What's Hidden at the Short Circuit House? (Metal Detecting an 1880's Famous Home)

This week I stayed at and metal detected the yard of the famous Short Circuit House at 197 Hume Avenue in Astoria, Oregon. I was not expecting to find such awesome treasures!

That was way fun, way cool, short circuit is such a great movie.

[@MUDSWAT]

I think one of those 80's coins could have been dropped by the cast or crew. As they could have been carrying a coin from before the filming date. What a cool place to detect and the finds are great! Happy Hunting!

[@ThisIsWheelLife]

"Hey laser lips yourrr mama was a snowblower!"

[@user-lu3dj7lj7l]

Your daddy was a pop machine...

[@MyScreenNameIsTroubledOne]

One of my favorite lines of all time. Me and my mom use to say that to each other all the time. It was like a little inside joke between the two us.

[@jeremyinthewild]

Haha too cool the Short Circuit house is still there!

[@angelshine64]

The thing you found at 16:10 could be carpenter trousers shoulder strap from 1950-80 that all kids used :) So nice looking house and area around, looks like you had a good day there GG with the Barber, great find!

[@MyScreenNameIsTroubledOne]

This was really cool! Love to see some detecting in other “famous” sites. 💪👍👍

[@teamsignal17]

That clip you found reminds me of a smaller version of the canteen belts that we used to carry in the military. Also similar design was on the belts of the Class A's. Keep digging Shane! 🍻...42%

[@wakeupidiotsnow2611]

What a great place to make a metal detector video. People used to burn trash and that corner of the lot looks like that’s the area they had their trashcan sitting which is Far enough away from the house. Trash is trash.

[@paulsdogwalking]

fishing net weight,, haha, you got me

[@ViviscruisenCoins]

So cool! 80's child here :D awesome finds. Maybe I will see the coins displayed when I go there!

[@ShirlBussman]

You're the ultimate adventurer imo! I couldn't click on this fast enough. I loved seeing the house and I can't wait until you go back. I really thought more would come out of that place. Thanks, Klesh! I don't watch the pay dirt ones, anymore. This was so interesting and fun to watch. Be well and keep that adventure spirit alive. 🤗🤗🥰🥰

[@davebooth5608]

“I had a wheat back bout a week back!” Great video!

[@patreasurehunters]

Nice hunt. Cool finds and site. Thanks for sharing. New subscriber.

[@stizzo1986]

Wow!! This is so 🆒. 80’s kid here, and I totally enjoyed this video. Nice finds also ❤.

[@GilbertLevesque-xv5mu]

The Canadian penny that you found is marking the Queen's Jubilee 50 years of rein

[@joannhempen8210]

Your channel is everything I love! I’m binging right now and loving it!!

[@chriscolwell2691]

Love that you came to my state...love short circuit...love your excitement...thank you for sharing and I am getting my metal detector out!!

[@robertharvey2335]

The clip looks like an old money clip like the one my grandfather used to have. Sometimes he would take it off his money and let me play with it when I was Young

[@Ltn.Immelmann]

This place was good for searching for treasures. This movie house is also a treasure with its magnificent setting. Well done, Shane 👍🤠

[@glentimmins7560]

That was a great movie! Cool finds too!

[@KrazyMitchAdventures]

OK... Going over to the other Channel now.. I wouldn't say I am a a Johnny #5 nerd, but it was a cool movie, in its day

[@brushitoff503]

Cool finds! 27:46 That's an Asthma Puffer, if its blue/Grey in colour it's Ventalin.

[@rustynail8484]

I am a metal detectorist and I enjoyed the video

[@briankrouch430]

Thanks for the "input " 😊

[@jackmahogovv]

That was really cool. I hope this can become a series.

[@superwalt2159]

Awesome barber dime and antique 1800's vape

[@g7eit]

I loved that movie. Wouldn’t it be cool if you found a bit of Johnny 5 😂

[@carlmclelland7624]

VERY interesting and different show, Shane. Thanks!!

[@stlrsmike]

At 15:50, that looks a lot like part of my belt buckle in the Army. On the other hand, it could be a backpack strap also. Definitely looks military.

