- This Ghost Town's Riverbed is full of River Treasure! Mudlarking for antique bottles!
This week Miranda and I head out to an old logging town where a Saw and Grist Mill once stood on a river bank! This town tossed anything and everything in the river a century ago and we are excited to see what rare antique treasures we can uncover!

It must make your hobby 100x more enjoyable that you have a wife that not only supports it but hops right in there with you.
Agreed 🫶
For sure James!
The plant is mountain laurel. It grows from Maine to Florida. We are covered up in it in Georgia.
We are also covered up in Mountain Laurel in Western North Carolina
I thought so! ☝️I agree.I think that's the name to.🙂👍😎
Favorite line of the day " it's a rock you loser" her joy made me laugh
Fun finds!
The white/pink blooms are Mountain Laurels
I need to plant one of those.
When you asked about which of your videos make me click on them, I think I really like hearing the banter between you and your wife between the history stuff. She adds the flavor to the sauce. 😉 Shout out to her for being naturally entertaining.
Also, beautiful creek! Next time I am in Alabama, I need to do more eco tourism.
Don’t tell her that or she will be the new star of the show hahahaha
Leaches have families 😂😂
😂
Those are rhododendrons they're mixed up with mountain laurels
Fun watching you and your wife enjoying nature and history together.
Yep mountain laurel. Beautiful
First time for me! I live out west, & we don't have them out here. Gorgeous flowers.
native rhododendrons and mountain laurel flowers.
DOUBLE BROOD OF CICADAS THIS YEAR.....JUST GETTING STARTED...YOU WONT SLEEP LOL
Yah they’ve been crazy!
Thank you Brandon and Miranda, love everything you guys do. From someone who has been shut in since November your vids are a window to a world that I may never be able to get back into. I just appreciate being able to participate any way possible, so thanks again and keep the excellent education for all of your followers coming, and we'll keep soaking it in.
Glad you can come along with us
Great video you two! Really like that start bottle. What kind of acid are you using to get the grime off?
Muriatic is the way to go’
The cicadas are loud here in Arkansas too , they haven't been like this since Thomas Jefferson was the prez
Luckily those critters aren't loud here in NE Texas yet.
Thanks for the information. I have been searching for bottles for years and just discovered there were videos digging. I have not had a lot of success in finding embossed bottles. Just found my first hutch from Eufaula, Alabama! It is not a coke. In fact, I have never found a straight side coke! Maybe someday, I just have been busy doing nursing. All the bottle education from all of you is much appreciated!
🤔☝️not sure.however!I believe that's mountain laurel.my mom💖knew every tree,plant,& flower. 😊💖👍😎🙂☕
That is a Rhododendron. Very pretty bushes. Insanely obscure fact, the honey from these plnts is hallucinogenic.
The cicadas haven't come up out of the ground yet here in Pennsylvania. I've always liked the sound of cicadas on summer night's.
I hope your water is free. Never leave your water running.
No shortage of water here.
I love my earrings that i bought from you guys!!! So beautiful! ❣️❤
So glad you like them!
My hubby is a chemical engineer. He provides biocides to treat water scum buildup. They can be rather stubborn to remove for sure 😊. Looks like you have a great solution.
Awesome saves, y'all !!! Too bad on the broken ones, but the whiskey glasses are very cool 😎✌🍀
Haha…when she said loser. Great video guys! Also I agree, when you start feeling “ticky,” it’s never fun. Everyone should get to enjoy that at least once in their life.
Thankfully, I don't have the cicadas in my area, but I do have a train barrel thru past my house about 15 times a day. I like her waders! Those would be great to fish in.
Happy Mothers Day!# "honor thy mother💪💖.-Jesus💖"☝️💪🙏💖!🙂☕
Dumb question, what's a Gris Mill? Love your videos!
Happy to see you're wife appears well recovered from that nasty injury. There are plant ID apps.
Great video! I would love to catch one of those Gar's... We don't have them I'm western NC.
Awesome video, but i am a few days late to the creek party. 😂😂😂 she was definitely having a great time. Awesome, as always.
Fantastic day out. Thanks to both of you for sharing your adventures.
Our pleasure!
Here's an idea for all those beers you find. Have them cut into glasses and have your logo blasted onto them after polishing. I bet they would sell fast.
Ticks and spiders and snakes and gar... you all are brave to get out there. :-)
Looks like Mountain Laurel. The flowering tree/bushes
Beautiful area to look for bottles, I have never seen a soda water. That old Coke should make a great shot glass. Enjoy the bottle show yall
Such a fun adventure for ya's
some great finds, especially the modern beers, too bad about the broken bottle tops.
the star bottle came out so nice! post acid soak ! take care Aaron and Miranda and be safe!
Don't worry Brandon, we've all been fooled by a rock before LOL. Glad you guys got giggles from it though. Great video!
Relaxing creek walk and again some really nice bottles! Was that muriatic acid at the end? I'm guessing that would be bad to rinse off into my septic tank, probably ok if I had city water but we have well water out in the woods. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
It was!
Mountain Laurel! We have them all along our creek banks in NE AL also.
I love that you take broken bottles and make something from them.....
