Digging Antique Bottles in a Civil War Pontil Era Outhouse Privy Full of Buried Treasure + GIVEAWAY!
Published 2022-11-22
The house turned out to be much older than we thought (1840-60's era) but unfortunately, like many, the privy showed evidence of being "dipped". This is when they would clean out/empty the contents of the pit, discarding them elsewhere and prolonging the time they could keep using this hole to avoid having to dig another pit and move the outhouse over. Despite it being dipped, and a fairly small wood-lined pit, we were still able to pull some pretty sweet finds! Mike pulled his first pontil bottle and we got into some nice local druggists, sodas, and a rare embossed cure!

I was born in 77 and growing up in the 80's I remember rummaging through my mom and dad's bottle collection from when they use to go bottle digging back in the early 60's in Northern Ohio.

You have made me a bottle fan! Enjoy your hard work and the connection a bottle has to life in the past. It is like shaking a hand of the person who used it!

It’s good to see younger people still digging. I started in the 1960’s and had to give up the digging in the late 1990’s due to a very bad back. I’m in my mid 70’s now and still buy bottles from time to time.😀 Congrats on 1000 subs. Keep on digging and good luck.

Milk bottles had different necks so the delivery person grabbed the right product for order....Milk was generally delivered in the dark so feeling the different necks ensured proper delivery.

What a sweet opening to your video. There's nothing better than looking at a pontiled bottle ready to be pulled out. Y'all dug up some sweet bottles. Too bad the stoneware wasn't whole. Enjoyed your video guys. ✌
