Hitting an Absolute Jackpot Buried in the Rubble of a Burned Down Hotel from 1880 

Love to watch the amount of things you dig out of these pits, always wonder how much of a dip it leaves in the ground once you fill in the hole.

Always fascinating!

Yes..a honey hole ..such good finds...sorry about the hutch...love your videos and your knowledge ...🥰🥰

I used to live in Pittsburg and have been to cherryvale. Nice finds!

Hi Tom, I've watched most of your videos and love them. I'm an antiques collector and wondering where do you sell the bottles ? Do you sell online ? I'm interested to know. Thank you.

Love all your live digs

Nice large Parke Davis bottle - biggest I've seen you dig!!

It’s so relaxing as I sit here watching you work so hard for your discoveries 😍🤩👍🏼 keep up the good work

I absolutely love your you tube!!!

love your videos keep them coming - I like the history you put with the area and bottles. I am a history buff so this is very interesting to me!

WoW👍👏gr from the Netherlands

I would love if you found a spot where they just moved the outhouse spot and built a new one. They have to be out there somewhere. What you do to find these cleaned out ones is over the top, you have the touch for sure!

Loved this one it seemed like it was alot cooler during this one. Cannot wait to see what comes next, I love the adventure. Thank you again for taking us along with you guys.

A lot of neat bottles for sure. I really like the blue glass bottles.

Learning alot about bottles and life styles from the past. Great job guys. 🙋

Just recently found your RU-vid shorts on your excavations. Love to see what you do. I was wondering if it would add interest to show your total findings after you finish all cleaned up to see the beauty of those artifacts. Maybe also show the pit after you fill it back up. What do you do with what you find? Sell them?

What a pit! Those liquor flasks

Honey hole for sure, great finds!❤

Another great dig! What number of digs are you up to now? Thanks a bunch gentlemen 🙏 Edit: We were talking about it in the comments a bit ago. Would be great to know! I seem to recall 1350 was mentioned once.

Awesome finds!

Thank you for another awesome dig. Can I ask, what you do with all those bottles? I've watched you dig out thousands of them. Where do you put them all?

Good job

Is there an airport or Air Force base nearby? I wonder about the constant wooshing noise in the background, I live not far from Detroit Metropolitan Airport and hear the same noise constantly.

I found a dr king in northern Michigan 😂

Colonel Mustard did it in the parlor with a ketchup bottle 🤔🙂

FYI, colic and cholera are 2 very different diseases.

Do you sell any of your bottles that you find multiples of?

What do you do with all the bottles? Do you sell them?

Does anyone ever analyze the residue in these bottles?

Is is safe to dig those? What about bacteria? And I notice you don't use a metal detector or a pinpointer. Couldn't there be coins dropped in there?

Is that ground frozen? Have you ever been approached by law enforcement or anyone else questioning why you are digging where you are?

Do you ever find clay pipes?? Or is that a European thing??? Love your videos💖 Michigan viewer.👍

Darn shame all of the soda bottles were broken 😔

How much would a bottle that says Cherryvale KS on it go for?

Can you give an average price it would add fun

How do you decide what questions to answer in the comment section? I notice you only answer a select few. You would probably never dig again if you were to answer them all. Lol. Just curious.

Have you guys ever found any human remains or other things of interest other than bottles?

Old episode

So Much broken China and porcelain pieces ...must have broke every dish and cup in the house lol 😆

Etruria, like Hanley are both suburbs of Stoke-on-Trent in the UK. Not Italy. Most English pottery would have been manufactured and exported from there back then. Keep up the great work Tom!

Careful with my China‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🤗🤗🤗🤗

You ever find any complete turds?

You use to use a wooden stick now you use a steel trowel why did you switch the wood at least protected the bottles more than a steel trowel!

Do you make any money off of this stuff that you dig out?

Here I am once again eating dinner watching Tom dig an outhouse pit.😅

If most of these pieces are from a time period at least 20 years after the hotel burnt down, does that mean there's another outhouse pit containing MUCH older items (used by the hotel guests) from the mid-1800s?

I am about 12 min in and my question is the bottles are 1905. The building burned down in 1880 ? I can understand if the outhouse got extended use after the fire . Would you expect the bottles to get older deeper in the pit ? Or do you think this outhouse was built on the property after the fire ? Like a communal public outhouse ?

Thank you all for interesting videos, I enjoy very much watching your videos.

Another wonderful educational experience 🎉. 💪😎

Would be awesome to do a Q&A video about your finds. I'd love to know what you do with them afterward! Do you sell your finds? 😍😍😍

My home 3 family home was built in 1900 and i want to try to find it old out house pit , have no clue where to look, I don’t understand the map thing , the people who built this house also owned a bar that was next door to the house, we remolded this house gutted it found the old oil lamp hanger in the ceiling,

1 st❤️❤️ I love all your videos 😍

What do you do with things you find? Does it take a lot of convincing of property owners to let you dig on their property? Do the property owners get any compensation?

good dig.

Do you ever consider cutting down the bottles that have broken tops to make drinking glasses? A mudlarker I follow in the UK does that with the cod bottles he finds. They are so cool. Love your videos.

Great video as always, but the last 3 have had more bottles than 10 videos before all together. I love it when you say, " I never seen this bottle before." If you haven't seen it, it is rare!! Your Patreon is the best bargain I have got this year. Keep them coming!!! Lou

People back in the day, were obviously into the opium and morphine... The original Coca cola contained cocaine. .. Grandma's energy drink...😏

I’m amazed the amount of knowledge you have and you can hear the passion when you’re in the pit thank you for sharing your knowledge with us

Our house was built in 1900. We live in Caney Kansas, on the Kansas Oklahoma line. Love your videos. I am pretty sure I know where the main house outhouse was and the servants quarters outhouse as well. I never thought of trying to dig them. Not sure we could by ourselves, we are 65. If you are ever in this area let me know we have converted the servants quarters into a B&B.

