The research is awesome. I really loved the story about the drunk chickens !

Well Tom, there were a lot of sick people or hypochondriacs living in that area, cheers!!🥰👍👍

All those crown ovals, near a saloon, makes me think it had an opioid derivative in it, Of which was popular with local stoners of that period. Ty for taking us along

[@janiesippel225]

Where did you learn so much about bottles and history of stuff, and how did you get started in digging for bottles and artifacts? Your channel is very interesting. Thanks for posting. 😊

Nice dig. I think you were quite correct in thinking people were drinking the extracts as a alternate alcoholic beverage. I know in Canada sometime in the mid 1900's that extracts (vanilla in particular) were no longer allowed to use alcohol as a base product. Nice to see that Bradon Empire beer bottle. As beer bottles were reused it is possible it made its way south of the border around prohibition time. I've no doubt that if you continue digging in northern North Dakota you'll come across more.

[@dangray]

Always look forward to new digs. Thanks

[@wadehendryx7378]

Well. It was worth waiting for. Those green liquor type bottles. Those are a beautiful color. Another great day. Hope you guys are doing well. Take care. Can't wait for the next one.😊

Funniest thing. I was watching a cop show the other night. The chic was pulled over for being all over the road..she was trashed. Her drink of choice was vanilla extract..the car was loaded with empty bottles, every kind, every size..some still unopened..I was shocked and had to laugh. I had just watched your episode of all the extract bottles..they weren't baking..lol

Awesome bottles Tom. Pretty good haul out of to pits. Looks cold up there. Thank you for the awesome videos. Always looking forward to your video. Never know what you will find. Stay warm. ❤❤

You are correct about the extract. Vanilla extract and Jamaica Ginger was often drank as an alcoholic beverage. I've seen many pumpkin seed and coffin flasks with Jamaica Ginger labels.

So what do you do with all these? Do you have a shop or a booth at an antiques mall, or sell them online? Are you also a collector searching for your own rare pieces?

Do you use a T bar?

[@fleshbag7754]

I'm having a little difficulty with the Sanborn maps... Some clearly show outbuildings labeled 'privy' or other names.. but most do not. Should i just assume Any smaller structure in the 'back' area of a property is a privy? Also, i have seen the circles that indicate 'air shafts', either wooden or brick framed. Are these some kind of indoor privy, or something else? Thanks in advance, whoever is reading this.

It seems like alot of drug and alcohol abuse from privy to privy from site to site and every state you go to. How did people function back then hopped up on opium and coke and alcohol. What book or books have you published? I would love to know way more on this hobby.
