Hello it’s me again. Good morning to everyone. I really enjoyed the video. I know that I’m not the sharpest pencil in the box but I do love those blue bottles. I have to go get Bessie out of the bird feeders so stay safe say hello to the family for me.

A lot of great finds there especially at the thrift store and making a nice profit. Thank you for last weeks info on how to clean some of the coins you find. Really helpful as I probably would've damaged a valuable coin if I ever found one. Happy weekend.

Hellooo from Ioooowa, great music at the beginning, Kenny G I believe. Tired of snow here. Your beach looked so awesome. Watching women’s wrestling this week, I have a young college friend made it to the semi finals . Always exciting. Your video was great, lots of fantastic finds. Finding the other half of the bracelet was amazing. Keep safe out there. Hope your family and brother are doing well. See you next week.

[@underthesurface4435]

Oh, Matt…thank goodness you found that amazing small flat lead toy that I had dropped! I can’t thank you enough. 😂 Ok, seriously, how unique does that look? I’m glad that that waited for you to find…a great new home 💛

[@underthesurface4435]

Lol, you keep dropping them I’ll keep finding them, lol, this one is in pretty bad shape, kind of pitted like it took an acid bath, strange.

[@christineg3887]

@@underthesurface4435 Yea, well, that probably happened because I dropped it from a really, really tall ladder. So tall. That's how it got pitted.

Good morning Matt! I think that sea gull was guiding you through the week to all your hot spots! 3 hours to explore in your “playground” indicates a great amount of support from your wife! But who wouldn’t support searching for treasures from long ago “Under the Surface” in such a beautiful and stress free environment!! Stay well and warm out there!

[@underthesurface4435]

Hi Karin!!!, you said it…. a very understanding wife for sure.

[@jacque06henderson57]

[@underthesurface4435]

Thanks my friend

[@cathymora9106]

Good intro music. That saucer you found looks like it came from a '50s diner - plain and chunky!

[@underthesurface4435]

Thanks Cathy and good guess on the saucer, that makes sense.

[@susancousins8766]

Great day for you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I am amazed that you found another part of that bracelet 😮 who does that??? Only my dear friend Matt, you always amaze me it’s incredible! Those thrift finds were awesome did you happen to sell them? I actually went to 3 different thrift shops but couldn’t find anything appealing. Although, someone donated chickens 🐓 I mean to tell you they were on just about everything they started putting out. Metal, pottery, pictures, bowls and dishes I think there were more but I wasn’t staying. I am only 4 11” and women went nuts almost knocked me down. Geesh! I did enjoy your lark I liked the cobalt blue tiny bottle and the other wasn’t bad. I wish that coke was intact that would have been very nice. The last find red and white swirls was beautiful try looking that up if it has maker on it. May be worth looking into! Have a great week Matt and take good care of yourself.

[@underthesurface4435]

Thanks so much Susan, yes those thrift stores can get competitive when the right clientele are there, keep your guard up. I guess chickens sell.. lol. Thanks for checking in , always a pleasure.

🎼🎵🎶Good morning, Good morning 🎼🎵🎶. Great trip to Goodwill. Wow 😲 other piece of bracelet 😮. Some information on the butler eagle tray. Was also called butlers ash tray . You see them used in some old movies by a butler. On back L. Hitchcock CONN is Old way for Connecticut. I looked up, and found Lambert Hitchcock, of Hicksville Connecticut. Too much to mention, but that’s definitely CONN for Connecticut. Don’t believe it’s that old as the 1820’s Hitchcock chairs. Anyway, love my Under the Surface video. Waiting on a Nor’easter for us Monday into Tuesday. Oh boy, another storm for you. Joyce ❤️🙏🇺🇸

Hi Jen, I believe they are mallards, could be wrong though, and unfortunately the dumping here did not stop till the 70’s/80’s. So much plastic. Thanks for checking in.
