  • I found treasure metal detecting around an old house built during the mid 1700's. I searched the dirt basement, around the lawn, and in the pasture. I found lots of old coins and relics including a HUGE piece of silver!

    Thats one of those houses that I see and say to myself "If I won the lottery and money was no object, I'd rebuild/renovate from top to bottom and use as much reclaimed beams, etc - would be so sweet if done properly.

    That little piece of lead you found in the basement is part of what I believe to be an old shipping container seal. They used them much like on a power meter box on the outside of a house to ensure someone hasn't tampered with the contents

    Or a hairbrush handle. A BEAUT !
    This style ran well into the 20's and should have markings along the seam.
    The one I found in three separate pieces, still had wooden bristle holder in the head.
    Careful when cleaning these are NOT strongly joined.
    Heaviest piece of silver I have dug so far.

    That saw tooth thing on the floor is a sickle bar from a hay mower ,the peice you picked up with the rings on the end was a horse bridal mouth bit . The military item looks like a hat flash for an Officers hat .

      Airdrop 1 yes that was an old grass cutter to bail hay with. It was a 2 piece set and they would move back and forth acting like scissors.

      Global rider , that’s a load of hoo ha, I’ve seen other detectorists finding the Merry Widow condom tins and have not been demonised over the mention of it at all. This is just a sheer case of him finding the word ‘ condom ‘ abhorrent to him. By him making that statement it makes the word condom, a little dirty in his eyes. Like I originally said, he would’ve been better to delete the finding of it altogether from his video clip and no one would’ve been none the wiser.

    That acorn shell casing is a .22 tear gas cartridge typically fired from a .22 blank gun or a dedicated gas gun. My mother used to carry one. Most likely from the 60's or 70's.

    Unforntunatly Metal detecting and digging Colonial, Fedral and Empire period Coins and artifact can be" nearly" impossible if you live in the Minneapolis, Minnesota metro area like I do.I've always wanted to detect and dig much older sites and farm fields in the eastern and southern Atlantic seaboard States like I see on your/ these great videos,and everything east of the Appalations ,BUT NOT ALL' is lost up here for me in the BoId North of Minnesota.I found my finds of a Life Time so far in 1994'95 and 1996 in the way of the Colonial, Fedral and Empire period artifacts kind and coins using my old USA made Bounty Hunter.Finding my first finds of silver washed pewter buttons/ all early American military with 13 stars,flat with soderd loop/circle shank in one small area along with round unfired lead musket balls and.grape shot all by chance during Improvements and new paths to Minnihaha falls Park a very OLD part of Minneapolis and. Ancient and sacred to the Native Americans,the falls of Minnehaha is a famous park and area which I so happened to live across from and 4 miles from Fort Snelling of 1820 and 2 miles from untouched Camp Cold Water of 1819 that was unseen and untouched in 1996 hidden behind fences and closed down opd Fedral building.This place is a natural spring that Coronal Snelling with a large military force of 500 + Men Officers there Wives childrenSkilled labour tools food goods spent the winter 1819 at Camp Cold Water that Minnesota in the 1890s built a beautiful memorial marking the spot were brave early Americans spent a winter outside in tents lean twos and stood against the British Army kept them from trying to control the Mississippi its Native psople and fur trade in a hostile dangerous wilder Ness all but forgotten and hidden away out of sight and off limits to none Fedral employment yup that's us lol.Well you guys get the idea that my house waz in between all this. Awesome history of the earliest Anglo near Colonial period presencel And the beautiful Indian Princess Hiawatha the one Longfellow wrote about, Minnehaha falls that year were a gold mine and Fort Snelling artifacts ECT by having a knowledge and love of history and Early Coins and artifacts believe it or not this Boy got a piece of New England Colonial plus bling rite here in Mpls outside my front door unbelievable

    round lead is probably the LED off of a nail head used to put metal roofs on. The LED sealed it so it didn't leak.

    Dirt basements are very interest to hunt under. It feels much different than doing it outside. It almost feels like you aren’t even metal detecting.

      I need to find more of these for when it's too hot to detect outside. =P

    The acorn headstamp on the .22 cartridge is RWS ammunition. Rheinisch Westfalischen Sprengstoff (RWS). Cool relics.
