Kep Valley Diggers
Canada
Приєднався 3 лют 2009
A small variety channel with growing content for all the places my brain wants to take me. I love finding stuff!!. Primarily metal detecting with bottle digging, river hunting, dump digging, insulators and exploring. Also hanging out in the Kepvalley harvesting the yummy stuff growing in the garden and the bushes. Did I mention metal scrapping as well? Lots going on here in Kepvalley!

Armed with the sniper coil, we get into the thick of it in the ridge bush at the old lake park and get some very interesting surprises and a couple of firsts!
Equinox 900 Debut at the old Lake Park!
Переглядів 5021 день тому
Finally taken the plunge on the Nox 900 so this summer can finally take the plunge in the water! Going over some previously pounded ground at the old lake park to see what can be eked out. Seems to handle EMI better in certain areas so was able to go over a particularly bad spot with ease and pulled something a bit larger and copper.
Fresh Eclectric Oil, preserved for 110+ years! Circa 1890's Hotel - Dump Dig Wednesdays #18
Переглядів 9921 день тому
A couple digs trenching along the base of the slope yields a few nice keepers but third times a charm when we hit into a lot of liquors and some nice meds! The trend continues with more sealed contents meds and this one is quite the stunner and smells as fresh as the day it was bottled!
BIG '5' and Silver Dime! First Hunts of 2024 at the Old Lake Park
Переглядів 12728 днів тому
Back at the old lake park for the first hunt of the year. No silver on the first hole dug of the year but we did manage to eke a deep squeaker of a one on the first outing and something pretty sweet on the next outing back on 'wreathed mound' where lightning does strike twice!
Triple Precious Night! Old Farm Park in Toronto - Gold, Silver, Relics!
Переглядів 85Місяць тому
One of the first hunts of 2024 and we're back at the old farm site that has been a park in Toronto since the early 70's. Out armed with the sniper coil in hopes of finding the little things where the ground is underlain by a deeper layer infested with nails and other iron bits from the farmstead days.
The 'Cure'! Med with Contents Sealed for 110+ Years! Circa 1890's Hotel -Dump Dig Wednesdays #17
Переглядів 853Місяць тому
The weather is starting to cool off into October but the water is warm isn't quite time to don the waders yet. Continuing to dig along the base of the slope into the undug buried old creek bed and it's giving up more goodies including another corked with contents med where the cork has kept moist and preserved for over 110 years! Neil continues to dig up further in a 1920's-40's hillside dumpin...
Surface Silver! Old Lake Park Bush - Last Hunts of 2023
Переглядів 168Місяць тому
Last few hunts of 2023 at the old lake park. A great opportunity arose in the very tough to detect ridge bush after a lot of dead trees were removed. Some tough swinging even with the 6" sniper coil on the Nox 800 but was all worthwhile with some nice old finds!
Circa 1890's Village Hotel Dump - Flooded Out! Dump Dig (every other) Wednesdays #16
Переглядів 405Місяць тому
Just as things were going great at the creek bank, we return to find that the dam has been opened to start the fall draw down of the lake level and our digging spot all flooded out. So we retreat to a bit higher ground at the toe of the slope and continue to work the digging trench along. Neil heads to even higher ground to work a section of 1930's-40's hillside dump.
Double Silver! 1890's Fairground Grandstand late Fall 2023

Bucket Lister, Silver and a Wee JD! Late Fall 2023 in Toronto
Переглядів 472 місяці тому
Work takes me to west end Toronto late in the fall of 2023 and I take advantage of the long dark evenings to put in some good swinging hours at a 50's neighbourhood park smack dab in a landing approach to the country's busiest airport! Some sweet finds are made and one quite unusual one!

Some great finds out of that property!! 👍
Looked like a good time, there were a few nice coins found. Nice KG6 quarter. ATB
Good stuff,was a fun day!
Cool video Darcy. Nice silver. Cool rosette pc. Curry comb was sweet. Good times. HH
Nice finds Darcy 👍🙂
Another sweet hunt! Looks like a great place to detect.
Cool finds thanks for sharing your hunt. Cheers.
Nice hunt Darcy!!!
