I love it when you start with "No Way?!" as we see something really cool being revealed. I'm saying the same thing, over & over again as I watch from the Yukon... like a kindred spirit, we share a ton of social history. 🙌 Pat

Boy Tom you found some amazing bottles. Love them all. I bet your arms are really tired when your done. Love your videos

@kapok7228 8 месяцев назад

Tom, your videos are just so good. Have you ever thought about doing an instructional video series? How to research, get permissions, probing strategies, digging tools and techniques, etc. I think you could put it behind a paywall and make good money. I’d be a customer for sure. Keep up the good work.

Pit 1 = That Blue 2 Handled Jug is Amazing - what a Find - very Pretty ! Some 1880's Bottles coming to the Surface - wow - early Stuff - sadly a lot of Broken ones as well ! Pit 2 = Early Stuff and lovely small Doll Head - all those early Beers but at least 1 was Intact ! History Dug Up and Preserved - well done and many Cheers from Australia !!!!

@fleurjardin1012 11 месяцев назад

I loved the bottle with the label still intact. Imagine after more than 100 years and it is still legible with bright colors.

@BelowthePlains 11 месяцев назад

yeah i know! that thing was amazing. i had never even found that type of bottle before, so if it hadnt had the lable, i wouldnt have known what it even was. thanks for watching

@Kataya2464 11 месяцев назад

Yes! That ketchup bottle ist amazing! Love the bottle and label👍

@LazyIRanch 11 месяцев назад

I doubt that anyone cares, but König is German for "king" (as in Dr. August König's Hamburger Tropfen). The word "Tropfen means "drops", so it once contained a liquid medicine that's from the city of Hamburg. Whatcha wanna bet it contained some kind of drug that's illegal now!? 😵‍💫 Those Victorians especially loved their cocaine and opium! I have an old bottle from @ 1900 that still has a label, and it contained processed indica cannabis. I've seen other patent meds that contain sativa cannabis. Before pharmaceutical drugs, cannabis was prescribed often, and doctors were knowledgeable about how the 2 types were different and what ailments they helped. Indica was often combined with opium to induce sleep. They should have stuck with the Indica and outlawed the opiates, which can make one go to sleep forever!

Amazing Yankton Pharmacy bottles and the unique Heinz bottles. Loved the old stoneware and the pitcher. How long does it take to probe out the privies? Awesome Tom and great video footage Jake.👏👏😀👍

@revminTphresh 11 месяцев назад

@deeanderson4440 11 месяцев назад

It's amazing what you find in those pits. May I ask, what's the oldest bottle you have found?

@nickt7658 11 месяцев назад

Once again bud.. your absolutely killing it! N.t. nor cal ca

@laurelshugars2866 11 месяцев назад

That's pretty much the coolest ketchup bottle I've ever seen. Same with the mussilage bottle. Cool info on the Jamaican Ginger "jake leg" syndrome.

@karendavis7988 11 месяцев назад

Always enjoy your videos.

@francesacoy4730 10 месяцев назад

Would be interesting to make a board mounted collage of your find and show the history with each item. Could be a history project as well!😊😊😊😊

Great fines today love the ink bottles 🎉

@cecoya 11 месяцев назад

Question: what got you into digging these pits for the bottles? Have a great day

@BelowthePlains 11 месяцев назад

thanks! you have a great day as well! and Tom got into it when he was like 10 and he moved to a farm. i guess he was just out there, in his shelter belt exploring, and he found the trash dump. he started looking up some of the stuff he found online, and he started talking to some people and they told him about the outhouses, and then he managed to find his, and the rest is history. i think he found a pretty valuable bottle early on, and i suppose that was a bit of positive reinforcement. Thanks for watching!

@BelowthePlains 11 месяцев назад

we really appreciate that! someday we gotta make it out across the pond! thats like a dream of mine. i see those mudlarking videos from the UK and im just blown away at all the stuff that washes up

@cherylwhite-butler6237 11 месяцев назад

Been watching you for a while. Sure love your videos!

@RonCobb-co6dr 11 месяцев назад

Nice work kid, I know where the original city dump is for Centralia Wa. It's above ground! Looks like a gigantic briar patch and always has. Should date back to late 1800s. Me and 1 of my best friends used to do some of what you are doing except we'd run into old dump spots in a ditch or something and find bottles like what you so laboriously dig up by just moving the rusty tin cans away. 1960s we had great fun and found many old bottles. I In - Joy your show a lot. Keep Digging ! R.C.

