I’ve had lots of interest on the signs and have sold a few of the best already this morning. I do however have a few of the crusty rusty ones left and decided to throw them up on Ebay! Here is the link! ebay.com/usr/adventurearchaeology
I’m a firefighter here in California how much for one of the crusty signs??? I don’t need it to look great!!!
@@briangilbert3494 Hey Brian, 25$ is what I have it listed for shipping is right at 22$ though. Link above will take you to where the last one is for sale.
I only see one listed
Hey buddy if you get any more signs let me know thanks
Cute little cork top. I love the little bottles especially unembossed for some reason. Great sign cashe. I hope you can restore some of them.
Love the old signs!!!!!
Me too!
Cool finds. Thanks for sharing the adventure. Good luck, happy hunting and take care.
Love those signs!!
Hi glad to see everything worked out with the signs this time.
Lesson learned the first time!
I'm glad you found the signs in the order you did. At least it wasn't 17 signs lost! haha
No doubt haha!
That's a lot of advertising signs! Great finds. As always thanks for taking us along!
Framed up they'll look awesome Brandon 👍🍻
I think so!
That's a crazy amount of signs for sure. Happy hunting and be well Brandon
Love seeing you find old cool stuff! I also am A bottle digger/Collector
It is definitely fun to see what can be found!
The weather here in east Tennessee is just as crazy, we have been known to have all 4 seasons in the same day. Man this creek walk has my mind racing about those signs. I know your just as inquisitive, you wont be able to let it go either as to why and how they ended up in the creek. Im so looking forward to the history you uncover on this one. Thank you Brandon for allowing us to share in your passion.
Stuck in ET myself and it's winter ... wait no spring... or is it 80 and summer but tomorrow is winter again.. Just don't plant yet wait as it will kill your saplings and flowers.
@@lynnlindsay4480 If you don't like the weather, just wait a minute, it will change. 🤪 lol. Love this place though and all 12 season's. No place else in the world i would call home.
Virginia Beach has crazy weather...the American south is weird this time of year.
Wow so cool you found so many signs 😊
Love watching your channel all the way from up north Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks so much!
I get so excited every time I see a new video pop up!
Thanks Brian!
Congratulations on your finds. Always enjoy your episodes. Great job editing and the 'adventure'!
Congrats on yur sign find... 🤓
Nothing like the feeling of you don't know what your going to find and when you do,it's an amazing feeling like no other!!! Great find!! Keep it up!!
Man those are some killer finds!! I would love to find something like that.!! Great video!!!!!
New to your channel. Really liking what you are doing.
Welcome aboard!
This video is made from my dreams, ha ha. Keep goin at it!
Thank you for all the effort you put into this channel. I would say “all the work “
however I can tell that you really enjoy what you do.
I appreciate that!
Now that’s a sweet find. Glad you got to them while the water level was high or they fell apart like the first one.
No doubt!!
That was really something finding that many signs at one time!
That is a cool find. Something different but still saving history!
Glad you went with my suggestion of clear coating and rustoleum. Those would be awesome if you do use weathered pallet wood for a frame. They would sell like hotcakes here at my local shop I frequent of rustic antiques and home decor. Awesome find and cool video! Cant wait till the next one.
Great point!
Our bipolar weather is hard to predict this time of year.. Love your channel bro. Reb
No kidding! Thanks!
Living up in Canada it's extremely bipolar lol
-5 one day and +17 degrees the next lol 🤣
Same here in Georgia 😱
Cool old signs! Only problem now is, seeing ALL those salt signs makes me want something salty, like potato chips! Cool Brandon! Really cool!!
Hahaha no doubt!
wow Brandon you loaded up on the signs haha . i love those !! 💥👍🤠🏴☠️
I dug a roasted sign earlier this week and it made my day. I can't imagine coming across seventeen in one trip! Great creek walk, Brandon.
It was nuts! I bet the roasted sign is awesome though!
The signs are awesome!! Great finds!!
Great save. Hope they turn out well.
Really cool!! Love those old signs!!💜
Great signs! Very nice finds congrats!! Stay safe and all the best!
Another excellent example of ya never know what historical treasures await Those signs are pretty cool
It’s fascinating to ponder about how the heck a salt works company in Louisiana’s - signs ended up in a creek in Alabama ??
I once met “an old boy” from eastern Oklahoma hill country who told me “back in the day” creeks & rivers were basically natural trash cans He would talk about going to rivers with his grandpa to toss out all kinds of trash !
I’m so tired of digging a rural trash dump .... I gotta find me some streams !!
Congratulations ! Once again your Due Diligence pays off !
Maybe it's a sign of things to come.
Good find there Brandon. Makes me want to go jump in a creek and do some poking around.
Pretty darn awesome.
Brandon, look up Lake Peigneur disaster. It would be a great history segment for you. I love the signs!
I saw that and didn’t have time to go into it! Pretty cool history nonetheless!
