TREASURE FOUND! Metal Detecting Dirt Basement Under Abandoned 1700's House. WOW! | JD's Variety 

Thanks Vic for the invite to this amazing property! :)

Thats one of those houses that I see and say to myself "If I won the lottery and money was no object, I'd rebuild/renovate from top to bottom and use as much reclaimed beams, etc - would be so sweet if done properly.

3 Merry Widows 😂😂😂😂😂 At least someone was being safe...

Or a hairbrush handle. A BEAUT ! This style ran well into the 20's and should have markings along the seam. The one I found in three separate pieces, still had wooden bristle holder in the head. Careful when cleaning these are NOT strongly joined. Heaviest piece of silver I have dug so far.

It's too bad you couldn't have gotten to go inside that old house. I would have loved to see inside. Great video.

That little piece of lead you found in the basement is part of what I believe to be an old shipping container seal. They used them much like on a power meter box on the outside of a house to ensure someone hasn't tampered with the contents

Treasures are everywhere

Great finds! I love that hat badge. Found one just like it. That house was really cool looking. Even in its dilapidated condition.

I watch you a good bit. I don't know your age but you strike me as a very smart young man. I am 68 yrs old and just started digging. Really enjoy it and watching your videos

Did you use a detector on the walls of the basement in case they had a hiding place?

great finds , and very good knowledge of history you have . wish you good luck from germany . i also detecting since 20 years . thank you very much for youre videos , mike

Your amazing JD

i always enjoy your videos thank u for putting the time into making them

Awesome footage!! Thank you

Beautiful sky line, nice place to search and cool relics you found!

Great finds! Yes, it looks like an acorn to me also.

It hurts my soul watching you rub those coins with all that dirt...

When you are in the basement of the house that door behind you open by itself lol

That saw tooth thing on the floor is a sickle bar from a hay mower ,the peice you picked up with the rings on the end was a horse bridal mouth bit . The military item looks like a hat flash for an Officers hat .

You remind me of my dad that's what he did I don't even know if they had detectors back then in the 50s early 50s because he found all kinds of stuff I miss him so much he died at 52 years old 9 I was just 29 and I'm 16 now I miss him dearly but he really enjoyed going out finding things and he also was interested in rocks and would shine rocks and who just the wonderful man I really miss my dad dearly

Your awesome man I just got my first metal detecter please keep making videos love em

love the old finds, great video thanks :)

Wow! very cool, im sure that's a heck of a lot of fun, good job on video.

4:27 , that is a "slave tag" ,, easily the most valuable item found.

I am a fan of you I came out Switzerland.Youre finds are great! I'm 13 years old.

I'd love to check a property like that. A great video.

so glad to see you on an old permission! Good luck friend!

Awesome hand mirror handle and always great finding the wheaties and the shield with eagle is so awesome! Say hi too Vic Tucker for me.

Acorn shell casing was a .22 cal blank...I recall they were sold in tins during 1960's early 70's...

That mirror handle is awesome ,cool design on it

Wow that is pretty amazing

24:30 Why would anyone be afraid to tell his audience he found an aluminum MERRY WIDOWS condom case from the 1920s or '30s?? How very odd.

Epic permission, I think you only tickled slightly. I think you have to go back there, a really strong gut feeling for me. Loved what you found, really well done video. I think one of your best. Thanks for sharing your experience and for bringing me along.

Great video! You definitely found a trash pit/bottle dump in that cellar hole. There’s a 1700’s abandoned colonial I go to often. I’m definitely going to persevere next time and see if I find any neat relics in that cellar hole.. or at the least some intact bottles.

I found the exact same Cap Pin 20:30 (Army Officer in WWII) metal detecting my backyard last week. Found with a Bounty Hunter Tracker IV.

Oh my God that's amazing

Lovely!!

Really like the non-stop action very well put together. Like &sub, keep up the good work.

Cool finds and yes its an acorn haha i have dug one or two myself!

That shell casing with the acorn is a .22 caliber BB cap. Shot a round ball out of .22 Cal. gun very quiet but not very powerful. Shot many of those as a kid in early 60's.

JD, beautiful beginning.

This is so cool!

The Merry Widows thing holds condoms 😂

Thanks! That was fun! I think you should have that silver mirror handle cleaned polished and made into a pendant for a necklace. Sweet it is..

Good job kido and yes that is an acorn. Great finds.

Great video,.... Screen the basement. the little casing with the acorn on it is a CB cap. Also its German made,.....usually propel a lead bb 22 caliber. They may have made musket caps too,.......The might still sell them.

Enjoyed watching great video

Some neat finds there my friend

What settings do you use on your T2? Just starting and would like some advice on settings if possible.

That sky was certainly worth capturing on video!

24:39 thats a piece of a metal corset busk, youd put the loops over the pins on the other side to close the corset

The stuff that you found was really interesting. I'd love to have a peak into that old building though.

awesome finds JD mate 👍...shame about the mirror handle being broken that would he been a mega find complete ..still cool chunk of silver though

Fun hunt JD!

What an awesome property to hunt! Sweet finds!

That house is cooool.

11:36 looks to me alike a light switch cover for a lever type lightswitch

realy cool finds

We scoured that same basement in the se corner as legend said. Rumors said there was $ 254,000 buried in lead cans but there wasn’t nearly that much when we completed our dig

The thing you called landscaping border was the blade off a sickle mower.

Definitely an acorn. Cool

Good job, brother. Keep up the good work. Yeah, I think it is an acorn.✌💞🏇🏇🏇

that little piece of lead is from an old roofing nail. It was on the head and sealed the hole the nail made in a tin roof

Good video. That little "Acorn" cartridge is a .22 cal cartridge that I used to shoot flower pots with a very long time ago.Very low power .I dont think they make em any more but it was cool to see on your vid.

