The bullet is a military practice round. It was used to practice loading, dry firing, and cycling the rifle action. Probably a 1903 Springfield. Holes and grooves were to make sure you weren't "playing" with live ammunition. Good video!!!

A German colonial tradition was to bury a jar with coins in the East, West, North and south directions around the house. Like the horse shoe over the door it was suppose to bring good luck.

Brilliant job really injoyed lots keep up the good work allways a 👍 from me

Pretty cool finds!

That's really good soil! Perfect for planting.

Very nice and well done there ! Congrats on the finds too :) ATB - David

The clickbait 👍🏻😆….for an empty jar. Well done.

Hi DM. Great video and hunt's 👍. Congrats on all the relics. Im amazing at all the old home sites that have probably never been hunted. Around here in Michigan, it's almost impossible to find virgin ground to hunt. Please give buddy Gunner a kind petting for me . Hes so cool 😎. Thank you for letting me tag along. Luv the big sky country, so beautiful there. . As always super enjoyed your video buddy. Take care and stay well. Gregg😃

When you find rings, make sure to screen the hole for a precious stone that may have dropped off the setting

94k views on this was incredible. Just stumbled on your channel. I’m enjoying it.

good hunt, keep swinging.

I think the horseshoe of rocks is runoff protection of some sort

Very nice

That is such a beautiful place to me. I think your wife is right about the stones!

That mountain cellarhole was in such a gorgeous spot! I agree, that looked like an animal pen to me. You wound up with lots of awesome finds!❤

That meat cleaver is pretty cool you can clean that up and keep on using it still I bet it's high carbon steel which is really really good. Its probably stamped out of an old mill saw blade.

Im guessin your in the new england area because of rock walls and cellar holes some cool finds there really liked that lil jar

what wonderful countryside ,i live on the Romney Marsh in Kent which is as flat as it gets !do you have to get permits to detect ?check out the magpie mudlarks in England think you will enjoy.

The rectangular brass find with crosshatching looks like a plate for striking matches possibly attached to a bar. Just a tip: brass items safe in the ground for over 100 years do not appreciate being smashed against a steel trowel 10 seconds after coming out of the ground!

Beautiful country brother 👍👍❤️

I like your channel is the best in the world 🌎🌎

The stones look like a European style sheep pen.

Leave that jar alone. The moon shine has yet to age. LOL

Great hunt. Lots of items, and some gorgeous country. Of course living in Florida we don't have your elevations, but wondered if the horseshoe stone burm was something to divert water coming down the ridge? Most of the old homes down here were up on stone pilings. Love the Vaseline jar. It was great to see Gunner with his stick, he found a treasure also. He was smart enough to get into the shade most of the time. Thanks for posting and letting us see the beautiful area you live in.

Horseshoe wall could have been an old cemetery.

Can’t bust em is Lee Jeans

Field stones gathered to build some structure that never got completed , just a pipe dream gone with the wind .... ?? !

Been hunting northern Michigan for 2 weeks now. A few artifacts, 1916 and 17 Buffalo nickels and a 64D quarter that looks like it was dropped yesterday

The upper small wall was packed with dung and mud, the dung has bedding straw and with a little mud water would not wash it out during the season. He did this to stop water from flooding his root cellar

'55 was 1st year of the T bird.

Maybe was to deflect water runoff from the hill around something

Wow, you are right, the scenery is gorgeous! What state is this area in? Are you detecting on private land? I live in New England and I grew up in a town established in 1647. And settlers were living here before it was established. (So, there were many, old coins, and very old bottles that we brought here from all over Europe. My dad found old Spanish Reals as well as silver coins from England, Germany, and Italy, tons of big copper coins from England, and state coppers from the New England area. My dad called the silver Spanish coins he found that were dated between 1732 to 1773 Calumnarios. I guess that was what they were called during those dates, but I just called them Spanish silver or Reals). So, as a kid of 10yrs old, I started going bottle digging with my older brother and his friend Matt. They both were avid diggers and bottle collectors. They sparked my love for it and even to this day, I collect pieces of pretty China for crafts projects and to sell. I have always kept metal pieces and copper, brass, and bronze objects, scraps, and wire. My dad also taught me how to weld and I still do today at 61. That was what he did for a living. I have used some of those metal objects in projects I have made for my home and art pieces I have sold as well as projects for my woodworking shop. Much of the iron I dug up that was too thick in rust to be cleaned and used, I sell for scrap whenever I get a couple of 5-gallon buckets full. When I turned 11, my dad bought himself a Radio Shack metal detector. He taught me how to use it and we took turns detecting that first year, and let me tell you, those old, detectors were fairly sensitive and it took me a while to be able to distinguish between the sounds as to what was silver, gold, aluminum, and iron. The machine was all steel and thick aluminum and was kinda heavy for a young girl. It was nothing like today's detectors which are made of thin aluminum and plastic. They tell you what it is and even how deep the target is. My dad was a very smart, clever man and he took the shoulder strap from an old guitar and attached it to the detector so the strap relieved some of that weight for me. Once he was sure I could use one and really liked detecting, he bought me one for my 12th birthday and it was a hobby we shared most of my life. Even after I went out on my own, we still had regular meetups. Eventually, when my dad was in his later 70s he gave up the hobby due to health reasons. I still called him or went over after a day of detecting to tell him what I found and described the area I was in. I have traveled all of New England, and many other areas of the country over the years digging for minerals and crystals along with detecting and bottle digging. My dad always looked forward to my return so I could show him everything I found. I carried out every find, be it junk, like can slaw, or old pieces of iron with me. It is a practice he taught me as well as how to dig a hole and cover it up like I had never been there. Especially on beaches. There is nothing that annoys me more than a detectorist who leaves holes all over a beach. Someone can walk into one and break an ankle that way, and it is just plain bad for the other detectorists. We have been turned away from areas because of others leaving their holes open. You have to respect others property. They are kind enough to allow us access to their property, so we should respect them. Just saying to any newbies out there.

Some twenty or so years ago a couple in California found two large mason jars on their property filled with gold coins, some of them extremely unusual and made the discovery known. The Federal government tried to seize the entire lot from them claiming that it was the proceeds of a robbery that had taken place somewhere in 1858. It is my understanding that the claim failed although they were hit with a substantial tax around fifty percent. Yes, such a find is very nice and we celebrate the occasion. But given the piratical attitude of the thieves in city hall, the state capital, and Washington DC, my suggestion next time is to enjoy your find but keep the news to yourself.

Colorado Mountains 😮

Woo woo 1k.

He didn't find a butcher knife he found a meat cleaver.

Everything eventually gets thrown away. Thus dumps are the places to detect.

The pile of rocks might be from a garden look under the rocks

Iwill take dirty money any day, New Sub.

Stone walls I can help you out with that and myself didn't know either I move to Massachusetts from Western North Carolina and i started to watch a UKposts in area he does something as you .But anyway, in what he saids stone walls were used to mark off land areas other word's that was there land from another land owner, and for crops and to keep live stock in place

I’m saying outdoor kitchen, wind breaker.

German silver is nickle

Meat Cleaver

There goes 14 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Don't spend all the money you get for that stuff in one place.

Is any of that stuff worth anything? Nah
