- Tom Askjem excavates two privies behind where the Brass Rail hotel, saloon & restaurant once stood in Page, North Dakota. #archaeology #asmr #treasurehunting #wildwest #treasurehunting
Love these videos, so many fakes trying to get views with click bait for treasure, but you are the genuine thing. Keep up the great urban archaeology.
Hey Tom, thanks so much for sharing your digging adventures with us! I appreciate how knowledgeable you are about each piece that comes up. I can tell you've been doing this a long time. So fun to watch each piece being revealed!
Whoever does your camera work does a great job 😎
So interesting! I was just reading "The Long Winter" by Laura Ingalls Wilder, last night and noticed a reference to an ironstone plate (Almanzo was making pancakes and serving them). Seeing the artifacts you dig up makes these stories so real and personal. Thanks for filming your hard work, I hear you huffing and puffing with the effort. You're a great man!
I agree wholeheartedly. I have read Wilder's series over and over since childhood, and Tom's videos make the stories set in DeSmet and in Kansas come alive.
Tom! Soo stoked ya put a video out! Your thee goat of bottle digging bud! You rock all things! Nk.
Hi Tom , Great channel !! I love digging and finding relics. Thank you so much .
We're still with you Tom 😊 UK.
nice finds enjoyed the video keep them coming
Tom, can't wait till you dig in the Black Hills...that will be epic!!!!❤❤
Thanks for the memories. My Grandfather actually worked at Owen's in Alton. That find had me thinking of him while you worked. Thanks😊
That mason jar looked straight out of Michael's craft store. Love the color on it. So awesome
I didn’t realize beer companies made soda during prohibition. Makes sense though.
You got some nice finds, Tom! I'd like to see you find a privy from the early 1800' s. Maybe some pontiled historical flasks. That would be sweet! Good luck, brother!
Hell of a job digging those pits! Bet that wrecked ya! Good digs!!!
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 💪😎
I’d love to see videos like these from Pennsylvania. You should take a road trip!
Loved seeing the plates they looked so pretty, you worked so hard on that dig!
you're so thorough and knowledegable. I appreciate these videos a lot
Another excellent vid !! You work hard at this Tom ! Thanks for taking us on the dig with you!!
Great dig! Rk.
"Here lies Tom, 8 feet down in an outhouse pit looking for that holy grail"
Yes! Get some scaffolding for when it gets deep!
Really nice finds.your videos always so good
Great finds Tom. please be careful working in those pits. Look forward to watching your future programs. Take care 👍
Omg! That is amazing! This is the best video ever! I can't believe you found one of those! Sooooo rare!
This was fun to watch! Thanks Tom!
enjoyed every minute of this! would love a video on tips to find sites
Tom what a amazing haul. Beautiful mason bottles and awesome poison bottles. Long day for you I know your tired. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
A very tiring dig, I enjoyed it though. In your case I am very happy that we don’t have smell-a-vision! 😂
I've got an A M Smith shot glass from Page ND (was my great grandfather s)
Nice bottle haul Tom. Great history unearthed
I look forward to your videos
Thanks for watching!
I don't know how, but BTP popped up in my suggestions, and I was hooked. It's not often, but these pits that go deeper than your height makes me really nervous. I worked a few scenes involving trench collapse and they were pretty rough. Be careful man. I need more of your videos.
Quite a dig. You sounded worn out. Good stuff though!!! It would have been so interesting to have been at that restaurant and listened to what people had to say,see what they were eating. We have a pretty good idea what they were drinking, there weren't any coffee or tea cups.😅Take care out there,from Ky.😊
Nice. That was fun. Hope you're doing well. Take care. 😊
I love your videos. Thank you for introducing me the old glass bottles. I enjoy the increased knowledge of modern history you provide.
FYI sputum is pronounced spyootum.
Tom; You really dig a neat hole Nice finds, especially that little Cobalt Poison Bottle.
Nice job Tom. Very cool. ❤🙏🇺🇸
Another awesome video Tom!!
Another great adventure into smelly pits, I was a fan of the mason jar!😊
Awesome digs
Pop's here. The smell in these wet pits must be potent.
Great finds . ❤
never seen a Hamm's soda bottle. cool.
