      Tom seems much happier with his new channel. He smiles more, is more interactive and informative, which is something we love❣️ He seems like a really great guy and my dog likes him too😂. When she hears him, she gets comfortable and watches him dig. I think she's jealous ( part terrier)😂😂.

    You have one of the most interesting "dig" channels I have found. I love the inclusion of the ad information describing most finds, as well as the fact that you leave the information texts up long enough for us old guys to read it thoroughly.

    I'm getting addicted to watching you dig in these holes Tom. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. I have requests for hearing and watching more about your area research- like filming the finding and looking up the 140 year old map... what it smells like down there... and here's a big one- why don't you think you find more lost coins and valuables?
    I'm adding in a request to hear about what you eventually do with all these bottles and even what the eventual Values you find, how much they're worth. I saw you dig up a red ceramic jug I'd love to hear about the value of that, etc.

    I think what happens is that even after statehood the local pharmacy still had an inventory of Territorial embossed bottles that they had to get rid of so I think that may be the reason that you find them even up higher than the Statehood bottles. Great stuff that you guys dug!
