I worked for a safe smith off and on when he needed help on big jobs and I probably have opened a couple thousand safes of all shapes and sizes and one thing that never ceases to amaze me is what you will find in an old abandoned safe. One of the oddest ones was when the safe smith I worked with off and on got a call to open 20 safes inside a house of a elderly gentleman who had dementia and his kids finally moved him from his house to their house because of his declining health. Anyway this old Victorian style house was every bit of 6,000 square feet inside and had an entire wing of that had nothing but 14 10*12 rooms and two full bathrooms and in every room was a safe about 2/3 the size of the one in the video as well 2 other jewelers style safes and two more extremely large safes that were in the basement. Anyway the job turned out to be easy because above each safe written in pencil was the combinations for each safe writing in a shaky hand written that we guess the old man who owned the property had written down so he could remember the combo’s which actually is not as unusual as you might think. That said every safe in this house was filled with cans of Maxwell house coffee. The story we latter learned was as this gentleman’s mind was going he thought the caregivers taking care of him were stealing the coffee so he would lock it up in the safes. I kid ye not but there was a one can of coffee that was 25 years old. The real hoot is on the top of the largest safe in the basement was a cardboard box with 50,000 dollars in it most of which were new bills still in federal reserve bank wrapper bands and a fair bit were silver certificates.
I grew up in the coal region of PA. I do sand mining now on the Easternshore of Maryland. But back in the 90s I remember a demo crew found gold coins in a wall of the building from the 1700s in mount Carmel pa. The demo crew and owner at that time 90s ended up going to court fighting who would get the gold coins. Not sure what happened but I believe the owner ended up with it. Long time ago lol. You just never know what you will find in a demo job
@@morrisbatdorf5694 Good. You can't just keep shit you find on other peoples property. That would be like if I came on your property and you had a car sitting in the barn for 20 years an I took it. That's theft, no matter how long it has been there.
Had to chuckle at the health and safety observation when you picked up that 4x4 to 'use as a ladder' and reminded me of the military service back in the day when getting stuff done was important.
Awesome video as always Mr Digg! Thanks for sharing all that goes into having a landfill. Hopefully it's a busy yet not hectic labor weekend for yall. Take care and stay cool! 🍻
You need to add more support if they bent that easily when empty with many people and under full operation it might not be safe. Eric could build some additional support for safety. Best wishes Dave
On the sorting table why not build some sheet metal slides where the materials slide down into a dumpster then it's contained and you swap out the dumpsters. Less labor touching the product
Good video Ryan. Anxious to see the sorting line running. Hey, use water with a heavy dose of dishwashing liquid, put them into a super soaker water cannon. They can’t fly, immediately fall to the ground and die. Much safer than wasp spray, in my experience. I’ve even used 16.9oz water bottles with soap. Drill a small hole in the cap and squeeze it fast and hard. You can spray it 20’.
Great video! It's surprising to see so many interesting things in such an old safe. It's clear you approach the task with passion and skill. Keep up the good work!
In my many experiences with factory seminars I’ve attended in my careers, they treat you very very well! Several were actually in Minnesota! (Toro Manufacturing). I have no doubt Roto-Chopper treated their guests equally well! Great PR work sends attendees home with a very favourable opinion on that company’s product line. PS: Betcha Aaron is going to Seoul Korea to a Hyundai event!!! That’s where they are built!
The more I watch these videos the more I want a job working on a landfill. Looks so interesting an working with great guys helps make a job worth it. All you guys seem great an make the videos very entertaining. Keep up the good work.
Glad y’all stayed SAFE out there!!!🤣🤣🤣 Great video Ryan !! I think everyone is like a little kid in a candy store when it comes to opening up even a small jewelry box or cash box that has been found!!! Better luck 🍀 next time!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
a couple of your concrete blocks would make a fine pair of legs for the sorter it would end up being pretty handy having a wall there when it comes time to load out the pile at the end of the sorter
About 40 years ago our company was doing some remodel work the Colorado Institute of Art. It was a building, probably from the 50's and had been the administration building for Denver Public Schools. We were more or less gutting the building for the Art Institute's new Music Video program. There was an old 5 or 6 foot tall, 3 feet wide safe that the Institute wanted to repurpose. The safe was open but no one knew the combination and I said I could probably figure out the combination so they said "Go for it!" I pulled the inside cover off and did figure out the combination but inside I found 2 glass capsules, about the size of very big cigars, that were 3/4 full of liquid. After showing all my co-workers the capsules we decided they were probably filled with tear gas and great care was taken removing them. We ended up tossing them up in the air in the parking lot and sure enough, as soon as they shattered I got a familiar smell of almond extract that I had first smelled about 20 years before this when someone set off a tear gas bomb in a stairwell at school as a senior prank. And yes, all of us in that parking lot we're tearing up BIG TIME!🥲
Good video-looks like you guys found the remains of an old business. IMO, somebody took everything left of the business and put it in the safe and walked away.
not related to finding money but this video from practical engineering explains the operation of a landfill, you would know if it's accurate or not, but it sounds good to me. The Hidden Engineering of Landfills
Looks like it was some sort of medical practice, with all the defunct data disks, that had to be kept by law for 10 yrs. They just threw it away when they closed or left the practice. As always, interesting what you find! thanks From uK.
my thoughts too, i'd use a cutting torch/plasma/gouging rod, take the hinges off. the heat is external for the most part instead of molten steel spraying on the contents. very little wear and tear on equipment or expense also. ie, cheap and fast.
You can resell the cassette tapes as used, people sell lots of used cassette tapes on ebay for 4$ each, people do buy tapes cause they re record on them
one of the places I worked someone dumped a big old safe with some other trash in the lot next to the yard I think it was in a house fire because all the brass was gone and nothing was in it but some dirt. we got it open by picking it up with the lull lifting it all the way in the air then dropped it twice it busted right open
Those floppy disks would be useful to people who restore vintage computers, such as Adrian Black does (Adrian's Digital Basement is his YT channel). They are hard to find these days.
😂😂 but could of been gold an Thousand Dollar bills in the safe!!! Yep I have had Thousands dollar bills in my hand in the early 1970’s that was a cool thing to go through 👍
This video reminded me of the safe I removed from a old post office in the UK 🇬🇧 It was so heavy we cut the door off with a grinder. Latter found out the safe was worth £5000 as it was over 100 yrs old. I kept the door for a momentum 😂
I started a long comment and was almost done and then it disappeared. So here goes again. This tip will save you money and work just as well as the wasp spray. The only thing that works better than this is a weed burner torch. So here goes. Take a 2 gallon garden sprayer, fill it about two thirds full of water, take a large bottle of Dawn dish soap and empty about half in the sprayer, then add about a cup of Castrol Superclean or Purple Power and mix it up. When you spray this on the wasps, the soap in the water allows the water molecules to go into the breathing orifices drowning them. When you spray the nest, if you can get close enough, adjust the nozzle to mist and gun them all coming out of the nest. If you can't get very close, adjust the nozzle to stream and gun them down from 15 or 20 feet away. If you spray during the day, you will have to deal with the nest's combat air patrol diving on you. You can try to strafe them out of the air with a spray halfway between a mist and a stream. You already have a bee suit. It would be best if you suit up and gun them down after dark when they are all at the nest. The cost of the Dawn and Castrol is a tiny fraction of the cost of a case of Wasp Spray, and they are both biodegradeable. Just a suggestion. I enjoy your videos. My favorite is the one about A-Aron and the homemade cannon. I smiled all the way through it and laughed a lot also.

