Love the videos at the antique malls! My husband and I live in northeastern Ohio. We are planning a weekend trip to Marietta after watching your videos. Thank you so much for all the information you give while looking at bottles, insulators and crocks. Please keep up the great work!👍👍👍👍👍

[@jerilynjohnson3773]

I'm Jeri ( short for Jerilyn) my husband's name is Tom. We are Tom and Jeri. We started watching you and we can't seem to get enough. Love the squirrel and love all that you do. We're from Cincinnati but live in Indiana. Have an awesome day. Would just die if we win your give away.

[@pauladenicola5583]

Congratulations on the 15,000 subscribers Rocks! The work you do will definitely keep growing your channel. Stay warm and safe. Squirrel Man is a huge star now. Keep them coming.

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks! You too! I went to another store today....and antique mall and filmed for 45 mins. Ill have on another video in a day or two like this one

[@jaybales3160]

Excellent video. Good to see you trading up to improve your collections. All in all still a good day on the river. Enjoyed seeing the spoiled Squirrel Man. He can be a bit camera shy from time to time. Thanks for sharing your collections and knowledge. Best of luck on your next outing. Stay healthy 😷👍

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks Jay. Ill have on another Antique Store video tomorrow or the next day at a different HUGE store that has everything you could ever want

[@Oldmantreasure]

Nice trip to the antique store Rocks. Really like those insulators. Nice big tool and broken points too. Thanks for sharing.

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks for watching! I will go to other more packed antique stores later this week and look for bottles and arrowheads to buy. To bad on those points....I think I went 4 times on the river for like 3 hours a trip and that is all I came up with. Pretty tough going the last trips out. I am about due for another nice one

[@kathieware9408]

Thank you for the day trip. He has some great stuff. Any find is a great find on the river.

[@rockscousteau]

Thank You Kathie. I went to a huge antique mall today and filmed for almost an hour. Ill have on a video in a day or two...Hope you guys are doing well

[@normaferro4797]

Hi to little Squirrel man!! Congrats on the nice items you got at Dougs store! He sure has good prices. I like the water worn point must be super old! Very unique scraper also. Take care.

[@rockscousteau]

Yea he has some cool stuff. I went to a different store today and got some pretty nice stuff. They have so much stuff at this place I went to today...the video will be almost an hour long of just all antiques everywhere

[@pamelajames2787]

Love your Mom's fireplace mantle!

[@trevorsmith7372]

Nice thats awesome cant wait thanks again 😎👍

[@rockscousteau]

No problem 👍

[@jeremymetzger3403]

Great way to make room in the garage. You got some nice things in that trade!

[@rockscousteau]

I think so too! It is out of control. I am going to have to take multiple truck loads to places to trade.

[@curtissmith5875]

Love all your videos, thank you always for sharing!

[@trevorsmith7372]

Thanks for the video I enjoyed it you have a good one 👍😎

[@rockscousteau]

Glad you enjoyed it I went to an antique mall today that is as big as a Walmart. I filmed all kinds of stuff....bought 5 or 6 bottles and got an hour long video......day or two Ill have it on

[@scottwitt1397]

Rocks those antique stores are the best. The smaller the town the better.

[@rockscousteau]

Yea....they are. The stores in places like Marietta Ohio and Wheeling Wv are so high prices usually. That Mason jar I traded for would have been $50.00 in a store in Marietta. He only had 25 on it and would have taken 15 cash. I will hit other stores in the valley here soon and do videos. There are many antique stores in marietta

[@kathisease9924]

I love a good trip to the antique shop for a good swap:) I sure would like to take a tour of your parent's home and your's as well. Thanks for the chance to see Squirrel Man again:) Stay warm out there....goodness it looks cold!

[@rockscousteau]

I will hot some other more high end stores later this week. I am going to start hitting every antique store from Wheeling to Marietta in the valley. Start doing videos of my finds in those places too.

