Aaah thank you my sensei. All the best to you in the New Year Steve.

Good morning Matt, here we are the last hunt of 2023 for Under The Surface. Nice to see your family and a family of seals there to greet you. Interesting things scattered about for sure. Wishing you and everyone a Happy, blessed New Year in 2024. Joyce ❤️🙏🇺🇸

[@underthesurface4435]

Thanks Joyce!!!, best of health to you in the New Year!

Good morning Matt! What a great way to round out the year of treasure hunting Under the Surface with a family outing! You were rewarded with the group of seals waiting your arrival!! They displayed a reminder of how fragile our natural environment is. I’m sure they were delighted in your actions of documenting the area’s history as well as removing pure trash! Stay well and warm out there! Wonderful seeing one of Dad’s masterpieces! ~ Karin

[@underthesurface4435]

Thank you Karin, all the best to you in the new year.

Hello from your neighbor in Delaware! Nice video this week. You can't NOT find little treasures while on your excursions. This has been a fantastic year watching you and your brother out on adventures. Can't wait to see the year-end results of the ring & coin counts between you and Paul . Cheers to you and your families for the coming New Year! May God bless you with both health, wealth, and prosperity! 🎉

[@underthesurface4435]

Thanks so much my Delawarian Neighbor! It was a great year! Thanks for chillin with us!

[@susancousins8766]

Great week long lark Matt! You found many different things this time. The one beach I couldn’t believe all of the wood that was everywhere. The silver ring was a beauty. I hope you and your family enjoyed your New Year 😊 stay safe and healthy always ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

[@underthesurface4435]

Thanks Susan!!

[@amberglavin6051]

I hope you had a Merry Christmas. Absolutely love the jet black mourning button, mini 50’s coke bottle, the horse (amazing) and the silver ring with what look like peridot stones (totally jealous!). And I have to say I laughed out loud at your comment on the insulator… we were all thinking it! 😂 Have a Happy New Year! I hope your dad and family are all doing well. All the best in 2024.

[@underthesurface4435]

Sure did! Thanks my friend and thanks for appreciating the subtle humor, lol

[@sharimullinax3206]

Love the coke bottle, the ring and the 'cobra' hood. The marble is beautiful. The black button is made out of glass and was used for mourning. Happy New Year to you and yours. The final pic is gorgeous. Good job to you dad.

[@underthesurface4435]

Thanks Shari and great info! Happy New Year!

[@joanneash3305]

Helllooo from Iooowwwaaa, thank you for the video, I’ve had a sad week and your video is exactly what I needed. That ring was pretty. Loved seeing your family enjoy themselves. Not too many dads tell their kids let’s go checkout the mud, 😂😂. Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@underthesurface4435]

Yooooo, ioooowaa!!, sorry to hear about your sad week, glad I could help in some small way, Happy New Year my friend.

You just earned a subscriber from Turkey, keep going man, good finds.

[@underthesurface4435]

Aaaah !!, thanks so much, I’m honored.

[@yvonnepagan9912]

Hi Matt, Happy 2024 (tomorrow) to you too. I love seeing what you’ve fossicked out of the goop. You seem to get to so many places. That storm erosion of the beach must be of great concern to the councils over there, and to the home owners nearby too. Those strange wooden and metallic items at the beginning of you video looked like ballistrading from some kind of large watercraft, maybe a paddle wheel steamer or the like. I notice when you take the family out your eyes drop straight to the ground. Once a fossicker, always a fossicker! But, I’d be doing it too if I had the chance to as well. I’m glad you love it so much, and you clean up the beach as you go, which is such a giving thing to do. That second ring you found had peridots in it. That was a very nice find. I try to imagine the person who lost it all those years ago and how upset they would have been, poor loves! But, I always maintain….don’t wear anything valuable to the beach, for obvious reasons. Their loss is your gain. Thanks for sharing your little adventures with us❤️🦘🇦🇺

[@underthesurface4435]

Wonderfully written, wonderfully said. Thanks so much Yvonne. Best of health to you in 2024!!!

[@lyneece1956]

[@underthesurface4435]

That could be, thanks ! Happy New Year and your very welcome.

