Metal Detecting New York's Most Popular Swimming Hole

[@conscience-commenter]

If more people were as responsible and caring as Nora, the world would be a much better place .

[@WDMTAdventures]

Shows what an amazing person you are, going out of your way to find the person that owns that phone. It's so enlightening that there are still good people in this world.

[@i976scirocco3]

The way the leaves were moving in the water when you found the phone was really cool. Pulling all the trash out of the water you're doing us all a huge favor. Thanks

[@NoraSvet]

Thank you🙏

[@DennyT71]

Hi Nora. Just wanted to say what a wonderful person you are. To return the lost property to the ones who lost it shows a degree of selflessness that's a very good person. YOU ROCK!!! Woohooo!! We need more people like you. You're also an attractive young lady. Bless you, and thanks.

[@Reth_Hard]

Yeah, I agree with you... I'd like to be able to metal detecting her bikini. Who knows, I might find some piercings? OK... I have to admit it, sometimes I even disgust myself... :P

[@daveflowers3070]

Nora, you can absolutely clean that stone and use it over and over. should literally last forever.

[@NoraSvet]

Yeah I just have a hard time removing the scratches 😅

[@jan-reiniervoute6701]

Some judicious sanding with fine grit wet or dry sandpaper should work.

[@angievincent3416]

I really like how you show all the things you found at the end and will tell us what kind of metal they are and if the diamonds are real or not!

[@23gatorchick]

It's awesome you were able to return the phone & super nice of you too. That lion pendant is badass 👍

[@alljunk4824]

pretty cool that you are returning the valuable items. These little flies we call them 'no-see'em' as in they are so small you cannot see them but yeah they literally bite a chunk out of you, nasty.

[@harrysurtees8710]

Hi Nora. Each time I watch you, I'm wishing every person in the world was as sweet as you. Sweet and awesome adventurist.

[@Quacks0]

Nice that you returned the phone; I always try to do that, too. P.S. Love how you "label" each find in the lower left-hand corner, and how you add the little "clinking coins" or "cash jingle" sound whenever you find a coin. :D

[@abelgarcia6562]

Thank you for your public service ! I was able to return 4 high dollar phones last year . I think I kept up with you . I love seeing the excitement when I return a lost treasure .

[@johnathanw2565]

My entire family are treasure hunters.. My grandfather started the regional treasure hunters club not too too far from you. We do dredge and regular detecting. fun stuff...the best part is returning things to people that have been lost for years!!...and finding gold and silver, of course :D

[@reillythompson664]

Having owned the same model of GPS, I can understand how someone got to the point that they threw it into a swimming hole.

Yeah, they got tired of having another woman trying to tell them where to go! 😁😁😁

[@SDMacMan]

Not only tossed it into the abyss, but smashed the hell out of it before they did. 🤣

[@Pulseczar1]

Those Garmans sure were great before I had a phone that could do the navigation. It sure beat using a paper map and watching for road signs. I believe we still have ours and it still mostly works. I remember when we last used it, it was getting to where it was freezing on us. The touch screen required pushing with your fingernail or it wouldn't detect you touching it. It was like that from day one. As far as I could tell, it looked just like the one she found.

[@nathanlambert1502]

Lmao 😂

[@Jeff-S]

Couldn't help but notice Rt 55A. I used to live in Stone Ridge. Near Rondout Creek.

[@bottlecappoppie7812]

Nora, the lion head jewelry is likely stainless steel. The various acids you have are used to determine the karat of what you already know is gold. It does not screen for gold/no gold. Stainless steel will pass the acid test like 22K gold. You need either an XRF device or measure the density of the piece to determine whether it is gold or not. I learned this the hard way when I had a beautiful "white gold" ring that tested 22K but was far to light to be gold....broke my heart. You can measure density using a jewelers scale and a small container of water. There is an episode on Bottle Cap Poppie KZbin channel and also on Fun with Jim KZbin. Good luck, I hope it really proves to be gold.

[@MetalDetectingDonna]

I didn’t know that!! Now I’ll have to check mine with stainless steel to see how it works. Thank you for the information I appreciate it!

