3:21 Okay, when he said "never ever get out" I got absolutely terrified imagining falling into that and the slow horrible death that would come with it. It freaking froze my soul.
Always carry some rope
The sinkhole scared me moar.

Thanks for posting this, as it turns out I am highly allergic to falling into cisterns and into 50' deep sinkholes. ;-) good tips to think about when on the hunt for things, things might be hunting me.
Respect dude... I saw a 1 ft sinkhole and I stayed 20 feet away I can stand the thought of them
Good presentation Beau ! Even us seasoned detectorist get over zealous and forget about the entrapment's & dangers while out.Thanks for making this one !
I used to carry a roll of thin red/pink builders tape and tie it to twigs.trees to mark mine holes I found in the bush.
Also good to mark tracks and favourite spots.
Even tied some across my sisters pool to deter the ducks from landing on it.
Your treasures you leave along the creeks would be a good use to spot on the way back.
Great tips!
Those abandoned campsites can also be meth labs. If you see a bunch of plastic milk jugs or other containers full of what looks like water, it's not water, it's the hazardous bi-product from the meth production.
could also just be water. Remeber when the police shot that homeless guy living on the side of a hill in the middle of the arizona/New Mexico badlands? From the video of his completely botched 'arrest' for absolutely no reason, one thing i noticed was that his camp was littered with jugs which he used to catch/trap and hold water because he didn't walk into the town every day. He was in the middle of no where, surrounded by nothing and not hurting anyone. That case was absolutely insane.
Good video! Many people are so busy looking for critter danger they miss stuff like this, Another for your list is widow makers. With the recent droughts followed by rain in Texas the canopy is very unstable with dead trees and limbs.
Been confronted with several of your dangers... just never know and must always stay sharp and on your toes! Thanks for posting Beau!
I grew up in one of the original homes in our town and Dad filled in one cistern with all sorts of stuff from the land, but there was one we didn't know and I had tied my horse to one of the trees and was inside and heard a commotion just in time to help her scrabble her two hind legs out as the hole opened up. Eventually my folks found an abandoned well too. The whole place is covered with pavement and apartment houses now.
Great job snagging the 2nd trap! Video was fun to watch, I grew up on farmland and this reminded of the dangers out there.
You aren't kidding about cisterns at old or abandoned home sites. I used to be a prosecutor and I dismissed a warrant in a case we'd had open for nine years because the guy had been found-shot dead and dumped in a cistern behind an abandoned farmhouse. It took that long. The guy who did it was eventually convicted and is serving a life sentence in Fort Madison.
*****
Interestingly enough, there was an episode of MSN Lockup at the old prison in Fort Madison and they interviewed Martin Shane Moon, who was the person in question. He and another guy had escaped from the prison and were on the run for a few days. He was a druggie and criminal south of here and he figured the victim for an informer and disposed of him in front of witnesses who eventually traded their information for a break.
Back in the summer, we had a close friend of mine go missing in our town and they're pretty sure he fell into one of the vent shafts for the old mines that surround our town. They send a professional drone down one looking him and it went about 500ft down and broke. So they got another drone and sent it down again, hey figured it to be about 1,000 feet deep when they found pieces of the other drone, but no Jesse (that's the missing guys name fyi). It's been months now and nobody found him yet. All this stuff about vent holes and sink holes is no joke.
No, they didn't even find a body.
OMFG.
Still later and not even bones
Mumzly04 there a news report? I'd like to watch. If not that's fine. (I still believe you.
Was he your boyfriend?
I like how you said "well, let look, and then end the video.... LOL
Thanks Beau.. I look forward to yours and Nuggets videos weekly.
Bryan
A nice informative video Beau. Thanks for posting. Always keep your eyes out for dangers. GL and HH
I really enjoy the channel. I am a UXO technician and I have mastered a few detectors over the course of 4 years. My company used to employ the white's dlx 300 and schonstedt GA-52cx (ferrous only) but we moved to minelabs this yeard. The minelab e-trac this year.My favorite detector of all time is the Vallon VMH3CS. Although that is the only vallon I have used.
Woooh...take care!! That's definitely a serious hobby to have...but surely do appreciate seeing it with you...
Great video that you put together here. It should be a must watch for all newbies and even some of us that aren't used to hunting in the woods and areas like that.
