AGGHHHH About time! I found an archeology channel worth bingeing! It's winter time here in Ontario. So its resurch time😫 Great well thought out content. Consistent editing. Magnetic, personable host. Your doing an awesome job. Keep it up brother!
Best digging channel on RUclips for sure. Chigg is an awesome guy..he's definitely not anoying to watch ..he's the only digger I am happy for when he finds good stuff
Since the ceiling has been washed and sculpted by flowing water, I’ll bet the bottom of the cave looks similar. That means you aren’t near the floor of the cave yet! Keep digging!
That is awesome. I had a collection of old blue bottles I found in the desert. It got forgotten in an attic when we moved once. I would love to dig in that cave.
The blue bottles are from the Emerson Drug Company, and the product contained therein was Bromo-Seltzer. The name "Bromo-Seltzer" came from one of the original components of the formula, sodium bromide. The formula also contained acetaminophen, sodium bicarbonate, and citric acid, and in earlier formulas, acetanilide. Those particular bottles are from between 1911 and 1930, give or take a few years. It was used to aid heartburn, and due to the sedative effects of the sodium bromide, as a cure for hangovers. Very cool find Chigg, maybe someday I'll get to team up with ya!
The "dyed" bottles had bluing added to make them look blue as decorations. My Grandmother, born in 1913, still did this into the 1990s (with Rawleigh bottles) and told me it was common practice in her day. In latter years she used food coloring instead of bluing
Digging in bottle dumps and old house house trash dumps was my favorite thing yo do as a kid into my early adulthood. And these are my favorite Aquachigger videos
As mentioned in a previous comment, the corrugated sheet metal looks like the wear surface of an old wash board. I can remember my Mom using them to help clean some of our more heavily soiled clothes when I was a small child back in the 1960’s
😵😵😵😵😵😵 AAAARRRRR my head is swimming from all the blue bottles. That was an AWESOME Dig. You pulled some really cool finds . Sorry you sinus got messed up from it . Thanx for going back . hopefully you can get back there again and do some sifting. The digging with Matty show was great. see ya on the next
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family! Awesome cave! luv the old bottles, i love the amber and various blue ones, especially the old perfume one, would love to have those in a collections, one of each of those actually . Nice still shots of the finds! Be careful with all that old dust! Too bad you didn't find any whole crocks in there but I guess i wouln't expect there to be any. seeing the cave struckture i'd say that looks like it could go down quite a ways once it was cleared of everything. It might be a good idea if the owner could be talked into letting you clear it and excavate it, might even add the point could be of historical value and be marked on record cave sites, (sorry forgot organization that does that). I'd sure watch that! if you do get the chance to clear it. :) Awesome video as always!
I have a bottle just like the one you're asking about Chig. Its an Art Deco design and I found a lot of them on line but no one seems to know what was sold in them. I've kept mine and store dry noodles in it because it is such a nice looking bottle.
I don’t know how ya do it aqua..I sure wouldn’t feel to comfortable crawling around in a cave... your amazing..awesome videos. Thank you for making them and sharing.
Nothin' like diggin' with the Chigg, at Blue Beards Bones & Blue Bottle Cave! That was some pumpkins! WOW! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
the glass you found at 5 min was a snuff jar...came with a metal lid and when the snuff was gone you had a neat little juice glass. ive found dozens of them.
You're partially correct, as that style of bottle with a wide mouth and no neck was often used for things like salves, ointments, and creams which could be prepared by a pharmacy but the blue glass was most common for commercially manufactured products. Medicine bottles tended to be dark brown glass, and anything potentially dangerous - poisons, acids, etc. - usually came in small brown glass bottles with narrow necks, similar to the little patent medicine bottles he finds.
That copper and wood you found is from a wooden wash board. Maid-Rite brand if I'm correct. You can verify the pattern stamped into the metal on EBAY with ones for sale. As you know in the plating process copper is usually used as the first layer to the virgin material. The outer layer...whatever it was was used to not allow staining or rust onto the clothing with the board constantly exposed to water and whatever type of detergent was used.
Lol my 3 1/2 year old son said he wants to dig bottles like chigg when he gets older. We love your videos chigger thanks for the great content to watch
where I am from . the runners would use small blue bottles for samples to show how good the shine was . it was 2 $ for a blue . and 10 $ for a ball jar . back in 1957
I remember hearing something like that down here in Georgia; I knew it had to be shine. He'd have lost interest in anything else before he could collect that many. 👍👍✌✌Merry Christmas
Wow wish i could find that many blue bottles over here 🏴🇬🇧 i have the ones ive found (🤔15-20🤔)along a shelf in my greenhouse/shed.. vids are always excellent 👍🏻
The rippley metal attached to a board looks like a part of an old wash board they washed clothes on back in the good old days. The kind of flat shaped jar bigger at the top tapered looks like the one back in the 50s that pickled pigs feet came in. Love digging wish I could be there digging too. I enjoy your videos on everything.
