If you ever consider starting a merch line, shirts that read "This Pit is Loaded!" would definitely reflect the spirit of not only the channel, but your enthusiasm as well.
or a Tee that states My Pants Are Loaded 😄
Or "This is the Holy Grail of bottles"!
You definitely have to have “now that’s really something”!
😂
Great idea!
I never get tired of warching your videos. When i was a boy, i used to live in an old town that had boomed back in the early 1900s and then died off. There were about 15 houses left spread apart and a lot of history buried in the grown. I used to dig and find old antique items and learn about the past. Now im older, and my health has kept me from doing stuff like that anymore. I live through your videos and love how you explain what everything is that you find. I appreciate how your videos are not full of cursing and are very family friendly because I send the videos to my father. Anyway. Thanks for all you do, and i just wanted you to know how much you are appreciated.
AMEN brother! 🙏🙏🙏
I think it’s your enthusiasm as you pull each item from the night soil that keeps me hooked!
My Sunday is complete!
While doing some excavating and levelling we found an old cistern from the original log cabin on our property. The old folks used the cistern as a dump when they moved to the new house. We found lots of small bottles from around 1900 as well as large brandy bottles exactly like the ones you dug in this video and lots of broken china. Also some rusted pieces of farm equipment and a hand pump from the cistern. We were very excited with our find.
The label art would look good on shirts if you decide to supplement your budget with t-shirts, hats, mugs, and stickers/mouse pad. Old(looking) magnets would sell like crazy! Hope the idea comes to fruition and helps with funding the adventure! (I'm sure you guys have thought of it or heard of it before, but using bottle label art would look awesome!)
Wow what a beautiful haul of beautiful bottles Tom. Your so lucky to get a chance to dig those awesome bottles. I would love too. Just love them ❤❤❤❤
P
I love those Bitters Bottles! I've only dug fragments of them. Charley Ross Bottle is awesome. Nice job Tom 👍
That sewing machine pedal I would love to own!! Excellent video Tom, thank you.
I am always impressed by how much you find that came from Ohio. It helps to illustrate how industrial production followed settlement and supported new settlement. If you dig the oldest pits on the east coast, you would find stuff from England. If you dig the oldest pits in western PA and Ohio, you will find stuff made on the east coast. As you dig the oldest pits in the upper midwest, you find stuff made in Ohio, etc....
The fine tooth combs were lice combs. Depending on which side you used you caught the bug or the eggs. They still get made exactly like that.
This show is good medicine. ❤
haha thank you!!
Yes what a brilliant dig that was - I loved the water jug, so pretty. Thanks for this x
Great program Tom, super finds. Stay safe and best of luck to you. 👍
Great finds Tom, never miss one of your digs😅😅😅😅
Yes! Another adventure. Thanks
About that bottle at 2:25, 604 Front street is still there, an old building that is now a coffee shop in Fargo ND.
Yet another great video !
Lots of great finds 😊
Thank you for sharing with us 😁
So very cool!! Love watching your videos, they always have me transfixed! Thanks 😊 💙💙💙
Love them all every dig is enjoyed by us.
Really interesting. Great vid. You sure know your stuff.
My laptop went to the ER, and I have not gotten it back yet. She is still on IV fluids and Dilaud for pain! Can't wait to get it back. This isn't easy on a phone. YOU ROCK TOM!!! 😎
Good job describing all you find. You must have a large collection. May God bless
Would love to see what the items look like after you have cleaned them up😊
if you watch to the very end of the video he shows some all cleaned up.
Tom, I love your videos. You are addictive! Have you ever thought of digging behind a barber's shop? I bet there would be some goodies there, too.
I’m not even halfway through.. what wonderful finds!! I got to keep watching.. thank you
This looks like so much fun...I wish I could do this...I'm 83 can't do it now darn it LOL😅😅😅😅😅❤❤❤
The Missing child toiletry bottle is among your greatest finds IMHO! Outstanding!
So excited about this video loved every minute of it congratulations on the finds can’t wait for another video 😊❤
I was using my grandparents open privvy for years as a kid. Stone built/stone slated outhouse , open to the elements at the back. A small wooden hole for us kids & a larger wooden seat for adults. This was the early '70's in the uk , in what was the real country. J&G Meakins mid century designs are the moneymakers here.
Great finds .
Love the channel :)
How do you look at thr land and decide where treasures my hide? I've got a few acres that used to be part of a large estate and plant nursery. I t s said that a previous owner had buried money on the property. The front if the land seems rippled as though it was once plowed. So we put a garden up front. We took a metal detector and found a copper rod that looked as though it were a marker, and also a small copper know. No ideaxwhat it was for. Before my purchase, it had been a dumping ground also used for hunting. The middle section is flat and then slopes downhill ending in a dry pond. It once held water and the p.ots were flooded until the government diverted the c water flow. But most of the flat levels are rippled, with a few mysterious holes , dips or sink holes. What would I look for to find treasure? There are strategically placed oak and pecan trees. Plus one spot with an oak stump, trash and evidence of a burn pit. Any info would be appreciated.
Look for a depression &/or a mound in the field.
I’d give a part of my anatomy to go on a dig with you. Been collecting bottles for more than five decades, but lately have run outta good spots to dig.
Love your content.
Fantastic video,love the picnic flask,& the nurser & well I loved all the bottles!
Glad to see some new digs! Thanks guys! Keep'em coming!
Awesome digs, Tom & Jake! It's cool to find old bottles, but it's just as cool to find all the other items as well!
Another fine dig, a lot of suprise bottles with good age. You, young men do a very good job of finding and explaining, thanks for all your precise knowledge on your fines, every time you get a real good find your voice rases and it get a little gitty, so inturn I get the same felling. Thanks for all your te and energy, it's a pleasure watching you explore. Be safe, much love. Afriend.
Sometimes i get so involved in watching i forget to Smash that like button.!
Awesome finds! Like everyone, I love the unusual items! It's nice that you get the history behind some of the items and pass it on to viewers! One of the many reasons I keep returning to your channel!❤