Hi, I just read your documentary of when you became interested in digging, at a very young age at that…. Truly interesting being apart of wondering how your love for finding out so much and digging so many sights became your reality. I can see that you decided to take your interest into writing your own history books including your learned knowledge of some very remarkable finds from so many years ago and how the people lived in the days before we were apart of life itself. From what I’ve seen as far as the amount of liquor bottles and extract bottles found in so many of the pits you’ve dug thus far….. alcohol played a huge part in many peoples lives during these times. It’s funny in a way because any way you look at it, really, not much has changes as far as as alcohol still being a big issue in society today. Makes me wonder if people drank for the same reasons way back when , for the actual good feeling they got from the liquid, or also to cover pain either created due to accidents, sorrows or just plain addiction that comes with trying it there first time? Crazy, that alcohol has survived as many era’s, as the bottles you have dug. Good on you in your endeavors of taking us further to the knowledge of times gone past.

Hey Tom, you know artists who do broken glass/tile pieces would probably buy your broken colorful pieces.

Hello! I was so involved with all your finds that I went to two estate sales and bought about 30 bottles and cartoon drinking glasses. I spent 133.00 dollarsS. I have a really old wawa milk bottle, medicine bottles embossed. Now what to do do with them ?

Love watching your digs. Do you sell the bottles on Etsy or somewhere else? Im in Scotland so have found some really old bottles and an old pieces. But dont dig as i broke my back so dont get out much. Your videos help relax me and are easy to watch while crafting.

Thanks,Tom and crew....

A hotel from 1880s once occupied this site and subsequently burned. What would be the reason for this site to be vacant now? A large structure is razed and cleared of debris. What would be the reason another structure wasn't built on the former site if the hotel? It would seemingly be a prime location if a hotel had been placed there earlier.

Dude, you need to be a little more careful. I’ve watched tons of your videos and you just show me that thing in there. There were lots of treasures you ruined while digging be a little more careful dude you got treasure down there and you digging like a badger.

I wonder if sometimes the ashes were still hot when thrown down the privy, and if they caused the privy to be full of smoke!

You have a great camera person. What happens to all those bottles after you clean them?

I think you could have your eyes closed and still know what the bottles is and where it came from 😊

6;16 is an egg cup

A repeat from the other day titled something about 143 year old finds from a map found?

I discovered you not too long ago while you were covering south Dakota and I was thinking to myself "I wonder if he'll ever do a dig in Kansas" ❤😭

I notice a lot of these companies started in the 1850’s- where are the bottles from this era?

First time watching…what do you do with the stuff you dig?

You have to laugh when the bottle says good for cough, diarrhea and cholera

Do you ever cut your hands or knees on the broken glass? Yikes

Hello Tom, I sent a comment message a while back, I'm not sure where it went, but I was telling about a possible place for you to dig. I was at a presentation on the history of the town of Hendrum, MN by a man named John Kolness from that community. The town was preceded by a community that no longer exists named Quincy. I never heard whether my message was received or not.

I would love to buy a piece or two

You can certainly tell how people lived by what they discarded.

Good job

😍😍😍💖💖💖

I’m such a dork. I finally watched another of your videos, and figured out your digging tool was a spade with the two forks on the outsides cut off. I had a friend make one for me. Love it! What a great idea. Thanks for the idea. You guys find the most amazing stuff. Maybe I’ll have more of a chance with cool tools, lol….

Saludos and Thank You.... I do love these videos, yet another one; devoured.... Cheers and Blessings sent!

These people can not literally think outside the box...lol...Metal detector...etc...?

At the 4-h llama farm we belong to I found a woodbury skin cream jar from the 40-50s. The back of the farm was a dump for the people who lived there.

Love hearing that Redbird calling for rain,as you're digging...We didn't see any of that beautiful bird down here in the Tampa bay area... Good job 😎!!!

I think it's so cool that you're in Cherry Ville Kansas. I'm from Kansas City Kansas have heard of cherryville

Why not locate the old town dumping ground. Usually a deep ravine, a large hand dug pit or if close by, a river or creek. But what do I know, I've never dug a privy, though I know where some are. Great Finds !

Favorite finds: Mustard drugstore and Foleys sample. Oh. And Hannah's drug. I was rooting for a hutch for you. Great photos! Thank you.

Another great pit digging video Tom! Congrats on all the druggist bottles! Make sure to detect the soil piles as I've found gold and silver coins in outhouse pits!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

A few unusual pieces dug on this site. Must have been many ailing folks staying at the hotel with the amount of medicine bottles unearthed and liquor bottles to kill what ailed them, just kidding. Thanks for another interesting dig.

finding any pre civil war bottle must be extremely rare

It’s a shame you don’t save the pieces of porcelain you find near a big piece. They may be pieced together to make a whole thing.

Hi Tom and jake another great finds 👍 we use to have a park Davis factory making medical products were I live so we come across some bottles but the pit was produced a good lot of bottles all the best Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧

The pit that kept on giving! Lots of interesting embossed bottles. I really liked the pedestal cold cream jar.❤

Yup at 13:45 LOL its Carrhart, now how about the jacket!!!! hehehehe

There is always so many drugstore bottles. Was everyone that sick or was it the ingredients?

Killer site man , and bet your right , no telling what’s hiding beneath, great vid thanks for sharing

Thought there would be more hutches....nice haul
