Thanks for the smoothly crafted video, no annoying beeps on while you talk, no excess talk about other subjects, no watching while you dig. You hold interest, while moving right along.
5:33 No no. You have it backwards, that IS a sickle, it would have had a 10"-12" handle permanently attached and used by one hand. A scythe blade is much more open and longer, fit onto about a 5 or 6 foot long staff and would be swung side to side with both hands controlling it.
The decorative iron I believe is from a wood stove. We had one in our farm house years ago and it had something similar to what you found. Nice video. Keep them coming!
Cool beans!!! Excellent haul. Would have loved to saved some of the boards from that old place . Wish you could have shown more of it, that old wood crate looked salvageable too. Great old photos in the vid too! Thanx!!! 🙏🏼☮️🌎. 👍😁
Thank you ButtonS, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It would have liked to gone inside but I didn't have permission to do that, and it was not safe, half of the floor was in the cellar.
Hello Steve :) Never seen that many keys dug at one time wow ! Awesome silver with the barber too :) Thanks for taking us along. Best of luck next time out. ATB - David
Great video! You had a great day despite all the trash on that property. That Barber Dime is beautiful and the key spill is amazing! Persistence, perseverance, and lots of hard work really do pay off! Jim Parry, Backroads Metal Detecting
I sure did like the video Steve so I subscribed👍 I love the humor, King Arthur crown☺️ I'm glad you found the 1893 barber, the 1910 wheat and the other wheats before they plowed it all away and covered it all up💯 Saving history, 14 keys at a time😄👊 Loved the location too! Thanks
Thanks so much Todd I really appreciate that you subscribed. Welcome to my channel. I also appreciate when viewers comment, like and share. Thanks for the kinds words about the old photos. I will always do that, I like researching them myself.
Steve, thank you for sharing this video. You picked up some great items. Loved the keys, marbles, and coins. Best of luck on your next hunt. P.s. the pictures of the items were wonderful..
I wonder if that store cut keys and those were the ones that didn't work and got dumped or given to a kid to play with. What a great hunt. I would head back after they bulldoze that location and hit it again. That large iron decorative piece I thought was brass knuckles before you cleaned it up 😆 🤣. Lots of great finds. My favorites were the Marbles, old local dog tag and Barber. Thanks for sharing Steve. Good luck, happy hunting and take care ✌️
CC History Hound, hey, “neighbor”, we’re in Winneshiek Co. Do you still detect the area? We’re looking for any local groups as there’s a lot of history in these areas.
@@rousingtherelics, hello 👋, yes I still detect the area. I was just up checking out an area in Decorah several weeks ago when it was warm for a few days. Lol that seems so long ago with the weather we have been having. I've got another place up there I'm going to be checking once it warms up a little. 👍✌️
I just found your channel, I used to work at RayOVac there in Fenimore for 26 years. I'm just beginning to get into metal detecting myself. Great video, thanks. Subscribed
Nice hunt! Congratulations on the Barber dime! I dug an 1899 Barber about two weeks ago. And the keys! I really enjoy digging keys. I keep them all. The 1910 wheat cent was also a nice find. The really old ones I dig here are usually very difficult to get a date from. I just found your channel, and I have subscribed. Cheers from Bridgeport, Connecticut!
Thanks so much for stopping by and subscribing Mark. I am really glad you enjoyed the video. Best of luck to you on your next Metal Detecting adventure.
i dig a park much to my surprise i went without my detector one day an 1901 crusty indian penny by tree on top of ground.ive searched that area before came up with nothing by that tree..? Someone being funny or another hunter found it and dropped it...?
Just found your channel while digging around looking for other ‘locals’ who enjoy detecting. Loved to see what you found in this area. We go up to Fennimore often in the summer - a favorite area of ours to enjoy the outdoors!
Hellow Steve, i love the way you make this kind of video hunting cleaning and then having pictures and info bout the piece..new friend from the Philippines.
Wow, that’s a lot of keys! I like the three hole versions. Reminds me of the keys to my grandparents house. I’m originally from MN but now live in AZ, and I still get back to MN a few times a year to go detecting. Subbed ya.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I agree, the 3-hole keys have a much better look to them. Welcome to my channel and I'm looking forward to reading your comments in the future. Steve
Your unknown "crown" looks like a device to keep rain from running down the stove pipe. Most are larger nowadays so I may be wrong. It could be a heat distributor to get more heat from indoor stove pipe.
That is crazy with the number of old keys that were in that small area 😮. Congrats on finding your Barber and the wheaties!! Some cool relic items also 👍
Great video, just stumbled upon your vids. You seem like a great guy. And your coins were awesome. I love finding nice coins. Im still waiting for my 1st barber. I just subscribed. Look forward to more. Great job from Salt Lake City 👍