[@johnduffey2409]

Great idea to swap a few for a few goods worth having stay warm

[@rockscousteau]

You got that right! I am going to have to do a lot of swapping. I have so many bottles in my garage and basement my mom told me she was going to call the TV show HOARDERS...LOL

[@brianlloyd2256]

Greetings “Rocks” from Cody, Wyoming. I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your channel; every morning after feeding my rescued mustangs I look for one of your new episodes. I have had a lifelong association with the American Indian; as a child in 1960 I was a POW WOW dancer and made all of my dance regalia, this led to a desire to make the most authentic items I could; I have made historical items for museums, the movie industry, and re-enactors. While I can identify beadwork by tribe and date it from across the room; I know almost nothing about stone artifacts. I have learned much from you. I also admire and appreciate how you care for your parents and pets; you are a good man with a kind heart. I am sending you some funds and hope that you can do something nice for your folks and get some treats for your pets. Perhaps there will be enough for some kiwi and cashews for the Squirrel Man and a good rake for yourself. All my best wishes, stay safe……….. Brian & Donna Lloyd (not Donna Evans)

[@rockscousteau]

Thank You Brian. If you are the person who sent me the 200.00 paypal donation......man....I do not even know what to say. My email is [e-mail] I would love to send you something as a thank you. I tried responding to the email on the paypal donation and the emails I sent both came back and said they could not be delivered. And no other info was on the paypal donation.

[@jarmyvicious]

Lots of cool stuff everywhere you go! Just not sure if You are chasing It... or It is chasing You! A little bit of everything in this episode! Brace up for the next blast of weather, I think it is on the way! Cheers!

[@rockscousteau]

Yes it is horrid here. I am going to go try and find a point on the river tomorrow maybe....may be to frozen...but it warmed up a bit today here--but it is going to get to 7 tomorrow night or the next night I think.

[@juliegriffin7609]

That's an awesome antique store! Great video Rocks!

[@rockscousteau]

I went to another big antique mall today....bought 4 or 5 nice old bottles and filmed 45+ mins of footage just lookin at antiques. Ill have on another video soon like this one

[@philsmith2346]

I've been meaning to run up to Sardis and buy some serious cheese. I forgot New Matamoris had a stop light lol. I've sent your story to a bunch of people who live near here, in hopes they'll check out the shop, just as I plan to do! Thank you for the reminder, Sir!

[@rockscousteau]

Thanks man. That Ables Cheese place got a new owner and it is much better now. I get cheese at that place some---it is pretty good

[@philsmith2346]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll get up to Sardis soonest!

[@outsiderramone2782]

Awesome Rocks! Great video during the winter! Congrats - just noticed you have 15k subscribers 👍

[@rockscousteau]

Ill have another one on in a day or two of another antique store

[@kathyscallan8338]

Power is on and off. Stay safe Rock

[@rockscousteau]

Luckily it never went out here. It was horrible cold and icy up till today....and now the sky is clear and sunny.....still cold but not near as bad.

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

That was a great trade, I love the Mason and that Smokey insulator. And that stoneware beer, OMG!!! The scraper was interesting, maybe notched for hafting? Love the Squirrel Buddy!💖

[@rockscousteau]

Id say that Mason is probably the best item. I never find many of those with the Maltese Cross on them for sale. You know it is not like I do not have 50 of those already.....but I just like the Mason jars the best. They just seem to always sell for good money if perfect.

[@jacque06henderson57]

Really enjoyed, show us a little nature.

[@rockscousteau]

It is warming up here now. Going to be 44 tomorrow...so i should be back to digging here in a day or two

[@tucsonbubba1574]

Love that beer and, of course, Squirrel Man. But I really like that antique store. Amazing that you have a crock from that exact building from when it was a grocery store. Wish I could travel back in time (on a temporary basis) to see what it looked like over 100 years ago. I'm so curious about history. But your streams are the closest approximation we can get!

[@rockscousteau]

I bought a really nice big West Virginia Brewing company bottle today in an antique mall...and filmed 40+ mins of just looking around. Ill have on another video like this tomorrow or the next day sometime

[@tfknauss]

Nice little store and like the trading. Good finds, thanks for sharing!

[@rockscousteau]

I will go to more Antique Stores around here in one of my next videos. There are many many down the river further in Marietta. I go to some in West Virginia as well

[@jerryreynolds282]

I finally found an arrowhead yesterday. Looks like a wolf's head. Cool video

[@rockscousteau]

That is awesome Jerry. Once you find one......you keep going you should find more. Hope you have some awesome luck......thanks for stopping by

Thanks 👍 I will hit other antique stores in the Ohio Valley Later this week. I am going to go to a bunch of them....and flip some of the finds and show profits an stuff like that in the future uploads. I am going to hit every store from Wheeling to Marietta

Rocks, You are a unique soul in the world of collecting. Thank you for taking us on this adventure.

