    Dude! It is so refreshing to find someone here who actually KNOWS what he's talking about! Just came across you & thought, interesting, INDEED! I watch those guys bumble thru old houses & they know so VERY little about what the find, Architecture, furnishings, Art, etc. Good for you to BE enlightened while enlightening us! Can only image what you've found, will follow you for sure! 👍

    Tom, ask your cameramen to try & get us a closer look at the designs. I would have liked to see the flowers on that porcelain chocolate pot, or whatever it was.---30:26 Check out the 'face' on the right side of the wall of the pit! It's only half the face, but imagination lends to either human, or lion!---What became of that Wapheton bottle?---That's a new pronunciation for sputum! Should be "spew'-tum"!---I enjoyed the museum tour in Red Wing at the end of my Mississippi cruise last year.---I loved the capture of the fella who stopped to ask if you'd "found any gold yet?"!

    • @TomAskjem.LostHorizons

    Hey man this week was kinda crazy! So a few months ago I was digging and I found a thing I didn't know what is was at first it had cursive on it. Months go by and this week I decided to look up Civil War Relics. Turns out this week I found out where I was digging was a Civil War Campsite that was there. The thing I found was a Civil War ID Badge I cleaned up a little more and found out it also had the engraving of lady liberty! if you ever get the chance look up the story called Grove Lake MN the Lost Regiment. They must have came through to camp not far where I live. Any way huge fan as always. Much respect for You and the Camera Man. Preserve the History that matters most in our lives.

    Tom, absolutely awesome dig. I thought you pulled more bottles out than your wrap up. That first pit was loaded. Glad you found bottles you had not seen before and the rare embossed bottle. The green brass things were odd, loved the crocks that you saved. Such a nice dig compared to the last muddy one. That home was just gorgous and filled with history under the earth they never knew existed. You are truly amazing to watch.👏👍👍😀

    Just found your channel! My mom lived in a Victorian home in Alabama. Sure sure if this is actually true, but she said everyone had burn pits back then (no garbage pickup haha) and would throw their trash in the pit. She found hers in the back yard and started digging it like an archaeological site lol! She found lots of cool things that had been thrown out. I live in a home over a 100 years old in Florida and we added onto it and while digging up the back yard found lots of old prescription bottles and dairy bottles, too! Love using them to put flowers in!!

      Some of the prescription bottles could have contained cannabis. Some of the patent medicines did as well. Piso’s Cure and Hamlin’s Wizard Oil were couple I can think of off the top of my head.
