When collabing stick to your principles! Don't be afraid to speak your mind when something is going on that you don't approve of. I've said this before would be a dream to see you and Aquachigger in a video together.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Aquachigger and myself are talking about getting together real soon!

[@atuuschaaw]

♥ I've never been concerned with the monetary value of the stuff I collect, but the memories I have made while on the hunt, are priceless! In regard to the collaboration, follow your heart. ♥

[@therelaxcentral]

Brandon, you should definitely come over to England and collaborate with either Si-Finds, Nicola White Tideline Art, or bottlediggertom.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Would love that!

[@shawnmccomb1446]

Or the mudpies!

[@indigomoon4991]

I love them too! And Northern mudlarks, the mudpies, and Manchester mudlarks too

[@ryand.8176]

Well Brandon, it has both positive and negative. You are correct, it will bring the greedy people that will just destroy to find a bottle, the trolls will get way worse and the more people looking means you will find less. The decision is yours and I wish nothing but success for you and your channel. I enjoy the down home family friendly channel you give us!✌️🖖🤘😁

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thankfully I trust my skill set as most of my areas are plundered weekly by other hunters. I think regardless of how many new people show up there is always more to be found it just takes more leg work!

[@robbybobby6483]

It is the people who are overpriced common bottles and ripping new collectors that are the problem. They drive newbies away and give the sport and all of us a bad name. I hate con artists & thiefs.

[@michellesoto1787]

If it’s with DALLMTY IT WOULD BE AMAZING! He respects nature,Respects others. He is truly an amazing young man. You don’t reach 10 million for nothing. If it’s him. I love your channel.

[@davidbeeler6379]

Do what is best for you. Bottle hunting is your passion. The history is what makes great.

[@kathyhodges7054]

Yay it’s Friday and antique archaeology thank you for taking us along as we sit in our arm chairs it’s so much fun be safe God bless you and your family🙏

[@carolinereisinger4070]

Hey Brandon. Much of the same things that motivates and drives you to share and grow your channel is a motivater that is equally desired by others. It is true, you can not control what others do, but make no mistake, the exposure of locations will absolutly change the game and those locations will most likely be pilfered and plundered. You dont owe anyone anything. If you can do it without location exposure, that would be your best bet. You have only to look back on history to understand much of human nature. Your gut instincts are almost always right. Bottom line is this, understand the potential consequences clearly, then make a choice. love your show. Good luck!..

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thankfully the collab area would be in a different state haha!

[@chrisackerley1842]

Brandon - I have a friend who explores abandoned mines, shoots video of his explorations, and puts his videos up on KZbin. When he was just starting, he spent a Summer collaborating with a friend, a mine explorer from Canada. His channel grew tremendouly. That was not what is important, though. What is important is those two guys produced some truly fantastic videos! They brought a lot of pleasure to a lot of people. My friend's channel grew from 1K subs to 125K + subs in a little over a year. You're a young man. You'e got a hobby you really love. I say "Go For It!" You will expose a lot of people to a fun and interesting hobby. While doing so, a lot of nice bottles will be found that might not otherwise have been found. Yes, some scumbags will get involved in bottle hunting. You have already seen that. But isn't that true in every part of life? Stay strong, shun the scumbags, and have fun! Follow you're dream!

[@terremcpheeters2769]

You have gotten me obsessed now.

[@jimthompson9992]

Go with your gut, Brandon...but keep your "pepto bismol" handy! Don't let the big channel glamour blind you cause even apparently nice guys can screw over you...you're on your way to 40k subs, you're on the way yourself! People like your channel for who YOU are! 👍🇺🇸

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks Jim and well said!

[@sherryh4578]

Oh man, go for it! Educate, educate, educate as much as you can and you will be a great advocate for the hobby. It will be beneficial for your channel as well as the hobby. Go for it!!

[@catherineengle4196]

If its a reputable channel go for it. The history does not need to be lost. I was born in the 60s and just telling my children and grandchildren stories of my lifetime and the changes I have seen over the years, fascinates them. When I tell about my mom's time of 1920s and the great depression, they are really intrigued. History is lost unless we pass the information down to the next generation. God bless

[@jerrybailey6584]

Go for it Brandon, you just about always emphasize that most bottles are not worth much. I love the history you give.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks Jerry!

[@christolomeo]

The Hoover boys. You should collaborate with them.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Would love to go up to the northeast to hunt with those guys for sure!

