Something Strange Sticking Out of the Ground Leads to a Jackpot Buried in the 1890s 

I love the Salad Dressing bottle. So funny.

You guys should be metal detecting as well. You never know what kind of coins got dropped in there. I love watching you guys. Thanks for putting it out there and letting us watch.

Hi Jake, I love watching your videos from here in France. It's actually quite relaxing. One suggestion - I know your core interest is in glass bottles but I was wondering if it might behoove you to use a metal detector (one of those wand-shaped ones) - I'm pretty sure some of the depositors must have dropped the occasional coin in there, too. Especially in the privies after emptying their shoo fly bottle of whiskey. Bon courage...

Thank you to everyone who watches and leaves us a comment, and especially to everyone who signed up on patreon. Thats awesome. Working on getting exclusive content and early content over there.. still figuring out the site. Thanks everyone

Wow , I live in Akron Ohio. Awsome find

The best bottle dig with history lesson on RU-vid, look forward to your vids, keep em coming. Happy Holidays

Another amazing video. And here I am excited about digging my first 1940’s Milk of Magnesia bottle, thank you.

Awesome dig Tom love the inks!

OK I think the whole town just hung out at the depot!

Jake, I love the content, and you skill.

Boy, You really work hard for your porridge.

Take a brush down with yuh bro!❤

Not a bad hole at all. Hope you Thanksgiving was good.

What do you do with all the bottles? Take to recycling for the non branded/standard ones and keep a few unusual ones? Ii can image a few could be sold on ebay or the like?

hello

Can anyone enlighten me as to what the point of this is? I have watched many and for some reason it is intriguing but seriously, is this just for curiosity sake or do you collect bottles? Sell them? Is this a university project? Do tell

These videos are amazing. Do yall sell the bottles? Would be cool to see photos of them cleaned up

This was an awesome find. I sometime wonder if your ever gonna come across a missing person in one of these pits. I mean I wouldn’t put it past anyone to dump someone in a pit and covering up.

I just absolutely love your channel!....I swear as a Surveyor...it just hits home with me...the maps...the history...and I find stuff by accident...not delving deep like you!..Rock on!!

I've viewed a big chunk of your videos and find them engrossing. Thank you. I think it would be great to compile your finds in a database and cross reference location, suspected age, known info on inhabitants, businesses, categories and condition of finds, etc. You could do this retrospectively using your videos and then prospectively. I'm impressed not only with the number of alcohol-related bottles, but also the proportion of patent medicines, extracts, pill containers, and general apothecary containers. I find the amount of opioid and opioid-alcohol remedies noteworthy, despite my existing knowledge about them. You could partner with a university researcher (pharmacy program, addiction medicine residency, public health, anthropology department, etc.) to study these data. A grad student in need of a thesis topic/job could perform much of the work. There's a story to be told and interpreted. I'm sure there is a state historical society, that might be a first step.

Really enjoying your channel - just found it this week. Props as well to the cameraman/filming (sound is great too), and appreciate that you give us a good look at what you pull out. The explanations on the spot are great, and the post-production info and historical adverts are a treat. Perhaps you have a video of this already, but would love a sort of history tutorial of bottle styles and any other info - even about privies, lol.

I always look forward to the next digging adventure. Definitely a well produced and thought out channel. What a diversified dig, and the master inks are awesome.

I really appreciate how you strive to provide details on the items that you find. On another note, I have some relatives in the far NE corner of South Dakota and there are certainly a few old town sites around there that- if I were younger- I would venture out and probe.

It is so cool watching you make these discoveries and your knowledge of the bottles is very impressive. Would still love to see a video of you doing your research then scoping a site. Keep up the good work!

Those master inks are beautiful! I'm blown away, I'm not even halfway through the video and I'm already impressed

I’m so fascinated by what you do and how you find these pits

Wow, what an amazing haul! Thanks for taking me along

I beg of you please, do not take offense to what I am going to say. When I can’t sleep at night, I truly turn to you, to help me sleep. I truly love the pace you run at. I really wish to dig a privy. And,,, I always come back to finish the video. Thank you, for the coolest videos, of history.

I enjoy your channel very much! Would you consider doing an informational video? To explain things like the different layers and what they mean and how they are formed, different bottle types and how they were made and how you can tell what you have. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

I love the bottle from Paducah, Kentucky! That’s where I’m from.👍🏻

Have you thought about doing a video to explain the bottle manufacturing terms you use? That plus when those methods were used would be interesting. Machine made, turn mold, applied lip, tooled lip, etc. Love the videos! Thanks.

