- We dug almost ever day last week. Starting with a nice wood lined privy and then we actually got some help with a backhoe out at DD ridge bottle dump. It was a fantastic week, great weather, outstanding auctions, and lots of saved History. Thanks to everyone of you for your continued support.

Travis you were very patient with your son. Not all dads can be patient and still give good instructions to their children. Keep up the good work, together. Blessings
Great bottle digging video...The only thing that's stays the same is the fact that everything changes 🍀⚡
Yessir every dig is different each new spot could yield the next big discovery. Appreciate you and your continued support brother man.
Some awesome finds coming out enjoyed watching
Junior is sure learning how to dig bottles
Y'all are excited about old bottles?
Heck yeah !!!👍
Stay safe and be Blessed ☝️🙏
PS... you guys have good, loose dirt to hunt in...
Great when a person can really dig what they do...
Every digger needs a Jimmy sometimes - you guys sure deserve it - you work hard and you really know your bottles - it's like The Learning Channel!
Thanks brother really appreciate you and your continued support.
I so love you call Travis Jr. Your good luck charm!❤🍀
He is my little buddy, but absolutely despises doing his school work 😂
@@CrickDiggersInc I was the same way as a kid but loved doing stuff with my Dad. You can learn a lot more that way than in school.
Good job little man
Happy Birthday Travis Jr! Great video!
great finds
Bottles this nice don't just fall out of the sky. You guys really put the work into it.
Thx Drew brother man, appreciate you.
Love the video guys
The guns on those dudes!😳
Lucky lucky
Wow guys! Great finds!! Keep up the good work (that little man learning real history.)😊
It's so cool to see Travis get in the hole and not give up his hard earned space.He definitely has bottle fever.Just keep the camera on it !!!Thanks for all the fun.
Good bottles Bro!!🤩
FW Fitch Boone, IA hair tonic bottle (1892-1917)
Frederick Walter Fitch founded the F.W. Fitch Company in Boone, Iowa in 1892, and also owned a barbershop. Fitch's first product was a hair tonic labeled "Ideal Hair Grower and Dandruff Cure." Later products included the "Fitch scientific scalp treatment."
Fitch moved his business to Des Moines at 15th and Walnut Streets in 1917. The company did well throughout the early 20th century and during World War II but saw a decline in hair product sales after the war due to the loss of military contracts.
In 1949, Fitch sold The F.W. Fitch Company to Grove Laboratories in St. Louis.
I have been looking for a swamp root for a long time. Backhoe makes a world of difference. Nice finds
The sample whiskey broken was a bummer. That was so cute.
Some great digging
Thanks brother man appreciate you
Happy 🎂 Birthday Travis Jr.🎈 Several digs with several great bottle and marble finds!! That backhoe was a back saver 😃 Congrats on finding those bottles that you'd never found before!! Have a great week guys!!
Good to see the bottle from Portland Maine... That's where I live.... Cool
You guys amaze me how u seem disappointed when you find 1940 1950 bottles, when I find a 1940's bottle I am Stoked lol 😆
ThatMt Vernon whisky bottle was so neat! Definitely different.
Travis and Corey, sweet week of work. Y'all put in a tremendous amount of work digging for bottles which is greatly appreciated . Quite the variety of awesome bottles. It is so cool to watch you pull out the bottles that I've purchased at the auction. Heck yeah!!!
A brother man with a backhoe is a brother man indeed. Dad, just keep the camera on.😂
Some awesome digging! The FW Fitch Co. hair tonic bottle from Boone, Iowa has some gorgeous script. Beautiful Whiskeys, meds, marbles. Wow.
Happy Birthday
That moment when the backhoe guy uncovers a rare 1905 plastic Mountain Dew bottle.
And it wasn't Dr. Pepper, so Travis is off the hook.
Yep there was also some pop can mt dews 😂
@@CrickDiggersInc Philosophical question: is it possible to litter in a dump?
I don’t think so 😂
One heck of a dump
Thanks brother it is my favorite place on earth ❤️ I can’t get enough of it. But 3 big stone liners lined up for tomorrow so super excited, one is loaded with glass and the yard over was the double sheath of wheat historical 😳.
So the Coke bottle stayed a prototype because the middle was a little bigger than the bottom which made it wobble on the conveyor belt - neat - what a great find!
Thanks brother man, it was a very cool find. I love finding stuff that there is not much to go on. Thanks for your continued support brother.
Nice glass and marbles guys!!👍👍 cane is cool!!
Tc and happy hunting my friends
Happy Birthday to Trav Jr!!