@andrewowens9382 11 месяцев назад

Hi Tom and jake another good video really early bottles pity some were broken still some good finds anyway I hope you both had a good weekend Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧

@michaelmacpherson-wm6mh 11 месяцев назад

got to give a shout out to the camera person for not only doing great work but also having the ability to not shout out when something really cool pops up...... whoa! cool! ooohh look at that!!

@ShammyKat 11 месяцев назад

Not gonna lie, would love to meet up on a dig with you guys. I'm in NE ND up past Grand Forks. Unfortunately, I don't know of any good spots to point you guys at. Most of my collection has come from the river when I've been out fishing 😅 Anyway, love the videos. Keep doing what you guys are doing!

@dianafessenden7361 11 месяцев назад

@dirtclodmetaldetecting 11 месяцев назад

@seasparrow7427 11 месяцев назад

A good map to use is called the Sanborn Fire Maps. They tell you exactly where the privies are. That's what i use...

@BelowthePlains 11 месяцев назад

yep! thats exactly the maps we use!! we show the at the beginning, but this one was on the outskirts of town, so... im sure there was a sanborn made of it at the time, but if it still exists, its not anywhere in the state archives or anywhere online. We use that birdseye map too. those are probably even better to use, because they show the outhouses sometimes. That birdseye map we showed at the beginning of the video is the only one known. some guy found it in his basement about 20 years ago (along with some other maps) and eventually he realized that it was the only one known. so the museum ended up getting it and putting it online. if you look closely at that picture, you will see water marks, and smudges.. it wasnt in great condition, but hey.. its better than nothing! thanks for watching

@Phaota 11 месяцев назад

That's very cool information on the Drugstore Bottle at 3:03 made by the Swindell Brothers. That's my last name, said "Swin-dell", not "Swindle". Interesting to know that past family connections were in the glass bottle making business. I'll have to get one of those from eBay for my archive, if I can find any.

@wendygamble3935 11 месяцев назад

@brendagroff8478 11 месяцев назад

Wow Tom!! Great dig. I wish it went on and on. Do you ever do anything with broken stuff? Thank you.

@edwardsteve1958 10 месяцев назад

For the record, Chicago’s prohibition of ketchup on hot dogs stems from the fact that all-beef Vienna style hot dogs already have a very sweet flavor, which ketchup ruins.

@rodrickadams5639 11 месяцев назад

I was wondering about the beer bottles and how many was broken from target practice out behind the outhouse..

@marciclark8266 11 месяцев назад

@joycegraves9894 11 месяцев назад

After you find all this. What do you do with the bottles?

@shawns.williams8705 11 месяцев назад

Yes. I've wondered that too. It would be cool to see them all cleaned up and displayed.

@MarciaShackelford-st5bt 6 месяцев назад

Loved this in spite of all the broken stuff! Very interesting finds. Noticed tou have a bum wrist. I can imagine all that digging is hard on the joints (69 year old former firewood chopper and wood hauler here). Or did you hurt it in a bar room brawl 😀 ?

@conken5623 11 месяцев назад

I wish u would save the pieces of dishes so someone can glue them back together. Maybe send them to one of your patrons?

@kathleenduff2750 11 месяцев назад

I think glass is the way to go. Unlike plastic.

@susanhaggart3675 11 месяцев назад

What do you do with all your finds? Do you display or sell or put in museums?

@markmixer4177 10 месяцев назад

Is it possible that you’re digging into a copper lite ( an old outhouse ) where you did your business and also disposed of the trash ? Very interesting stuff though

@hlaokaboutfightiganimalstun 11 месяцев назад

အထူးကျေးဇူးပါ..❤❤😊😊😊..။။

@agyos 10 месяцев назад

This was very interesting, but a bit excruciating to watch, as the digging process was so rough, and a few of the pieces were actually broken by the person doing the excavating…ouch! Nonetheless, amazing finds. Thank you!

@chrisanderson9856 11 месяцев назад

Have you ever taken those bottles with broken tops and cut them down to be used as flower vases or drinking glasses?

@staylor5687 11 месяцев назад

At 13:16 there is some strange white bug that pops in and out on the right side of the screen in that small dug-out area. At one point it drops to the ground but it happens when the camera is out of focus for a close-up of a bottle. WHAT IS THAT BUG?!?! It's not shaped like anything I've ever seen in my 67 years of life!

@653j521 11 месяцев назад

@paulmusgrave3387 6 месяцев назад

Pop's here. How often do have to expand your hole, once you start digging?

@Elysian777 11 месяцев назад

We bought an 1880 QA on 1/2 acre built by a Northwest Territories explorer and founder. How do we find the outhouse location? It is late on the Sanborn maps because it was outside city limits till around 1905. The hill and area around it was just given the builders last name until then.
