Hi Beau - If you haven't already found it out - the VR and Crown logo are patent marks and probably indicate it is an English Lock. The VR stands for Victoria Regina (Queen Victoria). It likely dates between 1840's and 1901

@iLizard_King 9 лет назад

I wish you were my uncle/grandpa, this looks like all I want to do with my life!

@dougault3145 8 лет назад

That lock with the VR could be Victoria Regina ( Queen Victoria ) , you find it on all old crown property in the UK

@AndrexT 5 лет назад

I agree and the font used is correct and period.

@thetarheelreenactor8239 9 лет назад

Beau, do you have any Confederate Belt Buckles? Also, can we see the "Relic Room" one day as a review?

@bradford7944 9 лет назад

Hunter Kinley he as one that shows quite a bit of his room/collection

Wanted to thank Beau for his videos..was hunting in new spot and wasn't familiar with the animal traps.(we are super new at it).found one in the creek that could've been functioning although rusted..we were able to steer clear recognizing them from similar ones that Beau finds....just one of the many things I have learned watching Beau's vids.

@SteveC200 9 лет назад

Should have titled this video 'Cloudy with a chance of Minie balls'.

How do you clean off all of the little gunk off of the magnet?

@ericday604 9 лет назад

Congrads on the plate man! I love that lock and would LOVE to see it cleaned up. I collect locks and am a hobby picker (locks that is). Bet that water is still a bit chilly...brrrrrrr. great vid, thanks!

@HobbyCache 9 лет назад

Amazing finds Aquachigger. That lock is something. You wore out the finger tips on those gloves(:

@Dirtflicker 9 лет назад

@DugMoneyDetecting 9 лет назад

Congrats on the box plate!!....Thanks again man, very enjoyable!...HH

@JonBoyMilitaria 9 лет назад

You remind me of MacGyver a little. That was a great show and this is a great video. You channel is great too. lol

@jerrydineen2827 9 лет назад

Congratulations on the U.S. Plate, that and the lock were sweet finds. I love old locks.

@leburnham5864 9 лет назад

Beau, Just think of all the tasty frog legs those tadpoles will one day be :) I have a chance of being the first metal detectorist to hunt a privately owned historically important site. It has a privately owned museum on it. The finds would go to the museum. If I get the go ahead, would you like to come up here to WA and take part? Part is land and part is beach/ ocean.

@nathanmurphy9387 9 лет назад

Have you ever found a hand-held fire hose from forest firefighters. Because in the creek behind my woods a found 2 brass nozzles and half of tank that they wore on their backs. The straps and hose were cloth so must have deteriorated a while back. Also nice vids!

@usakindatheartflower6229 8 лет назад

you need a fence for animal traps you need a fence for rail road nails you need a fence for gears you need a fence for window weights u need a fence for horse shoes... did I leave anything out? lol

@GasserGlass 9 лет назад

Another Fun Video... Those piece that you thought looked like wall brace end caps, looked more like VERY OLD 90 degree cogs/gears to me? ..... I could be wrong Thanks for the video like always

@PlasteredDragon 9 лет назад

Good hunt, Beau! Slick plate and that lock is bad-ass!

@MUDSWAT 9 лет назад

Next time you find a strong box lock, look around the entire area for gold coins. :) Also if you find a giant piece of Iron you can't take with you. Set it aside somewhere noticeable so you don't detect it twice when your in the area again. You've been doing this your entire life so I know you're aware of that. Keep @ it and HH !!

@vin-r8602 6 лет назад

Plus he can always go back and get the stuff if he wants to. He knows it’s in safe keeping when it’s in the “River”

@ZachByrd 9 лет назад

And he's done it again folks. Great job Beau!

@TheHighFlyer132 9 лет назад

in my u.s history class we briefly learned about the bullets, so about 15-30 seconds. He was talking about the Minie, and he said it wasnt pronounced mini, but like minai. This made me mad, since you and nugget say mini. Also, my wishlist of finds are currently an Indian head penny, a horse-shoe, a gold ring, civil war belt buckle, and any civil war bullet. While just walking through a farmers field, no gear on me at all, i see a horse-shoe on the ground, i got real excited, even though it was only half. I always seam to find metal, no matter where, like when i found a razor blade buried in some dirt at a retirement home.

