TURNING OVER 2,000 ANTIQUE BOTTLES PURPLE!! Thousands of Pre 1915 Manganese Glass Bottles! Crazy!

[@Adventurous4Life]

If this is your first Moldy Monday experience and you're wondering where most of these bottles came from, check out this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ6mq4igmNmhqdk It will answere quite a few questions!

[@Paulvbc]

So cool! I love digging in pre-1920 dumps, because almost all of the clear glass will turn purple. You can take a common, not so desirable bottle & make it shelf-worthy by turning it a beautiful shade of of amethyst/purple! Keep us updated on how they’re turning, good luck!! 👍

[@Adventurous4Life]

Yes indeed!! Bottles with little to no value are now desirable in the purple hue! We'll try our best to keep eberyone updated! Maybe do some community posts down the line!

[@apothiers]

love your getting them purple I use to have all my old pre-1915 common bottles most diggers broke or tossed away I'd turned Deep Purple by the thousands while all in boxes and on a skid in a week I sent them to get a processed they all look so awesome maxed purple thousands of people world wide got to enjoy the beauty of these common glass bottles so keep up your great hobby of digging I love digging got lucky found skull head poison and tons of other great bottles etc.

[@Adventurous4Life]

Lots of people do enjoy the purple hued bottles!! Jay enjoys them a little to much though 😄😄 we'll always save them from the dirt! Lots of other diggers left lots behind that we have found!

[@CoinandRelicOntario]

HOLY MOLY!! That is just crazy guys!! I wouldn't be surprised if ISS can see that from space! LOL!!

[@Adventurous4Life]

LOL!! Jay and I where saying the same thing! If they update any satellite imagery of the area theres gonna be one spot with a funny glare, lol!!!

Oh dear, Jay has lost it. The boy's gone nuts!!!😄 So many bottles, that is insane! But those will be gorgeous after being purpled by the sun!😄💖

[@Adventurous4Life]

Jay lost it when he first meet me, lol!!! 😄😄 It's been down hill since then LOL! Give it about 2 years outside and they will be super nice! Well be packimg them all up and doing it again next year! Never a dull moment around here 😄😄

Lol 😄😄 And so far so good! They are turning super fast this year as well! We'll most likely be filming an update video soon!!

[@canadianfloormasters]

[@Adventurous4Life]

Lol, this is the 3rd year he's had these bottles out in the sun! If that was the case lots of old bottle dumps would be catching fire everywhere because of all the glass! 😄😄

[@rockkhound943]

Your bi-color ones are extra valuable... Very cool bottle mountain of bottles and thanks for sharing guys ✌

[@Adventurous4Life]

They are definitely unique and for sure one of a kind! Glad you enjoyed watching! Thought I'd share the experience with everyone! Was interesting to film that's for sure!

[@tattoostevesmith3935]

Awesome video! I used to keep the roof of my bottle shed covered with bottles to turn purple. Maybe a progress shot once a month as an addition to your digging videos?

[@Adventurous4Life]

The roof is definitely a good idea for putting your surface glass! Just cant really do that on our roofs 😄😄 we'll try to post some progress pictures throught the year if we get out that way!!

[@tattoostevesmith3935]

@@Adventurous4Life Even a few are great. 😊👍

[@kepvalley]

That is so awesome! That was a lot of work! Would love to see what that looks like from the air! Nevermind, just saw at the end! Oops on the landing! Some of the partial purples would be from being half buried when found. Full purpled would have been on the surface The only weather you would have to worry about there is very large hail which is not very likely up there. Torrential downpour would just easily run off of all that. Unlikely a deer would walk through that. Wouldn’t feel right for footing so they skirt around hopefully. I’d be more worried being seen from the highway. Going to look awesome when they’re done in a few years! ATB and happy hunting!

[@Adventurous4Life]

Thanks 😄😄 and ya Jay brought his old drone, he hasn't flown it in like 2 years soooo, oops lol!!! And ya laege hail isnt very common at all. Never seen anything large living up here! Heres hopping nothing bad happens to them 😄😄 although Jay has had other purples out on this rock 2 different years now. Not this many but enough lol! Once the leaves get on the trees you cant see anything, and the house is right next to it with cameras. I'd hope no one would try taking them. But hey some not so reputable characters around soooo... Least it's in an outskirts town!

[@kepvalley]

Good to know that they will be safe! Will be very neat to see the finished product!

[@bonniegiebfried278]

Love it. You might want to put clear plastic over bottles, will keep them clean and give bit of protection. Beautiful collection of bottles

[@barrywainwright3391]

FYI, it's takes many years for glass to turn purple naturally. Plus you live in Canada where the sunrays are not that strong and the winters are harsh and severe and those bottles will get damaged from the ice, snow and cold. But if you lived in Florida it would be a different story. Good luck.

[@Adventurous4Life]

Lol you're 100% right. We can only leave them out till around October. This is the 3rd year Jays put out his purples. It's actually surprising how fast they turn on the rocks! Last year the ones he left out turned a nice purple in just 1 year! Just thought I'd film them this year for a fun video for everyone 😄

[@Adventurous4Life]

Glad you enjoyed watching 😄 half these bottles are still dirty anyways so trying to keep them clean isn't a high priority!

