    Only a couple more months left of digging to find that human skeleton I predicted for 2024. lol. I guess this prediction is going to go down as "fail" and then I re-up that prediction in 2025. lol.

    I feel like the content would be there for a second channel where you clean up the funds from each dig. It would be facinating to see the process and further insights that are revealed. ❤

    Have you ever thought of bringing a "camping shower" along with you while traveling? Just to help you rinse off & clean up a little b4 getting in your car! Lol 😅

  • @bhollars3214
    @bhollars3214 Před 3 dny

    Just curious, have you ever opened one of the bottles that still has its original contents? Like the extract bottles? Do they still have the smell?

    • @TomAskjem.
      @TomAskjem. Před 3 dny

      Many times and yes. I dug several root beer extract bottles a couple weeks ago that still smelled exactly like root beer.

    Great video! And Congratulations on the "only known" example. Very, very cool. I've learned so much about my own collection that I inherited from my dad. His were mostly river bottom finds and finds when out mushroom hunting. Thanks for teaching us along the way...👍✌️

    Tom I still say you need to get a small mud pump so when you run in to ground water alls you have to do is pump the water out and just keep digging.

    • @TomAskjem.
      @TomAskjem. Před 3 dny

      I’ve tried with smaller pumps, even a pacer semi-trash pump and they all clogged very quickly with mud. It would have to be a very powerful pump which I would consider at some point but would have to get a bigger vehicle to haul it around.

    I grew up digging on the iron range of Minnesota... Logging camps were a score and finding turn of the century dumps close to cemeteries was common. Venture north "History in a bottle" Showed my famous Aurora seltzer 💪😎

    Very curious Tom why you do not wear some kind of rubber gloves and waders when you see water like this. It is a mess and I would think very frustrating.

    • @TomAskjem.
      @TomAskjem. Před 5 dny

      I sometimes do but it seems by the time I realize the pit is in the water table and is going to be worth digging, I’m already covered in mud.

    I watched an archeology team in Northern England dig up a very wet area right in an old town. They found intact leather shoes, clothing, organic materials from the Viking age. Even a braid of a girl's hair. Water definitely preserves.

    What do you do with your bottles you find collect them all or sell some?

    • @TomAskjem.
      @TomAskjem. Před 5 dny

      Some are kept, sold, given to the property owner and donated to museums. If no one is interested they’re thrown back

    Nice!! Redemption with the wine bottle. You all need to get you a good sump pump. We don't mind if you don't finish them. We could always see the second part next week. It won't hurt our feelings. I don't know. I don't think it was done. But I don't blame you for ending it. Great day. Hope you're doing well. Take care.😊

    • @TomAskjem.
      @TomAskjem. Před 5 dny

      We ended up abandoning it being the age didn’t get much better. If it had dropped into Dakota Territory era we would have spent a week out there if needed.

      @@TomAskjem. completely understandable. It's hard for me to get used to early 1900s stuff. But it's as old as the stuff we were digging in the 60s. I mean at that time. I wasn't doubting you. Thank you for your response. See you next week.
