Bottle digging in an 1880’s New England dump

[@terrinelson2677]

Just discovered your channel. Would be awesome if you put an estimated age on the finds that you dig up. That is always interesting 👍😊

[@bouncerslabrealnature9143]

It's almost time to get out digging again but the brush isn't high enough and the morel mushrooms will be popping soon..🎉

[@oldwoodentrunkadventures]

I can’t wait. The snow is gone and things are starting to grow again. We have some great spots to hunt this year. 😊

[@daveblackburn5393]

Super finds. So much fun when ya find a site with that age to it👍🍻⛏

[@oldwoodentrunkadventures]

Thanks Kevin. Can’t wait to see what else we find here, this place has been a month maker so far.

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

Loving the finds well done

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

The inkwell is a beauty, one I don't have in my collection. Awesome finds!💖

[@oldwoodentrunkadventures]

Thank you Cynthia. Cory was so happy to find that for his first find. A definite treasure. Thank you for watching!

[@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat]

So fun watching you pull all of those beautiful bottles. The Sanford inkwell was my favorite. Guess on the little thin glass tube, maybe used to crush pills into powder.

[@oldwoodentrunkadventures]

Thank you! That ink is an awesome piece, Im a little jealous it was Cory’s first find! This was a super fun dig. Cory and I together can get some work done. We spent a total of 5 hours on this one. Far to many for one video. The 2nd half of this dig next week 😊 some really great bottles. Thank you for watching!

[@LancashireLarks]

Always amazes me how a light bulb stays in one piece in all the rubble. Some nice finds guys 🙌 there was a small bottle sticking out the side at 5.52 when ya pulled out the Red Cross bottle. Looked like a nice ink pot.

[@oldwoodentrunkadventures]

Completely agree it is amazing the don’t break. Thank you! That was definitely an ink at 5:52. I can’t remember if we saw that one. I’m thinking it was broke but maybe we missed it 😂. Thank you for watching!

[@regenacooper1817]

The small glass tube is either a piece from an old glass syringe or from an old thermometer.

[@mikejohnson515]

You find lots of Listerine bottles but not many early Listerine Tooth Powder tins, even rusted!

[@oldwoodentrunkadventures]

It is pretty cool. Even as an antique collector and dealer I had never seen one. I was pretty amazed by it. Love to find one in nice condition.

[@knighthart5068]

Got a question for you? On the bottom of a bottle is just the number 50 its brown not sure if it was beer or what but since im new to this what does the 50 mean?

[@oldwoodentrunkadventures]

Great question! Tough answer though. More than likely it is the mold number the bottler used for that particular bottle style. Sometimes it’s a date.

[@bruceritchie4382]

1964 I was 5.. Are you interested in selling the igloo ink? If not I would most definitely understand. I've been digging for about 5 years and have never sold a bottle. Also should you find another Igloo please keep me in mind. I feel the small tube was a plunger or an applicator of sorts. My last two days of digging all I found was a marble for each day : ( Thanks guys. See ya's on the next. Bottle in the hole

[@oldwoodentrunkadventures]

Hey Bruce, don’t think we want to sell this one but definitely would sell you the next one we find like it! I agree with you on the plunger idea. I was thinking maybe an old syringe or something. Happy hunting out there, we haven’t found a marble yet this year! Can’t wait! Thanks for the support Bruce. See you on the next one!

[@realitychange]

how do you get the inside so clean

[@oldwoodentrunkadventures]

Great question. On a one family dump like this one. It’s on a hillside that drains really well so the bottles come out pretty clean already. First soak em, course salt and a drop of dish soup and shake. It’s peels off most of the loose stuff inside. If it’s stained then I usually don’t show them. I feature the clean ones but lots are stained and require tumbler to clean.

[@SteveggStevegg]

Maybe a glass mixing stirrer.

[@thelostdogs2328]

Iodine medicine dauber. The glass tube.

Light bulb filament. J.Au-en

[@oldwoodentrunkadventures]

You nailed it. I did end up figuring it out and mentioned it in the video after that one. Thanks for the help.

[@susangolden4001]

Part of a syringe more than likely.

[@oldwoodentrunkadventures]

That is what we thought as well 😊 We actually discovered they are from inside old light bulbs. We have found a lot of them since.

[@barrywainwright3391]

Are you guys kind of new at hobby because you don't seem like you really know much about what you are finding. That round bottom bottle is not a torpedo. Torpedo bottles are more pointed. Some of the things you are finding I find in 1930's dumps.

[@oldwoodentrunkadventures]

Yes Larry this video is over a year old and at the time I had only just started digging. I documented every dig from the day I started and learned a lot. If you watched a more recent video, you could see that.