You are so lucky to find all that blue bottles :). I would so much love to have a blue bottle or two. I'm from Cape Town South Africa,and here we don't have even the slimest of chanche to do any thing like you're doing - cannot dare to go to a rubbish dump.
Boy someone was addicted to those blue Bromo seltzer bottles. Time for blue bottle give away. Think brown bottles Listerine?? Great video you must have been in heaven with all that stuff. I think this has been definingly one of your best dump site digs. Happy New Year!! Keep the videos coming.
I'm gonna need you to excavate that whole cave and sift all the dirt. ;) i loved watching this and am curious to see what other random and odd objects are in there.
That shot glass or "drinking glass" you picked up is a jar for jam or anything that would come on a jar and when the buyer was finished with the product, they could use it as a drinking glass. I believe those are from the great depression era! HH&GL!!! CHIGGGGS ARMMMMMYYYY!!!!!
The Thomas Carol and Son is a Whiskey bottle. What a great dump! Ever watch the Si Finds channel? He has filmed some Victorian dump digs and Mudlarking on The Thames Enjoy your vids so much! Cheers!
Great watching you early this morning Beau! Some really cool finds in that, hence the name, "Blue bottle cave!" I finally got an awesome detector, Nokta Makro Simplex+! Un upgrade from my Bounty hunter tracker IV. Merry Christmas!
The corrugated blue tin is a scrubbing board. Some were very large for the washing on Monday, and some small for sink washing inside the house for womens unmensbles. I still have one and the best ones were of glass made the same way. They were set in wood with a large lye soap holder so that when you scrubbed the clothing you would use the soap to get the worst stains out of the clothing. Brenda
Awesome chigger Lhasa nice bottles and Georgia well skating time for the end of the year as his time say merry Christmas happy New Year and stay blessed until next year
Good thing it isn't my property or that would be my new fort..i'd dig it out another couple feet, make some natural shelves and put everything on them that i found in there. I'ma die the day i walk into a cavern and it is full of blue bottles, but it's gonna happen cause i'm out every summer looking for them. Awesome video Chigg.
Well you can tell I started Christmas early don't even know what I was talking about but I do enjoy your videos you state last have a merry Christmas and I'll see you on the next👍🎅🥂
seems like an odd place to dump stuff. At the beginning I thought it looked like a fire pit, but the ceiling of the 'cave' was green. Just seems a bit 'eccentric' action to dump one's trash in a cave entrance like that...... speaking of eccentricities, I DO love a bottle dump! There's a mother and daughter team in England that collect sea glass and pieces of broken, colored glass. They make homemade beads out of them. Quite fascinating, labor intensive for my liking. Love a good mystery too.
Blue bottles are very collectible Chigg, but only in good condition so be a tad bit more careful digging them up , please. Maybe you should take them home and sell them. You’re such a guy! 😜😉☺️
As a firefighter we still have to go into those old fuse panels and check each one after a structure fire to see if the owner stuck a penny in them. People still do it to this day. Problem is if there is a surge it will not blow and will cause a structure fire. If we find it the insurance will not pay.
Is there a lot of copper in the rock in that area? The blue/greenish color on the walls suggests that to me? Wouldn't catch me in that small of a cave, that is why I'll watch you do it!! Cool stuff.
Blue glass bottles are VERY collectible. So much so, that people create fakes to sell by dyeing plain glass ones. (A simple wash and scrub reveals fakes, however). Would love a couple of this kind to add to my collection!
There’s a marsh behind CoOp city in NYC, believe it or not, that has even older bottles from City Island, NYC, New Rochelle etc. Used to be the dump for all over. All kinds of stuff. Quart sized blue bottles , ceramics, silverware and countless medical bottles from City Island that was a main medical hub long ago. Still packed with stuff because no one knows. Got a couple of hundred but then got bored.
Really interesting watch, thought I spotted a blue bottle that you missed Chigg? Lol, Merry Christmas Chigg and happy new year to you and your wife, 👍🙂
The little blue bottles are un-embossed Bromo Seltzer bottles. So someone was suffering from constant headaches. I usually dig them where I find a lot of whiskey bottles.
Apparently, Foley & Co made medicinal compounds. The blue bottle might have been from their popular "Honey & Tar Compound" which was for colds and used for pain relief. They were around from the 1870s to the 1920s.
The metal with the ridges is the metal scrub board part of a wash board for washing clothes. I have a complete one that is getting the same green patina on it.
Man! I wish you could have taken all those little blue bottles and give them to your friends 😉. They are cool! Could have be bitters bottles? Medicine? Or booze? Quite the garbage dump there. Yes! Keep digging it out. Sift stuff if you can. 😉
What a cool cave. It would be really cool if the owners would let you clear that whole thing out. Great little cave to have on your property!
AGGHHHH About time! I found an archeology channel worth bingeing! It's winter time here in Ontario. So its resurch time😫 Great well thought out content. Consistent editing. Magnetic, personable host. Your doing an awesome job. Keep it up brother!

