[@howardoller443]

I always enjoy your videos, Greg. They're always high quality and enjoyable. Keep up the great work.

[@relicrat]

What a wonderful variety of finds. And a cut Rosy. Who knew??? Thanks for sharing!!!

[@HistoryintheHandMetalDetecting]

Always learn a TON from your videos, so thanks for that! For a guy who's only been detecting since last summer, I have MUCH to learn from veterans like you. So thanks! That said, this week's mystery find is almost definitely the pendulum from a wind up clock. By adjusting the knurled nut SHORTER; the pendulum would swing FASTER…and visa versa for slowing down the timing mechanism. The heat of summer and cold of winter would often require tiny adjustments, due to expansion/contraction.

[@TheReal-HeeHaw]

Enjoyed ✌

Great hunt Greg. That piano advertising piece was really cool. The pocket knife and pocket watch were nice too.

[@michaelvenezia8432]

Hi Greg, My wife and I love watching your video's. I would love to see how you clean your coins and relics.

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks so much and really glad you and your wife enjoy my episodes. Here is an overview of how I clean some things for the channel. Apple cider vinegar is excellent for many brass and copper relics and for rusty pieces as well. I use it on pieces that do not have much historical value or pieces that don't have an original patina that I want to keep. Brooches, metal dog tags, some buttons, etc all respond well. I use the vinegar straight and just submerge the pieces in it. I pull them out at short intervals to check their progress. It's really amazing how quickly many of the things respond to the vinegar. Many brooches just take a few minutes! After I have it where I want it following the apple cider vinegar, I can then clean them lightly with a piece of #0000 steel wool that is wet and soaked with dish liquid soap if needed. I never use apple cider vinegar with coins. I usually only dry toothpick or use the Andre Pencils or English Composite Cleaning pencils on most old military buttons. Leaving the dirt in the crevices of the old buttons helps to make the button's high relief designs pop and display better. Most military buttons are dry clean only! I often clean the iron backed overall and denim buttons with a piece of wet #0000 steel wool soaked with dish liquid soap. Often, I will soak them for a little while in apple cider vinegar as well and then go over them with the steel wool. If an IHP or early wheat is not crusty. I will just dry clean them to try and preserve the patina using the Composite Cleaning Pencils from England and the Andre pencil set. I use the hard pencil to gently scrape any dirt from it. I then use the steel wool pencil and slowly remove the dirt and grime. I clean it with a dry, soft towel in between cleanings to see my progress. Once I have the coin where I want it, I will then use a tiny bit of paraffin wax and rub it into the coin which will give it a great luster. I do have a certain way of cleaning the IHP's and some early wheaties. Here is what I do for them when they have a stubborn coating on them. I use a small glass bowl and fill it with hydrogen peroxide. I then put it in the microwave until it is boiling. (40 seconds or so) Then I take the IHP and put it in. Whichever side you want to work on should be the side that is facing up. Give it about 10 seconds at a time and then remove it. Never leave them in it too long. I use a small fork and just push it up the side of the bowl until I can get my fingers on it. Be careful, the coin is going to be hot for a few seconds. I then rub it vigorously with my thumb or a cloth and a lot of times that is usually sufficient. If it has a lot of crust, I use the Andre Pencil set to scrape at the crust gently. You may have to repeat this a few times until you have it where you want it. Get the peroxide boiling each time. I do about 10 seconds each time. I also use the steel wool pencil that comes with the Andre Pencil Set a lot to get them perfect. Once I have the penny where I want it, I take a bit of paraffin wax and rub it into the coin to give it a deep luster. (Here's the disclaimer) With all that said, do not clean any coin that has substantial numismatic value. For nickels and aluminum tokens, (this is only for ones that have no numismatic or collector value) that you just want to look nice and display well you can use wet 0000 steel wool and some dish liquid soap on them. If a piece has any historical or monetary value or possesses a nice patina, keep the cleaning to a bare minimum. If it's a piece like an old brooch or a similar item that doesn't have any desirable original patina or historical value and you just want it to display nicely then feel free to clean it. Hope that helps some. ATB Greg

[@johnratcliffe7207]

Another great hunt and video. That cut clad Rosie was the strangest thing. Happy hunting

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks John and I was surprised finding that little cut Rosie. I always love finding those oddball finds. Appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@jeffadkins1666]

Your mystery find is definitely an adjustable pendulum weight for a clock. Happy hunting!

[@garysandburg8199]

That was a great hunt Greg. I hope you do better next week, . Take Care.

