Metal Detecting A Dried Up Reservoir | Look What I Found

Pineview Reservoir in Northern Utah is only at 37% capacity as of July, 2021. Utah, like most of the West, is suffering from a serious drought. To make lemonade out of lemons, we decided to take some metal detectors up to the dry lake bed to see what we could find.

When they drained it back in the early 70s we walked almost over to the point but mud stopped us. We also found the foundations. My Mother rode the train to the fountains that were free flowing. I have a postcard that shows Artisan Park.

[@tim_sessions]

That's cool. I just learned about those the other day. I'd love to have seen that.

[@christopherbraiden6713]

Thanks for the video beautiful place to be and you never now what your gonna find. Where there's trash there's treasure maybe next time!!😎🐓🐓🐓🇬🇧

[@tim_sessions]

Very true!

[@cwtrain]

I'm local to Utah and had a pretty good chuckle at "Mrs. Eccles, herself." Way to be clarifying with the overlay so everyone could get in on the joke.

I went metal detecting in a local park that has been around for 80 years and gets half a million visitors a year .. I couldn’t go 10 inches without finding the old snap tops from soda cans. There must be millions of them in this park. I actually gave up.. but I did actually find a yellow gold wedding band laying right on the surface without using my detector.. I do not find coins just laying everywhere in the parking lots of shopping centers anymore like I used to, because people don’t carry change. Everything is credit or debit pretty much.. I worked in the field for the a utility company i retired recently retired from.. I would usually find coins every day. I would find a treasure trove of coins in the parking lot where they push the snow in the corners of the mall parking lot when the snow starts to melt in March. I have saved every coin I have ever found. I have two large coffee cans full of these corns that I started collecting in the 70s. I never looked at them to see if they have collector value--- yet

I remember when I was a kid aand they drained it to repair some wells. I remember seeing the foundations from old homes that were covered when they raised the dam higher after they rebuilt it. My Dad told me that he remembered the homes being there when he was in college.

[@tim_sessions]

That's crazy. You've seen some history.

[@kevinneir7126]

My Montgomery Ward crystal ball sees a 500" snowfall this upcoming season at Powder Mountain. Maybe that will ease the drought conditions a bit.

[@tim_sessions]

🔮That would be welcomed

[@danno5805]

Thanks for keeping your finds real, unlike most metal detectist where they plant stuff every time 😁

[@tim_sessions]

You're welcome!

[@nameridstormfellow5578]

you were actually not looking in the best area but were close to it. if you went about a half mile or so south you'll find what looks like a gravel road, which is actually a railroad grade, and there are also some foundations in the mud with some unique relics lying around too.

[@sandygap1]

Stay with it Tim, treasure is just one arm sweep away. Pineview is soooo low. The only time I seen it lower was back in the 1960s when it was drained and work was done to the dam and artesian wells.

[@tim_sessions]

I definitely want to head back up. Hopefully, next winter will be better for us. That's cool you got to see that.

[@kpend1001]

That Olympia beer can kicked ass. Old school Clint Eastwood favorite from the 70s. They brought it back a few years ago but I don't believe it's made in Washington anymore. Buried party treasure from the 70s lol.

[@tim_sessions]

Haha. Really? I didn't know that.

[@kpend1001]

@@tim_sessions yep lol.

[@thevanordenfamily2667]

I always wanted to get into metal detecting It just looks way fun. Keep it up I’m excited to see what you find next😃

[@tim_sessions]

Thanks Chad! Me too

[@metaldetecting2077]

love your cinematography and how you explain your situations. subbed you

[@tim_sessions]

Thank you! That keeps me going

[@BookOfMormon4GenZ]

I've done some metal detecting at Pineview Reservoir! I know the beach your on and I found loads of aluminum cans. My grandpa worked on the PIneview Dam in the 1930s People get mad when it's called 'Ogden Valley'? First I've heard of that. Anyway, keep working it! The comments about Mrs. Eccles were hilarious! 🤣 I've read 'The History of Weber County' and there are a handful of last names of the early settlers that got to the area first and the last names are still running the show. I enjoyed your honest approach of finding garbage. Keeping it real!

[@tim_sessions]

Thanks! Gotta go back, but it's full this year.

[@sandoval7035]

Another great video Tim. I would be interested in seeing some more metal detector videos. Have a great evening bro and be safe out there.

[@tim_sessions]

Thank you!

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

Looked a good day happy digging

[@lorrainemiale467]

Interesting hunt! So sad how low the lake is...😎😎😎🙃🙃🙃😖😖

[@tim_sessions]

Time to go back!

[@philipcallicoat9947]

This sure beats the KZbin fakers who manage to "find" King Tut's gold every new post...Your honest and easy going attitude is an oasis in the wasteland!!! Stay safe... PS... The gloves are a wise move on your part!

[@tim_sessions]

Hey, thanks for the kind words! Sounds like there's a place for me in the metal detecting world.

[@BryanHiatt]

Wow. Just wow.

[@tim_sessions]

😦

[@juanitabefort8829]

Remember can slaw will trail, u want your signal sharp but not to drag, if it drags it is aluminum

[@martysender5539]

Cool. first time i've seen that. Treasure hunting and filming it with a DJI Pocket 2. good job gentleman. Marty of Marty Sender You Tube in DC. i use Pocket 2 for music. come say hello.

[@tim_sessions]

Cool videos! Pocket 2 bros

[@wjess3569]

I'm a fisherman.. and I'm embarrassed to say that we are probably natures worst slobs. Toss it over the side.. or leave it on the bank. Here in Idaho.. they'd blame it all on Commifornians.

[@tim_sessions]

There was definitely a lot of junk there.

[@Tadzmobetta]

Hey Tim, good for you to get out there! I am down here in Evanston. I have an 800 as well! I have a permission to dig around Piedmont if y’all are interested!

[@tim_sessions]

Very interested. Shoot me an email at [e-mail]

Thanks for stopping by and subbing. I'll check out your stuff as well. I am still learning this whole metal detecting thing.

[@maalintv8042]

Love your content I would suggest you to get into paragliding if you know what it is

[@tim_sessions]

Paragliding would be great.

[@Findingsilver]

Did you have to get any type of permit from the State or State Parks? A Utah local.

[@tim_sessions]

I was relying on the expertise of my friend, who is an avid metal detector and versed in the regulations.

[@DirtyMoneymetaldetecting]

I grew up in Logan. Would love to be down there grabbing gold rings on all those low reservoirs. I bet the ones in the Preston area are also pretty low.

[@danceswithowls4000]

Wow that is cool you have a new job as a garbage man. Lol. Still a awesome vid

[@tim_sessions]

Haha, so much garbage!
