140-Year-Old Map Found in an Old Book Leads Us Five Feet in the Ground

[@ABeautfulMess]

Nothing stops Tom, snow, rain or wind..outhouses will be found and treasures discovered..❤

[@akster8434]

Finally! Applied top and tooled top explained! Thank you, Tom. 🙂

[@davidreynolds3634]

I’ve been wondering what the difference was since I started watching your shows. Thank You! If you think of it would you tell us about Philly Oval, Blake style and the many others?

[@aprilanywhere3879]

Tom is AWESOME! Makes me want to dig up my backyard!

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

Someone got to this long before you and got all of the good stuff. Great Idea using the hammer drill with a chipping bit. I used one in Florida to chip away older concrete for some repair work. Brutal work & we worked a full day. Save the back at all costs!

[@karenwright9123]

Always interesting. Love the look of that house. Have a great Thanksgiving,Tom.🦃

[@DavidJones-smiley]

You got the right tools for the job Tom. Want be long before you will have to dig through the snow in Montana. Stay warm my friend.🇺🇸🇺🇸❄️❄️🔥🔥

[@maryl1785]

The outhouse archeologist at it again! Love the history you dig up! I appreciate all the info you give on your channel.

[@PhoenixFlier]

Perfect name for the channel and no disrespect meant. I watch Tom all the time and learn a lot from him and the amazing artifacts he uncovers.

[@dannmccord1923]

I just love Saturdays Tom I wait all week for your videos. Stay warm . ❤❤❤❤❤

[@m.c.master4622]

Tom, you are so DILIGENT!!! I admire your passion and work ethic. Wishing you many happy and safe digs to come.

[@TomAskjem.LostHorizons]

Thanks!

Tom, I was hoping you would make it to Montana...soooo exciting. And so dedicated.Thank you for doing this it's wonderful to find things with you. 😊

Hey! Tom! Thanks for explaining the difference between tool top and applied top bottles! Another educational video!

Tom!!! YOU ROCK ALL THINGS! Nk.

[@BBWFootGoddessRenee]

Tom!!! I always enjoy every video!! Happy Digging 💜

[@winniepooh3]

Hi Tom, You have sent your snow and gales over here to the UK but it gives me a chance to sit in front of my computer and watch your video without feeling guilty about being lazy ! Always a pleasure to see your enjoyment of the hobby, good "haul" or not.

[@JustinBibeau-nm9qm]

Keep the awesome videos coming, Tom. Diggin America!

[@TastyWaffles-qe6qq]

Woo Hoo!!’ Tom and power tools!?!? Best Saturday EVER!!!!!!🤗

Yes! A new bottle digging video to listen to while on my way to go bottle digging! Lol

[@DiggingTimesPast]

Thanks Tom. Another good video. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

[@sunshinerainbows3759]

I love your videos, I’m always so happy when I see a new video from you! I’ve told family and friends with historic houses that they have buried treasure somewhere on that land, they seem to think it’s not worth the work, which is bizarre to me. Since finding your channel I’ve watched some other diggers and I’m pleased to report that you appear to be very respected, something of a legend amongst many. Thanks for the content!!✌🏼

[@mandybrown7758]

Im so happy your videos are back in my feed 😊

[@elizabethpayne53]

What a great variety of things - makes it so interesting to watch!

[@Kathy-pg1en]

You and your work is absolutely fascinating. Thank you for the hours of entertainment and knowledge.

[@JulieMelberg]

As always, very fascinating! Thank you for showing us all these items. It really sparks my imagination of life back then.

[@jeffclark2725]

Thumbs up,great video, an adventure to Montana lots of items found

[@tammyaskjem9871]

You work so hard on these digs! Every dig is different! Thanks for taking us on the dig with you! Another excellent vid!

[@eburro62331]

Another great video...Thanks!

