How do u find these old maps to places like this?? I live out in rural area in Ky and would LOVE to adventure hunt like this! But where do u start??

[@badbob2876]

I found a couple old bottles digging at a old house. (Construction/remodeling) Built in 1800s . . What's the best approach to identifying them? Thanks

[@andrewlawrence6357]

Cool stuff ive found some old bottles and some are 100% like a pepsi bottle and old whiskey bottles cool finds!

[@georgehays4908]

@@jennifers.3818 ......go to the county's historical Library nearest to you . I have my county's and I find places to Use my metal detector . Most people stop at old houses to do this , but if house is gone , it's a sure to find things ! When I hunt for arrow heads , I always keep an eye out for tell tales , like old bricks and old glass or pottery . Have fun !

[@tacocin]

The intrinsic reward of walking the creek, discovering the old house place, and breathing some fresh air that has value in itself. It's not always about the dollar ... it's about recognizing and enjoying mother nature at its finest. Both fascinating and soul cleansing at the same time! Thanks Brandon for ALL that you do!

My old neighbor lived in an old mining town. He got enough old antique bottles and other things to buy a new truck, and then left town forever. My parents had an old dump under their woodshed. They paid off their mortgage with antique bottles. This was in the 1970's

[@andrewcannon3926]

I love that you're looking at the nails that put that outhouse together to try and date it excellent detective work!

[@mrspankytank2858]

“Another mans trash could be another mans treasure” right? I’m so fortunate I found this channel. I do work for my landlord to down my rent a bit and sometimes I find myself under 100+ year old houses and I find old bottles and jars. Now I’m inspired to actually research these finds. You Never know. This is exciting! Subscribed, Liked and here’s your comment!

[@michellemorgan6295]

Good morning hope you find some good bottles

[@randyrhyne1195]

I knew a guy by the last name of Frank who used to do this back in the 70’s. He was from Kentucky if I remember correctly and he was about the most “ hillbilly “ person I’d ever met. Very nice guy and he could move through the woods like a ghost. He was in my squad and I wonder if he is back in the hills still looking for bottles. I hope so.

You sir, gained a subscriber today. Truly interesting stuff a mix of clean up with actual archaelogical diggin.

[@cynthiajenkins6835]

Happy to see you out again! I can only imagine the people who might have lived there. My step father owned a property that had an old house and outhouse . And yes I did use the outhouse. There were lots of old farm and ranches near Austin. This place was around 1880s . Belonged to a judge ,his wife and 8 kids. My brother now owns the old place. The old buildings are long gone.

[@jerrytalley337]

Make sure you probe all around that outhouse Brandon. An older one might be next to it. Often times they would dig the new one and use the dirt to fill the old one.

[@marygarner5249]

Great find! Awesome old homestead

[@susanfranks-craun811]

My sister in law has one at her original homestead. State made people fill them in a few decades back. Unfortunately it is in a river bottom and the water table had been too high to do any type of digging.

[@davidspinney2664]

Hi Brandon great to see you back it makes sense that making bottles into really nice glasses would be a lot of effort. Bottles are not made for that purpose so you are making something beautiful out of something that doesn't want to be a glass.

[@tinabenavidez1903]

I do hope your feeling better.

[@robertthomas3364]

This brought back good memories of looking for "old trash" in and around old parts near long-gone farming properties where I grew up in Northeastern New Jersey. I remember finding remains of women's high-button shoes, Three-in-One oil bottles, you name it. Great fun.

[@chrisdohery9187]

These whiskey glasses are awesome I buy them from Nick all the time and some of them are from you too. Please keep an eye out for shorter candidates too as they are great double shot sipping glasses. These have been my go to for bourbon lately as they are easier to clean with the narrow glass

[@gayle4804]

Awesome finds 👏 👌

[@neillh]

Thank you for taking us on another adventure 👍

[@JeffreyAu1]

I liked seeing your excitement over the outhouse. I agree, you must dig that cesspit, if you have the permission to do so. It's not that people would deliberately throw items into them. They have rubbish tips for that. It's what people accidentally lose down those holes in the outhouse. Coins and personal items and the DID NOT go down there to recover them (for good reason).

[@EZDiggin]

Glad to see that you are feeling better Brandon!! Way to restock the glasses. Happy hunting and be well

Nice finds, Brandon. Glad you're feeling better. That old marked brick right at the beginning was no doubt an A.P. Green from the St. Louis area. Those show up all over.

[@codybrown3326]

Camping last year I found an old foundation and a bit of wall. It was surprising because I was a solid 10 miles from anything in a swamp. I'd love to find an old map and see how the area changed over the years. I assume the swamp formed later probably from logging.

[@robertsnearly3823]

I have saved enough modern bottles for projects. I just never thought that an older, semi broken bottle could be repurposed into a drinking glass. What a set of whiskey glasses that would be. Thanks for the enlightenment. ❤😊

[@theunpretentiousvegan8593]

I've heard it said that in the winter the outhouse is 100 feet too far, and in the summer it's 100 feet too close.

[@adventurearchaeology]

I figured I had better do some explaining for some of the folks who don't understand the process haha

[@retrobear2]

I’m from VT and we had whole cellar hole “towns” on our land. Some with old cemeteries with very sad gravestones. One such was a stone from the grave of a 9 year old girl, who was a wife and died in childbirth. Actually soon after by the stones dates, the whole town suffered from a dypyheria epidemic and enough people died so the town was abandoned. Good old days huh? Hell no. I’m sure there’s many old objects buried in and among those cellar holes.