[@dorisbotts6414]

Nice way to wound down the year. Finding little treasures and a little outing with the family. Nice to see the seals. Love your dads painting to top it off. May you and your family have a safe and Happy New Year.

The clear quartz stone you found are what we call Cape May Diamonds here at the southern tip of NJ.

Aaah interesting!

[@soniak2865]

[@underthesurface4435]

Yes, the “Jet Glass” mourning buttons….worn in the Victorian times! Beautiful find. They can be quite valuable if in mint condition….GL and HH🙏🏼🍀👋🏼🇨🇦

[@NonnaTradCat]

Another awesome year in the books! My favorite finds this week were the lone blue marble & the little Coca Cola key chain charm. Happy New Year to you and your family, Matt. Looking forward to a new year of fab finds!! Your friend from up nawth, Carolyn

Hi there Eagle Eye! Thanks for the cool video. That Medieval horse reminds me of some mounted knights my brothers had as a kid made by Marx toy company. Love your finds!

[@underthesurface4435]

Lol, I wish!!! Yes on the horse, and thanks my friend.

[@debrabrooks6138]

Happy New Year! Wonderful video! I did notice @ 19:44 right next to your thumb is a seal you can see it is bent together. I thought it was 2 pennies at first.

[@underthesurface4435]

Happy New Year Debra! Thanks so much!, I’ll check that out !

[@nilsarivera612]

Good morning Have a blessed New Year

[@underthesurface4435]

Japanese porcelain with Tori gate. Bottle in top of embankment by Coke bottle. Button may be Jette, a black plastic developed in Europe in Victorian times.😊

[@underthesurface4435]

Great info Madeline!, thanks so much.

Its the bottom of a bushel basket, like for crabs.

That would make sense!

Hello! NJ!! What could be better than a video with buttons and a marble? Happy New Year to you, Matt and the family. Thanks for ending with your dad's beautiful picture. BTW Have you seen my missing faceted black glass button? J/K S AZ

Thanks Lisa!!!

You need to get your dad down to that old dock near the 1941 church to paint the wood sticking out of the water and its reflections.

[@underthesurface4435]

Aaah, great idea!

[@marydegenkolb9603]

Matt, Copper stingray with long curled tail and a trident on its back. the two dots are eyes.

Hilarious like your towel

They are!!

Are you going to put out a new years day short on first find?

[@underthesurface4435]

@@johnantonacci3027 very possible!

[@kerlyn3582]

The copper coil with a snake head I think (not sure) but it could possibly be of Hindu origin

[@underthesurface4435]

Agreed

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I have a question. What are those bag seals for and to what? That interesting copper design looked like a cobra. Cool marble find, a armor horse, faceted button, Coke bottle. Some pretty cool finds. Happy new year to you and family. 🎆🎇🎊🎉

[@underthesurface4435]

Sure did Sally!, great question… to my understanding they had many uses , one of which (more common ) was to be placed on shipping bags for identification , so they were lost quite often . I do believe they are usually quite old . Happy New Year!

Nice!!

I'm not sure if yours is this but, I've seen coca cola key chains at antique stores similar to that.😊

[@underthesurface4435]

That’s exactly what it is, thanks!

[@charlessilverfox906]

The copper wire u found i believe it's a cobra design. 🐍

Yes absolutely!

That was a ship cannon.

[@underthesurface4435]

Hmmmmmm, really?, I’m bringing that thing home then!

[@bex57222]

I think it looks like one too. The breachloader is missing. Looks like a ship wreck.

[@LadyArseling]

I’m from Pittsburgh! Was it a Heinz ketchup bottle maybe?

[@underthesurface4435]

That could very well be .

[@catherinethompson2525]

Its a cobra snake head

[@underthesurface4435]

Yes! Thanks Catherine.

Great video….!👏🏼 One question; Where are you located? It feels like the Maine or New England area? Anyways just curious….New Sub here!🙋🏻‍♀️ Happy New Year to you and your family…🙏🏼⭐️🍾👋🏼🇨🇦P.S. I hope you figured out that the piece of copper resembles a Cobra, right?😂👋🏼

Was your copper find a Cobras snake

[@underthesurface4435]

It sure was, possibly a religious offering into the bay waters.
