132 Year Old Map Found in an Attic Leads to a Hidden Cache Buried in a Back Yard Since the 1890s

[@LauraPeterson-tf6zb]

I don't know why I love to watch him dig in the dirt but it's great seeing what he finds. The old bottles and jars and dishes and vases are nice to see. Keep doing a good job and have fun doing it.

[@ribo451]

Tom. Recovering history and waging war on sleeves. Love the videos.

[@JenniferMacDougall-m1z]

Hun I'd hate to do your laundry lol but I love your videos. Great content. Love history. Have a great day Tom.

[@CreatingwithWinglessAngel]

Since 1891 20 Mule Team Borax laundry detergent and his clothing will look like new 😂

[@edwardallan197]

Yes, I would have to add some bleach.....maybe a squirt of Betadyne.

[@marykunselman284]

Hi Tom great dig

[@marykunselman284]

Sorry Hi camera man Jake ?

[@thomasadrian9854]

Tom- your experience is better than ground penetrating radar!! Great show- thanks!!

[@TheGreatest1974]

Thanks for the video Tom. It’s easy to see how much you enjoy the digging! 👍🇬🇧

[@maureenfitzgerald1895]

I grew up on a farm near the Iowa Minnesota border. Dad loved to dig around the nearby deserted farm places (with the permission of our neighbors/friends). Slightly off topic, but seeing the beautiful black earth makes me so homesick! Greetings from Nebraska

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

Also the black dirt in Illinois, where my mom grew up.

[@Nessy-of-the-Lynn]

I love how you say, "No one really knows where the houses were," yet you figure out where the alleys, back yards and latrine pits were.

[@larisarogers2649]

I love seeing the crock pieced back together!

[@RichardTClark396]

I binge watch this channel on weekends I’m starting early today 😂 love digging up old history!

[@rfbftp123]

Could you please do a video on the actual process of locating a pit? I live in new zealand and would love to know some methods to try here, thanks for all the videos nonetheless 🙏

[@bgierat]

My wife doesn’t understand why I am addicted to your videos but I just love watching. I want to start digging holes!

[@TakeTheRide]

Buy your wife a good/decent metal detector and find some place you can find things. That should draw her in.

[@EllenCFarmGirl]

It’s very relaxing!❤

[@wwjoesr]

Wow, I’ve never seen one of these before!!! Gotta love the enthusiasm 😊

[@NavyDocHM3]

That has to a cool feeling when you find something like this!!

[@Philip-gn8wx]

I admire your dedication to your chosen occupation... I have been enjoying watching your downloads... Thanks again to you and your crew.... Great editing and content.... Keep on digging...👍 Be Blessed and stay safe.... Happy to see that you're wearing gloves... Old outhouse dirt has to be loaded with all sorts of bacteria and disease.... Good job 👍

[@ABeautfulMess]

He restores carriages too..I saw an interview. Very talented guy

[@brockshields9336]

My very first comment since subscribing. Love that you were able to piece the Red Wing crock back together.

[@TakeTheRide]

I'd be happy to do your laundry after you dig and videotape your digging and help you dig. Thanks for the info. I have some old bottles like that. I learned stuff from you watching this. New subscriber here.

[@gregadamo4423]

Thank you for continuing to deliver great content . I always look forward to your next video!! I love the hunt for old treasures as I metal detect myself but just love your digs!!!

[@ToddTheJoker]

I look forward to your new episode Notifications every week guys!! thank you...great stuff!

[@jerrysadventures8952]

you never cease to amaze me on digging

[@bethcorey6022]

Tom do you have any plans to show us HOW you probe and figure out where to dig? That would be fascinating ❤❤

[@cmacb55]

Love your channel. I did a quick Google dive on the Spavin Cure. It contained opium. It made the community in Vermont where it was made fairly wealthy evidently.

[@dannmccord1923]

Boy Tom a bunch of awesome bottles. Boy your shoulders are going to hurt with that sunburn. Love your videos.❤❤❤❤❤

[@DWilt1969]

Hi Tom, ..great video, always love watching them and love your voice 😉

[@karenwright8556]

Always interesting what comes out in your digs. People sure had a lot of aches and pains,dependence on liquor and drugs, 🤔 not unlike today but more readily available and cheaper. No wonder some of those towns burned down or got so broken,the folks were either drunk,drugged or hungover.

