Historic Floods Expose Undiscovered Treasures in Ancient Swimming Hole

[@HowardRider-ed5pm]

It cracked me up to see that 1 Japanese yen coin! It is the smallest denomination coin still in circulation here in Japan! I looked at the loose change I'm carrying in my pocket today and I have 8 of them that look identical to the one you showed in the video! They are aluminum and at today's exchange rate it takes 154 of those to make US $1.00! Great videos Brad! Keep up the amazing work!

[@kyle_hartshorn]

Hahaha!!! :) Nice man! :) I'm in Tokyo watching these videos too! :) I showed my kids how a 1 yen coin floats, so random he found one in the US. 😁

[@NeonCheddar]

And you didn't add that it's called a "Yenny" to any American living/lived in Japan, cmon dude! lol

[@HowardRider-ed5pm]

@@NeonCheddar That must be an Americanism, I guess. I'm American, but I have lived in Japan for 50 years and I never heard of a "yenny"! In Japanese it's an "ichi en dama." I don't think Japanese would think of "yenny" because they don't pronounce that first y, so it would just come out "enny" which just sounds like "any" which isn't any fun. I recently read that the Japanese govt. is considering phasing out the 1 yen coin and making the 5 yen coin the smallest coin. We shall see!

[@TacticalTinkerer]

I found it ironic that he found that coin with a $$$ machine when I remember a time a local on Okinawa laughed at me when I picked one up off the ground...he said it couldn't buy enough rice to replace the energy I wasted...

[@hessve]

I live in Quebec Canada when i watch the vidéo the coin seem familiar,foumd it today,it match,

[@swampyankee72]

Being a fly fisherman, I can offer a little help. The area in front of a boulder or large rock is called a "Hydraulic cushion." Metal detecting in front of larger boulders shouldn't be ignored. Heavier objects do settle here. The current behind the rock is called an eddy; as you surmised, it's a low-pressure spot in the river. It will form, as you referred to, "coin holes." Not to mention shelter nice trout!

Just a little side note: if you are new to the channel- all of the music in his videos was written and performed by Brad. Not everyone reads the description of the vids, but you can find links to purchase the music at the bottom of the description.

[@sombrereptile4167]

BRAD! - is the NOT THURSDAY channel yours? Or is it someone stealing your content and reposting it? The channel has more subscribers than this one. I hope if it is not yours that you can get it deleted.

So all music in all the videos is performed by Brad?If so,I'm not worthy, even if He didn't do it all ,the music and video content is top shelf.

I always look forward to Friday morning just for the latest video. The finds were great, but the landscape was amazing! Thanks Brad!

[@daveb8457]

The old swimming hole makes my imagination run wild.

[@nanaman]

Your content is far more interesting than those who are on the beaches. Thank you 😊

[@sarahhunnicutt3769]

I think it’s the person’s commentary and enthusiasm which makes it more interesting! Thanks, Brad!

[@TerryArchibald-w5r]

The "lantern part" looks more like the burner from an older camping stove. They still make camping stoves,but the modern ones have stainless steel burners whereas the ones made back in the 50's used hard copper or brass.

[@guru6725]

Yes, that's what I thought too

[@paulah317]

The music and the sound of the stream makes my day!

[@DavidBall-v5i]

The Old foreign coin fell off an old spy balloon, no wait, a weather balloon. Yeah that's da ticket! 😊❤

[@jerryblum277]

That item you found below the down trees where the stone wall is the top of a hurricane lamp. It's what the chimney sits on I do believe 😊

[@alienonion4636]

I've been to that swimming hole. It was ages and ages ago. And my brother lost his keys. We would pull up handfuls of stuff from the bottom and sift through it looking for coins. I don't remember where it was I lived in Vermont as I was only there for about a year. And every day I was surrounded with beauty and kind neighbors.

[@johndubeau5523]

It’s such a blast watching your videos Brad. Thank you for the enjoyment

[@joebrothers3517]

Enjoyed this! Loved hearing the running water and seeing the swimming hole.

Alright Brad 👍 struck GOLD.

[@Carolbearce]

That is an amazing place to metal detect. So soothing to listen to the stream. Love the ring you found.

