47 minutes of peace and sensibility in a maddening modern world. Thanks for reminding us what our ancestors lives were like before it got all plastic and disposable. Thanks Tom x
PeppieP no argument regarding peace, but literally everything he digs up would have been considered disposable, they wouldn't be there if they weren't.
one suggestion i would make is that i would love to see MORE of the cleaned up artifacts at the end. seeing the plates cleaned and glued back together was awesum. there were several other things i would have enjoyed seeing clean as well. as always, love watching you neck deep in century old poop! kudos on the new channel, looking forward to more.
I would too but I imagine he has tons of glass bottles and plates that haven't been cleaned yet or if they ever will. However, it would be nice to see more detailed photos or videos of the ones that he does show at the end. I would keep watching.
If you ever find yourself in ne Ohio, I have 2 1860s houses, a hotel and saloon and train depot site steps from house. I’m too old to dig them, I wish you could! The neighbor has them surfacing in her back yard sometimes.
@@TomAskjem. Anytime ! Everything is still standing except the depot but we know where it stood. It drives me crazy thinking what must be down there lol
Seeing you have a great personality and experience excitement in your favorite thing is nice to see. So sad it was hidden for so long. Looking forward to seeing how your new channel grows. Congratulations.
I miss the music from your old videos - it set the mood for the frontier feeling. Thanks for taking us along Tom, we always watch your videos when they drop.
Sounds like the wind is blowing above you....glad you are down in the pit.......maybe fire up that lamp burner you just dug up and keep you warm..........great job....thanks
Hello 👋🏾 from New York, You found some amazing finds. My favorite find was the porcelain figurine. Thank you for bringing me along with you. I can't wait to see where you go and what you find next 😊
The little “pitcher” in the beginning is a cruet. They would use this for oil and vinegar. Maybe they would use one for the vinegar and one for the oil. This is so interesting. Even the bricks can tell you a lot. I learned there are actual brick collectors out there.
The beautiful glass container with missing top my great grandmother had one. She called it a drizzler..like dizzling vingerate over a salad. Her set was cranberry bottom to the lightess pink.. beautiful..
Enjoyed your digs Tom, I’m glad you found some good things around all of the broken glass. And am glad that you now have an awning to keep you dry, that weather in ND is so unpredictable of late. I look forward to your next video.
I absolutely love your RUclips channel. I've always loved history matter fact. When I was In middle school through high school. I had strawdays and history. I love pretty much everything about it. Seeing your videos and all these things tells an amazing story. It's also why I love crystals and agates As well, because even rocks can tell a history. And it's just amazing, and it's really amazing. How things can be in the ground for hundreds even millions of years, and there's still in great shape. Thank you for sharing what you do I do enjoy your videos very much.
Thank you Tom for making these videos I am a 68 year old big fan and look forward to seeing how knowledgeable you are in each video. Keep them coming and God Bless❤😊
Is that rain I could hear in the background? Always enjoy watching you dig for the artifacts. Thanks again for a super show! Nice looking blue and white plates...ty for showing the cleaned up stuff...so cool.
In many movies we see households and dinner tables and the most common dinner ware seems to have been the Blue Willow pattern, I guess that was Hollywood. You have dispelled a notion I have had for over 50 years 😮. Thank you for setting the record straight.
Well done mate. Following for a while. You are amazing in that you find all those relics and that they are not lost to time any more. Thank you for bringing so much history to light. Absolutely awesome. Posterity thanks you. Cheers.
Another fun one. Damn kids anyways. Looks like you might be in that area for a while. Hope you find more. We will be here to watch. Hope you're doing well. Take care. 😊
I really enjoy watching your channel, im impressed and applaud you for your honesty in dating your finds. Please keep digging because i do not subscribe to other bottle digging channels because its pretty obvious they haven't done their homework.
You find some really cool stuff. What I'd like to know is, do you save this stuff you find and add it to your collection if you have one. Or re bury afterwards?. Thanks for sharing with us. Enjoyed it very much.
Tom, I know you already have plenty to do, but I wonder if with a little research if you could find the answer to if there had been a big storm at one time that broke a bunch of windows. Hail? Wind?....BTW great video! I really like you showing the shots of what the area looks like where you are digging, where buildings were and history about the town/site.
@@TomAskjem. Already did brother. Viewer base will increase but will take time for people to find ya!! Did you find the time to open up your site for posting finds you want to sell?? You mentioned awhile ago that was a goal...
I can’t believe how much broken window glass you had to dig through. The kid rock destruction was a bummer. But I guess that’s how pits go, some great and some just a lot of digging for little return.
question for you when you think a pit is done do you ever take a small 2 to 3 foot rod and prob the sides just to make sure especially in a very old pit ? Also nice video
Do you find much 'Solarized Glass'? i.e. The solar radiation colour change to purple/amethyst when Manganese Dioxide has been used in the glass metal melt to 'de-color'. It happens with buried and UV exposed glass, like the power insulators. I've seen 'clear' bottles with purple hue too.
I always wonder if an excess amount of glass could mean there was a tornado or derecho. Would be curious if other digs in the area from the same time also have a lot of glass.
Tom, love that location, they has to be more there. Nice soil to dig in, are you there alone doing the camera as well? Very happy for you with your new direction. When is your book going to be available? Take care.👍👏😀
I’m so glad you have your own channel now! Your natural spirit is so much fun to watch! Your enthusiasm is addicting!!!
47 minutes of peace and sensibility in a maddening modern world. Thanks for reminding us what our ancestors lives were like before it got all plastic and disposable. Thanks Tom x
PeppieP no argument regarding peace, but literally everything he digs up would have been considered disposable, they wouldn't be there if they weren't.
I feel like I'm watching a man freed from his captors and years of forced labor!
It's wonderful to see you truly enjoying your passion, Tom.
Thanks for watching! I’ve definitely been enjoying life a lot more lately!

