This crazy ABANDONED house has something explosive inside … But why?

[@kathystockbridge7093]

Hi guys! The piece of furniture is called a roll-top desk. Desk made by Abner Cutler r and son who started off as cabinet makers in the late 1820's. They specializes in rolltop desks and by the 1850"s had been granted seven patents related to the desk's mechanism.

[@conitorres9774]

Your videos came up on my recommendation list and I am so glad they did. You two are hilarious, I haven’t laughed so much. I love going with you to those old houses and seeing all the vintage things. Like Matt, I think it’s a shame that all those items are just going to waste, or into the garbage. I think they should go into a museum. Thank you for all your hard work and for taking us along with you. Watching from Brooklyn, NYC.

[@yvonnemorris6397]

The replica map showing Todmorden in Lancashire must've been old. Todmorden hasn't been in Lancashire since 1888 when the boundary was changed. The old Lancashire/West Yorkshire border used to run through the gent's toilets in the town hall 😆😆. So glad we're in Yorkshire now !!! Top video again... shame it's in Lancashire 🤣

[@istenochick13]

Glad you're back home. Exhausted I'm sure! Thanks for making a video for us still! Appreciate you both! ❤

[@hannahfuller2232]

Dying laughing at the fact that Andy was just like F it with the “explosive” thing and you were losing your shit lmao. 😂😂😂😂

[@andrewjones7634]

The little metal thimble type things in the desk are to put the ring in off the racing pigeons returning from a race its put into a special clock and it marks the time to see who wins the race

[@emmafarr770]

I just have to let you guys know that If I could pick the perfect family you Mattand Andy you would be in my family you are family to me you make me happy you make me smile you make me smile and when you're not on I miss you God-bless you both and your families yes yes never stop doing what you're doing you have a lot of people who care about you now Much much love

[@keeboha43]

I've been doin a "Beeper Binge" lately and lovin it... Cheers 🍻 Mates 🤙🏼

[@kassiopiajudkins2722]

To those who were wondering- 24:38 This is a tourniquet The wooden pieces in the first-aid box were splints. The cold cream can be used to clean skin, moisturize and remove makeup. (I use Ponds cold cream as my makeup remover.) I'm not sure how else it would be used for first-aid. That box was a treasure trove of awesome finds. I loved all the different tins and bottles. I don't know how you guys resist rescuing some of these finds! I guess you guys are just better people than most.😉 Edited to add- One of these days Andy needs to be the cameraman and Matt can be the one who's constantly being commanded to "pick it up" "turn it around" "other way" "no, the other way, you nonce"... That sounds like good payback for Andy. Poor guy is constantly being ordered around.

[@tracycraft2971]

That would actually be really funny for them to switch roles!! We would all be laughing, including Matt and Andy!!

[@rosebooth7367]

The letter that you thought was about horses was actually about pigeons... £200 for one bird in the 1960's!!!!

[@nelsaf365]

Matt and Andy are very good friends; they are open with one another, I have seen. Matt, empathetic and high energy, is not maliciously mean to Andy, who is mellow. They're just good together.

[@denisewatson5295]

Thanks for the video. Stay safe 👌 👍 🙏 ❤ 💓 💙

[@dlw3156]

Happy to say new talent is coming forward in regards to making furniture that isn't big production. Sad to see such treasures left to rot. Families used to have more pride in their heritage. Much appreciation 💛

[@dianne11ca]

I think it would have only been right to rescue that coronation book.

[@gemmanicholson6102]

Missed exploring video. Can’t wait for this explosive video x

[@geraldtrigg1063]

Great video , guys , The bureau Is called a ROLLTOP., glass is from a mantle clock , The shears are Called Dragging shears , Gun case is called LEG OF MUTTON , Embassy coupons were collected U saved up so many to get items from a catalogue , MATT ,daily papers are now £ 1:80 each Sunday papers are £ 2: 10

[@valproton3841]

The desk with the roll top is called a secretary, The two tongs are for tagging animals. The tongs with pins is for ID tattooing, was used before tags were invented.

[@louannmadden2906]

The round glass with the hinge goes to a mantle clock.

[@janineryan6754]

Really glad your both back safe and sound. Good one this week xx

[@HammyHunting]

Love your videos lads, you have a good auld rummage without all the ghost rubbish, proper exploring 👍🏻 I remember my Aunt collected embassy tokens in the 60s and you bought stuff out the embassy catalog for hundreds or thousands of points. Keep up the good work guys Stay safe 👍🏻

[@audreyharalambos2592]

there was a shop near our house who used buy coupons off you me and brother would pinch a bundle now and again and sell some and buy sweets they never knew as they were both chai smokers at the time lol

[@andrea050405]

OMG these need to be in a museum is there no way of reporting this to a museum in London or somewhere to save these items it’s such a shame to see them just sat there!!!

[@gayemorgan4575]

G'day Matt and Andy, you guys have given me a much-needed laugh. I have "Vicks VapoRub" sitting right in front of me now. I wonder when it was changed from "Vick" to "Vicks"? I also have a tube of Savlon. I love how you guys rummage, the things you find are awesome. Another awesome video. Get some rest guys, cheers from Australia.

