Digging Another Pontil Privy! More Pits & Bottles Dug on Civil War Era Train Depot Lot

[@kennethstickney8819]

The item you referred to as a creamer is an invalid feeder🤪

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Awesome! Thanks for that info!

[@maggieg7673]

That broken glass is very beautiful to an classed artist

[@detecting_with_matt3643]

Awesome dig!! Thanks for sharing the awesome dig!

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Thanks for watching Matt! Got some killer stuff in the last pits on this lot which will be in the next video. Then the video AFTER that we had some insaneeeee finds

[@kellyanderson965]

Awesome dig guys!! I love your videos. That scroll flask is a heartbreaker. Haven't dug a complete one myself yet in 24 years. I have dug one of those travelers companions in Amber. Dug it in New Bern NC. Dig on brothers!!! ⛏️🕳️☠️

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Thanks so much Kelly that really means a lot! Killer find on the travelers companion! In amber too, even better! Glad you enjoyed! I won't spoil it, but the last few pits on this lot (next video coming) were pretty sweet!!

[@kellyanderson965]

😎 awesome!! I'm subscribed... So it will let me know. You got me excited now!! Bottles are literally my life!! Dig on brothers!! ⛏️🕳️ EPIC

Those British they were all over from Baghdad to America amazing people

Easy way to recover the whiskey flask. Clean and apply clay around bottle as 2-part mold. Remove mold, put flask aside. Pare down the surface anomaly fitting the flask surface features. Kiln fire the clay. Blow glass bottle inside, pontill the base, and tool the lip - VOILA !!!

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Interesting idea John..

[@rickybrogden898]

I enjoyed your video. The flask was a Cryer, however it does have a good display side!

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Thanks Ricky! Absolutely. Still a cool find

[@idaho2ndgens240]

Some old stuff came out of that one pit, wow. I lived in Keene, on Marlborough St while in college. Some great glass even though it was broken. Thanks for taking me along.

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Thanks for watching!! Next video will be even more pits on this same lot! Should have it done sometime in the next few days or so

[@nydiggersteve7047]

Nice pits fellas, that skinny pit had some great stuff in it, even though broke.. Love the Wellington 😢

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Thanks Steve! Was a fun, quick, yet heartbreaking pit to dig. Would have loved to pull that Wellington intact!! Would be up there in one of the best bottles I've ever dug. Did you see the first pit we dug on this lot with the threadless insulators?

[@nydiggersteve7047]

@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers I didn't see it in this one, was it another video? I'll have to check it out.

The frosted cosmetic lotion bottle with the Diamond I makers mark is the Illinois Glass Company Alton, IL ... before Owens-Illinois merger (1929). This bot would then be in the period of art deco (mid- - late 1920s).

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

I'm confused on the "correction" John. I said Art Deco in the video lol

[@johnlord8337]

@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers Yes, if you say art deco then its art deco. But the base embossing is a very large diamond I (not the Owens-Illinois diamond O I (1929-). So the bot is actually older as an Illinois Glass, but as an art deco it can only be in the same period as many of the other bots in that privvy and layer in the mid- - late 1920s (1920-1929). Still a good find ...

[@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat]

Great video and awesome finds. You all work so well together.👏👍

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Thanks !!

[@davidwhitten2097]

The piece of blue milk glass at about 46:25 is from a milk glass stein, there were many embossed designs in shades of blue, green, custard, yellow milkglass, etc and they were made by several companies including Westmoreland and Greentown, in the 1910s, 1920s and some that look similar were made later. Often the scene shows what looks like old German tavern drinking scenes, they were copied off the "look" of old German pottery steins. You can do a google keyword search and find similar ones.

Happy New Year from New York God-bless you All 🙏

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Thanks Tarra! Happy new year 🎉

[@erikkellenberger5247]

Throughout my life I have fantasized about traveling back in time for a variety of reasons now that I am a bottle digger I imagine going back and finding two guys on the back of a wagon knocking the tops off soda bottles. You can use your imagination on how I would intervene

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Hahaha 🍻

[@erikkellenberger5247]

Yea boy!!!!

[@johnlord8337]

The Watkins bottle (by their own words) - unknown exact year, but probably by the 1920s or early 1930s have a threaded-style lip for a screw-on lid. Still digging in the 1920s-30s era bots.

[@shakascloset1700]

Awesome sad finds.

[@johnlord8337]

You need to make friends with a local glassworker. Get them to properly heat up those cracked bottles and reweld the fracture and restore the bottle to pristine.

[@TheTigerQuoll]

Hard for those bottles to survive 170 years of frost cycles,better luck for the next dig.

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

These were deep enough to where frost wouldn't be a factor. But glass this old, pontiled stuff and stuff close to it, is typically thinner / more fragile glass. Prone to breaking unfortunately. Thanks for watching!!

In the ground it’s always a cozy 55 degrees !

[@iswhatitis2744]

Show us the bottles you didn’t want the homeowner to see

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Lol good one.. Unfortunately what you see is what we got. No reason to hide anything from the homeowner. We always give them some of what we find

[@iswhatitis2744]

@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers LOL , Good one. I started bottle digging in 1970 on the West Coast. Old timer here believe me bottle karma you’ll find out ,honesty is the best policy

[@user-ng2op2ix8z]

Good stuff, but you guys need to edit 'em down to bring in more viewers.

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Not sure what you mean? I edit them and try to make them as short as possible but don't want to leave out any key parts or decent footage. I personally enjoy watching other digging videos that are longer. As long as the footage and finds are interesting in some way

[@dougrichey7921]

Good bottle diggin adventures. Enjoy watching you guys. But that music is sooooo..... boring and slooooowwww..... puts me to sleep. The Doors fans probably like it. I think it stinks!!!! Love watching - hate the music.

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Glad you enjoyed the video Doug and appreciate the feedback!
