Such an early pit that just kept on giving, something tells me this property will be getting a revisit soon, great dig, especially love the longer episodes, all the way from the UK
Soon as I see Tom as done another vid I have to make sure I can watch with no one interrupting me so here I go. Time to see (with my cuppa next to me) what Tom will dig up today. Love this channel so informative. A big hello from UK. I just can't get enough of this channel ❤
thx tom. very much appreciating the extended 'cleaned-up' version of finds at the end! its really cool to see the grungy fresh stuff and then the pristine-ish cleaner pieces. keep diggin!
Cool! Your very first find, very much does look like a uranium glass marble. When you held it up to the UV rays of the sun, it did indeed looked glowy! My very most favorite, type of glass! Got bunches & bunches of it.
Hell of a pit Tom!! Congrats on all the goodies and another super vid!!!! Someday you will have to do a vid on your collection as we all would love to see it!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I stumbled across a short video of Tom calmly, humbly showing some guy his mint collection of rare carriages & other cool ish in his pole barn from a few years ago. Shoot, I think he deserves his own episode of MTV Cribs lol
Another fantastic finds in a pit! Maybe someone in the household was ill with all various pharmaceutical bottles found. The rare Mason jar was a find too. Looking forward to the next educational video! Nice job! Tom!
Love the look of the house,love stained glass!! Always curious what you'll find. The little child's tea sets are cute to see. I used to play with doll dishes myself,wish I had them now. That spittoon was unusual. I hope you fare well in the winter weather this year. Take good care and Merry Christmas to all!! 😁🙏🎀🎄
What an amazing dig you had there - such history of how the nation was thriving in the 1880s. Absolutely incredible what we can learn from this. Thanks Tom x
These are the best digs!!! I've been so busy for the past few months and haven't had a chance to dig but you've been keeping it alive for me. Thank you very much for taking the time to make these videos and I want to thank your camera person for doing such a great job. You guys are the best. I hope yall have a merry Christmas!!!
Hi Tom 👋 👋 👋 always amazed how you find these bottles 🍼 the house is also amazing 👏 and the bottles are a good age 😀 👌 Andrew south wales uk 👌 👍 😊 👏 🇬🇧
Thank you for giving us a long video! I miss the days when you did the uncut ones and they were over an hour, long a few years ago on your other channel!!!😊😊😊😊 Thank you!🎉🎉
Great looking color and embossed finds Tom. Some really great display pieces. Another great dig and enjoyable video to watch. Don't ask me why watching a guy dig up old outhouse pits is so peaceful and enjoyable; I'm still trying to figure it out myself. I've actually thought about this for a long time. I even started digging up what I thought was an old outhouse pit in the mountains of Colorado, near a coke kiln camp for the Midland railroads. It's tough work. I'm surprised you don't find a lot of old coins down there; I always figured there would be. You know... pants down, pockets open, coin goes in... who's going after it? Thanks for the great videos Tom.
Another fantastic vid!!! I love the house you are digging at ! It’s a lot of work getting permission to dig, and you always do!! Beautiful bottles on this dig. Thanks for taking us on the dig with you!
Tom, I’m a crocheter and I’m thinking that long skinny bone thing you found could be a very early crochet hook. Couldn’t tell if it had a hooked top end or maybe tip broken off. Anyway I hope you saved it and it could be one of the earliest crochet hooks dug up.
I'm krochet, too. Looked like a broken ivory or bone very fine thread crochet hook. Many of the antique ivory or bone ones have that little extra decorative "fenial" thing on the non-hook end.
@@cferguson3368The " finial" on the end of the hook did look a bit ornate didn't it. I am a crocheter as well. It looked like a crochet hook for fine thread/yarn or could be a small hook for tatting and lace work. 😊
Tom,first dig that brought you into the night. How deep was the hole? So many awesome finds and bottles that were new to you. Great dig, great soil and as always great back story on everything you find. Such hard work and so appreciated with your dedication to find history.👏👏👍😀
Now that was an amazing dig with a truly spectacular cache of goods to find. I knew right away with the finding of the marble that great bottles were in store. Great to see so that you got to keep a fair amount of them this time around with the cleaned up gallery. I would see if you can find an expert pottery maker to make you a side to the spittoon so that it is at least complete or fill in the side with a molded black plastic. I'm surprised that, with seriously deep digs like this one, you don't have a bucket on a rope that you put items in and have whoever is up top gently lift them out and lower the bucket back down after being emptied. BTW, who does you camerawork? With the exception of minor focusing issues, they always do an excellent job.
What fun! Thank you for bothering to take us with you. Love all the history given on the shops and drugstores. I do have one question…How deep were you when you hit bottom?
You should write a.book about your finds with photos .I'm from Wisconsin and I used to go through the old dumps and dig up old garbage piles in the Woods on the weekends we would find old license plates bottles all kind of neat stuff. Scrap metal.Now I live in Nevada. Everything is to far to go to here and I'm not as young as I was .But I like watching others look for stuff. Good luck and God Bless .Glad to see your doing something constructive instead of destructive. I hope you get more subscribers take care.
I’ve authored two book already (sold out). I nearly have a 300 page coffee table style book complete on my excavations at Fort Pembina. Hoping to have it in print this January.
Tom, one of those bottles you found was mine, I accidentally dropped it when I was traveling through the Dakotas back in 1880. May I have it back please?
I wonder about the drama when something precious like a handpainted lamp shade was broken and had to be thrown down the outhouse hole. Sad for them; exciting for diggers & those of us watching!
All the factory marks for the ironstone ware and porcelain are so familiar to me they are all pottery works that are just a couple of miles from my home in staffordshire small world ain't it
Another memorable dig Tom. Always surprised how few soda bottles seem to come from this age of pit you dig. Is it because they were returned for a deposit?
Howdy from Canada Tom. Do you ever wonder how many bottles aren't known and forgotten until you find them? This is the most interesting part of what you do, for myself, anyway.