A lot of people ask for this but he generally doesn’t do that.
Awesome video. Made my day. Always looking forward to your videos. So many beautiful bottles. Just love those pickle bottles. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m glad that the awning kept you dry, it’s fun listening to rain while you’re digging 😊
Oh! Is that what that was!
Another great dig Tom. I look forward to your videos every Saturday.
If you ever find yourself in ne Ohio, I have 2 1860s houses, a hotel and saloon and train depot site steps from house. I’m too old to dig them, I wish you could! The neighbor has them surfacing in her back yard sometimes.
I appreciate the invite!
@@TomAskjem. Anytime ! Everything is still standing except the depot but we know where it stood. It drives me crazy thinking what must be down there lol
I just love the little tiny bottles 💚💚
Keep digging Tom ..👍 📷 💂 👀 UK 👍

Brilliant as ever Tom, thank you.
Always love your video’s. You include so much information and I really appreciate that, thank you!
I like him showing around the area of the digging site(s), where houses were, etc.
Another great vid, Tom!!! It’s amazing how you find these pits! A great dig! Thanks for taking us on the dig with you!!
Thanks for watching!

Great video! GREAT FINDS! Thank you for sharing Tom.

Glad to have found you again Tom!!! Not sure what happened but I hope it was amicable. Good luck branching out on your own.
Sounds like the wind is blowing above you....glad you are down in the pit.......maybe fire up that lamp burner you just dug up and keep you warm..........great job....thanks
I was supposed to go digging today for my buddy's birthday. Ended up losing the permission. I'm glad to watch this instead of no bottles today.
Love the little bottles 😊
I love the history of various types to be discovered in your videos. Thanks very much for making this available.
Awesome keep it up 👍
Pickle bottle great for flower vases
You should do a show, that explains, blob top , applied top ect. With examples. Very interesting, to see what you find!
I totally agree!
Thanks Tom! Incredible! ♥

You rule Tom!!!!
let's go let's go treasure and adventure ✌👵

probably those darn kids breaking all the windows LOL
Great digs guys!
The beautiful glass container with missing top my great grandmother had one. She called it a drizzler..like dizzling vingerate over a salad. Her set was cranberry bottom to the lightess pink.. beautiful..
Another awesome dig Tom, congrats on the new channel.