[@bruceritchie4382]

There was one over there I was hoping to buy.

[@Adventurous4Life]

Lol! Might be a bit hard to spot in the sea of glass now!

[@depthspader8820]

Once all the bottles turn purple, Jay can put them On display and blast Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix!!! :)

[@Adventurous4Life]

LOL 😄😄😄 Or have his walls collapse on him from the shear weight of them 😄😄😄

[@arthurtamayo6522]

You can get fence panels used for dog kennels and old scrap gates or temp fencing for construction, etc.

Always enjoy ya's videos. If they have anything to do bottles. I'm down for it.

[@Adventurous4Life]

Heck ya 😄😄 Lots of bottles to come so I think you'll continue to enjoy the videos!! As always thanks for watching!!

[@SaltwaterSean]

I'm in bottle heaven

[@claudebernardin1096]

This process will take you years!

[@Adventurous4Life]

Takes about 2 years to get them to a nice hue of amethyst purple!

[@ScientificSolutions]

@@Adventurous4Life Once upon a time, I dug a clear insulator that was only known in deep purple and aqua. Thought I had found a rare variety ( CD 102 BTC MONTREAL for any insulator collectors out there). About 5 years later it was dark SCA, and now, almost 40 years later it is almost deep purple. I guess I should have kept it in a box!

[@Adventurous4Life]

Lol 😄 ya, rare bottles or insulators have more value if they are original (somtimes) But in your case Im not to sure! Somtimes the colour gives it more value depending on the bottle!

[@SaltwaterSean]

Oh my goodness!

[@Adventurous4Life]

Lol 😄😄 you could say that again! You've been on the land hunt recently so I hope you come across some manganese glass soon!!!

[@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat]

OMG boys....pray you don’t have a hail storm 🥺🥺😎😎

[@Adventurous4Life]

Lol 😄😄 hope not! But I can't even remember the last time we even had hail here (big hail). Should be good, i hope 😄😄😄

[@alexnye7137]

Well, WOW.. So am I correct by saying you will be packing them up for the winter? And omg this is going to be on the channel that shows things from outer space lol. Satellites are going to pick this up for sure lol. Well now people know how to get bottles purple, high production, but still thats the way. Great video.

[@Adventurous4Life]

Yes indeed, he doesn't leave them out in the winter, that's askin for trouble 😄 Be funny if the satellite imagery updates this year and shows these on it 😄😄 I'll laugh see that!! Glad you enjoyed the video, was a fun/interesting one to film!

[@lizmbrad]

Good gobs of purple bottles Jay!!! Adam you are a good friend helping get them to the hill. So come fall/winter y'all have to collect them so they don't end up under a ton of snow? WOW... Just WOW.... I'd say its abt time to cut him off of the purple bottles. Jay I believe this has become an obsession...lol Just bonkers.😂😂😂

[@Adventurous4Life]

Yep, come winter we pack them all back up! The colour change from just 1 year is very noticeable too! Jays been doing this with his purple bottles for the last 2 years. Yes I do think he needs to be cut off from purple bottles, lol!!!! 😄 He still takes all he can find though... Hes insaine! He assures me one day he will display all of them... I eagerly await when that happens 😄😄😄 not 😄😄

[@lizmbrad]

@@Adventurous4Life i bet you eagerly await when that time comes...NOT!!!😂😂😂 As much as I hate to admit this, for your sake I think he's right. When he retires, he will be able to sell everyone of those bottles. People have always loved purple glass. Hell he will live quite comfy just off the sales of those bottles alone. I say take every single one bc they are FREE. It will be 100% pure profit. I say good luck finding a place to store them all till then though.😂😂😂

[@Adventurous4Life]

[@buckeyeusafveteran4706]

Neat video man, i just keep mine on the window sill, think theres only about 10 or 15 in my collection so far that will turn purple though. Looks like you guys have a slighty more than me. Nice to have an idea how long it will take for them to turn purple, you said this is the third year doing this. Do you lose many bottles each year due to animals or storms?

[@Adventurous4Life]

Just slightly a few more 😄 And it normally takes about 2 years having them out in the summer months to tirn a nice purple hue! In the past 2 years Jay has done it for non have broke ouside on him!

the guy that lives in the dump is The BMW Club yt channel . blue monkey wrench is the icon moderators get . but the guy is a tyrant and will have his mods ban you if you say one wrong thing . he lived there 6 years now , its covered in 6'' thick concrete roadway chunks the other side is same he showed gases coming out and is why he doesn't live on that side

[@marciegutgsell5124]

Wow did u guys find/dig all of those bottles?

[@richarddixon3354]

Are purple bottles worth more?

[@Adventurous4Life]

A clear bottle is either 25 cents to 1$, turn it purple its now worth 3-5$ depending on the bottle! Thats just from personal experience. Purple glass is attractive to many different people where a plain bottle will be past up by almost everyone!
