Just found your channel a few days ago. I subbed. Been digging dumps and privies since 1974. Your right you never know what you might find. About 25 years ago I dug a Van Cleef and Arple 18k cigarette case in awesome shape. It was art deco from the 20s and weighed 215 gram's. Sold it at auction for $7650. Keep digging and I'll keep enjoying.👍👊

Just good old digging technique and knowledge you so generously share with us. I like that you use wood to dig, because as you know it is so much gentler on the treasures you find, whatever they may be. Keep On! ( :

Just subscribed! My brother use to dig old sites he remembered seeing alongside roads ,once he discovered the town at one time had a cola manufacturing company. He found bottle after bottle that said, Madison Cola. No one around even remembered the place being there. He started off finding bricks, so he knew something had been there. A big part of Madison, Ga history had been forgotten. Don't know if he still has any of the bottles. Says there's got to plenty more, but you can't go in the wooded area anymore. Whoever owns it now, maybe they will dig and see what type of machine's were used back in the day. My brother is also a collector of Indian artifacts. He's been doing that since he was a child. A true archeologist, he has a huge collection of both Indian an early American artifacts.

I still use my 100+ year old Rayo center draft lamps and find them soothing in the winter here in rural northern MI. They can burn kerosene or lamp oil (I use oil), give off about 40 watts of light (have a round wick, which are still being produced) and quite a bit of heat for their size. Great for when the power goes out or when you just want some extra warmth and light on cold dark days. I use frosted chimneys on mine, without the shade, to defuse the firelight. The lamp you found didn't have all its working parts, so maybe that's why it was thrown away. Happy hunting!

Above the bank was a property of an English governor who settled here in the mid 1700's and I've found some fantastic relics coins black inch thick bottles and silverware. To all those who love the hunt, hunt on my friends and good luck.

Have you ever saved the old window glass and made a mosaic-stained glass article with it. With the swirls and imperfections in the old glass I think it would be glorious and the sun would fire through it like crazy. Heck you might ask your followers if anyone would be interested in purchasing lots of the window glass you might be surprised out the answers. Especially those people that do art glass pieces and stained glass pieces with the lead. I always enjoy watching history come out of the ground. The Dr. Kilmers swamp root sample bottle is found quite often in the UK diggers holes. It’s crazy how some bottles and produce made it over seas and a lot of others didn’t. Same goes for products made in the UK some made it to the states but a lot didn’t. Like the Cobb bottle have you ever found one of those here in the states? I love the lamp you found, nice. Nice pictorial bottle at the end of the pit. I just commented on another video about how we don’t have pictorials like the UK our is very sparse where over there they are pretty well plentiful. Meaning there’s a lot of companies that had pictorials on their bottles. Just like they had tons of stone ware bottle of all kinds and shapes. But it is fact that they are the old world and existed long before us in our country. They find whole pieces of Roman pottery and also fragments. Onion bottles from the 1200s and later. The piece of metal under the metal ring looks like a devise used for pulling your shoes off or boots off. The Dr. Kilmers bottle looks to manganese glass. With its purple tint.

My dad lived in a house without indoor plumbing with his grandparents, on their farm when he was little. They always told him to relieve himself before going to bed. He fought them, because of the cold or wet walk to the outhouse. One night woke up because he needed to go, but didn’t want to go to the outhouse. So he used the chamber pot. He regretted it for the rest of the night. His room smelled like poop! That lantern you found. I saw the holes and thought you guys had accidentally poked it. But then we got a closer look, and the hole was made from the inside-out! I think the lantern became defective, and was disposed of, after being used for target practice. Pretty cool artifact!

I worked for a small mom & pop phone company in western Colorado. The Morgan family that owned that small phone co used to have the central office switch in the livingroom of their small home. The mom and older kids worked as the operators and would switch calls when someone cranked the phone and told them who they were trying to reach. Dial phones were invented at that time but many rural and mountain communities across the US still had the old timey crank phones. In the late 50's and early 60's they finally were able to upgrade everyones phones to the new rotary dial type phones. It took a while to get everyone switched over but they would remove the old crank phones and put the new dial phone in. Their little company had about a thousand customers spread out between a half dozen small towns there along the Arkansas River in western Colorado. The old crank phones werent worth anything back then so there was no market for them and when they would remove them Mr. Morgan had the kids throw those old phones down the outhouse holes. Long story short I know where there are about a thousand old timey crank phones are buried. Haha. The wood on them has no doubt rotted by now but the metal parts, generators, bells and handsets are still there. Lol. Im not interested in digging them out. But the point to tgis is it was very common back in the day to throw your junk down the outhouse hole. Once a hole was full they would just dig another hole and move the old outhouse over the new hole. And thats why sometimes when you dig up old stuff its concentrated in a small but deep round hole. Kind of an cringey thought for old buried antique treasure hunters but that's the reality. Happy hunting! And God bless.

Love them old bottles. When i was a kid i found an old bottle stash/trash that was washing out of the bank of a creek. Probably 20 different kinds of pop bottles. You'd think they would have had a deposit on them. We lived in the country about 10 miles from the Streator (IL) bottling works maybe that had something to do with it. Lots of mason jars, milk bottles, all with different names on them. Was fun!

yeah we still had one when i was a kid in the 90s.. but im sure that there would have been a much earlier one.. probably the same with your place too

Just stumbled across your channel. How do you know where to dig?

The "Ring" looks like it came off of a "Wine Barrel".

Ive seen home and attic find catsup bottles with full label...really cool... As bottle you'd want to keep

yeah, we've found some better condition on paper lables, but for the most part, the only ones with paper labels still intact, are the ones that never went into the ground.. they're still really cool when they have the paper label tho, and if we ever find a good one we make sure to save it.. you can literally just wipe them away if you arent careful.. thanks for leaving us a comment and thanks for watching!

Have you ever done some digging on a battlefield on the US east coast? That would be interesting

I recognized the metal object with the horns on the end. It's a cowboy boot puller for taking the boots off. My sister had a brand new one when she took horseback riding lessons.

I think it’s awesome you can share all the product info from the items you find. How do you find all the histories & info?
@BelowthePlains2 жыл бұрын
well thank you, thats probably the most time consuming part of producing the videos. and we basically just use google, and sometimes we use a website that has a ton of old newspapers digitized and we just use a keyword search. theres a surprising amount of info on these products, and it seems like many of the items we find are made by companies that are still in business today. hope that answered your question. thanks for watching!

Yes, the green glass was the base of a cake salver/stand. The oil lamps you often describe as "lanterns" are known more commonly as lamps when they were used in a household or restaurant... Lanterns term refers to mine and railroad lighting/lantern. I have vast collections of both 1800 cake salvers and oil lamps. What you referred to as a broken creamer pitcher is known as a cruet, usually oil and vinegar. I have vast collections of those too.

I work for Welch's in North East Pennsylvania. I have been there 28 years. It would be nice to be able to get one of these Welch's bottles from you, if possible. There is coworker of mine that retired who has his walls lined with nothing but series of Welch Glass and has them illuminated. I appreciate any response. I really enjoy watching you find these artifacts 💖🤗
