GOLD and DIAMONDS in Las Vegas, Nevada - Sidewalk Sniping!

[@Klesh]

What's the craziest place you've found treasure?

[@RaysWorld]

Just got a 14k gold ring at a yard sale for $0.50. Not too crazy of a place, but a crazy deal for sure!

[@lankywhiteguy]

This always amazes me to see! Great video!

[@2HighNoon]

An old snow sledding hill that’s been used for generation. If you haven’t made a video metal detecting an old sledding hill you should.. especially since your in Colorado, you’ve probably got ills with generations of stuff buried in the hill.

[@2HighNoon]

Oh but my coolest unexpected find was while digging a fence post hole. 18 inches down I found an 1857 quarter. They discovered gold here locally in 1862. So I imagine an ol’miner probably lost it during that era. It’s one of the most minted coins of its time. I was pulling out dirt from the hole and noticed an oddly shaped rock in the side. Wasn’t a rock :) Oh oh, that and an old 3.5 inch cannon ball in a mining cut once too. It dates from the civil war. They had lots of left over cannon balls and for a long time miners would buy them because they were cheaper than milling balls. They used them in tumblers to crush ore. They wore out quicker but the cost made up for it. Super cool history I learned after finding it and asking questions about why I would find a cannon ball here.

[@KrazyMitchAdventures]

about 30 yrs ago: I found a Platinum Ring, and a 22 kt Necklace with pendant, I paid $2.50 CAD for the ring, and $1.50 for the Necklace (it had a broken clasp), and I paid $25 for a ‎Giorgio Armani suit (that fit me like it was made for me) all from the North Vancouver (BC Canada) Salvation Army thrift store on Lonsdale Ave.

[@nealgardner3733]

Really nice ,I remember when NYC dredged out Prospect Park Lake in Brooklyn ( 1863-1871)...................I lived in the area where they dumped the slop spoils in the 1970's silver coins from 100 years + just washed out ....Not many people bothered with it because little was known about the project.......What a score.......

[@lisalisameyer1077]

Treasure is everywhere! As a small child I found $100 bill in Chinatown on a Disneyland trip in the '70s. After that I was hooked!! Always keep one eye on the ground!! Great video as always Shane 😊

[@aaronhow1932]

That is Awesome! I once found a 20 dollar bill on a road just 5 blocks or so from my house! :) Since then though I have only found maybe 2 quarters, a dime, a nickel and a handful of pennies combined in the following decade or so. I am impressed about a 100 dollar bill though! :)

[@mtmcommunity]

I was in school and I looked in the rocks good and seen a 20 dollar bill buried in the rocks, the 2 was the only thing showing

[@masterk5372]

Same here always look down on the streets because you never know what you might find

[@generalconsumer9520]

In the '80s I found $100 bill at the cart racks at Kroger. My mom snatched it and said put it up quick, she would split it. She bought us food for $80 and gave me $10 and my sister $10. I was bummed. What I owe my mom now I'd be embarrassed to see. That memory reminds me of our struggle and to appreciate where we are and what my own family has now.

Did you notice the Zoltar fortune telling machine from the Tom Hanks movie BIG that is an iconic piece of movie history

[@NefariousEnough]

Panning in the sewers downstream from jewelers in big cities in India is a very common practice. Unfortunately those waterways are also where sewage is discharged. Cool vid!!

[@crazyjane6570]

I watched a documentary about folk in India doing this & smelting the dust & debris into smallish looking nuggets to turn into cash just for day to day survival ..seemed like an extremely big effort for such little money. I’m sure it all took place at night after they’d been working all day at their actual manual Job which was pretty grim, long hours, low paid often 6/7 days a week & not having enough to survive so had to think of extra stuff to bring in rest of money required for the bare basics and no more …….

[@Notellemkrik1776]

The craziest place I found treasure , was in the attic of an old house I lived in . 10,000 dollars in old trains and handful of old silver coins . Enjoyed this Klesh . Keep up the great adventures because I enjoy watch

[@carltonbauer2779]

Sometimes finding gold is like pulling teeth.

[@johnfinch8173]

Hi Shane, The brass ring thingy is actually a ferule which is used in Pneumatic/hydraulic lines as a hose/pipe end crimp seal.