@@shanehulburt5661 I definitely will let you know Shane. You are about 2 hours away so it's doable. In general I don't get up that way much, but you never know at this rate I will have to spread out a little to get permissions. lol
@@SWWisconsinMetalDetecting i don't get down your way very often either. My wife and I have been talking about touring the New Glarus brewery sometime but haven't done it yet. We always go north when we travel
I'm wondering if one of the owners over the years was a locksmith maybe? Nice hunt Steve! Congrats on the Barber!! Theres more hiding there, just need to weed through the trash ... as always lol. Thanks for sharing and all the best!
My father-in-law worked for Yale & Towne as did many people in the South End area of Stamford. This I believe would have been pre-WW2, or possibly right after. The plant was huge, about a mile from where my wife grew up.
Hey Big Ron. Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed the video. If you know of anywhere to metal detect down your way please let me know. My email is buster53809@yahoo.com. Leave message and your phone number. I will give you a call. Thanks for stopping by and commenting, I appreciate it.

Thank you, Bruce, for the positive feedback and commenting. I appreciate them both. I'm really glad you enjoyed it; I know I enjoy making them. all the best to you and take care.
Peggy, I don't think so. It is 2 or 3 miles out of town and there was a one room schoolhouse nearby. But you never know, someone could have brought them there and dumped. It's fun to speculate with all relics and coins and how they got in the ground.
I love finding items you know were personal and you can't get much more personal than a key. If it wasn't a kid who lost his junk key ring I bet someone looked all over for it and you ended up finding it for them perhaps decades later. You had a good hunt. My oldest dimes so far are 2 Mercury dimes which are _both_ 1944.
A sickle has an almost circular blade and a short handle-it’s designed to be held with one hand. A scythe has a long, slightly curved blade that’s attached to a long pole,
Congrats on the finds. I saw what you did there stating that it isn't going to be a seated. Trying to use reverse psychology against the universe. Congrats Steve on the hunt. Looked like fun. I laughed at "key date".
You are right with the reverse psychology thing for sure, it just didn't work lol. Always great to see your comments hear Badger 325. Thanks so much for watching and commenting, best of luck to you.
Wow that was swell~I subbed too. Say if you don't know mix some molasses and water put the iron in it and a few days the rust is gone..maybee ah little longer thanks much 🌠👍
New subscriber here. How far out do you guys go when netal detecting? I am 95 miles from Fennimore. Living on a century owned farm with basement dating to the 1860's. And a half a mike ftom an 1834 homestead as well. Both places had fires during their lifetime. If your not interested do you know of someone in the Freeport Illinois area I could contact?
Stephen That is so kind to offer to have me detect your homestead. That is a little far for a day trip. I am sure you have metal detectorists in your area that would love to detect there. If you want to keep what they find just let them know that before they come out to detect. Good luck.
@@SWWisconsinMetalDetecting Thanks much. I've got to get it done in the next few months or forget the whole thing. Moving from this area and will never return.
Couple nice marbles. Several nice coins. The custodian of some building or complex lost his key ring. Way too many keys for that little place. The tool you found by the stump is a sickle. A scythe is the big one. Thanks.
Being a rural store could the keys be for individual outdoor lockers for items delivered to a central location for more remote farmers and such? Maybe not for the post office but for delivery trucks that wouldn't be familiar with the area,like Sears or J C Penny and the like. I think official post office keys are stamped as such. 100 years ago maybe customers would pay a fee,get a key,then make the trip occasionally to see if their stuff arrived. The key cutting is probably a much better idea,but then why would they have so many differently cut keys? Wouldn't a cut key go with the customer? And why all Yale? It's easy to imagine a small store owner wouldn't have room in the retail building for all the inventory and might have another building but to have so many different keys he would have had to replace lots of locks. Of course during the depression years there could easily have been lots of broken locks and old keys got collected in a box. Half the fun of watching MD vids is guessing possibilities,at least it is for me. My old brain will get stuck on a subject and just keep going. Yyyyaaaagh! Let me out of here!! LOL. JK. Good video man. Liked.
Thank you OJQI, I think about the finds all the time. How they got there? How long where they there, stuff like that. I'm glad you enjoyed my video and I have an old brain just like yours. lol
My first find would be my father-in-law‘s class ring that was lost for over 45 years and I got to return it to him. The second would be another ring recovery and return to a coworker of mine that had lost his gold band over 10 years ago.
Dimes and pennies were not the insignificant sum that they are today.I believe that you could buy a steak dinner for about 5 cents around the turn of the century(1900).Even a penny had some buying power in those days.
hello Steve what a shame that they are going to bulldoze that building down.. if i had the time and resources i would take that building down board by board and repurpose all of those boards.. well good luck love the video... P.S. KEYS KEYS KEYS!!!
Thanks Steve, love the name 😂 I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I agree there is a lot of wood that could be repurposed there for sure. I appreciate you watching and commenting on my video.
I’m sorry I’m not sure on that. Maybe try watching a UA-cam video that shows tips on the brand of detector you own. You may find your answer there. I’m truly sorry I can’t help you. I am nowhere near an expert on Metal detecting.
Thanks for the smoothly crafted video, no annoying beeps on while you talk, no excess talk about other subjects, no watching while you dig. You hold interest, while moving right along.