Nice hunt 👍
Awesome hunt bud
Wow, they have clubs there😅. We have nothing in Nova Scotia. Nice hunt .
Fun filled hunt with friends is always a good day to be hunting.. Happy Hunting .. Peace
Danny
Hey Kep Valley ✌️ Nice hunt.
Thanks so much!👍😊 Take care and best regards!
Where does one find a locking plier like that? All the "heavy duty" ones at the hardware store are flimsy and cant crack the medium or large black walnuts, only the small ones with great difficulty
Great question! These are older ones and they just don’t make them like they used to. Probably better ones out there and would need to do some searching or a flea market with someone selling older tools. Good luck and thanks so much for checking this out!👍😊
Looks like a fun hunt for sure, thats a nice 21 dime....still on my find to do list
Thanks Dave!👍😊 Kind of thought the ‘21’s were a bit of a tough year to get. Last year until starting again in 1927 I believe. ATB and happy hunting!
Thanks Kaye!👍😊 That’s about right for sure! lol! Seems to be more in Canada but the brand was around in the US in the late 1800’s. A variation of the product is still produced and sold under the Fowler’s name. ATB and happy hunting!
Man, always great to find those silvers man. Looked like a nice property to hunt. Great vid once again Darcy
Thanks!👍😊 Even better that it’s public parkland! Man, those scouts sure were prepared ...... to lose a LOT of change ALL through those woods back in the day! Best regards and happy hunting!
Always a great time digging with you Darcy. It was a fun day and nice to both get a couple silvers. Look forward to getting out again soon. ATB
Thanks! 👍😊 Had a really great time and so cool the way we both struck silver at the same time! Hopefully I’m in the area with work later in the fall and we can do it again. Take care and thanks again for the sweet local med!👍
Nice Digging Brad!!!
Thanks Bill! 👍😊 Always a fun time digging with Brad! Best regards and happy hunting!
Nice dig. Have a great day 😊
Thanks and thanks so for stopping by!👍😊
sweet dig guys. One of these days i need to go detecting with Brad.
you mean I need to go detecting with Frank.
I need to go digging with you both!👍😊
@@kepvalley Dig Bash 2024!!!
Sweet hunt guys !!
Thanks!👍😊 Always a great time digging with Brad! ATB and happy hunting!
Couple of my favorite Canadian brothers and can’t forget MAER ether ! Great hunt gents ! 😎🐆
Thanks!👍😊 Been too long and was nice to get out swinging before he headed north for the summer. Take care and happy hunting!
Awesome to see you and Brad out detecting sweet finds ATB Jim
Awsome!
Thanks jimmy, always good to get out digging with Darcy. ATB
Thanks Jimmy!👍😊 Brad’s an awesome guy and super fun to hunt with! Best regards and happy hunting!
Nice dig, and find. Thank you for sharing and have a great day.
Thanks and thanks so so much for the support!👍😊
So many awesome finds Darcy.
Thanks Anthony!👍😊 Can’t wait to do some more digging there! ATB and happy hunting!
nice finds Darcy, cool insulator. ATB
Thanks!👍😊 One of my best ever insulator finds! Hopefully there’s another and it’s fully intact! ATB and happy hunting!
awesome digs Darcy :) think i may have found 2 of those purple insulators in Killarney but unfortunately broken😢 worth a pretty penny
Thanks J!👍😊 I have heard that Ontario was one of the few places these purples were found and sounds like a few ended up going there. Will definitely be holding out hope for one that at least has no glass missing. Take care and happy hunting!
Gins, whiskeys and meds. The liquor for what bothered them and the meds to stop the headaches the next day 😂 At 11:07 that is the 1st strawberry extract I've honestly we've seen anywhere 😮 cool find Neal/ Neil!!
Wow great looking bottles there cleaned up nice! The insulator crazy color wow 🤩👍😎🐆
Thanks! 👍😊 For some reason the stuff coming from out of the clay has been less etched. Hopefully we continue to find more stuff in it. ATB and happy hunting!
Super nice keepers Darcy!
Thanks Deej! Really hope to find a few more insulators, especially the rare one. Not sure why it ended up there amongst others. ATB and happy hunting!