[@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat]

Tom another series of amazing digs. Loved the Anoka Mn bottles. A lot of hard work, you continue to amaze us with your skill to find the privies. 👍👏👏😀

[@karennaturallyartby]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m hooked on your channel - this is fascinating

[@antonschulte9150]

Very nice bottles, congratulations! Could you do a video about how you clean and preserve your finds after you have dug them out of the old pits? And probably also about where and how you research all the additional information you give us about the brands, companies and their history? Also I would like to know if you ever found things wich were tossed out by accident, like coins, jewellery or silver items like cutlery. Thanks in advance and good luck finding some more interesting sites!

[@sekaf4125]

Love your videos. I haven’t seen where you talk about the meaning of words, use layer, tops of different bottles etc. watching from Alaska . Our town was started in the 1700’s. Wish you could dig here

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

The use layer is the actual poop pit of the outhouse. Applied top, tooled top, etc I don't know. It has to do with the way the bottle was made. I think applied top is older than the tooled top, but that's just a rookie's guess!

[@karynbrown7519]

Love watching your videos. It's always so interesting. Australia!

[@edwardallan197]

Interesting, well produced. Natural enuff for us to feel included tho!

[@catbee1452]

Hi Tom, I new to your channel. Loving watching your discoveries. How often do these sunken areas yield buried finds? Just curious as we live in an old area. Have you considered making a video for us amateurs that want to do some digging?

[@daviddarrall9384]

Always wonderful videos. Thank you 😊 UK.

[@marciajohnson6767]

Great video. I enjoyed watching what you find! Thanks so much 😊😊😊

[@samsager1]

As Jeff said, "Come on Tom, hutch me!" Awesome pits!! Good work Tom and Jake!!

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

Great pits and finds! Keep on digging!

[@imawehole]

Such cool finds. You do amazing things. ❤

[@JosephChick-ce6zx]

Another great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@gary.joseph]

You're awesome! Love your videos!

[@wadehendryx7378]

Nice. Great dig. Take care.

[@sharon22669]

I'd love to see what you'd find in the original 13 colonies! I'm in NJ and would love to find artifacts. Decades ago, my Dad found loads of glass in the trails by our house. Unfortunately, he passed away, and i have no idea how he found the pit.

[@gregsimonis230]

Hello Tom. From north west Ohio. Great video

[@mkilner]

Ahh no Kilner Jars this time!…love the videos! 😎

[@sekaf4125]

Thank you!

[@bethcorey6022]

I can’t wait for Saturday so I can see what you dig up❤❤

[@Marlon-vt8tt]

Love From TEXAS !!

[@sharondinwiddie308]

Good one. Thanks!

[@patty4091]

Some good digs for you!

[@janiesippel225]

When watching these videos, I find myself saying wait what’s the over there or wait you just passed over something……lol I would love to dig in a pit. 😊

[@birdie5382]

The iron screw was used as a "pick line" for the horses. The farms didn't have fences. The horses were put out in the meadows to graze with the pick line. When the horse had eaten the grass, he would be moved to another area.

[@bessiewilson1784]

Love the videos ❤

[@dougkruse1301]

Have you ever done any digs in Clifford North Dakota? Really find what you do very interesting.

[@mrrick3999]

When you're probing, how can you tell that you've hit ash? Hitting glass would be pretty easy to tell. Thanks, great videos.

[@melissalillegard7945]

Nice search.

[@dangray]

Thanks

[@phreespeech7768]

How far down do you generally have to dig before you hit the goods? It looks like some of those holes look more than 2 feet deep. I would love to excavate one of those old privy's, but would be highly pissed if I worked my ass off digging a 3 ft deep hole to find only a handful of not-so-special artifacts. Its a crap shoot I guess.

[@BelowthePlains]

haha yeah. we dig a bunch of holes that arent even worth uploading so its kind of a crapshoot. but generally its around 3 feet but sometimes its like 8 feet. and other times its literally a few inches. typically the stuff thats within 2 feet tends to be more broken, i think because they would fill them in with trash, and probably because the freezing and thawing damages them too. but its usually around 3 feet

[@squatchthumper7537]

Amazing dig!

[@kennethstickney8819]

Did you find the dog?😮

[@IceLynne]

You remind me of Dwight Yoakum the country singer. Do you sing? Just curious.

[@williamfrost8987]

The Bakelite case that you found is for a Gillette razor and the blades go on each side of the in the little square pieces

[@willong1000]

I find it interesting how some of the cast iron products of the era, such as that stove leg (notice the taper of the top portion), were designed to key or wedge together in assembly. I think that such designs would not only assemble more quickly, but be less prone to break during assembly.