I went to a new spot a few days ago and found a bottle dump there were like 300+ bottles just laying there, some were broke of course and others were what looked to be like in a fire it was pretty cool, I kept all the ones whole sadly they were mostly slick lol still neat to find
Very cool find Brandon, the clear coat is what I use for signs, and I do both sides of the signs to stop the rust coming through the backs. Alabama math? 😁 I laughed out loud! Don't be so hard on yourself...you're just excited about saving history.
Haha thanks Mark!
Wow that’s crazy! And super cool❤️
That was really awesome find.
Great saves!
You absolutely hit the jackpot with those signs! Nice job preserving them 👍
What an unexpected find, a sign dump, lol! Loving the recent content. I've dug a couple 30s-50s dumps recently, but im still looking for something older. Your channel has really inspired me to get out and look!
Keep looking there are some left out there!
Great video. Hears your sign.
LOL no doubt!
Perhaps this is a sign of things to come? 😳😳😳😉🤦🏼♀️
I’ll show myself out...
Those are awesome finds brother
Very cool.
I would love to buy one of the salt signs!
Killer signs!
Good day again Brandon , now I'm the one that's jealous lol.
You was sounding like the song, Another One Bites the Dust, 😆
Lol
You should sell the extra ones on EBay. I would love to have one. Great adventure. Thanks for entertaining us.
I’m checking in shipping options now. I’ve had quite a few people ask me about them already.
Talk about being at the right place at the right time 😊! Super glad about the signs! Way to go Brandon, you made my day better bro 😎👍😏
No kidding! You must be having a bad day haha!
@@adventurearchaeology no, not really, so so, it’s like you always make me laugh and feel better towards learning new things about our history!
Very cool
Try putting one in white vinegar or sulphured molasses and water if you find more. It will remove the rust and leave the rest (it does look cool tho). You might get a near whole sign out of it. Dont agitate much and obviously handle/rinse carefully. I like matte finish (sometimes) as it has less glare and allows you to see colors better. Workable artist fixative spray for charcoal drawings is good for preserving delicate surfaces too.
Super Cool
Those shells on the reeds are periwinkle
Awesome
Great Idea To Frame Them Up....I Did The Same With A Bunch Of Sugar Bags From CUBA That Were Stuffed In The Walls For Insulation For About 100 yrs, Washed Them Up 'Cause The Mice Went & Did What Mice Do LOL!...ANY/ALL Remaining Where The Print Was Ledgable Were Ironed, Framed & Mounted Behind Glass....Moved Lots, The Two Characters, Rustic Old Restored As-Is & Displayed In Fine-Woodworked/Joined, Encased Behind Glass, Made/Make Great Discussion Pieces For Restaurants Customers
Cross-polarized glasses will let you see clearly through all the reflections in the water. Been around for 50+ years...
Yep I say it often in my videos.
Aren’t those critters called limpets? Thanks Brandon Rox
Several years ago I found a WWII Army wood sign face down in the Mojave Desert (where they trained). It said "Old Latrine" with the Army unit and date. (It was to warn following units not to dig there.) I sprayed it with clear coat to preserve it. Otherwise the paint would have flaked off.
I dug my first sign ever detecting this year a 1930s dukes mixture tabacco advertising. That is a great score you have thier sir.
That is awesome!
Oh man this is gonna be good, I don't have time to watch right now but definitely gonna check it out this evening, Thanks For Sharing
Gotta love work!
Here in Georgia , lol, we call those little snail thingy penny winkles think I spelled that right.
Personally, I wouldn't have gotten bored if you had continued videoing in the river. I hope that there is a follow-up video. I shall soon find out.
Yes they are like a snail 🐌
I love your videos
You really need to try some Oxalic acid on those. It’ll make a rusty soda can look like new. It’ll take away the rust and leave the paint brighter. Cool find!
No !!! It’ll destroy that cool patina !!!
This episode of Adventure Archaeology has been brought to you by Jefferson Island Salt
GA weather has been crazy as well. I think Mother Nature is off her bi-polar meds for sure. Lol I have no words for the score you made on this trip finding those signs. Just WOW! Btw, the way you pronounce the Mexican soda you found is: "Ha-ree-toe's". It was to funny/cute to hear you try to pronounce it. Great video as always.
Love your vids. Keep posting :D
Will do!!
Are they like little snails? We have something like this little critters in our creeks in pennsylvania.
some lovely signs how do you preserve them
I'll make sure to let you know how the two bottle sites that I mentioned to you on Facebook earlier turn out for me this weekend , wishing you good health and dry feet , best regards Lloyd. 🇨🇦✌🇺🇲.
Now that’s a good idea... put frames around them. I’m sure there’s probably more still in the creek though. They are pretty cool. I’d say, good find even if it wasn’t bottles. By the way, what happened to your swing there on the porch? I’m assuming it’s a swing. ♥️♥️😊👍👍
Haha My daughter and I broke it last week! Made quite a crash!
Really cool and clear coating them with all it's flaws and dirt adds to the allure. My biggest question tho is what happened to your swing 😁
My daughter and I broke it last week 🤣
@@adventurearchaeology just a swinging 😏🎵🎶
Hi Brandon, that’s a first for me. Seeing all those signs of the same type. Looking better already. Later, Joyce. ARROW *🎱 ❤️
Me too!
