Hitting an Unbelievable Jackpot Buried Under a Vacant Lot for 120 Years

[@Snarkapotamus]

This guy has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of bottle glass...combined with the ability to dig like a badger!

[@Walkercolt1]

I'm retired from the Tulsa Area Medical Examiners Office and you dig almost like a forensic dig, which is a HUGE compliment! I used to use a tea strainer to sift thru layer of a dig for bone fragments and evidence, and 2" an hour was FAST for me with all the photos I had to take. THOUSANDS (sometimes tens of thousands) of color slides to document EVERYTHING in the grids. When and if I found what NOBODY wants to find, the artist's brushes come-out to brush away the dirt and the squeeze air bulbs to "preserve the evidence". The glass changing color tells you "stuff" if you are smart enough to know what it's telling you about what it's been in contact with, how long. In 34 years, my NOSE became a forensic tool too. You do great work. You should be very proud of preserving some of our History.

[@davidgay2792]

I just read an article from an archaeologist complaining about Tom digging their future dig sites. Like most college educated people, they think only they know how to dig artifacts. Consider this archaeologist are slow, they require a large amount of money to get them started and they use their students as slaves to do the work. Plus they want to stop people from using their own property by passing laws to stop digging and building until they have the time to study the area. and only they are allowed to say yes or no to a building project. It is all about money... and their ego. In my opinion Tom is doing a great job. Keep up the good work.

[@bwilliams463]

My answer to that is the same one I have for people who comment about how 'terrible' it is that 'classic' cars are being destroyed in demolition derbies: if you wanted it saved so badly, you could have gone out, found it and bought it, just like the derby driver did. If 'real' archaeologists want to dig these sites, why aren't THEY tracking them down and contacting the property owners, themselves?

[@katie195]

Academics are painfully slow to start anything. Then drag it out for as long as possible. All the while getting paid. Like the gentleman said - if you want it go buy it.

[@GeekRex]

In Europe in general, and Ireland in particular, it is a painful process to do anything that digs into the ground. And heaven help you if they find even the smallest thing on your property.

[@bradleywalsh4103]

I think every video of Tom's I've seen yet has been on private property and he has had permission to dig, so that archeologist can check his ego and give his head a hard shake.

[@garnetsuss4881]

It is very refreshing to hear your encyclopedic knowledge of bottles without any curse words. Thank You Tom 😊

[@eucliduschaumeau8813]

I'm new to your channel, but have been a bottle collector since the early 1970s. I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but those amber glass syringes you found so many of, are syphilis syringes. The fact that this was a hotel site where you are digging, should give you an idea what went on in the mid-western hotels of the 1800s. The good news is, those vials are usually hand-made and worth a good sum. The early dumps in New Orleans are full of these.

[@AxelOlsson-ks2gu]

They didn't have TV in those days, haha. Can't imagine inviting friends over to view your syphilis syringes...

[@j.dearman4087]

Do you save the bottles etc. and sell them to pay for future digs. I really admire the depth of your knowledge. Thanks for sharing. Julie

Had a wonderful day helping you with the digs...I learned some things and appreciated your teaching and cheerful wholesome manners. Thank you. See you at sun up!

[@uptoolate2793]

I would love to know more about you, Tom. How did you come to discover digging outhouse pits as a thing? How did you learn all this information and history about, well everything you discover in these pits? These videos are just wild! Thank you.

I know this is old video but I am 63 year old nurse I have been collecting from my childhood. Those long slender amber pieces you do not know what they are! They are plunger for syringes. You will also find them white to go with clear glass syringes, and frosted. I knew all of my great grandparents they and my grandparents lived into their 100s. Glad you enjoy keeping history alive.

[@smspiwak1956]

Your enthusiasm is contagious! I really enjoy watching your digs. Every time you dig up a blue Bromo bottle it reminds me of my Grandpa standing at the kitchen sink mixing and drinking his Bromo. Back in the early 60’s. Makes me smile every time.

