Digging Old Hand Cut Stones in a Trash Dump - Stone Mason - Reclaimed Barn Antiques - Bottle Digging

[@juliegriffin7609]

Those stones are awesome! Your mom is truly blessed for having as son like you. There aren't many sons that would bother taking those stones home to their mom. Especially having to haul them uphill to the truck. Those Pepsi bottles were nice. Squirrel Man was so cute hiding his pecan. 💖💯

[@pauladenicola5583]

“Rocks” finding “Stones” , don’t get better than that. Love the video!

[@willfo8358]

Nice 👍 marbles and Pepsi bottles Rocks. 😊 Most of all I love ❤️ the squirrel 🐿 man. Have a great 😊 new year. 🇺🇸

[@patrickrowan1249]

Those green Marble Kings are beautiful.I never see them like that! Scored on the hand cut sandstone!Your new frame you are working on is awesome! Never saw the squirrel tail like that either! 😊

[@jerrysadventures8952]

Thanks rocks

[@johncondry8876]

Those old cut stones are super cool. Great finds!

[@rockscousteau]

Yea. I think those are better than bottles. I will try and get all of them. Looks to be like 25 more. I may try and get enough to build a small wall in my moms yard

[@erictaylor8523]

Stones are very cool

[@rockscousteau]

Yea. Those are far better than any bottle to me. There are at least 25 more. I will have to try and dig them all out. There are big ones too.

[@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat]

Your new rake brought you luck with the stone pavers. Nice Pepsi bottles and marble. Squirrel Man is a hoot. 👍😀👏

[@rockscousteau]

Yeah. That rake is working out great! I used that one I got that was an Ames Eagle today on the river. it is a little lesser quality but works good too. Good for the price. I found ancient stuff with it...so --worth it

[@isomer13]

Thanks, Rocks.

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks. Happy New Year!

[@elsakrigbaum99]

[@RonFProspecting]

Nice finds man!

[@AaronDalton-py3pq]

How freakin cool is Squirrel Man!!?

[@kevindrummond3979]

Nice Pepsi bottles !

[@rockscousteau]

I think there are hundreds of them there, I will go back....I was going to today...but it is freezing rain and just feels terrible outside.

[@whatalifewhataprice5261]

Happy new year.

[@rockscousteau]

Happy New Year to you too! ZIt is freezing here to start tge year. Going to get in the teens. Hope it is warmer where you are at.

[@stephenkessel1990]

Yup stevezilla first comment I'm a watch the flick I be back

[@neweyes777]

So many nice and interesting items, love the stones, marbles and the little guy in the car. Keep searching out treasures and I will keep watching. Squirrel Man always makes me smile; he is truly one of a kind. Much love friend.

[@hellomcflyy]

find me some old potato chip bags in this newer layer - that Pepsi sure is clean - don't overlook can's that look really rusty at first blush - some of them clean up excellent when soaked - there aren't a lot of newer dumps near me.....I like all ages of dumps...

[@rockscousteau]

I will tell you what I like. I like those Old Potato Chip Tins. Some of those are BIG & Colorful and ReALLY NICE.

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

Those foundation Stones are nice, Rocks! And the marbles are very nice!❤

[@rockscousteau]

Yea. I think those are honestly some of the best I have run across on video. The size....the chisel marks on them. I will have to go back there and just dig all of them. I think there is enough to build a nice wall or something .....I cant believe people dump stuff like that.

[@lfurches]

Happy New Year! Those foundation stones are awesome! It is amazing what y9u find in those dumps. Hope 2025 is another terrific year of excellent finds for you. Cheers!

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks. Happy New Year!

[@jerryrollins5209]

Happy New Year rock get them marble.

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks. Happy New Year!

[@TheBeaniowa]

Wow you hit the jackpot today! Nice! One day in the future can you share with me on how you get your bottles and finds so clean? ❤

[@rockscousteau]

Well those acl bottles are easy to clean always usually. Those bottles were from like 1968....and in plastic bags underground. So they were better than just being in the dirt. I will go try and dig more of them. I can give those all to that guy at the car lot There are a bunch more stones there. I am going to dig thrm all out

[@TheBeaniowa]

@rockscousteau Big smile! You are on a mission happy hunting! 😃

[@stephenkessel1990]

Well Rocks I found a downspout stone myself the other day dished out really deep and today found a Marx toy hammer the head looks chrome plastic wood grain handle if anyone needs it holla at me,I had that little car n driver when I was like 4or 5 be 1969 lol wow awesome finds for you Rocks like always ,,✌️and ltr

Have you ever look for old maps of houses to look for the outhouse to dig?

[@OldManMuskrat]

My property is covered with old hand cut stones. Some are 400 lb sandstone blocks with chisel marks on them. A few are rejects from the building of my old county court house in the 1860s. my dad and I both have life long rock addictions so we drag in every big rock we can get in the car or truck. I've hauled 300 pound rocks in my passenger seat in the seat belt. Anything to get them home.

[@rockscousteau]

I do the same thing. I have seen piles of these around. And they were for sale. Guys with excavators and that dig foundations and stuff like that for people. They are keeping these in stock. The nice ones that are like that big one I showed I took off the river. That is most likely a several hundred dollar stone if you have the Sandblaster thing that will let you engrave house numbers into it,. I think a lot of them are being made into those now. I have seen them with peoples Last Name on them and Est 1970 when they got married or moved into the home. That is where the BIG money is.

[@sandylandon8057]

Happy New Year Rocks and family.

[@rockscousteau]

Happy New Year to you too!

[@t-nic7089]

i can find 1890s foundation stones never thought about dragging them out until now

[@rockscousteau]

Think about this. How nice would ones of this size look with a hole drilled in them with a masonry bit....and a wooden flag pole inserted into it. People will buy these for sure. The only bad thing. The majority of them are like tri[le this size and are hard to handle. If you can get them up the hill to the truck or car. and they are nicely chiseled and have a good form.....they are worth money and always will be

[@rockscousteau]

that big nice one I showed at my moms....about killed me getting it home. But it was worth it. Id say that one is worth $60.00.

[@rockscousteau]

The BIG money in the stones is finding like 100 of them in a place. Hauling them all back to one placewwhere they can be loaded and put them for sale. It is BIG MONEY if the stones are nice,

[@t-nic7089]

@ I can find 100s of them

[@Swamp-Fox]

Those foundation stones are nice! Happy New Year!!

[@AaronDalton-py3pq]

How do you get all the stains out of those bottles?

[@rockscousteau]

Oh it i s easy. Just wire brushes....and unbent coat hangers and scouring pad. Most bottles clean up easily. You have to reach in them with the wire though and use a little piece of scour pad on the tip to scub the insides usually. But it is easy

[@russellpeterson354]

You could probably sell Squirrel Man "pets" for a few bucks a piece. I'd definitely pay.

[@rockscousteau]

he would get to agitated. He is only really around me. I doubt he would enjoy that

[@russellpeterson354]

@@rockscousteau I am certain that you are right about that. Thanks, Rock.

[@pattyrice4276]

How do you find stuff, do you just randomly go and dig stuff up, or do you get permission? Do you have to get permission to dig for Native American artifacts at the river, or do you just pick a spot and dig?

[@rockscousteau]

Yea....These people that own this land live by my mother. So I asked him. It just depends on the locations. Some places you dont have to ask...some you do.
