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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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..
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.
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.
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.
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❤😊
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.
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.
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 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.
Yes please or a tour of your collection please!! Come dig with me in Pennsylvania, Titusville that is. Pit hole city! We have so much history and I know some ppl who will definitely allow us to dig there’s history here also.
I have less than 20 bottles in my personal collection. I’ve posted pictures of them on Facebook. If you go to my page (Tom Askjem) and search “apothecary phial” and “Comstock” you’ll see what I’ve posted about them. It’s quality not quantity for sure
@@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...
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.👍👏😀
@@TomAskjem. Oh wow ! That's a bunch for sure. Your reply and answer is most appreciated Tom. I know you are very busy and have a large following for your channel. Much continued success with your endeavors and best regards !
You should pin a comment about your other channel, because i only figured it out in the comments. I only use this social media, and other older people like me may be unaware. G-d bless.
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
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.
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.
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’m so glad you have your own channel now! Your natural spirit is so much fun to watch! Your enthusiasm is addicting!!!
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!
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.

A lot of people ask for this but he generally doesn’t do that.
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’m glad that the awning kept you dry, it’s fun listening to rain while you’re digging 😊
Oh! Is that what that was!
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
You should do a show, that explains, blob top , applied top ect. With examples. Very interesting, to see what you find!
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.
Brilliant as ever Tom, thank you.
Awesome video. Made my day. Always looking forward to your videos. So many beautiful bottles. Just love those pickle bottles. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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!
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.
Keep digging Tom ..👍 📷 💂 👀 UK 👍
Great video! GREAT FINDS! Thank you for sharing Tom.
Another great dig Tom. I look forward to your videos every Saturday.
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.
Thanks!
Some really interesting new pieces this time! I'm glad you're back to digging and posting videos regularly again 😊
Glad to have found you again Tom!!! Not sure what happened but I hope it was amicable. Good luck branching out on your own.

No better way to drink a cup of coffee and watch you thanks again

probably those darn kids breaking all the windows LOL
Hey Tom, love your digging up old relics. You have a great personality ❤
Thanks!
Really exciting finds! Im loving it that you are much more free to talk to us.
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!
Divers to the Titanic never had more fun than you digging for bottles. Thanks for sharing.
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.
Good job Tom, thanks.😊 UK
Just stopping by to leave a thumbs 👍😎.
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 love the history of various types to be discovered in your videos. Thanks very much for making this available.
Pickle bottle great for flower vases
good stuff, thanks for sharing
Some nice bottles & unique finds!
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! 😊
I love this channel. Thank you ❤🇨🇦👍
Freakin kids. When I return to my spot maybe tomorrow, that’s what I’m gonna be thinking with every broken bottle.lol
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.
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.
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
Always appreciate the added advertisements that you put on the screen. Your enthusiasm makes this show!
Thanks Tom! Incredible! ♥
Mrs Stewart's Bluing is still made to this day. I use it in my white laundry and it works great. Thanks Tom
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❤😊
Another awesome dig Tom, congrats on the new channel.
Thanks for another great video!!
Your videos are better now than ever!!! Thank you!!
Thanks for watching!
I usually end up craving pickles with all those pickle jars you find! Great Video as usual Tom!
Much love from South Dakota!!
Thank you for sharing
Tom, I think you found ol' Ranger's last set of shoes...
Thumbs up 👍
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.
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
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.
Great output Tom, another awesome hoard! Awaiting the pickle bottle house, much respect from the UK
Great to see you Tom.
Interesting place and finds!
Happy to have found your new site. I enjoy your enthusiasm.
Thanks for watching!

Good to see you again
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!
I get excited now!!! Love digging in the pits without getting dirty,it's so much fun to see what you pull out next. 😁
Go Tom! You are the man!
You rule Tom!!!!
Love the little bottles 😊
I fell asleep watching you dig. I woke up a few minutes later and I thought OMG who is eating so loud!! Lol
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.
Working in the rain i guess thats what i hear, bless you Tom, keep up the great videos
Tom the small perfume is called a Card perfume!🤔😏
I appreciate the info!
Hey I found you...again. You sure do find some unique shaped jars. I really like them.
Always happy to see you in Omemee. Hi Sam!
I did wonder if Sam knew Tom was coming, and go out to say Hello!
You found some interesting things ..I like the insulator, I collect those too. Great job Tom👍
Another great video love to watch your channel 😊
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. 😊
Yr knowledge is exceptional Tom !! 👏 Awesome finds ! 👏 🤘🤘
Another awesome video
Great digs guys!
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.
let's go let's go treasure and adventure ✌👵
Way to sniff them out Tom!! Outstanding!!
Tenacious D.... kickapoo lol love your videos man but that one got me XD
Yes please or a tour of your collection please!! Come dig with me in Pennsylvania, Titusville that is. Pit hole city! We have so much history and I know some ppl who will definitely allow us to dig there’s history here also.

Was wondering where you went brother!! Great to see you have your own channel.
Welcome back! Please subscribe!

Excellent
Good stuff as usual. 😎🍺☮️
The china was lovely ❤
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.👍👏😀
Awesome dig and amazing finds Tom ! I'm curious if you find numerous pits at these old town sites ? Best wishes and regards always !
Well, in this video he found 3....
I’ve dug roughly 20 pits at Omemee
@@TomAskjem. Oh wow ! That's a bunch for sure. Your reply and answer is most appreciated Tom. I know you are very busy and have a large following for your channel. Much continued success with your endeavors and best regards !
You should pin a comment about your other channel, because i only figured it out in the comments. I only use this social media, and other older people like me may be unaware. G-d bless.
I really enjoy hanging out with you.. you're great..your knowledge is mind blowing..what do you do with all this stuff
Thanks for watching !
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!

Naughty kids, throwing stones!!
You should build a house out of bottles. Sweet irony!
I also liked that witty quip!
Probably answered this a lot but what do you do with everything you find.??
Some is kept, sold, given to the property owner and donated to museums.
Good dig. I enjoyed. Rk.
