I would be interested in seeing how you clean your finds
From what I gather, they want your donations and not your questions.
A little soap and uncooked rice for the inside,
@@demsakawalkinglatetermabor7ion they answer questions all the time without donating. I’ve gotten a response most times I have left a message.
@@demsakawalkinglatetermabor7ionSometimes they do not have time to answer questions,by the time they clean up the pit, load up get home they are exhausted, then the hours spent editing, Please be respectful and try not to let it bother you that they did not get to your question.
@@sheilacoulton775 I was referencing multiple videos, not a single one, so I know what you wrote was made up as an answer.
Its great to see Jake on screen again! Hes kinda like your own Silent Bob. lol
Imagine some 19th century guy sitting in that old outhouse doing his business and wondering if he was taking a dump on a 21st century guys idea of a gold mine.
💩🚽
It would be great for you to give a tutorial on bottle nomenclature, and age identification when winter returns.
Love your videos!
Nice. I always wish you showed more clean at the end
Tom and Jake those were incredible digs. I could not believe how far down you were on the first dig. I am not only amazed at how you find these privies, but your stamina. Excellent video.👏👍😀
Like watching the job progress…..finds keep getting better !
As an Auctioneer we see a lot of Indian Tree dinner services, most which were made in Stoke On Trent England.Greetings from the UK!
I'm so impressed by how hard you work in these digs! Such energy!
No kidding! It’s hard to throw a full shovel of dirt up over your head in a tiny space.
I was amazed that you pulled a big rock out from underneath the octagonal bottle, and the bottle was still in tact!!!
It’s crazy how much actually survives so deep under so many pounds of dirt! This field seems to have been plowed and worked with heavy equipment! A miracle anything survives all things considered!
Whoa guys...this was amazing...I really like the little ones with horses...makes it easy to identify that it is for horses...love the turquoise,multi-sided bottle...keep on digging...love it...🥰🥰
Nice to see Jake in there digging. That was a ridiculously deep pit! Thanks for another great video guys.
Wow - that Field Produced - wow - from 1880-1940's - Great Haul and some Rare Bottles - You had a Great Time - hard work digging all those Pit - but it was worth it ! Great Video and many Cheers from Australia !!!!
I grew up with a out house. I could walk you right to where it was. I’m sure after 60 years it’s gone.
So many wonderful finds. I really enjoy your videos. Although sometimes I worry that the walls will cave in on you. Stay safe and God Bless
The fact these bottles survived 150 plus years is amazing. The fact all this stuff was available in the Dakota Territories in the 1850s is astounding. You could see this type thing being available in the east back then but this was the frontier back then. Wages were hard to come by back then so they weren't thought to be spent on stuff like hair tonic and perfume and plates. Just think about the logistics to get that stuff out there. Most of that stuff had to be freighted out there in wagons.
@Big John - Glass is very durable, as is pottery.
It surprises me how well intact most of the bottles are. Especially after being brought out in wagons and thrown in a pit after use. You'd think breakage upon impact. Very well made
My father passed away and I found his bottle collection. The safe Kidney Cure brown bottle still has the label on it. The most interesting one is a clear long neck bottle that has a design with script words "Virginia Dare" made in Norfolk, Virginia. There is a large amount, but this one seems out of the ordinary.
Virginia Dare was the first child born to a Brit in the British New World, Virginia that is.
Haircut looks good! 😃
Would love to see some of the landowners reactions! Also, where do all the items you find go? I want some!
They sell it all that's how they finance the digs . The bottle s go for fifth to 650 each . Some are thousands.
They offer them to the homeowner first.
I would love some of the fragments for tile mosaics. Such fun pieces!
@@emilyolsen3916 I was thinking the same thing. Waste not want not. I started a collection of broken Vaseline glass that I've collected in finds and from people. I think it would make a great mosaic.
I've offered to buy duplicates of the bottles they have found & I'd pay for shipping also! Never got a reply! No longer interested! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
That lamp base was a great find. They didn't usually survive
Triple hunt fun for us all and it's so good seeing the main man Jake showing us he does exist and looks mighty fine deep in a dark hole, with a shovel, got to love the fine and a multitude of time periods, Ya team. Hope you two had as much fun as I did especially when you came up with that Indian Tree dinner ware, I have a service for 12 in the same pattern, I've look for many years to add to my collection but have only found 3 peices and here you dig one up. Again to you Jake my boy it was a pleasure seeing the other half, I do enjoy watching your participation because I know Tom appreciate you and together you two put out wonderful videos. Now Tom I don't think that 12ft hole was as safe as it should of been. Well that's enough of me can't wait for the next video, lots of love to you both. Afriend.
