It cracked me up to see that 1 Japanese yen coin! It is the smallest denomination coin still in circulation here in Japan! I looked at the loose change I'm carrying in my pocket today and I have 8 of them that look identical to the one you showed in the video! They are aluminum and at today's exchange rate it takes 154 of those to make US $1.00! Great videos Brad! Keep up the amazing work!
@@NeonCheddar That must be an Americanism, I guess. I'm American, but I have lived in Japan for 50 years and I never heard of a "yenny"! In Japanese it's an "ichi en dama." I don't think Japanese would think of "yenny" because they don't pronounce that first y, so it would just come out "enny" which just sounds like "any" which isn't any fun. I recently read that the Japanese govt. is considering phasing out the 1 yen coin and making the 5 yen coin the smallest coin. We shall see!
I found it ironic that he found that coin with a $$$ machine when I remember a time a local on Okinawa laughed at me when I picked one up off the ground...he said it couldn't buy enough rice to replace the energy I wasted...
Being a fly fisherman, I can offer a little help. The area in front of a boulder or large rock is called a "Hydraulic cushion." Metal detecting in front of larger boulders shouldn't be ignored. Heavier objects do settle here. The current behind the rock is called an eddy; as you surmised, it's a low-pressure spot in the river. It will form, as you referred to, "coin holes." Not to mention shelter nice trout!
Just a little side note: if you are new to the channel- all of the music in his videos was written and performed by Brad. Not everyone reads the description of the vids, but you can find links to purchase the music at the bottom of the description.
BRAD! - is the NOT THURSDAY channel yours? Or is it someone stealing your content and reposting it? The channel has more subscribers than this one. I hope if it is not yours that you can get it deleted.
The "lantern part" looks more like the burner from an older camping stove. They still make camping stoves,but the modern ones have stainless steel burners whereas the ones made back in the 50's used hard copper or brass.
I've been to that swimming hole. It was ages and ages ago. And my brother lost his keys. We would pull up handfuls of stuff from the bottom and sift through it looking for coins. I don't remember where it was I lived in Vermont as I was only there for about a year. And every day I was surrounded with beauty and kind neighbors.
This oldster is so appreciative....I loved everything about the limestone creeks and the beautiful green woods of the Ohio and Indiana areas... You're a great friend 😊🕊️
The old swimming hole only if it could tell the stories it must hold. Hey Brad your videos a good cup of coffee on the back porch what a way to start the day thanks you sir. God bless , be safe stay well until next time.
I was gardening at my home, digging in the dirt, and found a Rolex watch!!!! It had been there a LONG time! I took it to a Rolex jewelry store, and the jewler paid me a very descent amount for it!!!!! You NEVER know what you may find!!!!😊
In the early 70s when I was a kid, I would get the occasional buffalo nickel in change or from my paper route. I would also get a silver dime or quarter and I remember getting some 1943 steel pennies. Silver coins in change pretty much ended in late 1979 when the price of silver jumped up.
What a beautiful place. We have nothing like that here in northeast Texas! We'd love to come see the Vermont mountains someday. Congrats on the gold ring!
I am a Vermonter that lives on Lake Champlain. I have tried metal detecting but my detector is a wonky machine that I cannot figure out. I spend a lot of time collecting beach glass. Last year while knee deep in the lake I saw what I thought was a round glass bottle top. To my disbelief, I pulled out a gold wedding band. What are the chances? I can’t find a nail with my metal detector but my eyes found a small gold band in 3 feet of lake water.
Dude, you don’t know how much peace you bring me, each weekend, with your finds. Life is crazy, and that Yen find had me wondering of the history and travels it has taken. Thanks again for your videos!
I think your mystery item is a piece of an old electric lamp. It looks like the base that supports the harp that holds up the shade. Turn it with those pins up, and I think you will see what I mean. I've been enjoying your videos for 2 or three years now. Very interesting and great locations. I appreciate your taking the time to throw in video of the plants and wildlife you run across, too.
Brad I find quite a few gold rings scuba diving but this past winter I found my first brass wedding band in the middle of the woods at a site someone was living at that is not on any old maps. That ring is at the very top of my trophy box!
The round looking lamp part may be a camp stove component. Anyway, I really look forward to your videos and enjoy your channel, thanks for taking me along.
The metal ring is for a lampshade holder on a more modern light. There is a metal piece that goes up around the bulb and has a screw top to hold shade in place.
I was yelling out “That’s a yen!” When you found it. Wouldn’t be surprised if the kid of a military family had a nice coin collection and played with it outside, maybe had a pocketful of coins and ran around the yard and lost that one. I ruined my dad’s coin collection by playing with it, and I think we used to carry loads of pennies in the backs of Matchbox trucks.
Great stuff! I always feel sorry for anyone who loses their wedding band. Think how crushed they and their spouse must have felt. Glad you found it, though.
Been trying to locate some old swimming holes here in Cape Cod. Finally found literally 2! Great video and content like usual! ty for the uploads - always enjoy your adventures :)
The findings were cool for sure but the most awesome thing about this video for me was that stream , sooooo awesome . I grew up in the Texas Panhandle and running water streams were few and far apart and usualy very muddy if you did find one. Such a gorgeous area you live in !
Streams and swimming holes or any watering hole are always a must, just knowing people followed them for many different reasons! Fossils or arrow heads are always in these places! Keep on digging, and I'll catch you on the next.✌️😊
As always, Brad super quality video congratulations on the ring. Always remember there could be someone new to the hobby and always wear gloves. See you next week.
Definitely from a very old oil lamp. I’m 62 and my Great Grandmother had quite a few with the metal ring cut like that. WOW just looking at that brought me back through the years really fast
Nice job on the ring find! I hunt a lot of beaches in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and have found about 50 rings, alas the gold one still alludes me. However this gives me hope. I have begun to hunt some of the smaller streams and found a collection area similar to the one shown in the video. 95 coins, but all modern... still a thrill as my wife was with me and she had a blast! Friday's are the best... thanks Brad.
congrats on the gold....I detect the same places you do so don't feel bad - you now have one more gold ring than I do in 15+ years of detecting! (also w/the D1 & D2)
Been subbed and digging your content for a couple years now and really enjoy and look forward to your content. I lived in Bethel Maine years back and there’s a swimming hole called Frenchman’s out in the Sunday river area. Beautiful scenery and I’d bet there are goodies there.
Great Hunt Brad. Congrats on the 10k Gold Ring. I'm with you on the Gold Finds. I detect in the mountains in Nevada. We find alot of Gypsy, Copper, and Brass Rings. So when we do find a gold ring, it's a special find. Congrats on the Watch, Buffalo Nickle, Yen, and Axe Head. Beautiful place you were at detecting. Take Care Brad
The first mystery item actually reminds me of a lamp shade piece to a modern lamp….has two places for the wires would have gone around the bulb. Looks like fun at that swimming hole :)
