Bottle Digging late 1800's mill community dump, Bill Ladd Treasure hunting

[tatertotninja302]

forget every one else i get just as happy!

[spec420hz]

sweet finds, the oldest cork top bottle i have is a soda jug from 1965, well, it's not that old, history wise, but still a good find though, and those are good finds by the way, may god bless you

[bottledigger113]

great finds will you be making any more digging vids soon?

[LostTreasureComAU]

I find heaps of those Scotts Emulsion Cod Liver Oil bottles here in Australia, exactly the same

[TheDukeOfHelena]

You guys are hilarious! I loved watching this dig. Your excitement over the bottles is great, even if they are some common ones. Now go find some nice pontils and dig yerself a Kelly's Old Cabin Bitters while you're at it! Great job guys and happy digging! Keep up the great work ( if you can call it that, I call it lots of fun! ) and put up some more videos for us. Your enthusiasm is highly entertaining and catching! I gotta get out and dig once Spring gets here.

[highenergyog]

I would love to bottle hunt with you guys, the excitement is great that you guys show. If your ever up here in Ontario Canada be sure to let me know. >Lloyd<

[highenergyog]

I have found a few nice bottles while relic hunting up here in Ontario Canada, I found a nice dark green crackel glass cream server, i was happy about that find. Also I found a black porcillin elephant with made in england and 4 numbers on the underbelly of the elephant , I was very surprised at the near perfect condition it is in. I have many more nice finds from pop bottles to medicine bottles to ink wells .I have no idea how to sell the items that I have found, can you offer advice? >Lloyd<

[mymetaldetecting]

I love the enthusiasm! Keep it up!

[bullhurley74]

sweet finds..cheers from pawtucket R.I

[Glassfromthepast1]

Wow you guys get excited over a HOOD's man I thought you were going to have a heart attack

[SHNewEngland]

@Glassfromthepast1 We brought a friend for the first time, & that was his first HOODS. Yea, not rare but he was excited. This was our first day opening up this brand new dump & we were like kids in a candy store being detectorists mainly. It's our crazy excitement that helps me get 400,000 views......

[bottledigger113]

how much is the clay pipe worth?

[MrJrodarod]

Love the camera guys voice, he sounds like an Adam Sandler character. Like that lady on his first CD "why don't you go play with your cock'n balls for awhile"? I realize if you've never listened to it this statement would seem f'ed up, but im willing to take that risk :)

[bingobongo445]

Dude save wear and tear on your clothes get some knee pads.

[jfm9999]

Is there another video for this dig?

[grettagrids]

ever find any old glass vaseline( petroleum jelly) jars?

[howtobible]

Great finds! Do they have monetary value at all? 

[SHNewEngland]

@howtobible Yes, very much so.....that's why we get so excited. Most of the embossed ones we showed are $5 & up.....

[howtobible]

@SHNewEngland That's awesome! I'm watching out of jealousy! I want one for my mantle!

[pcpik3r]

wow finally someone who appreciates bottles, im only a kid and i love goin diggin

if ur ever in the NH area send me a message

[fluoridekid]

Awesome bottle hunt with some really cool finds. Good hunting :D

[forku2umf]

@helixdodge Have sex with a bottle!

[forku2umf]

@sunsetretreatsxm The U.S. isn't 500 years old. Pick up a history book. I'm new to this. Starting in 1968 and a charter member of a bottle club (1968). A 100 year old bottle, then, was 1868. Pretty nice. SHNewEngland pulled a 200 year old coin up. Not old enough I suppose. I detected a 168 year old large cent. Not old enough? I have detected over 100 pounds of newer, common coins. Not enough? The silver/gold coins weigh out to over $17,000. Still not enough? I'm just gonna hafta try harder.

[JerseyMetalDetector]

Just saw some of your videos today all very good and im glad you guys all having such a good time. Nothing better than unearthing something that hasnt seen daylight in so many years. Keep up the good finds! Makes me want to find a good spot to dig and I will someday. HH

[SUNSETRETREATSXM]

Well it s just a bottle guys if it was a 500 year old bottle but this is just over 100 years 

[SHNewEngland]

@SUNSETRETREATSXM I just love idiot comments. We just love diggin' & since your from Europe I wouldn't expect U to understand that we don't have 500 year old bottles here........