Wow!!! All of that in one big out house hole? Did you need to add more dirt to full in the hole?? Also do the hole you dig stink? Glad there isn't smell a vision! Very fun to watch your videos plus read about what you find the age and where it come from. Keep digging & I'll be watching, what fun and wishing I'm there help you, Stay safe from a friend in PA.

6:00 sharp & dohme bottle which held extracts and fluid extracts. The line had hundreds of medicinal plants like buchu, Jamaican ginger, and senna.

Did these folks back in the day think all this glass was just gonna disolve away ?Great video, enjoy being invited along on your adventures

Really appreciate all the old advertising images and history you post along with the finds.

I'm starting to think ol doc Peter's may have been habit forming 😆

Tiny brown bottle may have held typewriter ribbon ink or oil. The one I have has a paper label and looks identical to yours

Great hall, lots of digging! So what do you do with all the bottles you find? There must be a market for them or you would not be continuing to do this. As a guy that does metal detecting I get that some of it is all about the actual search to first find the place and then the actual dig but then what?

Nice one guys, stay lucky . England.

Great video Tom and Jake. Glad to have you in Brinsmade and happy that you were able to find so many interesting items!

I appreciate the platt map at the beginning. I was able to enlarge it & pause to get my bearings!---What is your understanding of how hard it would have been for the pharmacies to get approval to add alcohol to their preparations during Prohibition?---As a kid in the 50's, I LOVED the Hamms commercials!---Jake, are you the official ground water emptier when the bottles come up from the depths!---I only feel sadness when broken dollies are unearthed. But, I get creeped out when shoes come out...uff da.

Doctor Peter's Kuriko contained alcohol, senna, and flannel? What the heck did they mean by flannel?

Amazing variety of bottles!!!! Of course you guys are the Best! Thank you.

I have been subscribed for a couple of months now. It's strangely therapeutic watching your digs. I have so many questions though. Mainly, I imagine that you sell the items you find. Where do you sell them? You should do a video where you answer viewer questions.

Nice haul! Take care of that finger and hope it heals well. Would love to see you get into some 1860's-80's bottles sometime. Best digging channel I've seen. Thank you

Tom and Jake, exceptional bottle finds with so many variety’s and states. A lot of hard work that paid off. 👏👍😀

I can dig it 😂

How about looking for the doctor's house then?

Great finds.. 👍🏼 covington ky.. pronounced k-UH-v-ih-ng-t-uh-n .. sorry.. grammar ninja coming out in me.. lol.. never heard it said cove ington that way before..

Tak so Mycket!!!! Where's your gloves? 😲🕊️🙏 Glad you put them on!!!!🤓

This was a great video, great bottles found. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving with your family. Have a great night.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What do you do with all your treasures?😊

There's a channel called mudlarking ...I bet if their fans saw you... they would jump on board...I'll try to get that going!

Great video. I think considering the age and previous contents of the bottles found, there is a strong evidence someone from the people who lived in the depot had a drinking problem and was possibly among the people who switched to Dr. Peter Fahrney’s medicine after the Prohibition started.

Jackpot Pit - wow - all those Bottles and some Rare ones ! We love the little Doll as well and also an Early Light Bulb ! Three Intact Inks - Lucky You ! Great Video and take care of that Bleeding Finger ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!

what an exciting dig....everywhere you looked there was bottles....great dig.

Very interesting digs! How many jars, bottles and jugs we mindlessly smashed sometime back in the last millennium. Disgrace....no appreciation then.

I am appreciative of the details you provide on the items you find. It adds so much to your channel.

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Those must have been some sh*tty boots!!! Pardon my 2/3rds of a pun!!! Lol😅

I so adore your Mason jars - colours amazing. Loving all of these, second time round, I don’t care - it is a subject I did not know I really needed to know about. Thanks x

Tom, when you talk about tooled top and machine made or added top, what do you mean? What are the indications of those and how can one tell the difference? Sorry if this has been discussed before. I’m relatively new (two months) but have gone back and watched a years worth of your videos. I’ve not heard you explain this and I’m curious. Happy Thanksgiving!

Doc Peters was the local pain med prescriber. It was probably all cocaine, and or, morphine and alcohol. Keep 'em coming back.

