  • I found treasure metal detecting around an old house built during the mid 1700's. I searched the dirt basement, around the lawn, and in the pasture. I found lots of old coins and relics including a HUGE piece of silver!

    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.

      That's a life goal right there. I'd for sure want the exterior as close to the original as possible, but the inside would be top of the line.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    • @JDsVarietyChannel
      @JDsVarietyChannel  Před 6 lety +1

      Maybe some day we can give it another whirl. It appears to have been detected in the past too as the fields are rather quiet. We were there all day trying our best to find a colonial coin, but only some colonial buttons popped up. Didn't even put a dent in the trash pit however. Who knows what's down there. I was just happy to pull that silver piece out. Seems like the yard had fill dirt added sometime around the 1950's when the driveway was added. Thus the newer wheat pennies and WW2 relics.

    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 .

    • @courtneesdad

    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.

    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.

  • @Bluewolfdude
    @Bluewolfdude Před 4 lety

    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.
