Some cool finds! I love the "California Fig Syrup bottles". I keep the steel, and metal parts from digs. Especially the brass, bronze, and copper items. If they are not too caked in rust, I soak them in a 25-gallon container of "Evapo Rus" and then go about really cleaning them up. I have used drawer pulls, door knobs, skeleton keys, and copper wire that I have found on wood items I make in my shop. I make spice cabinets and have used the handles, and drawer hardware on them. I even found a very ornate brass door knob on a large custom-made pantry-style cabinet for a customer. She had not picked out a door knob and told me to "surprise" her. Well, she loved it. She couldn't believe the door knob had been in the ground for 125 years and that I dug it up. It came out beautifully after restoration. I can't imagine why someone would have thrown it out because these were not cheap back then. Still are not, lol. Hey, if you are ever in New England, my hometown is Guilford CT. 06437, and it was founded in 1647. Also, the town next to it, is Madison, CT06443, and that was founded around the same time. I have found items from the 17th and 18th centuries that came from England, Germany, and France that are in my collection. Some I have given to my nephews so they can enjoy them now and not wait until I die. LOL!!

I have come to a conclusion that you are a professional digger. I had a friend that was a plumber and he use to dig a lot of holes to expose pipes. His boss was very cheep and wouldn't rent a backhoe to save a little money and have my friend dig the holes just as you do. Watching your videos reminds me of his stories he would tell. He has passed away years ago from work related injuries. Thx for the video.

You work really hard at getting those bottles out. As an artist and appreciator of your hard work, I can only suggest someone might take interest in framing these bottles especially the drugstore bottles. let's say four at a time ,clean them really well, frame them in a 8x10 inch or 8x 14 inch frames and sell them to restaurants or drugstores. They can hang them in the window or sell them themselves.

Hello! German major and translator here. I just found your channel this morning and I love this kind of thing. I once did an "Internship lite" in a German museum, checking inventory of small Roman artifacts, and the little glass bottles especially remind me of that work. I have a somewhat-wordy comment about the Hoff's (German) Liniment bottle that I noticed in this and I think at least one other video. I suspect that this brand was very popular in the upper plains and Midwestern states. My own grandfather was born just before the United States got involved in World War 1 and his very German name was Anglicized due to anti-German sentiment. Bearing this in mind, I got curious if the name change for Hoff's Formerly German Liniment may have begun right around then. I did a cursory search of old digitized newspapers, then searched at the National Museum of History at the Smithsonian and it looks like Hoff's Liniment (minus the word 'German') started being manufactured in 1917. Oddly, I could still find ads for Hoff's German Liniment in digitized newspapers through the 1930's as well, so I'm not sure why that is. I am very interested in this topic because often, renamings from German- to more Anglo-sounding names were sometimes such a big deal that they would be printed in newspapers; nowadays we would call them "performative." I believe that Woodrow Wilson had said unflattering things about "hyphenated Americans" and there was real social pressure to prove loyalty and patriotism, and so families, businesses, and streets were renamed forever, or at least a few decades. Please bear with me if this info is already known.
