I just found and really enjoy your channel! In the early 1990's I worked for a company that was building a new marina on the edge of the Detroit River, north of downtown. They dug up and dredged what what must have been a dump for the city (circa 1890's-1910's) because they unearthed THOUSANDS of intact bottles. I collected a few of the nicer ones and still have an ink bottle. There was every kind of medicine, drug store, beer, liquor, etc. I remember the blue glass bottles and the octagonal-sided ketchup bottles. No fine china though!

That's hard work digging through decades of compacted layers of soil. I really enjoy reading the history of some of the makers of the bottled products. I have a few small bottles I found in my grandmother's junk pile out back by the shed. That was in the hills of northern Pennsylvania. I'm 75 now, She was born in the late 1880s. So I have no idea of the age of these bottles. Probably circa 1900. Thanks for your interesting videos. I really enjoy them. I live in Italy now btw. You can't dig a hole anywhere here without discovering some history haha. God bless.

I just discovered your channel about a week ago. It surprises me that pickle jars and catsup bottles, dressings.. the bottles seem so much smaller than ones we have today. Curious as to your thoughts about whether it is because families made their own for the most part or these condiments weren’t used in the quantities that they are today. Or did the bottle manufacturer determine the size of the bottles? So interesting. Thank you for being enthusiastic and educational. Love your videos.
@BelowthePlains
@BelowthePlains Год назад
haha thank you! well.. i honestly think it was more of a luxury item.. not like caviar would be today, but maybe something more akin to a nice bottle of wine, that regular people only have a few times a month. i seem to find more of the condiment bottles in places that served food, and nice households. but yeah, ive noticed that some of them can be pretty small. BUT.. they did make larger bottles, especially once you start getting into the machine made era (post 1910)... i think sometimes the size can be a little misleading on camera. they were for sure smaller than some of the stuff you would find today, but not by a whole lot.. but yeah, ive noticed that some of the earlier stuff we find, tends to be in smaller bottles. it seems counter intuitive, because you would think that the glass bottle would comprise a larger part of the cost of the item, because the manufacturing was more crude, and would have been more time consuming. the only reason i could think to explain this is because basically all items sold in disposable glass bottles would have tended to be more of a luxury, that the average person might only have bought maybe once a month. so i just assume that the small sizes was simply because they were pricey items to begin with, and the seller could get more return on his product if he sold more bottles, with less volume.. hard to say tho! ive got about a million questions id like to ask about the manufacturing process and lifestyles of people back in the day, maybe one day ill come across some book that goes into detail on why they did what they did. anyways! glad you found the channel. thanks for watching

I live in a 1870 log cabin in Laramie, Wyo. While trying to remove a rather invasive vine I found at 2 feet down was trash/treasure. F the vine, found all kinds of bottles which are now in my museum/house. Anytime I build a permanent structure like a greenhouse I have to do a archeological dig. It's fun. The vine did go. The wedding vine that the UPRR brought from China I think cause it made a great fence. Oops.

@@felinefaye8550 walk a straight line out of the back door to the property line. Lots of times there will be flat stones leading from the door to where the pooper used to be. If they're still there they're probably a couple of inches under the grass bow. If you get close to the property line and see a depression in the ground, bingo! You've found at least one. The older the home, the more likely it is that more than one was dug. If that fails, get a probe rod. There are videos on RU-vid about how to probe for privies.

This would add another level of labor to everything, and be extremely low yield relative to the cost of good metal-detecting equipment. Whereas, he obviously knows that these pits will have a good amount of bottles, so he puts his labor into the latter. I sometimes watch 'depths of history', which is a good metal detecting channel.
