hell yeah, brother!
Once I saw that you posted a new video, I stopped cleaning the kitchen and sat down to watch you find a few treasures of history. 💪😎
I have a question do you sift all the dirt for small things like buttons and coins and other little things that you might not catch with a shovel before you put the dirt back in
You sell this stuff? I would have a spray bottle to get some of the dirt off and highlight the colors and embossing.
Can I buy an old mason style from you?
P.s. hey Tom? Maybe one of these times you could give us a tour of your personal bottle collection? That would be epic.
Would love to see that!
Yes sir me to !👍
He would have to have a huge warehouse 😅
Was just getting ready to clean my kitchen and oops 😬🙊....you posted a video. (The kitchen can wait. ) 😂
Love the show.
I just was at the Kilmer building in Binghamton, NY today. Building still stands. First floor is a restaurant and some retail. Dr. Kilmer's swamp root was a HUGE seller in it's day.
Love your videos. I enjoy every dig 😊
Around 16:40 or so, I was glad to see you notate the year 1850 and how long it took to sew a shirt by hand. I read that before the sewing machine was widely available for purchase, women and girls had to stay home during the daylight hours in order to sew all the clothing their family needed to wear. Daylight was the brightest light for sewing. When sewing machines cut the time to sew down drastically, women were left with more available time.
A new culture came to be, and families looked to spend leisure time away from home. Stores and shops caught on to this, and began to display items for sale in their front window. This led to larger windowed storefronts, the phrase 'window shopping', and eventually the plate glass window was invented in order to entice the eyes of shoppers when the store was closed.
Being a collector of Victorian era antiques when ever you dig up pieces of China or porcelain I can almost feel the sadness of the lady of the house when one of her treasures got broken.
Old lilac bushes are a good sign of old outhouse pits. They were commonly planted next to the privy. I love all the research you do on the artifacts, the companies that made them or sold them.
As soon as you said "cereal milk" I knew what that was about. To get babies used to whole foods, they would put cereal, usually cream of wheat, in the milk. It would sit on their stomachs a little longer than liquid milk and they would cry a little less often. After a month or two of that, they would graduate up to pureed foods, back in that day it would be mashed and whipped with a beater. They still follow the same principle today in many areas. It appears that back then it might have also been oatmeal soaked in milk and strained. I'm not sure when they started using cream of wheat, but that's what they were using in the 1960-80s, and maybe even still today.
Well ...I've said it before and I'll say it again.. Tom? You Rock all things! I give ya props just having to dig the damn pits alone!
Thanks for watching everyone!
Thank you guys!! I have always wondered if any of the seeds out of the use layer would grow? It would be cool to see what a tomato from the 1800's would taste like (no genetic changes)
A real now a day's treasure hunter. Great stuff 🙌 thanks so much keep on keeping on🙏
nice variety in there. I like seeing the non-bottle items of pits of this age. Gives a good snapshot of what the decor inside the houses must have looked like. another great video, lots of older ones lately
I've been reading about the ingredients found in the popular maker bottles. It's amazing that people lived through the ingestion of some of the ingredients!
Gorgeous complete flow blue plate! So exciting to see what you find! Really rare and unique finds in this pit. 😍😍😁😁
I have watched other dig's on youtube, but yours is the most descriptive on the pieces. Hope to see more from you soon.
It's so neat how each pit takes you back in time.
What's the oldest thing you have found? I would love to know.
One of his videos he found an ancient hammer! I'd say that's likely the oldest item he has found!
@@elizabethbrown6681 wow! He finds some of the neatest things in those pits
Been loving watching you dig these ! My husband grew up digging outhouse pits with his parents and siblings. He is 70 years old now. Yes, we have more than a few old bottles! Coincidently, he is from North Dakota!
It's always good to see multiple pits before 1900 in a single yard, especially in your area. too bad that old one didnt have a little more inside it. when I saw that first bottle come out I thought "ok, here we go!" thanks for sharing
Wow! These were exciting digs to watch, you never knew what you were going to haul out of the dirt! Pretty cool, thanks Tom and crew!
I would be in seventh heaven if I dug up my backyard and found some awesome treasures.. I love watching your videos.. I love old bottles,, or even new ones, especially the cobalt blue ones.
Great finds. Always so interesting. Thanks for sharing.
It's an amazing feeling saving history like this! Well done.
I really enjoyed these digs and I can tell you enjoyed them too!
best treasure hunting channel, always high quality, high effort, informative, and just plain fun to watch. probably one of my favorite channels, been watching for a few months now, and i still get excited when you come out with a new video. makes me want to go out and dig one of these myself!! thanks for all your hard work
Nothing else to say but “Totally Awesome” keep up the great work!
You are so pleasant. Your show has comforted me while I am recovering from covid. I am fascinated by the finds, you are so adept, naming every find as you find it, and get excited when you find cool stuff. You are a very brave soul to dig those places up!! Thank you for your content. 😊❤
Great finds Tom. Always enjoy watching your program. Keep up the excellent work. take care 👍
Your videos make my Saturdays
Always enjoy, thanks so much.
Love to see everything after it is cleaned PLEASE!
Another outstanding video with anazing finds...Love your videos...🥰🥰
I think with the amount of bottles of sewing machine oil they were tailor/seamstress family. They sure sewed a lot. Happy digging and have a great day
Great fines today. Fines with age from the day’s of the Wild West.
Thank you.
