That Peerless Ice Cream maker crank looks like it could be restored.

[@mauriceclark4870]

It looks like everything. Was bottled. Years ago. Now. It's. Packaging. Paper. And plastic. Thats. What. You see on dumps !!!!😊

[@mauriceclark4870]

They certainly liked their whisky. Back in the day. Wonder how much it cost to fill. Those flasks ?? !!

[@mauriceclark4870]

Those dolls heads. Are. Good. Told don't knock dirt out. Till you get home. Because eyes. Are inside of head. !!!!

There is now a ton of bottle digging sites on KZbin but you've set an impressively high standard with your productions and post-production addition of explanatory history insights.

[@TampaJim]

I discovered your channel about 3 weeks ago. I have watched about 15 episodes. Very interesting content and fairly done. The thing I miss is see what happens to the bottles you dig. Do you keep and display them, sell them to antique collectors, trade them with other collectors? I, for one, can only watch so much of bottles being dug out of the ground and not seeing their destinations. The short display of cleaned bottles at the end of the video's is interesting. Please, consider going further in the final destinations and lives of these precious finds. Thanks

[@philipcallicoat3147]

Another fun adventure... Thanks Tom and crew !🕊️

[@chrisknauss6727]

You work hard to bring this content to us. You obviously have passion for what you do. Good job.

[@robertburkhardt3506]

I agree with chris but I have a question. when I was a teen near Folsom Ca. near the prison and near the american river, I loved to dig in old dump sites. I found two bottles that a old lady told me that they were whiskey boot flasks. they were concave in shape and a bit purple in color. I was sent to Asia and never seen them again. What were they in your expert opinion?

[@robertburkhardt3506]

your site is awesome. I cancelled my dish tv because all the crap on the news was just so depressing. then I found your site. thank you both for your expert knowledge and your hard work, and mild spirit and your humility.

[@callahan1967]

I'm really enjoying your videos and knowledge. I have recently discovered several privies on my property and watching your videos keeps me motivated. Thanks for all you do!

[@lindalee9868]

Rawleigh is from my hometown Freeport, IL. I collect anything from that company as they sold many types of products. Mr. Rawleigh traveled all over the world to get the best ingredients. Even though the factory has been closed for 20 to 30 years, it is still standing. I love it when he finds those bottles.

[@allenbuck5589]

Thanks for the videos always enjoy them.

thank you! and thanks for leaving us a comment

Those broken top soda/beer bottles can be repurposed into drinking glasses, great conversation pieces! 👍🏼

[@micellehuff278]

Great haul! Those doll heads could be worth quite a bit to a doll collector!

[@BelowthePlains]

yeah, ive heard that.. they are super cool, and we did end up keeping them. im sure ill get rid of them in bulk someday to someone who wants them. overall the 4 pits we dug and recorded at this site were all pretty good. thanks for watching and commenting!

[@countesscable]

All those doll heads!!!!! That is incredible…. Restorers would go wild seeing them!

[@salaciouscrumb9312]

How do you probe the land first prior to your digs?

[@stacykelly9962]

I’m curious about this too.

[@larrydonor18]

Same.

[@ninaappelt9001]

He uses what looks like to be a 5ft probe. Sticks it in as far as he can, feeling and listening for targets.

[@donna-marieosullivan6590]

It's so nice to see you find other things, other than bottles. I really enjoy your channel.

[@pinecorey]

I always get excited about his digs. So interesting what will come out. So much work.

[@marymoor935]

Still surprises me that America had prohibition, as so many British people went to your country. As an English person, having any excuse to drink is in our culture. If you don't drink ale, your not British, according to my dad 🤣🤣 great bit of archeology there guys. Love from the land of drinkers🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸

[@34ofaninchofbrain80]

I don't think Americans stopped drinking in fact they probably drank more and had more fun ducking and diving from what I have read about it. Moon shine

[@kimk8365]

Hello from Iowa, I look forward to your videos, it must feel like christmas every day and the history got to love that.

