Bottle Digging Tools And Techniques

[@jaclynisaacs6763]

Me and my 5 year old son love watching your channel. You teach me so much and make me so excited to get out and hunt.

[@andrewnixon4469]

Have you ever thought of doing a bottle collection video? I would love to see those all cleaned up and hear about some of their history, as I'm sure others would as well. Love your vids Beau, keep having fun

[@Ozcreepycrawly]

Mate you're a legend..and yes you have to do more of these dry land digs..great looking bottle.

[@roy99669]

I would love to see more bottle digging videos.

[@anselb2000]

That last bottle was a fantastic jewel! Finding one that old means there are more like it around there! Can't wait until you go back.

[@MrGrimreaper45678]

definitely do another video, can never watch enough bottle digging!

[@michaeltaylor7911]

Beau Ouimette, thank you so much for pronouncing your name. I have such a hard time saying Ouimette when I tell people about you and what you do. It may be funny to you, but I have so many friends that subscribed to you and like me watch everything. I'm not Brown nosing, I just really appreciate what you do. My daughter who is four loves watching u dive n dig. Beau, you inspire and help with these videos more than you would think. Sincerely, thank you.

[@michaeltaylor7911]

Beau Ouimette , also. I think that Buffalo bottle is the coolest bottle I've watched someone find on here. have you done any research on it to see exactly what came in it? sounds like some kind of tonic water or something. maybe spring water. Idk. please reply and let me know if you know. thanks again.

[@VOODOOWRATH]

Yeah Beau I love your adventures whether in the water or on land they are always funny and entertaining!! Film the bottle dig!!!!

[@jimthompson9992]

Excellent Beau! Most definitely you need to video more from this area! Love the old bottles!

[@ryansmith9847]

That Buffalo Water bottle is a keeper for sure. Liked it a lot. Definitely should go back and do a part deux. Thanks Beau!

[@robertsalmi6472]

Been watching you for years! Dood you're not right! That's why I continue watching!

[@si1verbu11et]

It never fails, someone always gives you a thumbs down. Maybe they are just jealous of Mr. Chigg. But anyway, thanks for putting these awesome finds here for us all to enjoy!

[@winnnerxx]

please always tape I in joy your video so mush and get to see things I can no longer do because of my back and leg from truck wreck a few years ago thank you so much

[@robbyschemonia3089]

I am a tree trimmer in so. Illinois, I mainly climb, I have a saw exactly like that one that I use on small branches that don't warrant starting a chainsaw 30 feet up. love it, cuts clean and fast.

[@rhinorinehart8066]

I started at age 13 digging in Bean Creek, bottle hunting. Love bottles !! Thanks for sharing.....Rhino

[@jtostros]

I will never hunt for artifacts like you do, but I still enjoy your videos. They are always interesting and enjoyable. Thanks for good, clean, entertaining content!

[@matthewschultz3601]

great final find. made the day worthwhile

[@thesierrastandard7281]

I like how you say Ahh not too old only the turn of the century. When I find a bottle from the 20s im jumping up and down with joy lol.

[@Five3Design]

Wow!! Very great finds! Please please please!!! Please with cherries on top, make another video at this spot! :)

[@WallysPlace66]

Yes! Definitely go back. We like the bottles. Very nice.

[@adventuresunknown1013]

Beau, I especially love the Buffalo bottle at the end. And yes I would like to see "moar" videos on this dig site.

[@Dirtflicker]

Buffalo Lithia water bottles are awesome. They come in different colors and variations. Nice find.

[@shawnsnider9755]

I would like to see ur future bottle hunt when u go back......I love seeing anything from the past brought up and shared......thanks so much for making these videos Beau...I like how u explain the history to on alot of what u find or film

[@VaughanCole]

i like your underwaters videos most, but I love rooting around in the old dump sites a lot too, thanks for sharing

[@kokkonutfreaks]

Most favorite video Beau has ever posted! Another way to tell how old a bottle is how high the seem goes.

