Haha just realized I missed putting the clip of me finding the Try-me into the video!! I’ll put it in next weeks video! Sorry for not having a video last week! My day job is kicking my butt and my time has been very limited hence the rush edit on todays video……. Thanks as always for supporting the channel!
I noticed that as soon as you showed it. I was like wait a minute
I have a couple try-me bottles from B’ham and some pieces. I also have one similar shaped that is embossed with circus animals and says Surprise. Ever see one of those ?
its all good

I was talking the other day to some one that said they had a bunch of old coke bottles. I was telling them how to look for the dates and that the rarer bottles will have smaller city names on the bottom. They asked me how I knew so much about old bottles. I said well there’s this guy I watch on RUclips…you teach us so much about old bottles and I thank you.
The spiral bottle looks very much like a 1958 swirl Pepsi and the round APL looks the right shape for pepst as well. 🤔
The tash is cool, very Tom Selleck as Magnum 😉
That is a modern marker light off a gas trailer, it's sealed so its explosion proof.
Ohhhh that makes sense!
Sweet finds. . Keeping it real.. Real life is always first before fun.... although fun is definitely better
I agree with your wife, that mustache looks good on you. Better luck on your next adventure!
Your wife’s walking ahead hiding all the hutches so you keep the mo Brandon 😝🍻
😂😂😂😂😂
Cyd in MD. I just discovered you today and I enjoyed your video. I watch a Londoner who goes mudlarking on the Thames. It's fun to watch. Thank you for the video.
Welcome to the channel!
I like the new look with the mustache. Thanks for taking us along. ……
SB&GCo - Streator Bottle & Glass Co., Streator, Illinois (1881-1905)
The Streator Bottle & Glass Co. had a very straight forward history from its opening in 1881 to its merger with other glass houses to form the American Glass Co. in 1905. The business was successful from the beginning, specializing in beer bottles but making a variety of other containers. Although the plant only used a single logo to mark its products, those appear in several variations.
The Kerr Economy and Kerr Self Sealing jars were developed in 1903 by Alexander H. Kerr of San Francisco, who founded the Hermetic Fruit Jar Company that year. The Kerr Glass Manufacturing Company survived the April 1906 San Francisco earthquake (and fires) due to all its sand around the plant. Embossed Economys and Self Sealings were produced in the 1903-1930 period.
Interesting 🤔
@@patriceschweitzer8326 Kerr (low priced) Economys were the competitive clones to the Ball (low priced Drey jars with the tin lid. Still believe that on West Coast digs you can find (somehow) former ghosted Drey embossed jar molds that were then embossed with Economys (making misleading statement that Kerrs made Dreys - later buying out Drey and then making Economys).
That first piece of potter was a lamp. You can see those two holes are for the wiring. Of course I could be very wrong.
Very nice bottles 👍👏😎
Thanks for sharing another great adventure,
Nice to see there were still a few things there worth keeping.
Brandon you are a nice looking young man with or without the mustache and blessed with a beautiful wife and baby girl. Love the videos you share keep up the good work.
Fjb
Well done!
Some nice finds, Brandon, but looks like you have some tumbling to do! I love those old flasks.💖
That light is off of a tanker that holds flammable materials very modern
Enjoyed watching well done on the finds
It was nice to see a bottle from my area....Savannah.
I would just love to find even one bottle that is over 100 years old. I always enjoy watching you find your treasures.
haha yeah ! love the glasses, man ! ... now on with the show !!👍😂🍻
Make sure to change that blinker fluid.
That fluid was looking dirty I better get on it 😎
Too funny! 🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing awesome video 👍
Hi , stay safe !
Hey - nice and old Bottles - great Fish as well - You had a great Time walking the Creek - always sooo nice watching Your Videos - many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
Awesome finds, Brandon. It’s amazing those bottles can survive for 100+ years in a creek and still be intact. Sometime, show us a follow up video with the finds cleaned and tumbled so we can see the results of your efforts. 😎
Yeah, I’d like to see the clean & tumbled bottles too.
Loved the two flasks. Need them for my collection.
I live in Portsmouth UK, spent much time working on the mudflats for shellfish over those many years during my much younger days. I have a large collection of really old bottles, pipes, ink wells,old sailors shoe buckles. And much more. Just things I came across whilst working. I love anything with all that history. So yes, I appreciate all you are finding. 🤘👏👏👏
AWSOME finds man
Well done
CrouchOz
As always love to see what you get out of these adventures. Stay safe and have a great weekend.