Great stuff guys 👍
Heck yeah! Love ya'lls channel.
Woohoo, nice finds, guys! Backhoe saves you guys a lot of hard digging!💖
oh man, one of my local bottles love it keep it up.
Love that rye bottle.
Travis is so cute helping you. Happy Birthday Travis!!! You did a great job helping your dad. Great video!!
Looks like the flare gun might be a walking cane handle.
Yeah I think that’s what it is brother man thanks
I just love how happy your videos make me feel. I enjoy the surprises so much. I've even started watching bits of your auction videos. I've learned alot from you guys which is very appreciated. I've started to look at my own glass collection alot differently. It's mostly made up of items that look old and unique. You've definitely sparked a new interest for me.
Wishing you happy and productive digging. 😊
Thanks for sharing.💛
An old gun! That's cool!
Can I come watch you dig? It would be a dream come true. Before I die.
hi,this scene would be all my dreams come true.luck boys.
T - Bring Jimmy and the excavator when you come back up here... Killer whiskies Corey ! Tough break on the cough syrup but as Jr said - put it in the pile!!!!! He's got the bug, love it.....
Wow again nice finds at double diamond ridge !
It's so nice to see Travis Jr. Enjoying digging with his dad ☺️
Thanks Nat, glad you enjoyed the digging adventures and the little bit of father son time. Appreciate you and your continued support my friend.
It's so great that you involve your son, and I love that he is so excited and genuinely interested it!
Thank you, nothing gives a father more joy then spending quality time with his son. ❤️ He wants to keep everything no matter what it is 😂 Hopefully one day he takes over the family business 😊. Thanks for your continued support Andrea.
My son I had to take a bottle and let him find it or he would not have left
That prototype hobbleskirt is amazing! That thing has to be extremely rare, and worth some serious bank! That's definately my favorite!! Well done! Tony.
It is very neat thx brother. It goes beautifully with my Coca Cola bottle collection. Still have to find a hutch though 😂. Thanks brother for your continued support.
Great digs, guys. Love the square rye & the SS Coke. Happy 9th to Trav Jr. .
I live about five miles from Johnston City!
Boy it's nice having that backhoe. Great finds y'all 🏹
I love Jr’s enthusiasm 😊...great finds and happy birthday!
Love the embossed Whiskey`s!
Nice lot all together! Well done!
Fantastic video guys! You both found some really killer bottles. I think Trav jr must really be your lucky charm. 😉
The whiskey bottles Corey dug up were crazy! But I think that ‘F W Fitch and Company from Iowa was my all time favourite from your dig. Thanks again for the cool video, your auctions and most of all, all of the hard work you both do digging the bottles.
Take care and hope to see you Wednesday. 😊🤗🥰🇨🇦🍁
You need a "What in the world?!" Tshirt.
Absolutely agree 💯
Them backhoes will ruin you guys bud...you've earned it though...paid your dues! lol!!
Omg it was wonderful to have a 7 ft hole in seconds 😂
That last thing you dug looks like a fancy handle for a cane
Bro I was thinking the same thing while watching the video today, I think that’s what it is.
@@CrickDiggersInc It could be a fancy end for a curtain rod maybe?
You fellas need a four prong potato fork with the two outside forks cut off, and shorten the handle to about
12 to 14 inches. It works really good for loosening hard soil and ash down in the hole. Do you ever sift any of your outhouses on the back fill. Have found a few coins, marbles and tokens that way. Great video, nice finds.
Just bought one actually and am in the process of making that , thansk for the tip. A few veteran diggers have suggested that and we are going to try it out. Should see it in future videos. We sift occasionally but not as often as we should. Thanks brother man for your continued support.
I've been obsessing about that for years, such that I made one in 2007-2×4s and 1/4" square netting, galvanised. I've since refined the design-srainless netting, new oak standard 14x22" design- I advertise in American Digger. I use all the time, and have found great smalls.
Great dig! I would love to use a sifter there to find the little treasures.❤️
I think that Fitch bottle is from Boone Iowa
Hey ya'll, I just came across your channel when I searched how to clean old bottles, btw its nice to see someone besides myself that says Crick, lol. I have a question, I have just started my collection, I have just a few old bottles, they were given to me except for 2 that I found out rock hunting. How do you know where to hunt bottles at, and how do you identify what they are? I live in Saline County in Southern Illinois, we have lots of farm land and cricks, I want to be respectful to the land owners. I know ya'll are super busy, but any tips you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your time be safe and God bless 🙏
Well done men and master Travis Jr. I'd love to come across some of those embossed whiskeys. As always, great vid.
