Your edits are amazing. I love that you share the actual information on each piece as you uncover them. Very informative. Great lesson in History ,while having integrity. Love watching your videos
wow thank you so much. glad you like! thanks, that really means alot. thats probably one of the nicest comments ive ever gotten. i appreciate that. thanks for watching
@@BelowthePlains he said what I was going to. I know where there's a lot of old bottles from the 1890's to the 1930's buried but they're not in their original locations as the original sites were dug out. 1 to put in a new road and the other to redo a road that kept failing because it was paved over topsoil instead of gravel. The one from the new road is an area about 300' x 100' and about 7' deep and I don't think a person could dig even 1' without hitting bottles or other items. I not only ran out of room for any more bottles but have since had back surgery and can no longer do it.
Just stumbled upon your videos and have been binge watching for hours! I agree with what the other person here said regarding your displaying the finds on the screen while you are digging them up. I really like and appreciate that as well! Great feature to the videos. Just curious if you get to keep all of the things you dig up or are they returned to the owners of the properties that you dig on? Love your videos because I absolutely love old stuff and history! Fantastic job!
Do a video on how you locate a spot. Or come dig my pre civil war house lot.
"Snuff jar"? I see you finding them on a lot of digs... Correct me if I'm wrong but,. The jars were for the outgoing and not a jar full of uncirculated snuff...
In other words,a spittoon?
I like the way you show the years, the company name and the pictures
man.....if they still dug graves by hand, YOU would be the man for the job!
They still do dig them by hand in alot of countries, but not here,thank goodness
I’m just grateful they haven’t uncovered some hundred year old crime scene with human bones chucked down the old privy….
@@mikewinings4120 even here there are still some cemeteries that graves are still dug by hand, but it is a very small percentage of cemeteries.
I so much look forward to your videos to see all the great treasures you dig up! Great finds, especially the snuff jar and chamber pot with lid all intact!❤
Beautiful Snuff and Chamber Pot...it does feel a little weird getting excited by a chamber pot, but, oh well! LOL
Hello 👋 from New York you Found Some Amazing Finds my Favorite Definitely Was the chamber pot with the lid Thank you for Bringing me Along with you I can't wait to see What you Find Next 😊
"on the way out" is always an exciting comment.
You guys are really good at what you do. Thanks a bunch!
Great to see you back at it. Super finds and that chamber pot with lid, awesome. Good job and be safe. 👍👍👍
Hello from PEI Canada. What do you do with the collections that you discover?
Some great finds specially the chamber pot and lid and the glass tumbler well done tom and jake Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧
You be careful . I hope to continue enjoying your videos as a healthy safe excavator. You definitely work hard.
You found a lot of awesome stuff. I like the drinking glass and the chamber Pot. I have a crazy question. How do you clean the stuff you dig up?
So Happy to come home and see a new episode recently uploaded! 🎉 Thank you so much!
Awesome dig Tom that chamber pot is killer!
That molded drinking glass you found is a great find. So pretty.
Enjoyed every minute of the dig…. Thanks for sharing! 😊
What a great dig. Love the spittoon and the chamber pot with the lid. Thank you both for taking us along. Stay safe out there!
Pop's here. Your trowel sure does a better job than the old dowel rod you used in the past. I still would love to see all these bottles cleaned up, and where the came from. An entire video of just that.
May I ask what do you do with all your finds?
I'm amazed how many bottles are still in one piece. If this was in Australia it would be one intact bottle for every 30 broken bottles.
Look ..don’t take offense…the reason they all busted up? Your ancestors ,they were all criminals…
Too dangerous in Australia to dig , a reptile of some sort would kill you , very dangerous country even more so than Africa
That glass cup, and the marble are cool
Tom, another great video. Your passion for history is obvious, and the quality of production makes your videos feel short. I always want more. Great job. Thank you. Are you ever going to sell shirts??
Nice bottles and etc. I really like that snuff jar. ThX for the video.
I like your videos. Please think about making a video on selling bottles and cleaning bottles. You are full of great information. Thank you!
I just love your videos! I can't wait to see what you pull out next. Love the bottles! I know you have to be sooooo tired by time you finish these holes. Thank you!
Always fun to watch, a variety of different bottles😊😊😊❤❤
woo"" you found a few nice ones in this pit , I would have loved to been over that dirt with my detector , gotta be a few coins lost in it . And the Chamber pot, must had a real nasty blow out in it and they just could not bring themselves to clean it out , seeing it was easier to buy another than engage themselves in an smelly and unclean pursuit of cleaning out its vile and unwholesome contents. One mans blow out is another future mans treasure
How many seats would a privy that size have?
