Neck Deep Inside Giant Groundhog Hole. UNBELIEVABLE FIND! (Tennessee Christmas Special)

A groundhog dug up some bottles on my property and lead me to one of the most amazing trash pits I've ever excavated! There's hundreds of intact bottles and other various surprises, which I'll leave for the video. :)

I dug out the pit for nearly another 3 hours this morning. It just won't end! Part 2 on the way soon. :) I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!

[@jenniferwright5536]

Are you doing anything fun today?

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Yes. Pit digging. LOL. Will probably be having dinner with my parents. :)

[@sheilalart5837]

JD are you naked and afraid of the ground hog!! Your so funny!!

[@jimgriffiths9071]

A naked JD! Man, I wish I didn't see that! Hey, you gotta think about showing the new folks your mad basketball skills next rainy day!

[@harry_hands]

Video completed. Liked... Brings back the memories. I remember the glass Pepsi bottles with the thin styrofoam label. Log cabin syrup and other familiar shaped containers. Take care of that Black Walnut tree. The roots are it's strength.

[@TheTexanDetector]

Glad to see you on the Tube been a little while. Hopefully you've been good and a great holidays. Crazy the things you find in the ground.

[@MandoDando]

It is so sad how we are ruining the earth. Still enjoy all your videos. Keep them coming.

[@bartimus3197]

Having dug many bottle dumps I can say for certain that I have found 100 year old light bulbs that were not broken.

[@deborahrobinson5266]

Having a fun time watching you having a grand time digging in the trash pit! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!🎉

[@bcrouch2626]

So funny watching you dig up stuff oooing and awwwing over things I used as a child in the 70's and 80 ' s lol. Everything was glass mostly somethings plastic until they hit aluminum

Hey Harry! Merry Christmas!

I love your videos and have watched so many...and I would have to say...I think today's was one of my favorite ever!!! I didn't want it to end, I can't wait until you do more, I just liked you finding more and more. :-) It seemed like a saw an old peanut butter jar, cheese whiz, salad dressing, ketchup, syrup, butter and so many other fun things...oh and a lot of the little pot pies. Just LOVED it! Merry Christmas!!!

[@sandyhansen]

Awesome dig. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to Part 2. Merry Christmas to you and your family!! 🎄🎁⛄️❄️

Thanks Sandy & Ron! Merry Christmas!

[@annettecoby2343]

Little triangle type bottle with white lid looks like a travel sized scope

[@annsmith4721]

What fun! The first bottle with the fancy edges you showed looks like a Kraft Salad Dressing from back in the 1960's.

[@SJsmixedAdventures]

Fun!

[@BIKERFLASH1]

Hi, JD. Looks like you are enjoying what many others would like to be doing on this glorious holiday, with skies so blue and sun on your face, on another digging adventure. Nice lamp you found for your display. Though there aren't any finds of monetary value, they will be historically valuable at least. FYI The green Canada Dry and lemon juice bottles are great for rooting plants, set them in a sunny window. Looks nice and green is the most soothing color to the human eye. The honey bees were after the yellow, flower colored margarine tubs. Wonder if there are older relics in the opposite direction on the side of the hill? Til next time, May God Our Father Bless You with Many More Days such as this, Brother.

[@Jimlovescock]

That looked like an old Whishbone salad dressing bottle with the wide mouth.

[@tt55k]

BAMA Woods & Water , that’s what said , he is not in the 60’s, he is in the 80’s , and an El Paso salsa jar

[@downtonviewer]

I (happily) had forgotten that TV dinners used to come in divided tin trays that cooked in the _oven_ . We've come a looong way, baby! I'm sittin' here sayin', "Joy dishwashing liquid, Planter's peanuts jar, Smucker's jam jar, 7-Up bottle...etc" This is fun! Crisco oil...LOL! I'll say one thing, these were not poor folk. They had all the name brand stuff. I think the "generic" bottles were apple cider vinegar. Those little tins were _vy-ennys_ (know to the rest of the world as Vienna Sausages). I have no idea what the tiny spray cans were. Blue plastic was Downey. The little triangular glass bottle was nail polish remover. Blue flowers is on a Blue Bonnet margarine tub. WHEW! That was a nice long video for our Christmas afternoon. Thanks, JD. Merry Christmas!

[@tammyfreeman6802]

Merry Christmas JD. The little tin cans are Vienna Sausage cans, they still make those today. Surprised they held up so well. The blue plastic bottle with the white cap is Downy Fabric Softener. Some of the small round jars are old mustard jars. Keep the videos coming, love your channel.

[@malinda8668]

Pruning shears would be perfect on those small roots & also a small hand rake for digging. Lamp is awesome, Hey the gopher likes the way you dig, he wants to know how much you charge LOL.