@TheHighFlyer132 9 лет назад

***** I once found a 1946 wheat penny on a "beach" along the meramac. But ive hit a road block, since i cannot drive yet, and im stuck to the same general area. Thanks for the help.

@Blueswailer 8 лет назад

Hello Beau! A new subscriber here, been going through your extensive list of videos for a couple of days now. I must say, you make great content! I have been considering getting a metal detector for a while, there are areas within walking distance of me that used to be inhabited but now only contain foundation stones, as well as a ruined sawmill's derelict power plant. Then, next to that an area that was bombed around the time of WW2 where many houses built in the 1800s burned down. I'm thinking I'll catch the bug if I get to metal detect around those places.

@GeneSchmidt 8 лет назад

Dude. I have watched so many of your videos. Only discovered you a couple weeks ago. You are so entertaining. I'm hooked! Best of luck!

@Dirtflicker 9 лет назад

Nice U.S. Box plate Beau! AWESOME! Hey man you should clean up that old lock, that thing looks like a good old one. It would probably clean right up in the Electrolysis tank. I just cleaned one up similar to that but smaller. Nice finds man!

@Full_Metal_Digger 9 лет назад

Hey Beau that was another fun video! I enjoy seeing what you pull out of the rivers. I try not to hold my breath when you go under though! LOL. I have seen that lock before. The VR stands for Victoria Regina or Queen Victoria. These were made by the firm of Abraham Thompson of Willenhall, England. Best wishes and HH, Dave.

@MadisonMainedetecting 9 лет назад

I love that big lock and the US box plate Beau. Hey, should I do anything with my AT Pro seals before putting it under water this season? As always your video is full of information. GL&HH

@MetaldetectingagencyCoUk 9 лет назад

Victoria Regina. Is the AT Pro roughly the same as the AT Gold? Lovely CS plate!

@Supradrew 9 лет назад

That US Plate was a nice find. And seeing all those baby tadpoles was fun. ttyl -Drew

@bradford7944 9 лет назад

I Have to ask....is it your plan to single handidly raise the price of civil war relics by findin them all?...............lol....love the vids!

@TheRevering 8 лет назад

Beau are you a vegan or vegetarian? Just curious. Saw that you don't hunt animals anymore. Love your vids by the way brother.

@TheRevering 8 лет назад

***** Ahh, cool man. I've become somewhat the same.

@oldzensoul 8 лет назад

TheRevering same here I grew up hunting and fishing but it's almost like u start to see how much we really have damaged the earth and animals in it that I don't want to willingly kill them anymore they're so beautiful to spend time with vs just shooting them

@GIJeaux1 9 лет назад

Looks like a British lock. The VR w/Crown should stand for Queen Victoria (Victoria Regina). If it is, that would make it British Goverment property sometime between 20 June 1837 - 22 January 1901. Maybe it's part of some British to Conferderate lend lease?. Nice find.

@randlerichardson5826 6 лет назад

Double long spring trap I’ve got a few of them I’m planning on usin this fall and winter LORD WILLING AMEN.

@luvmybling22 9 лет назад

Thanks for another fantastic video!! I really like the lock. Congrats!

@PilgrimPimpWagon 9 лет назад

So a few months ago I was hopping around RU-vid and stumbled upon one of your videos. After that one, I spent about 5 hours watching video after video. Always happy to see a new video. I've always been interested in finding civil war relics like you do, but I doubt there was much action up here in Maine. Maybe some colonial stuff. Anyways, GREAT video. Always looking forward to more! Thanks

@3enjoy3 9 лет назад

Another great video. Does the VR marking on the old padlock escutcheon (like that word! I'll say it again - escutcheon) relate to any US military marking or could it be the British royal cypher of the time?

@davidwright8728 9 лет назад

Hey man ! Great video! Real quick question: Do you know of any places in virginia to metal detect for civil war relics? Im 16 and am just getting started metal detecting. Any help would be awesome

@camprandy 9 лет назад

Hey buddy, thanks for the video just watched this one with my step son and wanted to show my support. Have a great day. P.S. I would love to go on a hunt with you one day. That would be awesome. HH. Randy.

@2812ian 9 лет назад

Hi Beau Another cool video, amazing what a variety of history you can find that has either been lost in the river or has been washed in from the surrounding fields. The lock that you unearthed with VR on the key plate, do you think that could signify a British origin? A lot of Victorian "official" or government items were stamped or embossed with VR to show its origin and owner. I think it stands for Victoria Regina, you can still find it on old post boxes and similar stuff. Thanks again for the videos, take care. Ian ps Do you have any shots as a preventative measure, just in case of potential infections you could pick up from dodgy water?