Very cool Darcy!! Freaking love the old vintage insulators as being Canada's first Journeyman Power Lineman with MEA EUSA.... love them! Hope to see you this summer!
Thanks Alison!👍😊 So glad you enjoy them as much as I do! Hope you were able to come across a few nice keepers in your time there! The older ones have mostly disappeared on the distribution lines and so glad my father rescued a very rare circa 1911 grey two-part porcelain while working on upgrades of one of the first lines built by the HEPC out of Niagara Falls. Take care and ATB!
Some nice bottles guys. A shame about that CREB insulator. Glad you can still display it well Darcy!!. 👍😁
Thanks!👍😊 With insulators, they often came in a crate from a production line so hopefully there’s more in that colour around there but in a bit better shape. ATB and happy hunting!
wicked finds guys. looks like a great spot!
Thanks Frank!👍😊 Been a great older spot ! We just started digging a dump about the age of yours with some cool finds so far including a few milks and lots of embossed cobalt MoM’s. It’s about an hour’s drive and a bit smaller area on a wooded slope beside a creek with the majority of it under a sports field and a parking lot. There’s the older dump further downstream where we got a few keepers but overall very burned with most broken or melted. ATB and happy hunting!
Great gin bottle ! Some nice old meds. Cool 😎 ! Nice small spoon. Awesome insulator guys ! Fun dig and best regards !
Thanks Al!👍😊 Spot keeps on giving and hope to continue soon where we left off last year. ATB and happy hunting!
Cool bottles Darcy!!!
Thanks Bill!👍 Been really pleased with what’s come out so far! Take care and ATB!
Nice bottles & glass !!
Thanks Dennis!👍😊 Lots of glass for sure but will have to keep the eyes peeled for relics and maybe some coins. ATB and happy hunting!
Nice hunt and finds 👍
Nice few hunts. I love finding old cars and trucks and new ones too lol.
Thanks!👍😊 I would certainly agree with that! Take care and happy hunting!
Nice couple hunts Darcy. Cool old shell, sterling ring and a first year Eddie LC is always sweet. Back in the north. ATB
Thanks!👍😊 Don’t get too many older silver rings so was a nice surprise on that one. Pretty crazy on the other two finds! Hope the bugs don’t keep you from getting the goodies for too long. Take care, ATB and happy hunting!
That is great you found a beautiful ring
Thanks!👍😊 Really love that it’s a bit older too! Take care and ATB!
Fun Hunt with some history in it too.. Congrats on the Silver ring. Happy Hunting .Peace
Thanks!👍😊 Just love finding the military history there from War of 1812 era to early 1900’s. ATB and happy hunting!
You know your having a day when even the gophers are digging holes for you, very interesting hunt Darcy...all keepers
Thanks Dave!👍😊Lots of nooks and crannies there with potential but some that the brush is too thick to even swing with the sniper. Had some pretty good luck on the ridge though. ATB and happy hunting!
Awesome hunt Darcy :0 a pre dug large cent is always cool! and congrats on the shell :)
Thanks J!👍😊 The surface LC was super cool and was in pretty good condition other than being a bit bent out of shape. Military shell was super surprising being just under the leaves and since it was unfired, I wonder if the unexploded tip became detached from corrosion and is still around there. ATB and happy hunting!
Bests surface find I’ve ever seen lol
Thanks!👍😊 First surface LC and practically surface military shell under the leaves. Take care, ATB and happy hunting!
Another great hunt mate ⚓️👍🧲

Nice Nox 900 ! I went back to spots were I thought I hunted out with the Garret 400 and The Deus II found more for me ! Good luck and great finds I’m sure will be coming your way with the Nox ! 👍🐆🐆😎
Thanks!👍😊 Glad to hear the Deus deuce is treating you well! Some improvement on separation and has a little bit more umph in depth so have picked up a few that were missed before. TC, ATB and happy hunting!
Nice dig 👍
Thanks and thanks so much for checking it out!👍😊 Take care and ATB!
congratulations on the new machine Darcy :) it managed to sniff up a few finds
Thanks J!👍😊 A tough place for a trial run but great for doing comparisons! Need to get out more with it but been bottle digging more than detecting this spring. ATB and happy hunting!