[bingobongo445]

@SHNewEngland A bottle doesn't have to be 500 years old to be valuable, that cobalt blue bottle he found. Could be worth 10 times what a 500 year old is worth!

[hellomcflyy]

@SHNewEngland its just a lot of fun - and -pretty good exercise....definitely different muscles than detecting- plus there are bottles worth in the thousands - just like detecting- you never know what will turn up - old relics and coins turn up quite a bit in dumps if you have a good eye....

wonder what some of the viewers think about your can-dumping (as its called) video...

[SuperSnoopy36]

Amazing old bottles. Well done. I love all the enthusiasm...

[able421]

This is so addictive...

[skaterdude1408]

i love the excitement they are like children at a toy store

[JBernard79]

I wish I could get as excited as Howard does. His excitement makes me laugh.

[TuKaha1]

lol like kids in a candy store hahahaga

[turlockca209]

how do you know where to go to find this where do you get your research from and what arey ou using to detect glass lol

[imatelly]

i know of some bottle dumps from long ago around my house no one ever dug ,are old bottles worth digging or how do you find prices on old bottles

[jake20103]

@imatelly Yea old bottles have a great market, their worth looking at for sure.

[g8sboys]

I'm new to digging and i was wondering how you find the bottle dumps and how you now they're there

[ivymercer]

nothing better then first finding a bottle and then the susprnse to see if its still complete, especially blue poisons, pot lids, dolls heads and earthen ware ginger beers.

[angelkubin]

Beautiful Bottles you guys have found... happy digging from Arkansas

[coolmage9]

I was wondering how to find a good location to dig for bottles. I wanted to dig in a area where there used to be old mills on one side(recently demolished) a river, pond in the middle and rail road tracks crossing the river.I was thinking that maybe there would be bottles on the banks in that area.What would I look for as a indication of where the bottles would be.And in other areas the water has all evaporated would that also be a good site to check out.?Any info would be great.

[northernboy68]

I live in Canada near Cobalt Ont. lots of good digging here being a silver town that boomed in around 1906 , some people just don't understand the excitement of digging up a piece of history that has been buried in the ground for a century, not to mention it can take a lot of reading and research where to dig, I just love it, thanks for posting this vid.

[38woodchuck]

Guys, I collect glass insulators. Ever dig any that you may want to sell?

[wilburtrex]

I... I don't understand! This is just trash?!

[SHNewEngland]

@wilburtrex Well, people collect old bottles....but I wouldn't expect an archie like U to understand

[kycustoms]

@wilburtrex if you dont understand why some people have a passion for old bottles you must be a city slicker

[Helixdodge]

Dude... I like Bottles,, but sex is better in my book....HAHHA, dig it.

[SHNewEngland]

@Helixdodge Yea, but just don't get married.....then there will be no more sex & no diggin' ;)

[planejet42]

Amazing finds!!!! Is it rare to find a spittoon whole, it nice to see real enthusiasm when a find is made!!!!

[BJEAKE]

I wish Howard would be a little more enthusiastic. LOL

[cycloneCJproducts]

you guys rock!!!!!!!

[wyrmwoodnh]

Bill,

This video was so much fun to watch. Thanks for posting it.

I live in NH and would love to go bottle hunting. Any ideas on local groups/how I could get started?

Jonathan

[SHNewEngland]

@wyrmwoodnh Thanks! We have a bottle club here in RI. & you should check the internet for a club in NH. Or perhaps you can check for some bottle digging message boards or forums online & find a diggin buddy nearby that way.....good luck- Bill

[edmm976]

@wyrmwoodnh slow witted people doing slow witted things,how nice!