@888SnOwMaN8888 9 лет назад

Hi man Those round pieces you found look like horizontal mill cutters to me haha, maybe because I do a bit of machining, just looks familiar Nice videos by the way, makes me want to do the same!

@randlerichardson5826 6 лет назад

I’d like to have that anchor you could make a living on scrap metal Chigger. It amazes me how much scrap iron you find.

@goodwater2020 9 лет назад

Hey Beau, Huge lock was really cool! Got a ace250 now n want to upgrade. Is AT pro or gold a better choice for me? Read a guy found civil war three ringers n my area so pumped up on water hunting like U.

@FLrebel64 9 лет назад

Hey, when ya pointed out the black sand & the possibility there may be gold in it...wouldn't your metal detector pick up on it?

@Mandy7D7 9 лет назад

Can someone tell me the years in which they made the R.R. locks look like that? The heart shape? I don't have any equipment yet, so I live through these videos but when I do I would so love to find one of those locks.. They are beautiful and so ornate for a task that doesn't need it to be and I really like that.

@WildDigger 9 лет назад

Very good video. Very nice finds. Congrats!

@RustyNail5856 9 лет назад

I enjoyed the video,Congrats on the box plate, Great job Beau

@SamIam-bl4wk 6 лет назад

Nothing neat about an animal trap! They are barbaric, the trapper should stand in one see how they feel wanting to chew their dam leg off to get free, then if successful die from blood loss and/or infection!😕

@Chuck_Norris10 9 лет назад

found a cool telegraph insulator bulb while walking along a railroad today

@mikeadrover5173 9 лет назад

Thanks, love beach trips n plan on retire there n future, so will go with pro. Keep up the great vids! Mike D.

@Plantagenaut 9 лет назад

Beau, thank you for your videos. I have always found them loaded with treasure.

@bobmason5408 9 лет назад

I could not see very well but if the lock has a crown above the VR it could be British and if it is then the VR will stand for Victoria Regina which makes it Victorian

@whoolph 9 лет назад

Nice lock and plate . . . thanks formthe video ;) Rog

@BullDog757 9 лет назад

@heidiwiesman2304 8 лет назад

The round things are cogs

@SnacPacCraz 9 лет назад

I dug a piece of brass in the shape of a medal with the exact VR recently. Above the VR is a crown as the lock has too. Below the VR in a curve are stamped letters-- maybe RATENT. What is below on the lock? I found this in Nova Scotia. A foot from this find I dug a 1799 British half cent. So this VR, I believe stands for Volunteer Regiment of the British army - probably from the war of 1812.

@SnacPacCraz 9 лет назад

***** Thanks , I needed the help on this find. Leeds me in a new direction.

@upstatedigger7361 9 лет назад

Kewl video!! wishing the best in your hunts. What camera you using? GL&GB&HH

@upstatedigger7361 9 лет назад

***** Really nice video quality.

@Peter.w 9 лет назад

Nice Finds again Beau! That plate was a hold your breath moment at first!! Have a question though.. what is the whirring noise when you go underwater? Is it feedback from the camera or detector??

@Peter.w 9 лет назад

Ok thanks Beau!

@peteragius4986 9 лет назад

Hi Beau, another great video. Just to let you know the VR with the crown on the padlock you found I'm pretty sure stands for Victoria Regina & would of been manufactured in Britain. I look forward to your next video. Cheers Pete

@peteragius4986 9 лет назад

***** You are welcome, thanks for the videos. The lock was made between 1837 to 1901 in the reign of queen Victoria. The design would of been patented at the patent office over here. The patent number would give you the date the design was first manufactured. Cheers Pete

@slicknick332 9 лет назад

Great video as always, Beau! :D I have a question; there are a lot of railroads and tracks nearby me, would I be able to look for old unwanted railroad spikes nearby without getting into trouble? If not, I have some close friends who have railroad tracks running behind their house whom I could probably ask to look around... Cheers!

@slicknick332 9 лет назад

I see! Ah well, I guess I'll just have to find some good river spots with railroad relics in them, then! :D Thank you for the reply, and happy hunting!
