Alabama River Bank Treasure hunt! What History is in the water!?

[@JoshV20]

Hey Brandon, I’m from Tennessee and yesterday I was at the doctors and they operate out of a historic building. I was talking to my doctor and she told me that the owners of the building had pulled up some floor boards and found 3 straight side coke bottles, all fully intact but just dirty. I thought it was so cool and just goes to show how history is right underneath us even when we might not expect it to be. Hope you’re doing well!

[@lisacates4185]

Cool story❤️

[@cecilenovak3959]

I was born in the 19's as well but quite a few years before you. The green bottle you picked up is "Bubble Up". My mom always would get some whenever my sisters or I were sick, especially if we were having stomach troubles, and let us sip some to soothe our tummies. This was in the very early 1960's.

[@Graystock1874]

We had Bubble Up as a kid in the 1980's as well! It was like Sprite or 7-Up if I remember correctly. I'm surprised to see it down south as I was thinking it was probably just a Pacific Northwest thing. How interesting!

[@reginaromsey]

My mother was the pharmacist for our small town hospital. They stocked Coca Cola syrup for the pediatric beds to sooth stomachs. Older kids got ginger ale?

[@adriandiaz6094]

Brandon, have you ever considered sending those old whiskey necks to your bottle glass guy to be made into glass guitar slides? It's another way to up cycle antique glass.

[@LCfishing12223]

i'm from hoover Alabama and i love bottle hunting and searching for native american artifacts when i see another video it makes my day.

[@susanmillard3761]

Bubble up was around in my childhood, the bottle you had looks like the 60’s.

[@marstall5181]

Hi Brandon , I remember drinking Bubble up as a kid . Beautiful scenery , stay safe !

[@Thehuntinghillbilly2]

Well can’t all be hutch days, lol. Beautiful creek. Thanks for taking us along

[@adventurearchaeology]

You got that right!

[@janelchambers6791]

I still like the look of those old broken bottles. Sifting below the overhang would be interesting

[@jenniferharvey5340]

Love it when you show it like it is. Sometimes there aren’t any whole bottles but it’s always encouraging to still find little bits of history!

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks Jennifer! Some days are busts..... but that is how life works.LOL

[@jenniferharvey5340]

We went out to our local creek today. Found a few pretty shards of glass and pottery, couple marbles, a glass jar lid and an 1918-23 Heinz ketchup bottle. Best part was the mom-son time with my 10 year old son out in nature on a pretty day.

[@colleencrane4843]

Omg Bubble up was around when I was a kid here in California we had it and I'm 58 years old.,wow what a flashback so cool 😀👍

[@adventurearchaeology]

What did it taste like?! Im curious haha!

[@colleencrane4843]

@@adventurearchaeology it reminds you of Sprite or 7up

[@joyceclark8476]

Hi Brandon, cool exploring those rocks on the banks. Oh yes, I would come back and detect, sift around. Cool about the waders. Good to be noticed. Thanks, Joyce ❤️🇺🇸🙏🍀

[@davidg4300]

Hard not to think Native Americans camped there. I would totally be surprised if the ground there didn't have artifacts. Love the new waders, looking forward to your review. You being contacted by the waders company is a testament to your channel and the knowledge that you exhibit on it. Well deserved accolades Brandon!! God Bless!!

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks David!

[@SWWisconsinMetalDetecting]

👍Love the color of old glass👍

The finds mite have been lite but the scenery was beautiful Brandon. Thanks for bringing us along. Happy hunting and be well

Thank you for taking us along on another adventure 👍

[@johnemerson5383]

G'day from Australia. As always, a great video Brandon. It's always good opening KZbin on a Saturday and seeing what you've been up to.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Hey, thanks!

[@dottie2884]

Brandon Bubble up pop bottle 1947 lima ohio, great find.

[@jamesjr5500]

The ones that you would need to cut higher up on the neck could be used as a vase for flowers. Like a bud vase. Thought maybe a pencil holder but they might be to tall for that.

[@jimthompson9992]

Nice walk, Brandon! Any finds make it a worthwhile trip...and projects for Nick...heck yeah! An arrowhead hunt would be a fun video! Maybe one day????? Thanks, as always, for letting us tag along! Take care, be safe and God bless!