Thanks brother man glad you enjoyed the digging adventures and finds. Appreciate you and your continued support.
fyi - a safe way to clean old glass is to soak it for several days in vinegar, inside and out. most crusty stuff will then come off much easier, and the glass is not harmed.
The Fitçh bottle is a hair toñic Tràvis.🙂👍🏻👍🏼
Thanks brother for the info and continued support
Got you beat I found two pistols in one day and they were in the same shape yours is. Looks like they came off the bottom of the ocean
Congrats brother man on the gay Olas the blob an gun and all the other cool finds. The only thing faster at digging than a crock digger is a backhoe lol. Happy hunting
😂 thanks brother appreciate you and your continued support
That Fitch bottle is from Boone Iowa and the contents were Hair Tonic for barbershops. Nicely scripted too! Great dig.
Thank you my friend, I couldn’t believe that was an I 😂 what a strange way to emboss but yes I was very excited to dig that one. Thanks for your continued support my friend.
epico
👍
How do you's suppose the town chose that area to be the dump back in the 1880's? By the looks of the place, you's might get a few more years out there. I really never thought I'd see the end of Double Diamond. It's been quite the lucrative dump for you two and for some reason I'm saddened to see it go. Those two whiskey's were wicked nice. Just keep the camera on Dad. LOL. What ever happened to those two scracher's you's were so proud of, that were giving to ya's? Oh Travis Jr. has got the digging bug. Happy Birthday Travis Jr. Hard work has prevailed
That square whiskey is killer I’ve seen other diggers dig sample size square whiskeys but I haven’t seen a big embossed one before
We have dug a few of those big squares they are so nicely embossed. Thanks brother man appreciate you and your continued support.
Your welcome btw do either you or Clayton know about antique bottles .net it’s a nice place where a lot of bottle collectors and hunters are and share there collections and vast amount of knowledge especially from the old timers there. It’s a great place if you got questions about bottles which could help with your auctions. Anyways keep up the good work!
That one item may be a horse hitch?✌😁
That really sucks that they're going to build on some of the dump.
It does but we absolutely hammered that spot for 3 years so we couldn’t have missed much.
Thats ashame to see the end of double diamond. Some people call it progress but I don't know.
Not the end just a small section brother but it is sad. We spent 3 years digging that area though so we were able to save a lot of history that otherwise never would have been seen. We still have permission further back in the dump to dig so more videos will be made from there. Thanks brother for your continued support.
Not liking the ash, surprised to see bottles not cracked nor broken after being fired. At a bottle meeting we saw a 1790's clear bottle from his display case (China cabinet), later, while during the meeting, we hear ting sound, it broke. He said he had another one that did the same thing. He said he got the bottles from an ash pit.
Could you give some tips to a new digger like me?
Go to the city hall and see if you can get any maps of your old towns
Do you ever cut off broken bottles to make candle holders, vases, and cups?
No but we have several boxes for a buddy of mine to make cups out of just haven’t sent them out yet.
did you find any old coins down there?
cane top?
Do uou ever use a black light on any of your bottles
All the time I love seeing the reaction when I use a blacklight on the glass 😊
Real pistol or toy pistol?
Just curious, what do you guys do with the bottles? Keep, sell or?
We keep what we collect yes and we sell a good many in our auctions.
Do you sell these bottles?
I’m looking for some whiskey flasks for my collection. I’m odd and like mine to be slick which I know most don’t. Should I email you what I’m looking for specifically? I love dealing with you. All my bottles have come from you.
I got some slick whiskeys if youre interested. Shoot me an email mattnelson000@gmail.com and i'll send you some pics and we can work a deal.
Been looking all year for a straight side CC. Smh, still waiting to hear back from you Trav. Check your messages
Email or Facebook?
I messaged you back brother man, sorry it’s been very busy here lately.
Corey is HOT !
What year was that my Vernon square whiskey?
1905-1910
How can I contact you? I have a few questions.
Either Facebook at Crick Diggers or email me directly at Travis.Wyant31@gmail.com
It's a shame how much trash is inside our Planet.
Yes it is you got that right. Atleast they are figuring stuff out with how to recycle and properly dispose of it.
@@CrickDiggersInc Right on, glad you guys are also doing your part too!
🥰
i hope you cleaned that revolver. Evaporust is awesome. This is where people hate me, its cool that you get your kid involved, but please dont film them. Cute is cute but annoying is annoying.
You know brother man, it was those annoying kids that hand blew all the amazing bottles we have to dig and collect today. Have not cleaned the revolver yet, currently have my electrolysis tank taken down. Thanks for your continued support sir.