Some good digging there Tom. I am surprised you don't find any stockings/socks in those holes. You find everything else though. lol Happy digging and have a great day

Happy Thanksgiving pray u had a wonderful day am sure u did . Bless u n ur Family's n Friends n animals n Loved One's .... 😇

Awesome content as always. I’ve been having trouble getting permissions. Any tips?

Almost every drugstore bottle you pulled had embossing. Awesome.

Great channel. I just discovered it. Perhaps I missed this in a previous video, but how do you know exactly where to dig to find so many items in a small place. It can't be by chance.

Just found your channel, very interesting. Could you perhaps give a little more info about your finds. I see the printed in you add and that’s great, but maybe explain (if you haven’t already) tooled top,

that Fleashman bottle from Cincinnati, Ohio... in the later years it became the Fleashman yeast company. one of my friends is married to one of the Fleashman girls..lots of $$$$ .. Spelling of the company may not be correct.. I was an Electric inspector in Cincinnati and inspected the conduits that were put in the ground and have a nice collection of bottles from an old cannery. Cool digging.

It would be so cool if ya found a whiskey bottle unopened from the 1800's !! That some drunk dude threw in the poopy hole by accident!!! It's out there bro

You must really do your homework. I’ve dug up a lot of metal from the logging camps I’ve found but only a few bottles and one ceramic coffee cup pretty cool. You must have a hell of a bottle collection. Like your videos.

Hi I'm guessing there were not alot of people living in North Dakota prior to 1915 1920 what are your thoughts or facts

19:48 I am guessing fennel, not flannel in the laxative remedy...as you can tell, I read and appreciate the info you put up!

Nice video hope you have a blue Christmas video coming up good luck!!!

Very cool videos. I'd imagine papers, wood and fabrics were all mixed in. Only the glass and pottery is remaining. . The steel, leather and biodegradable items are long gone. I imagine one day our trash will be someone's treasure.

Interesting How do you know where to dig? All the puts have bottles, why? Trying to understand, was that the trash pit?

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Dr. Peter's must have made some good sh*t!!!😅

Pop's here. Could you possibly estimate the value of the glasses as you find them just a suggestion.

You make it look simple and easy when I know you do a lot of digging! Thanks for sharing! 🖖👍😁

No Coca Cola bottles - did that product not circulate that far west at the time? Thanks for posting your theme music as well!

You should get metal detecting as well, you never know maybe old coins got dropped.

What looked like small poultry bones in the pit made me wonder if they could have been from a passenger pigeon. The passenger Pigeon was a native North American bird which numbered in the billions early in the 19th century. It was hunted so heavily it was officially declared extinct when the last member of the species died in captivity at the Cincinatti Zoo in Ohio on September 1, 1914.

This was a great find. What do you do with all if this stuff? I wish you would of shown (held up) the pants. Please turn on close captioning.

Just love this site! So very interesting,and you sur,are so very knowledgeable!

I would soak those pants in water, agitating gently and keep replacing the water for as long as it takes to clear up, then dry them flat, outside.

I have one of those Mrs. Stewart Blue dye bottles with the label intact and the blue dye. No idea where it came from - I just always liked the bottle with its blue content.

You make such good videos, I often wondered if you ever got cut from the broken glass, then I saw the red on your finger.

wow! the doll, the master inks, quantity good one!😁

Looks like many people were keeping their drinking secret by drinking in the outhouse

Another awesome adventure! Thank you from Ohio

That is a lot of sewing machine oil. You use 5 or 10 drops every 6 months to a year.

Old county maps are a great place for information on old dump sites. Talk to the old timer about what use to be in that area that's not on a map. They know all the good dig sites. Just trying to get the information out of them that can be a problem.

Ive got 2 of those china dolls sitting here in my marble box. Cool video.

i have watched a bunch of your videos and have not seen you find one coke bottle

Nice haul, guys. Some bottles that I have not seen before, and I subscribe to at least 5 digger sites. The master inks are magnificent. I especially like the first one that you dug. As usual, a fine video; with Jake's information inserts and the fact that Tom has slowed down on presenting the embossed examples. Well done!

Hi Tom. You show us your treasure hunt, but do you ever tell us what you do with the bottles and stuff? Do you sell it on ebay? i would.

I wonder what you do with all those bottles. Do you save some, do you sell some? Thanks

Sorry I can't afford patreon , but love your vids.

After your done finding the artifacts what do you do with all those bottles?

14% alcohol ...youll find lots of those. Like the bottles a while ago
