  • She said yes! I went door knocking in an area rich with history and scored a metal detecting permission I've really been wanting to explore. I found loads of abandoned treasures including old coins, silver, civil war relics and more! This was one of my best hunts of 2018 for sure. :)

    FYI: The audio cuts out at 13:34 for a minute because the music I used was ad supported by the creator (meaning the creator of the music received all the ad revenue for my video) So I removed the audio for about a minute. There was a mix-up with the background music. I though it was copyright free, but turns out it was royalty free. (Meaning you still have to buy a one time use license) I just let it go, because it was a great addition to the commentary, so the music creator probably made a few hundred dollars off the video over the last 500 days or so. But then the videos views rapidly started to spike, so naturally I tried to purchase a once time license for the music. But since I published the video, the copyright to the music appears to have been sold, and I was unable to purchase the license from the original owner to keep the music in my video. So in stead of paying about $20 for a license, I had to cut the audio, so the new owner of the music didn't receive ALL my future ad revenue. I hated to do this. But CZcams is crazy sometimes. =/ The system is flawed, one minute of music that I can't get the license for, and they would have received ALL the revenue from this nearly hour long video that took me days to make. So the only other option was to cut the audio and mess up the video.

    I was relic hunting in Arizona years ago near an old miners barracks; sitting on a boulder in the valley below, I found an intact ink bottle that reminds me of your Noxema bottle. Every time I see it, I think of a miner writing his wife about 90 years ago, running out of ink and chucking the empty bottle down the hill. Gives me chills :). Great finds, thanks for sharing!

    The lead item you found @ 10:00, is actually lead with a steel end upon which the letter “F” has been ground out. It is one of a typeset set. It is by using these that books and newspapers were printed. To print each page, each of these individual letters and symbols would be arranged, side by side, above and below each other, until a page of them are ready to print. The typeset page is inked, a paper is pressed onto it, ink & repeat.

    I wish these videos would have been available while my mom was still alive. She would have loved them and she could have told you a lot of these things were. They ran a antique/second hand store for many years. She was born in 1918 so she would have maybe even used a lot of the items you find. And I used to luse Noxema back in my teen years. I saw the video and the smell came to the surface from way back when.

    You said it correctly Koe-tee, for Coty. I have used their powder for over thirty years. Once, my dad happened to be next to me when I was applying my powder and when he saw the round powder container he said "my mom used that powder when I was little". The loose powder has a distinct design on the box. The compact you found would be for something pressed and looks to be from the 1930's -1940's because of the art deco design. This was a fun video.

    I'm 75. Grew up on a farm in Oregon. 6 kids. Went through a lot of Noxema every summer. Strong minty smell. And some kind of odd smell I now know was eucalyptus. Sunburns mostly. Rashes, poison ivy, bug bites etc. Very soothing. Mom and older sister washed their faces sometimes. How funny you didn't even recognize the name! Came in a blue jar. Much bigger of course. That little jar wouldn't have lasted us one weekend at the beach! 😄

    COTY - very popular inexpencive makeup brand. The reason you might often find cosmetic compacts etc is that when they are almost empty they give them to their little girls to play dress-up with. They carry them in their play purses, taking them outside to play on the lawn. How sweet.

    I have a suggestion as to why you are finding more near the trees, it's where people sit, instead of sitting out in the middle of the grass they sit under a tree.
    That Letterpress Primary Leading looks like it's the size for the table top letter press, not a large mechanical one, good for making business cards one at a time, or a wedding invite.
    Good finds.

    You folks in the eastern and southern US are so lucky to be able to use such a hobby to find parts of history. On the west coast you could metal detect for 20 years and not find anything older than 1880, and certainly not coins as trading was the thing until the early 1900s.

    As people in the channel have already said here commented, I would also rate the lead things as letters /patterns.

    So our archaeologist doesn't want to see any coins before 1840... the oldest silver coin was from 1316-1322 Gros Tournois, otherwise some finds from the early Bronze Age, about 3,500 years old.

I remember my grandmother had an old one from the 1950's (I was around 5 when I saw it in 1965) that she still kept cold cream in it as she didn't use it much. She gave it to me when it was empty.

V.M.I. is not only where Stonewall Jackson taught but also the school where his fellow teacher and friend, John McCausland (Gen. "Tiger John" McCausland) also taught. McCausland was also a (West) Virginian. I am related to Jackson and I had relatives who served under McCausland when he took over Gen. Albert G. Jenkins Brigade of Virginia Cavalry after Jenkins was wounded at the battle of Cloyd's Mountain, Virginia in 1864. My book, Campaigning with the 17th Virginia Cavalry gives several firsthand accounts of Gen. "Black Dave" Hunter burning V.M.I. - Glad you found the button and I hope that you give it a very special place of honor in your Civil War collection! H.H. & Merry Christmas!

    the lead rectangle pieces are for newspaper printing! I think they're called " printer's blocks " each one of them would be a letter or a number or a symbol or I pointed finger.... The letter or number would be on the long end of the square they were stored and drawers a lot of people like to hang on their walls printers box drawers

      That's what they were. I operated old Kluge and Heidelberg presses and I recognized them on the very first one that he found. If there was a school there they might of had a small press to print a school news paper or forms or letterhead & envelopes

    Great video JD, You are looking so much better than you did. I love the watch fob and the Noxema bottle my Mom used it when I was a kid and I am still using it today, it is really good stuff.

    Coty is the name of the compact company. They made all sorts of body powder, face powder, etc. In Baltimore, MD we actually still or I should say now have a Copy Company here. They are where the Nozema company used to be. Nice finds!

    Your videos are awesome, you give solid information about what you find on your digs and seem down to earth!! Looked up metal detecting for some time because it’s a hobby of mine as well. I live here in Florida so I cannot wait to hit the beaches haven’t made it there yet but I’m super anxious and excited to see what I find on what we call the “treasure coast”... Great finds this video for sure👌

    My mother used noxema as a makeup remover. That piece of lead triangle looks like a letter insert for an old printer. Always double check your digs. Great video.

    • @brianlebrun2382
      @brianlebrun2382 Před 4 lety +1

      @@XJonAye It's actually a piece of lead type that would be hand set into a form that would be locked up and put into a letterpress. You can see the character on the top and there was a groove on the side to tell the typesetter that each piece was facing the right direction. I used to do it. Very cool find.
