      David, I hear ya on that. I had not been digging too much this season but finds like this get me motivated again. I also drop back and watch an old EPIC video from time to time and that reminds me that stuff is still out there to be found! Best of luck to you and thanks for dropping by and posting a comment.

      @@RonSwensonRelicAdventures Are you anywhere near Culpeper? I'm coming out from Ca in late March for a detecting outing and wondering if you had interest in maybe meeting somewhere sometime.

    • @RonSwensonRelicAdventures
      @RonSwensonRelicAdventures  9 месяцев назад

      I am a little north of Richmond. Culpepper is about 1hr 30 minutes NW of me. The ground up there can be pretty mineralized so be prepared for that.

    Great finds! Box plate is epic! Love the lock as well! I've got one from the Oregon Trail in electrolysis now. Love to see yours when it's preserved. Too bad about the I button.
    But still awesome!

      Hey HR. I get a kick out of some of that old iron!! I still dig big iron even knowing it is big iron purely for that reason. A cool old lock!! I dig plenty of junk iron but the good ones make up for all the junk! The I button is unique and has character and adds some mystery to the find! You know i love the box plate!! 😁

      @RonSwensonRelicAdventures OK, It was a few years back . Ron not to change the subject, but I have lost track to how many detecting channels I am subscribed to, including the big one's, and they have all found some awesome coins. But none of them will ever match your video on the gold dollar coins you guys found at night, still unbelievable, no one comes close.

    Thise big holes may be for storing ice cut from the river. They used to cut blocks and keep covered with hay to refrigerate foods etc sorta like a spring house

    • @RonSwensonRelicAdventures
      @RonSwensonRelicAdventures  9 месяцев назад

      Hey Bama Dave. Good theory on the ice house. There were several of them around and found it odd that they were perfectly round. Many "cellar holes" usually maintain a square shape some sort. Nice catch and thought! The hobby always keeps you wondering! appreciate the view and the comment!

    Love the channel!
    I'm looking for suggestions on film equipment and gear. What do you use...camera, tripod, chest mount, selfie stick, head mount, etc? I'd love to hear some input.
    I tried to film a little bit today with my phone on a tripod, but found it to be awkward while trying to tote a shovel lol.
    I'd like to see a quick video on how you film and what gear you use if you think other folks would want to watch something like that!
    Thanks for the great content!

      Wish I had a great list but no major production here. iPhone 14 Pro. That’s about it. 😂 hand held and I just talk. Live digs with one hand can be tricky 🤪but I’m not trying to be a professional channel. Just a digger that records a few goodies. I use video studio to edit my videos but they are all pretty much in the same style. I like having the memories to look back on and if others enjoy them that’s a cool bonus! Wish you success!! I like the name!!👍🏻

    A big high 5 on that U.S. box plate. Amazing find. Too bad about that “I” button.
    Do you think that decorative piece is from a book clasp?

      Thanks Doug! 🤚🏻hi 5 for sure ! Unique button for sure! 😃. I think that decorative piece might be a part of a shoe buckle it is pretty heavy and thick. Also thought it could be part of a picture frame who knows!!
