- In this episode Alex and Patrick had on the highway to visit a near ghost town to dig through a 100 year old general store looking for treasures! Will we find anything today??? watch and see!
Please, Alex - you are NEVER too busy to go to the doctor and take care of yourself!! Your family needs you. (Your fans do, too!)
OMG, I was just going to say almost the same thing! Its been a while now and I bet he still hasn't gone to the doctors. That cough doesn't sound good and if he goes now maybe, they can help him who knows what it is! And, I'm not a person who ever tells someone to go to the doctors!
He, ironically, has an allergy to dust. Probably why he coughs.
It could also be something called post nasal drip. After you get a cold you can often have a cough that hangs around for weeks and even months. I don't think it's terribly dangerous but it's ANNOYING. My husband gets it after almost every cold he gets, he is usually prescribed a steroid spray.
You should definetely take a break from crawling through dusty basements for a few weeks, Alex. Get a vacation, a real one! Your body needs rebuilding.
It sounds to me like a dry asthmatic type cough. Probably exacerbated by the cold and allergies. Go to your doctors, get sorted with an inhaler or whatever and wear a mask when you go into these places and I mean a proper mask, not a cheap one!!
I saw the video of you talking with Mary. You truly are a loving and caring person. If there was and award ceremony to honor you, I would attend.
Aww thanks
ME too!!
Steady on.. lol

Patrick is so cute. Fun to see ya both doing some picking together. That old general store was in rough shape, I'm surprised you found as much as you did.
For me the best thing about this channel is the way it demonstrates the importance of family. All other aspects are awesome but this is what keeps me attached to you. Keep up the good work guys you are wonderful.
I love going on adventures with you. I get to see things I may never have seen before. And the Potter’s home is the reason I became a subscriber. God Bless You And Your Family! ✨🙏🏻💞
I really like Patrick! He’s always so calm and has a very kind demeanor. 💕
Patrick has a very nice smile. He is very good looking.
Oh no! "Boyle"/boil jokes ha ha ha!...Glad that you did find some treasures there! ...thanks for sharing,.looking forward to your next video...
OMG...my dad had that car and I drove it to high school for over a year. It had a 350 V8 and was fast and smooth. Loved that car and it was a real hit with the ladies in the early eighties. It was definitely a playa mobile...LOL..Oh crap I'm getting old. 😎😎😎
Another great video! I envy you getting to go to all the places to gather great stuff! I agree with others, go to the doctor!
There was a Nude Doll night light on a shelf, with the slogan "Helps make pleasant dreams" oh my gosh 🤣🤣🤣 Love these videos, the dad jokes never disappoint!
You wrote this and I spent the entire video looking for that lol
Zara WhyteStar it was around 10:30 ish
@@madysonkay5931 BRUH I SAW IT AND IM CACKLING
Painter Girl Grammie it’s at 10:38
Zara WhyteStar I know I just thought it was worth sharing to give someone a good laugh 😂
Nothing ever gets by you Alex! So interesting!
You brought Patrick! Yeaaaaaaa! Missed him on the Easter vid you wife did! Miss his singing! Beautiful voice! :) Hi Patrick!
Sweet I just love searching for Stuff never stop making these I love it
Hi Alex! I truly enjoy going along on your trips to look for treasure😊!!! But I really wanted to tell you about a wonderful herb 🌿 to help your cough. I grew up with lung issues and I use a tincture or cough drops made from an herb called Horehound, heals your lungs and stops your coughing!!! Look it up and read what it does🤔!!! Thank you for your wonderful videos👏
yep sweetened with NZ Manuka honey, works a treat; hi from Sussex/uk.
That basement was scary ! Glad you didn't go into it deeper. Looks like you got some treasures though. It's always an adventure seeing you forage for finds. You are going to have a LOT MORE things to move to the new location now. Hope you get the new place purchased soon and can begin renovations. A Country Store setting will be an awesome venue for all the things you sell..
Good luck with everything. Hope the Potter's house sells soon. Can't wait for the next video. I am hooked.
the shelves with the bins at the bottom. WOW!!!! I was drooling as soon as I saw it.
Adventures is in my blood 😀 yay so happy your stilll making great videos 🤩
Another great adventure! How I would LOVE to drive through that little ghost town!! Many thanks for sharing! We're hooked!
Hi, Patrick, glad to see you on again. Alex, please go have the doctor check you out.
Yes but no singing in the car scene. Shucks.
Love it!!!
Thanks Alex, for sharing with us!!!!

The long soda fridge would be smashing converted into a kitchen island - lots of work to convert the top to include a sliding chopper to reveal the fridge at one end, and the other end the freezer or trash.
There u go Alex..buy it for a replacement for the B.B. horror at Potter.