[@lyndseytaylor5895]

I love how they rummage I've not really seen anyone that does I love it when they show us the details of the forgotten treasures ♡

[@lindatimmons3675]

Vicks Vapo Rub has lots of good uses. I didn't know how many .......

[@bradlong7651]

£200 in 1966 works out £4,141 today, a a fair few quid. Great video guys, so entertaining

[@rosebooth7367]

... Embassy vouchers- you saved them up and you'd receive a catalogue of things you could swap them for. Radios, ,Stereos, watches, toys all manner of stuff. My grandma got me my first Timex watch using them (1966 baby same as you Andy, my dad always told me that England won the world cup by way of celebration!) . Some stuff you could get for 50/ 100 vouchers .. the top end stuff would mean collecting thousands.

[@jameysmith-colbert6937]

I wouldn’t say Andy is a pervert…..he’s a provert….he’s professional at it now!!!😂

[@abiknight2549]

My mum said the patterned glass bottle in the cupboard is a ribena bottle she remembers them from she was a kid

[@DeniseLaFranceCDNpainter]

38:47 That lovely blue milk glass vase is collectible.

[@eleanastclare]

Wow! What good finds! Lovely place! Such a shame it is all just dying away..😕 so glad you are back! Please get some rest. Ya both look properly washed out! Thanks for keeping going for us!💕

[@lindacrum7317]

I LOVE BOTH OF YOU GUYS AND BEAR TO YOU ALL ARE A GOOD LAUGH I LAUGH MY ASS OFF AT YOU 2 SO KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK

[@FINDERSBEEPERS]

Aww thanks glad you are enjoying the channel

[@Knockseekfind]

Love the video it’s great love and prayers to Andy and his family Thankyou Matt and Andy ❤️‼️💯

[@exploringdevoncornwallu.kh8828]

looking forwards to it love you guys

[@sharonzz3840]

Cold cream in a first aid box. Mmmmm makes you wonder ! Flat board maybe for fractured limb to support it with bandages wrapped around until they found a dr. MAYBE...

[@anvilbrunner.2013]

18:00 Deflagration devices for clearing burrows or warrens. A bit like a flame thrower. Usually set against moles or rats.

[@Kaz-ey6en]

Fab video Andy & Matt you two have me in stitches x

[@vedahine2694]

😂 I love that newspaper 😂 It’s been a long time since I’ve seen one like that! 😂

[@patriciapugsley4435]

Its called a roll top desk

[@mitchchardonnay]

Yes. Sirrrrrrrrr, so enjoyed this one Matt, and Andy! Get your rest of cause, looking forward to the next adventure, boys! Love Watching from New Zealand with Love.

[@susanrawson6318]

Good to have you back home xxx

[@GrettaHam]

Oh No explosive ? And that is Andy's "what have you been eating" face can't wait to see if Matt is the one blowing this place up 🤭

[@nigelstringerNVS]

🎉 congratulations for coming back on your channel guys, you do look washed out but hopefully you will get rest soon. Now watching this fabulous looking video. Xx

[@simonholman419]

Yay, looking forward to an exploring vid!👍🏻👍🏻

[@dianepennock9941]

Desk is 'Cutler', in good condition it would be worth about £700. It's around 1910-1920. Very nice!

[@bettybrown7559]

I really laughed about the pidgin nasal drops!! 😂😂😂. Awe, Matt, I don’t really think you’re mean to Andy a lot off the time. 😂. This was a really good find. I lost some of my comments that I head before. I love you both…keep us in stitches!!

[@sharonzz3840]

Oh the corination book should be saved. Stuff the rules , I know there would be other like it but it's terrible to leave that sort of history behind.

[@porkchopspigsty]

Glad your back and safe, great vid 🤙🏻

[@pipperoooo]

Vicks here in America 🤗

[@LostBuildings]

Awesome video again! Love watching your content

[@Snazgob]

Another great vid :-) and just because I’m sad I worked out that £200 in the 60’s works out at £5,120 lol

[@denisemeehan688]

Looking forward to this weeks video.

[@ExploringUndercover]

33:51 no mean to brag but I'm on that tree 😂 King Henry VII is my great X18 grandfather. We traced back to King James V of Scotland and he's my great X16 grandfather. After that it just spirals. William the conquerer is one of my greats but it's some stupid number..... It gets pretty incest. Henry VIII is a great grandfather/uncle so it's nothing to be proud of 😂

[@anigotasor9294]

Omg...when you say "Hi" at the start of the show, I just giggle. So fun! ❤it! Lol!

[@CarmenRodriguez-xm1dw]

Andy goes BOOM!

[@eleanorcurrie5969]

Wow! Embassy vouchers! You would get a 5 token with a twenty pack and a 2 token with a ten pack of cigs. Save them up and take them to the Embassy shop where you could buy household items with them. I remember them well as my dad smoked Embassy and my mum saved the vouchers for something they would need for the home. Gosh! What a blast from the past!