Great to see you Tom.
Interesting place and finds!
Good to see you again
Oh wow I just found you!! I searched because I was thinking I hadn’t seen a video in a while! I really enjoy what you do, the history… amazing! 😊
Is that rain I could hear in the background? Always enjoy watching you dig for the artifacts. Thanks again for a super show! Nice looking blue and white plates...ty for showing the cleaned up stuff...so cool.
It was a rainy day so we set up the canopy. The sound of rain is definitely relaxing!
I love this channel. Thank you ❤🇨🇦👍
Excellent
Good stuff as usual. 😎🍺☮️
Always appreciate the added advertisements that you put on the screen. Your enthusiasm makes this show!
Your videos are better now than ever!!! Thank you!!
Thanks for watching!
Tom, I think you found ol' Ranger's last set of shoes...
I miss the old music intro, too. Any type of new music intro would be great! Glad you have a new channel. You’re the only one I watch.
Happy to have found your new site. I enjoy your enthusiasm.
Thanks for watching!
Great output Tom, another awesome hoard! Awaiting the pickle bottle house, much respect from the UK
Divers to the Titanic never had more fun than you digging for bottles. Thanks for sharing.
Mrs Stewart's Bluing is still made to this day. I use it in my white laundry and it works great. Thanks Tom
Always happy to see you in Omemee. Hi Sam!
I did wonder if Sam knew Tom was coming, and go out to say Hello!
Go Tom! You are the man!
The china was lovely ❤
In many movies we see households and dinner tables and the most common dinner ware seems to have been the Blue Willow pattern, I guess that was Hollywood. You have dispelled a notion I have had for over 50 years 😮. Thank you for setting the record straight.
You found some interesting things ..I like the insulator, I collect those too. Great job Tom👍

Another fun one. Damn kids anyways. Looks like you might be in that area for a while. Hope you find more. We will be here to watch. Hope you're doing well. Take care. 😊
I usually end up craving pickles with all those pickle jars you find! Great Video as usual Tom!
Much love from South Dakota!!
I really enjoy watching your channel, im impressed and applaud you for your honesty in dating your finds. Please keep digging because i do not subscribe to other bottle digging channels because its pretty obvious they haven't done their homework.
Working in the rain i guess thats what i hear, bless you Tom, keep up the great videos
Hey I found you...again. You sure do find some unique shaped jars. I really like them.
Every table had a vinegar and an oil cruet on it, the go to salad dressing.
Yeah. Pretty sure the thing that he thought was a pitcher was something to do with oil and/or vinegar.
You find some really cool stuff. What I'd like to know is, do you save this stuff you find and add it to your collection if you have one. Or re bury afterwards?. Thanks for sharing with us. Enjoyed it very much.
Some pieces are kept, sold, given to the property owner and donated to museums. If no one is interested we rebury them
I enjoy your video
How do you figure out where to get permission to dig in an abandoned town? From the County or?
Good dig. I enjoyed. Rk.
Tom, I know you already have plenty to do, but I wonder if with a little research if you could find the answer to if there had been a big storm at one time that broke a bunch of windows. Hail? Wind?....BTW great video! I really like you showing the shots of what the area looks like where you are digging, where buildings were and history about the town/site.
There was a big storm there in July 1909 but that seems a bit late for the era I was digging in. I haven’t been able to find any more information.
I fell asleep watching you dig. I woke up a few minutes later and I thought OMG who is eating so loud!! Lol
I was wondering what happened to you, no post on your old channel in 2 months. Cool I found your new one! Fun channel and informational!
Freakin kids. When I return to my spot maybe tomorrow, that’s what I’m gonna be thinking with every broken bottle.lol
Way to sniff them out Tom!! Outstanding!!
Was wondering where you went brother!! Great to see you have your own channel.
Welcome back! Please subscribe!

Those pickle preserve jars I would love to fill one of those with vintage marbles
Tom the small perfume is called a Card perfume!🤔😏
I appreciate the info!
question for you when you think a pit is done do you ever take a small 2 to 3 foot rod and prob the sides just to make sure especially in a very old pit ? Also nice video
Every time!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It happens with buried and UV exposed glass, like the power insulators.
I've seen 'clear' bottles with purple hue too.
Every once in a while but it’s rare with what I do being most of these bottles weren’t exposed to sunlight for long before getting buried
I always wonder if an excess amount of glass could mean there was a tornado or derecho. Would be curious if other digs in the area from the same time also have a lot of glass.
Tenacious D.... kickapoo lol love your videos man but that one got me XD
The broken glass and dishes always makes me want to make Mobil’s or wind chimes!
Tom, love that location, they has to be more there. Nice soil to dig in, are you there alone doing the camera as well? Very happy for you with your new direction. When is your book going to be available? Take care.👍👏😀