Those really look like mail keys. Was that store/house a post office too by chance ??
Peggy, I don't think so. It is 2 or 3 miles out of town and there was a one room schoolhouse nearby. But you never know, someone could have brought them there and dumped. It's fun to speculate with all relics and coins and how they got in the ground.

I'm thinking the base of a glass lampshade on the crown find? 🤷

I think official post office keys are stamped as such. 100 years ago maybe customers would pay a fee,get a key,then make the trip occasionally to see if their stuff arrived. The key cutting is probably a much better idea,but then why would they have so many differently cut keys? Wouldn't a cut key go with the customer? And why all Yale? It's easy to imagine a small store owner wouldn't have room in the retail building for all the inventory and might have another building but to have so many different keys he would have had to replace lots of locks. Of course during the depression years there could easily have been lots of broken locks and old keys got collected in a box. Half the fun of watching MD vids is guessing possibilities,at least it is for me. My old brain will get stuck on a subject and just keep going. Yyyyaaaagh! Let me out of here!! LOL. JK. Good video man. Liked.
Thank you OJQI, I think about the finds all the time. How they got there? How long where they there, stuff like that. I'm glad you enjoyed my video and I have an old brain just like yours. lol
One of the residents must have been a custodian or property manager, and when they retired they just threw that whole key ring out the back door.
Very possible K Sully. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.

I'd be sauced by minute 5! 🤣 😂
Lol, I never thought of that. Very funny thanks.
Hey Steve what was the best two things you found ?
My first find would be my father-in-law‘s class ring that was lost for over 45 years and I got to return it to him. The second would be another ring recovery and return to a coworker of mine that had lost his gold band over 10 years ago.
It's like that was a miracle .
My 1st thought was he sold keys in that building .my second thought someone had lost their marbles.
I think both your thoughts are correct Steven. lol
Dimes and pennies were not the insignificant sum that they are today.I believe that you could buy a steak dinner for about 5 cents around the turn of the century(1900).Even a penny had some buying power in those days.
You are so right Ralph. I can't imagine what it was like back then if you lost a half or silver dollar.
You now have enough keys to make a very nice wind chime...
Great idea Sue, never would have thought of that. Thanks for the comment and watching.
hello Steve what a shame that they are going to bulldoze that building down.. if i had the time and resources i would take that building down board by board and repurpose all of those boards.. well good luck love the video... P.S. KEYS KEYS KEYS!!!
Thanks Steve, love the name 😂 I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I agree there is a lot of wood that could be repurposed there for sure. I appreciate you watching and commenting on my video.
congrats on the barber
Thank you Brenda. It was my best find that day.
those keys look like PO Box size keys . May be why there are so many
Great idea David, I had not thought about that. Thank you for watching and commenting on my video.
That dime is in really good condition
Thanks David, I was very surprised it was that nice. Thanks for stopping by.
That ring goes on an oil lamp i think.
I think you may be right, thanks so much Christina.
Sometimes I get a signal, nothing there I can find. Why is that?
I’m sorry I’m not sure on that. Maybe try watching a UA-cam video that shows tips on the brand of detector you own. You may find your answer there. I’m truly sorry I can’t help you. I am nowhere near an expert on Metal detecting.
@@SWWisconsinMetalDetecting No problem, just curious. I figure I need to do more metal-detecting to learn what's a signal worth digging for.
Nice Barbie!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting.
KEYS. Maybe on old hotel site..????
It very well could have been Buddy, I don't know much of the history of the old ground there. Thanks for commenting.
