That is the best dump I ever saw with the most amazing bottles I've ever seen dug. I can't believe how deep you guys dig but it pays off to find old vintage valuable highly collectible bottles. Congrats.
I love your channel man...... I’m also in Alabama, north east to be exact..... and love digging.... I own the property that belonged to the first sheriff of my county..... and as far as I know has never been dug!!!!!
Brandon - if you ever find a Phoenix Bottling Co. "Hutch" bottle [with a "T" for Arizona Territory], I will pay well for it! The odds against finding an Arizona bottle in Alabama are beyond imagining, but you guys have me fired up! I know the location of some old townsites in the Arizona desert. I'm going to find where the dumps were located and start digging!
This is so cool! I've found bottles laying in the creek on my grandparent's farm, and this is inspiring me to go dig out there and see what I can find. Finding those bottles is the best feeling in the world, I would love to meet you guys, but I am in Texas and there is probably no way. I love this video so much, it is so cool!!! Thank you for sharing
I have apparently lived a sheltered life I'm 56 and have never heard if bottle digging but I watched you guys and now it's all I practically watch. Love your videos
Wow! Congrats on that bucket-lister! Beautiful Hutch. And what a haul! So much great stuff in there-the straight-sided Pepsi, the poisons-looking forward to seeing more.
I wanted to hear what you had to say about Ball jars having a number 13 on the bottom but you got cut off and disturbed with that cave-in that happened. It's amazing how deep you guys dig in that dump. My dumps I dig 4 or 5 feet at the most and I hit bottom. You guys made a fortune from that dump.
I dug my first tooled top Hires right here, near my house. I've found the macine ones over in Waipahu. Too many machine bottles there, but not yet pyroglazed. Found some good stuff sifting, Dimes and a Duke Kahanamoku watch fob. Some of my best bottles I found waist deep in the West Loch of Pearl Harbor, a cracked Aiea soda works hutch, said to be a $2000- bottle? I don't think so, but it was my last hutch 2010-16 when I found four here in Waianae. Put together 95% of a Hawaiian amber HI. Found my oldest coin, 1872 quarter, worn out when lost c1900. Later found a Pantheon Saloon token, no S counterstamp, so pre 1900, when Jim Dodd died and his son in law, S.I. Shaw took over. Last bottle last year, c1915 ABM Waialua soda Works slugplate. Mint and not for sale.
Hello! I am a Japanese bottle digger. It is a very deep hole, but there are many attractive things that come out of the bottle, so it's a fun video to watch!
Hey guys. Wow, they are big mole holes!!! You all dig some amazing bottles up. You might need a bigger display cabinet! Don’t forget the ladder next time though! 😜Take care, GL&HH. Deano.
In Maryland, there is a farm right by my house and I go down near the creek and I find a lot of old coke bottles and Pepsi’s! I have never seen old Buggles like the ones you find! You got my subscribe!
I knew an ol' timer who picked up a used dishwasher at a garage sale, hooked it up to his garden hose in the front yard, ran electricity to it and washed his bottles that way. Stayed married and it really worked well. I'm sure you have a cleaning apparatus such as this.
What a great day you all had. I love the Pepsi bottle, that’s my drink of choice. Do you still have that cool bottle or did you sell it for the $500.00?? I love to see them all cleaned up, so pretty.
Yeah once you find some good glass, especially from the 19th century, you’ll be hooked. I started detecting and switched to bottle digging about 5 years ago, I haven’t picked up my detector since. Lol.. I mean I’ll use it to find a old farm dump while looking in my area east of Cincinnati every now and then. I usually dig privys and cisterns in the city though. I’ve dug some nice glass, including stoneware, china, pipes, marbles etc etc..over the last several years. When I first started I was digging around in what I call 50s dumps, which range from the 1940s into the 1960s. You won’t find much in those, regarding bottles, there all mass produced crap. I have found a lot of cool nic nacs in the 50s dumps, toys, brass nic nacs and a few pre-64 silver quarters and dimes. I’m trying to dig pontil aged privys now, but damn it’s tough, being that the majority of them have been dug already, at least the easy ones. But I’m still happy when finding a stuffed privy from the 1870s to 1910ish. That and there’s always cisterns that are stuffed, some I’ve only had to dig down a foot before hitting ash and glass. A lot of the older guys who dug up all the easy pits back in the 1980s/90s, especially the pontil pits wouldn’t touch the cisterns. I call them bottle snobs.lol But hey, that’s all good for me. Because I’ve dug hundreds of blown/BIM bottles and stoneware etc from the cisterns. You’re in Ohio, so you should do good. Guys west of the Mississippi have it hard when trying to locate BIM or pontil bottles, unless they’re in San Fran or near some old mines etc. The guys east are sitting on a gold mine, especially in the New England area, and down the coast. They are able to find massive dumps and privys with pontil bottles pretty easy compared to us. It makes a huge difference, just being a state away, wether it’s east or west. Pennsylvania diggers do better it compared to Ohio diggers, regarding pontil glass, and they are next door. It’s just the timing of the population movement going west back then and when they stoped using the pontil method in the 1860s/ civil war era. There’s just a lot more there than there is here. But again, we are still in a pretty good state, so I can’t complain.