No wonder you haven't done a hunt video in a while. You've been spending all your time at the gym and tan salon. J/K brother 👊 That was a great video. This warm weather has been such a wonderful gift. Get out and enjoy it. Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and your family.

[@marymisdom3955]

You won't finish that dump any time soon. I bet it goes deeper and much older. Merry Christmas. Thank you for sharing.

[@DigginWithDeej]

Yes it is crazy but we find full light bulbs and complete tv tubes all the time. So far looks like lots of Karo syrup, coffee & tea jars. The liquid you are finding inside the bottles and jars is Ground water. Go to the hardware and get a 3 tine rake and a small hand rake digger, it will help you alot. Blue plastic is fabric softener. Kraft mayonnaise. I am surprised no marbles yet. You are approaching the 50s when they threw out marbles. The broken green bowl is called Jadite. Huge depression or cut glass bowl. Still watching JD.

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

Well, you made me feel old with this video. I identified the syrup bottle and ham lid before you figured it out. Oh, and one of those "fancy" bottles was a salad dressing bottle. 😜

[@edspeck4647]

The plain bottles look like ketchup, mustard, syrup and vinegar or pickle. The Kraft was most likely mayonnaise. Amber bottles may have been for bleach or other cleaning type detergents. The blue plastic was probably a fabric softener. And back in the day when these style of soda bottles were around we drank quarts, not liters. Now the lamps are nice. Especially if you get them working!

[@taltaro8734]

WOW ..that Jade East..was from the 60's I remember that name..I just love these videos..I'm still watching it but had to comment right away when I saw that..I'll sure I'll write more..this is great

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Yep. I just cleaned that one up and posted it on Facebook. The bottle is in nearly perfect condition with almost all the cologne still inside. Someone must not have liked the scent. LOL. There's one new in the box on eBay for $79.99.

[@joshuacouldren138]

Wow dude awesome find I'm a treasure hunter here in arizona for gemstones and artifacts but wow must be unusually warm over in the east sure is not here it's 45 when we should be 60 or 65 below average that s going to change you will see winter come Dec threw January at the end of next week be safe happy holidays

[@benitabasich8458]

oh!!! an old tv dinner alum tray!

[@jeremydeforest809]

All of those look like ones I used back in the 1980's.Tennesee still used beer and soda cans with the 70s pull tabs until the late 80s or until the 90s.They came out with ballpark Frank's in like 1982 I think.70s lamp I think.

It was cold most of the month. But then shot up into the 60's the last 2 days. Definitely enjoying while it lasts!

You sure have a lot of walnuts there. Antique crank corn sheller works great for getting the outer skin off the walnuts.

[@JanVafa]

The tippytop if a lamp is the finial!

[@mr2hound]

That long, heavy iron thing at the start of video looks like an auger used to drill post holes from a gas powered hole digger. Interesting video as always.

[@Objective-Observer]

The small aluminum 'pots/small cans.' The tall one looked like vienna sausage pot and the short small one looked like Hormel Deviled ham. 13.07 If you have an Ivory dish soap bottle, then this one is probably Joy Lemon scent dish washing soap. 14:06 Definitely a Salad Dressing bottle, as others have said, probably Wish Bone brand. 16:27 looks like a cleaner bottle: Lysol or Pine Sol. 20:20 That could be pickles or saurkraut. 21:22 The little plastic bottle was Prell shampoo. The White Glass short jar with a lid, is Ponds Cold Cream. 22:03 Grey Poupon, maybe. 30:30 Taster's Choice Coffee jar. 49:13 Looks like an early Sunny D bottle. 51:00 Kraft Mayonaise 54:52 The Pie Tins the small one is a [Swanson] Pot Pie. The large one could be a JiffyPop popcorn. 58:10 The little Triangle Bottle is definitely mouthwash. 1:00:01 The world's largest pull tab is from a very small canned ARMOUR Ham. What a fun day with Urban Archeology. I agree with some folks, you have materials from the 80's, but I do think this could stretch back to the 60's.

Swanson TV dinner tray. The one you joked about drinking out of was a ketchup. The green one looked like a lemon juice. The one the lid collapsed into looked like an instant coffee bottle. Seen these and used these before.

Yes ginger ale bottles

That part you said was a piece of a lamp I think it's a spark plug!

[@terrythompson5025]

That was someone's personal landfill. Years of dumping. May take years to dig it.

The flower plastic tub is Parkay butter/margarine.

[@jpol3808]

It's funny how you laughed about the different products you found, when now days there are literally hundreds more products than they had then. Great video and no wonder that gopher gave up the dig. He could gnaw on glass forever and not move an inch. Merry Christmas. Jpol. Can't wait for part 2.
