[@DarrylDigger]

Nice variety of finds. These dumps are like history lessons. Controlled and occupied are one and the same.

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Thanks for the info. I figured, but wanted a second opinion lol

[@historylooker7]

[@melblues3847]

That compass is an amazing find.

[@thearrowheadreapers8668]

That's lot of cool stuff coming put of that pile. Like the lighter and compass! 😃🏹

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Yes, sir... first time I've dug a compass. I thought for sure that was pocket watch until I cleaned it off lol... cool find

[@thearrowheadreapers8668]

@Travelling..Bottle..Digger indeed

[@steveevets7668]

You've got a good spot there. Looking forward to part 2 and that lamp.

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Thanks, Steve... yeah, it was a lot of fun digging in that one

[@claytonandsheilacampbell2358]

Great video, can't wait to see part 2

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Coming soon!

[@countrydiggers]

That’s a nice Watkins bottle and that was a whole Blue Willow China piece! I liked the lighter too. Some of those cans should clean up nice!👍 😊

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

The watkins and blue willow will be in an upcoming dig... it was a good dig

[@robertrobert7924]

I used to take my kids to an old bottle dump for prospecting decades ago. We found brown glass CLOROX bottles with black rubber cork shaped stoppers, many medical, and vanilla extract bottles that used cork stoppers. Also whiskey bottles. We had to be careful because of broken glass, rusty tin cans, and various live snakes. It was a lot of fun.

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Lots of stuff to be found.

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

The lighter is an awesome find, Kevin, and the lamp is pretty!❤

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Any info on "controlled Japan" ?

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

@Travelling..Bottle..Digger I believe it's the same as Occupied Japan.

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Ok, that's the impression I was getting when searching, but nothing concrete either way. I do believe you're probably correct though.

[@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat]

Awesome finds!👍👏😀

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Thanks

[@lisabrown1324]

Nice finds! 👍

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Thanks for checking it out, Lisa... cheers !!

[@kenmilne2379]

Good finds Kev ! Take u weeks to sift through that lot !! Haha 👏👏

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Near impossible to find the marbles in it

[@georgiaware3248]

Wait a minute didn't see that blue & white lid?😮 Oh My Woohoo

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Yep, that will ge in an upcoming dig

[@BIGALL7777]

The pile of small sample liquor bottles are really cool. Love that old lighter. Nice Canada Dry hope it survives. Yes I believe your right on the time period Kevin. Like the Moosehead beer can. I just cut out the good panels and make a framed collage with them. Lots of nice old cans in that spot. Awesome compass Kevin ! Great eye ! I'd sure have fun in that dump spot. Cool Beans for sure ! Fantastic dig Kevin ! Really enjoyed seeing all those finds ! Cheers my friend !

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Sooo many sample liquor bottles. Last time back there, I took all the green ones.

[@whackadim2250]

I want the magnifying glass....(Janes FIRED!!)😄

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

It's a good one

[@sagerat8188]

All those mini liquor bottles piled up there makes me think someone had a little party. Thanks Kevin!

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

A "little" party lol

[@jasoncurtis3308]

I'm also surprised when I cross a dump like that with no marbles!! But I'm sure you will find one or two!! Nice dig!!!

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

I did get a few out of there in other digs. They were at the very bottom. I'm sure there are more there somewhere that I've missed

[@edwardtraylor3984]

Good morning Kevin. Looking at all those old abandoned dump piles you go to, almost makes you wish you had a time machine to go back in time to go behind people just as they are dumping it and find some mint condition treasures. Lot of those old tin cans can be worth some change today in better condition. Proud you kept that lighter. It can be restored back to working condition again. Thanks Kevin.

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

The lighter is extremely cool. Any thoughts on "Controlled Japan" ?

[@jamesmarshalla8565]

You’d be surprised that those cans can clean up in better shape, try soaking them in lemon juice and water for a few hours and clean off with soap and toothbrush. Way to go on the awesome finds Kevin! Thanks again. James 😊

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Yeah, I've done that. When the rust is bubbled up through the paint, it can't be saved.

[@RavenRelics207]

That lighter is pretty awesome I’d agree that controlled and occupied would be the same I have a collection of occupied lighters that have a similar look

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Thanks, man !

[@artifactsandbigracks3999]

Wow. ✌️😎

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Long time, no see

[@juliawalker1697]

Hellllllooo , special k , the show that sets you for the day , serial bottle digger , been looking forward to this pile o crap for ages , keep em coming deputy dawg , Neil uk back in the box

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

This pile is pretty much done now. That's ok though... I've got a couple more similar spots to hit

[@Adventurous4Life]

Id g back and get that white rose motor oil tin! I found one exactly like it but the back totally rusted off. Still sold it for $20! They are crazy collectable. You'd Easily make 20-50$ off that white rose motor oil. Next time you're there grab it!

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Thanks, bud... good to know

[@toddpowell6313]

Man you always seem to find some great places to dig. I’m sure that you don’t show the hundred duds though lol. 😎

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Yep, I do a ton of leg work !

[@bwilliams463]

I always thought you folks just called Canada Dry 'Dry.'

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Some do lol

[@williamsox-e8x]

you should drink the remnants in the gin bottles on one of your shows

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

No, thanks lol

[@bouncerslabrealnature9143]

Just coming back from the hospital....It turns out I have too many red blood cells and hemoglobin....They Took more blood today than yesterday. I'm pretty sure it's been like this for a long time. Turns out that PV is like a cancer of the blood. 🤔🤔Controlled was after Occupied.

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Hope you're feeling well, pal

[@bouncerslabrealnature9143]

​@@Travelling..Bottle..DiggerControlled was After Occupied.

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

@@bouncerslabrealnature9143 That seems to logically make sense

[@sunrunneroldbottels223]

I have found that up north a c l bottles last longer in the ground then down hear south. low humidity I figure.

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Some seem to hold up better than others

[@blairarthur302]

are you close to a airport that was around in the 60s,maybe the garbage pile from a airport

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Nope... a pile of mini liquor bottles though, huh ?

[@BassamArida]

Hi Kevin, how do you clean your bottles? Do you tumble them?

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Hi, no, I just use a wire brush, paper towel, and toothbush. Oddly enough, I don't dig many "sick" bottles... those one that are all murky looking, so no tumbling needed.

[@Hamingja6266]

Not sure if this will help but I did find Champion lighters from the 1950s saying "controlled Japan" I googled lighter then "controlled Japan" there were photos and comments from Reddit of people with them. Also Etsy 👍

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Yes, I believe I seen those. It has to be the same as "occupied Japan", but it's the first time I've heard of it

[@cellerfeller1474]

Nice lighter - likely "certified quality controlled Japan" circa 1950's/60's - I don't think controlled was ever used as a substitute for "Occupied"

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

I kind of got the impression that controlled would be after occupied, but not sure

[@rockscousteau]

You shoud have bought a million views and called it Al capon's lost lighter.....Find of The century...LOL

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Lmao ! Exactly... it's getting ridiculous isn't it ?!

[@ismewhat1234]

Super good dig. Cool beans 🫘 🥸👍

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Thank you! Cheers!
