Join me and my friend Rob as we search with metal detectors at an old colonial homesite near a railroad track. We find colonial coins, buttons, shoe buckles and a unique iron adze.

My grandfather told me he used to break up old cast iron pots and use the pieces as shot for his slingshot to kill rabbits during the depression.

@GirladyLocks 6 лет назад

Interesting! Those sure were very hard times. I love old timer stories, though. Very much!

@tylerhurd9569 5 лет назад

Great story.

@ashleeaustin358 3 года назад

Thats very innovative, I bet it was tough breaking up some of those old pots. Super cool!

@zzzrebelyellzzzgaming4225 6 лет назад

Because of you I spent 722.54 and couldn’t be happier. Love my Garrett AT Max.

@utuber2940 6 лет назад

I hope you bought Lindsey some flowers on the way home, and if you didn't then you need to hold your breath until you get her some, even if they're late! Hope you're feeling better soon! All the best to you!

@lesahanners5057 6 лет назад

That definitely looks like a railroad or carpenters foot adze. Nice find. Very cool! The buttons and coins were nice too. Good to see you out and about and I hope you are at 100% soon.

@debbiemitchell6055 6 лет назад

Rob didn't seem very happy... Was good to see you out again, you both found some neat relics!

❤️ Happy Valentines Day! 🙂 Re watching this tonight. Enjoyed it again. ☺️

@louisaziz1235 6 лет назад

Great to seethat you aer out-and-about again. You have been missed. All the charcoal you have been finding could be residu from burning brush , etc. from clearing the land or from making charcoal. A lengthy process that had to be done several times each year. Great video.

@brianvaughn1468 4 года назад

Enjoy yer quirky humor. Thanks for the adventurin. Hilbillie squirrel bait. That's me...

@johnboy6247 6 лет назад

Sure enjoy you post. I am moving to Texas soon and am going to get my detector out again and start hunting. You have helped inspire me. Thank you for your post

@scottlund4562 6 лет назад

Great Video Beau! I thought you were on to an awesome dump with all that pot material, buckles, and such in that small area. Hope you get back there and dig like the beast you are without a camera, love seeing you dig, but if you did not worry about us I think the finds would mount up, and way beyond the 12th Georgia regiment.

@snyper069 6 лет назад

A while back you showed how to balance a pin-pointer over your target to get the exact location of your target. I REALLY appreciate that tip. Helped me immensely! It's cut down on my hole size on deeper targets. Thanks AC!

@dadspiranha.pipeslogos4207 6 лет назад

Hay bud you have the coolest videos keep them commin . Thankyou

@tracesmith7490 5 лет назад

The button with the cross hatch was a light plug cover, that even in the modern, a lot of the florecent lighting, the long metal style has holes that you punch out to install your select light bar and wiring. The "bullets" that are rubber look like pnumatic covers. I'd say your're excavating near an old factory that made lighting. :)

@lauraschuler3894 6 лет назад

The buckle thing that Rob found with the flower kinda reminded me of a barrette.

@miltonroberts7948 6 лет назад

Looking good without the beard. Glad you are back digging again.

@bovral3753 6 лет назад

The Hoe blade you found is for breaking up hard ground and digging trenches. I have one the same size in my shed which I've always called a Mattock. Sometimes they'll have a pick the other side.

@Pikesgirl 4 года назад

Watched everything so I’m watching everything over again and see Rob with a beard!! Hunted with him a few times. Great guy! ❤️

I just found your channel, and man, i just want to listen to you talk about history, and learn about what youre finding...its Freakin amazing, I could never afford a metal detector, but I can imagine how fun it would be to go out with my kids and "hunt for treasure" they would have so much fun

@Kris_at_WhiteOaksFarm 6 лет назад

I've got one of those "cooking" pots on my front porch. I think it was for making Apple Butter, and scalding chickens and hogs... It's missing a half moon piece from the rim... About six inches by four... If you ever find some pieces big enough, I'd purchase them and repair the Cauldron. I recently purchased a whole one a friend found for me. They're beautiful works of the iron founder's skill. My 'new' old cauldron was probably used to render Lard. It's very greasy inside. I'll be using it to scald chickens to ease the plucking.

sorry to here youv been sick look after self we like you on utube so take care chigga

@DetectoresRJ 6 лет назад

The good thing about the cold is that there is no thicket, here in Brazil, it is bad in many woods because the bush is 2.5 meters high, with no conditions to pass, and there are not as many coins as there lost, and when has to be of mixed material, the soil ends with them.

@advenzures 6 лет назад

Great finds! Happy Hunting! Awesome video!

@lindanwfirefighter4973 6 лет назад

Bo get yourself some elderberry syrup and take 1 tsp a day! Will keep you healthy. Love that the summer birds are there Bro! Gives me hope,the heat will return here in Canada! 😊

@charlieboyzname 6 лет назад

I think someone blew up the cooking kettle! Cook must have been terrible! I often wonder what level of disaster the loss of the all in one cook pot would have on an isolated colonial homestead, it would have been a major inconvenience for sure. Great digging nice coins and buttons and that pewter rat tail, that was a prized and very personal possession at one point until it just wore out. As always it’s a pleasure to watch you doing your thing Peace Charlie UK 🇬🇧

@keithdunwoody1 6 лет назад

Make a video of you cleaning that coin,that would be awesome.