Tom how you find these privies is just amazing. The snuff jar and chamber pot was so awesome to find them intact. Loved the crystal glass and glass lantern. Of course the bitters and blob tops were outstanding. 👏👍
Incredible finds.
I love how you share the history of the site and the history of the items.
(I live in ND) What do you do during the winter? ND has gotten a lot of snow this season. ❤
Awesome video love the snuff jar and the chamber pot
I've said it before.. Your guitar theme music 🎶 is great... Enjoy your site with the hard work and then, the awesome bottles and the other vintage relics..🕊️😵🌹
Do you ever find weapons, arrow heads, coins or anything with someones name on it??
When you prob for the privy, do you dig a few holes before you make your video? Also what books do you recommend using to idintify bottles?
Great job with significant finds in the amber & chamber pot combination
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL OOPS CAPS aarrghh sorry, Thank you for posting great clear videos, and close ups too. I would make a $$ contribution, the exchange rate is way too much for me every US $50 It will be $73.99 Australian. I wish you well, health and happiness take care of yourselves. Waving hi from Sydney, NSW Australia😊Love your work Tom & Jake, I've been Subscribed for a while but have been watching for just over a year. ✌👌👍
Super dig, and great intacts. The Security Whiskey bottle, I could see that design behind a saloon bar, just wonderful of the time, also reminded me of the curtain and dress trends from then. Thank you so much and as always I loved that. Keep safe :)
The chamber pot and lid intact are awesome. Thank you from Ohio
Lots of beautiful bottles Tom. I love the chamber pot with lid. Awesome video. Well at least it wasn't filled with water. That was a nasty did lol. I enjoy your videos. Makes me want to dig
That was an awesome dig guys ! Amazing to find the whole chamber pot with the lid & that decorative glass. Many great finds including the two hutches as well. Take care & best wishes !
Just a thought, but you dig many old sites. I see other guys doing this for coins. Maybe you should incorporate a metal detector? You could be missing out on very valuable finds 😊
Was the snuff jar also a split toon ??
Any chance you and your crew can privy dig in Bisbee or Tombstone Arizona?
I didn’t think those pits would still smell.
wow, two hutches, pretty good pit right there, better to get 1 soda than 100 liquor flasks
for sure, thanks for watching
I am amazed how big the beer bottles were at that time. Congratulations on the complete chamber pit and lid !!
And no refrigeration= warm beer yuk.....
The glass looks like American Brilliant. AB glass tends to glow under a blacklight.
both those hutch`s are super clean. nice color on the Stevens
Cool finds.
Man I own 4 acres on top of a sand hill in Sc. Wish I had that topsoil just a foot of it. Thanks again
What do you do with all the stuff you find. I love your videos
How do you map out the spots to dig?
😮 priceless history. Glad you dig it up. Estimate total value? How much? Just incredible finds Tom. Can you sell my a 16oz med and the aqua soda omg $?
Great dig! 🤙🏻Greetings from California, we have slides to look through right now 🍾🍾
Correction!...This was a great dig!
you guys are the best. keep on digging
Very good finds for today! GBU.,SM.,NZ.,✌❤🙂🤟
Hi BTP! Love your videos so much I had to sign up for Patreon! I figured it was time… hopefully others may follow!!!
Wow what another haul man ! That’s got to be top of the lis for some great finds ! Super nice oldies ! Thanks for sharing !
Awesome pit that was! How do you get so many permissions!?
I’m amazed how u ID every single piece just pulling them out
not a bad haul. never heard of that ozone bottle before, that things pretty cool
Really enjoy all your videos, hope all is well with you your book hopefully soon published. Wish you the best
My Favorite must be the Hutch and for sure the Chamber Pot and Lid - wow - fully intact !!!! Brilliant old Bottles and that Ceramic Door Knob is very Cool ! You sounded very Happy with the Dig - well done and Cheers from Australia !!!!
You guys are the archeological colonoscopy Docs serving the Dakotas.
"Effenbrau" would be a wonderful name for a beverage today.
I know you probe but how do you determine that its glass ?
I love your work!!! Would you ever like to come to Canada?
Wow! Great haul!
Yours are the first videos I look for everyday and am so happy to see a new one. Keep digging
Have you ever found any coins down in the holes you've dug?
What do you do with all the things that you dig up?
Great recoveries, Tom! Nice hutches and bitters.
That drinking glass is beautiful. That pattern might be Star of David. It looks like it. Great video! Great finds!!!
This is unique..been following you for awhile
Awesome digs sir!! Fricken winter just keeps hanging on and on😢
I’ve wondered if over time the odor goes away from these outhouse pits. … I have to say the tiny bottles are my favorite.
