Where did you learn so much about bottles and history of stuff, and how did you get started in digging for bottles and artifacts? Your channel is very interesting. Thanks for posting. 😊
Google the channel or his name and there's a few news articles about him.

I love old bottles!!!
Hi 👋 Tom and hi 👋 jake 😊another good bottle hunt 😊I always amazed that people lived hear and the bottles are the only evidence of their existence 😊have a good weekend 😀 Andrew south wales uk 👌 👍 👏 😀 🇬🇧
So happy to see a new video this week! 🎉 thank you!
Great video! You have the BEST ones when it comes to bottle digging 😁
wow thanks
I always love hearing: “Look at all this stuff”. You know it’s going to be good 😊
Another great dig! 😎💕
Good morning, spring is really here, it's beautiful, coffee and watching old pieces get new life too, love it. Thank you
Glad to see a new video! Thanks!
Always look forward to new digs. Thanks
Yay I have been waiting impatiently for tour newest venture as I love watching
You get a tremendous variety in bottles Tom. The styles and years are wild.
thanks for sharing
All those crown ovals, near a saloon, makes me think it had an opioid derivative in it, Of which was popular with local stoners of that period. Ty for taking us along
Always look for your digs, thanks 😊
They always look for their digs. Otherwise, how would they be able to find them?
Crazy number of prescription bottles!
Great to see you again. Always enjoy your program, look forward to seeing the next one. Stay safe and take care. 👍👍👍
One of the few times I've seen you in more than a tank top. It does get cold there after all. 😂❤
Great and fun dig Tom ! You even found an old crown top Canadian beer also. A Loonie,Toonie crazy find eh. LOL 😂😅 Take care and best regards Tom !
First Pit was loaded. 👍 I recently dug a Detroit Michigan Medicine Bottle tooled top same age as yours. Cool finds Tom.
Nice dig. I think you were quite correct in thinking people were drinking the extracts as a alternate alcoholic beverage. I know in Canada sometime in the mid 1900's that extracts (vanilla in particular) were no longer allowed to use alcohol as a base product. Nice to see that Bradon Empire beer bottle. As beer bottles were reused it is possible it made its way south of the border around prohibition time. I've no doubt that if you continue digging in northern North Dakota you'll come across more.
Well that was fun!! Can't wait to do it again!! Too bad so many prescription bottles. Great job Tom and Jake!!
Well. It was worth waiting for. Those green liquor type bottles. Those are a beautiful color. Another great day. Hope you guys are doing well. Take care. Can't wait for the next one.😊
Love seeing you hop down into these time capsules dude. Keep up the amazing work.
"dude" Ha!
Great stuff! Thank you 🙏
Boy that hard packed soil is rough on the bottles & on your hands,you may have to give those hands a few days ready!Great work guys!
HaHa! Seriously? Not all of us men are wimps.
My favorite pass time is watching men work!
Wow, another amazing dig. Non stop awesome finds as usual! Have a great weekend.
Hi there! I love watching you dig through the dirt, uncovering one thing after another. I wonder, though, what do you do with all of it? Thanks!
Awesome bottles Tom. Pretty good haul out of to pits. Looks cold up there. Thank you for the awesome videos. Always looking forward to your video. Never know what you will find. Stay warm. ❤❤
What do you do with all the bottles and stuff you find?
You are correct about the extract. Vanilla extract and Jamaica Ginger was often drank as an alcoholic beverage. I've seen many pumpkin seed and coffin flasks with Jamaica Ginger labels.
It's always a pleasure to find a new video, thanks.
Great finds in a great video...keep on digging...🥰🥰
Good morning from UK (21st) Looking forward to new video. It's sure to be your usual super dig! 😊
Those English machines got real nice color. I recently was given a similar bottle but in turquoise and more shaped like a square sauce. Likewise machine made but the whittle on it is so crazy that you can only see the seams at the top.
The research is awesome. I really loved the story about the drunk chickens !
Love your channel! Thanks for sharing. ❤
Love this channel! So well done & interesting!!!
Killer history there , awesome saves !!
