- In this video we return to the site of a ruined 1888 mansion that we first visited way back in 2012 - so this is kind of a 10th Anniversary 'Special'. Overly long and with lots of walking and talking punctuated by a few finds, we still think it was worth revisiting a spot where we had swung our trusty Garrett GTI-2500 all those years back. Please enjoy the video and feel free to like, comment and subscribe to our channel. Happy Fossicking! Warren and Colleen.
Enjoyed watching, thank you Warren 👌👍

G'day Warren, Very nice video of times gone by & an interesting part of our history. The flat oblong brass plate with the two screw holes & oblong slots is from a draw or small door,
they were flush recessed into the timber & one took the key lock slide while the other took the tapered slide that was actioned when you turned the handle. If you imagine an old
doors striker plate then that is what you have except smaller.
Happy Fossicking Mate, Steve.
Thanks for watching and the great info on the drawer striker Steve, it did look familiar but I couldn't place it! Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.
hey mate i first got interested in metal detecting from watching a vid on youtube it was military relic hunting ww2 raaf airfield cape york and the odd thing is i live 10 min away from castle hill as we call it and still love this hobby last week i took my friends 9year old to a local park and hid coins in the bark and we set a timer to see who could find the coin in the shortest time thanks warren you did this
Thanks for watching and commenting Sandy - much appreciated, yes it is a great family hobby! Happy Fossicking! Warren.
The brass and opal/glass object with the screw thread could be the front of a collar stud. The screw thread is for the backing to screw on to.
Thanks for your comment and the ID on the collar stud Scott - Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.
Well Done Warren. A very interesting video. Grand old house bites the dust. How sad, and how normal for real-estate agents interested in building on a burning coal mine. They may have succeeded a couple of decades ago. interesting finds.
Thanks for your comment - yes would have been no surprise really if a subdivision had been built on a burning coal mine LOL. All the best and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Good old Brynhyfryd. Found a few antiques there metal detecting. Such a shame they undermined that beautiful mansion. It even had a working lift.
I remember the first video, can't believe it was that long ago! Nice revisit.
Thanks for watching and hanging around all those years LOL - Happy Fossicking! Warren.
@16.44 looks like a lock keep from a desk draw or writing bureau.
Thanks for watching and for the info on the lock keep Brian - Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.
Really cool.

Honolulu has two Royal palaces. One was built for Kamehameha V in the 1870s, Aliiolani Hale. On completion, he gave it to the nation as a government building. Now it is the Judiciary building. King Kalakaua built 'Iolani Palace in the mid 1880s and it was occupied until the Kingdom's overthrow in Jan. 1893. It is "American Florentine " or "Haunted house" style. One of these was designed by an Australian architect. 'Iolani Palace was the seat of the Territory then State government untill the mid 1960s. It was heavily restored in the '60s &'70s. A couple of years ago someone broke one of the vintage etched glass panes for no particular reason. Centralia, Pennsylvania is the site of an infamous American coal seam fire. Great old place, now gone. Great video! Have been looking about in a ghost town sort of area here, before the developers wreck it all. Land tenure in Hawaii's been a mess since the 1840s when they made an effort to establish Western land tenure here. A majority of native Hawaiians were dispossessed by Asians, whites and other Hawaiians.
Thanks for your comment Tom - always enjoy your information on Hawaii - we will have to get over there some day! Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.
Very nice
Thanks for watching and commenting and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
That decorative piece you found at the end could be part of a ceiling rose.
Thank you for your comment Cathy, and the info on the decorative tin find - all the very best and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Nice to see the name of the mansion was Brynhyfrd, that's a suburb in my old town in Wales, U.K. Brought back a few old memories!
Thanks for your comment Roger - much appreciated! Happy Fossicking! Warren.
OK, Warren - spill the beans! The opening tune, I HAVE to know who, what & where! Looks like this is going to be a great episode. Looks like a sad property - hate to see these old places fall into rack & ruin...
Thanks for the comment and viewing - the opening music is 'Intrigue' by Marianne Faithfull (1981 single). All the best and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
That was really great. I enjoyed all the history and the pictures. I remember when you were there before. It is so nice to see it all again. Thank you so much for having us along. Cheers from Washington State!
Thanks for commenting David and supporting our channel all these years mate - Happy Fossicking! Warren.
I see Marianne Faithful gets the credit - the next video obliterates, but should be able to track it down. Yes, interesting fossick, thanks, Warren, Happy New Year to you both!
Kudos Warren for this great historical sortie. I don't recall if I ever watched the first video from 2012, but will definitely do so. This is my favorite type of content that you do my friend. Please keep doing more. Many thanks!
Thank you for your comment Terry - Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.
Fun times !
Thanks for watching and commenting! Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Excellent video ! Congratulation for all your finds ! Good luck and best wishes on your next hunt ! You know it too bad they couldn`t save that place. It was a beautiful place back in it day. It would have been a wonderful tourist attraction !
Thanks for your comment Yulelah - yes it would have been a magnificent attraction for the local area - nothing left now unfortunately - all the best mate and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Oh and there is a property right next to the old dairy house, and the guy there dumps a lot of his junk in the Brynhyfryd area. A total disrespectful tool. That rubbish next to the wall is an example. Council doesn't care
Thanks for commenting, yes the place needs a clean up I didn't know it was private property on that side - all the best and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
The 1888 mansion was one of the first videos I had watched of yours time flys love the history and the story that goes with it awesome work warren. Hope to catch up with you again next time when your in south Australia at the Palmer rockarama metal detecting comp 2024
Thanks for commenting and watching our videos all these years Troy, would be great to catch up in S.A. again mate - Happy Fossicking! Warren.
That shell tin looking piece you found may well have been part of a sugar bowl or butter plate. They were common in Victorian era settings.
I love that you can still come back to this place and find things.
Thanks for your comment and info on the shell tin Mic - much appreciated - all the best and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
It's a great spot, like you say not much left, but amazing story of undermining your mansion & the burning world of coal below you, talk about sinking into the pit of fire!
Place was cursed!👹😱
😂🤔🤣👍🤠✌🇦🇺
Thanks for commenting - all the best and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
I love this history video, and the finds are great! That tableware handle and bowl, wonderful! Detecting old sites like this is always such a thrill. There's history in every little find! I'm going now to watch the first video czcams.com/video/6ZzohGI9xtA/video.html Cheers, Warren 😊
Thanks for your comment WWG - I do love the history of sites like this and a lot of these old places are just long forgotten - all the best and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
@@NQExplorers As soon as the winter storms move out, I'll be out fossicking! Just sent my AT Pro & AT Max back to Garretts for some tuning up while the weather is bad, that way I'll be all ready when it warms up!