[edmm976]

@wyrmwoodnh listen to the squeels these people make

[celt1cs505]

@wyrmwoodnh heyy im from new hampshire and i also would like to start bottle hunting i just dont know where a good place to dig would be

[iceblueni]

Another great video....... I enjoy watching you guys almost as much as you enjoy digging :p

[ErlefromVa]

Bill, you guys are having way too muc fun....Congrats on some super bottle finds, spittoon and pipe bowl. I look forward to seeing part 2 of the adventure!

[kyhillboy1982]

sweet finds guys!!!

[MickTwin]

What a great video.. like kids in a candy store you guys are fun to watch!

[SHNewEngland]

@MickTwin Hey Thanks- That's a perfect way to describe us & our excitement. Large ash dumps like this that are easy to dig & still producing after folks dug there in the 70's & 80's always get us going......

[thirdphaseofmoon]

Thats was a super cool Bottle Hunt Boys! Hey dont forget to enter the bottle video contest!

[SHNewEngland]

@thirdphaseofmoon Thanks alot. I love your Hawaii videos. Far better film making than us....but hopefully we make up for it with our excitement :) Not sure what/where the bottle vid. contest is.....

[thirdphaseofmoon]

@thirdphaseofmoon

[ConsDigginVids]

best bottle digging video of 2010, nice job Mr. Bill Ladd

[SHNewEngland]

@ConsDigginVids WOW! Thanks for the compliment & I'll tell the guys. We're headed back tomorrow for hopefully a sequel......

[supdude131]

very nice hunt!!!!if im up in NE, can you take me on a hunt? :P

[RecoveringRelics]

Nice old bottles Bill! You guys all made great finds. Looks like a lot of fun and I can't wait to see part two!

[rlewis1946]

Thanks for getting back to me. Please use some time on next video to show the cleaned up finds and read off more of the embossing, making some comments on the maker, etc. Really fascinating part of American archeology! Thanks for posting and looking forward to you next video!..Roy Lewis Atlanta, GA USA

[CarletonWatkins1861]

Looking good Bill! Would love to come up and visit again sometime.  Let me know when you are in Virginia! -Bob

[vcstar5]

Sweet! Please make more videos, they are awesome.

vcstar5

[MyYogiB]

To much fun you guys! Thanks for the video!!

[PreservingHistory65]

Awesome stuff!! Thats quite the honey hole.

[rlewis1946]

Newbie question: About what time frame did bottles go from having embossed labels to having printed labels? Thanks, RL

[SHNewEngland]

@rlewis1946

They are still embossing today, so it's alot easier for us to look to see if it's been blown in a mold or made in the 20's & up by an automatic bottle machine (ABM). We used the term ABM in the video, but most all bottles seen were blown.....

[nuggetnoggin]

Awesome hunt!, congrats on the all the bottles, it makes me want to go privy diggin this weekend

[MNdigger]

Great Vid Bill!!

Awesome Bottles!!

HH!!

[SCdigger]

Nice Bill....gonna' check on those Southwest rates!

[TreasureFiend]

Lots of great finds guys, congrats!!!!

[canadiandigger]

Great video guys lots of nice finds.

[cdltpx]

I use to live where we had a civil war battle we use to find bottles like those all the time we hardly dug for them. I think the bottles are better to find than coins the bottles are amazing cause it is so incredible they survived this long. That chamber pot is worth some bank it is artistic and hand made took some skill to build.Yall had too much fun.

[jjaddict]

That looks like so much fun!! I love the cobalt blues, simply gorgeous! Thanks for sharing this awesome video, keep up the good "work", and keep the vids comin! Oh BTW, is there a link to either of your Antiques Roadshow appearances? I'm a huge roadshow fan, and I've never seen your clips, or they were too long ago for me to remember them.

[SHNewEngland]

@jjaddict

I was on the Roadshow on the 1999 Providence, RI episode part 1 with the slave tags. Not sure if they have put old shows on DVD's yet? I just have it on VHS with no idea how to get it online- but I'd love to. Thanks for watching.

[MrWildkat]

you made me feel i was right there with you. man that was fun, cant wait for part 2,3,4,5, bring it on, thank you

[icollectstuffdude]

I love how happy you guys are! This brings back old times. Great video!