[@jerrybaldwin7543]

Go for it buddy you can't control what other people do you can just hope they do the right things hook up with nugget

[@adventurearchaeology]

Well said Jerry!

[@cathybenson5119]

That's who I thought of when he said the person who contacted him. I reckon you should go for it mate. 😉 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@jimthompson9992]

When it comes to bottle channels...Digger Dave and Shoveling Shelly are great people! 👍👍👍

[@adventurearchaeology]

I wouldn't mind meeting up with those guys.

[@thomasbaker9332]

If you decide to collaborate - perhaps you can emphasize : the history, the joys of the hobby, etc. and downplay the monetary aspects (not a get rich quick prospect). And, if the channel - you're considering working with - agrees to this format - it could be a win/win.

[@trentnunley6161]

Bullets and Buttons. Great channel and an awesome guy.

[@eaglerider1826]

Brandon , thanks for bringing us along . I enjoy collection both bottles and coins for the history . Every time I find something I ask myself who else in the past has held this item . It also brings back some very precious memories of bottle hunting with my dad .

[@adventurearchaeology]

I hope my daughter has those memories the older she gets!

[@SandyD2022]

I think you will make the right decision. It might also show more people how to protect the rivers from the crap that gets dumped into it. Think positive about it, and think how many more will learn the right way to bottle search from a pro. The Hoover Boys, and Sidestep Adventures, Down the road with Brian Mallard, and The Best family Homestead. My first guy I started watching was JD from the History Traveler, and Cliff from The Wandering Woodsman.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks Sandy!

[@johnnygober1332]

Not sure what's better your KZbin or tictok videos

[@adventurearchaeology]

I appreciate that man!

[@vickorywilson7606]

If you do not, someone else will. So go for it!

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

That's a lovely hutch, Brandon! I love pumpkinseed flasks, too, that was a heartbreaker. I'd love to see you collaborate with the Chigg, but I think you should take advantage of this New Orleans opportunity!💖

[@wadehendryx7378]

Done right, I don't see no negative there at all. Your channel will definitely grow and whoever you're collaborating with will have more videos to put out of a different kind. Go for it Brandon.

[@belowme1908]

A colab with the crick diggers would be cool, they seem like some down to earth fellas, that really enjoy what their doing like yourself.

[@ykg1495]

I’ve been watching almost 2 years on and off. As long as the guy lets you have a disclaimer in the video about how to dig bottles correctly and with permission, I’d say go for it!

[@jettyman54]

I enjoy your videos. I am an Alabama native and have realized that sometimes bigger is not always better. Anyhow, do what you feel is right for you. Keep 'em coming.

[@leattaslone1800]

Yes! Never pass up a chance to go someplace different! I would love to see bottles from another place! Go for it!

[@AlienJT]

Hey Brandon, for me, I like it when folks collaborate, especially when when we are exposed to new pieces of history. Like you, I’d be worried about folks with ulterior motives who’d swoop in and pillage the sites. Whatever you decide, good luck on your next adventure!

[@cynthiaray6474]

Go for it! Nothing ventured nothing gained. Good luck with it.

[@adventurearchaeology]

My thoughts exactly!

[@carrieann1640]

Totally agree with the benefit of wading in creeks.

[@kathylincoln8917]

It's one heck of an opportunity. You make new friends is a plus. Teach what you can..

[@micah06v8]

Brandon, I think you also need to bear in mind that it will not only possibly increase your competition, as well as people following your channel to track where you're going; but there are so many unscrupulous people out there, that I worry about people tearing up the environment trying to find where they "think" these rare, valuable bottles might be. I would have serious concerns about not only the impact on the hobby, but the impact on the environment as well.

[@stephenseefeldt7473]

Another cool ADVENTURE...keep up the great work!

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks man!

[@stephenseefeldt7473]

@@adventurearchaeology ur so welcome

[@karynbrown7519]

Depends on who it is! They must have true respect for bottles and have respect for you and your channel. If Cricket Diggers or a channel like them, I say yes.... Aquachigger would also be great! They are both professional like you. 👍

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks Karyn! This guy is a real professional. So we shall see!

[@timmurphy5137]

i was also thinking about the chig

[@ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

I think that's a great opportunity to grow your channel. Especially if your end goal is to do this full time to support you and your wonderful family. Good luck, happy hunting and take care. ✌

[@lavernehabig2592]

YES! DR.P.

[@Carolbearce]

I love how you walk the creeks and collect bottles. I understand privy digging to because some amazing things can be found. I’m also impressed how the holes are filled. I agree with you though some may not have respect for the land and the owners of that land. But I think you should do the collab. It could be an awesome adventure.