[@tiptonscuriousgoods]

There's something haunting about old cemeteries, no pun intended, honestly. So much history there, and it truly makes me wonder about the lives of the people buried there. I didn't realize my appreciation for very old cemeteries until I moved to Tennessee. I recently even came across one in Sevierville, I think, though it may be in Seymour, TN, where a number of soldiers who fought in the revolutionary war are buried. It makes me wonder about that 9 year old girl's life. I feel so sad at the injustice of a child forced to marry at such a young age, to endure the things she did, and have her life cut so short because she wasn't valued for the previous child she surely was. Those cellars must hold some interesting items, and many interesting secrets.

[@jhtsurvival]

Probably some dead bodies

[@daniellethomas3745]

Seriously… this cannot be more thrilling! I want to do this with my boys but it’s hard to find property or abandoned homes/buildings that aren’t private! Do you have any tips for how to explore?

[@adventurearchaeology]

Keep watching! I have tons of how to videos!

[@michaelheyward7668]

Another great video! A lot of folks don't truly understand the time and cost involved with transforming a broken bottle into a drinking glass unless they have tried it. Kudos for taking the effort to save as many as possible! Stay safe out there...

[@Numba1Man]

Where I live in feyetteville Arkansas, we bought some land and there are a lot of cool retaining walls dating back to the 1880s. In one of the retaining walls is a root cellar for vegetables. Well the people who lived the long ago dumped all there trash there, and I have found hundreds of old bottes, moonshine, bottles soda bottes you name it, On top of that I have found thousands of courts crystals, one weighing it least 10 pounds with the tips intact About 5 ft under we found a really old knife carved rock that read "Cato springs

[@debraporch7888]

Brandon, loved the video. Enjoyed the scenery and seeing the old home and outhouse. Unfortunately I don't think the out house will be worth digging at least not that one. I'd be probing for another one on the property. Take care of your health and I wouldn't push it too hard you're still recovering from Covid.

[@nelsonllewellyn8630]

Great fun. Good buddy of mine got a masters degree in archeology. Put himself through school 100% by digging up old outhouses in Maine and Massachusetts and the Northeast us.

[@chrisackerley1842]

Brandon - I am so glad you didn't step into that hole at 3:11 - when I saw that deep water that seems to undercut the bank of the creek, my alarm bells started ringing and I thought to myselff "watch out for snapping turtles!" - was I worrying over nothing? Please advise.

In the winter the snappers hide pretty well!

[@jimthompson9992]

Great to see you back out in the wild, Brandon, after your go around with that pesky virus! Hope you'll be back to 110% soon! I figured it was somewhat expensive to turn the "shorts" into drinking glasses but when you add Everything into it...wow! It really isn't worth quitting your day job for...for sure! Hope the house site is a lucky one for you...and outhouses...as the old saying went, "10 feet too close in the summer, 10 feet too far away in the winter" because they did smell in the summer heat and in cold weather, well, you get it! Hope your family is doing well! God bless!🇺🇸🇺🇸

Up here in Ohio Brandon what you called a powder rock is called a concretion it has a Grey clay in it that's wet and semi soft the natives would take it out and smashing it soft mixing it with the dust of regular rocks they smashed to powder that were colored the red was from red ocher rock which is a soft iron rock but not iron but contains it to give it the red color from it oxidization in the water which they would wet and it didn't have to be mixed with the concretion clay same with the color yellow if they found a yellow ocher rock which is like the red but in a type of concreation so it wasn't oxidized to red in the creek but if not they find and pound a yellow rock into powder to mix with the concretion clay but they find rocks or make a dye to mix with the concretion clay if they couldn't just put it on I used to arrowhead hunt a lot and when I was young i read it in a archeology book plus heard natives say what they used when I went on tour's at Cherrokee in north Carolina and other native places like the apache reservation when I was little when i lived in Newmexico and my dad told me from what he was told growing up and going to the cornplanter Seneca reservation in Pennsylvania and Newyork but yeah looks like you found a neat place other then 100 year old bottles some of the old trash it's self is worth something to like your videos and been watching your reels on Facebook to

Back in the late 60s there was an outhouse beside my grandparents house... Looking back I remember all the " now collectibles"... But my grandparents had it all cleared away... So sad to think about that

[@The_DC_Kid]

I can't tell you how many times I've used old wooden outhouses with a catalogue or newspapers for TP, both of which were notably ineffective for the task. Hundreds at least. They were NEVER comfortable inside; either cold and damp and with whatever paper being the same way and prone to poking through, or hot and unbelievably stinky. And they were great spider habitats bc the smell attracted flies. It's much nicer now.

[@rainmancw9022]

When the bathroom would freeze up in the winter, we would use the outhouse out on the mountainside. Our church had an outhouse. Refuse would roll through a hole in the back and down to the old creek just down the hill. Growing up in appalachia, it was common use up into the 70s to use outhouses.

[@davidross5169]

[@TheBlueRoan316]

I have seen an outhouse. I've nver used one though. My grandparents in Louisiana had one. Grandpa use it for storage when I was a kid. Grandma talked about the days when they actually used it for its intended purpose. There was even an entry in her diary talking about the day they got "indoor plumding".

[@TheBlueRoan316]

I should have went on to say: the entry in her dairy talked about the day they got indoor plumbing and how excited she was not to have to use the outhouse (or a slop jar at night) any more.

The privy dates from the 1930s and newer. It is a Roosevelt sanitary privy. It has a concrete floor and iron seat. Rule of the thumb is if a outhouse is still standing, it’s too new to dig.