I enjoy video tom
I dig Louisville pretty extensively that coffee bottle is relatively uncommon great dig!
Great video. Love every bit of this hobby…… just my opinion…What I do is lower the legs to the canopy. Have it lower to the ground. Regardless. Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding bro. Way to dig!!
I used to dig this stuff by bushel behind my house was a old dump out by stream
Grandma loved to...bake! ;)
Lol
“This pit is absolutely loaded” ❤
Since you stated that the walls want to collapse, could be dangerous, have done this a few times before, I guess people don't need to keep telling you what you already know. But on the other hand it shows they care 😀. Great dig! On to the next pit!
Yay! Up to 5,000!
We are patiently waiting you next video Tom!! Saturday, August 3, 2024. 2:09 Eastern time.
Yay Tom..your videos are awesome
Thanks!
I remember my grandmother tossing all her stuff over the fence. And my great grandmother at the creek bank. Wish i had legs and knees to dig it out. We are restoring the old homeplace that was a 2 story log cabin they added onto in the 1920s. Cabin built by pioneers in 1796. I know there's bound to be some old pits....😍 Itching to metal detect that ground. Love all your videos. But i have a question...can you get sick from digging in old out house holes? 🤔
loved the finds, just wish there wasn't so much mud! Mud bottles 😊
Hammond also made cheese during prohibition
The brass rail was the footrest at the bar. Haven't seen a bar having this feature in years. Last one I remember was in Jacob Wirth's bar in Boston, it was opened in the 1870s. And what a 🍺 bar!
CZcams has unsubscribed me 3 times from this channel since you started it. Re-subscribed! Keep up the hunt! :-)
maybe their algorithm sensed staged videos lol
Some guy was saying about digging the Allen tavern back yard ited be neat to find things from ebenezer or secrets I wonder why a space was under chimney or if there could have been tunnels
That sounds interesting and early!
@@TomAskjem. not as early as the one from Vermont 1804 the tavern was built think ebenezer born same it’s probaably not the magical hidden societies or something with tunnels or infrastructure hidden I’m hoping if there was a cave under the side of hill and hidden rooms or something would be amazing I know it was just on side of muddy hill with a spring in basement not like the tunneled in where the water was coming from 🥱it had a behive chimney was a artifact to me show how to make a oven chimney system then it got covered over after I sold it he went on to invent torpedos or something and Allen tx was named after him to sit there and find his old
Toys or something from 1800 would be neat as I worked I found all 1900s debris and items on surface when the old beam house was demo I saved what I could
I always love your videos! You’re absolutely my favorite channel on YT, hands down. Coming from a Northeasterner, I thought you might want to know that “Chesebrough” of Vaseline fame is pronounced “cheese-bruh”! Keep up the fantastic work, can’t wait til the next 😊
Time waits for no one & it won't wait for me 🎶
Excellent! Did you dig on Shackford St, Eastport?
I did! I did a lot of digging there
Amazing dig Tom!! Do you have someone helping with recording and pulling out dirt and bottles? A behind the scenes video would be really great to watch!
It would have been very interesting to hear the count on each type of bottle. There were endless extract and med bottles.
I have a couple buddies helping with the filming/digging. I may end up doing a behind the scenes video at some point. I appreciate the input.
@@TomAskjem. please let them know they are doing a great job. Love their style!
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?
Many times and yes. I dug several root beer extract bottles a couple weeks ago that still smelled exactly like root beer.
The walls threatening to collapse must be kinda scary
Fairmount Indiana Glassworks. James Dean's hometown
❤
I keep wanting to ask why you find so many flavoring bottles. That answered my question!
Great video sir
im in louisville, ky great finds
Tom Tom Tom, I still think you need a small metal detector, what if you’re not getting the coins or even metal containers. History boy history. Love watching your videos. Love the bottles. Can we buy them?
I plan to buy a detector at some point; I haven’t had much free time to sell anything lately. I’ve been running myself ragged. The new channel is coming along g though so I can’t complain too much haha
Maybe a Garrett carrot might be your best solution for pit detecting.