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks so much Gary and I appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

You are Welcome @@FindingAmerica

[@jonfranklin9361]

Cool finds Greg. I enjoy finding those advertisements pieces as well. The 900 is a beast. Take care Jon.

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks Jon and I love finding them as well. The 900 is just a great machine. Did you end up getting a 900 for yourself yet? Always great to hear from you and I appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@jonfranklin9361]

@@FindingAmerica I haven’t bought one yet, I have a few machines I need to sell first. 10 detectors may be too many? 😀

[@FindingAmerica]

Haha I can't believe I am going to say this but yeah, ten may be a few too many. LOL

[@stevenstark9017]

Hey Greg. Another excellent video. I really like the cool advertising piece, and the ponds lid, and the cut Rosie ( way cool and that awesome pocket watch.

[@anonymousamerican5676]

Definitely a weight for a clock pendulum.

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks so much for the help AA and I appreciate you having been subscribed for so long! Appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@alanatolstad4824]

Thanx for including that photo of the nurse changing a patient's bed linens! As a student, we had to practice on each other to know what that how process was like!

[@FindingAmerica]

My pleasure and I've always liked that one and it fit along with the hot water bottle stopper. Appreciate you watching this one Alana! Take care and ATB Greg

[@dennisthehirev580]

The rare 2 1l2 cent Rosie dime . One of only four minted. Congrats Greg.

[@FindingAmerica]

It definitely is Dennis! Now, if I can just find the other three out there I will have the market cornered and can name my price! LOL Appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@myrthagunter4141]

Husband said , mystery find could be a oil can for a rifle, possibly German made . Hope this helps . Thank you . Enjoyed !

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks so much for the help with it Myrtha! Appreciate you watching this one and so glad you enjoyed it! Take care and ATB Greg

[@philipstephan5451]

Awesome finds, oddly enough one of my big bucket list items I have always wanted to find is not that valuable but it's a pocket knife. So when you found that one I got really excited for you. Great video awesome finds.stay safe.😊

[@FindingAmerica]

Glad you liked seeing that knife come out Philip and I am sure you'll be digging one of your own up in no time at all. Appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@kellystewart8360]

That item is definitely a pendulum Greg. I have one idenitcal to it. Nice hunt overall.

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks a lot Kelly and glad you enjoyed this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@chrishardee8556]

I found a item like your mystery find. It turned out to be a pleasure release value for a pressure cooker.

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks for your help with it Chris and I appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@legacyXplore]

Cut quarter Rosie lol. Love it. You just never know.

[@FindingAmerica]

You definitely never know and that saying applies yet again in my next episode coming out. Appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@tacocin]

Rare!!! Post Colonial cut clad! 🤣🤣🤣

[@FindingAmerica]

Haha I couldn't resist. :) Appreciate you watching this one Max! Take care and ATB Greg

[@Treasure-Charger]

That cut Rosie is also Post Civil War, Greg 🤣Awesome hunt, buddy! I must tell you last weekend, I got a jumpy high tone only 1 way on my 900. It turned out to be a silver Merc!! Suddenly, I am not discounting sketchy signals with the 900. It does VERY well in iron! Great episode 👍

[@FindingAmerica]

Haha That it is. Yep, sometimes you just have to go with the tone and your gut on some signals. Congrats on sniffing that Merc out and it is really good in the iron. Can't wait for the Fall to get back in the woods and really play in the old iron with it. Appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@richiec7602]

I’m not the first to comment but that is definitely a pendulum. I bought an old mantle clock not too long ago and the knurled end is on a threaded piece of metal that hangs down from the clock workings. As you twist it, you raise and lower the pendulum making it swing faster or slower to adjust the timing of the clock. Great find!

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks so much for the info on that piece Richie! Appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@joebrown1382]

I remember those water bottle stoppers. I remember them as plastic. Nice Washington. That cut Rosie was strange. I'd say that was a pendulum weight. Looks like the rod is threaded to raise or lower the weight for time setting. Dug some nice wheats as well. Love the ending photos.

[@FindingAmerica]

I'm glad you're not old enough to remember the metal ones Joe! Thanks for the help with the mystery find. Really glad you are back on your feet and feeling well now. Appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@KorineGummo]

When the Metal Detecting Jeopardy episode innevitably airs, you will be a lock for a contestant. Ill take Jar Lids for $500-"This is the 'Desireable' color of a 20's to 30's Ponds jar Lid" Greg- "What is Silver" "Second Double Jeopardy question correct in a row!" Great vid bud, Fall isnt too far off. Looking forward to it.- Chris

[@FindingAmerica]

LOL With my luck they'll ask me about 13th century poets or Algebra 1. I'm ready for a Metal Detecting Finds edition though! haha The Fall can't come soon enough! Take care and ATB Greg

[@thegallowsdetectors666]

Hi Greg , well some very good finds this week not sure which is my favourite i do like the pocket knife and watch and also the pendant but i really like those rabies tag's probably because we have never had rabies over here being an island , and as for the mystery object i am with you on a pendulum , anyway a good episode mate hope all is good ATB Rob .

