The Valley of Broken Dreams: 1000s of Civil War era Bottles 👀

[@manderson3231]

Great video! So much great stuff, even if we had to imagine those broken bottles all whole again!! Loved it!!!😊

[@CrickDiggersInc]

You are welcome and rumor has it them Crick Digger Boys found a spot with some intact botts 😉

[@rickybrogden898]

Nice video Travis! I live in South Boston VA , about 18 miles from Buffalo Springs. My father found a trash pile full of Broken lithia bottles. He kept digging and found 3 perfect bottles. So don't give up on that dump. It was great seeing new diggers, the kids were great.

[@CrickDiggersInc]

That’s wild and encouraging brother man awesome and definitely gonna give that spot some more attention.

[@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat]

Trav, bummer you and Will found so many broken bottles, looked like they were plowed over at one time. The two bottles you found were awesome. Loved all of the tops you saved, such beautiful colors. Chris and his kids sure had fun metal detecting. It was fun seeing their excitement. Great wrap up as always. 👏👏👍😀

[@CrickDiggersInc]

Thank you sister ladies I can’t believe how popular this video is , hoping we can get into some whole ones next time out there

[@BigfootBottler-rc8te]

Man that area seems like it’s got great potential , definitely a good age.

[@chrissettles4127]

That sewing machine peddle is nice.

[@SnapScavenge]

Nice. I’m from pa not far from Duquesne. Heck of a spot.

Hi, I think the metal ring is for lashing a rope to for cattle or horses. The broken bit of metal with it is the remains of a spike that you would have driven into a fence post or tree. The clay domed item you found is most likely a bung that was hammered into a beer barrel after filling, until you were ready to put a pouring tap in. We find them over here in the U.K. Interesting video, if only the bottles were whole !!

[@CrickDiggersInc]

You are exactly right I think. Some other buddies of mine suggested the same thing. Very cool I didn’t know about the barrel bung first one I ever found in 11 years. Thanks for the info and also definitely going back in hopes for some whole ones this time. A cobalt would be insane

[@gregorypoole5648]

Hey, Travis:That was an amazing old dumping site you guys were at in a secret location.What a scene of broken bottle devastation.I was thinking it could be from 1 or 2 pioneer hotels or saloons nearby.Seems to be indicated by more liquor and beer bottles than sodas, etc.Imagine if just a few dozen were intact...what a sight.So this dates from early 1860s? The hutch pieces maybe date it no later than 1880s.Anyway, it's incredible and worth the effort to check out.

[@rockkhound943]

Looked like a bottler dump all the discards and rejected botts maybe . Big bummer tho lol. Thanks for sharing dude

[@jerrysadventures8952]

looks like you had fun I enjoy your video

[@CrickDiggersInc]

Thank you I appreciate you

[@carrierifenburg4429]

Man I wanna dig with yall one day ! Looks so fun

[@CrickDiggersInc]

That would be 😎

[@williammurrow58]

The iron piece with the W or M is a buggy step and the ring is from a horse hame. Man what a bunch of criers in that dump!

[@jardigsvermont]

Is a Hame a part of the head halter? Or the piece it clips onto?

[@williammurrow58]

Has nothing to do with the halter. Hard to explain so best to look it up

[@jardigsvermont]

@williammurrow58 its part of the collar that attached to a wagon or plow.

[@CrickDiggersInc]

Thanks for the info brother man that’s so cool and the landowners are pretty excited to see what else is hiding out there

[@deloradeabel8487]

A nice hunting video!

[@CrickDiggersInc]

Thank you glad you enjoyed

[@garycousino]

Many years ago some kid probably came across that dump and smashed those bottles

[@thisguy3800]

The brass piece is an 1860's women's belt half. It was purely decorative and usually made from silk.

[@CrickDiggersInc]

Oh wow that’s so cool, really appreciate the help info my brother man.

[@BrandonDeWolfe-x5n]

That pottery item you are calling a mold is a demijohn stopper.

[@CrickDiggersInc]

I was told it’s a barrel bung but demo stopper would be awesome to I’ve got a few of the demi John’s never found a stopper or seen a pottery stopper but very cool. Appreciate the info.

[@debbiestumm511]

That is so sad the bottles were broken so badly you couldn't get but 2 decent whole ones!!!

[@CrickDiggersInc]

On our first initial trip anyway but even one 1870 bottle was worth the trip can’t wait to do further searching of the area.

[@DCHoosier62]

Ohmy goshes! I am fighting to not hit fast forward! 😂

[@CrickDiggersInc]

Some amazing stuff is gonna come from that place 👀

[@FoxHound0985]

The piece you thought was a toy pistol is a ramrod pipe for an old rifle or shotgun.

[@CrickDiggersInc]

Oh nice that’s even cooler, thanks for the info appreciate you.

[@jardigsvermont]

Must be a site that was previously dug?! Whatta you think?

[@CrickDiggersInc]

I don’t think it’s dug no just all on surface glass 3 ft thick

[@jardigsvermont]

@@CrickDiggersInc wild!!!

[@roccovolpendesta7032]

Marble stands for all those blob tops?

[@CrickDiggersInc]

Something is gonna be done not sure yet

[@debbiestumm511]

Maybe a pull for a door?

[@DCHoosier62]

Did y’all give up at the base of the tree?? If no, what was found? Every time I hit on something by a tree base, my mind goes crazy thinking, someone buried a treasure at the base of this tree so they could remember where it was. 😂😂😂

[@CrickDiggersInc]

Was a large piece of metal, they ended up getting it out but I don’t think I ever filmed it 😆 was long after we started detecting. I always think the same thing though when it’s at base of a tree or under a giant root 😆

[@brettbittner9383]

The valley of cries suxs my freind. It doesn't make much sense to why it all busted up. Happy hunting

[@CrickDiggersInc]

Think it was done prior to dumping or as someone else mentioned possibly relocated but we did discover 5 more spots exactly like that so I’m really not sure yet. Gotta be some killer whole stuff in there somewhere. Not giving up on it yet.

[@howarddenney5331]

Must have been dumped there already broken.

[@SkipRawls]

Most likely a dump that was moved and dumped there 50 or60 years ago. Bulldozers had there way with them. Dump was closer to town and they wanted to build where it was

[@CrickDiggersInc]

Possibly but rumor has it them crick digger boys found a spot with some whole intact stuff 😉

[@chrissettles4127]

Good video
