Antique Bottle Digging at the oldest dump NC Day 40

Published 2022-05-30
#antiquebottles #tresurehunting #bottledigging Join me on another treasure hunt for valuable antique bottles. Some people don't like me because they say I hate cops or that I'm mean to them. This proves otherwise. I treat people the same way they treat me. I could've done a little better on the editing on this one but, it's good enough. This dump is finished and no longer able to be dug, but I have more videos of it still to upload.

    Too funny. I was going to comment “ I won’t ever piss you off as you dig some awesome grave sites”. Then Gilly walks into frame and steals my thunder lol. Great job once again. 😎
  • I enjoy your videos. I've been collecting bottles for over 50 years. That piece of the bitters bottle looks like a Browns Bitters. It kills me how all the junk bottles are whole and the good ones broken ! Keep on digging my friend. I live in South Boston, Virginia.
  • Scott you need to do a video with your back story about your beginning and some of your best finds.
  • Always watch your videos on a weekly basis. Enjoy all the hard work you put in to make these videos. Good luck Scott Michael from Australia

    Awesome finds my friend , that place has still got the goods ! Thanks for your time and sharing your video with us .
  • Scott, you had a awesome day and met a very nice police officer. Keep digging and having fun. We enjoy watching you videos.
  • Great dig Scott. Thanks for including your interaction with the cop.👍
  • That place is starting to look like a graveyard with all those neatly arranged mounds you've made lol

    I like what I saw, your knowledge, care and how polite you were with a curious officer. You suggest you are doing archelogy and you seem to have great knowledge describing what you find. Selling the bottles after finding, telling their story, and cleaning them seems a logical way to keep going and justify the journey. For me, archelogy is not just about the treasure hunt, learning, and respect of past, archeology is about documenting what we find today and recorded so future generations can learn. I spent eight years digging a 16x16x7' deep cellar (rebuilt stone walls/steps), circa 1780-1810 that is now a sunken garden on an old farm site near Hillsborough NC. Although not as detailed as I would have liked (there are no videos), I was able to post my progress over time on web pages on one of my web sites. Over time tell these web pages are not just snapshots but tell a story about what I found and who they were. "Things" get lost over time and the only reason I found your video was by chance because YouTube posted it today at the top. Unlike just a video, a web site with individual pages can allow you to keep an ongoing journal with many videos, pictures, maps (without sharing exactly where you are), history and copies of old documents, etc. By the time you have posted your video on YouTube about 90% of the work to take the next step of creating a WordPress web site (there are others) that is free hoisting and relatively fast to learn and easy to use. Being able to send one ULR for a web site or web page sure makes it easy to put lots of information onto someone's screen quickly. Doing this might allow you to create a single web page for each of the unique bottles/items you find. You could post a picture, add company history, add web links and add documentation in a few minutes. Over time, as I have found, one web page at a time, will add up to many. I do not know you, but I liked your video. Doing something like this may be a bit too much and over the top but in case you have not thought about this you might find my comments useful. Please know this is not a solicitation to build or fix web sites. This is only a suggestion from someone in NC who respects and loves its history and wants to see it passed on down the generations. If this is something of interest you are welcome to contact me through PM on Facebook or other channels. Statler Gilfillen Architect GOOD LUCK AND KEEP UP THE GOOD AND INTERESTING WORK.
  • That's a great bottle stopper. And a nice poison. Twenty bucks plus any day! Did you check those foundation bricks for markings? I would have busted a few loose while filling in the hole to check. Good dig, thanks for sharing.