When that floppy disk fell out I thought yall had found the original Oregon Trail!!😁😁
love that game!
Hope not, he might have died of dysentery.
Always check the dates on coins.
I should’ve

Best video yet!!! So much fun to see what’s inside
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just love it down south when you hear a man say I don't Gamble and I don't do drugs but they're real quick to hit that liquor bottle.
Lol
Check the dates on those coins. Pre 1965 could be silver.
Will check
Awesome video as always Mr Digg! Thanks for sharing all that goes into having a landfill. Hopefully it's a busy yet not hectic labor weekend for yall. Take care and stay cool! 🍻
Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! 🍻
Check the silver coins for age, 25¢ can be 30$@@TheRealMrDiGG
Check out the yrs on the old quarters could be worth hundreds of dollars the older the better
Check out the years on the dates in the back of the quarters they could be old and older than they are the more money you'll get
You need to add more support if they bent that easily when empty with many people and under full operation it might not be safe. Eric could build some additional support for safety.
Best wishes
Dave
Not a bad idea Dave!
The quarters could be silver, depending on the date, which would make them worth more
Dang it, Aaron already took’em! Lol
Have him check them
Quarters and dimes 1964 and older still had silver in them.

great video Ryan, really enjoyed the scavenger hunt inside the old safe, 👍👍👍👍👍
It was fun wasn’t it?’
If Aaron isn’t at work on Tuesday you know he found something after you left lol that was cool
Hahaha
Nice 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you 👍

The soap suffocates them that's what the fire dept uses when they have a accidents with bee keeper trucks except we use the foam

Glad you enjoyed it!
Best yt video of the week!
Wow, thanks!
I live in Augusta Georgia. It’s cool. That piece of history was found.
What a cool video bro you guys have all the fun up your way. Safe travels. Ken.

Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching
The floppy disks had the Swiss bank account numbers. Too bad you tossed ‘em.
Lol
The excitement got to me thought you had a counterfeit operations going on a first made for a great watch 👍👋🇨🇦
You and me both!
Love it man 😊😊

All you guys seem great an make the videos very entertaining.

Thanks so much for this!
Wow how fun was that??? Super cool.
Well that was exciting to watch. ❤
Never a dull moment around here! Thanks for watching
That was fun for ye, viewing from County Sligo Ireland 🇮🇪 🇺🇦🤠🚲📷✍
Hey SLIGO, you all better now?
Some of those Quarters or most of those Quarters are older and have value beyond being a quarter some could be silver, errors or better.
That’s what everyone is saying, and Aaron took’em 😢!!
Doubtful. Most of the documents are dated mid to late 1980s, so those quarters are likely only clad ones (no silver).
Thank you for another Great video. Cheers
Thanks for watching!
Check the dates on the change and or miss printed coins. They could be worth millions!!!
going to find aaron now and get my coins back!
Everything you find in a safe is like a time capsule and could be worth money. The stamps and the parking meter coins could be. Just letting you know
Cracking the safe was awesome. I love this channel 😁
makes me happy to hear!
All those old 5 1/2 inch floppies have probably been wiped by the magnet you picked the safe up with.
probably right
Nope, steel was thick enough, formed a Faraday Cage.
That was awesome even if didn’t have millions
We had fun with it!
Glad y’all stayed SAFE out there!!!🤣🤣🤣
Great video Ryan !! I think everyone is like a little kid in a candy store when it comes to opening up even a small jewelry box or cash box that has been found!!!
Better luck 🍀 next time!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

fair play your one cool boss loves all yours content 👊 keep it up 👍
Much appreciated!
Play the cassette. Might be interesting.
With what?! Lol
You all found the old school method of a file folder before computer's. I used to use that high tech technology.
Yup it used to be

We kept our promise
You got a nice floppy disk there
Lol
Super cool safe. Glad you were able to get it open.
Us too!
Aaron going to Shenzhen? It's an awesome place, kinda of a culture shock for a country boy tho! I went there in 2010 for a month!
Not quite, but kinda close. I think anyways
Word has it the slides and the film were the originals from the moon landing that went missing 🤷♂️🤷♂️
lol 🚀
Always get some good ideas
👍👍
Good video-looks like you guys found the remains of an old business. IMO, somebody took everything left of the business and put it in the safe and walked away.
I agree
Tons of snails in Louisiana this year too. LSU doing some genetic sequencing to see where from and if they carry any disease
intersting!
I hope you got that first money bag that was lying behind the metal plate leaning in the opening. It was a dark blue or black money bag with a zipper
I put some of those concrete blocks under that thing
Good idea
So cool!
it was neat
Looks like a bookie safe! Or the MOB😂😂😂
Right?!
cool one

Those disks would have probably been wiped anyways with being picked up by the huge magnet.
Busted a few safes in my day mate 😮 hammer the hinges first then the door will cave in and treasure is yours hahaha

Quarters could be worth something depending on year , mint mark, if silver and condition

It was so heavy we cut the door off with a grinder.
Latter found out the safe was worth £5000 as it was over 100 yrs old.

Is aaron going to the hyundai factory to check out equipment?
🤷♂️ 😉
Was the quarters made of silver. How old?
idk, gotta go find aaron and see lol
Got an interview with a landfill tomorrow just wondering if anyone know Practical/Hands-On Assessment would consist of
Them Quartes might be worth a lot of money
Any chance you would ship out on of those bags that had tha keys in it? Georgia railroad.

definitely would be better looking, wouldnt it?
Currently one of the hidden gems on UA-cam! Prescribe people help them out and make a comment.
appreciate the support!
1964 and back are silver coins

should have picked all the quarters up and check the dates to see if any were 64 or old, thats where u would get ur real money at because of the silver
awesome video
thanks so much!
check to see if silver quarters
The hinges would be weak link
That’s what I thought too
Could AAron be traveling to Hyundai construction equipments Global HQ?
🤷♂️
Great video but no pay day today 🇳🇿❤️
Maybe next time?!
do you have any videos of you or somebody burying the trash into the ground?
the trash from the safe or trash in general? lots of landfill videos here on the channel

Oh cool!
Check the dates on the coins, never know what they could be worth..
Going to find Aaron
Thought maybe you found al Capone safe or even jimmy hoffa
Wouldn’t that make for interesting content?!