Some nice bottles Brandon!! I love the little flasks. Happy hunting and be well
Well Brandon I like your mustache lol! Thanks for the creek adventure, keep up the great work out there bro 😎
Nice bottles Brandon! Keep it up Bro!
Good finds for sure, keep them coming
I know I get notifications on your Facebook page,but I have t seen any? I do get them here… lawd sorry I missed them.
I scanned your posts, comments, but did not see anyone comment on the "vase parts" you kept referring to early on in your video. My personal take is that it is two different lamp parts, the bottom, which had a hole in it for the electric cord, and the top piece you called a lid, that was the top where the socket would be mounted. Just my two cents worth Brandon. Keep on a hunting, and good Luck with finding the Hutch bottle!
Yes, I found your RUclips page
I kinda like your new Ron Burgandy look . Keep the stash , I grew mine my junior year of high school and still have it , that was 53 years ago . God bless you and yours .
The good thing about your work kicking your butt is that it makes the creek hunt that much more fun to go to! Hopefully when you quit your job to do this full time, it'll still be fun!
I sure hope that day comes!
Sweet finds👍🤓👍
I remember that bridge from the early days of this channel.Always cool to see another great video Brandon!!!
Hey, I don't know if you usually tumble all your finds, but I think it would be really cool to maybe include updates, or before/after of previous finds in the videos. Maybe at the end after you show all the day's finds.
I’d love to do this however it would take weeks before I could release a video with time it takes to clean. Sadly it’s just not doable with me working full time still.
@@adventurearchaeology I didn't mean bottles from recent finds, just bottles you happen to have cleaned recently. Maybe some weeks there won't any at all. Just love seeing the finds all cleaned up.
kool
Self-sealing was first used prior to 1910 but was patented mid 30s. You need a Red Book for canning jars.
Hey show your collection. I want to see it.
90% of the 1900 or before bridges are on county roads that now have fences across them and huge no trespassing signs. I actually never knew the county could close and sell roads and bridges
You did find some awesome looking things keep up the good work
you are close to my neighborhood now! I pass that bridge eveyday. good hunting!
Fantastic finds great creek walk love them ❤️
Found you on FB. But I enjoy you're content so I'm here ❤️
Welcome aboard!
The year for the Kerr jar is on the screw top.
Mudlarking is the British sophisticated term for playing in the mud walking ditches and creeks.
Great collection of bottle finds!
Hi Brandon Great finds today. We used to call a mustache like that a "porn star mustache".
Nice finds! I vote you keep the stache as well!
New sub ! Liked 😘😘👏👏
Our guy Brandon lookin like Tom Selleck 👨
🤷🤣
Have you ever come across the old polly's pop from Independence mo? The yellow one is the rarest I believe. They have a Parrott on the front
The real treasure is that mustache…you want me to come to Alabama and bring you a hutch so you can shave that thing? 😂 just kidding, another great video! I look forward to Friday so I can see what you have found!
New sub liked it!
This is fascinating!
SO DIRTY…THE Creek‼️
I respect you Brandon but I have to tell you, as soon as I saw your mustache...All I could think of was the movie SUPER TROOPER'S....😂😂😂
🥸🥸LOL
Love the mustache man
Duraglas - Owens-Illinois - introduced in 1940 bottle maker's marks.
I found one of those zinc mason jar lids yesterday
New sub ! Liked 🙏😘👏😀
Everyman with a stache knows women love mustache rides.
Bahaha
I never got the notice of this
Do you ever check inside the old tires?. or maybe lift them up to check under them.
Sure do!
You ever seen the Beastie Boys video Sabotage? The stash your sporting looks like MCA as Sir Stewart Wallace.
Always anxious to see what you find in your adventure in the creek. I think that’s pretty neat that that bridge is still standing being it’s from early 1900 hundred. I really like that one flask that looks like a coffin. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen one till now. I’m telling you look good in that mustache. Some wives don’t like them on their husbands. I’m kinda tickled that your wife likes it. It does look distinguish on you. ♥️😊👍👍
Nice hunt new subber!
Welcome aboard!!
The swirled bottle could have been a double cola bottle.
Tell your wife to grow her own mustache if she likes them so much.😂
Lol oh man we might stick together like Velcro when we kiss if she did that……
@@adventurearchaeology 😂😂😂😂
Thank you Brandon for sharing your video I always enjoy it have a wonderful weekend I like to Coke
Dayton OH here! Have to do some diggin and find out where the plant was!
Are stashes in down south? I spent time last week down in the hills of North Carolina and seen several guys with them. It was like the 80's all over again. Sadly the hairline these days, the old mullet is out of the question but I could still rock the Selleck mustache.
