Did These Old Coins Come From an Actual Treasure Chest?

On this adventure I metal detect a property rumored to contain a hidden box of old coins. Do the things I find verify the myth?

Hey Folks, thanks for watching today's video! If you've come to the comments to let me know it's a window latch, consider using the time you'll save by visiting this link to today's sponsor! 😉 bit.ly/BradXPdetectors

I'm don't care what it actually is.. I'm calling it a treasure chest latch. I need that kind of hope ;)

[@lesliebowser3709]

Brad, I just wanted you to know how much I enjoy watching you pull these treasures out of the ground. It's something I miss terribly and your shows give me hope. I enjoy watching you, Eddie, and Chris especially because of the great friendship you all have and your son and wife too makes it real. Pre Covid, my daughter (now 30)and I would go out with my Bounty Hunter ( I know, lol, but it's what I could afford) and would find coins and lots of "stuff" and we enjoyed it very much. But due to Covid, I lost lung function in my right lung (blood clots), I cannot walk any distance at all without panting like a dog and needing to rest. Here in Oklahoma, we do not find the aged and great historic Coppers you do in the northeast but we still enjoy nonetheless. Please keep these videos coming. I like yours the best of all of them even though I watch several others. I also appreciate keeping the language so even young kids can watch and enjoy them. You make 'em, I will watch them!

[@georgeparker7409]

Brad, that "latch" is a window latch. I just restored 8 windows from an 1860's church here in Maine and all were identical to your find.

[@SuperBeermeister]

Brad, that's a Victorian era window latch!

Fun (or totally boring) fact - The sash lock you found at 6:00 was manufactured by Hobart B. Ives & Co., out of New Haven, Connecticut, and can be found on page 12 of their 1896 catalog, and again on page 7 of their 1904 catalog. Someone nearby obviously had some extra snazzy hardware in their house haha

Brad, after reading Sandy Peppers reply to my first comment today she is right don’t change anything. You know what is best for your channel and everyone loves everything you do. I think as I get older I just turned 74 and get a little restless and don’t think things through. Sandy is a smart person and I respect her opinion.

[@adelinegeesey9512]

That burgundy flower that you got a shot of was just gorgeous. What kind of flower was that? You have quite the eye for capturing different plants and nature scenes. It must be so much fun finding artifacts that were left behind so many years ago.

[@ruadhscottygirl2480]

I believe he was inspired by TerraGermania, who was the first one to start putting nature shots into his videos years ago. It was such a hit with viewers that other KZbinrs jumped on board. It helped make you feel you were there with the detectorist, plus gave you views in a different country sometimes. However, not many do it well (blink and you miss the photo), but Brad does a good job, plus marrying the changing of the shots to the music. Well done!

[@aprilp.4530]

Great day! Also loved that you incorporated digging scenes like you used to do!

Not sure if would be of the same use, but I find a lot of similar small hearts like that here in Canada. Mostly used as decoration for horse tack.

[@buckeyedigger7146]

I just bought a deus and have it on the charger now! I've been using a nox 800, which I love, but I'm intrigued by what I have read about the deus' performance on iron filled old home sites. I have a lot of old permissions in southern Ohio. Now the learning starts with the new machine.

[@rcrelichunter8598]

You bought the right detector for iron. Had my deus for 4 years. Will sift right thru the iron and give you the good signals. Been over areas I hit hard with my AT Pro and found tons of leftovers. Good luck, it will be your go to machine.

[@andrewj61]

RC Relic Hunter does it still work well in areas that are packed with densely scattered iron. Like old homesites with an annoying amount of nails? I haven’t considered getting a deus in my search for a new detector. Was leaning towards the equinox 800, but if this ones better I’ll look into it more.

[@rcrelichunter8598]

@@andrewj61 I typically hunt old home sites, so yes it does work in dense iron. There is a learning curve with the detector due to the amount of settings and customization. I use my own programs, not the ones that come stock with the machine. I have a program for fields and a separate program for iron patches which lets me hear the iron but basically rejects it.

[@andrewj61]

RC Relic Hunter Interesting. Thanks for the reply. I’ll have to do some more research and watch some videos on them. Thanks again!

[@RemoraTrading]

Brad, something that I've noticed watching your channel is that some of the areas you search all the coins and some of the artifacts are almost destroyed, while other areas as in this video are nearly as they were when they were dropped. This was and is very interesting to me as we do prospect gold in various locations in Vermont. One of the things you want to look for when looking for an area to prospect is high sulfide areas which is a very acidic area. We are wondering if you could tell us where some of you worse finds where found, not exact locations but areas. I would check surrounding streams for that shiny yellow metal. let us know your thoughts? And Thanks for another outstanding video!

Okay subscribers! I think it's time we start a go fund me page for Brad so he can buy a backup for that hat he has been wearing for the last decade!

I think a lot of rural people buried money. I remember going with my mother to her old farmstead to try to find a jar of coins she buried when very young. Didn't find it. My uncle had a habit of hiding money around his property and the walls of his house too. Some big stashes were large. Some of the hidden money was to pay off workers if he wasn't around when they finished. They would call him and he would tell them "under a rock by the tree, or shed, or... A rancher friend in WY told me the old-timers around there used to stash their coins under beans in a half-eaten can so they would be safe while out on the range.

How about a bag seal instead of a bale seal. What would have been baled up in the woods in those days. But consider the fact that a lot of items could have been bagged up with a seal on it. Things like flour, corn meal, beans, rice. Still in the 1950's, these things were still available in cloth bags and the cloth was used for homemade clothing, etc.