Falling into a cistern is not just something that can happen in old homes. After my mom lived at her new home for a couple years, I was mowing her lawn where I had many times and she was walking behind me. She said it was rather soft back there. I put my hand down in the sod and there was air. I eventually had to deal with the Wisconsin Dept. of Nat. Res. to find out what I could fill it in with, and the proper paper work for that. I dumped about three yards of sand into a 20ft. (approx) hole. This was right in a city. Her house was built on the foundation of an old Victorian house that had burned down. So that cistern could have been there since the 1890's. It probably had wood boards over it that eventually rotted and fell in. It now has sand in it with a cement cap. Approved by the Wisc. DNR.
never even thought about half of these. be safe out there
Thanks for the warnings. So far the old well has been the one I have been most afraid of but now I saw some other dangerous things too. Got to be careful out there next summer. Very good video.
Great video. I would have never given much thought to this as a new hobbyist. I remember rolling a log out of a stream years ago while camping, and it had a broken bottle embedded in it that cut my hand deep, got 4 stitches and a spectator seat for most of the fun that week. Best to be careful.
Ottimo video Beau,-:)Questo serve a far capire a tutti quelli che praticano questo hobby da poco,in che cosa si possono avventurare,Ciao.Endriu!
Thanks Beau for sharing your knowledge and experience, many Vids out there on finds but not enough safety
The adventure and danger many don't think about. Thanks for the remainder
Excellent vid! I loved this more than the dangers in the water vid.
Thanks for sharing ! right always be careful when metal detecting. Happy hunting and looking forward for the next video.
Very good Beau, and for all that hunt in remote spots, always a good idea to keep your eyes and your ears open for all dangers that are out there. Remembering we are not alone out there...........
Yikes! I'm scared of heights, including holes in the ground and my heart was pounding when you were near that deep sucker. Maybe it's a good thing I haven't yet figured out how to make my detector (GTI 2500) work properly, lol. Always thumbs up for your vids.
***** Hmmm, I don't remember. I did find a 5 part series on garrettdetectors channel so if it still doesn't work it'll be my fault. Thanks for the reply!
Yes great info on this video! Thanks for sharing and Happy Hunting...Chris
a few years ago a man in my town (in west virginia) was bottle hunting in the woods, he was digging and the hillside was unstable and it caused a landslide and killed him... so for those of you who live in hilly regions be careful wherever you dig
The first day I went metal detecting at my house one of the first things I found was a razor blade just below the surface of the dirt. I always make sure to have gloves on now just in case.
3:31 Your right...no one will ever get out. Jimmy Hoffa is down there.
nice video helping people out and teaching them makes me feel great keep up the good work ;-)
really funny ending.great videos brother. I forget I'm not there with you sometimes.
Thanks for the heads up. My worst nightmare is falling into a well while detecting alone.
Good examples of things we detectorists need to be aware of. Good video
That sink hole was deadly, you got some scary stuff to worry about where you live Beau, be careful man don't know what we would do without our weekly fix of videos hahaha
Hey great video good examples awesome I have liked your videos for some time now great job thank you ,
The homeless camp was creepy as heck....
Man hitting that electric line would end your day pretty fast!! Especially standing in water... Thanks for another good video Beau... I always look forward to your new uploads....
I just want to thank you for educating yourself about teapping and the seasons.. most people would try to just dis-activate it without knowing anything. in most states it is actually illegal to dissarm a trappers set (if they are done legally and on him own land or permited land).. you don't have to necessary agree with it but you respect it! Also thank you for all the knowledge you have taught me about the hobby.... (FROM AN OUTDOORS MEM LIKE MYSELF)
Having someone with you is a big safety factor, they can go and get help if you get stuck somewhere or at least help you hobble back if you twist an ankle. To say nothing of helping you carry the stuff when you make that 'find of a lifetime'.
Beau, thanks for the safety advice. i started wearing gloves after seeing that arrowhead.
Very good vid, sure is a good one for beginners to pay attention to! Thanks :)
Dang I have never thought of half of those! Nice video! :)
There are some real dangers to digging, there are electric lines all over the place, good video.. thanks for sharing and HH
At work, I've come across all of these, except for the sinkholes. Thanks for the vid. Good to see someone showing the dangers of the backwoods. I never thought to do that. Hopefully you never come across quicksand. That's a lot less fun than it sounds.
i like your videos better than anyones.my favorites are your river finds.
great tips...always good to keep your eyes open
Good precautions , that every adventurer should be wary of. Thumbs up brother, DD.