Since the ceiling has been washed and sculpted by flowing water, I’ll bet the bottom of the cave looks similar. That means you aren’t near the floor of the cave yet! Keep digging!
The bottle with the blue residue in it could be a bottle of bluing which was used for laundry whitening.
I definitely what you to go back!! I can’t imagine how much mystery is in that cave. Hopefully you get to uncover it 😍
Never stop being you. That is why we watch and love your videos.
Cool day, pretty nice to save 🐓🐔that little guy. Thanks to you all ❤
I think it's great how you bring the viewers into the dig
That is awesome. I had a collection of old blue bottles I found in the desert. It got forgotten in an attic when we moved once. I would love to dig in that cave.
I'd love to have a few dozen of those little blue bottles. They'd make a beautiful string of lights.
a thriving business is born!
Fantastic idea!
I would love to see you do a full excavation of that cave!
I LOVE OLD BOTTLES! I'D LIKE TO HAVE EVERY SINGLE ONE YOU FOUND! WHAT TREASURES. THANKS FOR SHARING.
The slow-zoom slide show as a recap at the end is excellent! I love it.

Thank you very much for this comment
I have an older bromo seltzer with a backwards Z on the end of seltzer.
The "dyed" bottles had bluing added to make them look blue as decorations. My Grandmother, born in 1913, still did this into the 1990s (with Rawleigh bottles) and told me it was common practice in her day. In latter years she used food coloring instead of bluing

REALLY enjoyed the BBC! Can't wait for the next dig there!! Thank you Chigg! Kelly/Indiana
Chigg is awesome! I love watching his videos! He shares my love of history and shares his knowledge with all us viewers!
As mentioned in a previous comment, the corrugated sheet metal looks like the wear surface of an old wash board. I can remember my Mom using them to help clean some of our more heavily soiled clothes when I was a small child back in the 1960’s
I LOVE blue glass and blue bottles!! I'm having an absolute fit right now!
😵😵😵😵😵😵
AAAARRRRR my head is swimming from all the blue bottles. That was an AWESOME Dig.
You pulled some really cool finds . Sorry you sinus got messed up from it . Thanx for going back . hopefully you can get back there again and do some sifting. The digging with Matty show was great. see ya on the next
Hey chigg! Just wanted to say thanks for the always quality content. Have a happy holiday season!
So much cool stuff, glad you came back, surely there is some gold coins under all that.
At 5:05 that is a snuff cup. They used to sell snuff in cups like that with a metal lid. So that Copenhagen lid you found might go with the cup.
Great video my friend! Thanks for bringing us along on your blue bottle cave adventure. Enjoyed it. Happy Holidays and happy new year! ~ Gypsy
😂 stubborn man!!! Can’t force you💕. You just can’t resist!👍🕊
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family! Awesome cave! luv the old bottles, i love the amber and various blue ones, especially the old perfume one, would love to have those in a collections, one of each of those actually . Nice still shots of the finds! Be careful with all that old dust! Too bad you didn't find any whole crocks in there but I guess i wouln't expect there to be any. seeing the cave struckture i'd say that looks like it could go down quite a ways once it was cleared of everything. It might be a good idea if the owner could be talked into letting you clear it and excavate it, might even add the point could be of historical value and be marked on record cave sites, (sorry forgot organization that does that). I'd sure watch that! if you do get the chance to clear it. :) Awesome video as always!
I saw the video when you found it today and saw it was recent and was disappointed the cave video wasn’t up but the same day, here it is!!!
It makes me learn so about gardens👍🏾👍🏾
Amazing
Legend has it, hes still finding blue bottles in his dreams.
That was fun, Chigg- thanks for the early Chrismas present! Merry Christmas to you and yours, and to all of Chigg's Army!
I have a bottle just like the one you're asking about Chig. Its an Art Deco design and I found a lot of them on line but no one seems to know what was sold in them. I've kept mine and store dry noodles in it because it is such a nice looking bottle.
I don’t know how ya do it aqua..I sure wouldn’t feel to comfortable crawling around in a cave... your amazing..awesome videos. Thank you for making them and sharing.
Merry Christmas Mr Chigg, thank you for all the hard work producing your videos. All the very best to you and your family.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year, to Mr & Mrs Chigg.
Nothin' like diggin' with the Chigg, at Blue Beards Bones & Blue Bottle Cave! That was some pumpkins! WOW! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Ok Chigg loved the bottle dump, but let’s get on to spelunking 🤣😂🤣 Great job buddy!!!
Good morning x I've heard those blue,bottles contained pharmaceutical preparations, even poison. Lol happy huntin

