Your videos have become part of my Saturday afternoon routine. 😊 It’s a great way to spend these frigid northern plains winter days! Thanks for your hard work!

[@sarahkingjordan4443]

So glad you started making videos again. We love watching, especially when you find some serious monumental finds. Love you are doing videos closer together now, more often per week/month… 😊

[@terrencebuller7676]

Thank you once again for a great dig, Tom. Looking forward to the next program. Stay safe 👍👍👍

[@bfmorris5706]

Always a pleasure to come along. Thanks

[@sheilafranklin186]

Hi Tom 🙂 Gosh, so much broken glass. It makes me nervous for you cutting yourself. Please, do be safe. Thank you for all that you do to bring us all these amazing videos. They're always so interesting and informative.

[@Aksnowberry]

[@rockfishmiller]

Another epic dig and thanks for the back lit, it's a good start.

[@maryl1785]

Not that you don't always, but you really had to work this one! The bottle you featured is incredible. Thanks for taking us along.

[@jeffclark2725]

Thanks for bringing us along on your adventures,really enjoy them in North Dakota again

[@samsager1]

[@weasel6three597]

Very cool! Keep the videos coming!

[@tinaj984]

I have yet to acquire a picnic flask. Because of your digs I have several shoofly coffin flasks plus. It's a joy to see that picnic!! Can't wait to see what else you find! Thank you, Tom!😁😁😍

[@JeffreyLee63]

Alright Tom thanks for sharing your finds, I love this old stuff those picnic flasks are cool as can be, thanks again

As always, enjoy your efforts and your finds in the Dakota's. Thanks

[@ToddTheJoker]

Thanks Tom! No matter if its a historic dig or not, I find what you do, very interesting! Keep at it! Take care

[@stuartmartin495]

A Massive hello from West Coast of Scotland..love the videos , knowledge..

[@19king14]

That blue flannel shirt for digging around stinky pits is way nicer than what I wear for everyday gad-abouts! :)

[@dannmccord1923]

Very nice bottles Tom l love the pumpkin flask. They are beautiful

[@sunrunneroldbottels223]

I have dug for bottles for 54 years and it still amazes me how much there is still in the ground. And I'm glad to see a serious digger still out there. nice dig!

[@fiorenzaattanasio4796]

Thanks Tom

[@40shellyfish]

Those old applied tops are so cool looking. The giant pumpkin seed flasks and gin bottle are gorgeous!🤩

[@rogerb4971]

Great dig, Tom! The descriptions were right on and the end pic was a banger! Thanks!

[@allenjones4949]

Love the videos.

[@robertmartin4942]

Hey Tom- my name is Trip Martin I’m 74 and I’ve been collecting bottles for 60 years! I have a collection of about 500 bottles, none of them junk- all before 1900, and many rare bottles- including the earliest black glass Hostetters, a Champion vinegar, a t-x-s morleys hair tonic and too many others to mention except for a few late 1700’s gin and case bottles! Anyhow, my question is this- why is it you hardly ever find square tonics or bitters? Seems strange! Please let me know,okay? Thanks! Love your videos and keep on digging! Your friend- Trip Martin.

[@ninaappelt9001]

Some pits have several bitters bottles. Either feast or famine.

[@juliawalker1697]

What kind of a name is trip 😂

[@kathydobbs1822]

Sorry if I but in but it's Trip and I love it 🥰​@@juliawalker1697

[@slydoll7877]

​@juliawalker1697 it's a common name in Australia and America.

[@marilynmiehls9127]

There always has to be at least one smart mouth. Right Julia? Trip is a good name.

[@imawehole]

Wow that pipe was awesome. We don't find them in the US like they do in the UK. Especially not intact like that one. Great finds, Tom. I love what you do.

[@cferguson3368]

Just for thought, I've taken the old rusty barrel bands, broken & whole, to make wreaths. Several bands are layered and tied together to hold shape. I use old tin to fashion a "bow" or use canvas ribbon. Some even have lights.

[@janelchambers6791]

Good dig you found a great amount of shoofly flasks, including those early ones. My favorite find was the pipe very nice

[@andrewowens9382]

Another great video Tom and you definitely know your stuff 😉 👍 have a weekend 😀 👍 Andrew south wales uk 👌 👍 😊 👏

[@bruceritchie4382]

I dug a pumpkin seed flask that has a clock embossed on it down in Florida about 8 years ago

[@alanknight7817]

Looks like they set the pit on fire. Thought I saw melted glass. What a shame. Always great to see old period bottles.

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

I noticed all that charcoal too.

[@DebraJean196]

I was thinking the same thing. Lots of that glass looked burned

[@aicirtkciub9167]

The barrel hoops had me thinking maybe they had an old barrel outside for people to throw their bottles in ? Thats why they were all smashed ?

[@byranjohnson5931]

Great video!

[@laurinemankelow1629]

I enjoy your content. Thank you. Watching from New Zealand

[@MrSpock002]

Just love the shape and top of those malt extract bottles

[@dirtclodmetaldetecting]

Neat to see all that history!

[@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat]

Tom, I kept hoping you would find some embossed bottles. Loved the pipe, pumpkin seed flasks and the case gin bottle. It looked like two exhausting digs. Thank you for another awesome dig to watch.👍😀👏

[@maryannemckay5766]

Pumpkin seed flasks are my flasks are my favorite too they are so unique Hi Tom still watching back vidios and loving them❤❤❤❤❤ This young man earns every penny he makes such a hard worker and very knowledgeable 😊😊😊

[@bettym.6766]

That first one, for the amount of broken glass there was there, you got a lot of bottles even though there were a lot the same. Awesome.