[@tnut3305]

Congrats on the Barbie and IHP!!!

[@jidtorre]

I loved that movie.

[@D_A86]

This is awesome. Short circuit is such a cool film. Will defo check the other video. Innnput 😂😂

[@Ellis157]

Please if you go detecting please remember to fill your holes and take the trash with you .i know Klesh dose this with the most respect to the land and the owner of the property .

[@Squale-65]

Another great hunt ✌🏼

[@paulschroeter4987]

[@jabaricathcart7814]

Yes!!! Thanks for the detect video

[@Squale-65]

Great finds 👍🏼

[@roguedog6799]

That is fun, i love your videos.

[@bobkoroua]

Wow Shane, you must be living right 😂 I'm only in as far as the sixties steps and I'm already excited.

[@bobkoroua]

Fishing weight is from the lead line of a set net.

[@detectamericana]

Nice barber dime! The broken disk thing with writing looks like a 2 piece button, missing the shank. And sweet location! Love the videos

[@Klesh]

That totally could be a button thanks !

[@YogurtSnipe]

Awesome movie.

[@Ellis157]

you found a pot seal to plug holes in the cooking pots back in the hey day

[@MrBean5268]

Gotta love virgin ground... Great finds, Shane

[@yetimountaintrading5859]

Congrats buddy nice silver 😊

[@Bonzerknight]

Love the longer videos! Epic treasure hunt. Makes me want to go try to get a permission.

[@Clintreid75]

WOW! I only watched Short Circuit like three days ago, first time I watched since the movie came out when I was a kid! Awesome Shane 👍

[@JustinGrosz]

Another great video. Love the diversity of your content.

[@TarnishedViking.]

Nice finds!

[@LilleythWrites]

Awesome!

[@benjaminbryant2273]

What a fun video! Lots of good finds!

[@1983zoe]

Great vid!

[@Skarytrigger]

Very nice haul 👍

[@mattblose3872]

Nice barber shane!

[@williammccaslin8527]

Cool vid Bro. Glad you hit one of your bucket list items. Thx for the vid Klesh

[@jeffsnyder2453]

Congrats on an awesome haul!

[@kevinwilliams563]

Some really nice finds Shane. I am guessing you were up here to visit the Cape and get some black sand.

[@pauljefferies2091]

I tried looking for old bottles behind that house back in the early 90s. I never did find the outhouse. The old maps showed a much smaller house located there.

[@roamingearth915]

For some reason I needed to watch.......great name lol and spelt correct lol Thinking maybe a clip for suspenders ?

[@fionawharton1553]

Shane, congratulations on the Barber Dime and the Wheaties!!! Great Finds all around!! Always enjoy your videos and hope you have a chance to get out and do some more detecting videos!! Thanks and Stay Safe!

[@michaelsturgill666]

wicked cool video. thank you

[@matthewross3941]

So close to the Goonie's House TOO! It's on the other side of town.

[@ThisIsWheelLife]

That's awesome! I loved that movie growing up!

[@ScorpionMetals]

Heck yea! That's cool!

[@three6ohchris]

Astoria is such a cool little town. Goonies, short circuit, and Kindergarten cop were filmed there... And that's just the ones I know about. Lol. Anyway, I think it's really neat how someone bought the Goonies house and is letting people come up and see it unlike the previous owners. And that the owner of this house is letting people come and stay there as an Airbnb. It's great to know that there's tangible movie history that close to me. I'm in Vancouver, WA, which is right over the Columbia from Portland, and a short drive from Astoria.

[@three6ohchris]

So I did some research and besides Goonies, Short Circuit, and Kindergarten Cop... Into the Wild, Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles 3, both of the Free Willy movies, The Ring Two, The Guardian, Greenroom, Worth, and many many more have been filmed in Astoria as well. That's amazing. Never knew there were so many films there.

[@Moonsauc3]

Klesh! Such awesome finds. Soo many wheat pennies and also that barber! Very cool man

[@michaelcentola2683]

I Loved that Movie

[@alstewie67]

The clip reminds me of a suspenders adjustment clip.