[@neillh]

Thanks for sharing another great adventure 👍

[@BigfootDigger]

Another enjoyable video remember everyone had heirlooms from their grandparents and great grandparents so although they may have been poor they did have sentimental items and wonderful handmade jewelry etc.. hope you have a great weekend.all the best..Bigfootdigger

[@adventurearchaeology]

Very true!

[@BigfootDigger]

Stay safe and well Brandon best regards..thanks

[@roblafay317]

Do the collab man! You deserve it! Love the creek walks:)

[@glassfromthepast1205]

Amazing hutch really wish Indiana had more pictoral hutches.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Alabama is just a hot zone for pictorials!

[@brianholcomb940]

I believe that most people are good and well respect the places they are hoping to explore! My father always asked the neighborhood farmers if we could go horse riding through their orchards! Of course there were people who rode their atv's through the orchards and made a mess of the roads and trails! But the farmers always let us ride! I think you should try this collaborative effort and if it's not for you then you can respectfully separate because you are a very honest person and are respectful in your own right! I don't know if he would be interested but maybe, I watch Jake from DALLMYD videos and he has been with Wild Kyle before so maybe introducing Jake to this would be cool to watch! I have watched your videos foe awhile now and they are pretty awesome and the knowledge is great! Thanks for sharing!

[@barbhults6106]

I absolutely think you should collaborate I think it would be excellent for the bottle community

[@KimSchaar]

Love your channel 😀 I like that you give the history

[@themobleys]

I’d love to see that collaboration!

[@richblake3491]

I love you videos and all your information on these bottles. Thank you for sharing these finds.

[@terremcpheeters2769]

yes

[@farroljohnson304]

Brother, if it makes you happy and you have chance to grow your channel, go for it. I’ll be watching to see what happens. Good luck and God Bless

[@leighwhitney7569]

I SAY GO FOR IT !!!!!!!

[@steveyounger465]

I really enjoyed the metal detecting segment because that is where I am focused on but there should be a ditch or holler where these homes threw their trash which might produce some bottles.

[@chuckjenkins4348]

YES go for it. You have the potential to be seen by millions of NEW viewers! Imagine if only 10% subscribed onto your channel in the first view ! You can’t pass that up.

[@metaldetectingthenortheast1294]

12:58 clock movement plate. Probably brass. May have maker mark on it.

[@leighswogger4272]

Brandon I would go to New Orleans and if nothing else have a good time. If you don't like the vibe when you get there, turn it in to a mini vacation. There is so much cool history and beautiful scenery you wouldn't be board. So go!

[@dawnhaynes7784]

Mudlarkers would be nice there far away but I love watching them they share a lot of history like u

[@WelshPhasmid]

A collaboration with some of the UK bottle diggers or mudlarkers would be cool. But i know planning that wouldn't be easy.

[@therelaxcentral]

bottlediggertom, Nicola White, Si-Finds etc.

[@gigi23602]

someone else mentioned below Crick Diggers. Couple of good ole boys from Western MD. They know their bottles that they get from creeks, rivers, privies, etc. They aren't afraid to get dirty, that's for sure.

[@dwightpickens2895]

Love the 🐫 hutch

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks Dwight!

[@lmgottschalkophile]

Go for it! It sounds very interesting. You do great work.

[@jewlmoore]

I have always enjoyed Digger Dave and shoveling Shelley!, Wish you well on what ever you decide.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thank you kindly

[@tonyjordan1222]

Always ,an I know you do , maintain the integrity of the hobby itself, an I can already see a thousand people trapsing up an down that beautiful stream an now the collaboration with someone I got only one name to give a fair fair person with great knowledge of what makes yal tick, an he is the g.o.a.t the chigg, aquachigger. He is a great find for me take care from Tennessee PEACE my friend an friends of the south .tony from Tennessee.

[@michaelmoore7550]

Always enjoy your videos! Adding New Orleans to the mix will be interesting to watch. Go for it!

[@danielblair2934]

Bullets and buttons would be a great one to collaborate with!

[@katbot2190]

This is your decision and I'll pray you make the right one for your family, friends and hobby. I'm satisfied with finding my bottles at garage and estate sales because I'm not that big of a collector and there aren't any creeks around me to walk in that would have good stuff in it. Plus our creeks are sandy and you sink.

