Hello from Knoxville Tennessee. It looked like a fun day with some good finds. I also need to get a pair of those waders like your wife’s. Have a great week and find a lot of bottles.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Waders are so handy!

Enjoyed watching. That marble was very cool. Thanks for sharing the hunt and finds. Good luck, happy hunting and take care.

Hi Brandon. Thank you for doing these videos.

Thank you for sharing another great video 👍

[@buttons3232]

Love those mini flasks. 😜

[@sls1776]

You guys have the clearest water! I live in Massachusetts and the rivers and creeks around here are all brown or rust colored. Years of paper mills dumping chemicals in them and the high iron content. If I had the clear creeks like you guys I'd never leave, and my girls would likely live in it. We have lots of treasures in our rivers but when you can't even see the bottom, or your hand in 6 inches of water, then it isn't worth the dangers of large chunks of iron or metal or getting caught up in something.

[@nighteagle317]

Thanks for taking us along with you! I wish more of the bottles you found could have been whole for you. I enjoy the creek walking very much but I do kind of miss the 900" deep holes you used to dig with Clayton too. You guys be safe, where ever the hunt for historic bottles takes you. Cheers, Paige

[@adventurearchaeology]

We may dig some this fall. A lot of it has to do with running out of ground to dig.

[@marysmith7845]

This was such a fun video to watch and it’s great to see your wife bottle hunting with you! Thank you Brandon for sharing this video bringing us along! 😃

[@westcountrymudlarks]

Great video always heartbreakers broken bottles but still great finds. 👍 my partner digs with me so I know how great it is to have the same hobbie glad I found your channel.

[@vandalligraphy1300]

That a sulphide marble?! IThat’s a great find. That’s money right there man! Another good video

[@richardperkins6132]

Great video brandon. An congrats on all your finds this time out. Hay,maybe sometime soon if you haven't already, take a road trip down to Nick's. An do a video on him showing how he cuts down the bottles an makes them into the drinking glasses an shot glasses. I'm sure that would be awesome video for everyone to see just how does it. Just a thought. Have a great weekend an we shall catch you on your next adventure. As always safe and happy hunting/digging.😁👍👍

[@debraporch7888]

Brandon, it's very cool that your wife enjoys your hobby in which it created her hobby. How do you determine what creeks to walk in order to find bottles? Do you have to find out the age of the rivers/ creeks? I love it when you give us stories or give us information about the bottles, or a history lesson. Thanks

[@adventurearchaeology]

I just look for the old towns and get in the water closest to them haha

[@stricnine69]

Im from ringgold ga. We have a creek running right through town. Ive never seen anyone walking in it before. I might go try my luck 1 day

[@BigC37]

Hey no fret on finding a glass insulators now a day broken or whole still a good find 👍 😉

[@barbarafritchie2000]

Thanks Luke we need to dig now that it’s cooler!

Those potato forks work great for bottle digging. I bought one recently and use it all the time.

Thank you for explaining what a Circle Slug was, been watching a few months now, finally I get the answer I've been waiting for. I'll go back through some vids to find out about Chericola. I know you explained once. They're the ones out Columbus Georgia, I think. Glad you found at least a few you can use.

[@judieb4165]

Saw a site that talked about taking the bottoms (showing location names) of otherwise destroyed bottles and making them into ornaments. Another use of broken glass?

[@marielg9143]

our rivers up here are like muddy coffee

[@chriscourson2824]

You should go down to Coffee and Covington Counties!

[@jenniferharvey5340]

Going back and catching up on videos I missed. Yes-cleaning bottles is risky-especially if they’re super dirty and you’re scrubbing/using warm water. I broke 2 mason jars and a flask last week cleaning up bottles-soap on a jar got too slippery and I dropped the jar on the flask and broke both. 🤦🏻‍♀️The other jar I broke accidentally scrubbing too hard to get some creek sick off the inside and popped the side out. Luckily they weren’t super old or rare items-30s-60s stuff we found at a new creek walking spot. But that black/brown creek sick/algae stuff is murder to get off!

[@rock13fish]

Your focus issue is probably the lighting is making the bottle too close in shade/color to the gravel bar. You need a contrasting color in the background. Hold it up so green leaves or a dark bank or something is in the background. Or if you sprout a third hand, do like your wife did, and hold your hand behind it. Also, have you thought if it's possible to cut out the embossing of broken bottles and leading around it, similar to stain glass, and making an x-mas ornament or something? Would that be too heavy? Or a big conglomeration of them and make a stained glessesque framed doo-dad?

[@adventurearchaeology]

Would love to cut the embossing out however it is very time consuming. One day if this ever becomes a full time gig I’ll try to figure out more ways to use all of the pieces that I have accumulated haha

[@denisew3917]

Nice treasures. Your wife found a whopper of a blue marble. : )

[@tinabenavidez1903]

You need a big back pack, like they use on Mudpies, in england. By the way, Mudpies is what the videos are called on KZbin.

[@clockworkgnome4049]

Some cool finds. Looked and cant find info what is the ratio cutting/polishing agent to water do you use? Thanks for sharing.

[@adventurearchaeology]

1 tablespoon for the exterior and a 1/4 for the interior with water 1/4” above the copper line.

[@clockworkgnome4049]

@@adventurearchaeology Thanks. Found another old soda pre 1914 from my town and it is a lightly rashed but embossing is strong. It is like the amber ss coke i showed you last year but a clear one with no coke embossing.

@11:50 that straight side coke you can cut and turn into a funnel or what do you do with them broken like that

Honestly I haven’t done anything yet with the broken bottom bottles.

Can’t go wrong with a marble! But you did find some nice bottles. I know you’ve mentioned it before in some of your other videos. But what kind of Tumbler do you have? I would like to look into getting one.

It is from Jar Doctor. Give it a quick google. It’s not cheap but it’s something that will last a lifetime.

[@adventurearchaeology]

She will turn one up hahaha meanwhile it’ll take me another decade hahaha

[@williamslaughter7750]

It’s a long shot but that Dresden piece might be from Dresden Ohio. It was once known as the porcelain capital of the world. About 15 minutes down the road in the town of Coshocton a business man from Jasper Alabama built a big apartment building in the 1890’s early 1900’s. Maybe they could be related

[@jakob5873]

Huches have metal in the caps so if the cap is still in it you could just go metal detecting you could find huches

Already got videos on that.

I e noticed you found a nice square shaped bottle. Cracked or broke at the top. Could you make a small vase out of them. I was thinking that it would look cool if you could and maybe your wife could sell that next to her jewelry….. Something different..

[@randyblackburn9765]

Years ago a buddy of mine pulled some time in a County jail and they would make glasses from coke bottles, they took a length of nylon trot line string 3 feet long and tied a pull stick to each end ( like a chain saw starter rope ) . One guy would hold the bottle tightly between his knees , the other guy would wrap a full turn around the bottle and start (sawing ) back and forth with the string ,when the the string got hot it would begin to stick to the glass and quickly the bottle was tossed into cold water . The bottle would go ‘tink ‘ and would be cut cleanly in half . The new glass would be ground smooth on the concrete cell floor .
