These Creek Banks Were Hiding Our RAREST DISCOVERY Yet - An Unforgettable Find Shrouded in Mystery!

That jug is out of this world. The smaller ceramic jar might have had marmalade in it. I laughed so hard at Natalie and your conversation when you were trying to get that bottle out of the mud. Isn't going down rabbit holes fun? I watch a metal detectorist in Scotland, and he often finds lead bale seals from the 1800s for flax and talks about the flax mills that were there. I looked into what flax was used for and it took me down a rabbit hole about learning how to make linen by spinning the flax into yarn, then weaving the yarn into linen. A while back, you and Cris talked about making more videos about just sitting and discussing things. I'm glad you made one. Talking about sharing your passions and knowledge is important. That video just flew by.

I love the extra touch of showing it cleaned up right after the find. Thanks for these videos. I really enjoy them.

If the Antiques Roadshow comes near you, I hope you take this incredible jug. Fantastic!

I’m 42 This year and have followed you both for a while now, to put perspective on this comment… 😅 But,you two are really growing into fine men with the most focus and passion! I will be guiding my youngest boy towards your channels now he’s getting old enough to enjoy the benefits of YouTube. You give ancient vibes of a certain human teacher I most definitely want him to be aware of and follow. Thank you from an old rock hounder ❤

Kyle, you and Natalie found some wonderful broke’s today ( in color ). May I suggest that you take those home and wrap them in a thick material and break them up a little more, and then tumble the pieces. You’d have the color, in rounded pieces for a beautiful display, maybe in an old crystal bowl, on a table in front of a sunny window. Jealous of the jug!!!! Hard work surely pays off! A Georgia fan. 😊 What’s old is always new again to the one who finds its beauty.

This is such a beautiful find. These Jugs would definitely be turned on a wheel, and glazes would be made from a mixture of dry minerals that would be ground up into a very fine powder, and then once all of the minerals were mixed to the desired consistency; and be aware that each pottery establishment has secret recipes for their glazes, as a unique part of their business, and they would guard their glaze recipes with their lives because if they managed to become a well established company with custom glazes the glazes would give pottery a great deal more value if it was popular, and also remember that people used almost everything in the pottery, plates, bowls, cups jugs even bakeware like pie plates and Dutch ovens and the like, so the real secret to the glaze on this jug will likely never be known since the company no longer exists and likely never passed on the recipe. So the minerals would then be put into a certain amount of water and turned into a thick mud consistency and the jug or whatever the item would be, was dipped in it or it would have been drizzled over it, like in this jugs case, and the glaze made the porous pottery water tight, and during the firing process, the glaze would melt and turn into a type of glass that we call glaze but really it is no different that the slag which is a by-product from smelting metal from miners as well, only in pottery that glass-like material change was used to seal the pottery and protect it and give it an appealing color and decoration. but to hear that they used river sands and pulverized minerals from his own property, this guy was seriously old school. I have taken a great deal of pottery classes and it is a total blast, and if you have property where you can have a small studio anf make pottery as a side hustle, I would encourage you to do it, because it has always been a dream of mine to be able to own a bunch of land and not only make a studio for pottery , but also build myself a walk-in Kiln that I can fire all of my pottery on my land and be able to develop my own glazes with powdered mineral recipes and be able to supply local families with proper dinner ware for their homes, but be fore warned, that turning pottery on a wheel take a great deal of practice and effort, and only time can allow for a person to become a decent potter where People will want to buy your work for every day use. I urge you to give it a try, but I am warning you now, that once you get into it, you're gonna be hooked, and soon you'll be looking to buy a pottery wheel, I can afford a pottery wheel but I do have a nice electric motor I managed to get ahold of to build my own pottery wheel. but once bitten, you be forever a pottery nerd!

Nice to see you and Paleo Chris together again. What an awesome find. Congratulations Kyle. You deserve it and we love Natalie. You two are so perfect for each other. Donna northern Michigan/Traverse City

The lavender glass chunk is cool. Putting pieces like that into a Mason jar with some LED lights in it would be so cool.

Love all the adventures you welcome us viewers along to see. Sone would say your lucky. I think the love and respect you both have for nature puts you as one with the environment. It is this serenity that gives you that extra sense and patience of knowing where and how to find Treasures. Love watching You and Natalie there is such a kind peaceful joyfull spirit you both have. No matter where you go or what you seek please keep sharing.

I literally busted out laughing when you said “ you launched the mud in my open mouth” it literally took me forever to type this because I can’t stop laughing 🤣

I needed me a good ol Wild Kyle creek video today!! Yall make me forget about my troubles for the length of the video and i appreciate every one of your cool uploads man!! God bless and take care my friend!!!❤

Loved the conversation between you and Chris, along with all the research you did. I agree you and Chris need to make some jugs!

The weird thing about handmade pottery is that it literally has not changed in thousands of years. People still use kickwheels (foot operated) today, though most are electrical. Otherwise the process is the same. You wedge/knead the clay by hand, plop it down in the center of the wheel and start shaping your vessel. Firing, glazing, etc, are all the same - other than saving a bit of muscle power, nothing has changed.

So cool you all take such an interest in the history of what you find. We dug many many dumps out here in and around Buckeye Az. My sons would find the best stuff. I guessed cuz they were closer to the ground.lol. But they would find an entire statue of an oriental woman but no head. And 2 months later we would find the head. The marbles were so beautiful. We found so much really good stuff. Beads rings broochs and belt buckles and fantastic bottles. Thanks and keep finding .

All the information about the jug was very interesting. It is amazing how the earth can provide materials we need if we only take the time to discover them. When I was in college, our ceramics professor had brought back some ashes from the Mt. Saint Helens volcano eruption. We added some of it to our glazes before firing, and the colors which emerged during firing were awesome.

I want to make a comment,, but can't seem to find the words that tell you how excited I am for you to have found that jug! Amazing!

Wooooooooooowwweeeee- THAT JUG!!!!!!!! Ive dug a couple but hot damn that glaze is incredible!!

So my line of work is as an antique and oddity seller, and I also sell things for other people for a percentage. I was able to quit my 9-5 grind, and now I travel around every week looking in thrift and antique shops and yard sales and flea markets for valuable objects, mostly antiques and glassware. You would not believe some of the things I have found doing this. I learn something new every week, and get to work with and sometimes even keep some incredible objects. I definitely know the feeling you got finding and identifying that jug.

You two young men are so awesome. Thank you for sharing your passion.

I love your videos and your music I am from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 I have been a fan for many years. I am a rock hound but have to purchase at 70 Please keep up all that you do Katie😊