[@kokkonutfreaks]

You should make some more digging videos :)

[@nhotmyereahlnheyme2964]

+kokonutfreaks This is actually mostly a legend created by those bottle reference books. I've got a book that says that the lower the seam stops, the older the bottle is, and this is complete BS. If the seam goes all the way up to the top, it was made by an automatic bottle machine, and dates sometime after the early 1900's. If the seam disappears under the lip it's an applied lip, which was generally phased out by the 1880's in the US but isn't a foolproof dating system and continued into the 30's in the UK. If the seam fades out on the neck it's a tooled lip, which means that if it's American it probably dates from before roughly WWI. That's really all the seam tells you. The only guaranteed way to date a bottle is if it's got a date code (for 20th century bottles) or by researching the company that made it.

[@kokkonutfreaks]

+Nhotmyereahl Nheyme thanks, I learned some things, I usually use the date code if it has it.

[@downtonviewer]

Ooooo. A Buffalo Lithia Water bottle! Niiiiice. Now I'm inspired to get my buddy and go bottle hunting. I think I know of some good spots. Old house, up a bit of a bluff by the river. I live in rural Tennessee so there's tons of that kind of thing here. Thanks Beau!

[@JiminWesternMass]

This is a nice how to video! I've been digging for stuff over a half century (dumping & detecting) and still feel I need to learn more... especially techniques!

[@si1verbu11et]

That last find was awesome! Can't wait to see your return trip!

[@thehomegardener]

You know how everyone lost a Go Pro. Well I lost a few Bottles lol. Man that is awesome! I would die for a find like that. Try Denture tablets to clean them out.

[@mauri7334]

Thank you for the info....Love finding old bottles! Would love to see more, definitely do more Videos at this site, very exciting!

[@KylesTechChannel01]

That Buffalo Lithia Water bottle is worth around $200. In around 1886 the company began hand bottling the water from the springs that was said to have medicinal value and transport it to the nearest railroad where it would be sent off in 12 bottle cases.

[@throngcleaver]

+Kyle's Tech Channel I just looked on eBay for them, under Sold Auctions, and they have sold in the last month from $10.00 to $150.00. I'm sure there are many different sizes, colors and ages that will determine the value. I hope Beau does some research after it's cleaned up and will let us know what it's worth.

[@katiejohnston8620]

Why do i care

[@rikvansolkema801]

i've just recently started watching your video's, and I have been no-living it haha. I really like your vids!!!

[@aidenb4665]

[@jasonsulham9495]

[@queen4evr125]

[@dannyraleigh7773]

Love the bottle digging , reminds me of when I was a kid . Used to dig in the dump on my grandfathers land. Found everything from baseball cards to ww1 rifle.

[@mikeknobldiggin]

Definitely go back! I was never bottle hunting but always wanted to.

[@stevenhurt8896]

Great video, Beau; beautiful bottle. And, yes, I'd like to see more of your bottle digging adventures.

[@SpiritofWildWings]

[@RusinMM]

You are really interesting person. Thank you for all video.

[@SnacPacCraz]

I too have a Viking Digger. The best around for sure. Buddy was nice enough to drill a hole through the handle for me so I could put a strap on it as I tend to loose my tools. Recommend it - it will out live me !

[@josiahlynn1995]

I have just recently started watching your videos and they are great! Over the last few years I've found some old bottles and jars and am planning on making it a hobby now! If you ever find yourself in East Tennessee and want to do some bottle digging let me know!

[@Gopertaddyman]

Great Video Beau! Your the best!! Way to go!! Very informative!

[@christinatravis6686]

[@zacharycurtis8025]

Quin's Coins iuuuytfddee rh mmm kl

[@MegaTriumph1]

Beau the video that I really liked was you on your bike out exploring. That was fun.

[@bergmanstrook]

What a beautiful old bottle.

[@busboy2026]

Beau your luck is insane ... Just keep doing what you do

[@389rockford]

please post more bottle digging videos thanks! love your vids

[@dhoffner1591]

Electrolosis with a mason jar lid?? I guess i can only ask you to make a video about that one! I have a few coins and things id like to do that to and experiment with... This idea sounds interesting!!! Plus, i can probably get a bunch of those lids!! Thanks Beau!!! Thanks for showing and teaching the stuff that you do!