Love being right there as you uncover treasures but still stay clean and safe! Thanks for these videos.❤❤️❤️
Alway's liked finding those rumsfords
yeah its always a sign of a good aged pit! and yeah. just about the most orate bottle out there. i usually hang onto those when i find them because they are just so pretty. thanks for watching
WOW ! That was a deep one.
So many of the bottles in todays video got busted up, and its a shame! I know your tired...Thanks for the video!
Great finds. Stay safe. See ya next time.
Boy what a deep pit. Lots of really cool stuff you found. And some really nice bottles. Love your videos Tom
That Humphreys bottle at 36:48 is amazing in its clarity. You can easily see your fingers through it. Superb find.
Oh how each dig is an adventure to remember, and your making video history that can be looked back on, Thumbs up, thanks for bringing us along
What do you do with the broken plates, cups, etc.? I know a jewelry maker who uses broken pieces of old dishes to make earrings and pendants with. Shares the beauty of the old days with folks from these days.
I broke a tine off my four-tined garden fork while fighting with a very deep and stubborn root mass. I now call him Tom 😂
Another amazing dig! Thanks
Here we go! This guy will find anything so long as it is buried! UK
Just as well it ain't a cemetery.
Hello Tom and the gang. 👋👋👋
Hello Darlene!!! thanks for watching and leaving us a comment
It would be nice to see how you clean things up
Fun stuff. Didn't want it to end.
So interesting. How in this big field, can you find where their outhouse or trash pit is??? Would love to see some pieces cleaned up. And what do you do with it all??
Loved this one! Crazy how deep you had to go.
There were reasons to use chemicals (chemical bottles) at the house over the years which included when the home had infestations, bugs and parasites. Doctors would prescribe various remedies including mercury mixes to use everywhere. Another reason for those bottles could have been due to epidemics: red measles, diphtheria, yellow fever, malaria and so on.
At 38:40 That large aqua coloured bottle is very beautiful.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Enjoy all your videos.
Watching you go down that long drop was like watching a video game character. Awesome.
hahaha yeah... it was really fun, not gonna lie,. i love how the video turned out, but we got a way better camera now, but its big and bulky, so we cant do cool shots like that anymore!!! im thinking of buying a better small one, for reasons like this!
Definitely adds to the drama. @@BelowthePlains
This is my fav video…has a great variety of age in there. And I recognize some of the things you find. Thanks for teaching us on the Midwest stuff.
Nice to see someone else dig in the dirt... That way you can see what comes out & tell use all about the item & get more time to look at the item... Nice job guys...🤩
I was wondering how they look cleaned and stored also:)
I love the old jugs. They are really cool even with the handles broke off.
I remember that bottle you dug up
BACK HOME WE STILL HAD THE BOTTLES ON THEIR SHELVES LAYING ON THEIR BACK
great age on that first pit! really fun to watch this one. the deep ones are always the most interesting
One has to wonder what other treasures lie underground awaiting discovery....
Some great, well, many great items!!!😁😁😁 Thank you!!!😊😊😊❤
you guys are hard core......
YAY a haircut!!! You finally sold some bottles hahahaha
Those rumsfords are one of the coolest bottles out there. not super rare, but still very beautiful
Splendid finds. Really love that odd shaped bottle and the blue dinnerware.
Classic
Until next video. ❤ your videos.
St Pete Florida sending thanks for the adventure 🎉....
So fascinating! I love that you give the history of your finds!
As a nurse, I've handled lots of icky stuff, but that wad of lime creeped me out!---Tom, I love the haircut!---Jake, greet your fans!
Comes with the territory! Surprising they don't wear protective face masks.
Great video You make me tired working as hard as you do Really nice finds . Thanks for y 🗝️♥️🇺🇸👍❤️♥️
With some of your damaged tops on bottles (especially blue colored ones) you could get a bottle cutter and use them for antique glasses!
You need to find where they through their trash like a dump! I’m new to channel and boy never thought you have to dig that deep! Amazes me
Wow, absolutely brilliant dig !