Have to admit that creek sure was pretty. Especially those big white flowers. The only thing I could think of was mountain laurel but I don’t think I’m right.
That was so cool you showing how well that acid cleaned up that nasty stuff on it. It’s really a awesome looking bottle. I’d keep it.
♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟
Thanks Shelly!
Have y’all ever tried floating a clear plastic drawer on the water in order to see the bottom really clearly??
Thank you for this fun video with the wife ( sorry I forgot her name my memory is like washing sand, it drifts away ] great energetic and lively, this is your best video for a long time. But i love all your vids
It's been too long and this got me itching to hunt again. As soon as these flood waters recede I'm getting in the moisture.
The bottle Miranda found appears to be what's called a three-part mold (3PM) bottle. If that's the case then it dates from 1840-1870.
I figured it was in that bracket!
Your leech on the bottle is a water penny. Not the actual name I believe but we call them water pennies here in western PA
One of favorite videos! Your bride made me smile/laugh more than once....just seeing her slide down the bank at first part.....you are a lucky man.
I believe the blooms are from a Mountian Laurel or Rhodendron
What can I say, I love the river video's the most!!!
I like the drop down windows with supplemental information.---And that star bottle sure was a beautie!
Great video! Would love to see more at that spot,Thanks
THANK YOU LOVE YOUR VIDEOS........ 👍🙏>>>💚
TRY THE NITRIC ACID BATH
First saw the Budweiser cans 54 years ago, first ones had a pull tab that you threw away but fish were swallowing them when tossed them overboard
I could see using those pull tabs for shiny lures…… maybe that’s a new use haha
Nice time on the creek with your wife! Nice looking bottles ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Always fun in the water!
Awww that walk in the sun....seeing nature & discovering those bottles makes for good video ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Always learning something on your channel....leeches have families, too! hahahahahaha
Bahaha
Once again I thank you for the amount of dedication and content you and Miranda put out for us weekly.
I especially enjoy your shorts. Where others take snippets of the original video , you take the time to do a vignette. Thank you my friend…
What great finds congratulations 🎉😊
Lovin' them crick walks !
We are getting a double whammy here in Illinois with the cicadas.
U.S. too!
Thank you for another great video!
I just love the water walks and it highlights why - seeing the bottles come out even a little dirty is better than mud!
I tend to agree haha
Awesome finds keep them coming
what are the ingredients of your acid bath? that was an amazing transformation...
Straight muriatic acid
The tree with flowers is a Rhodedidern .
How do you make them into whiskey glasses? And what acid do you use?
Muriatic acid and I keep my whiskey glass method to myself to keep the competition down 😎
Thank you for showing a cleaning process. I haven't watched another channel that shows this process.
I am curious how collectors/hunters get the bottles ready for display or to sell. Again, thank you!!!
Love your channel and the interaction with your wife. It's good to see couples share love and enjoyment of time spent together!!! ❤😊
What kind of acid bath do you use? Do tell!
That old bottle neck looked like black glass from the 1850s
Very possible!
Kalameia related to rhododendrons
The plant looks like a rhododendron
Star bottle cleaned up nice. fun day in the creek!
Gotta love the love song of the cicadas, lol! Great find withe the star bottle!
They are everywhere hahaha
Do you tumble broken pieces of glass for jewelry?
Yes that’s how we get them nice and rounded
Super Cool Adventure
I love that ya'll are a team now ❤
Which acid do I need to buy? I've got several creek finds that need cleaning before I can make my videos.
Muriatic is the way to go!
@@adventurearchaeology I've got some of that already. This week may be the week I finally giterdun 😂
So enjoyed walking with you guys...🥰🥰
Thanks for coming
I honestly thought that soda water bottle was a sprite bottle since they did have stars on their bottles too.
Long before sprite haha
Yikes! How long do those cicadas stay around?
They die pretty quickly but it seems they are coming out of the ground as fast as they die haha
Leaf app on phone will tell u trees
I just love the creek hunts
What kind of acid was that? Great video! I love it when a person's significant other can join in...❤
Muriatic!
@@adventurearchaeology that's cool to know. I've always wondered how you would clean these cause washing it in dawn just wont do it. Love the videos.
Google photo check the tree
😂🤭☝️"It's a rock.you goober!"lol 🤪☺️💖so funny!👍😎
Nice hunt, Brandon and The Boss! Great finds! Those star bottles are some of the first i ever found. Take care, be safe and God bless!
Great video !What acid are you using, and will it take the white sickness off ?
Cheapest muriatic acid I can find!
@@adventurearchaeology thanks !
Where is this Creek located asking from Ohio
Central Alabama
Lol, Green Bay WI Coke bottle all the way down there.
You never know right haha
That’s blooming mountain laurel!
Sure was pretty!
Great video’s
What's the acid that you put your grimey bottles in?
Thanks
Muriatic!

Always nice to find something new and different, thanks for another great video

Thanks for the creek walk!
