  • Here is a video of most of my metal detecting finds from the summer of 2012. Everything was found in rivers, streams and creeks. Plus, all were found with either a Garrett AT Gold or Garrett AT Pro metal detector.

    Beau, I enjoy your videos and information. The Dew can gets close to my interest ... old beer cans. Me and a friend detect drained lake/river beds for cans and the best ones are usually buried in mud = no O2. They usually look like your dew can, toasted seams and discolored reds and oranges. Happy digging.

  • @937matador
    @937matador 9 лет назад

    You can clean the coins using the battery charger hookup you use for iron artifacts, I found table salt and a small piece of stainless steel work well. It improves the look of the coin without marring the finish in any way. Use a flattened alligator clip so the teeth don't scratch. You can also "whizz" a silver coin using liquid silver cleaner. It may dull the coin slightly but the patina will come back. Great videos, by the way.

    Hey great finds Beau, I really enjoy your videos bud! Just waiting for the snow to melt up here in Canada so I can get back out there! The reason your US Belt Buckle and your silver coins turned blue is due to a chemical present in the water called Potassium Permanganate. It is used extensively in the water treatment industry. It's used to remove iron and hydrogen sulfide from well water and is used to control organisms such as Zebra mussels in fresh water collection and treatment systems. Dave

  • @LION749
    @LION749 8 лет назад +1

    you were wondering about the weird purple color that you found a lot on those coins its the result of oxidization a common natural cycle of rusting or corrosion of the coins... the way I figured this out was you wear certain kinds of silver or gold and sometimes for a long while when you take your ring you that kinda weird discoloration of the skin where the ring was that's also a form oxidization as well...

    The small round pewter piece with base you are holding up for inspection with the blue glass bottom is probably a candle holder.

    Is it possible that the copper that is contained in the old coin and the belt buckle is "native copper"? Native copper is natural and has a small amount of impurity as compared to modern 100% pure refined copper. I metal detect here in the copper country of Michigan and find many native copper mineral specimens that form a purple and green patina when they have been buried in soil or underwater for a long time. The purple color is cuprite and the green color is malachite. This may explain the purple coloring you see on some of your artifacts.

    Wow!! Awesome display of civil war relics. I was going to ask how you display everything you find, but this video provided me with the answer. You've found so many wonderful relics this past summer. For coins, I think they look better slightly cleaned, but not overly so. If they look like the average lot of change from someone's pocket, then this is okay. Cheers and thanks for sharing. GL & HH :D

    Brother Beau, I am AMAZED and envious of your finds,LOL, thanks for posting! I plan on doing some water hunting this year with my new AT Gold and the water can sometimes be pretty cold and of course you have to protect your feet in unfamiliar areas so what do you usually use for cold/foot protection? I was either thinking of using a wet suit with sneakers or chest waders, what do you find works best for you? Thanks RI_Jeff (The Mad Digger)

  • @WillELewis
    @WillELewis 8 лет назад

    that purple glass cup thing, could it be an eye cup? I know they were used in the past and presently to treat eye distress. You would put medicine or rinse of some kind, put your head down to it and keeping against the eye, then straighten up, open your eye and swish around, then reverse and dry. huh! excellent videos thanks!!!!