Hello I love your work
thx tom. very much appreciating the extended 'cleaned-up' version of finds at the end! its really cool to see the grungy fresh stuff and then the pristine-ish cleaner pieces. keep diggin!
Beautiful house. They were smart to build the house of brick as so many Dakota territory towns were devastated by prairie fires.
The builders were well to do. The well to do loved to show their wealth. The brick house all decked out was a public way to show their private wealth.
@@oleradiodudea.m.4735or, perhaps, their main objective was being prepared in case of prairie fires.
I'll never know. Neither will you.
If u look at the huge fires in EVERY city they somehow got the brick and stone buildings to “burn” down as well. Early d.e.w.?
What a haul Tom, that was a lot of work but totally worth it, here’s to the next one.🍾🎄
Thank you for showing all the bottles cleaned up! Your videos are well done and I've learned a lot about identifying bottles.
Thank you for showing more of the cleaned up and close up finds at the end!
Cool! Your very first find, very much does look like a uranium glass marble. When you held it up to the UV rays of the sun, it did indeed looked glowy! My very most favorite, type of glass! Got bunches & bunches of it.

No ads!! I love it!! Love your videos ❤
Tom another treasure trove. A1 buddy!
You enthusiasm is so infectious!!! Is the iridescence caused by time in the soil or is it original? Love every minute. Thanks, Tom.
Another great day because Tom put out another great video!!!🤩

Amazing finds...awesome...thank you for all your hard work to bring the history back...🥰🥰
The variety of bottles is great
Such an amazing variety on this dig. I knew it was good when I caught myself leaning in closer to my monitor to get a better look!🙂
Nice one Tom - and dry too!
Awesome finds!
Thanks tom
It's great to see those really old bottles (150-160 yr old). The more rudimentary the better I like them. Good character. Dig on Tom.
Too Cool.. Thank You..
That was a deep hole for sure. Practically needed a ladder to get out, lol.
Great video. You put so much work into your videos Tom. Even giving us a history of the companies? We really do appreciate what you do. 👍🇬🇧
23:33 It’s the end of a crochet hook. I have 15-20 bone crochet hooks. A fun thing to collect.
Thanks!
Really cool early pit, Tom. Great finds. Stay safe 👍
that was a great OLD Haul ‼️ Everything from the 1880's 💜💜💜‼️
Another fantastic vid!!! I love the house you are digging at ! It’s a lot of work getting permission to dig, and you always do!! Beautiful bottles on this dig. Thanks for taking us on the dig with you!
Great dig, Tom! I have a few bone crochet hooks that look very similar to that item that you found.

We really enjoy watching you and seeing all your finds. What do you do with all of them?
Some are kept, sold, give to the property owner and donated to museums.
WOW what a great variety of bottles,this was such a fantastic video Tom you deserve a👍🏻!
Wow Great Videos as usual. Thank you Tom❤
Tom!!! Thank you again for all this that you do! Nk
Sweet digs!!! Hope you get better soon bro!
Great haul! I enjoy your digs, thanks also for history lessons.

Omg spoiling us with another video..What cool house. Merry Christmas to you and yours
Absolutely love your videos. ❤
Thanks Tom, great as always!
Love your videos. Hi from Georgia !’
What fun! Thank you for bothering to take us with you. Love all the history given on the shops and drugstores.
I do have one question…How deep were you when you hit bottom?
I’d love to be able to participate in a dig. Very cool. My hometown.
What a fantastic dig Tom thanks so much ...
Best vids ever
Thanks

sooooo packed in there😮
Found the subscribe option, and subscribed!!!!
Thank you!
Pretty sure the marble is Uranium Glass the way the light hits it it glows without the black light
View number 20 or so. Learned a lot about a lot of things watching one of your great permissions. Love this video.
Very nice finds Tom! I hope you have videos stored, winter is upon us! Brrrr. ND is well into winter now.
good Morning Tom, Can the old broken windows be repurposed, ie melted again, reusing historic glass? Love your channel! From Darwin Australia NT
the photos are great !
I wonder about the drama when something precious like a handpainted lamp shade was broken and had to be thrown down the outhouse hole. Sad for them; exciting for diggers & those of us watching!
I think about that all the time. Thanks for watching!