@davidbean5807 4 года назад

Also, a couple of boxes of condoms makes for a great tip covers for the old Pinpointer. Keep it a little cleaner.

@valiantwarrior4517 2 года назад

@SueGirling68 6 лет назад

Hi Chig, wow some cool finds there, congrats on the half cent that was awesome. Nice video, thank you. x

@aatuvaan7563 6 лет назад

Captivating... I have no interest in digging stuff from the ground, but still i find myself watching these videos few hours a day. I might have to buy a metal detector and go do stuff i have no interest about

@bfgardin 6 лет назад

Oh..One other observation. Your 2 inner parts to "shoe" buckle-y" things. I believe the larger one is a shoe buckle center and the smaller one is from a knee buckle maybe?...Hard to tell sizes of things sometimes the way I watch these videos on a 50" TV. Large cents look like dinner plates from here.

@davemork4910 6 лет назад

Congrats on all the finds! That Enfield with the 57 does not mean that it is a .57 cal. What it means is the mold went to a rifle that was last modified in 1857. Same goes with one with a 56 in the base or 58 in the base. The 57 and 58 are the most common Enfield finds. Also Enfield rifles were not exclusive to the Confederate Troops. There were a few Union Troops that were issued Enfield rifles. Great video as always! ;-) Dave

@alexandral3279 6 лет назад

@toyrunner87 6 лет назад

I would guess the large item your found is some form of hewing axe or antz. It would have been used tp "mill" lumber.

@theofficialdiamondlou2418 4 года назад

I thought of that also. But then he mentioned the railroad. They had a tool to lift the track. While others pulled and replaced broken ties. Sometime in the mid to late 1800’s and the turn of the century. But I could well be wrong.

@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756 5 лет назад

Great find! That adze was for timber framing! Not the usual Carpenters adze it's wider and as you felt considerably heavier. Judging by the shape it's mid 1800's too fancy for colonial days. And the way the handle was shaped looks like the blacksmith was making axe heads and was asked to make it. Pretty unique piece. Thanks for sharing your dig with us Beau. Beeps.

@tedfuchs9132 6 лет назад

You remind me of the actor on SG1. Richard Dean Anderson. Of course when he was younger!

@Amanwithoutaface112 6 лет назад

@tedfuchs9132 6 лет назад

Yes. He was a lot younger then. Think he's 67 now. On SG1 his character was Colonel Jack O'Neal.

@lindanwfirefighter4973 6 лет назад

When I worked in Texas in the 90s we had a teenage boy come into the hospital! A few days before he had been mowing a lawn when he felt something brush his right cheek! He brushed his hand over it and didn’t see anything but a scratch. A few days later he had a large what his mother thought was a boil erupt over the same place! Suddenly it broke and hundreds of baby spiders started crawling out! 😳

@DrunkMercenary 6 лет назад

Let me just say . I appreciate the knowledge you share . I have an area that I frequent that has some concrete structures that I have asked tons of people what they may be and no one seems to know . Is there any way to send you those pictures ? Also thank you for letting us hear what your detector sounds like before you dig . Its really helps new guys like me to determine what could be treasure even though it may sound like trash .

@bentleejbf3440 6 лет назад

def an adze, great find Beau

@reiserstreasurehuntingempo8993 6 лет назад

@kevinshowers6477 6 лет назад

Nice find Beau a Draped Bust half cent issued 1800- 1808

@charleswilder2985 6 лет назад

Congrats on the half cent, that big adze, and the buttons, and congrats to Rob on his largie! It makes sense to find an adze with the charcoal, right? They used to use fire as well as an adze, to cut/shape lumber, didn't they?

@delyshera 3 года назад

28: 100 % sure it is a part of a 18 th century shoe buckle. We find the same ones in France.

@chriswest4199 6 лет назад

@alwoodsmodellingmayhem 6 лет назад

My favourite find was the thimble, although the Enfield bullet was something a bit special too.

@lazooro 6 лет назад

Hopefully it is a 1802 half cent, very rare and valuable but 1803 is also a great find! Should be cleaned more professionally, losing lot of $$$

@rogermarshall8991 5 лет назад

Just came across your chanl. That tool is a what's it called (adze) it's used for shaping timbers, beams & joints of wood for construction of a wooden house or barn. It's also used in boat building. That's my 2cents......

@soccovitch 6 лет назад

Maybe an Adze for making the railroad ties. That for sure looks like a spot to return! Nice work.

@canadianrelichunters5259 6 лет назад

@trimbaker1893 6 лет назад

HI, great digs. I think the hoe is for preparing the bed for a crosstie. Notice how it is the same width as a crosstie? Thanks for your continued good humor and intelligent tips. George.
