    Out of all of the other people with metal detector channels on UTube you’re the best because everything you find is believable. The respect you pay to everything you find, especially the graves, is the reason you’re welcomed to many private properties I think. This was another great Friday morning to drink my coffee with.

    it’s amazing to think that those gleaming white grave stones have quietly sat in that forest for almost 200 yrs with only animals as a witness. so many countless seasons have passed and they still stand, almost defiantly against mother natures pull to reclaim them. ❤

    When I was a kid I played with whizzer buttons 🤭. John Yates was a metalsmith in Birmingham England who fashioned ladles,spoons and other flatware from pewter and silver plate in the early 1800s....his sons continued the business thru the 1870/80s.
    As always I enjoy your videos,thanks

  • @michaelolsen2348

    That was actually really cool of you to move away from the grave site. Out of respect you may have given up detecting something crazy to let whoever they were rest peacefully. That's awesome man. And as soon as I saw that one counterfeit with the holes, I knew immediately it was a whizzer. That's cool. I'd love to find one of those.

    I wanted to add that we had a old saddle that had a few decorative oval silver plated pieces. The center had a square area that two pieces of leather came thru and a large knot was tied and it had about 4 inches of leather strings hanging down and it made it look very decorative. I enjoy every one of your videos and can’t wait for Friday. I would love to see some of your collections at some point. I learn so much from you and appreciate all your work.

    I don’t think the counterfeit coin is a wizzer. For it to be a wizzer. The holes need to be in the center of the coin to create the centrifugal force to wiz. Great hunt!

    I agree with Yvonne. I have found most metal detecting shows dis-interesting and or appear seeded or staged sometimes scripted almost. Rarely been able to watch most of the other shows through to the Finnish. Yet I nearly get anxious to see green mountain turn up on my rotation each week. He somehow keeps each show real and fun to watch.

    My daughter and I found a GRAVE in a FLORIDA ORANGE ORCHARD back in the ‘70s ! We were picking oranges 🍊! (we were migrant workers) THE HEAD STONE was turned over so she and I stood it back up ! Don’t remember the the name of the person on head stone my daughter said a woman was laid to rest there in the early 1800’s! We got rocks to help stabilize the grave stone! And said a prayer 🙏 of course ! Ya never know what is in your life path that needs your help and support! I loved metal detecting and still have mine ! It’s old and so am I (well into my 80s ) I love watching your videos ,brings back so meany memories of wonderful days hunting who knows what 🙀👵🏻😱❤️🙏👍

    Excellent video, as always! The counterfeit coin in particular was interesting; I've seen a couple of UK videos where counterfeit Roman coins (usually bronze washed with silver) were found. Not sure whether or not that was a 'whizzer'-- my mama taught me how to make one as a kid and was very specific about them having to have the holes close to the center (I used an old coat button, very large.) I wondered, though, if somebody might've used it to mend something that needed a piece of metal-- maybe to cover a hole or gap?

    Collecting civil war era patriotic tokens and store cards is one of my hobbies, but this one wasn't in the FULD book. How cool! With a little more digging it turns out it's a half-penny trade token issued by Moses Tolano, circa 1850. "Tolanto" was apparently a misspelling on the die, as records indicate a merchant in Bridgetown, Barbados named Moses Tolano was buried there on May 30, 1852.

  • @timothymilam732
    @timothymilam732 8 місяців тому +2

    Ever noticed that no one ever really finds a lot of blacksmith tools, and you know that pretty much everyone had to have some of their own tools used for shoeing either oxen, or horses.
    Simply for the fact that they were so far away from town to make it peactical to take livestock in everytime one lost a shoe.
    I understand that oxen are particularly difficult to shoe, because the animal has to be physically lifte high enough to tend their hoofs, because bovine cannot support themselves very well for any length of time on three legs.
    Figure that they even had need to make some repairs on farm implements themselves versus carrying everything in to the nearest town that had a blacksmith.
    Which by walking beside your livestock themselves, are pulling a cart or wagon could take many days to reach there and back home again.
    Granted not everyone had the capability to do such things, but enough did that there should be more of these types of tools found I'd think.
    That and I'm sure that there may have been a few that traveled around plying their trade, but it's not something that I have heard of any great number of those actually doing this.
    That and the fact that the tools such as anvils, and forges were quiet heavy to be loading and unloading off a wagon regularly.
    Just something that I've noticed about metal detecting home places.
    But have actually seen old home places that actually had pretty much everything needed to do such things themselves, that had been abandoned for whatever reason.
    Granted these are typically depression Era home sites, where it honestly looks like they left majority of their possessions behind when they pulled out.
