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 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!!!❤

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

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 ❤

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.

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 .

My dad’s folks come from Hall county GA. Some of his family migrated from Anderson and Pickens counties of SC to the counties above Gainesville GA. When dad was researching his family he found that some of his relatives in SC made jugs and crockery for food and liquid preservation. I have been looking for any of their products for some years now. I was excited to see that jug you rescued. It was amazing. Hopefully one day I will succeed in my finding some family clay products. Every time I find an old jug or crock, I have to check to see if it says “Dorsey” on it. Thanks for sharing 😊

It's sad that there is so much trash and junk in our waterways. Thank you for all you do.

Your Southern Pottery Alkaline Glaze Jug is beautiful! It's in such good shape. I also love the little ceramic jar too. The lavender glass & bottles are so pretty. The glass you found with the round section that has a swan on it would be really pretty cut it out on the outside circle and hung as a sun catcher. 😊💕

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

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!

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

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

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!

Definitely a lucky, one in a million find! Very beautiful and I'm happy that you invited Chris to talk about it. I love when you guys finish up your vids discussing various things about your adventures.

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.

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😊

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