[@tincuptimmetaldetecting9259]

Enjoyed the video Brandon. Very cool area for sure! I think the same thing "that would be a nice spot 200 yrs ago" when I'm out and about lol. Congrats on the finds. All the best!

[@JD-ps6od]

Still enjoyed watching, even though you didn’t find any whole ones. I bet you could sift and find some arrowheads at that overhang. Thanks for the video!

[@AnneWilliams-u5s]

Love the sound of trains going by in your videos!❤❤❤

[@sandysue202]

That rock bluff area was awesome! Smooth down any rough edges on those bottles that you can't make drinking glasses from and they would make awesome vases. The top is even neater if it is irregular! I love those!!

[@bonnieharris8112]

Bubble Up was similar to Seven Up, it was a lemon lime soda. I've not seen Bubble Up in years!

[@dirttrollingtroy3498]

Thanks for bringing us along Brandon. My daughter will be graduating from UAB in June I am going to be up there a lot between now and then hope we can get together I would love to do some bottle hunting with you. Blessings to you and your family have a great week.

[@jameslowe57]

Bubble Up, that’s the ACL you picked up, another great video, thanks for making Friday’s great! 😊👍

[@Luciddreamer007]

Confucius said : A man with a lot of responsibilities ........ Sometimes forgets his rake ! Even when you do not find a lot of "Bottle Gold" your videos entertain. Its pretty amazing the inter-contentedness of today's world : i am not surprised the Folks at Hisea contacted you -They should employ your wife as a model / spokesperson. That over hang was cool, thanks for taking us up there. The deep water pool advice was so noted ( the one created by the long branch ) It reminded me of the video a while back in which you actually scuba dived ! i personally would love to see you do that again. Ahhh Bubble Up ! Memories ......when my three brothers & I were kids during the 70's Nana would give us Bubble Up when we had tummy aches .....Mom hated when that happened cause she said it made her boys "Gassy" ....... Poor Mother I love you Mom !!!

[@terrybusch5088]

We had bubble up here in nebraska in the 60's. My dad sold it in his gas station. It was gone by the late 60's

[@adventurearchaeology]

Wow so cool that folks remember that soda!

[@terrybusch5088]

@@adventurearchaeology Well I'm 69 so I remember a lot of older things. But you have so many local bottled products that we never did in nebraska. It's fun seeing all the older bottles,etc

[@susantreadway6585]

Bubble Up was common in the mid 60s - at least in south Florida. "Taste of Lemon"

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

Definitely sift that overhang!!! Friends up in Kentucky and West Virginia find arrowheads there all the time! Drinking glasses this time out, cool. Maybe some full bottles next trip!💖

[@adventurearchaeology]

I sure hope so!

Haha! Clown Hotel - Then that's gotta be a pie plate!

[@Luciddreamer007]

[@dirtfloormotors]

Some of the bottle necks you find may be repurposed for people who play slide guitars. They would have a real nice look to them.

[@TaneKarnes]

The bottles that have script on the curve, would still make great vases, people may collect. Might be worth a try.

[@tennmark2591]

The Crown Hotel Ware mark was used in the 1890's by Crown Pottery Evansville, In. They made non vitrified commercial dinnerware. In business until 1954.

Bubble Up was common in the late 1950's or early1960's. We had it in California. Kinda like 7-Up except less bite and a bit sweeter. Don't see it any more.

Its funny in my mind its still the 90s hahah

[@Michelle-tk9jq]

I’m a creek walker for artifacts, glass pottery, etc just north of Atlanta Ga area. I own snake boots and I am of course aware of looking out for copperheads and such. When do you really start to see them come out in your area? I tend to assume that if it’s still getting down to almost freezing cold temps at night that they’re not out yet.

[@jimcole389]

Beautiful county any Way

[@scottcarson4570]

Question..just took up metal detection. How are you cutting these bottles off to make whiskey glasses? Is there an episode where I can watch how you do that?

[@mikejackson9342]

Hey Brandon, I just got a pair of waders for Christmas, just curious what you wear under them that stays comfortably while creek walking. Awesome content as usual!

[@MrScootercat01]

I think that bubble up bottle may have been the half quart size.

Have you tried hyxtal? It's a glass resin that might seal up some of those cracks l. Might be worth a try
