I dig bottles as a hobby and a career. I film all of my bottle digging. I post all of them, even the bad ones. I dig N.C. mostly, but I go to Texas & Alabama, West Virginia, South Carolina, New Mexico, Arizona, Southern California. If you are experienced and want to dig with me in one of those states, then let me know, I will try to arrange it.
He uses a 3 - to 5-foot probe. But it depends on what state or town you're in. I live in a small river town in indiana, and the privys are 8 feet deep on average.
I Am brand new to your channel as of today. What I don't understand is why you don't show what you find cleaned up. We would love to see those signs cleaned up period is that a possibility ?😊
Idk if it’s just the tone of your voice but it really seems like you aren’t enjoying this. Even when you trespass and find 2 porcelain signs, you still never get excited. I’m sure people will get on me for saying this but you sure don’t sound like you enjoy what you do. Half the time you accuse people of watching your videos and then stealing stuff from places you found years earlier. The only reason I even watch these is because you’re in my backyard. Buck up bro! Maybe try to fake it a little and at least sound like you are enjoying yourself. Just my 2 cents
I've messaged several bottle searchers even adventure archeology. No one responds but you. I've have found 500 bottles on the service just under the leaves or maybe a foot beneath the dirt. I found a privy with cement oval hole like the one you showed at the beginning of this video. I have not been inside yet. I live on top of a hill and there is a yellow clay layer on a foot beneath the surface on top of this hill. Is this enough to get your attention
The blue boarded up building in benson is the old Hotel Arnold. It was built in 1890 but not used until 1906. Years ago we were actually in touch with the owner and had been given permission to metal detector the grounds but we moved from the area and never had the chance to detect it
@@swbottlesVery cool finds! I live in Charlotte, NC and have a few good digging spots not yet bulldozed in town and just outside of it. I go digging pretty regularly, if you’re ever around d these parts and want to join me, feel free to hit me up!
@@swbottles Do you have a “public facing” email addy I can send you my contact details to, as I’m not super keen to post my number on a public forum such as this?
@@swbottles And I’ve also suspended most all of my weekend digs because of the heat. It’s just too miserable and muggy this time of year but by Sept. there will be days here and there that are at least tolerable.
Great find with that Brookfield made CD 202 one-piece transposition insulator! Likely was skirt embossed FRED M. LOCKE. The dome embossed beehive is what we call a "CREB", short for Crown Embossed Brookfield. That dates to the 1880s era. Now you have found the dome and umbrella portion of a CD 196 1 piece transposition that would more than likely been skirt embossed H.G. CO., but could have been the harder to find Hemingray No 51.
@@swbottles Anytime! I started collecting in 1979 at the age of 8 and am an active insulator trader and dealer. Do you ever get to any insulator shows?
Some times ya do, sometime ya don’t. Keep on goin I say. Maybe a cheap metal detector would have helped whilst wandering around that log coop. Better luck next time Scott. My anticipation was still high for you anyway.
That was a suspension insulator for high voltage lines. They bring about 10 bucks a disk if they are older. They typically have the year of manufacture on them