[@meloneynorsworthy7784]

Hello again Tom! Still get excited when your new video pops up. We really do enjoy your digs! I'd love to know how you got into this and if possible, share some of your favorite pieces...much love from the east coast 🙏🥰☺️👍

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

He started digging as a kid on his parents old farm in North Dakota. It went on from there.

[@bouncerslabrealnature9143]

Beautiful and rare snuff jar lid🎉...👍 Found hundreds of pottery snuff jars in Minnesota but only found 2 lids.

[@ToddTheJoker]

interesting dig! Can't wait for the next one Tom! thanks and take care

[@WilliamNelson-s3t]

Thanks, Tom. You’re the best way to go.

It’s amazing how ash just does not change over time.

[@avengingmime]

Butte is such an interesting town full of historic buildings! My brother has an early 20th century project house there and I'd love to go take a shovel to the place.

[@TCW-hw6iw]

Slim pickings this time but I admire your stamina and determination. I must be getting educated as I'm beginning to recognize some of the items your are digging. Thanks for the information on applied top verses machine made. What is the difference between a blob top and an applied top?

[@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat]

Tom, the pits seemed smaller and not as deep, but you did find some nice bottles and items. The home looked beautiful. My favorite was the unique bell style ink bottle. Thank you for another awesome adventure.👍👏👏😀

[@TheGreatest1974]

Out in the SNOW digging bottles for us! That’s a good chisel tool you use to free up the topsoil. Very interesting. 👍🇬🇧

[@RosannJasso-ku1vx]

Yes, more rocky in the west, keep digging!

[@daviddarrall9384]

Hi Tom. Snowing here too! Storm "BERT", 70 mph winds 30cms of snow. Much better off down a hole! 😊 UK.

[@Leslie-wb8cb]

I've been watching you since the beginning of the pandemic-- I find them to be soothing and interesting. We also play a game in our house... I shout "Bitters!" when you find the first bitters of the pit. Because there is always bitters. And today, it was only a couple of minutes in! I also give a cheer when you find undigested seeds, and my husband thinks that's gross. 😀

[@TomAskjem.LostHorizons]

Thanks for watching!

[@ludercoarms]

2nd bullets you found, UMC is Union Metallic Cartridge. They are still in business today, part of Remington Arms. Thank you, I really enjoy watching your digs!

[@davidreynolds3634]

This is true.

[@LiSa.N.J]

11:45...Woodbury NJ? I was born in Woodbury, New Jersey!. It's in south western NJ, in Gloucester County. Just a hop, skip from Philadelphia PA using the Delaware River and Mantua Creek water ways back then. That find had me do a double take. WOW!!! Amazing!

I got excited too! I grew up in Swedesboro!

[@DaleSanders-x2b]

Would you ever consider doing a video of your best and rarest finds. Love your content.

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

Wondering if you ever found what you were looking for in Butte (some sort of bottle, but I don't remember what). Wow, that was early snow because I think you were there around a month ago. Cool house and hotel where you stayed! I would have been excited yo see that old doorbell if I was the homeowner! They seem to be fixing up Butte and embracing their past. Thanks for taking us on this dig! Keep on digging!

[@TomAskjem.LostHorizons]

I did not but will be trying back at some point

[@MadelineRose-ep7fj]

Interesting haul! Stay dressed warmly, be safe.😊

[@danielevans9379]

This dude must have one amazing collection of 19th century bottles! 😳

[@patty4091]

Guess you are needing clippers these days. 😂 nice finds, winter is here for sure!

[@marydalton5752]

It's interesting to find unused bullets! I love the house where he was digging!

[@vickiesmith9198]

What do you do with everything you find? Does the land owner gift it to you or do you share??

[@montanawilds2737]

Hey... welcome to Montana. a thought, there is a vid titled the best preserved ghost town in Montana. I wonder what might be found in that town?

[@wadehendryx7378]

That was fun. Too bad they were dipped. Love the age. Take care. 😊

[@richblake3491]

25:15 something to note: I have found those exact same glass buttons with same pattern all the way in Wellfleet Massachusetts while doing excavations

[@larisarogers2649]

That was a chilly day!