You found some beautiful stuff this time!! That deep purple and white piece that was broken, is called Purple Slag glass. 😊
Love your videos my friend thanks for sharing 👍 😘

Tom, where do you get your energy not only to dig, but then refill the holes? So many beautiful old embossed bottles and other goodies. We love watching your adventures. Well done.😀👏👍
Gets the cameraman to fill em back up!😂😂
Always a pleasure watching you work! 😉 Some incredible stuff! ♥
Very nice
Cereal milk! I found one in a riverbank last year here in Vermont. Love the Wells Richardson advertisement, they had so many products and shipped worldwide so they are found literally anywhere and everywhere. So great to see 👍 Great video as always.
Brilliant 3 Pits - wow - some really early Stuff - nice to dig up History and bring it back to Life ! Always a great Pleasure watching You Dig ! Many Cheers from Australia !!!!
Another wonderful dig, I love history and it's so nice to see the container's that they used for storage of there foods and products, thanks for being a modern archeologist, it pleases me to see the degree at which you put your self in danger, some of the pit you dig makes me nervous because of the cave in that is a possibility but so far so good but we were lucky with explosions. Keep up the good exploration and making these wonderful videos. Much love, you are the man. Afriend.
Great dig. Thanks for sharing.
Seems like are in an earlier part town. As always, enjoyed going along. Thank you.
Tom your videos are awesome I just love it. Some awesome bottles. Love the mason jars and that bitter one. Dont know how you dig all those pits. I bet your give out. Lol. I watch your videos always
Just love the finds, really enjoyed the digs. I have no idea about the value of old bottles but even broken pieces, like the ornate perfume, vases etc have a beauty, I find them absolutely delightful. Some awesome designs today, Thank you so much, camera work fantastic as always. could even see the crackled glaze which I love. Again Thank you.
Nice!
Most excellent digs!
Enjoy watching you dig up history
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing
Hi from England Tom and Jake! WonderfuI dig, as ever. I think that brass item may be a candle snuffer.
Always love your channel, thank you for sharing 🙏👍
I love your videos, from the intro to the end. Do with you could show a few more cleaned up items at the end though. Your set up and the way the video plays is perfect, thanks for all your work and the time to edit the videos.
So exciting to see your digs. Great video. Would love to see you put some of the plates and cups together if majority of the pieces are found. ❤
He has on his Facebook page.
What is his Facebook page called?
@@annaoberhauser3383 just Tom's name , type in below the plains you will see it.
Your channel is so interesting 🙂
Gramps always comes back from the outhouse with a big smile on his face.
Well, binge watching your videos has finally gotten into my subconscious. I had a dream last night that I took a shovel down to the Villa Montezuma (Jesse Shepard house) to dig up the outhouse. The house was built in 1887. Presently it is a museum and I bet they dug the pit 50 years ago.😊 I really love your videos.❤
Loving the history of it all.
Awesome finds!
Love your videos. The style, quietness of your shooting, very well done. Do you have a link to see what the bottles look like all cleaned up and do you sell them? I assume you do
Love these put that are pre-1900’s. Seems lately like the pits just after 1900, have more variety in them
Well Tom and jake your spoiling us another episode I'm always looking forward to watching your videos some early bottles in them pits it seems strange when you find British China ware because I recognised the makers stamps with the royal approval coat of arms can't wait for the next video all the best Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧
A lot of times i found lilacs or jasmine planted near the privies
The plate is Alfred Meakin Tea Leaf. Thanks for showing the dinnerware/ironstone😊
Fire age!
Lots of good finds, alot of work to get those! Just subscribed!
wow some of those pottery items were pretty cool. That two colored pitcher was something else. If it hadn't been chipped I would have thrown down a few bills for that thing!
Love your videos. I have to know ... do you have help digging those pits?! Granted your ground isn't hard or rocky but man you are in good shape.
My mom and all of us children would gather up grandpas quart beer bottles and make our own root beer with that Hires root beer extract. It was made with yeast and it was absolutely the best root beer ever!!!
Hey guys, I really enjoy watching your videos. It is exciting to see what you will dig up next. Have you ever dug up anything really valuable, like coins or gold and silver items? I know some of those old bottles are worth a lot of money. It would be really interesting if there was some way you could post the ballpark value of some of the more valuable items you find. I know there are a lot of variables that make the price fluctuate, but to me it would sure add to the fun of watching what you dig up!
Would love to see a video of the bottles all cleaned up afterwards, if that’s what to do with them?
If amazed by what you find!
man, that town seems to have a bunch of different types of drugstore bottles. also seems like those excelsior drugstore ones are everywhere. you must have a stack of them
Love watching what comes up and out from the 1880s. I don't want to sound rude or anything, but faux is not pronounced fox. It is french and has a hard o sound...like open ...fo... not your enemy, but your foe. 😁 I know how you like the bottles, but I love seeing the glass table ware. TY
Digging in old out houses, I keep waiting for you to come across Great Great Grandfather's wallet. or Jimmy Hoffa. ...I like watching you dig.
Two dig videos in one week! I can't get off of CZcams!
Cool beans.
Wow, now those are old
Great dig! The number of sewing machine oil bottles might suggest that the household was doing sewing to supplement their income. Then again, old treadle machines likely needed a lot of oil compared to modern machines. And the hand lamp was possibly dropped during a night-time visit to the privy.
Pop's here. Would you ever think about a bottle clean up video?
Id like to try some swamp root.
