I was rooting for you guys! Very educational and thank you for sharing your finds with me! Until the next video, happy summer❤❤❤

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Thanks for watching!! Glad you enjoyed

[@phrotojoe]

I found many open pontil bottles under my old house,3 broken historical flask,bummer.great video.

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Awesome!! What were the intact ones? Thanks! Glad you enjoyed

[@ryan-lc8cj]

This was a tough pit to dig. Cant wait to get back out there digging

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Same dude! Haha yeah, did it bring back memories?? We have dug some tough ones

[@davestelling]

​@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers This pit was like it was cursed, old those broken good ones! I enjoyed seeing the ink bottles and the red transferware top. Bet you guys slept good after digging all day and part of the evening?!?

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

@@davestelling Haha that's digging for ya!

[@jardigsvermont]

WoooHooo!! Happy to see a new upload from you guys!🎉🍿🍿

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Thanks Julia! Been working hard to keep the videos flowing. Hope you enjoyed it and appreciate the comment 🤙

[@jardigsvermont]

@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers I already love it! I know you prob were super annoyed to get all those flower pots, but it was really neat to see and imagine an old nursery with no plastic!!

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

@juliaravlin723 Glad you enjoyed that little bit! I almost left it out because it was pretty uneventful, but figured it would be cool and somewhat informative to show it anyhow!

[@jardigsvermont]

@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers 💯‼️

[@swbottles]

That happened to me a few times. I get permission and find the hole then they say they changed their mind. I wonder if they are just using us to show them where the privy is and they end up digging it them self.

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Man it sucks, doesn't it?! in this case I can confidently say the guy didn't or wouldn't dig it. But who knows? We plan to go back in the future and talk to him again. 1840s mansion.. a Dr. lived in it at the time who frequently traveled to the west coast 😑😑

[@craigfinegan6375]

just dig it at night

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

@@craigfinegan6375 In someone's back yard? 🤣 Sounds like a great idea

[@shysonofficial]

Glass blowing was a home hobby in the 1800s,that small crooked pill bottle could have been a diy container made from some glass tubing.. it looks small enough to be blown at home with the equipment they would have had I would guess.. That would explain the imperfection 11:30

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Very interesting theory, but likely not the case here. Though possible, I suppose!

[@jonamici437]

Great dig fellas. Never found a Mrs. Winslow's. Did find an amber piso's today with lip damage. Still a great find. Wait for your videos with great anticipation. Keep up the great work.

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Thanks!! Means a lot! Don't think I've dug an amber Piso before.. But definitely some aqua and multiple shades of green

[@JNeilWalker-mn7jk]

Nice , love these digs , mow panneled baddles , 😂, all other shows dug late pits , u drop in early every now and then… we’ll worth the wait . PURE QUALITY NOT QUANTITY , keep em coming boys , Neil uk

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

We try our best to dig the early stuff!! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching and commenting!

[@SaltwaterSean]

Loved all these bottles!

[@mattmcbottles]

I couldnt imagine stuff that old

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Tough to find it in the dumps! That's why we love our privies. Love dumps too, but don't really have any great ones around us at the moment

[@anniemunn9737]

Great video I always love the melted stuff. I have several!

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Thanks Annie! ❤️

[@jameshaselmayer8492]

Damn it.. Cant get Ryan out of the hole... Damn it, another broken one. 75% of privies were dipped, theres always going to be broken or few bottles. Need the house with lots of property with room to move the out house over and over. I have some 10 or 12 sided saphire blue, iron pontiled lemon beers from lockport NY, 1850s.. JGB embossed, deep green too. Very lil info out there on them.. Not many exist...

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Nice! Not sure what you mean about Ryan though?

[@davestelling]

Morning, Guys - I'm happy I've found your channel. I grew up in coastal Maine and my late brother & I were into digging old bottles and collecting the old glass insulators. We also enjoyed combing our area antique shops. This was in the late 1960s while we were just kids. I sure have some great memories of those days, we had such a blast doing it. The only real information we could find then with regard to digging/collecting antique bottles was our little local library and a few of the town's old timers. I still have just a couple of the bottles we dug back then, a "Dr. True's Pinworm Elixir," and a "Duffy's Malt Whiskey." I think a nice aqua colored insulator, too. Yeah, those were some good days - and I could actually feel the excitement of the dig watching you. I like that you've tried conserving your broken finds, ("Heart-Breakers.") as you too will have a bunch of great memories. Looking forward to checking out your other adventures here, and I wish you much luck with your future explorations! Take care...

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

@davestelling Dave, thanks so much for the comment and kind words! Sorry about your brother. I'm glad you made some good memories and happy to hear you enjoy our videos! We have a new video currently in the works and we are planning to hopefully dig another pit tomorrow! ⚒️

[@davestelling]

​@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers Thanks... Good luck on your next digging adventure! Eager to see what you guys can find next, and will be enjoying your other episodes here. Appreciate your taking the time and efforts to put them together for the rest of us to watch. Take care...

That D. bachelors is very rare from Utica, I just dug one in an 1820s stone liner today

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

@@Relicdigger Yep! We show it at the end of the video. Our friend Fred DeCarlo was familiar with it

[@OutlawRelics1800s]

I bought some of those 3 pronged rakes a while back. For some reason they leave metallic marks on everything that just don't come off. I switched to a different metal and it never happened again.

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

not sure what type of metal it is

[@clintyoung8073]

Did America produce any soda bottles with the marble in the neck?

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

@@clintyoung8073 Yes there are American codds but they are pretty rare

[@evelyncole9948]

Stop letting the bottles and other glass fall and break. Hurts my heart.

[@RobertAllen-b2t]

Trying to find a home for my Baltimore memorial flask corn for the world crude lip mint early mold honey amber. It's worth 2000 so I want a thousand , let me know if you want it. I'm getting old and sold everything else I had a long time ago. Living here in ga I found a mint hutch in a ditch across the street when I was 5 worth 3000 and held on to it forever.I got the flask at a yard sale in Florida 35 years ago and paid a lot for it . I think should have it since you guys live in that area.

@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers I will try to get it done tomorrow.

[@hellomcflyy]

with a pit this old - I'd be sifting everything...

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

I hear ya, but we hardly ever have time for something like that. On some of the really early pits, including this one, we probably should start

[@RonaldWood-ep7vg]

It's so hard to watch you guys use that big shovel digging the old thin bottles . Please get and use the proper tools .

[@RonaldWood-ep7vg]

Now I'm seeing some better tools , sorry for the earlier comment .

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

@RonaldWood-ep7vg Yeah, we just use the shovels to get down to the actual use layer. Once we are in the use/trash layer, we switch to smaller tools. If you watch one of our previous videos, we get into an 1820s-1850s era privy and practically dig with sticks or just our hands most of the time because the bottles are so thin and fragile from that era.

[@jimmylarge1148]

U probed, found a pit them couldn’t dig all the sudden? Guaranteed bro dug that shiz up after u told him where to dig. 😂😂

[@dianesinnett4391]

Why are you guys working in a tiny hole when you could just widen it out and have a better chance of finding items that are still whole. Amateurs.

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Well, are you familiar with digging privies? They typically have walls. This one being stacked stone. No way to widen the hole unless you dismantle the stacked stone wall, which is dangerous and completely unnecessary

[@plowkingwilly74]

Nice broken bottles should of shown nothing and the guy talking his voice is so annoying to him a slick is like gold

[@ParlorCityPickersDiggers]

Checked your page but couldn't find any videos of you digging pontil era privies. Bummer