Super video. Its easy to get lost in the moment and forget the dangers out there. Even more so if you are on your own. BTW I'm a retired telephone engineer and most lines will be 50vdc but with data can give a mains indication. There are still old trunk and link cables just buried with no markers and often very shallow. They can look like tree roots. So please take care before you knock out some poor old dear's line or cut of a small village. I have been to jobs where this has happened! Whoops. :)
Great vid! This is why I always wear gloves while metal detecting!
Two words.... Kevlar Gloves ! !
I use these {below} for many tasks that could present potential cut & abrasion hazards.
"MCR MEMPHIS BLACK KEVLAR CUT PROTECTION GLOVES 9178NF"
Of course, these are just ONE example of a plethora of other configurations, finger/palm coatings and manufacturers available out there.
Meanwhile... Happy Hunting ! !
There is food and garbage in the tent
Very informative Beau ,thanks
The arrow tip was what got me into metal detecting in the 1st place. My father give my husband permission to hunt but told him he had to retrieve his arrows. He shot and it went thru the deer and he couldn't find it. We looked for 3 days and then he went and got a cheap detector. It took him 2 years to find the arrow but he got it. Then I took over the detector and I was addicted. But the end of the summer I invested in an AT Pro, love it !
Thanks for sharing those rings to look out for. Always good to have situational awareness. I wear gloves for pretty much all my hunts. Tetanus is not fun.
I like soil as well. If I am out in the middle of nowhere, I may not wear gloves, but at a park or beach, I wear gloves.
Excellent, should be pre detecting viewing for everyone.
Just from the video thumbnail, the broadhead just looked painful. I wear VERY nice gloves that I not only wear when gardening, but I also wear them when metal detecting.
***** youtube likes to screw up everything every new patch
thanks for the safety tips beau .keep safe & keep the vids. comming my friend.
Hi! I'm from the netherlands in europe. I love metal detecting to! And i like magnet fishing! Luckly we don't have such deep holes in the netherlands. It is cool what you are finding in the video's!
Greetings!!!
Thanks!
@ 2:14, a legal, but immoral trap. Poor fox. What a horrible thing to do to a fellow living creature.
My thoughts exactly. There's much more humane ways to trap an animal.
I have never metal detected in my life but your videos are really interesting. Consider me subscribed.
Yeah the old wells and cisterns are a problem alright. So are old privies (outhouses) I was camping with friends one time on the site of what we found out was an abandoned mining town in the mountains of Pa. The place was all grown up and the trees were easily 100 years old. It didn't look like a town, just a lot of hand laid stone foundations. We didn't know exactly what the site was but knew that we had to use the buddy system while gathering firewood. There were undoubtedly hand dug wells and privies somewhere nearby. Got to be careful wandering around the woods alone.
thanks this is very helpful. abandon wells and cisterns are real and dangerous, i almost fell in one when i was a kid visting my grandparents in rural virgina. I was playing in the woods looking at an old cabin(slave cabin) just outside of Ford Virgina
kirkford Glad you're alive to tell the story!
Oh, shit! I thought that in the end someone will jump out of the tent! ))) Good video!
We also have a dangerous place, as warmer, I will shoot a video! The meantime we have snowstorm and low temperatures.
Snow - not really good for digging. But it gives me personally rest before the new season is not all that bad! When we have a prolonged winter, many diggers breaking experiencing, like junkies. We call it "breaking of digging." ))) Can Google translator little not so translated, as we would like, but I think that the meaning is clear!
Old A -holes with guns have always been my biggest threat! (The stories I could tell!!)
I would also like to add if you are field hunting and run into a suck hole or and unexplained hole in the field that doesn't look like a groundhog hole let the property owner know because the tile is broken in that location and drainage after heavy rains can cause damage due to tile being damaged. Those areas also undermine a lot if not repaired and you could be a good distance away and be in the hole before you know it.
im so hooked on these videos oh my god theyre so good
zane mc same
I got to these by watching minecraft vids 😋
Gah! What was in the tent? I often go hiking or on long walks in the bush. The other day I came across a large sheet of black plastic, next to the vehicle track. I lifted it up, but there were only more plants growing under it.