[@lizmbrad]

That mason jar lid is rather valuable. Do a bit of research, and you will see that it is. You can sell it for a fair bit. Just a thought.

[@bwilliams463]

I appreciate you for putting in all that hard work that you didn't make us watch.

[@michellegraue6266]

Please please come to Philipsburg Mt. You have to dig here and up the hill In Granite Mt. I think you will love it.

Well it was 35 degrees here Saturday so we are not even into summer yet! Will enjoy your snow but stay warm! Only snows in a few high altitude places in Australia in winter

Stay warm Tom

[@killiam2868]

I think of all the places I lived at that I'm sure had outhouses just never thought anything could be in them

[@cferguson3368]

The cup with gold..gold leaf is applied with a very very thin sheet of gold. Back then, gold leaf was actually made of gold. It was applied with soft pressure (usually a special brush) over glue. A finish coat could be added over gold leaf. Gold on pottery, porcelain, & ceramics is painted on with a liquid that contains actual gold. It is reddish/brown/black, but it turns gold when fired.

[@TomAskjem.LostHorizons]

I appreciate the info!

[@thebottlebug5729]

Love digging in Butte, some big deep pits there (miners know how to dig!), last pit we dug on our last trip, along with the bottles we pulled a horse skull sporting two small caliber bullet holes, privy digging is so much fun!

[@TomAskjem.LostHorizons]

Interesting. Butte was rough. Aside from the granite I kept finding pits that appeared to have already been dug.

[@thebottlebug5729]

@@TomAskjem.LostHorizons I do remember some "disturbed" pits there, one in particular had plastic bread bags from the 50's-60's half way down, but we pulled a couple terr. meds right in with them so not dug into by bottle diggers? Haven't been back since just before covid, keep getting distracted by towns closer to home, once you cross the Rockies the western bottles pretty much dry up. Bet you were hunting that Wilson blob, lots of great bottles from Butte! BTW, if a home owner there says it was two guys from Wa. state, I just might know who that was! 😉😁 Love the vids man!! 👍

[@craigwills1615]

In the words of our Australian friends, breaking up of the ground look like hard yakka.

[@kenepowers3711]

It'd be so cool to see you dig a pit at Cerro Gordo. Idk if you're aware of Ghost town living on yt but that would be super awesome

[@TomAskjem.LostHorizons]

I messaged the guy who lives out there and didn’t get a response. I do know that the place was picked over long ago but am not sure how much digging my was done. I photographed a whiskey bottle that someone found out there, back in the 60s or 70s I believe

that house possibly hat slate roofing back in the day. to put those slat shingles in place copper nails are used, that could be there the nail came from…

[@kathysenn7664]

maybe the back building was a carriage house and/or servant's quarters? don't come digging in Billings til I have my turn.. just kidding.. come on down! if you do come to Billings let me know- I could come watch!

[@katpowell961]

Could someone tell me where i can find the video that had the old map in the book? I had watched a previous video, but nothing about a map was shown in that either.

uh oh ... forgot the closing finds at the end of the video.. a good cold dig though.. stay warm and well!!

[@TomAskjem.LostHorizons]

I’ve been strapped for time lately. I’ve nearly enough vids to last the winter, though, one more digging trip and I should be good and should then have some free time.

[@mrdale8820]

Welcome to digging in the west! Not the "butter" dirt you are used to in the mid-west :)

[@Phaota]

You should save large chunks of anthracite (coal) when you come across them. You never know if they might have a fossil in them. Plus, coal is interesting as a fossil in itself. It's a shame neither of the holes yielded anything worthwhile, other than that nice barrel mustard jar and the button.

[@Spikedgriffon]

It’s telling when you don’t have bottles to show after 2 pits. Hope the next pit is better for you.

[@RosannJasso-ku1vx]

So you’re not digging for Egyptian artifacts,still very interesting to me!