Enjoying your videos. Noticed the plate from Trenton, NJ. My grandfather used to have a bar in Trenton. “Stouty’s” Thirties, I think.
Tom, it looked like a cold weather dig. Great finds. Always nice to see you out having fun. Loved the name of the town.👍👏😀
Funniest thing. I was watching a cop show the other night. The chic was pulled over for being all over the road..she was trashed. Her drink of choice was vanilla extract..the car was loaded with empty bottles, every kind, every size..some still unopened..I was shocked and had to laugh. I had just watched your episode of all the extract bottles..they weren't baking..lol
Well Tom, there were a lot of sick people or hypochondriacs living in that area, cheers!!🥰👍👍
Very cool dogs! Love the sea green beers!
Hi Tom👋 Great video.
Great video folks!
Interesting digs!
they seemed to be well medicated down at the pool hall 😜
"I see three of everything." "Shoot at the one in the middle."
Hey love your videos I can call it before you say what it is, like when you find lamps, stay safe out there your cool thanks for the dig.
Replie,looking forward to your dig videos, live in south Florida only things I'd find is shell's and water.
Thanks for policing your page also. These damn instagram scammers.
Just found your site. Very interesting. Looks like you dug up a dump from the old days.😊
I can now identify a crown oval …….great video …thank you
Tom, when you have chance, you should tell people about the books you have written.
Somebody realllllly liked Extract and Beer 😮
How many pairs of gloves would you estimate you go through in a year? Love your vids. They remind me of my childhood. Love and hugs from me in New Mexico USA.
❤️ the channel! Wondering if you have any beginner how to videos or advice? Just got probing rod and have a farm that I want to scope out. Thank you in advance
Hello Sir Digsalot..excellent vids... God Bless...Can I ask you a question? Can you make money digging and selling old bottles?
Love your videos❤ I am having trouble getting ahold of old maps. Any suggestions?
My husband use to mark property lines for a private logging company & he said he got the maps at the county accessors office!Good luck!
@@deloradeabel8487 thank you🙂
So what do you do with all these? Do you have a shop or a booth at an antiques mall, or sell them online? Are you also a collector searching for your own rare pieces?
What kind of rod you push down in the ground to see if anything is their
I'm having a little difficulty with the Sanborn maps... Some clearly show outbuildings labeled 'privy' or other names.. but most do not. Should i just assume Any smaller structure in the 'back' area of a property is a privy? Also, i have seen the circles that indicate 'air shafts', either wooden or brick framed. Are these some kind of indoor privy, or something else? Thanks in advance, whoever is reading this.
☺️♥️
Do you use a T bar?
WHEN DID THEY START MAKING GLASS BOTTLES
What do you do with all those bottles you dig ?
That would of been a site a brood of inebriated chickens along the river bank 😂

Ha!! my homemade vanilla is pure alcohol, made from vodka. Lol
I do believe the 2nd pit was connected to a drug store or a doctors office.
Hmmm.... that's what he said.
What do you do with all this history?? Musuems??:)
Or do you do it for the thrill of the finds?
I why was that ground so hard
Because it's not soft.

@@ritahall8653. Seriously, I'm a retired heavy equipment operator. Digging in many areas across the U.S. The ground varies from hard, soft, wet, dry, sticky, sandy, etc, etc... The prettiest ground that I ever dug was about 20 feet deep in central Florida. It was a sticky, gummy clay that was a beautiful turquoise color. In north central Indiana, I dug pure sand.

You need wrist supports!!!!
HaHa! Say there. Evidently you have a limp wrist. The majority of real men don't need wrist support.
I do believe that you two need some warmer weather
A little cool weather doesn't bother us men.
It seems like alot of drug and alcohol abuse from privy to privy from site to site and every state you go to. How did people function back then hopped up on opium and coke and alcohol. What book or books have you published? I would love to know way more on this hobby.
You're overwhelming excitement at the beginning was incredible. Maybe tone it done a bit. It's over the top.