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

Your knowledge of antique bottles boggles the mind. Knowing exactly what a bottle is simply by its shape or size, while it is still in the ground is pure talent and very impressive. I'm a 61 yr. The old woman who started bottle digging at the young age of ten when my older brother let me tag along with him and a friend. I think he just wanted a pack mule since I carried all of the equipment for them, lol. But that was fine with me and gladly did it as I liked spending time with him, especially bottle digging. Suburban Archeologist. When I got a few years older, my dad went to the local Radio Shack and purchased the latest model metal detector. I fell in love with that hobby too, and have a couple of different model detectors. I live in the N. East, and most privies in our area were very deep, some 15 ft down before you hit the top layer. Most we have dug have been brick or stone-lined and in amazing shape( the homes they served were built in the late 1600- early 1700s). That deep of a privy pit usually takes a few people to open up and haul up the buckets of dirt as well as the finds. This privy you are digging is a dream pit for many. I would rather find them this shallow, especially now that I am getting old, lol. I did convert an old golf bag and caddy into a bottle-digging cart. It's perfect for long-handled tools as well as gloves, rags, hand tools, and different-length picks that I made. I installed a small 6-pack sized cooler onto it as well to keep the" cool wraps" and my lunch. I also use it for metal detecting sometimes. It had 6 " wheels on it, but too thin for rolling in the woods. So I installed some wider, solid rubber tires onto it. You impressed me enough to gain my subscription, and that is saying a lot for me. You remind me of my brother and his knowledge of bottles at age 13. Heck, he started digging at age 8 when a new kid moved into the neighborhood and introduced him to the hobby. They instantly became best friends and when they were not wandering the town looking for new dumps, they were playing with their GI JOES or Major Matt Mason's.

I do realize that you ware your gloves but sometimes when you get excited because the object has embossing, so you throw off the right hand glove but through the excitement you don't always put back on right away and as you say, your working in an old outhouse generally, bacteria, tetanus, and all thoughts crazy thing from back then and yes I know you are, and do try, I'm just a worried old fart that doesn't want any thing happening to, 2 of my favorite u-tubers, so bare with me, I'm on the worry watch.

Seen a few coins pop out during your digging and I cringe every time...lol just sayen I get what you're after... Maybe try a more thorough search some time. Could make for a great video.

we arent currently selling anything on ebay. we are considering starting a store, but we im not sure when that would be. if we end up doing it we will for sure let it be known in a future video. and yeah, the broken stuff we just put back at the bottom of the pit, cover it with some of the cleaner dirt, and then we fill the pit in on top of it, so that way we dont further break anything. we actually give away a bunch of the stuff to local historic societies and museums or the landowner. we drive around with such a packed vehicle with all the equipment, that we usually dont have room to take everything with, so we just take the best stuff. thanks for watching.

Its amazing how the glass was made to last. I lived in TOledo where LibbeyGLass had a factory...we all had glassware products from there...i still have mine from the 1950s...no chips or scratches.

Grew up in Kansas and I never thought someone would find treasures in an outhouse pit! Love it 😍

[@williamfoster7165]

wow, im blown away. that was amazing!!

[@peggypegg8204]

Would love to have you look around my grandparents old farm in Big Rapids, MI! I know there were at least two outhouses! Love what you do!

[@dannybell926]

​@@Fritzi2253 yep, that's correct. Or if people lived on top of a hill, the garbage usually got tossed off the opposite end the prevailing winds blow. Even the, it was a lot more convenient to toss your stuff while making a trip to the outhouse

@@Fritzi2253 It was a convenient garbage pit, especially if an outhouse was at the end of its lifespan, or the house got indoor plumbing. Better than a pile of garbage. Recycling wasn’t a thing.

Omg, I just have watched this one so many times ... a real live historical treasure box hidden in sh*t, lol. I get so drawn in to Your videos!! I'm always talking to the TV ... "Wait! What is that? Careful, don't break it! Oh no, I think You missed something!" I must look awful silly 😅

[@carolynbenjamin6578]
