Good eye Nugget, the most dangerous ones are the ones that don't rattle to warn you in time. Glad you saw it first. I bet Daisy would have freaked out. Stay safe young man.

[@nuggetnoggin]

That's true, it didn't warn me either. I could of stepped right on it. Thanks for watching! Daisy would of really liked seeing it

[@vanessabouhfadi3032]

Nice to hear someone appreciating that sales are beautiful. Thanks

[@jim-do5pt]

That winder-kinda thing is/was a "Cockeye" - A turn down for buggy surrey, what helped anchor down the canvas of the vehicle. Most always decorative too, like yours!

[@patty4091]

Nice finds, even the critters! I’m glad you are alert, unusual for the snake not to notice you. I’ve ran into two when I was a kid, they were alert, and let me know it! I lit out of there as fast as I could.

[@historyhamm]

Thanks for the reminder about snakes. I’ve not seen one yet this year. Usually on my property are black snakes and an occasional Copperhead. I’ve never seen a rattler in the wild. Cool finds. My favorite is the big penny 😎 👍

[@diannmcdonald4949]

Wow, what an adventure! Snakes turtles and treasures. I especially like the cockeye or clock winder and the decorated knob. Those pieces speak to me with the beautiful detailed designs. Please continue to be watchful when out on your own in the woods. 😊🇨🇦

[@nuggetnoggin]

Will do! Thank you for watching!

[@KevinLuby-s1i]

Props to you Michael for your chill reaction to walking up on the rattler. Most folks have the "see snake, kill snake" attitude. They can certainly be appreciated for their beauty if admired from a few feet away. You are killing me with that 1817 large cent though. I think I'd pass out if I ever found something like that. I'm happy as a clam to find anything as old as a wheaty or war nickel.

[@nuggetnoggin]

Thank you! I wouldn’t kill the rattlesnake since I’m in his home exploring around. Was great to view it from a distance. The large cent was in amazing shape too! I’m still excited about it

[@mitchellgunnells7883]

I have a see snake run from snake attitude. 😂

[@julielumsden5184]

Mine would be see snake go in the opposite direction

[@peggyhaines7394]

@@mitchellgunnells7883ME TOO. NOT A Fan of seeing them on a video. 😂 God bless you and PROTECT YOU. 🙋🏻‍♀️❤️🇺🇸

[@dannyl2598]

A large cent is still on my bucket list. Probably because anyone that swung a coil over one would definitely dig it.

[@maryashley2947]

My husband and I would love to go metal detecting one day with you!! So fun! Love history

[@nuggetnoggin]

Thank you! More videos on the way

[@austinbradley3411]

Awesome video as always. I always come across pigs in the woods.got chased up a tree one time had to wait for 20 minutes til they left the area.

[@nuggetnoggin]

Really ? i have never came across any wild hogs yet but i know they are out there. Thanks for watching

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

Congrats on the old largie, Michael. Nice finds from both spots, I like the clock winder. Timber rattler, wow! I'm glad you spotted it in time!❤

[@nuggetnoggin]

Thank you! I enjoy finding large cents. Yeah, i'm glad i was looking down at that moment because some times i look ahead

[@rogerwilliams977]

That's the 1st coin I found, in the school yard when I was a little kid 😂❤

Howdy neighbor 😅 we're in Eden 3 Miles from the Ridgeway.

[@brianholcomb940]

@AmberAdet Hi neighbor, hope you have a great day!

[@AlabamaDigger]

At 8:42 that pewter thing is an 1800s coffin screw. I found a bunch at a place where the built coffins in the 1880s.

[@nuggetnoggin]

That's cool! What a find

[@bmw19877]

You forgot something much more important than your backpack - Miss Daisy.

[@nuggetnoggin]

Haha, Daisy can’t come on every adventure, y’all got to realize that . Lining up schedules is tough when so much going on. I have few videos with her coming soon though!

[@debbiewilsomn4314]

The little piece with the ball tip looks to be the tip off of a bolo tie.

[@nuggetnoggin]

Thanks for letting me know

[@brianhums5056]

I always enjoy your videos, but this one seems like you found more than buttons and buckles....snake and turtle. That is awesome and so glad you saw it first. Your enthusiasm is very apparent for metal detecting and you have a great kind personality along with it. Very good channel for all, family friendly also. God Bless you Nugget.

[@andreamills5852]

Didn't you and your friends encounter western diamond backs in Texas about 3 yrs. ago Stay Safe

[@nuggetnoggin]

We did, but at this site we knew they were going to be there. Todd took us there and said he finds them all the time. That's little different because it's in texas haha. I should of said, " while metal detecting my part of the states, NC, SC, VA ,GA, TN area

[@timbarry6170]

Indiana here, it's my first video that I've seen. I'll have to watch more. Like your channel

[@JustPlainSteve5372]

WOW, right off the bat You're in the Money!!!

[@barbaraverdoorn9076]

Thst winder is lovely. I cant help but think about those types of items throughout the day and wonder what they went to and who must have owned them. I love your treasures! ❤

[@JustPlainSteve5372]

Yeah, keep that Rattler at a distance! ------------->🐍

[@juliealbert9222]

That sure was a pretty Snattle Rake 😆

[@pamelaveselinovic3743]

Love seeing the snake and turtle.

[@nuggetnoggin]

Thanks for watching!