There are a lot of primary and secondary power lines that are trenched or bored under rivers. They are supposed to be 4' deep at minimum but that doesn't always happen. If you are close to residential areas and see a pole line there may be no buried lines but if you don't see a pole line but see pad mount transformers or sectionalizers (boxes on the ground about the size of big doghouses) then be real careful. These underground cables are insulated but that doesn't mean you can't stab a shovel through the insulation. Downed power lines are a no brainier, overhead bare cables are high voltage and overhead insulated are secondary's or lower voltage. Insulated cable in the ground could be either high or low voltage. Be careful out there and when in doubt stay clear and call the power company.
3:08 wow thats a bunch of poisen ivy right there!
ii feel you. that plant sucks!
*****
I have encountered almost all of these; however, deep wells are my biggest fear.
In the bins at goodwill there were 3 traps donated last week. Not mouse or rat, I mean small game, maybe as large as beaver. All worked. All it would of taken was some crazy guy to set them, and hide them in the merch. Watch out at the weigh N' pay. One trap had a name an the smaller ones were victor with cut-out v.
Nice ending only sharp shiss missing :) But we all knows there were only trashes and spiders underneath :)
Thanks for the vid. I hope that sinkhole (or one like it) is nowhere near anywhere I'll be. It is easy, though, to get tunnel vision and lose the big picture and warning signs.
Lol!! Like your ending! Thanksissss
good video buried electrical lines dangerous for sure
I read on another one of your pages your in Maryland. I went to comment and my internet froze up on me. Anyway I used to live in Adelphi Maryland near Silver Spring back when I was very young. I bet that would be a neat place to check out. I remember fishing that creek from the highway 495 I think it was all the way down to the old mill. Beautiful area back then I would imagine being almost 40 years ago it's now all built up. Another kool area near you to check out would be bull run. I lived right outside of Manassas in Centerville VA as a teen. I bet there's all kinds of kool stuff there as well.
Thank you this was very important to see
Im glad i wear kevlar gloves when i go metal detecting lol
great vids mate ive watch alot of your vids.im going to give detecting a go myself in the U.K....how come you cut the film without showing what was in the tent?was it deceased person or too gruesome to show?
Thanks for the heads up
what u think is a sinkhole is really just a collapsed well i'm sure. a sink hole sucks in stuff continuously. you'd see it moving .....if that was what it was but its not. just a collapsed well.
Beau, what part of Maryland are you from? I live in a little town called Rock Hall on the eastern shore. Ever heard of it? I know my town has a lot of history, I just haven't had any luck finding anything. Though whenever I get frustrated from not finding anything good, I just watch your vid where you find the huge cache of silver coins, and it gives me hope. Keep up the awesome vids man and HH!
Have you ever tried metal detecting the Mississippi? there is an old fort along the river in Fort Madison
Yeah there is a nice 1810 fort there. And it has a BNSF station
Do you use the cameras you find underwater in these videos?
Nice movie best regards Joop Visser from Holland.
I do my hobby metal detecting almost 45 years.
I guarantee that there's a lot of people who have not thought of the dangers you've pointed out. I confess I haven't thought about the sinkholes, systerns or traps. That's a definite wake up call. Thanks.
Happy Hunting.
Hay Aquachigger I just dug a Virginia Officer button and I hit it on the side. How should I prevent it from braking in half?
Good pointers. Thanks.
I stepped on one last year was in the ground since 1989.put me put of digging for awhile
"A few dozen detectors" Of course you have! Good grief I'm still saving up for number two for the salt water. The weather is nice here but it's too hot during the day to get out detecting. Early mornings or night hunts are the way to go in Summer. We never have snow in Winter and sometimes it can get down to 0' Celsius but the ground is always diggable (just made up a new word, "diggable") oh well! Anyway you have a lot of subs now so I should keep it shorter than this. Cheers and HH.
this is great advice thanks
Yea, you sure have to be careful..and being a lady who loves detecting, have to watch the homeless camps, although I have met homeless folks and most are harmless..but u never know..I am always prepared for the worst, but common sense goes a long way! Thanks for the video
Try metal detecting in Europe, you would be able to add following things: Mortar rounds, artillery shells, unexploded aircraft bombs...whole tanks :)
and active land mines here on Balkan.
You ever been around those famous bottomless mines?
Note: homeless camps sometimes have booby traps set up close by. In Ft.Worth TX. a lg. camp had fishing hooks hanging from the trees last year. Sure this happens all over. But I never thought of hooks in the air till then.
Great video, Beau, but you forgot to mention bears.
Awesome video!
Aquachigger were is a good place to go research for possible cival war travels. To know what creeks they crossed. What do u look for in your research?