[@OutdoorsInspired]

Cool place and nice finds brother! I use to always watch that movie when I was a kid.. awesome video

[@icychill105]

Wow Shane, always drove past that house when visiting Astoria. Cool to see you in an area I know

[@DetectaBull]

Nice

[@BawlzMahoney]

NEEEEED INPUT!

[@jameskenney5623]

I love collecting coins and metal detecting and for the life of me I have never found a wheat back penny. I found gold and silver rings and jewelry but never an old coin. And then you find all of these especially in such a historic site, jealous

[@lankywhiteguy]

That was awesome!!! Silver?! Really?! Omg. Treasure hunters wet dream

[@peterbarta1444]

Your mystery item vaguely resembles a corroded out button cell battery. Without touching it and only seeing it through the TV, that would be my guess.

[@woozie4972]

Love indian head cents!

[@JohnnySwedishScrapper]

i just found my garrett pro pinponter it good and great video ;)

[@darntootin6423]

Nice finds. I had the same jagged clips on my belts and suspenders in the early 80s. Not sure what they are called.

[@geraldcampbell6834]

That round thing that you can't identify is most likely a button cell battery!

[@ThisIsWheelLife]

Hopefully there are more famous places you can detect in the future! Thanks for taking us along man

[@UrMomplayz]

A tie clip or a hat clip 🤔 like those military hats with the emblem on it

[@ram2791]

I liked that movie way back then. Number 5 is Alive

[@ram2791]

That piece you said reminded you of military. Looks like part of the belt buckles we had in the Army in the early 80s. It clamped on the dead end of the belt so they were all one size fits all.

[@Klesh]

Yeah it does look like those

[@kurtbayson6240]

That barber dime is worth like 5 to 20$ dollars

[@darthrevan611]

23:18 kinda looks like a metal heel protector for boots.

[@Low-C-Laura]

I’ve seen The Goonies house but didn’t know this house was in Astoria too. Any chance One Eye Willy lost some rich stuff that hasn’t been found?

[@three6ohchris]

Lol, wouldn't that be nice. There were actually a bunch of movies that I'm sure you've heard of that were filmed in Astoria... So besides Goonies and Short Circuit, Kindergarten Cop, Into the Wild, Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles 3, both of the Free Willy movies, The Ring Two, The Guardian, Greenroom, Worth, and many many more have also been filmed in Astoria as well. It's crazy... I was born and raised in Oregon and even I'm surprised to see some of these on this list.

[@Pitbull.Prospecting]

Man Shane I know right where you are I lived in Astoria for around 5 years off and on seen all the movie houses and even some other less known stuff but maybe next time you are out that way you might wanna detect out at the falls in the back country out past lewis and clark

[@donaldscott7279]

Number 5 is alive!

[@josephknowles441]

Although you couldn’t search the site across the street, you did detect “sour grapes”. This video is great, like usual.

[@GOEBOT]

I’ve heard stories about Johnny 5 being a raging alcoholic and an absolute bare to work with. he’d constantly be getting drunk during film shoots and would throw his beaver tail pull tabs all over the ground! 😂

[@MrJudder413]

Cast net weight or a seam weight at 24:00

[@christopia4936]

I love this type of video 👏👌

[@Chronic_Relapser]

“Benjamin is my friend!” “Benjamin is nobody’s friend !”

[@RailPreserver2K]

I loved that movie as a kid, thought tell me have ypu been to the free willy house yet ?

[@smauls3794]

Looks like an old suspender buckle.

[@gavinhogg6552]

Lead weight looks like a net weight

[@VistaViews]

16:04 nah mate thats the adjuster clasp off grampas suspenders

[@tammycooper4403]

You went to Astoria OR - did you also get to the Goonies house? It's up there too.

[@Klesh]

Definitely yes I always walk up to the Goonies house every time I visit (about 3 times a year), but the Short Circuit house doesn't get the recognition nearly as much, so decided to give it a little bit of ♥

[@douglasramsey1303]

Was that a 2 piece clip to suspenders?

[@roguedog6799]

think chantrells are in season up there r/now?

[@okami9811]

The ruck sack thing was a clip for suspenders that hold up your pants imo