[@LittleBird777]

😂 Brilliant! 🤩 made me laugh at the firework in the first aid box 😅

[@lindatimmons3675]

Those 2 " hole punch" looking items are possibly ear tag piercers for cattle, sheep, and horses. The first aid kit could be for animals, but I do not know.

[@jimmywilliams1621]

This looks great can't wait definitely need more videos I only noticed your videos couple of weeks ago killed neatly all of them off lol

[@lucywebber3588]

That's a ribena bottle when they were glass because I recognise the raindrops at the top 🔝 a lot stronger than we get nowadays 💪

[@weedfreer]

you know the fireplace you didn't like? Well, did you notice the Kandinsky'esk late 60s wallpaper around it? Looks proper funky

[@eileenpayne715]

Another excellent explore 🎉🎉

[@snowman3630]

THIS WAS HILARIOUS GUYS , BUT THAT MEDICAL KIT WAS COOL SHOULD BE IN A MUSEUM , THAT ONE WAS A REALLY OLD SPLINT , THESE PLACES ALWAYS MAKES YOU WONDER WHO THEY WERE , OK MATT SHOULD MAKE AND EAT SOME OF THE OLD JELLO SINCE HE EATS NASTY STUFF 🤣 TAKE CARE BROTHER'S 🤘🤘

[@renishastory1428]

Oh no!!!! I used to have a thing for roll top desks, and usually when they are made (at least with the older ones and mine was almost exactly like the one you guys are oogling maybe a bit older and made of the most wonderful smelling cherry wood!!!) there's a seal made of metal around the side or front that will usually boast about the day or at least the year it was made. But this thing would be heavy and probably hard to move!!!

[@cazzawazza9553]

You guys never fail me too have a laugh 😃. 3 minutes in about the nasal spray for pigeons and I'm gone 🤣🤣

[@miaace5070]

LOLzzzz it says explosive with an EEE put it down!!! As he pulls the pin. heeeheehee scary guys!!! = I

[@karengooding240]

Another great video guys love you both from Karen xx

[@essy5610]

Lads! The comb you found right at the beginning was a nit comb! Oh I recall it every Saturday night in the sixties _ and I had long hair! Thanks mum - at least I didn’t have nits lol xxxx love youse xxxxx

[@belindamackey482]

Great video guys you guys are awesome

[@amyclarke1437]

Great video guys, Matt was a little bit nicer to Andy but probably because he was a bit tired lol! Very funny banter between you though! Was cool you found the photo of the trophy! 🏆that "Sports" magazine 🤣looking forward to next video. Think I'm pretty much caught up now!

[@miaace5070]

@ 3:28 That looks like a rifle scabbard for a saddle, we use those on the ranch.

[@Kaz-ey6en]

We used to have a cocktail cabinet like that

[@tracywillis100]

Let’s go!!! Can’t wait for Sunday! 🎊 🎉 ❤

[@karenwright4587]

Cannot wait for this one 😍

[@gracedenton3737]

Dilligaf fantastic word used to use it quite a bit haha

[@kathleencook4674]

That was fantastic, I especially liked the old map because it shows the area I grew up in, I lived about 4and a half miles from Bury and 4 miles or so from Rochdale so I know both towns well, When I watch your premieres I always write down like the William P Hartley's Jelly because I remember when ithe packaging looked like that, thanks guys I absolutely loved this this, I can't wait to see the Morocco videos I just know they'll be epic

[@paranormalwien]

What's in that box ?!? WHAT'S IN THAT BOX ?!? 😬

[@darkenedpixi7693]

The glass hinge piece looks like its for like when they used to save hair from someone whom passed. I cant remember what they call it. But youd braid the hair and put it in there

[@mariatracieb]

Oh jeeeez you 2 get worse honestly 🤣 brilliant video and I have never heard of nasel drops for pigeons 🤣 glad you are both back safe & sound plus didn't watch videos of you both doing road trip to mareckesh as I have not been to well with my mental health problems so got loads to catch up on.... anyway Glad everything went well love this video love you guys fantastic stuff xx

[@cazzawazza9553]

My best bit was the pigeon nasal drops 😆

[@marcycollinshtd4life]

[@joannakomoroczy5016]

The large knob shaped container is a 50/60ml syringe case, commonly used for large animal medication 😊

[@Carol......]

Got this notification and I was a bit scared to come in case you were wearing a dress again or something. All looks normal lol, so I'm going to settle down with a cuppa and watch, looks like a good explore 😊👍

[@weedfreer]

did you see the 60s wallpaper on the wall in the background when you were thumbing through the chequebook by the way? 🙂

[@dianafreeman419]

24:35 that looks like a tourniquet

[@lucywebber3588]

[@myrescuecats3028]

Guys the rubber rings were used to apply to pigeons feet than the birds would be delivered to say America France Spain then released and that’s where the name homing pigeons comes from.Once the bird is caught the rubber ring is remove then placed in an aluminium capsule place into the pigeon clock