[@ms.c.parker8137]

I am from Victoria, Australia and I enjoy watching your's and Daisy's channel, such interesting finds you get and even the animals are interesting too. The piece you found at 10:15 looks like a tip from an umbrella. It would secure the canopy to the end of the ribs on the frame of the umbrella. Sometimes google image search can also help if your not sure on some items.

[@nuggetnoggin]

Seems so! Thank you for this!

[@marilynpowell6881]

I think that small pointed brass conical thing is called a chape for the end of a strip of leather or chord. Thanks xx

[@johnc5450]

I just started detecting and have been watching for a while. Should I dig every signal? I’m thinking it might help me learn my detector and what it’s identifying. I also want to get better understanding of how it works but at the same time trying to make every hole count. P.S. I say hide a verse, this is an awesome platform to “fish”!

[@nuggetnoggin]

Digging every signal will help you learn your Detectors target ID and tones faster . I recommend it, if you cherry pick, you’re gonna miss flat buttons in Old Relics.

[@bmw19877]

We have many rattlesnakes near my home in Scottsdale, AZ. I keep my snake catcher pole and leg guards by my front door. I have captured a lot of them bothering my neighbors.

[@nuggetnoggin]

Crazy!

[@charlieschemmel122]

Great relics cool large cent thanks for sharing!!!!!

[@nuggetnoggin]

Thanks for watching!

[@KeithMcclendon-vs9sx]

Looks like an old pipe

[@RogueRipple]

As usual, great video! Those danger noodles are tricky to see! Especially copper heads. I was told here in Arkansas that you're always within 15 feet of one. Glad you spotted it!

[@nuggetnoggin]

Thank you!

[@dannyl2598]

Thanks Nugget. The two matching items could be from a gentlemans walking stick. The car part could be a toilet seat hinge.

[@dougsnyder8963]

Glad you spotted that Rattlesnake NN. I’ve never seen one in the wild either. Only copperheads and black snakes. Congrats on those awesome finds. Great looking Largie. I think that decorative brass piece under the spoon bowl may have been part of an old shutter. Part of a latch I think? Thanks for another productive video, Doug in NC

[@nuggetnoggin]

I appreciate it Doug! Now that I think about it , I did see a rattlesnake in Texas , but we went hunting for them at night . So it technically wasn’t while metal detecting . More videos on the way

[@RobertPirtle-q9g]

I’m a newbie . I’m glad I found his channel on Facebook.

[@nuggetnoggin]

Hope you have great success metal detecting!

[@jaysmith179]

Watch out for poison ivy. Just got over a bad case of it while planting some trees on my land. Some great finds.

[@nuggetnoggin]

Yes poison ivy is bad this time of year because you can't see it. Thank you

[@rochelle.l.rochelle5219]

Thanks for showing us your trash pile its good to see all the not good items as well as the good ones. Not every target it a winner.

[@nuggetnoggin]

So true! Thanks for watching

[@markreetz1001]

The item at 11:25 I think is part of a hinge.

[@joycekennedy1730]

Beautiful Snake and great finds, love your videos!

[@nuggetnoggin]

Glad you enjoyed, thank you for watching!

[@southpawwoodcrafts846]

The small cone-shaped piece with the hole in it (10:14) looks like the tip off of an umbrella. Not the center of the umbrella but one of the spine ends to keep you from poking yourself in the eye.

[@nuggetnoggin]

It does look like it. Thank you for watching!

[@stevenallegretto1746]

That small piece looks like it may be a bolo tie tip, just a guess...love your show.

[@nuggetnoggin]

Could be. Thanks for watching!

Nice items. I wonder if that curved item with a triangular point was part of a hinge. It's kewl nonetheless. You are going to give Daisy a real heart attack one of these days with the unexpected things/creatures you come across.

GREAT hunt Nugget! So glad you spotted the Rattler! That Large Cent is in wonderful shape. Glad I am not the only one that runs off and leaves something! God bless!

[@stephenellison2475]

I've spent lots of times in the woods and have seen very few rattlers, they are shy and flee. Cotton mouths on the other hand are numerous and very aggressive. They actually come after you.

[@nuggetnoggin]

Glad i'm not the only one who sees very few. Thanks for watching

[@catherinenutter5696]

That tiny metal round piece with a small hole in it looks like an end cap for a tie string off a jacket.

[@occamsrazor7939]

The knob with a matching tip. Could that be from a straight walking cane? Thanks for sharing.

Ohh 😮 could be. Looks not durable but could be for sure

Why don't you put Scripture in the end of your videos anymore? Robert from Pensacola fla.

[@f.k.b.16]

Better throw in some Romans TNT (10:9-10) in there if you keep running across rattlers! 👍

[@nuggetnoggin]

Great verse!

[@nuggetnoggin]

Id like too. It causes the algorithm to flag it usually, that's why I went from beginning to the end. I would have to hide it in background haha

Thank you! Rattlesnakes are in NC too , GA as well, you just don’t see them as much. The cell phone video turned out clear, worked well. I appreciate it!

[@davelafond7659]

Could that hallow ball be the cap for a cane and the bottom companion be for the tip of the cane. At the second site, could that triangular piece have attached to a door or shutter with the hole at the end attach to a hinge? Enjoy your videos!

How do you find these places to metal detect? Are these public or private lands? I tend to go door to door asking for detecting permissions but I feel like I'm spending most of my time asking and getting denied instead of actually detecting.
