Hey Ron what gloves do you prefer to use while digging ?
@RonSwensonRelicAdventures15 күн бұрын
Most of the time they are just the cheap Walmart Hyper Tough nitrile dipped gloves. Think you get 3 par for $5 or something like that. They actually do pretty good and I can wash them a couple times. I do have a heavier pair of Milwaukee dipped gloves' from home depot when it is a bit colder out. I have also used the WElls Lamont nitrile dipped. I dont go expensive as the finder usually wear out pretty quickly and i can just toss the cheap ones and put on a new pair.

It's 5:52pm July 31,2024. Just amazing,all those confederate buttons. Usually all I see in videos are the Union eagles. That's a rare spot, a Hot spot . Way to go!😮

Hey Marv- I appreciate you dropping in on that video and glad you enjoyed it! That was a great site. Houses going up soon. We had a great time and I think close to 200 confederate buttons came out of there!! Maybe more. We only got about a week of the prime time and then our host kinda pulled the invitation. We have been back since and dug a few more!! Thank you for taking the time to post a comment!

I hate real estate development and everything that goes along with it. All those relics and countryside concreted over forever. Animals losing habitat. Ronnie Van Zant wrote a song about that. Sorry to ramble about it. Anyway, love what you all are doing. From Indiana good luck

I hear you on that!! Tons of good stuff lost forever with no chance of recovery!! First, Ronnie has a great name but was a excellent song writer and performer If you don't' love Skynyrd something wrong with ya!! 😀 Never saw Ronnie live but have caught the modern Skynyrd a couple times!!

Very nice Hunt or Hunts there Ron and Cameron. Cameron Congrats on your first US Bit Boss excellent find. Love the General Service Buttons. Ron the Chinese Coins and Pickaxe Congrats. You sure your not back in California. I love finding those. Did the Pickaxe have a makers name on it. Ive found a couple here with a makers name. Pretty Cool. The Suspender Piece very ornate and I love the Buckles you found. Congrats on the big General Service Button and 1946 Silver Rosie. Theres a little time frame there. Great finds. And thank you for showing the belt adjuster. I've found something like that before and never knew what I found. Take Care Ron and Cameron. Looking forward to your next video
