks like they treated their dishes as disposable or the old man was a dish pitching drunk...lol
Below the Plains, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!
That’s wild man….what you do,and what you find is amazing.👍✌🏻😉
One person's trash is another person's treasure. =b
@16:10 my eyes might deceive me but that looked more like a candle stick holder than a vase. Correct me if I'm wrong plz.
I'm curious - when you arrive at a location like Yankton (presumably you've already identified what you think are the most promising sites based on the insurance maps and other reference materials), how do you approach the property owners to obtain permission to dig? Do you typically have to pay them for digging on their property or do most agree to it without expecting payment in return? Do any require a sharing of the revenue from the artifacts you dig on their property?
Have you ever thought about being saved Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose from death 3 days later so we could have enteral life in heaven confess your sins and accept Jesus as your savior and Lord over your life and believe that God raised Jesus from the dead and confess with the mouth Jesus is Lord Romans:10-9KJV That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
🤔 I'm thinking very shiny shoes and a squeaky clean colon.
Nice finds!
Color that deep is a huge surprise
❤❤❤❤❤😊
Interesting glassware. Collectors would pay money for some? Wouldn’t they Tom.
Someone was obsessed with shiny shoes. Probably in the military.
I always assumed people in the past were more careful. But considering the amount of broken glassware clearly such is not the case. Judging by the experience of my 60s upbringing the people living at the turn of the 19th century were seemingly far more careless and/or clumsy?
