BOTTLE DIGGING TONS of 1860s-70s Medicines From Old West Sick Room Pit & Privies

[@diggingthewest7981]

All those misguided people wasting their time watching the History channel, while I'm watching bottle Ned.

[@swbottles]

Some good old 1870's bots coming out. I don't find many that old.

[@ValerieDee123]

They actually burned people's belongings that were infectious. Then it was buried. Speaking of snake oil. When you go into the the starting background of big pharma companies they started out as snake oil companies. During WWII Bayer manufactured xyclon B. It was the gas used in the "showers". Great finds! Awesome video.

Nice digs Ned! Heard that! Nothing like sledging to work out frustration! I demo old houses and barns for salvage and it works like a charm!😜

[@tomfrazier1103]

You haven't seen a dug rug until you unravel a pea green shag with shovel. There's a unique Hilo Owl Drug.the wire heart might have been an armature for paper or live flowers. Wash that comb out & use it! Sift that dirt!! Was that Spanish stoneware? All I see is British around here. Napoleon III on that shave mug? My sifters are still for sale in American Digger. That rake-tines up-watch it. I've been to Vichy, neat place. Waters and pastilles, candy made of the mineral salts in the water. That''s a good old soda siphon, I now have a high quality small collection of Hawaiian ones. Was looking for an Ewa Plantation Soda Co. one the other day. Few scattered Hutch frags.

Some awesome finds coming out enjoyed the video

[@bruceritchie4382]

We all love the long video's Neddy boy. 3 privies and a sick room trash pit. Wow!! How exciting. And to top it all off an environmental clean up and schooling. How delicious. 🤤

[@SaltwaterSean]

Great bottle discoveries Ned.

[@TheNatureChanell]

Yo Ned! I've watched hundreds of different diggers And none of them made me quivers Then I found you And after full review I can't get enough You are a diamond in the rough So please keep posting So we can keep toasting To your fabulous finds And your creative mind Thank you!

[@BottleNed]

Thanks for the rhyme - it made my bottles shine !

[@ironmidden867]

That's an absynthe spoon! Killer dig!

[@Relicdigger]

Do you keep blank pontils or the plates/mugs you dig up? Thanks for the video! Was very entertaining, planning to dig my first privy this spring!

[@loopyu2y]

Dont ever change the 80s style intro music! Crazy info about the sick room. Diggin in ontario im sure ive rummaged though some sick room items

[@scrollflask5981]

You are in the right area for bottles and artifacts. Good job👍

[@debraporch7888]

Ned, Thanks for the longer video, I really enjoyed it. It is so cool that the trash you find from digging can tell a story about the people that once lived there. The bottles of color were amazing, were you able to tell what was inside the clear marble? How are you able to tell the different types of glass? Since you mention flint glass. Thank you for taking us along your journey of saving history. I love the owl drug bottles . I had no idea the Owl Drug Co. manufactured so many different types of bottles, I thought they were just a medicine co. I wished I lived in Cali just to have an opportunity to dig with you. Take care Ned and stay safe. 🎄Merry Christmas🎅

[@BottleNed]

Thanks Deb! Yes - I think the coolest part of about digging up old trash are the stories that it tells, and i'm thankful for the opportunities I get to share these lost stories with everyone & educate ppl on the ordinary, everyday history of the old west. There was a sulfide lion in the middle of the cracked marble :) Merry Christmas

[@steven2212]

Very pleased to see your post, look forward to them. You also pull the coolest stuff.

[@rockeytellman7657]

The owl is also a symbol of the KGC.

[@seandefreitas2699]

Your a funny dud Ned keep the great video's coming .

[@twistedjypsee9226]

Where do you find the long poker thing you probe the ground with to find pits?

[@rockeytellman7657]

I'm pretty sure that the circular pyramidal shaped bottle (which kinda looks like an ink bottle),is a an old mentholatum bottle that screws into a metal vaporizer infuser.

[@michaelpadilla8020]

I started laughing at the one piece.. Kept think maybe a really fancy opium pipe...