[@Philip-um8kb]

This oldster is so appreciative....I loved everything about the limestone creeks and the beautiful green woods of the Ohio and Indiana areas... You're a great friend 😊🕊️

I'm with you on that.

The old swimming hole only if it could tell the stories it must hold. Hey Brad your videos a good cup of coffee on the back porch what a way to start the day thanks you sir. God bless , be safe stay well until next time.

[@tinagordon4905]

Beautiful, and the sound of the water. Thank you.

[@jamescostabile862]

I'm one of those people who find (sometimes) modern jewelry and coins. But you find so much more, you find a part of history.

[@shellypontz4155]

I was gardening at my home, digging in the dirt, and found a Rolex watch!!!! It had been there a LONG time! I took it to a Rolex jewelry store, and the jewler paid me a very descent amount for it!!!!! You NEVER know what you may find!!!!😊

[@davidclauson5256]

Fridays not complete without a video from you!! Thanks for sharing your finds. Congratulations on the ring!!!

[@ericl452]

In the early 70s when I was a kid, I would get the occasional buffalo nickel in change or from my paper route. I would also get a silver dime or quarter and I remember getting some 1943 steel pennies. Silver coins in change pretty much ended in late 1979 when the price of silver jumped up.

[@larkdavis6041]

What an absolutely breathtaking place!!!! ❤

[@dianeo2819]

What a beautiful place. We have nothing like that here in northeast Texas! We'd love to come see the Vermont mountains someday. Congrats on the gold ring!

[@sayitaintsl0w]

I am a Vermonter that lives on Lake Champlain. I have tried metal detecting but my detector is a wonky machine that I cannot figure out. I spend a lot of time collecting beach glass. Last year while knee deep in the lake I saw what I thought was a round glass bottle top. To my disbelief, I pulled out a gold wedding band. What are the chances? I can’t find a nail with my metal detector but my eyes found a small gold band in 3 feet of lake water.

[@jimson1969]

Dude, you don’t know how much peace you bring me, each weekend, with your finds. Life is crazy, and that Yen find had me wondering of the history and travels it has taken. Thanks again for your videos!

[@markvick3984]

I think your mystery item is a piece of an old electric lamp. It looks like the base that supports the harp that holds up the shade. Turn it with those pins up, and I think you will see what I mean. I've been enjoying your videos for 2 or three years now. Very interesting and great locations. I appreciate your taking the time to throw in video of the plants and wildlife you run across, too.

Careful with that ring. It didn’t work out to well for Bilbo and Frodo.

The metal ring is for a lampshade holder on a more modern light. There is a metal piece that goes up around the bulb and has a screw top to hold shade in place.

[@andrewhaag2422]

Awesome 👍 job therre Brad !! 💙

[@b.slocumb7763]

I was yelling out “That’s a yen!” When you found it. Wouldn’t be surprised if the kid of a military family had a nice coin collection and played with it outside, maybe had a pocketful of coins and ran around the yard and lost that one. I ruined my dad’s coin collection by playing with it, and I think we used to carry loads of pennies in the backs of Matchbox trucks.

[@user-Icicleandfireball]

Wow, super cool finds, all the coins, keys.

[@didisalyers4460]

Great video today. I would take the ring and have it buffed up.

[@garyslogan]

Great stuff! I always feel sorry for anyone who loses their wedding band. Think how crushed they and their spouse must have felt. Glad you found it, though.

[@emilasmith4279]

How fun was that!!! I love all the interesting things you always find! Serious score on the ring! Maybe a hobbitt dropped it! ❤

[@wh8085]

The findings were cool for sure but the most awesome thing about this video for me was that stream , sooooo awesome . I grew up in the Texas Panhandle and running water streams were few and far apart and usualy very muddy if you did find one. Such a gorgeous area you live in !

[@barbararuss3881]

Definitely from a very old oil lamp. I’m 62 and my Great Grandmother had quite a few with the metal ring cut like that. WOW just looking at that brought me back through the years really fast

[@KidDig]

Nice job on the ring find! I hunt a lot of beaches in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and have found about 50 rings, alas the gold one still alludes me. However this gives me hope. I have begun to hunt some of the smaller streams and found a collection area similar to the one shown in the video. 95 coins, but all modern... still a thrill as my wife was with me and she had a blast! Friday's are the best... thanks Brad.