[@FindingAmerica]

Hi Rob, I remember you telling me that before and it's amazing that the UK has never had a single rabies case. Thanks for the confirmation on the pendulum. It's a neat piece to find. Appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@keepdigginmetaldetecting]

Yes, I believe it’s an old pendulum.

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks a lot for the help with it! Appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@EZDiggin]

13:05 maybe four friends each kept a piece??

[@FindingAmerica]

Definitely could be. You just never know.

[@tomj4506]

A pressure gauge of some sort ??

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks for the help with it Tom and I appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@bobkirk942]

3 months ago I was detecting a field where an 1820s home was found a 1859 braided large cent!! The trime too

[@FindingAmerica]

Huge congrats Bob and those are two great coins to find! Appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@benrus85]

Mystery find maybe that temperature gauge on on old ford radiators form teens and 20s

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

That old pocketknife looks like a Camilus - NY, I've got a few Camilus pocketknives and one of them looks a lot like that one you found. Clean it up good, and see if you can open a blade on it and look at the blade near the handle, see if there's a maker name on it. Anywho, good good stuff buddy, as always!

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks for the info Doug! I love finding the old pocket knives and I am always trying to learn more about them. Unfortunately, I don't think I am going to have much luck getting the blade open on this one. Appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@caseykc7abc499]

The picture you showed with the 1958 penny it was a double die!

[@FindingAmerica]

Yes it was! It's a very rare double die cent. Glad you spotted that one! Appreciate you watching! Take care and ATB Greg

[@newlanky2]

its a weight from a pendulam clock

Looked like a coin was missed below the face cream jar? Mystery item is drawer pull?

[@jeffroberts857]

Now that was a great hunt, it had everything from coins to relics to very cool oddities!!! I especially liked the cut Rosie. It looks like your back is doing better, very good to see. Take care in the heat and can’t wait for the next episode. Happy hunting Greg.

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks so much Jeff and really glad you enjoyed this one. My back is doing much better and I am really having to be careful and keep my hunts short because of the heat and humidity. Appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@jeanponce2017]

You know even on non nobel metal pocket watches like silver or gold still used real jewels to bushings or pivot points because they didnt wear down. There could be anywhere from 9, 11 up to like 17 jewels in each pocket watch. They're small chips but they're still authenic gemstones either sapphires or other hard stones like little ruby chips or what ever was sourcable at the time. At least they're supposed to be lol

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks Jean and they did use real gemstones in them but mine are probably entombed in rust forever! lol Appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@Brando_Magnifico]

The cut Roosevelt had me pondering. My imagination tells me that it was a quarrel amongst boys. The 4 of them wanted their fair share. Lol

[@Brando_Magnifico]

The pendulum on my old wind up clock has a similar knurled adjustment at the bottom. Seems right to me 😃

[@FindingAmerica]

Haha You never know just how that piece came to be. Appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks so much for the help with that Brandan!

[@leewise2281]

Do have any of those towels for sale

[@bartleylitts3112]

What an excellent variety of items that you found Greg! As always you're interesting and informative too! Hope that you're feeling better now! Later Bart

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks Bart and really glad you enjoyed this one. My back is definitely much better now and I hope it stays that way! Appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@troygavis6728]

Those folks must have been entertaining outside a lot? Not to insult your intelligence and you probably have already? But? Check that 55 Wheatie. There's one out there worth a pretty penny. Great finds, man! Fun times!

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks Troy and I always check those 55-P wheats. Unfortunately, this one was not a doubled die variety. One day I will dig one up! LOL Appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

[@FindingAmerica]

Very rare! Haha Appreciate you watching this one Randall! Take care and ATB Greg

[@Fried-Pig-Nipples]

Great hunt buddy! The quarter cut dime was my favorite. I think i will forever pester you until we see a single video of just your entire toy car collection. At the least a pic.😁

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks 👍 and I loved finding that weird little cut coin out there. Ever since I started the channel, I have kept the finds from each individual episode together in one tray. Now with almost 250 episodes, I have a lot of trays of finds stacked up and it would just be really difficult to pull all the toy cars from each tray for a group photo and then have to return them all to their correct trays. Hope that makes sense. Appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg
