DIGGING DEEP FOR ANTIQUE BOTTLES!!! 110 YEAR OLD BOTTLES!!! BOTTLE DIGGING ALABAMA!

[@ccsaintsulne4021]

My dad was digging in the drive way to connect wires from the house to the shed, and he found about 20-30 110 year old bottles. Some were organic milk bottles, and some other type of bottles. Months before his finds, I found a 200 year old civil war police or army cuff button. The ups of having an old house 😊

[@5280Adventures]

I thoroughly enjoy watching these vids! Looks like some great history down there. Thanks for sharing.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate every bit of support given!

[@terrymorgan4714]

Nice bottles Brandon and Clayton awesome.

[@kathymoll7010]

That looks like so much fun. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@babybyrd2121]

Lovely trip! The photography was steady and slow allowing me to “search” for myself as well as looking at what you found. And as always your inclusion of the wonderful world of nature is awe inspiring. For someone who stays inside most of the time, it’s incredible to almost experience it myself. Thank you once again.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks Lynn! That really means a lot!

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

Some awesome finds coming out enjoyed the video

[@tomfrazier1103]

For those embedded bottles-an old big screwdriver or a large carving fork. The shovel seems a bit clumsy. A friend digs in the face with a Springsteel probe.

[@yerdigginitmetaldetecting]

That looks like lots of fun, a bit of work but well worth it. 😎

[@adventurearchaeology]

Definitely!

[@TheRoadsWeRoam]

Love that cave-in in the opening

[@adventurearchaeology]

It was a decent size cave in for sure!

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

good job, guys ! Thumbs up as always...

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks Discovery!

[@brentobrien6642]

Just found you guys by chance today. Really enjoying your finds

[@AdventureIndiana]

Awesome video. We finally thawed out up here, now we have tons of rain. Great finds!

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks!

[@ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

What an amazing area to hunt. Thanks for sharing your great finds. Take care.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks!

[@BGTech1]

Those old dumps won’t hurt the environment because it’s mostly inert stuff like glass but modern dumping sites are mostly plastic and other stuff that leaches into the groundwater

[@digginghistorytasmania3897]

Awesome dig guys and amazing bottles thanks for sharing enjoyed watching 👍👍👍👍👍

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks for watching!

[@BrianClunie]

Those are some huge holes, thank you for sharing!

[@adventurearchaeology]

They are massive! Thanks for watching!

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

THANK YOU !!!!

[@HistorySeekers]

Another great video in the books! I love seeing those deep holes as long as I didnt have to dig them or fill them in!

[@adventurearchaeology]

Lol just wait Heath! Ill have you in one before its over!

[@tomfrazier1103]

Last year last Hutch #17 4 lyph, as the Hip Hop guys used to say. A duplicate of my first ever Hutch, Waialua Soda Works 4 PC. mold. Weakly struck-worn mold? A fun hobby, holding out for a paniolo (cowboy camp) a little way away near Makua. 4 sites, 17 Hutchs. Last year found loads of broken Hawaii Codds, and 3 from Los Angeles.

[@theIncredibleMRQUICK]

LOVE YOUR SHOW! Being from Ottawa Canada this show gets me through the winter snowy months when i can't dig. I have to say it kills me to watch you guys pull out so many sodas not to mention those "common bottler" hutches that puts tears in my eyes considering i have never found one. if ever you want to sell a spare bottle or two I'm interested. Wayne.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks Wayne! I do have an Ebay store that I sell a few bottles on. The seller name is southerdiggers feel free ro check it out!

[@HDshovelEd]

Looks like fun even though it's tough work

[@adventurearchaeology]

It is a blast!

[@MrJoey1970]

a guy sold one of the Pepsi bottles at our local flea market for more than the 25 thousand book price because it was such a nice bottle.

[@broadstken]

At a little over 7 minutes in, you were talking about cutting broken tops off. I've done that on a few now and had good results. I found out that thicker walled bottles cut really nicely with my tile saw and the cut edges clean up with some wet sanding. I tried cutting some thinner glass but it tended to chip and get a rough edge so I need to figure out a better way to cut those. I don't know about using them as drinking glasses but they look good on a window sill with some flowers in them.

[@adventurearchaeology]

A tile saw makes total sense! Ill have to give it a shot!

[@broadstken]

@@adventurearchaeology You just have to go slow with them. I turn the bottle against just the leading edge of the blade and go a little deeper on each turn. Definitely get a face shield and gloves though because if it decides to come apart you'll get nasty slivers flying at you. If you give it a try I'd like to see how they come out

[@adventurearchaeology]

If I do I will make a video haha!

[@HeartbreakerRelics]

Awesome Brandon! I really enjoy watching your videos. Arrowhead hunting is my favorite pastime but I really enjoyed bottle hunting back in the 70s. Continued good luck to you!

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks Spike!

[@hurricanemike4084]

Hey Brandon, that marble at the beginning of the video is a cobalt. I found and sold several for $100 each! That is awesome! There are many to be found in my area. That is the prettiest one I have ever seen . Some of the clay ones came from Codd bottles. Kids would break them to get the marble. The one that I sent you a picture of has to be from 1872 .

[@tomfrazier1103]

Have found Codds from Los Angeles & Honolulu-too bad all broken.

[@DiggingCanuck]

Totally enjoyed that !!

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks Liz!!

[@baltimorebottledigger3900]

You were directly in your shadow when you found that poison. Sunlight would of helped the camera focus. Another great dig.

[@adventurearchaeology]

You are right! Haha I am a terrible camera man!

[@baltimorebottledigger3900]

Your videos are the best. Just a heads up on the shadow deal.

[@CanadianHistoryHunter]

Always enjoy your videos! Cant wait till the snow here in Canada melts so I can get out bottle digging again

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks!

[@martindriver6026]

I like watching you guys and your digging. But it makes me anxious thinking of you guys getting buried, especially when Clayton is in deep over his head. Thanks be safe

[@preserving_the_past]

Awesome video Brandon, man I love some of those bottles absolutely beautiful looking. Thanks for sharing. Until next time HH&GL *Chris*

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks Chris!

Nice finds! That rock was huge, be careful!

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks! We had to switch directions we were digging on account of that rock!

[@bamaslamma29]

Your channel is my favorite bottle hunting channel! Any tips on digging for bottles in Montana?

[@adventurearchaeology]

Hmmm possibly look around the old gold mining camps?!?

[@bamaslamma29]

@@adventurearchaeology thanks! Never thought of that.

[@talesnevertold]

Great Intro!

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks Bruce!

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

Brandon, you had some great finds! I'll take that hutch, if y'all don't want it! :-) The med with the anchor was awesome, and isn't that the way it goes: you buy one, then you dig one! But you had some nice sodas from the huge hole, before it decided to hide the rest of its secrets! Thanks for a great video!

[@adventurearchaeology]

It definitely hid its secrets! Haha

[@marydegenkolb9603]

Just found your channel, and subscribed. I love old bottles and am from Satsuma Alabama. My family is from Boaz. I also detect in the good weather. I currently live on the Georgia coast near Savannah and Brunswick. Great video, but please be careful and wear gloves please. Don't need to get hurt.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks Mary! Welcome to the channel!

[@debrabrooks6138]

Could you please show us the cleaned up bottles? Would be awesome to see that!

[@adventurearchaeology]

Debra we would but the bottles from this video still havent been cleaned haha! We dig so many its hard to make time to clean them all!

[@debrabrooks6138]

Great dig! Thanks for sharing! I wonder if you ever thought of collecting the old broken bottles to tumble the glass or for remelting like for glass blowing?

[@adventurearchaeology]

We never have!

[@ot1402]

I bet them old timers would blow a gasket if they knew what their bottles were worth now a days!

[@primal-cobalt]

Hello! I'm a Japanese bottle digger, but I was very surprised that there was such a bottle in such a deep place. But it looks fun. I would like to dig by all means if there is an opportunity. By the way, I'm also a famous bottle digger in Japan. I'm glad if you see my video if you like.

