Treasure Hidden beneath a Snake's Den discovered while Antique Bottle Digging!

[@bruceritchie4382]

My jaw hit the floor, when I saw that awesome marble. Wow. At 64 I have thousands but that thing is ludicrous. Should you find out more about her, I would love to know what you find out. Thank you .

[@manderson3231]

As for the Marble, all I could find was an article from the Boston Globe, titled "$40 thousand dollars for a marble? Have you lost your you know what?" I could see the picture of the marble with a Victorian Woman on it, but couldn't get into the article, unless I subscribed to the newspaper. But it seems as though your marble might be very valuable!!! Congratulations!!!

[@tacocin]

The snake you didn't bring home looked like a coach whip. Harmless. Thanks for showing our no shoulders friends some love. Great idea to nurse the garter snakes until spring.

[@lindaegnash4773]

Thanks for a great dig Brandon. Love the marble keep us posted on what you find out. California perfume company was the original name of Avon

[@jamesmarshalla8565]

Wow Brandon, your shop is really coming together nicely! You guys found some cool bottles and marbles! Thanks again everybody!

[@shannonjustice9836]

That marble is really cool!! I myself have never seen one like that!! Nice dig everyone!! 💜🫶💜😊

Just watched a video on the news about the Lithium batteries used in some of the E bikes and scooters and other things. They have had over 400 explode and 49 deaths. So be careful of Lithium batteries. Check it out and just beware of the hazards. I would hate to see someone hurt or even die. Stay safe and keep on digging.

Wicked finds and cool snakes! Nice job!

The shapes of the bottles and jars tells an awesome story

[@cyberleaderandy1]

Well done Brandon on saving those two snakes. Im a sucker for saving wildlife if its in trouble and glad to see you think the same way.

[@JulieFuller-nv9oc]

Hello! I found your channel a few weeks ago and have been watching tons of older videos. I love your channel! And I have a suggestion (if you don 't already know) in regards to displaying your bottles. Have you heard of Quake Hold Museum Putty? Awesoome stuff! It's like Silly Putty or clay and you stick it on the bottom of stuff, then stick it to the shelf. It doesn't leave any residue, and holds super well. I use it in my china closet to keep stuff from rattling, or falling over.

[@TaneKarnes]

WOW on the marble. Keep us updated on it.

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

I love your shop, Brandon! The marble Tristan found is beautiful, I've never seen anything like it. Have fun with the baby snakes!❤

[@billkrueger3589]

Found my first Antique bottle on my property I purchased in southern Kentucky. Its Duraglas bottle. Nesbitts of California. I talk to the previous owner and she said there used to be a old poor house on the property. Hope I can find more treasures.. watch your channel every week.

Brandon please tell me you kept the melted Ball jar, that was so cool to see it in one piece. Wow Double A HQ is coming along nicely and yes you do have a lot of stuff like most of us guys. It looks awesome. Great video today and as always thanks for taking us along

[@oldbottlehunter4273]

The little small pitcher is a cream container for coffee used at restaurants.

[@plantsbirdsandnature8783]

Great video! The snakes are (probably hatch year) Rough Green Snakes. They’re primarily arboreal and exclusively insectivorous. I’ve heard they are pretty difficult to care for and a winter hibernation period is important to their life cycle. I think letting them go on the next warm day y’all have would give them the best chance of survival

[@adventurearchaeology]

Thanks so much for the advice! We will probably take it!

[@plantsbirdsandnature8783]

Yeah, of course! Definitely the best move in the interest of the snakes. It was probably really cool having some Greensnakes around for a while though, they are an amazing species!

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you for the adventure and seeing some nice finds especially the Marble with the face on it !

[@musichouse-]

You and your wife pulled out some very exciting bottles! Nice finds! I'm wondering why Tristan wasn't afraid to pull that Hutch out into the sun so quick. Isn't there a chance it can crack if taken out into temperature change? (I only learned this through the channel (: )

[@alienallen2983]

👍🙏>>>💚~~~ Thank You

[@FireFighterDetecting]

I can’t believe a marble like that could be found. Bucket list find for sure.

[@NebraskasEverything]

Brandon, cleaning must be rough for you. Here in Nebraska we have the winter, so once the newer, easier to dig dumps finally freeze, I just clean. But in those warmer states you dig round year and them bottles pile up. Keep up the good work, also, if your looking for more info on the marble, York Nebraska has the most valuable marble in the worl in their marble museum, maybe try reaching out to them about the marble y’all found

[@ivcmom75]

Thanks for taking us out Brandon. Fun dig!