Yes, have a cleaning session and discussion of the co's that operated in the Dakota's; very interesting how you know all of the names for the shapes and uses and kinds. Please have an informative session on the history of Dakota in bottles and accessories.
Great video! Really enjoyed this!
I put these videos on and it chills me right out.
LOVE these Video's Tom!! GOOD LUCK in your Future Diggings also!
Awesome video
Need a glass come back in the US ,
As always amazing video. And I love your new haircut😊
That waz cool!
well thanks! glad you liked it
lets get digging thanks for video
haha thanks for watching!
My new favorite channel. Its actually quite relaxing to watch your videos. I'd love to see some digs from the Fargo-Moorhead area if you ever get a chance
Great dig, never thought I would be watching someone dig up outhouses and see what people threw away back then. I am not afraid of dumpster diving myself but never thought about the outhouses being their trash cans either. Happy digging and have a great day
You're wild man , what do you do with all your finds ?
Amazing
Doggone, you guys work like crazy, I Admire that Immensely!!!
If I took a shot every time you said "this has great age" I'd be on my way to the ER lol
wow, that was a deep one! you guys gotta be careful when you get down that low! still, what a cool dig. looks like it would have been fun to climb down there, the way you guys had that set up
Awesome video and set up brother
Always your channel is very interesting, thank you for sharing.
This dig was archeological.
# 8 like ya baby...great dig
Pop's here. I to.would like to see the cleaned up finds.
As you dont have the base embossing of that applied top food bottle - I cant ID it as a Heinz (a very special and rare and scarce shaped Heinz !) or some other rare and scarce food bottle of that time period.
Be safe in that hole Tom
Another great video! Love it when you bring in the heavy machinery!
hahaha we got lucky because the guy who owned the field had a tractor! didnt even have to fill the thing in! thanks for watching
I have many questions for you. I live in a town discovered in late 1700s and it started growing in 1800s due to coal , i cant seem to find good maps of the past for my property. How are u able to ?
Just found ur channel. Im hooked
Trade secrets? Wouldn't want to start another Gold Rush.
Enjoy your content, keep it up.
Great haul. Love hearing your excitement when you find something you haven't before or really old. Love seeing history being uncovered one bottle at a time. Wow. Love these videos. Have you ever dug here in the East
I just recently started watching. I am curious why you don't have a metal detector down there with you. Any reason?
What for? Has there been anything metallic turn up? Cramped enough as it is.
@AxelOlsson-ks2gu you can get small hand-held ones. I would think you would find some metal.
I hear you say “on the way out” looks like your on the way in. What do you mean by on the way out?
Thanks I’ve enjoyed watching the incredible finds!
They are bring out of hole
The bottle is on the way out
Dang that was a deep hole, but wow did you get a jackpot with the different finds. Take care and thank you for sharing 👍🙏❤️ the other pits weren’t as good but still interesting 👏👏
Nice bro!
That 1940 out house I would just leave it alone. you can find that stuff in surface dumps.
hahah i know! the only reason we even dig those is because sometimes ive noticed that we will dig a pit, and the top foot or so will have stuff from the 20-40s, and then all the sudden it will drop in age to like 1900 or older. my theory is that the old pits would settle after a few decades and then in the 30s they would come along and start dumping trash into the holes, and then top them off with dirt, just to level out the yard.. ive seen that happen probably a few dozen times.. also, the pits from the depression era have some of the best marbles, so thats another hope.. doesnt usually pay off but ive noticed when i find 1 marble, there are usually at least a few more in the pit. thanks for watching and commenting!
That’s like the Grand Canyon of digs Tom!😮
Have you tried Bismarck north Dakota? I've found some old bottles there before.
Ive been meaning to get out there sometime. ive been in the towns in the surrouding area, but never in bismarck itself. i just kind of assume all the good stuff is cemented over. just like fargo and grand forks. dont get me wrong! those bigger, early cities in north dakota are a gold mine. its just gonna be hard to get into the right place, because of all the buildings and parking lots.. but i am planning on getting out there sometime. i usually try to keep most of it, within a 2 hour drive, so i can get home each night, but, im probably gonna plan a trip this summer and if not get to bismarck, ill probably be in the area
Did you find out what kind of a mustard jar that was? I was thinking that it might be a French's mustard jar?
You guys need a tripod head and winch. So you can haul up the buckets from deep holes.
Nice age
Reminds me of lyric “little brown jug in the vale”