I have really enjoyed your videos this year. I hope you and all of the special people in your life have a very Happy Holiday Season.
Oh my gosh! I love all your videos but this one is my all time favorite!! I sure hope you go back and dig some more despite the stinky poop :). Wow!
Amazing! I would love to have a bunch of those blue bottles to get tops for and use to store medicinal herbs and the brown ones for tinctures.
I'd love to have the blue ball jar and several other jars. Neat find. Thanks for sharing.
They're very nice aren't they?
Chiggers is a very interesting guy.
Peace
Thanks for another great video Chigg. Keep up the good work and Happy holidays.
Lol my 3 1/2 year old son said he wants to dig bottles like chigg when he gets older. We love your videos chigger thanks for the great content to watch
Wow a 42 minute AquaChigger Video!! Christmas came early!!
Sweet...loved the blue bottles...👍
Cant wait for the next....

I live in Ind. so the south is not far from the north . it is just in the proof . north was always better .... lol ..... and a happy new year
rain-soaked Carollton, GA here.
Merry Christmas Aquachigger, Have a Great New Year !
fun video, thank you for sharing. Bones and Bottle cave. lol
I love the way they just sat there watching you do all of the work. :-)
I am sure it did not bother the Chigg...
Omg you’re breaking my heart! You need to screen that dirt. I bet there’s all sorts of buttons and marbles in there. Possibly even coins.
The corrugated sheet stuff is what's left of an old washboard
lucasdog1 Oh yeah. I was thinking it was some kind of radiator core.
Yep- I have a glass one with the same pattern on it.
I think it was also used to line the interior of the iceboxes
I also vote washboard. My Grandmother still had her's. The give away is the criss-cross hash marks on the ribs to help add scrubbing action.
Doubt it
Have yourself a cobalt little Christmas!
17:20 Likely a Foley's Honey & Tar cough remedy.
Happy Holidays, Chigg!
Nice thos g Carroll and sons whiskey flask. Common but I still don’t have one in my collection. Definitely worth keeping
cool adventure and a nice Video :-)
Wow wish i could find that many blue bottles over here 🏴🇬🇧 i have the ones ive found (🤔15-20🤔)along a shelf in my greenhouse/shed.. vids are always excellent 👍🏻
This cave looks okay, but sometimes you go so deep underground i would get claustrofobic.respect for that!👍👍
The rippley metal attached to a board looks like a part of an old wash board they washed clothes on back in the good old days.

Little blue bottles once a day. Laudenam time!!
Damn my poor spelling!
“I can see it’s got corn in it!” 😂🌽💩

Awesome one. Thanks. 🧲🎣🇨🇦
Great video. Lots of fun. That sheet metal piece was to a washboard.
That clear bottle you asked about is a 1937 balli Mason jar I found one too! Love your videos
1920's? Great video. I absorbed every moment of it over coffee
Good thing it isn't my property or that would be my new fort..i'd dig it out another couple feet, make some natural shelves and put everything on them that i found in there. I'ma die the day i walk into a cavern and it is full of blue bottles, but it's gonna happen cause i'm out every summer looking for them. Awesome video Chigg.
New to the channel, and I am hooked! Cant wait to see more and go and binge!
Blue bottles are the best
I'm going to buy some for my bedroom that has blue and white decor. I love the old blue Noxema jars too, so pretty.
Window pane?? You naughty boy chigg!
Loved the bottle stopper, thanks for the videos.
Good one chig did you ever look into digging posthole banks 👀👍👍
Well you can tell I started Christmas early don't even know what I was talking about but I do enjoy your videos you state last have a merry Christmas and I'll see you on the next👍🎅🥂

What kind of shovel is that...could really use something like that myself!!!
Really interesting watch, thought I spotted a blue bottle that you missed Chigg? Lol, Merry Christmas Chigg and happy new year to you and your wife, 👍🙂
Brilliant finds there. Al

Man! I wish you could have taken all those little blue bottles and give them to your friends 😉. They are cool!
Could have be bitters bottles? Medicine? Or booze?
Quite the garbage dump there.
Yes! Keep digging it out. Sift stuff if you can. 😉
He does take them and gives some to friends he said.
Very cool yeah?
So I've been following some of the videos you've posted and like to do the caving and exploring too. But curious what state your in