[@Beanieweenieable]

Love the giant picnic flasks! So cool! What a cool pit…

[@PetertheBeeandFriends]

Shame so little in the way of embossing, but still an historic dig for the area. Thanks Tom.

[@ikemcabier401]

Thanks again for the awesome entertainment sir.

[@debbietschannen542]

Always enjoy your digs thank you

[@VolcanoTimeLapse]

Thanks Tom!

[@markmcintosh9448]

Thank you for sharing

[@kennethstickney8819]

Post-apocalypse, Tom digging deep in a privy, absorbed in his discoveries, a blinding flash. He emerges from the hole to find the world gone. From "Lost Horizon"

[@manuela-4m]

Great movie! 💥⏳️😂👍

[@kennethstickney8819]

Not to be confused with "A Boy and his Dog" it's a "A Man and his Shovel"

[@dawnhaynes7784]

Hey Tom another great video love the large pumpkin seed flask one of them needs to find it's way to my house 😆 😊

[@marlenemeinhard8956]

Another great Video with your expertese on the styles and years. I have lear.ned quite a bit from your teachings. As a child and teenager, we went on many hikes finding old cabins and encampments, with my family and friends. My parents would have us carefully dig and find very old glassware, an old revolver. Horse shoes. Very very fascinating. How cool you find these with old maps from the area.

[@peacedovecreations2460]

First person to watch. I love your videos

[@Kltpzyxm17]

🍪🍪🍪

[@wadehendryx7378]

Again. Nice. 😊

[@aicirtkciub9167]

Vielen Dank! ❤

[@atuuschaaw]

Incredible site! ♥

[@ShirleyMyers-jh6no]

Could you do a segment on how and why you decided to start your career digging for bottles from the past.

[@alfredvitley1226]

I know that all of the bottles that you found on this dig were basically common, I wish you would show more of them cleaned up at the end of your video. They may not have embossing, but they usually have a lot of bubbles and crooked necks etc. and I would have loved to see some of their crudity !

[@toddcathyfranklin4189]

Love the pumpkin seed flasks shame so much was broken Gin bottle was very nice pipe is a cool find

[@carolynsimone8647]

Why not wish for a corked soda....sounded good to me...thanks for all your hard work to bring us these videos...🥰🥰

[@ABeautfulMess]

I watched a tik Tok on a bottle collector. His wife collects the broken bits and makes jewelry..some where beautiful 😮

[@bgierat]

“This pit is done”. NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

[@kermitmawyer1743]

Tom. Yes. 😊😊😊😊😊

[@MarvinHuff-cp2gg]

Awesome pits tom congrats 👍

[@ronl7131]

Good dig!

[@JohnCowboy-px1ye]

Some of the porcelain pipes were for opium. Left at the bar and broken off the tip as they were used by different customers.

[@janeteholmes]

Surprising that you never seem to find coins. I’d have thought they’d fall out of pockets occasionally.

[@firecracker8071]

I love the French square bottle

[@nancychannel8513]

Yeah, another dig!!

[@barbaber8131]

Oh I’d so love that cider bottle. So pretty

[@JulieMelberg]

My dad worked for Dennison before their merger. He fixed price tag machines in stores for them. He drove a territory from Minnesota to some surrounding states. They gave dad a new car about every 2 years.

[@patty4091]

That first pit was a bit of a heartbreaker for you, so many broken items. The second pit gave you some nice bottles, with a pipe to boot!

[@nicholassweazey987]

[@jerryross3674]

Hey Tom , as a kid I would explore everything, not far from my house was some old railroad track ,right off them is an old layover station , 50 yards away the largest bottle dump ever , I haven't been there in 30 years but it's a lot to it be happy to tell you where

[@erictjones]

Some of that looked like really easy digging ;).

[@kenstalter4261]

Looks like a burnt pit .

[@marydilley4455]

Got some great finds today Tom! Thanks for another fun exploration adventure! The pumpkin flasks and whisky bottles are my faves! Do you sell your bottles online?

[@greggv8]

Look up Tia Weston in North Dakota. She's remodeling a house around 100 years old. Looks like its bathroom is in what used to be a back porch so it most likely had an outhouse pit.

[@DaShinnboneShow]

Love the content can you come to VA got a lot of historical you can dig and permission

[@James-f6f5g]

My goodness that first pit was murder. I thought the trowel was going to break. That gin bottle is awesome. So we can conclude men took there medicine from the bottle. So very few medicine bottles. Those pumpkin shaped bottles are great.

[@NicoleVanessa76]

Why is there so much broken glass on the first dig? I love your show!

[@Kltpzyxm17]

Howdy Tom! 👋

[@julie4636]

Not enough lime was used in those pits. Smelly and sticky. Thanks for your hard work to show us this hidden world.

[@paul_knifecrazy1964]

Hey Tom do you ever come up here to Michigan? There are lots of old hotels and bars in Bay County especially. Glad to see a new video, I was getting restless not seeing anything new! Lol

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

They come out every Saturday.

[@paul_knifecrazy1964]

@ thanks!

[@SuperKabookie]

Those are killer picnic flasks

[@evanwalter4183]

Do your arms start to feel like jello after you dig all day?? How long does it take you to fill in, you should show us sometime ! keep up good work

[@thumbalinamom]

From the condition of that first pit and all of the broken glass, it’s almost like they threw them as hard as they could into the pit to break them up so they would take up less space. I don’t remember any other pits that you’ve dug that were in that state of condition.

[@exploringindiana7592]

The slick bottles must love Tom