[@b-radfrommalibu]

It also looks like a crush washer from a 1/2" copper pipe compression fitting. I don't know if that's what you are talking about or not.

[@iamjustamomdoingthebestica6999]

That's what it thought when I saw it too!

[@catsarereallyfurryaliens]

Here in ENGLAND it’s called an “ olive” it’s a compression fitting for connecting pipes water gas etc

[@richardbeee]

That was cool. Great finds for a front door. Let's see, we go to the entrance door from the inside; turn over the open sign, lock the front door and go out through the repair shop in the back of the store, exit ,lock climb into the auto and leave. More fund in the back. I know, been there. Always check the back. Everything goes out the backdoor. Floor sweepings, things stuck to your shoes,.....:) Anyway great video! Have a big treasure i'm working on but can't find anyone to trust. This one goes back 100's of years.

[@jessesanchez9538]

I really enjoy to watch what comes out of our sidewalks. I'll be looking forward to seeing more videos likes these.

[@ITechcompulock]

Master Scrounger, I wouldn't mind being stranded on a mountain or something with you because we could scrounge all the way back to town.

That weird shaped yellow thing is called a ferrule (sounds like Farrell) it either goes to a brake line or a fuel line as part of a compression type joint that squeezes from both sides to stop the flow of liquid out of the joint.

[@erichood3169]

Sure is

[@BrassIsMyGold]

Actually, that brass ferrule is most commonly used in plumbing, especially in water shutoff valves in kitchens and bathrooms.

[@sccarguy8242]

I love these types of videos. They are just so neat, and more importantly unique.. thanks for doing them !!

[@thatgirl634]

Not a bad haul for a half a glove full of dirt!! I'm impressed & just dubbed 😁 I always look down when I'm walking, esp in the city. People drop things, expensive things, all the time. I've found a lot and have also lost a lot of my own possessions. I imagine someone else was happy finding them, lol. When I walk with my friend, I always tell him to scan the ground for little treasures as he walks, though he's the kind that can't chew gum and walk at the same time, so looking down is a bit of a challenge for him. More for me!! 😂

[@Klesh]

Thanks glad you enjoyed and thanks for subscribing!

[@vivianli1621]

6:31 while i was waiting for the buss in sweden helsingborg, i found that exact gem now i want to go find more like you!

[@Klesh]

You can and it’s fun!

[@scrapman502]

I go for 5-mile walks around the block by my house when it's fairly cool & dry out. One time while I was negotiating the shoulder on the side of the road, when I happen to look down and caught a glimpse of something golden. I reached down and picked it up. What I saw was the tip of an 8K gold bracelet (marked 333 on clasp).It weighed about 4-5 grams. The ring was broken on it, which is probably why the bracelet was on the ground. I always find coins all over the place, especially at intersections and drive through windows. This was the Second time I've found actual gold. The first time was a 14K gold ring buried in the ground behind my sister's house downtown. It was cut, probably stolen long ago since I have found lots of empty purses and other things thrown over the fence onto her property.

[@thestorageauctionking]

This is so cool. I've found gold in lockers at auction, good will and even in the garbage before. It's always fun to treasure hunt!

[@jackmahogovv]

I love these urban prospecting videos. You need to do a large scale version by taking some good scraping tools and your vacuum. Las Vegas is definitely a good place to do this for sure.

That thing you found around 6:18 is a brass ferrule . For water connections pretty much used for plumbing

You’re having more luck in the Vegas asphalt jungle thanWyoming. Really like High Altitude, flowing water, pay streaks, campfires, steak and taters! Great video contrasting your flexibility in treasure hunting!

[@thegeck9978]

Ugh! I cringe whenever see someone stick their fingers in EC, and RainBird Boxes. Especially in the desert, spiders love them. Another great vid Shane!

[@aaronhow1932]

Awesome! :) I first heard about the existence of street mining about 4.5 years ago in a book about someone who over the course of like 3 years, found at least about a combined 2 or 3 thousand dollars in NYC alone! :) You are just the second person I have encountered that mines street treasures so you are ahead of the game! :) Great work and channel! :)

[@Klesh]

If you watch my New York City video, I made a few hundred bucks (in just gold, not counting the gemstones/diamonds) in just 45 minutes. A few thousand is possible in a day, easily with the right equipment and a bit of hard work.

