Please join me and friends as we enter and excavate a massive bottle dump inside of this awesome cave. Not only did we discover and recover loads of bottles, but we also stumbled upon an incredible collection of bones and teeth from all sorts of creatures.

What a cool cave. It would be really cool if the owners would let you clear that whole thing out. Great little cave to have on your property!

@gkess7106 3 года назад

Since the ceiling has been washed and sculpted by flowing water, I’ll bet the bottom of the cave looks similar. That means you aren’t near the floor of the cave yet! Keep digging!

@mysticmike9778 4 года назад

The bottle with the blue residue in it could be a bottle of bluing which was used for laundry whitening.

@leebrewer1190 4 года назад

The "dyed" bottles had bluing added to make them look blue as decorations. My Grandmother, born in 1913, still did this into the 1990s (with Rawleigh bottles) and told me it was common practice in her day. In latter years she used food coloring instead of bluing

@lindanwfirefighter4973 4 года назад

As a firefighter we still have to go into those old fuse panels and check each one after a structure fire to see if the owner stuck a penny in them. People still do it to this day. Problem is if there is a surge it will not blow and will cause a structure fire. If we find it the insurance will not pay.

@mollyhollypollydolly8760 4 года назад

@billhoffman9234 4 года назад

As mentioned in a previous comment, the corrugated sheet metal looks like the wear surface of an old wash board. I can remember my Mom using them to help clean some of our more heavily soiled clothes when I was a small child back in the 1960’s

@thegodsme2155 4 года назад

The blue bottles are from the Emerson Drug Company, and the product contained therein was Bromo-Seltzer. The name "Bromo-Seltzer" came from one of the original components of the formula, sodium bromide. The formula also contained acetaminophen, sodium bicarbonate, and citric acid, and in earlier formulas, acetanilide. Those particular bottles are from between 1911 and 1930, give or take a few years. It was used to aid heartburn, and due to the sedative effects of the sodium bromide, as a cure for hangovers. Very cool find Chigg, maybe someday I'll get to team up with ya!

@d.b.cooper3956 3 года назад

That copper and wood you found is from a wooden wash board. Maid-Rite brand if I'm correct. You can verify the pattern stamped into the metal on EBAY with ones for sale. As you know in the plating process copper is usually used as the first layer to the virgin material. The outer layer...whatever it was was used to not allow staining or rust onto the clothing with the board constantly exposed to water and whatever type of detergent was used.

Blue glass bottles are VERY collectible. So much so, that people create fakes to sell by dyeing plain glass ones. (A simple wash and scrub reveals fakes, however). Would love a couple of this kind to add to my collection!

The rippley metal attached to a board looks like a part of an old wash board they washed clothes on back in the good old days. The kind of flat shaped jar bigger at the top tapered looks like the one back in the 50s that pickled pigs feet came in. Love digging wish I could be there digging too. I enjoy your videos on everything.

@millerinthemountains769 4 года назад

That shot glass or "drinking glass" you picked up is a jar for jam or anything that would come on a jar and when the buyer was finished with the product, they could use it as a drinking glass. I believe those are from the great depression era! HH&GL!!! CHIGGGGS ARMMMMMYYYY!!!!!

Good morning x I've heard those blue,bottles contained pharmaceutical preparations, even poison. Lol happy huntin

@johnswoboda9809 3 года назад

You're partially correct, as that style of bottle with a wide mouth and no neck was often used for things like salves, ointments, and creams which could be prepared by a pharmacy but the blue glass was most common for commercially manufactured products. Medicine bottles tended to be dark brown glass, and anything potentially dangerous - poisons, acids, etc. - usually came in small brown glass bottles with narrow necks, similar to the little patent medicine bottles he finds.

@sonofeloah 4 года назад

Amazing! I would love to have a bunch of those blue bottles to get tops for and use to store medicinal herbs and the brown ones for tinctures.

@MeagainIA2011 3 года назад

seems like an odd place to dump stuff. At the beginning I thought it looked like a fire pit, but the ceiling of the 'cave' was green. Just seems a bit 'eccentric' action to dump one's trash in a cave entrance like that...... speaking of eccentricities, I DO love a bottle dump! There's a mother and daughter team in England that collect sea glass and pieces of broken, colored glass. They make homemade beads out of them. Quite fascinating, labor intensive for my liking. Love a good mystery too.

There’s a marsh behind CoOp city in NYC, believe it or not, that has even older bottles from City Island, NYC, New Rochelle etc. Used to be the dump for all over. All kinds of stuff. Quart sized blue bottles , ceramics, silverware and countless medical bottles from City Island that was a main medical hub long ago. Still packed with stuff because no one knows. Got a couple of hundred but then got bored.

Apparently, Foley & Co made medicinal compounds. The blue bottle might have been from their popular "Honey & Tar Compound" which was for colds and used for pain relief. They were around from the 1870s to the 1920s.

The corrugated metal sheet over a wooden board would probably be an old style washboard. Much favoured by skiffle bands in the 1950s. When played with a handful of thimbles, and accompanied by a single string base made from a box and a broomhandle. Until replaced by Rock & Roll in the UK.

The corrugated blue tin is a scrubbing board. Some were very large for the washing on Monday, and some small for sink washing inside the house for womens unmensbles. I still have one and the best ones were of glass made the same way. They were set in wood with a large lye soap holder so that when you scrubbed the clothing you would use the soap to get the worst stains out of the clothing. Brenda

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family! Awesome cave! luv the old bottles, i love the amber and various blue ones, especially the old perfume one, would love to have those in a collections, one of each of those actually . Nice still shots of the finds! Be careful with all that old dust! Too bad you didn't find any whole crocks in there but I guess i wouln't expect there to be any. seeing the cave struckture i'd say that looks like it could go down quite a ways once it was cleared of everything. It might be a good idea if the owner could be talked into letting you clear it and excavate it, might even add the point could be of historical value and be marked on record cave sites, (sorry forgot organization that does that). I'd sure watch that! if you do get the chance to clear it. :) Awesome video as always!

@arkansasmountainman 4 года назад

Someone said the liquid in the bottle might be bluing used to whiten clothes. The copper looking wavy material looks like the scrubbing part of an old scrub board. The expensive ones had glass scrub boards but the less expensive ones had copper scrub boards that were supported underneath by a thin board. The ones I've seen have rails around them and a wooden tray at the top end to hold the soap. BTW You should be wearing at least a dusk mask, no telling what you are stirring up in a very small enclosed area. Animal remains, chemicals from items as well as chemicals that are naturally in the soil itself, etc. Be safe!

The blue bottles were Bromo Seltzer bottles patented by parent company Emerson Drug Company of Baltimore, and made by Emerson's sister company Maryland Glass Company in the Westport section of Baltimore. The glass color was patented by Emerson as "Emerson Cobalt Blue". Original Bromo Seltzer bottles were green. The Maryland Glass Company was demolished around 2014.