They seem to be coming back haha 😂
Well, Brandon, I really enjoyed this. I felt like I was there with you. This video took me back to my childhood when my family would go picnic by a creek. I felt as if I was back there. I have my own Channel now. I probably subscribed to your Channel on my brother, Brian's, Channel. I'm sure Robert (Wright) would want me to tell you "Hi!" for him.
You can tell how old the Kerr jar is by looking at the bottom and if it says Kerr mfg glass co on the bottom it means that it was produced from 1904 to 1920 anything that doesn’t say that is newer than 1920
Great info!
Hey Brandon love the video.i think you have a teens or twenties kerr Mason there. Nice heavy embossing and a thick bottom.nice jar
Love the tryme
Thanks John!
@@adventurearchaeology your welcome thank you for the videos and knowledge.
Hey Brandon, have you ever considered probing the creek for bottles? I’ve done this in muddier creeks and found 1923s, early 1900s beers, and plenty more. You should give it a try, also you probe into deeper pockets of water that are harder to see as well as using it for a depth gage. It also if in water you can’t see scares off animals and turtles that are in front of you when using it to see the water depth.
I have tried in the past however here in Bama we have a ton of small gravel and large rock in the creeks so it makes it difficult to probe a lot of times.
When y'all walk back up the creek and have a lot of bottles/bricks....Do y'all put them all in a backpack? If so, how do you keep the bottles from breaking?
The swirl pattern ACL could have been a Pepsi
I think that first one was a Double Cola
Kerr mason jar sew from 1904
Hi, do you know any good spots in and around the Crystal River, Florida area? Anything like bottles, rocks, fossils, relics?
I pulled a solid 6lb civil war cannonball ball out of a creek in pa today not sure how it got there I'm still shocked but I'm so happy I don't know what to think
Nice!!
Brandon, I've been watching your channel for quite awhile now and it doesn't seem as though you find many Dr Pepper bottles. Seems strange to me since they were the first. 🙍♀️
Have I just missed when you find them?
I find them every now and then. Most actual Dr.Pepper bottles weren’t introduced until the 1930s before that it was a different name. And where we hunt we’re usually searching 1880s-1920s stuff so we don’t run across them often.
That first whiskey flask found - if it is not covered in algae - looks like it was sanded like beach glass.
Creek blasted it good!
Come to Texas and you can WALK our dry creeks and rivers. You definitely won't have to worry about rain. What the wildfires didn't burn the heat is killing and may burn yet. Welcome to Texas weather
At 2:31, the pottery had a small hole near base. Maybe a lamp instead?
That’s possible!
that kerr was probably the same dump as the coke, it seems to be a 1915
Speaking about the mustache…🤔 does the wife want you to sing “Bohemian Rhapsody” and wear a white tank top??
Beard with mustache is a good look bro.😎
Bahahaha I’ll have to try that for her!
When are you planning to buy the leisure suit, man?
what was that last bottle you held up, the interesting one?
Small variant of the Birmingham Try-Me.
Most Coke bottles (although not all) bear a glass manufacturer’s mark (logo, emblem, trademark, or initials) somewhere on the bottle, that may help to identify what glass company made it. In general, glass manufacturers’ marks are usually seen on the base, but sometimes appear on the side or lower heel of the bottle. In many instances (especially in the case of Owens-Illinois Glass Company bottles), the glass manufacturers’ logo is in combination with a year date code and mold number.
There is a common misconception that the city name marked on the bottom indicates where the bottle was actually made. In general, the city or town name, in most cases, has nothing to do with the location where the bottle itself was manufactured. The city name usually indicates the location where a local soda bottling concern or distribution center was situated, and where the bottles were supposed to be originally circulated.
Some of the larger glass manufacturing companies, such as Owens-Illinois Glass Company and Chattanooga Glass Company, made Coca-Cola bottles (and other soda bottles) for HUNDREDS of different cities around the United States.
State of Ohio registration listing (unknown publication date)
Legal entity THE DAYTON COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY is a business company registered in the Register of State Ohio with the Entity Number 43232 under the legal form of CORPORATION FOR PROFIT. The company was written into the database at 15th January 1917 and its current status is Dead.
The recent company reincarnation is the Dayton Coca Cola Bottling Company (and Distribution Warehouse) founded in 2010 by state records.
So this hobble skirt patented in 1915 could be as early as 1917-late 1920s.
Keep the mustache it’s easier than a gym membership