[@fuckyoutube5584]

@@Klesh I used live in Vegas in the 90s make a long story short. Stepdad was a repo man and accepted a old coin slot machine to not repo his car. I was young and accidentally knocked it over when I crashed ATV into it. Broke and a few gold dollars were found. We ate out at the Sharia casino Idk if I spelt it right. Was old and knocked down today

So Cool, Shane! You got 100% back on your only gamble, plus some sidewalk treasure. Looks like more gold than some of your Colorado panning, eh? : )

[@raymondmckay3237]

About two feet from the curb on asphalt I saw a sparkle. It was a .25 carat Dimond and about 3 inches away was a smashed gold earring stud.

[@miningmonkey760]

Nice vid again Shane. Had me glued. Geocaching was great during COVID. And also with my kids many years ago.

[@penngwinn]

After watching your videos I feel like so much less of a creep for scouring the ground looking for treasure. And then picking it up and pocketing it. Mailing a glove of dirt to yourself from Las Vegas is Something I would never have thought of.

[@trackpackgt877]

The only treasure I ever found was kinda a treasure my mom was taking a bunch of old jewelry she got over the years from yard sales and stuff to a smelter for money all real gold and silver they told her they wouldn't give her any extra for the diamonds and gem stones so she let me pop all the gems out and keep I ended up with 45 diamonds 5 sapphires 2 aquamarines a couple garnets and 1 ruby. It was like treasure to me!!

[@BalladofJanine]

Klesh,..hey I'm with you on the gambling thing, hey 100% return heck yeah! I always stop too. I love my money too much to dump it into a game. Haha I bet you look sketchy digging around for that geo cache. I'd be laughing at you. Thanks Shane for the adventure!!

I used to enjoy picking up shinies, can't now with mobility crutches. Got to enjoy it while you can, thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@ferdburphel2076]

Really cool! I did a bag of paydirt from Dylan that had tiny faceted diamonds around the size of yours and they were floating like gold. Found more repanning once I realized they are hydrophobic. Judging by the fake diamonds Los Vagas must be the bedazzling capital of the world!

[@middleagecrazy4234]

I do the same thing you do pick up sparkling things. Always look down. Large Pearl real earring, clip on gold. Made a nice pendant.

[@catsarereallyfurryaliens]

Hello with that particular diamond tester you have to use it without a glove on because your finger has to be in contact with the metal plate on the other side of the diamond detector you complete the circuit, it won’t give accurate readings unless you do this

[@nedaCFilms]

The little brass ring is a “crush sleeve” which is a plumbing fitting.

[@wmichaelh29]

I've found that fabric softener is great at breaking surface tension. I use Downey

[@three6ohchris]

It will be pretty funny, when you fully release this video to the general Public and there's a rush of people that go to the sidewalk in front of the guys store, they ask get down on their hands and knees, and start sweeping up all the dirt in the cracks. LOL. If he's smart though, he'll go out there himself with a vacuum and get everything out of the cracks before anyone else can get to it. 😂 Regardless, I definitely need to get on your level with this kind of stuff. You're always finding treasures everywhere!

[@soulseeker42388]

I love how he said the first time it rains all the gold will sink to the bottom. only problem with that in Vegas is... they get only around 2" of rain annually. so there is rarely a rain that would be hard enough to sink the gold down.

[@Klesh]

That's true for vegas!

[@halibutman_fishing]

Sometimes they pressure wash the sidewalks so gets rid of a lot of treasure

[@mdavidson101]

10:02 that's part of a union fitting for joining pipe. Most likely used on brake, fuel or transmission lines

I used to scrounge the easy way as a casino dealer. Almost everyone wearing fine jewelry I would compliment them on their jewelry while telling them "if it's ever for sale look me up". And many looked me up for that offer. Where I was known as the Jeweler by my new nickname. I made a fortune at this. Because I knew exactly what a Pawnshop would offer. And my offer was always a bit higher than the pawnshops offers. And it didn't take long before my jewelery gold & Sliver sideline to out pace and become more lucrative than my casino job. What a scam I had going. It was easier than highbanking