[@longdatedoptionsleaps6112]

Love the added history on the various brands of bottles 👍… also where is the Chuckster… very funny on the SJW stuff at the end of the video 😁

[@ant-1382]

We would go and dig these sites, knowing full well that excavortors were coming. And they would chase us out! Why! so everything could be destroyed. To what end. Save some history.

[@rockeytellman7657]

Amazing finds, you guys!!! Great diggin'

[@rockeytellman7657]

Absolutely insane finds!

[@tamran127]

Hi Ned 👋🏻! I wish I could tag along (notice I didn’t say come) on one of your digs. I live in the east bay and also have a cabin in Sierra City. You have anything lined up?Would you please invite me some day?

[@BottleNed]

Hi Tamara ! Our crew members are all covered under one insurance cert so for now I can’t bring ppl on these sites for liability reasons but maybe someday when I can get some funding for this or whatever & then ppl could tag along for educational purposes ! At least that’s my idea. For now I’m trying my best to bring everyone along by filming these digs! Glad you’re enjoying them!

[@rockeytellman7657]

The heart was Jesse James' symbol. I found one similar here in Missouri.

[@BryanM362]

Bottle Ned is a freak! I mean that in a good way!

[@andreabontempo643]

So in orfer to dig theses sites you have tog get insurance? What if people want to dig in old sites? Would they have to get insurance?

[@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545]

Awesome dig guys👍🙂

[@johnkandyface9798]

great digs very funny

[@jimmcdees1341]

UK, when I get home from work and see who alls posted some content outa all my bottle digging channels ned, I prefer watching you! EVERYONE else is doing exactly the same thing, you however are city getting it! In places that are totaly different than I'd look here in Southern Wisconsin! However I learned how to find those places Noone thinks about watching you! Ntm your more my speed these other guys are so prim and proper it's sickening

[@bullfrog8935]

The kid in the pit towards the end needs to take it easy. bull in a bottle shop

[@markclelland3510]

I picture a guy with a cup decorating business. Maybe his spelling was bad or his grip was bad and he had to keep chucking them in the privy 😁

[@irishtino1595]

I think you found a glass opium pipe there @ 37:00

[@rockeytellman7657]

Remington gun oil? I rest my case.

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

top job 👍👍

[@waynetywater7267]

Its depressing seeing all the broke bottles all the pieces of history lost.

[@tinabenavidez1903]

Look where San Francisco is now.

[@chriscourson2824]

How much are those Goodyear combs worth?

[@alnielsen8212]

I love the digging posts and the cool western stuff you find but mute the conversation. The profanity offends me and it shows definite immaturity but bang on! This is only me talking but I am a western digger and collector who was bitten by the bottle bug in 1965. Western bottles rule!

[@rockeytellman7657]

The pot handle is a "J"

[@markcarter4504]

Hunter Biden would love the glass works.🙂

[@oldtimerf7602]

Bet the Boswell's was an English bottle.

[@rockeytellman7657]

22:50 in to the vid is bone.

[@5xsanfordlife945]

You dug a lot of nice botts especially after cleaned yet none interest you are you just looking for a Bryants Bitters lol ?

[@ObligedObserver]

Amateur archaeology at it’s finest. I wonder what happened to the broken pieces.

[@BottleNed]

They’re on this video for you to see and be educated by

[@MartiansSkateKrew]

Are you suggesting diggers should keep every broken piece they find? Do you want a sample of the dirt? Should I keep the seeds I dig in privies? Come on now...

[@BottleNed]

In archeology, all things contained within a site, broken or whole, are analyzed & recorded so as to paint a picture of what happened on the site. To keep every little fragment would require a warehouse, and sadly, most everything on sites where soil is being disturbed ends up crushed in a landfill unless it is discovered by someone, & preferably documented, which is one of the things I’m trying to do in these videos. All trash tells a story ! And I want the stories of our past to live on !!

[@MartiansSkateKrew]

@@BottleNed right on. Love the vids, Ned. Keep them coming!
