I sure enjoy watching your digs! I’m not able to get down to dig myself, so I sit back and enjoy you doing all the work! This was a great haul!
I think it’s your enthusiasm as you pull each item from the night soil that keeps me hooked!
While doing some excavating and levelling we found an old cistern from the original log cabin on our property. The old folks used the cistern as a dump when they moved to the new house. We found lots of small bottles from around 1900 as well as large brandy bottles exactly like the ones you dug in this video and lots of broken china. Also some rusted pieces of farm equipment and a hand pump from the cistern. We were very excited with our find.
If you ever consider starting a merch line, shirts that read "This Pit is Loaded!" would definitely reflect the spirit of not only the channel, but your enthusiasm as well.
Or "This is the Holy Grail of bottles"!
You definitely have to have “now that’s really something”!
😂
Great idea!
😂… How about … “I Never Dug One Of These Before “ 👍👍
I Swear Between You & Brandon I've been searching eBay for so many of your digs. I realize it's a lot of hard work... but your finds have been quiet Impressive !
I never thought I'd enjoy watching soomeone dig thru old outhouse shit!!!
I love this! Very interesting!
I am always impressed by how much you find that came from Ohio. It helps to illustrate how industrial production followed settlement and supported new settlement. If you dig the oldest pits on the east coast, you would find stuff from England. If you dig the oldest pits in western PA and Ohio, you will find stuff made on the east coast. As you dig the oldest pits in the upper midwest, you find stuff made in Ohio, etc....
I love those Bitters Bottles! I've only dug fragments of them. Charley Ross Bottle is awesome. Nice job Tom 👍
The label art would look good on shirts if you decide to supplement your budget with t-shirts, hats, mugs, and stickers/mouse pad. Old(looking) magnets would sell like crazy! Hope the idea comes to fruition and helps with funding the adventure! (I'm sure you guys have thought of it or heard of it before, but using bottle label art would look awesome!)
Wow what a beautiful haul of beautiful bottles Tom. Your so lucky to get a chance to dig those awesome bottles. I would love too. Just love them ❤❤❤❤
P
That sewing machine pedal I would love to own!! Excellent video Tom, thank you.
Great program Tom, super finds. Stay safe and best of luck to you. 👍
Yes what a brilliant dig that was - I loved the water jug, so pretty. Thanks for this x
Yet another great video !
Lots of great finds 😊
Thank you for sharing with us 😁
Yes! Another adventure. Thanks
Really interesting. Great vid. You sure know your stuff.
So very cool!! Love watching your videos, they always have me transfixed! Thanks 😊 💙💙💙
Tom, I love your videos. You are addictive! Have you ever thought of digging behind a barber's shop? I bet there would be some goodies there, too.
Fantastic video,love the picnic flask,& the nurser & well I loved all the bottles!
Awesome digs, Tom & Jake! It's cool to find old bottles, but it's just as cool to find all the other items as well!
Love them all every dig is enjoyed by us.
The fine tooth combs were lice combs. Depending on which side you used you caught the bug or the eggs. They still get made exactly like that.
I’m not even halfway through.. what wonderful finds!! I got to keep watching.. thank you
My laptop went to the ER, and I have not gotten it back yet. She is still on IV fluids and Dilaud for pain! Can't wait to get it back. This isn't easy on a phone. YOU ROCK TOM!!! 😎
This was EXCELLENT Tom. 👍🇬🇧
Glad to see some new digs! Thanks guys! Keep'em coming!
The Missing child toiletry bottle is among your greatest finds IMHO! Outstanding!
So excited about this video loved every minute of it congratulations on the finds can’t wait for another video 😊❤
Awesome finds! Like everyone, I love the unusual items! It's nice that you get the history behind some of the items and pass it on to viewers! One of the many reasons I keep returning to your channel!❤
I would love to see your collection I bet it's mind blowing
Tom- what do you do with the thousands of bottles you find?? Thanks!!