Very good dig bile bean bottle my favorite
I’m always amazed when things come out in tact..

Great finds

I would love to see your collection I bet it's mind blowing
Tom- what do you do with the thousands of bottles you find?? Thanks!!
Right, trying to find the same w no luck, i Kno Tom has atleast one book written again no luck w that yet but I'll keep u posted if i have an answer. 🤞🏻🍀
he sells some of them.
Man you found some crazy good bottles there!!! Congrats!! Great video fellas!!!
Love the multiple digging holes and of course the old pits are the best. Keep them coming Tom also can you tell us if you sell any of your finds and what sites do you sell? thanks and take care out there!
The butter pat dish could have also been an ashtray. They were used as a single use, before the waiter or waitress took it away.
This was an awesome dig, I think the quart whiskey bottle was amazing. But actually there were several amazing pieces! Have a great week!
I would love to see your bottle collection
It is a thrill when you unearth a never seen type of bottle, any several in these pits. And the "medicines" our ancestors took for their ailments.
Great video I was having withdrawals. Every time Tom says " This pit is done " I think noooo keep digging. lol
I'd have loved to have that old treadle for yard art!---
The bile pills and the missing child perfume bottle were great to see.
What great finds...and a hutch...yeehaa...so enjoy the videos...🥰🥰
It doesn't matter to me if it's not a bottle. I'm fascinated watching all the items you find in these pits.
13:40 very nice bottle.
Those little combs look exactly like the flea and tick combs at pet stores now - especially if one side is slightly finer than the other
Maybe it was for nits?
Wow i love history as well man you are lucky to have that jus to touch them it is incredible they are not broken.:) Hope you take them and make sure you preserve the items wow .Im a new sub i jus love history thank you .New friend Barbara NWP, FL
Good stuff. I always expect you to find a dropped coin. Maybe it's best to not disclose the coins.
We found quite a few of the Hostetter bitters. A little older, they were the green ones. Some amber but mostly the green. Always loved finding those. Also, the Avan Hoboken bottles. The Hobokens were harder to find but found usually the same sites. Most found in San Francisco bay area. I miss it. Nice. Thanks.
Great video! Awesome finds! I actually have that pitcher!!!😁💕 My Grandpa was born in 1902. It belonged to his mother. Story is it came in the flour sack! I also have the 2 matching glasses!!! You have the only other one I’ve seen!!!💕
What do you do with all the things you dig? You have found some great items
Great video.. nice bottle you found there.. What is the oldest bottle you've ever dug up.. Do you sell or give away bottles?You have so many of them Just asking.. Again, great videos
Some many nice looking bottles. Keep up the good work and see you in the next dig...👍🙏
he sells them
I love the bitters bottle I bought a bottle in Tifton Ga. in one of the antique mall a London England dry Gin bottle a light blue I’m sure I’ve seen you dig one
Oh wow. I grew up not far from Millville, NJ. It is known for making glass and still has a glass factory there.
Dude ….. Merch idea. T Shirts that say “This pit is loaded!!” 😄🤘
Would that be a nit comb ?..great finds, love your videos, watching from U K ..
The brown agate looked door knobs are called Bennington. You can find marbles with this glaze and they are called Bennies. Short for Bennington. I believe they were manufactured in Bennington VT.
Do you sell the little cosmetics bottles. Cool pitcher so nice to see the other stuff elides the neat bottles.
What do you do with the bottles that have contents still inside? Thanks for an awesome video!
I wish I could buy all these ironstone pieces your finding! 😭😭😭
The first comb was a side comb for a Ladies hair. The other two are "Nit combs ". That style is still available today.
I just read the Charlie Brewster Ross story. Very sad.