[@Treebronx]

You could check a cooking pot for the color stainless steel would have a look to it

[@danny6816]

She found that in the June 18 2020 video

[@jimbobxcityguy5338]

Different grades of ss out there so beware if that makes a difference

[@skorpian34]

I'm guessing that submerged silver would develop some patina/oxidixation. Gold and stainless will not?

[@erichumphrey4094]

Black flies are just outright vicious in the early summer that area. I use a LOT of OFF when I'm out there with my camera. In the last couple of years, Peekamoose has seen an explosion in popularity (since COVID)... you used to be able to go there any weekday without a permit, or weekends with an easy to get permit, but now it's jam packed 7 days a week during the summer and they've had to station rangers there to check permits.

[@MetalDetectingDonna]

It looks like a beautiful spot. So many of them around here. ❤️

[@carllafrance5510]

Hi Nora awsome video ! The narration on your power station is right on ! Being portable is pretty cool ! Anybody looking into solar it would be a good way to go to immediately experience the advantages ! and scale up if they needed more ! I have solar and been off the grid for years ! Zero energy bill ! I am not hooked to the grid any body with a larger system could have the utility send them a cheque each month ! I continuously have people that have switched over come up to solar and wish they had done it sooner ! Last weeks video on the long beach on France to cover it properly with the depth change With the tide would take over 20 dives ! Getting bit in the bush is one of life's little joys ! Number one rule in the Bush ! Bring toilet paper ! Number two rule in the Bush Bring toilet paper ! After that compass bug spray phone etc. World is facing a medical emergency ? Buy toilet paper! Was kind of scary at the start of the video with the camera arm pointed forward out the window ! I had a quick flash of it whipping back or hooking something. Thanks for explaining how they grade gold with chemicals And HAVE A GREAT DAY !

[@NoraSvet]

Yes the solar generator is amazing! I've really put it to use over this past year and I'm loving it. Awesome that you've been off grid for so long👏😃

[@stantilton2191]

Great video and finds. Good you retuned the phone. Looks like the same black flies we have here in Maine found you. Some people swell up with allergic reaction as well. They really suck.

[@jamesremington8354]

very sweet return ,we need more people on this planet like you keep it up :-)

[@NoraSvet]

Thank you James 😊

[@kurtledesma5993]

Great video! I was on vacation in Germany years ago and we were eaten alive like you were by what looked like big mosquitos! I had bite scars for months afterward.

[@IMOUT]

Great episode, loved that phone return part. Sometimes it feels that the greatest feeling is when you can find the owner and return their belongings, not the value of the item. Last year I found a phone at the beach searching with metal detector, I was happy to find it. Then, searching for the owner, finding him and shipping it made me feel so good 🙂

[@NoraSvet]

Best feeling isn't it? Well done 👏 😃

Yes! The underwater squeal of glee!

[@Davett53]

In the Summer of 1970, a buddy and I went to a favorite lake in Ann Arbor, near the University of Michigan. The semi-humongous lake had been drained, months before we arrived. The lake bed was mostly dried,....but still gave way beneath our feet,.....(we thought the lake bed looked like semi-dried cake). There were tons of treasures around all the docks. Easy pickings! We found many coins, jewelry and sun glasses from every era. Keys by the 100s. And fairly well preserved "collectibles". Steel milk cans like would be used at a diary farm, a mostly intact wicker baby carriage,....something from the early 1900s. My best find that I still have,....a Disney cartoon character,.....sitting in a 1930s era toy car, the wooden wheels were still intact.

[@amonshumate4957]

[@Flyfish325]

Jokingly referred to as the “Maine State Bird,” black flies are one aspect of the Maine outdoors that most people would prefer didn’t exist. Dotting the air in early spring, these tiny bugs have an annoying habit of flying into people’s eyes and ears. And their bites can be especially itchy.

[@Wreckdiver59]

Great video, the lion pendant is more likely stainless. It passes the acid test. Or it could be gold plated so make sure you scratch a second time on the same area of pendant to get to the metal underneath and test again. No stamp and very large so it is more than likely too good to be true but it's still very cool. That spawn action figure is cool too and may be worth more than the lion pendant shockingly.