I chuckled at your pronunciation of sputum (should sound like spew-tum)!---You have so many new subscribers, I suggest it's about time you demonstrate how you get up out those really deep pits!---I'm trying to picture the scene...the grocer orders lots of extract to meet the needs of his customers, who are boldly coming in, furtively coming in, to purchase his wares? I like to try and imagine history in action, & I can't quite bring that image to my mind!
I plan to start adding more types of footage now that I have full control. I’ll make sure to show that at some point. Thanks for watching!
Can you make a video showing how to probe out a pit
Tom it’s pronounced “SPEW-tum” not “Sput-tom” just fyi…thanks for another great video
Several of your descriptive titles were out of order beginning around 13:49
Hi Tom.
Hi Tom, lots of bottles, were they used to disguise the content eg liquor? So many extract bottles, just for baking? Amazing to find 3 intact plates so far down, it does make you wonder how and why, I got a bit worried as the sides caved in, its a very dodgy position to put yourself in, take care and thanks for the dig, I bet you spend hours in the shower afterward, cheers!!!👍👍💪🙏
It’s open for interpretation. The flavoring extracts were likely either used for baking or for getting drunk.
What do you do with all the unimbosed meds, extracts,and flasks you dig up that you get seemingly find 100s of? Keep, sell, recycle?
These may be donated to a local historic society. Usually if no one wants them though we throw them back
Dude I was what the he'll happened to below the plains
We shut it down due to ongoing disagreements.
You should dig road side town dumps and look for marbles
i have a postcard of the mayer co family in africa,..
What happened to "Below the Plains"? Took me a few weeks to notice your posts stopped. Then a few more weeks to ask what happened.
We shut down the channel due to ongoing disagreements.
Do u ever worry about the gases that are being released while digging ?
I’ve worn hydrogen sulphide respirators for the “sewer gas”. It’s never been essential though.
Just curious, do the pits smell? And have you ever gotten sick from digging?
He has said they smell if they are the wet one, like this one. No he has never gotten sick.
What happened to showing the Patreon supporters at the end, like myself? Some superb finds in this massive dig. I bet you were totally worn out in the end. I find it a little funny and disturbing that cobalt blue was used for the poison bottle, then later was used for Bromo. Is that a hint that Bromo was a poison? LOL
I’m not involved with the Patreon or the old channel. If the old Patreon is still going I recommend cancelling the subscription. I haven’t been able to get a hold of Jake so I don’t know what’s going on with any of it. He locked me out; that’s why I started the new channel. I’ll be starting a new Patreon as well.
@@TomAskjem. Thanks for the info. I'll go cancel my subscription.
So then the police looked into a poisoning case in town around 1915.... :)
I'm throwing my bottles in the outhouse 😊
12:06 title error
I appreciate you letting me know!
@@TomAskjem. no problem. You’re inspiring me to get permission to dig in my little 1950’s Michigan Town. 👍 Hudson, Mi. Check it out.👍😎
Excellent dig Tom !! I'm absolutely addicted to your videos and enjoy them immensely!! The knowledge you have "blows me away" to use your verbiage. As others have said I truly hate it when you say "this pit is done"
Have you had any digs in the state of Missouri? Lots of history here.
Thanks for a great dig Tom. Your voice is so soothing to listen to 😊❤
Awesome dig and video. I’m always excited when you have a new video out.
Enjoying your videos but I don't like seeing you get soaked. Smart move to get out before storms. 😊
did they ever eat hot sauce back in the day? i know they had ketchup worstershire sauce, and probably mustard, and relish and picked vegetables, but any known brands of hot sauce? they must have had salt and pepper too, but I feel bad for past generations if they didn’t have tabasco sauce!
Tobacco sauce has been sold across the US since 1870. I have never found a confirmed tobacco sauce bottle though
Bro, I love your content but the videos are too long. You don't need to show every single bottle, especially duplicates. You lose me to my ADD a lot.
It’s meant to be a documentation. Nothing more nothing less. I simply show it how it is.
Well watch for 10 minutes. You can always come back to pick up watching where you left off. I do that sometimes.
@@TomAskjem.Keep showing it all!
I like to watch the whole dig. When you refill, @TomAskjem is it hard work to get it back to how it was? Thankyou for your hard work.
Film the whole dig. I LOVE IT ALL❤ I don't have ADD
Yes, new video and auction tonight @chricdiggersinc!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