Great video bud

The Acorn shell was a fired blank. They were used in starter's pistols and stage props.

Nick appreciates it.

The item at 24:40 is part of the front closure of a corset.

Really well done intro!

Impresionante vídeo amigo felicitaciones por los allacgos gracias por compartir un abrazo buenos días 👏👏👏👌👍👌

American metal detecting videos: -Wow! A 1956 penny! European metal detecting videos: -Just another hammered silver from the 1600's mehhh

Wow great hunt real showcase of a great hobby 👍 new sub here GL&HH steve 🇬🇧

That tag with the banner name and number looks identical to my fathers -he was a coal miner .They hung it on a hook when they checked in for their shift. If it was unclaimed after the shift was over, a search was started for the missing miner That check number was also used as their employee number in payroll

Somebody else probably left this info (too many to read), but the Rimfire Shell with the Acorn Headstamp, was a high quality German Cartridge, made by: Rheinisch Westfalischen Sprengstoff (RWS) (now: Dynamit Nobel)!

that eagle is a great find. well the hole video is great.

No treasure here, just some old coins.

The small case with the acorn is a German made RWS CB cap, small low power .22 cartridge, also the item you discarded in the basement was a mouth bit for a horse. Well done.

1330 isahorse bridle bot thingy. Nice hunt and vid Jd. Oops already I’d. Oh well

really great. subscribed lg the SondelBrothers

You scared me again climbing up on those bricks! But the location is great. Very interesting building.

Very nice

I recognize the exit for Seven Mile Ford in Smyth County, Virginia 👍🏼

TREASURE!!!!!!!!

Unforntunatly Metal detecting and digging Colonial, Fedral and Empire period Coins and artifact can be" nearly" impossible if you live in the Minneapolis, Minnesota metro area like I do.I've always wanted to detect and dig much older sites and farm fields in the eastern and southern Atlantic seaboard States like I see on your/ these great videos,and everything east of the Appalations ,BUT NOT ALL' is lost up here for me in the BoId North of Minnesota.I found my finds of a Life Time so far in 1994'95 and 1996 in the way of the Colonial, Fedral and Empire period artifacts kind and coins using my old USA made Bounty Hunter.Finding my first finds of silver washed pewter buttons/ all early American military with 13 stars,flat with soderd loop/circle shank in one small area along with round unfired lead musket balls and.grape shot all by chance during Improvements and new paths to Minnihaha falls Park a very OLD part of Minneapolis and. Ancient and sacred to the Native Americans,the falls of Minnehaha is a famous park and area which I so happened to live across from and 4 miles from Fort Snelling of 1820 and 2 miles from untouched Camp Cold Water of 1819 that was unseen and untouched in 1996 hidden behind fences and closed down opd Fedral building.This place is a natural spring that Coronal Snelling with a large military force of 500 + Men Officers there Wives childrenSkilled labour tools food goods spent the winter 1819 at Camp Cold Water that Minnesota in the 1890s built a beautiful memorial marking the spot were brave early Americans spent a winter outside in tents lean twos and stood against the British Army kept them from trying to control the Mississippi its Native psople and fur trade in a hostile dangerous wilder Ness all but forgotten and hidden away out of sight and off limits to none Fedral employment yup that's us lol.Well you guys get the idea that my house waz in between all this. Awesome history of the earliest Anglo near Colonial period presencel And the beautiful Indian Princess Hiawatha the one Longfellow wrote about, Minnehaha falls that year were a gold mine and Fort Snelling artifacts ECT by having a knowledge and love of history and Early Coins and artifacts believe it or not this Boy got a piece of New England Colonial plus bling rite here in Mpls outside my front door unbelievable

That acorn shell casing is a .22 tear gas cartridge typically fired from a .22 blank gun or a dedicated gas gun. My mother used to carry one. Most likely from the 60's or 70's.

beautiful sunset

The short shell casing is from a starter pistol and is a blank used in athletic events. The small lead piece may be from an old roofing nail with a lead top over the steel to stop leaks.

20:43 is a military hat badge from a formal uniform. Not sure what year but easy to look up with details showing

Than Banner 563 tag looks to be about the early to mid 1800's. I believe they where Slave tags back then, I googled it & didnt find the shape you have, they came in a diamond shape or a square with point at the top, That was more or less what I found on it except perhaps a reference to manufacturing tags. Who knows :)

This stuff is so ancient but wait...I was alive in the 50's. :)

Great video

I liked the video but it always makes me cringe when people grind their fingers over old coins with sand on them potentially hurting the value. But it’s your coin on your dig. You found some really cool stuff! Thanks for the video. Good Hunting!

I really enjoyed your video...

the ammo w/ the acorn on it is made by dynamit nobel in germany in 22 cal. it is made for close in pest control costs about 30. bucks for a tin of 100 rounds -it is very quiet as it is only powered by a primer

The piece you tossed in the basement was a horse bit. And I see the acorn too.

When you found that key, my mind went straight to Maniac Mansion.

Definitely an acorn, you're not just seeing things lol..by the way awesome videos man..watched tons already..like your approach and style on a dig.. maybe we can detect one day

Hay man love your videos the peace of lead comes from a lead head roofing nail

From the 1890s that I live in so I would have found coins just laying on the ground but their recent ones so I wonder what could be under the ground

I literally was like oh a doorbell...hmmm maybe not...then you echoed what I said almost exactly..love being on the same page! Good finds, that rusty thing is a horse bit, and that jaw bone is probably from wild scavenger, raccoon most likely
