MASSIVE Flood exposes Ghost Town’s FORGOTTEN River Treasure! VALUABLE Alabama History!

It must make your hobby 100x more enjoyable that you have a wife that not only supports it but hops right in there with you.

Agreed 🫶

[@adventurearchaeology]

For sure James!

The plant is mountain laurel. It grows from Maine to Florida. We are covered up in it in Georgia.

[@annetteh110]

We are also covered up in Mountain Laurel in Western North Carolina

I thought so! ☝️I agree.I think that's the name to.🙂👍😎

Favorite line of the day " it's a rock you loser" her joy made me laugh

[@dshollins5864]

Fun finds!

[@carols1964]

I love that you take broken bottles and make something from them.....

[@AL-vo2uh]

When you asked about which of your videos make me click on them, I think I really like hearing the banter between you and your wife between the history stuff. She adds the flavor to the sauce. 😉 Shout out to her for being naturally entertaining. Also, beautiful creek! Next time I am in Alabama, I need to do more eco tourism.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Don’t tell her that or she will be the new star of the show hahahaha

[@barbarafritchie2000]

Yep mountain laurel. Beautiful

[@alanatolstad4824]

First time for me! I live out west, & we don't have them out here. Gorgeous flowers.

[@LynnGorman]

Fun watching you and your wife enjoying nature and history together.

[@rtcfrtcdana]

I've been diggin' since I could walk & find oldies mixed sparodically with newer bottles 'cos people have a tendency to hang on to old medicines, etc for decades. Keep lookin & havin fun. Thanks for sharing & reminding me of home.

[@treasurearth]

Fantastic day out. Thanks to both of you for sharing your adventures.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Our pleasure!

[@jamessekulich2344]

Thank you Brandon and Miranda, love everything you guys do. From someone who has been shut in since November your vids are a window to a world that I may never be able to get back into. I just appreciate being able to participate any way possible, so thanks again and keep the excellent education for all of your followers coming, and we'll keep soaking it in.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Glad you can come along with us

[@michaelmoore7550]

What can I say, I love the river video's the most!!!

[@samcrane9817]

I just love the water walks and it highlights why - seeing the bottles come out even a little dirty is better than mud!

[@adventurearchaeology]

I tend to agree haha

[@badmom2goody29]

Gotta love the love song of the cicadas, lol! Great find withe the star bottle!

[@adventurearchaeology]

They are everywhere hahaha

[@JD144-]

Haha…when she said loser. Great video guys! Also I agree, when you start feeling “ticky,” it’s never fun. Everyone should get to enjoy that at least once in their life.

[@susancousins8766]

Nice time on the creek with your wife! Nice looking bottles ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

[@adventurearchaeology]

Always fun in the water!

[@samuelsiedschlag4486]

Awesome video, but i am a few days late to the creek party. 😂😂😂 she was definitely having a great time. Awesome, as always.

[@historylooker7]

Awesome saves, y'all !!! Too bad on the broken ones, but the whiskey glasses are very cool 😎✌🍀

[@StaceyBaker-c4k]

Thanks for the information. I have been searching for bottles for years and just discovered there were videos digging. I have not had a lot of success in finding embossed bottles. Just found my first hutch from Eufaula, Alabama! It is not a coke. In fact, I have never found a straight side coke! Maybe someday, I just have been busy doing nursing. All the bottle education from all of you is much appreciated!

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Great video you two! Really like that start bottle. What kind of acid are you using to get the grime off?

[@adventurearchaeology]

Muriatic is the way to go’

[@shellydehart8217]

Have to admit that creek sure was pretty. Especially those big white flowers. The only thing I could think of was mountain laurel but I don’t think I’m right. That was so cool you showing how well that acid cleaned up that nasty stuff on it. It’s really a awesome looking bottle. I’d keep it. ♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks Shelly!

[@kimderrick7796]

Thank you for showing a cleaning process. I haven't watched another channel that shows this process. I am curious how collectors/hunters get the bottles ready for display or to sell. Again, thank you!!! Love your channel and the interaction with your wife. It's good to see couples share love and enjoyment of time spent together!!! ❤😊

[@maureenfitzgerald1895]

What kind of acid bath do you use? Do tell!

Thankfully, I don't have the cicadas in my area, but I do have a train barrel thru past my house about 15 times a day. I like her waders! Those would be great to fish in.

Luckily those critters aren't loud here in NE Texas yet.

[@hobbyfarmer62]

Always nice to find something new and different, thanks for another great video

[@masonmercmetaldetecting]

Relaxing creek walk and again some really nice bottles! Was that muriatic acid at the end? I'm guessing that would be bad to rinse off into my septic tank, probably ok if I had city water but we have well water out in the woods. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

[@adventurearchaeology]

It was!

First saw the Budweiser cans 54 years ago, first ones had a pull tab that you threw away but fish were swallowing them when tossed them overboard

I could see using those pull tabs for shiny lures…… maybe that’s a new use haha

[@RogerEbert-vy5pv]

Happy to see you're wife appears well recovered from that nasty injury. There are plant ID apps.

[@seangeorgi7907]

Here's an idea for all those beers you find. Have them cut into glasses and have your logo blasted onto them after polishing. I bet they would sell fast.

[@norvalgreenwold7822]

Straight muriatic acid

My hubby is a chemical engineer. He provides biocides to treat water scum buildup. They can be rather stubborn to remove for sure 😊. Looks like you have a great solution.