[@brentmcmillan646]

That marble is very unique!!! Very interested to know exactly how old it is and if there are other variations.

[@MadelineRose-ep7fj]

Merry Christmas.😊

[@Brownschooler]

Have you ever thought about using a cordless drill with a spade bit to loosen the really hard pack soil?

[@JusDirtfishin]

My wife would have been like nope. I’m not a snake fan myself either. So they would have probably stayed right there. lol. Some nice saves Brandon.

[@Laurenkobida]

Hey new friend . Nice meeting you today at Cades cove . Can’t wait to treasure hunt with you soon

[@adventurearchaeology]

Hi 👋 it was very nice meeting you too new friend 🙂

[@artillerest43rdva7]

greetings Brandon: That little pouring pitcher with high likelihood is a creamer for coffee. about 4 oz in size, and made of red clay or stoneware. very heat resistant compared to glass. great video, love that marble with the portrait! very fine find! like I say you never know what piece of history you will find.

[@oldwoodentrunkadventures]

I think that’s 2 weeks in a row, digging a killer marble. I’ve never seen one of those. Awesome find gentlemen.

[@scampbell3363]

Hey from Memphis. Snakes and hard packed dirt were guarding some treasures. That marble is fascinating. I’m curious about it.

[@jerrydineen2827]

That was such a cool marble Brandon. I can see that you're just an old softie!!

[@janelchambers6791]

That marble is stunning, I bet it is from Germany. I agree you did the right thing by saving those two garter snakes. Keep digging you will find that Jack Daniels

[@kawismackie]

Those snakes look like they could be rough green snakes, very cool! They tend to hang on low hanging branches or in jaggers/ other shrubs. I bet they'd love some artificial or real foliage and whatnot to slither around on til its time for their "Free Willy" moment haha. Another great video, awesome marble, a hutch, and taking after the critters you may disturb. Keep up the great work sir!

[@sidneybazemorejr6601]

Like always cool video and some great rescues, thanks for sharing

[@cferguson3368]

I use a Stanley 55-116 pry bar quite often... its a very heavy duty 10 inch pry bar that will take on oversize nails in really old wood & a few other tasks the makers didn't likely invision. Wonder how it would do as a digging tool in that cement hard soil. It's weighty enough to withstand crazy pressure, but small enough to make it easy to manage. You guys definitely struggled!

[@marykaystreasures]

I love that marble I wonder if someone just hand painted it I hope you are able to find out more about it Thanks for sharing Merry Christmas ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️⚒️🇺🇸👍⛅🎅

[@katherinehoffman9865]

Your shop is looking great. The shovel has a soft spot in my heart. I have a shovel, my father gave me that was worn to a nice sharp edge when he gave it to me. I have been using it for 30 years. Hardly a week goes by that I'm not using it in the garden. I look forward to Friday.

[@mirkatu3249]

I like the warped bottles also, they're so blobby and whimsical. Your reviews don't bother me; specially if it helps your channel. 🙂

[@anitameza3960]

I dug a bottle in my yard that I have never seen before . I thought it was super fractured but it's actually a pattern . I wish I could send you a picture of it after I clean it.

I would contact an art museum. People collect marbles. That is rare. I'm almost 60 & never saw it. Wow! So intricate, too. If you want to, you could go back to exact place you found it and sift the dirt to see if there are more? I'm thinking it may have friends.

That marble with the pictorial on, it definitely looks like a bead to me. I don’t know if it was just a video, but it definitely looked like it had holes on both sides, and I have seen beads with pictorials on it.

[@Viscalis]

Hey Brandon! I have a question. Are the bottles at the top of the dumb very briddle? I found tons of Nehi’s at the top of the dump (1920s) and they would shatter anytime I touched them. 3 of them were whole and shattered. They were about 2 feet deep so that could be why?

[@adventurearchaeology]

A lot of time they were cheaper glass so they don’t survive.

[@Viscalis]

@@adventurearchaeology I figured as much. There were tons of tiny cracks in the ones that broke. Must have been root glass?

My ex’s name was Amber. It sets off my girlfriend to hear her name. When you dig an amber blob or medicine, I have to watch what you are digging when she is in hearing range! 😂 Yes She is nuts! I would have done the same thing for the snakes. Anything that is hibernating should stay that way. Maybe a cold garage? If they stay awake you’ll have to feed them. I guess one year awake all winter won’t kill them. 😊
