    You need to make a video with Clayton and some of his rare bottles and talk about them and give information on them. You can also do one on yours ,Randy's and the rest of the alabama bottle mafia

    Digging with your dad!? Such an AWESOME memory. I'll forever cherish the memories of digging with my mama, she can't do it anymore but when I was a kid we went arrow head hunting all the time, were in Hot Springs AR, there used used be so many awesome places for artifacts until the city started growing.... I'm sure there is still many undiscovered places tho... And as I grew older, she introduced me to bottle digging. LOVE IT! Keep the awesome content coming man 👌

    Do ya'll ever cut out the embossed sides from the broken bottles to use on a collage picture or on a table top and pour resin over or maybe inset on the front of a journal or little jewelry/wooden chest? I like those raised letters and reading the company names, the lotions and Dr./medicine names, maybe there are others like me. . . 😆 Earlier today me and Lamar, my better half, went walking the creek and found a bit of milk glass and a pretty piece of pale aqua glass. Ya'll have given us so many ideas to use every bit, put them in Mason jars or make a bracelet:)! We also found a heavily fossil covered rock and later while mowing the catch basin I found a piece of an old blue Blount Springs Water Bottle and it has "water" on it. I like a weathered bottle, too (maybe the glasses). Different colors to root my African violet leaves in! Because ya'll do "what is this metal" we've been looking at metal, too! LOL. We found an old 3" steel ring today. Lamar thinks it held the neck piece on cows for plowing? I found a little flat flask, a sort-of old coke bottle, a small old white glass makeup container, a few thick pottery pieces, a few really thick blue glass dinnerware pieces, China bits and a tiny brown medicine bottle. The pieces could become door knobs, buttons, night lights, glass "crystals" for lighting? Thank you guys for the inspiration and fun.

    At 3:30 you mention "Alexander City" on the bottom of a Coke bottle.. That's where I am right now(!), 30 mins. from home @ Kowaliga/Lake Martin.
    I just found you channel & subbed. I love old bottles for the stories they tell..colored glass especially.
    The Tallapoosa River area is where I do most of my exploring/hunting, using stand-up paddleboard to access old dump sites where flotsam has accumulated for 100+ years. Fun stuff, bottles, old fishing lures...near Tallassee.

    Brandon, I've been watching you for a while now, even saw you on The Old Byrd Farm episode. Finally became a subscriber. Just wondering, How do you research where you will be digging. That looks like such a cool hobby. I live in Michigan, and to me, its just a concrete jungle. I do have a place north that's in a more rural setting. Just wondering. Thanks for all of your adventures, especially ones where you take your Dad.

    • @Buddystemz
      @Buddystemz Před 2 lety +1

      One place you can check are rivers and streams. Most cities are built around water. Back in the old days they tossed their garbage in the rivers, over the edge of a ravine or old un usable land. Do some research at your local library or historian and see if you can find where the old city/town dumps are.

    • @adventurearchaeology
      @adventurearchaeology  Před rokem

      Most of what we know has been passed down from other diggers verbally. It’s very important to attend local shows and learn what you can from the guys who no longer dig but are a wealth of knowledge on the items.

    Your dad finding that straight-side Coke reminded me of a question I had. How often do you find both, or all, pieces of a valuable bottle to glue together for your collection? Seems like if the neck breaks, it would still be in place in the dirt in front of it. Anyway, thanks for the video❤️
