Old Map Led Us to RARE & VALUABLE Buried Treasure! Threadless Insulators & Pontil Bottles Privy Dig 

Thanks! Not every threadless has extreme value. But these ones in particular are very very rare and desirable

Thanks for watching Harry! Glad you enjoyed. Not sure what route we will take yet with the pieces. We have many interested in buying them. I may look into having them professionally repaired. What are your thoughts?

Thanks for watching!! Glad you enjoyed

Thanks!!

🤣🤣🤣

Thanks Tarra!! back atcha 🎄 🎁

Thanks Matt! Stay tuned 😎 gonna do them all in order

Thanks Thomas! Really appreciate that

Thanks Taylor! He must have been successful alright. We dug 7 whole examples and 1 or 2 broken in this pit. None pontiled though. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!! This one was such a fun pit. This was our best lot yet. Nearly 8 pits on this lot

Insanely rare! Would've been huge $. thanks for watching!

Thanks buddy it was a fun pit for sure!

Absolutely! Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed

Merry Christmas Jerry! 🎄

Thanks so much! Was so much fun doing the LIVE and chatting with you guys

Thanks Mark! Back atcha!

Let me know when you finish it! Don't want to ruin the surprise

Thanks Debra!! Almost every pit in this neighborhood had at least one Mrs. Winslows soothing syrup bottle in it so it must have done its job well, though having a very negative side effect on the babies health unbeknownst to the parents I'm sure. We are going to probably end up selling the insulators. A lot of people are interested in them, even just the broken pieces. We have pieced together one that is about 70% intact (the one in the thumbnail) and the other pieces can piece together about 2 more that are roughly 30-40% intact or so. We may look into having them professionally repaired. Not quite sure yet! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed!

Hahahahah glad someone caught that

It really just depends. Typically we draw straws and go around in a circle taking our picks one by one. We are all very lenient though and always find a way to make sure everyone goes home happy no matter what. If it is something very valuable, we usually will sell and split the proceeds

Thanks! "Old West Bottles" has great probes. We had one from "singing privy probes" but liked old west better

@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers Thanks for the advise! Really appreciate it!

@@metaldetectingwiththesilva8311 Not a problem! We eventually plan to do a video showing exactly how we go out and find privies. Step by step

@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers I'll be looking out for that! I've detected around some cellars up here in new England that have odd depressions in the ground nearby that I thought were not wells, maybe they are privies?

@@metaldetectingwiththesilva8311 Could be! You don't necessarily need a probe in that case. Could do a test hole if you already suspect an area of being a privy. Sometimes the depressions can be seen. We have found them this way many times. Of course the probe makes it easier. We have dug some that were so obvious, a probe was hardly necessary. Love those ones!

Probably going to have it professionally repaired or sell to someone who would

Which part had loud music?

@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers The episode where you mentioned turning the music off because of the copyrights of what was playing. I couldn’t really hear what you were saying until the music disappeared😀. It was the music on Rob’s phone.

@@carolmay5168 Ahh gotcha! Yeah we try to be careful with that

​@@ParlorCityPickersDiggersThis stuff is fascinating to me! I'm assuming these pits are old outhouse pits, but why does all this stuff end up in an outhouse and not in a dump? Especially old insulators that were not typical away from a railroad environment? You would think they would just be dumped along the tracks?

@@craigholden564 Hi Craig, glad you enjoyed the video! Be sure to check out some of our other vids if you have time. These are indeed old outhouse pits. Typically people in the city would throw trash into the outhouse pit because it was closer/easier to discard of rather than having to haul it off to the dump. Since there was already a deep and smelly hole right in the back yard, it just made sense to throw trash there and keep the "nasty" stuff all in one place. As for the railroad insulators, that part I do think is rather odd. Maybe they were already broken when discarded, and since the outhouse was so close to the tracks (literally within 100 feet) perhaps they throw the pieces there to avoid having broken glass laying around the tracks as a potential hazard. We have dug several pits with insulators in them, but never any intact. Some weren't even close to railroad lines which made it even more strange!

We just knock on their door, introduce ourselves,, and tell them what we do. Usually I mention that we have been researching their area and if we have the sanborn maps ill show them those as well

Not sure what you mean by that. The pits were originally dug back in the 1800s and then the walls lined with stone, brick, or wood (in this case, stone). However wide/deep they dug the pit way back when is exactly how wide and deep we will dig it today. Anything outside of what they dug and constructed won't be holding any artifacts

@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers didn't realize it was that kind of pit. I just saw the sides in my mind falling on you guys. You found some great stuff

Not sure what part you're referring to
