I find it so fascinating that when you do family plots what’s in their pits. You can tell what we’re staples in there household or what was needed due to medical needs. I love what you do. I would so go on a mission with you. History is fascinating. Getting to know a person just by their belongings that were alive 100+ years ago blows my mind. Thank you for sharing this. If you are ever close in New Jersey I would love to help. Lol. I would have a perfect piece of land if my friends mother didn’t just sell her house. Built in 1858. Never thought to dig around like this.

(2) digging and collecting is self-gratifying in finding your own, (3) collecting a specific type of bottle - whiskey, pharma, ink, black glass, red (gold) glass, etc has its own attraction, (4) digging, and buying to fill out one's collection is further investment, (5) bottle collecting is turning (other than hi-end art) has and safer investment and payoff than gold, silver, stock market, bit coin, ... (6) digging and collecting saves historical and archaeological artifacts for future research and discovery - as much of my research is doing in supporting these collectors, (7) auctions of bottles that others would pay for (and their backstories) make these bottles more appreciated and kept for their intrinsic value, increased value, ... and eventual sales, (8) the saving of bottle history, products, producers, the very glass making companies themselves who made bottles, fruit jars, and jars for so many companies also needs to be told. Bottle collecting is on a par level of having, holding, studying, and appreciating history - much in the same way as I also do family ancestry and genealogy research for some of these diggers - who then find out the same bottles that their ancestors were using long long ago. History comes alive.

Another well done video. When you close the pit back up how do you decide what goes back in the hole? I know some diggers put all the broken glass, trash and slicks back.

[@BelowthePlains]

Most of the finds end up with the property owner. I’ll keep a few to document and then sell to offset travel costs etc. Some of the finds will end up with local museums although surprisingly they often have little interest in these kinds of things. If no one is interested and they hold no monetary value, we'll place the finds carefully at the bottom of the hole and fill it back in. Thanks for watching!

Possible small Heinz jam and preserve jars with pry-off lids of 1920s.

[@willong1000]

I really appreciate that you showed the dinnerware cleaned and reassembled. Do you save those as part of your collection? If not, I hope you know some crafts people who like to make collage, mosaics or such. Bottle shards too--they can be flattened by slumping in a kiln--can be incorporated into projects like stained glass windows or lamp shades. Varied colors and shapes combined with portions of embossing could make a stained glass piece extra interesting.

[@BelowthePlains]

yeah ive actually seen alot of what people do with some of the broken pieces and to be honest, some of it is absolutely amazing.. but yeah, i be willing to give the broken stuff to anyone who wanted it, but i dont personally know any of the craft people.. but we got those pieces taped together and we donated them to the library/town hall and they have those on display right now. thanks for watching

[@willong1000]

@@BelowthePlains Thanks for the reply Jake and Tom! I asked not for myself, but in the hope that you would respond thusly. Perhaps it will encourage viewers who make such crafts, especially those living in your region of course, and motivate some to approach you guys for materials, thereby preserving a little more history, albeit in repurposed form. Thanks again for cleaning, reassembling and showing us the colorful dinnerware*. I hope it is a feature of your videos that you will continue. Happy to hear that the donations are getting displayed👍👍! Incidentally, the small clear glass "pitcher"--do you think it might have been one-half of an oil and vinegar cruet set? If the other half of such a set got broken, it might explain why that apparently intact item was tossed out. * I believe that we sometime tend to think of the 19th and early 20th century in the same photographic hues we are accustomed seeing from the era; namely, black, white and shades of gray or sepia. Colorful products such as the dinnerware and the vintage advertising that you include in your videos remind us that the past was also richly multi-hued.

Heinz 8-sided ketchup with a crown cap closure - bottle number and base enbossing unstated 263 - (contract, machine made) (1930-1936) held 16 ounces, 90% embossed ice frost glazed effect appearing cold. Bottle crown cap seal Two known crown cap ketchup bottle numbers. This appears as a different clear bottle before or after 263 that is not recorded in the lists - and would be a rediscovery of a missing bottle and ID history. Most Heinz are 14 ounce.

My dad grew up with an outhouse. His mom didn't have indoor plumbing until the 70's. Anyway, he remembers the outhouse being in 4 different locations while he was growing up in the 50's and 60's. and before that it must've been moved several times since it was built. Granted, they had a large over an acre sized lot. They were always located in one area fairly close to the house. I only dug in one location but my best find was a "Great War" memorial token that someone probably lost by accident. It had a hole punched in it, probably to wear on a string. I was hoping it was the first pit on the property but it turned out some interesting stuff anyway.

[@Croppermom17]

Stumbled upon your videos and immediately subscribed, enjoy watching your digs. You’ve likely been asked this before (x1000 😆) but I’m wondering if there’s an odor with these digs, especially when they were previously used as outhouse pits?

[@BelowthePlains]

haha yeah we get that question from time to time.. well, for the most part, no.. the dirt is indistinguishable from regular soil.. except sometimes.. when the water table is high in an area, it smells pretty dang bad... and it's pretty gross to dig thru.. i have a video im working on right now, and its a sloppy mess, and you will be able to what i mean.. but those pits are unusual.. id say less than 1 out of 20 i dig are really bad, but for the most part, any of the pits that are full of water, are extremely gross.. the cold fresh ground water prevent its from decaying.. well im glad you found the channel! thank you for watching and subbing!!