[@janakainz1315]

what was the most expensive thing you found? the oldest you found? do you ever travel to dig? I had a old cobble stone road go through my yard. that many people traveled years ago on going to town to get some supplys. I live in wisconsin.

I have not done any digging in years but recently while camping in a remote area of Utah came across a circa 1915 prospectors dump that was mostly buried by a small sand dune. Was really fun to dig it up and see what they were using. Because it was on federal land I was compelled to leave it all there for the next person to find some day.

[@robertburkhardt3506]

Jack . Your humility and sense of what is right or wrong gives me hope for the fact that sane humanity really does exist.

yeah i know.. we are gonna re-upload another video from the same property and we found like 5 of them all right next to each other.. its almost as if a daughter had passed away and they threw all their dolls away at once.. but who knows, maybe their daughter just grew up.. good dig tho. thanks for watching

[@JuanitaMeador]

Hello, I enjoy your posts about digging bottles. I love old bottles, myself. Do you ever sell the doll heads that you find in these digs? I make things with them, and would be interested in buying some from you.

[@craig_ramjet990]

You make an archeologist's head explode digging like that.

[@charlene3586]

You probably know by now that the big piece of metal you found was the top of an old fashioned ice cream maker. It made homemade ice cream which people still do today. Now they are electric instead of the hand crank. Your piece was missing the crank as well as the container to hold the makings of the ice cream as well as the bucket that the container went in. You probably know all this by now though. You sure find some interesting old stuff.

[@ninaappelt9001]

My family didn't have electric ice cream maker. Ours ran on kid power back in the 60's.

[@tomb5998]

I've been watching you for the last couple of weeks and have one burning question, "does it still smell like poop after 100 years of composting?" Asking for a friend!

[@richpollard8566]

As a doll collector, I found the doll heads really interesting. As you mentioned, I don't think they would be thrown out but I think I'm also just as glad not to know why they ended up there.

[@dodgeit3014]

Have you ever found a none opened bottle with all its original content?

[@alanatolstad4824]

You fellas led privileged lives...didn't know that was the top to a crank ice cream freezer!---The wind was spooky. Listen to the opening music to HOW THE WEST WAS WON, there's a line in there that says "I'm the only good guy here on the prairie, where the wind blows so hard, you have to walk sideways to keep from flying..."!---At 71, I'm still in love with dolls, & I would have wanted to stop a few minutes right there & cleaned up those pretty faces.

Honest question… are you a bottle hunter mostly? Would love to see your talk more about the history behind the site and finds… what was it like back in those days.. what can be learned for what you are doing…

[@gaby7mm]

hi how do you know where to dig exactly

[@rkstew]

are you using a wooden dowel as a digging stick?

[@johnlord8337]

All of these digs in the (1900-1920) period, one wonders with few whiskies, but majority of pharmas - if these weren't all dumped as part of the legislation and dry counties of ND and SD before 1920, leading up to total Prohibition 1920 and dumping all alcohols.

[@earthkeyper]

The doll heads are the stuff horror movies are made of. ... dug the dig though.

[@BelowthePlains]

haha yeah, not gonna lie it was a little creepy.. one time i found 2 dog skulls down an outhouse pit, and it creeped me out pretty bad.. the doll heads were freaky because there were so many of them.. it was a very windy overcast day, and i was wondering if a child died and thats why they were all right next to each other. really great pit, but the mood was very strange. thanks for watching

[@cattaylor2934]

Have you boys ever considered going out of country ? Say... across the pond? England, France ? Europe in general? You want old? Well, there you go! What about the New England states? Or work your way down the "midwest corridor" like, north to south. No doubt "they " all had an outhouse or too . Have you thought about famous houses and their backyards? Possibly, the Lizzie Borden House? Rumor and speculation at the time was that Lizzie had thrown the murder weapon axe 🪓, and the bloody clothes she had worn during the murder of her father and stepmother into the privie/ outhouse. No evidence. No conviction. A change in location could do your bank account well !! Hapy Digging, cat taylor

[@lauraburdett8932]

There are collectors for the doll heads.