A while back after not looking for old bottles cause I wasn’t finding the kind I was looking for, I was crossing the street to my house and I passed the electrical wire pole and stepped on something brown and I looked down and started to pull it out of the ground only to find out it is a 1908 Lysol bottle
Incredible dig! We had a blast. That Indian was unbelievable. We can’t wait to get back and do it again. I’m gonna put you on some civil war action when you pass through Louisiana! Awesome vid. Looking forward to the next one!
Hopefully it will never happen but there is always risk! I have been doing this for over 10 years and have never had it happen but we usually take precautions that arent shown in the videos.
Damn congrats not Hutch man that thing is gorgeous beautiful pictorial Hutch Love the Indian on it you guys are pulling some good stuff out of there for sure what's the chances of pulling a Bessemer Coca-Cola hutch out of there you never know good job guys good luck happy huntin
Such Nice looking bottles. The indian one, oofff. Sweet. I don’t know anything about the price’s of bottles but five hundred seems fair for something so beautiful. Those holes you all are digging seem, dangerous. Digging a hole in the desert like that is a death trap. Over the years several guys have died on digs. Lack of knowledge. If your digging in Colicchie (spelling?) you’ll need a hand held jackhammer, generator, and a smaller air compressor. If the layer above is, and that’s what you want, is a ancient river bed ( normally somewhere in the jurassic era) just might not be as cemented hard enough to keep from crumbling down on you. Two older guys working together isn’t good. The digger gets covered and he has the truck keys. Now the other is stuck trying to dig out friend. Sad. One fellow was covered up to his chest. Sand and gravel will start settling in and down crushing your innards. Took helicopter over 30 minutes to find where they were, and a flat enough to land. Thank goodness a new cell tower was installed 60 miles away on a mountain top 7 months prior. He had been crushed so badly the hospital and doctors couldn’t save him he only made for 6 days. That made other people come to understand there are unseen dangers. Don’t mean to ramble, just thinking about you alls safety. 👍🏻
You guys need to screen the dirt, find the jewelry, coins & tokens. I make & advertise for sale in AB&GC magazine. Oak & Stainless 1/4" screen, c14x22" . These are made with ten years experience as a chronic screener. "A Hutch showin' what a great phrase!
Hey man if y’all are digging in Bama I’m in the 256 but willing to travel. Been digging and detecting for 10 years and was a club founder at one point. Would love to dig with y’all Holler at me
Tell me guys - ive watched quite a few bottle digging vids from various people in the USA and you all dig only with spades and maybe a small hand scrapper, can you tell me why you never use full size garden forks?? Honestly it would transform your digging experiences, every single time. Im from Englend by the way
@@adventurearchaeology Ah, ok. yes I can see the ground is often dry and hard because of that. God its so hard digging with just a shovel though, especially on the knee joint and the hands. Awesome tip here compared to the other posts i see from elsewhere in the States, that quite honestly do nothing for me
Amazing lads me and my 10year old son has just started bottle digging. Found a few nothing amazing like yours keep up the good work and some great finds to just subscribed to your channel we do magnet fishing bottle digging metal detecting just started metal detecting. Would you like us to share your channel on our UK Facebook page

OK happy hunting so glad i subbed to your channel oh and im Tracy from finding goodies
I found a ball and that said Pat. July 14, 1908. Any idea when it's from? You may say 1908 but the date doesn't mean the year it was made. Like a 1915 coke was made until December 25, 1923 when the new Christmas coke came out.
