Metal Detecting An Abandoned Ghost Town (With 50 People!)

- Опубликовано: 11 дек 2021
- Hey guys! Metal detecting is something I've always wanted to do at Cerro Gordo. I've tried many times during my stay here, but never fully got the hang of it. But given that Cerro Gordo had so many people living here over so long, there has to be things in the ground!! So to try to unearth any of those artifacts a bit quicker than I could on my own, I invited out 50 viewers of the channel!
It was an absolutely amazing weekend and one that I'll remember for a very long time to come. I hope to have many more group events in the coming years!
A special thanks to Chris Kam and Andre who came out and filmed this, so I could just focus on interacting with everyone!
If you want to be part of a future metal detecting weekend, let me know in the comments below!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
Hello everyone!! Thank you so much for checking out the video. I think we need a full metal detecting WEEK to find everything that's left behind here. It's SO much land to cover, 50 people wasn't even enough. Let me know below if you'd be interested in participating in the future or any other group events you think we should do!
The coolest thing about this channel is they way we feel like we are on the expedition with you. Your storytelling method is what makes this so interesting. Great job, keep it up, can't wait to see what happens next!
The boys and I had an incredible time metal detecting with you at Cerro Gordo! You’ve awakened a deep interested and passion for them in the history and geology and they are sharing that with their friends and classmates. What an incredible experience and gift. Thank you Brent!
Hi Brent, The silver ring that was found is a seal ring. They use them to seal letters with hot wax then press the ring into it leaving their own personal stamp!
We had a great time metal detecting! Let's do it again!
This event was everything I had hoped it would be... and more! I drove from Southern Idaho to participate. Thank you Brent! Looking forward to another one in the spring time. 👍🏻
You should definitely hold an annual (or more often) metal detecting day!
While watching this episode I was thinking how interesting it would be if each item found are cataloged with the names of the people that rediscovered them. When the item is displayed for the public, the names of the people that rediscovered them will be honored for their efforts and discovery.
That seal ring is cool, the guy who owned it must’ve been of some importance to be sealing letters with his crest and initials
You are the perfect custodian for this property. An amazing life achievement! You are looking healthy and well fed. I appreciate you!!
As an archaeologist, I have a deep inner hate for metal detectors which I can't even turn off fully when watching this actually wholesome video.
Great video!! The "ring" at
This is the first episode that gave me tears since the hotel burnt down years back. Except this time they were tears of joy. So happy to see these hills alive again after so many years.
I got very emotional at how people came together to help in the search for artifacts. It is truly amazing how we can come together and help out to preserve such a historical town. I loved it!
Brent, as a coin collector that 1850 “nickel” is actually a half dime. Still a 5c coin, but they were made of silver back then. People didn’t start calling them nickels until they started making them out of nickel in 1866!
Those kids are incredible; shout out to our children learning and exploring; it's so important. Also, shout out to everyone involved.
As a middle aged woman living in Australia with limited funds I probably wont ever get to visit Cerro Gordo but your passion and genuine spirit is truly inspirational. Thank you Brent for being you and bringing this little town to life for all of us to see.
I'm an old man now, but this really, really reminds me of the connection we had in the late 1960s.
Honestly.. This is the most wholesome community on the entirety of the Internet. Every single video I watch from you just instantly warms my heart beyond belief, really wish I could join you at Cerro Gordo and just live that life of absolute freedom and joy. One day maybe..
it is unbelievable that one guy with huge dedication and big hearth can bring whole city back to life...!!!