[@nhotmyereahlnheyme2964]

+Don Hoffner you need an electrode in the water, and if you use a stainless steel kitchen utensil you end up with some nasty carcinogenic stuff in the water. Zinc wouldn't have the same chemical reaction. I'm not sure if the functionality of the electrolysis would be improved or not, but it not killing you would certainly be a plus.

[@janlester4399]

I asked Beau about this too...he said it's a different process that does not involve electricity, but does involve lye.

[@agenius7343]

Nice Lithia water. One of my favorites. I have the same bottle.

[@shanemaunder399]

Thankyou soon much for your upload and reply.. Ive watched all your videos and I check in every night to see if there's a new one :D

[@2000singincowboy]

sure am glad you found those battery parts... found some a while back and had no idea what they were...

[@DaleMcLain]

Very cute how you say "bartles" for bottles! :) Great video, as usual!

[@57fitter]

+dale mclain  He learned to speak near Bawston. Therefore, bawtles. and bawtom of the river.

[@oldrustyrooster7492]

Hello Beau, Nice Lithia water bottle. Never saw one of those. I fairly sure the Watkins bottle was for Liniment. Common around old farming/working home sites. Good video, Thanks for taking the time...ORR

[@wolfedavid3700]

at 2135 that bottle looks familiar....nice find ....remember..folks back then drank mineral water...buffalo lithia water...we have these in rural south Carolina....Charleston s.c. manhy sodas and blobs...kind of rare...

[@morrischisholm7214]

[@horsesrock5499]

At 18:45 when u switched screens or whatever, I jumped so much and almost had a heart attack from something that wasn't even scary! Lol

[@misselliebenton]

Great video!! I've watched a lot of your metal detecting videos also!

[@djpuffthethird]

Have to say that was quite the find at the end there. Great embossing and lettering , and I bet if you got the brushes in there , it cleaned up really well . If I had an item like that in my collection i'd be really pleased. So you must be already . .

[@wallykorona7713]

great video, thanx for the tool tips. keep um comming!

[@harnesshorses]

I don't know if you heard of Centralia, PA, but it is the site of a huge underground fire which will burn forever. It was started by a resident burning trash against a hillside slope in a backyard. The fire caught into the underground coal vein and history was made. The town was evacuated and torn down over the years. My family originated there.

[@kaltahathaway9320]

Hi. Kat here, fellow bottle digger enthusiast. I caught your mention of Centralia. It is like a ghost town...abandoned houses, nature taking over the roads, sink holes, etc.,. As of a few years ago, fires were still burning under the town as well. Smoke can be seen seeping through sinkholes in the earth and roadways. There are still some people living there...I figure they just refused to abandon their homes and continue on... making due somehow. I have a few pics if your interested.

[@kadewesner3964]

Yeah definitely do more bottle hunting

[@juedwayne4972]

just found ur channel cant get ova all that cool stuff u find makes me want do it. its mental

[@56Axis]

[@themobleys]

[@kitgarvin9253]

The knife you found on the river looks like a gerber. Love the channel

[@farmall1951c]

THAT WATER BOTTLE IS GREAT FIND.

[@alexwatkins8922]

Watkins makes herbs, extracts, and spices I believe

[@AmericasFavoriteLawnBoy]

I learned from watching my cat to cover your trail 😂 good job

[@ronaldlewis8452]

Great videos! Amazing finds...

[@joeframo3347]

Hello bow hello from Atlanta Georgia I really enjoyed your presentation thank you for sharing

[@thekingsservant1104]

You gotta go back and show us what else is there!!

[@whydoweHistory]

I think that bottle came from near where I live here in Virginia there's a place called Buffalo Springs where in the1800s they sold the bottled water and sold it claiming it had medicinal value, p.s ive dank some from that spring where it still stands today and its like mineral water
