The small key is a luggage key. The GM key is a automotive door key. FYI I am a retired locksmith. Lov your videos

[@propbraker]

GM key is a automotive door key? Geez, how’d you figure that out? lol j/k.

[@Randy-ry9ss]

The small key looked like like my locker key from high school.

[@DesignsbyDonBrown]

That same key fit the trunk on most cars.

[@mikevannattan9229]

Yes and those kind of keys were fazed out in the 80's weren't they? I remember my 1980 Olds had one like that but I don't remember my 89 Buick having one.

[@DesignsbyDonBrown]

Yeah. I haven't see one of those in a long time.

@@mc4906 the problem isn’t that they drink. It’s that they litter I’m a drinker but I always take my trash home and I pick up other peoples trash as well.

[@keithfred3321]

New England is pretty clean in general.

[@mc4906]

@@slickmuck4312 very true, if properly disposed of it wouldn't ruin places. But some folks think they need to drink literally everywhere. And people that are inebriated don't care about littering because they're impaired. Take a walk down any city or rural street and count the discarded alcohol containers and beer bottle caps.

Do you know how much those silver coins are worth?

A Barber? What a find! Can you imagine someone from that era peeling out of their period garb and cooling off just as those would do a hundred years later? Simply fascinating to ponder. Oldest coin I’ve found thus far is a ‘67 Washington quarter. Love the pure pleasure rendered from your finds.

Who burrys a fence?😂😁😀 My best find I think was finding a ladie's grandmother's ring ! I searched a long time in the park for it while the grand-daughter was there & came back really early the next day. When that nice lady got her grandmother's ring back (her grand mom had just died) that was THE best !!! day ever !!! She wanted to pay me but seeing her tears of joy made the hrs of searching all worth it & I'd never charge money to find stuff like that. Like you, I do it for the fun of 'trying' (luck) at finding 'something'. Many times ya find nothing or find 'junk', but ya never know what you might find & that's the fun of it. Good luck on your 'hunting' & stay safe.

[@RiverDocs]

You were a seated coin away from a grand slam!! That place somewhere along that creek has to be some gold/silver jewelry and more silver coins. Without all the trash all you have to do is find the spot below the swimming hole where that water pooled up in floods. Maybe even up along the banks at a bend where the water washed when flooding? Great spot for sure. I could spend days hunting up there following that creek! Great video!

Up there in Vermont you should get permission for some old churches they are Hot Spots! people carried money for the plate and for cake walks and after church events.