[@Strikeagle911]

Go for it and while filming with the other channel mention the importance of respect for the hobby and why it is important….but definitely do it. The exposure will be big.

[@robbie.205]

Guess what day it is? Yes, that's right, happy Friday adventure archaeology time.

[@sonnypate6808]

Killer Hutch you should colab with every one you can. The idea is to grow your channel. I really enjoy when you hunt with other people. It adds a different perspective and if you go to new areas people will find it interesting. Just my opinion but go for it.👍☮️

[@badmom2goody29]

Digger Dave and Shoveling Shelly

[@stevespears3341]

Hello from Tennessee. Check it out you can always go home. Great finds. I’m getting on a plane now to go to New York City. Have fun be safe and I’ll be watching.

[@adventurearchaeology]

I’d love to meet up with Kurt!

[@cferguson3368]

Other KZbinrs: I've watched some videos from Adventurous 4life (Canada). They have even mentioned your channel. Their enthusiasm for bottles is fun to watch.

[@reddirtrhodes2039]

I would love to see a Exploring Alabama, Zach Byrd, Aquachigger collab.

[@raymondspooner5553]

Hey Brandon just started following you love your channel simply because of the history you bring to the viewer that they are not even teaching anymore my wife has family in Southern Alabama would love to go on a creek walk or detector walk with you I don't have a channel so I'm not looking for followers I'm just very interested in what you do

[@adamberry2508]

If you don't mind distance Si Finds in the uk is a collab that I would love to see. He does some awesome bottle digging like you

[@adventurearchaeology]

Ive spoke with Si once before. Seems like a nice guy!

[@gayle4804]

Awesome finds 👏

The copper poppers have dug privies. They might be a good collaboration.

[@adventurearchaeology]

I don't know those guys, Ill have to check their channel out!

[@lynnerodgers4461]

Well, do you fancy a trip to Scotland, England? Thre are some wonderful mudlarks, bottle hunters, metal detectorists in the UK. So much history over there. Let mr know and I'll gets some names and areas for you. I would love to come to Alabama and learn from you and your collaborators.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Bucket list trip for sure!

[@jimcole389]

Great video ,look forward to your channel each week

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks Jim!

[@Downy_McBrownie]

I would do the collab. 1st, it's going to help you in the long run, with the growth of the channel. 2nd, it's going to opens up some more connections, and 3th, you will be showing this other youtuber the right way when it comes to doing all this. I understand why you may not want to do the collab, with the fear of making bottle hunting more mainstream , but if you say no, this other youtuber may just pick someone else, that may not have, the same respect that you have, for this hobby. Either way at the end of all this, you're going to have more people getting into this hobby, I would prefer this be done the right way, over the wrong way.

[@darkwolf5531]

These kids be Super Cool to meet up with Digger Dave & Shovelin Shelley Beeler

[@041bubba]

Once a hobby becomes a business, it no longer is r a hobby. Good luck, God Bless

[@brucecrouch4753]

Collaborating with that large of a channel is no doubt going to double your subscriptions. Really something to think about.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Ya its a huge ordeal haha!

[@clockworkgnome4049]

You got to do it for the fun and the history. Just like metal detecting. There is not allot of money in it if any in most cases. It is a hobby not a job. Might be good for you to collaborate. Sure it will be fun for you. Thanks for sharing.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Exactly!

[@MACD69]

I know you were r talking with aquachigger, it would be cool to see a collab!

[@MsKindaSorta]

Aquachigger collab would be a great fit.

[@jeaniafox8815]

I like watching me because you enjoy what you're doing and I learn a lot about the bottles and everything I don't care about the monetary I matary I enjoy watching you walk down the Creek and get so excited when you find a bottle and then you tell us what it is or you give us a history lesson I enjoyed that you are the only one I watched doing this aint Clayton

[@adventurearchaeology]

I appreciate that

[@todd7619]

I'd say go for it Brandon, a collaboration with a huge channel like that will get you out to a larger audience that you deserve to have. Also, does Casey have a channel?

[@adventurearchaeology]

He does not but we may be working on a combo channel together soon!

[@rodneyjones8823]

I'm still waiting for you to come up here to VA to dig some Civ with Matt and potentially find a 1600s onion or mallet. But Aquachigger has been finding some good bottles lately. That would be a great video.

[@DetectDigSmile]

Great Video, I liked the bottles you found. I am going to start hunting some streams in PA

[@theredheadedadventures2289]

Thanks for the shout out steve, I would love to do a collaboration with AA since i moved to Waco Tx.