Right, trying to find the same w no luck, i Kno Tom has atleast one book written again no luck w that yet but I'll keep u posted if i have an answer. 🤞🏻🍀
WHAT ! NO KITCHEN SINK ! After that amazing variety of killer finds I think that's all you were missing. Your channel always makes me excited for the next. Great job.
I was using my grandparents open privvy for years as a kid. Stone built/stone slated outhouse , open to the elements at the back. A small wooden hole for us kids & a larger wooden seat for adults. This was the early '70's in the uk , in what was the real country. J&G Meakins mid century designs are the moneymakers here.
Great finds .
Love the channel :)
How do you look at thr land and decide where treasures my hide? I've got a few acres that used to be part of a large estate and plant nursery. I t s said that a previous owner had buried money on the property. The front if the land seems rippled as though it was once plowed. So we put a garden up front. We took a metal detector and found a copper rod that looked as though it were a marker, and also a small copper know. No ideaxwhat it was for. Before my purchase, it had been a dumping ground also used for hunting. The middle section is flat and then slopes downhill ending in a dry pond. It once held water and the p.ots were flooded until the government diverted the c water flow. But most of the flat levels are rippled, with a few mysterious holes , dips or sink holes. What would I look for to find treasure? There are strategically placed oak and pecan trees. Plus one spot with an oak stump, trash and evidence of a burn pit. Any info would be appreciated.
Look for a depression &/or a mound in the field.
Thanks for another great video. I love old bottles
That soda bottle is awesome, and the picnic flask.
Happy Monday and thank you. Interesting dig, still enjoying your videos and finds.
THANKS TOM, a much appreciated foray into the past, so many treasures, cheers!!🥰💕👍👍💪💪
Love your channel!!!
Great dig(s)! Some new unusual goodies. Thank you!!😊😊❤
It’s fascinating. My dads parents
Were born 1889 (Ira) and 1893(Nora). It’s hard to believe how quickly some of theses towns grew up and died off… my 6th great grandfather came to James Town in the 1650’s. What’s shocking is he settled the area next to the “Washington’s”. The families were acquaintances but probably not friends. The Washington’s were educated and of high standing. My ancestors were just of the planter class. 6 generations is shocking to me.
Anyway I grew up on a large cattle and sheep ranch. We did exactly what these people did. We would dig a pit and throw in the trash. Our pits were usually 6-8’ deep and about 200 sq ft in area. We used a tractor but before that my grandparents just dug a hole with shovels. As the pit filled we would burn it using diesel (diesel will burn green tree branches down to fine ash). Anyway once the pit was no longer deep enough to keep trash from blowing out, we’d dig a new pit next to it using the dirt to fill in the old and excess dirt to fill ruts in roads.
Very good dig bile bean bottle my favorite
Man you found some crazy good bottles there!!! Congrats!! Great video fellas!!!
This was an awesome dig, I think the quart whiskey bottle was amazing. But actually there were several amazing pieces! Have a great week!
Super cool digs... thanks for sharing
The butter pat dish could have also been an ashtray. They were used as a single use, before the waiter or waitress took it away.
Great video.. nice bottle you found there.. What is the oldest bottle you've ever dug up.. Do you sell or give away bottles?You have so many of them Just asking.. Again, great videos
Some many nice looking bottles. Keep up the good work and see you in the next dig...👍🙏
nice finds well done keep digging for more find
This looks like so much fun...I wish I could do this...I'm 83 can't do it now darn it LOL😅😅😅😅😅❤❤❤
Wow !!! Wow !!! Such an Awsome dig !!!
I’m always amazed when things come out in tact..
Just stumbled on your channel and I'm hooked. Love the old history...new sub.
I don't know how you do it, down such a deep hole. You are very knowledgeable. I am new to your videos, what do you do with all the bottles?
Sometimes i get so involved in watching i forget to Smash that like button.!
Love the multiple digging holes and of course the old pits are the best. Keep them coming Tom also can you tell us if you sell any of your finds and what sites do you sell? thanks and take care out there!