You need to copyright the phrase “No Way!” I smile every time i hear you say it. Im going to start counting how many times you’ve said it in your vids lol. Keep up the good work.
Artists in pastels use something called fixative in a spray can. I've lately worked with a one of a kind about 2x7' foot painted tin sign "Aala Market Ltd." Then there is a hand pointing. This is double sided, and framed in wood 1x4 slat. It was outside, under an awning for many years 1934 to '70s?, and shows it's age. The location of the downtown Kalihi general store is now a park. A present business using the same name, wholesale meats has no interest in it. I called. That auto clear coat sounds like the best solution for that. Dug bottles with discernable labels are sometimes sprayed.
KOOL!!!
Definitely a bit different!
awesome finds. Was wondering if you would be willing to sell one and how I would go about purchasing it?
2:30 if it was from the 70s down it would be a bottle I would LOVE!
I mentioned this under an older video (just found your channel), but even broke off bottle necks & smaller round med bottles (approximately the size of the old Coraciden bottles) smooth of course, can be another revenue stream. My point being, both items I've mentioned can be turned into guitar slides. They are much coveted by guitarists(me being 1 myself). Check the price of glass/bottle neck/coraciden bottle guitar slides. They aren't cheap. Plus you can add the Deep South moniker (we eat that kind of stuff up😉) to your slides. Of course the bottle necks must be polished as with turning broken bottles into glasses. I know how to do it, but haven't done so since I was kid, plus I don't have the equipment any more. I fix guitars now. But you get my drift. Check out the prices of "authentic bottle neck slides" on the internet. Had a brown glass med bottle, from a trip to the base dispensary while I was in the Navy, loved it, it was perfect, but I left it in San Diego when I got out 1977. I recently bought a brass "bottle neck" slide, it was $13+, it was the cheapest I could find, but glass is the most preferred. I looked for your email address but it wasn't listed. Any way, I just thought about it this afternoon, watching 1 of your videos, while attempting find 1 of my slides. Hope I'm not being too forward, in suggesting this. The bottles similar to the blue poison & other med bottles are the type. You're a fairly big guy so if you can put your pinky, ring finger or middle finger in the bottle, that's perfect. They should be just about 2" long (a little longer won't hurt), & about the same for a bottle neck. Some guys prefer bottle necks as they're curved & fit the radius of a guitar neck. Let me know what you think after checking the prices they're asking. Of course those won't be "antique, Deep South bottle/bottle neck" slides. Btw I'm an older guy, used to live in Meridian Mississippi back in 1980. Been playing guitar for 50+ yrs. Hope it sounds like a good idea. I'm sure you could get just as much for a bottle neck slide, as you do for your least expensive glasses. Any way, I've droned on long enough. Blessings.
That is awesome! Also I see you're putting your new camera's remote audio to good use!
I sure am!
My thought is maybe the signs were made right before Jefferson Island went out of business. And then the local distributor had to throw away the signs on Jefferson Island went out business
You got to love school I cant wait to Watch if later
Haha no doubt!
Those wood be cool for La. crackerbarrel restaurants
Ya they would!
I started my collection I need tips cause I have no bottle dumps or anything where I live what do I do!?
The human metal detector 😀😀
Lol
Hi there. On your snails: They are molluscs, yes. They are on the bottom during the winter so they can rasp whatever algae or other debris they can find off of the rocks. During the warm months, they do the same to the grass... as the grass is on top getting all the sun access, so that is where the algae grows. This is indeed freshwater biology, if it were marine bio, that would mean salt water. Fun fact, Alabama is one of the most diverse habitats in the US for freshwater life. We have more fish, turtles, crayfish, snakes, molluscs etc by species than any other state. Lots of the snails you see are either considered threatened or more because Alabama is the only place you find them. We used to find muskrat middens of freshwater muscles all the time on the sipsey (freshwater muscles: Also molluscs, but in the class: Bivalvia (two valves, or shells generally speaking) that were -federally- endangered. Just picking them up would be a felony, lol.
Wow! I didn’t realize any of that!
Fascinating ! Great info
Over here in Arkansas we’ve got lots of critters & such too
What's the name of that song used toward the end?
You remind me of some of my family. You don't have any Cole or Robidoux blood from the Bessemer area do ya? Love your channel.
I do not. But not far from where I’m at!
👍💪 I need to get a metal detector 😟
👍😎👍
Thanks Reed!
these vids are facsinating. how did you come upon this skill trade?
My dad did it long before I was born! I guess it’s inherited haha!
Southern boys cant do maths 😂 lol
Exactly lol hahaha scary to think I work with numbers every day hahaha
@@adventurearchaeology hahahah
If you can figure out how to preserve it, maybe you could save as many as possible and put them in your ebay store. I wish I had some advice for you on how to do it lol. I do like the clear coat idea though.
So far the clear coat is holding!
@@adventurearchaeology Awesome!
