  • Here I return to the old well I found last year and explore the homestead with a metal detector. I find several old coins, buttons, tools, pottery and may other interesting artifacts of the years gone by.

    I know it's probably not worth anything, but I enjoy seeing the bits of pottery. It's like a direct window into the homelife of these people.

    I not only love the stuff you find but I really enjoy the teaching behind it all, showing how to you do it, explaining everything. I appreciate that! My father used to metal detect in and around Harper's ferry back when you were actually allowed. I'd love to get into this! Thanks man! Love the videos

    I want to join others who have told you that they enjoy your videos. Thanks for bringing all of us along on your many hunting adventures! It has been very enjoyable. I get a jolt out of watching you find all the stuff you discover! I really like the videos in the various bodies of water. I hope we get to live long enough for you to carry on, and for us to keep watching. Things are so volatile with the humans on this planet !

    My husband and I got to refurbish an old homestead August through November of last year. We did a lot of digging and found a lot of amazing bottles, a couple of broken down wagons, and old appliances. The original homestead was from 1853.

      ***** While finding last years Christmas decorations in the attic,we discovered 2 nails from a Spanish Armada ship that ran aground at a beach over the road.
      There is absolutely no telling what you might find while doing anything with your house :)

    Is it weird at all that im an 18 year old female and i love your videos? haha I was raised camping and hiking through the woods since i was a baby, and i got really sick about 6 years ago so i havent been able to go, so i love watching your videos to remind me of better times. I plan on going back up to vermont with my dad this summer to go camping, so ill have to look around for stuff a lot more than when i was little.

    As an antiques dealer who loves old pottery and china, I'd give my eyeteeth for a complete dish, bowl, or other item from any of those patterns you unearthed !!! And heck, what a great mosaic table top you could have made from those chips and it would make a wonderful conversation piece about your adventures!!! Something to treasure and hand down through the generations.!!!

    • @vickiolson1198
      @vickiolson1198 9 лет назад

      ***** I'm so glad that you do. Somewhere in my stored price guides I have a book on the patterns of blue and white dinnerware from that era. Some of it is called transferware, some flow blue, and others are just hand painted ironstone.

    Say I finally got around to getting my fathers old Metal detector made in the 1970's a Whites Gold Master Metal Detector back up and working. The thing has 2 battery packs in there one for 2 x 4 and the other a 2 x 3 with nine volt connectors and such. I had to get both the battery packs replaced, and put on a couple of new 9 volt battery snaps on it. Now the thing works nicely.

      Good news. I got it back to life. Just need to figure out the voltage and specs of one of the petentiometers on the thing which it is a snap kind and it is frozen in a single position.

    I got my first metal detector at Christmas and finally got the chance to use it a few days ago. (I was so excited) I watch tonnes of videos of detecting on beaches and knew this was my turn to find some goods. At the end of a 3 hour walk up and down the towel line I came back with a battery, 12 rusty nails and 3 bottle caps. Sadly I wont be posting my finds on RUclips :(

    Killer hunt. Love the old home sites. Seldom find them any earlier than the early 1800's around this area of TN. I have been in several virgin home sties from the early 1800's (little ghost town) near where I live and get tons of flat buttons, but can't buy a coin from the period. Lots of pewter as well. Anyway, another great vid. Enjoy, and look forward to each. HH

    I have a pile of pottery pieces laying ii my front yard now. The ground has frozen so I have to wait t get back out there with my new Garrett ACE 350. I originally found the spot with my Old Garrett Gold Scorpion. I want to get back to South Dakota to get the pottery chips in a lake. At one time the lake was a big tourist location. The pieces I found were old Chinese stuff with Oriental types of figures on them. I also want to get permission to go on my Grandpa's old homestead. I have one old ice skate from that location. There is also my baby cousin is buried there. I want to place some type of headstone there. It is to bad the old log cabin on the river is now under water. Besides my Dad and Grandparents living there the Lewis and Clark expedition camped there. That is another whole story in it self.

    Beau, you find more in three hours than I do in a month! Some interesting items, but up here in MN, I was probably soil my drawers if I found even one large cent. Another fine video my friend and I'll be watching for your video about cleaning the large coppers.

    @TreasureHuntingSWPA412 9 лет назад

    I found a pewter spoon/fork handle that looks exactly like the first one you found. I had no idea they were that old. I was detecting a site that is on the earliest map I can find of the area; 1861. Found an old counterfeit seated liberty half dollar there also.

    Thanks, for the ad, my first day out yesterday, I found oyster shell, what looks like bone , one several delepatetated penny, looks steel, but is missing where date should be,, I found out very little history of the area so far,, mostly a wide range of Indian territory near Nashiminy creek, I am focusing on a patch of woods, near there, but it seems it was a dump site in the 60's !and 70's. So shredded foil is killing the batteries and still don't understand, this Bounty hunter metal detector, Hay thanks again..happy hunting.

Long, long ago. Far, far away. Way back in my memory I've seen that chin, those ears! IT IS YOU MR BEAU! How does it feel to have the wind touch your face again? It must be weird after all this time. You look great sir! I hope your lovely wife is pleased ;-) I was sssoooo ready for a good video from you! I'd give my eye teeth to learn from you! I don't want to know your places, just how to research mine. Either way it's always great to see you sir! TY! Be blessed, GL and HH!

    Hi Beau. A couple of questions for you... I have heard that some pottery glazes (& iirc especially with old and blue coloured ones) had a lot of lead in them. If that is correct, could the pottery glaze have been giving your detector signals? The other question, is regarding that odd little wedge... I've been researching trestle table designs (i may build one), and the wedge looks about the right size and shape used in some old ones to stabilize the long bar. But something like that would only be wood, wouldn't it? So the wedge you found would be unlikely to be that? (wondered because with so much pottery, i wondered if it may have come from a kitchen area). Cool finds! Thanks for sharing them.