I love, love , love the doll leg.
A sweet Hutch here, I imagine you would want to keep it.
A very rare bottle it seems. LOVE IT!
Tom has his own New channel “ Tom Askjem “
It is a thrill when you unearth a never seen type of bottle, any several in these pits. And the "medicines" our ancestors took for their ailments.
What do you do with all the things you dig? You have found some great items
Awesome finds!
I don't have a clue how I missed this one earlier? 🤔🤔
haha yeah i dont know! if a video ever comes out on a friday saturday or sunday then it will be a new one. if it comes out mon-thurday then its a combined video or a re-edited version of an older video. Yeah this was probably one of my favorite videos to come out this year, its a shame it didnt do super well. sometimes we released a video and RUclips just decides not to show it to anyone
A silly question from someone from New Zealand! What is the process do you go through to obtain the permission to dig in these places? I thought I would ask! You provide a great programme though!
Great stuff !
I just read the Charlie Brewster Ross story. Very sad.
Those little two sided combs look like modern day flea combs for dogs or cats.
Good stuff. I always expect you to find a dropped coin. Maybe it's best to not disclose the coins.
The bile pills and the missing child perfume bottle were great to see.
Great finds
What great finds...and a hutch...yeehaa...so enjoy the videos...🥰🥰
Dude ….. Merch idea. T Shirts that say “This pit is loaded!!” 😄🤘
Wow i love history as well man you are lucky to have that jus to touch them it is incredible they are not broken.:) Hope you take them and make sure you preserve the items wow .Im a new sub i jus love history thank you .New friend Barbara NWP, FL
I love the bitters bottle I bought a bottle in Tifton Ga. in one of the antique mall a London England dry Gin bottle a light blue I’m sure I’ve seen you dig one
13:40 very nice bottle.
You know it's going to be an awesome pit when the first find is from 1885! 😮
Two + feet of dark topsoil. Thats why people farmed the great plains in the first place!
We have a face bottle in Mount Vernon museum..( George Washington home) A you boy was taken in old town Alexandria, the bottle was found somewhere on the Estate...
I wish I could buy all these ironstone pieces your finding! 😭😭😭
Would that be a nit comb ?..great finds, love your videos, watching from U K ..
Interesting old stuff but there must be more somewhere ,that wasn't a lot. Unless someone found the really loaded one and beat you to it. Can't wait til the next one ... I've caught the pit diggin fever.😅 Let's go.🐎🐎🐎
What do you do with the bottles that have contents still inside? Thanks for an awesome video!
Hi Tom and jake another good bottle hunt fantastic finds 👏 👌 and some holy grail ones too 😊😊 I'm always amazed 👏 when you explain the history of the places you go to 😊all the best Andrew south wales uk 👌 👍 👏 😀
Oh look, a sewing machine. This must be a Saloon. Baby food, definitely a Saloon. Men's cologne, a third Saloon!
Would you prefer huge bottles of booze, must be alcoholic parents, many more bottles of highly alcoholic medicine, must be addicted family, even more booze, must have gone to their graves early with all that liquor?
23:25 lice or flea i think
Mmmm, lots of intact bottles ? Suspicious
Two holy grails in one day! 😊
Where can i purchase the Mellin's bottle from Boston, my hometown🍀
Killer vid..... nic3 job..
Put black light on those bottles. I'm betting they glow
I have my art studio in Lowell, Massachusetts.
Those two combs were it combs for head lice. Nit combs look the same today.
Do you sell any of your bottles???
Those are hair nit/lice combs used for removing hair lice and there eggs.
😊
Those combs are for head lice.
Why do you call it a “shoofly” style bottle?
@@thepirhomancer9745 thanks
Those are lice combs
do the pits still smell after 100 plus years
Some of the really wet pits seem to smell.
This was a fantastic one. Congratulations on all the great finds. 🫶🇦🇺
tom, sometimes you hit a layer i swear i can smell it thru the puter.