[@pezozpezoz]

Probably a silly question, but do you metal detect the soil piles. And if you do, what are the general finds?🇦🇺

[@willong1000]

I can't read the fine print on that vintage enamelware advertisement displayed on screen at 6:45, but I'm willing to bet dollars-to-doughnuts that the $5.95 price was for the entire set of fifteen (or more) pieces illustrated.

[@lizsanders107]

When you say seeds what are they from or anyone ca answer if you know?

[@juliewierson6458]

My German grandfather, his three brothers and their dad were bootleggers. When the home place was ready to be burned, there were items that the resident brother buried. (He kinda lost his mind) We dug for two weeks finding China, glasses, silverware but no $$$. Most of it was buried in the earthen basement floor. When they eventually burned the house down my grandfather was worried about an explosion. He couldn’t remember which wall moved to hide the still. My cousin jumped into trying to find it be punching holes in the basement walls, zip, no explosion either.

[@Griefer-Gaming]

Yoooo lets dig into this shite Love the vids bro

[@g1stylempdesign929]

When your holding a Shoofly liquor flask in an old privy and a house fly lands on the flask. Just two species visiting a place our ancestors frequented.

[@beardedmisanthrope9274]

How do you tell you hit stove ash with the probe?

[@bruiserbuk]

Castoria isn't castor oil. Its active ingredient is senna, and it's delicious.

[@richardhunter8241]

Those Redwing crocks can go for crazy money.

[@johnmakin4337]

It wouldn’t hurt you to wipe them off a little bit better so we could see the bottle

[@ritahall8653]

Wow

[@ABeautfulMess]

You're the bomb diggity

[@michellesayer5230]

You mentioned digging on the east coast. Have You ever dug in Ohio?

[@dangeroustoman]

Would be nice if you would state the value of the bottles.

[@daisy2025-q7f]

Why don't you use a brush as to not break things?

[@RailCityRelics802]

That vermont piece from Bj Kendall had an Obscene amount of heroin in it, which in turn got a lot of their other products was heroin in it. In turn, it got their employees hooked down heroin. Intern, what's the town on heroin. I'm from Vermont about 15 minutes from where Kendall operated. My friends with the owner of the building where he produced his patent medicine. He also had a store front. He was swindled out of his company by his partners. This happened when he decided he needed to get away to get sober.

[@jaystrongbow6111]

1st and Ready. This pit is loaded? Hope so........

[@GiantGrasses]

Interesting to watch diamonds dug from dung holes

[@bigfluffy2277]

You often mention stove ashes when you are probing the ground yet we never see such evidence when you open the pit. Why not?

[@g1stylempdesign929]

Tom has his own New channel “ Tom Askjem “

[@deloradeabel8487]

When you say “We’re in it”everyone knows what that means!

[@victorhopper6774]

used a out house as a kid and never tossed anything in it

[@mabo3506]

treasures today were just old junk of the past. The fascination of time travel.

[@mekay235]

[@martinco712]

I can image what the people were wearing. No cars. maybe no electricity.

[@Ghostofachance-iw8pr]

A spavined horse has injured his hock (hind leg, anatomically like a human knee). I'm not sure where human flesh comes into the discussion. Always enjoy your videos.

[@karenwright8556]

Ghostofachan,It said it was for human flesh so they must have taken something harsh from the horse formula,so people could use it for rheumatism.

[@KerriHammond-mr2cy]

Do you ever worry that you may be digging a grave site? Have you ever?

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

That would be creepy!

[@ericvonp]

Ain’t no way to watch entire….I look to the end. I get it, but bottles, bottles, bottles can’t be your 401k. KZbin can only do so much.

[@terrancemiller8350]

Thanks, loved watching, well Mr twist-oh-flex, I know your great in bed. Much love, you are fun. Afriend.

[@johnmakin4337]

You could at least wipe them off a little bit better so we can see what you have found but no, you don’t care about us

[@duanewhite3184]

I hope you don't find the dog

Young sir you make me nervous to see you not wearing knee pads , who knows what bacteria could get in a cut on your knees. Love your show though.

[@ifandwhen-kl2cr]

So where’s the map? Bullshit.

[@ifandwhen-kl2cr]

“Found in an attic” BS

[@colincampbell7027]

Pipe stems were made of Vulcanite!!!! Not Bakelite. Different plastic type. Actually Vulcanite is a hardened rubber substance. Just so you know (and I've commented on several videos where you have found them). So I've established YOU DONT READ COMMENTS. So I'm done watching. Buhbye