Wow, thank you-I will hit more antique stores this week in other towns maybe

Congratulations! 15,000 subscribers. Loved seeing the store. The glass swans caught my eye. Cool you traded for pieces you wanted. Squirrel Man fur looks so much lighter brown. Pretty coat. Take care, later, Joyce. 🇺🇸❤️. ARROW *🎱

I will go to some other bigger antique stores and malls this week. There are lots more around here

THANK YOU

I'm gonna take a trip down there and visit the antique store soon. Definitely crappy weather were having here lately. Take care

Yea.....it has warmed up a little today. I may go arrowhead hunting tomorrow....it may still be frozen up....but Id say within a few more days it will not on the water at least

Cool Trades...

[@rockscousteau]

Yea not bad....better than a bunch of 1-2 dollar bottles I dont want laying in my garage. I like the Maltese Cross Mason jar the best.....I am going to clean it all up and get that water deposit stuff off the surface. That is a pretty good jar.

[@scottnock5241]

If love to hit that store up!!! Good vid

[@rockscousteau]

Wait till you see the other stores I hit. I filmed for 45 mins in a store today....they have it all...arrowheads...bottles...rare crocks....everything.

[@timbaltutan]

I know this video is 2 years old but, I wonder how much the purple insulator was.. I usually avoid cracked chipped ones too, but depending on the price, I would totally get that one until I find a better one for a decent price or when I have the proper budget! :)

[@EJBuddy]

I like the antique store videos.

[@rockscousteau]

There will be another one coming in a day or two....I went to a huge store today and filmed for almost an hour

[@barbarafritchie2000]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@williamcline9424]

I found a white point in a creek when I was around 13 years old. It was so smooth you couldn’t see any flaking on it. You got some nice things trading your extra bottles. The beer was really nice.

[@rockscousteau]

That is awesome!

[@rockscousteau]

Hope you find some more William. After you find one....you usually start getting onto them

[@sherriesmith2587]

Hey Rocks! Great vid! I love the "water worn" piece you found, even if it is broken! It's just wild to think how very old it must be! Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to see a picture of the last person to hold it before you picked it up?! .....cool. Also, Doug's store is awesome! I'd love to see more of it! Nice town, too! Btw, your mother's home is lovely! Really enjoyed the vid!

[@rockscousteau]

It would be awesome to be able to do that. I will go to more stores in the Ohio Valley like this later this week. I know of many.

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Good stuff. I'm still looking for one of those purple insulators ! lol

[@rockscousteau]

They have them on ebay. And perfect ones.....they get like 40-80 on there if they are real nice. I saw a bright purple Straight Sided coke in a store today

[@dennismajzlik90]

Nice trade items. Liking your drawings that show how the broken ones were shaped before getting broken. Were the jarred marbles in the shop from you? The black vase in the window; is it a glass one?

[@rockscousteau]

Thank You Dennis. I filmed for almost an hour today in an antique mall.....got 5 or 6 nice bottles......Ill have on another video like this one in a day or two

[@johnandersen8998]

Pick things according to rarity, chipped or not. Just don’t overpay. You can always buy up later. Just a thought.

[@rockscousteau]

This stuff is like anything....chip makes it worth 10-20% of what the value of a nice one would be. That insulator would not get over 20.00 on ebay. Most likely....10.00

[@EvanLightner304]

Have you ever visited the alley agate factory?? I guess it still stands but was burnt long ago. I’d like to go sift around there

What were the mason jars in the display case up front caught a glance of them they looked like pretty rare ones to me. i've collected 1858 jars for many years. one looked like a shield symbol with letter in it? not sure.

[@jackpinesavage7029]

I looked again and they are shield jars. Ive never had one of them jars and thinking they pretty rare. couldnt see price but might be a good trade for you.

[@rockscousteau]

Yes....those were 2 rare jars....but they are like $200-350.00 each. The colors on them are rare as well. The one jar is going to be in the next Mason Jar Bible book....or whatever it is called. If you want to know about them....you can call the guy. They are high end jars for sure....and if you are really into Mason Jars.....they are the jars you would want. He ships stuff.......and has a cell phone. He could send you images......If i was rich I would buy them both.....but those are out of my price range for glass items.

[@rockscousteau]

Yea...they are good ones. I just do not want to try and trade him for the best glass items he has in the store....I think one of them is like 250 and the other is 350. And I would say they are worth that. They are perfect....have beautiful color....I think the one is peach colored glass. And the other one is some odd color as well. In my opinion...they are the 2 best items in the entire store HANDS DOWN