Wonderful videos, thanks for sharing with us the history you find. I’m curious, when you say at the beginning that you were probing and found lots of glass, how are you probing? Like digging test holes or with a rod or is there a glass detector lol
thanks! we really appreciate the kind words! and what i meant by probing is that we have these capital "T" shaped rods that we use to poke into the ground. they are about 4.5 feet long and we just go up and down the lot in rows until we hit a pit. the pit has a very distinct feel. you may not always hit glass, but a tell tale sign of probing into a pit is you will feel a hard layer on top, and then about a foot down you will feel/hear a crunch, and them below that you will feel layers and the ground will be much softer than the undisturbed ground.. the crunch up top is a layer of ash, that they would put on the pit before they covered it with dirt. this would help with breaking down the waste, which made the ground more stable above, and ppl wouldnt fall thru.. and they would throw ash down the pit at intervals when the pit started to smell bad.. again this would help break things down and make them not smell as bad. these layers of ash are the best sign of a pit.. and sometimes you will feel glass.. and if theres a lot of bottles down there, then you will eventually hit one and it has a unique "ting" sound to it... but sometimes you just wont hit a bottle, even if there are a ton in there.. the rod will slide past it..
well hope that answered your question
thanks for watching and commenting!
That sheyenne bottling works is amazing.
Awesome man ya hit the jackpot with that old-time chamber pot for real!Big time to score all the way around! Ga ya can find a lot of old bottles and things along the creeks and rivers in Ringgold and up towards the A Town for real!!
Love the pot and marble, super!! Love your videos!!!
Another great video. You work hard at it. Thanks for the history.
That was a nice assortment of finds!
Good to see this pit is dry, not like last weeks pit 🤮
I'd love to have the manufacturers catalogs that you show pages from, is there a source online for those?
yeah i asked tom, and he said he goes to a site called sha.org its like an online archive that shows you all sorts of historic documents.. you could also try loc.gov which is a great source for historic documents.. but you are just gonna have to use the search bar and browse around. i think he said he found those bottle patents by typing in "1906 catalog" and then you just go thru and kinda browse for what youre looking for. i wasnt 100% sure what he typed in but i know he put in "1906" and then some other stuff.. i would just try a few keywords like "bottle" or "patent" ..sorry i cant be more helpful. thats kinda tom's thing, doing the research and i just make the videos and run the channel. good luck! if you have any more questions you could probably ask tom directly if you added us on facebook. its just below the plains on FB, and if you direct message him over there, he should get back to you within a day or two. thanks for watching!!
Hi, love the videos. Ever considered including a metal detector?
Awesome finds, take care and thanks for sharing 👍👏❤️
Lots of finding beautiful bottles, you must use knee pads. Love your videos.
haha no knee pads. ive found that the less gear i have, the easier it is.. i used to wear rubber boots for when its wet, but they would just get holes in them. and thank you! glad you like the videos. i really appreciate that!!
Great video - as always. A few questions and sorry if you’ve covered them elsewhere. Do you sell what you find and if so, where? And do you ever run a metal detector to occasionally see if you are missing dropped coins? Love your content - thanks!
I think it was a comment on “Find of a Lifetime Buried in the Rubble of a 130 Year Old Train Station” where someone asked what they did with the “finds.” Some have ended up in museums, some have gone to the landowners, some they keep, some- don’t remember what they said, and the ones nobody wants…they bury.
@@valg.3270 thanks for the note.
Productive pit for the age
Real nice! Loved this one.
Fascinating. And the added historical content really makes this dig exceptional.
Great dig! It is always good to see Hutchinson's.
That marble is beautiful!
Im getting tired of the ( false advertising ) from you guys ! As o stroll across youtube, first one says
THEY DIDNT KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DIGGING UP !!! like it was gonna be something really exciting . The after you press watch , it goes on to say
( saw something sticking out of the ground and it turned out to be a massive payday !) That right there was a lie , you did see anything sticking out of the ground ! Thats not what you told us. Plus you dont make noting on bottles. What, about 6 bucks a bottle ? Just a way to get us to watch it. Well i watched the whole thing like i always do. Same old stuff. Some neat stuff for sure but again ( false labeling the videos. Not cool.
Great video, amazin pot
I'm amazed someone back then would have tossed a perfectly good chamber pot out, with lid, and it survived all these years. Same for that glass cup, which would look great with my cut-glass pitcher I saved from the dump in Glendale, California back in the 80s that was already an expensive antique at the time.
I tried finding you on FB, all I could do is (I think) send you an IM in ther version of messanger!! ❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢🎉🎉🎉🎉I still would love to buy some of your extra bottles???