[@adamgoldbroach940]

Ive dug the old Ensley dump in Birmingham, dug Pratt City Hutch's

[@adventurearchaeology]

In the field?

[@paulmusgrave3387]

Pop's here. Have you ever broke a rare bottle digging with shovels?

[@MrJoey1970]

there is a Pepsi bottle from north Carolina where im from you need to look for there worth about 25 thousand dollars Pepsi is written strait up and down on the bottle . and it says on the bottom north wilkesboro bottling company.

[@quatermaindetecting7530]

Super Video 👍hat Spaß gemacht zuzuschauen, schöne Funde Glückwunsch mach weiter so🙋‍♂️Abo und like hast du. Gruß Quatermain Detecting

[@WilliamWilson-it9qe]

Hey Brandon. Love your new intro, and looking forward to the next video already. Got a question-was watching another bottle digger's video, and as they dug undesirable bottles, they would just pitch them down the hill. I notice that your sites are usually cleaner, making me think you rebury your rejects. Do you consider the other as littering, even though it's an old dump? I do, but just wondering if I'm being unreasonable. Thanks and G L!

[@adventurearchaeology]

We try to rebury most.... but some times if they are whole we will leave them out for the bottle scavengers. There are a few old timers who come take the slicks we leave behind because they dont feel like digging theirselves.

[@RobertElee-uk1bf]

Awesome live stream

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@wgrillojr]

Have you ever brought a metal detector out with you to check the tailings for relics?

[@adventurearchaeology]

Waaaaayyy to much copper and iron.

[@wgrillojr]

​@@adventurearchaeology Good point how about sifting the lower levels? Seems there could be some good stuff to be found. You could have ur subs enter to be a guest in the episode and they can sift for relics.

[@adventurearchaeology]

We have actually thought about doing a contest for a day with Adventure Archaeology but we didnt want to bore everyone haha!

I need to get back to my old city dump in Tuskegee and get another Tuskegee Coke Hutch!

[@adventurearchaeology]

If there is still room to.dig I definitely would!

[@shakascloset1700]

Awesome finds. Love those marbles & bottles. How much is a hutch like the common one you found?

[@adventurearchaeology]

That hutch can go from 25$-50$ usually.

[@poormansstack]

Great HUNT!

[@The427Cammer]

New viewer and subscriber here. I have a question. What exactly are "hutchs"? Keep up the excellent vids and HH!

[@adventurearchaeology]

Hutch is short for Hutchinson. It is a type of bottle that has a blob neck with a spring stopper! Welcome to the channel!

[@pottercountydiggers3460]

Very cool. Looks dangerous!

[@adventurearchaeology]

It can be! We try to be as careful as possible.

[@kermitkid1]

Where do you guys sell your bottles?

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

Y'all are digging in that old dirt with all that broken glass and not wearing gloves isn't real smart. IF or when y'all get cut you very well could end up with a nasty infection that will make you wish you had worn gloves... I an old safety man and I've seen what happens to the best of them that don't put their and others safety first and foremost... I would hate to see your good time ruined by needing to go to the ER for stiches because you weren't wearing gloves... I would suggest the anti-cut through gloves they make now are like wearing regular gloves... I see your wearing hard hats to protect your heads that's very smart. But why not protect your hands also... Please next time wear gloves and don't forget to protect your eyes also... God has blessed you with a healthy body it's your job to keep it that way... Be blessed... BBE..

You are very right Bobby! We needed gloves badly!

[@mikelattimer7909]

How do the bottles get so deep?

[@knightwing51]

ok young fellows go to the nearest farm store get a few pair of the cheap work gloves. get wet but will protect the fingers from cuts that will not make your day. now them bottles are real nice.

[@adventurearchaeology]

You are very correct!

[@teresaparker3559]

I have trouble understanding the terminology for the bottles you find. I think I heard you call one a "circle slug". What does that mean?

[@adventurearchaeology]

Circle slug is lingo for an embossed circle around the lettering on the front of the bottle.

[@barrywainwright3391]

You're digging with no shirt on and I'm up here in New Jersey freezing my butt off and it's snowing. This mornin was 6ﾟ and the ground is frozen.