Patrick has gorgeous eyes....he's lovely. Well done on another great haul!
☺
Hi Alex, Omg.....The Gnome Mobile was one of my fav movies as a kid! I do love your sense of humour 😂😂
Oh my!! The Gnome Mobile is a favorite classic movie from my childhood and my children love it now too!!!
The gnome mobile is well worth watching Alex, great family entertainment
I agree!! Saw it several times as a kid , one of my favorite memories!!
It is so much fun watching this video. We are so lucky that you share these experiences with us.
Alex, last week when you were in the basement at the Potter's house spraying that old heater, I was thinking that paint was going to trigger your respiratory issues. And then you went and lacquered the floor upstairs. I think my thinking was right! lol.
Paint is poison. We reAlly need to protect ourselves from it. But with the horrid forest fires every summer now what's the point? All our lungs-are taking an awful beating. Dammm.
Wisdom equals $$$ plus a nice dude awesome videos...
You live the best Life! I Love country settings and most of all history ❤️ I Love that Seville!
That face you picked up was awesome! Those had a part you pull down on and would squirt water out of the mouth and then laugh at you while the eyes blinked and the tongue wagged. My cousin had one when we were kids. It was an old woman.
They’re called a Laffun Head. I’ve been looking for one for a while actually. They fetch a decent price online
That "spotlight" you have at 23:00 is a WWII era signaling lamp. They would put those on ships and things and use the light to communicate with other ships in morse code.
gyloir I’m so glad it didn’t take long to find someone else who knew exactly what it was. Awesome!
Ebay has one pictured (already sold) it is an British WWII signal lamp.
@@AZHITW All nations used them on both sides of the war, though I'm not familiar with the brand, that might be helpful figuring out who used this specific one, but it's really hard to find a brand that's just called "AM" lol.
@@gyloir Alphatron Marine?
The ALDIS lamp "AM" designation indicates it was for "Air Ministry" use. Crown indicates it was made in Britain. Model 5A/760 was also made in Canada and Australia.
I love so much that you do your traveling with the in-laws! What an inspiration 🙂
What an example!..I maybe should have said. Cool channel 🙂
Love your channel, love the house series. Alex, that cough is most likely not allergies. We had a cough situation experience in our family under similar circumstances. Please get to the doctor.
awesome video!!! ty so much for sharing so interesting hugssssssssssssssssssssssssss God Bless
I am disappointed there was no "On the Road" sing along during the trip with you n Patrick !! AAAAwwwww Shucks !!!
Thought that very same thing as soon as I saw them together. Could have been nice to just record with no video, even. If not good enough... Just erase it. Maybe next time. 👏👂🎶🎵🎼🎸🎶
Could have done "On the Road Again" by Willie Nelson lol
When I think of a general store I think of penny candy and milkshakes. Your brother in law, Pat, is a very handsome, talented man with a God given gift in his singing voice! The two of you should sing together! Oh, and Alexander you're a very talented gifted handsome man too! God bless you both and your family's. I absolutely love your morals, ethics and integrity.
I looked at the title of the video, sat back, and thought to myself "I love this channel" and it was true.
I think the Wolf's head looks like the one we used in Cubs...the head, mounted on a stick, would be spun around(!) It it pointed to you, it was your turn to speak. Freaky, now that I recall!
I was shocked to see Boyle -- I spent every summer of my childhood at Skeleton Lake, just outside of Boyle, and remember it well. Most things have changed, but how nice to see it again!
Me too. Did you spend any time at the Matador Cafe in Boyle?
@@meganvanderlinden6755 I think it was the Matador Cafe, I remember plugging coins into the tabletop jukeboxes at a cafe that shared the building with the beer parlour, as we called it then. The hospital wasn't much more than a small building, and I remember everyone getting stuck in the mud when the road to the lake was being paved. Mike's Beach is now built up from the one store and two wharves that it used to be. Our cabin was on Nature Trail, but the cabins now look more like houses. Wonderful memories!
Wow! The Story of the Gnome Mobile! None of my family ever remembered this so I started thinking I imagined it. What a fun blast from the past!
You have quite an imagination Alex never lose it
Alex, please take care of you! Also you are a kind soul, so kind things will happen to you. You do good by Karma, Karma will do good by you.
I just want to thank you for putting out these videos. My father owned an antique shop years ago and would love to go on adventures like you do, but unfortunately is in the mid stages of dementia so he can't really. He loves watching your videos over and over again though :) Our last name is Archibald oddly ^^
Strange connections... Sorry about your dad. Hope he enjoys them for a long time to come. 💞
Love the treasure hunt. Patrick seems so kind. 😍
Awww thanks
Why are hair salons always named with puns?! My favorite one was "Curl Up and Dye."
I get mine done at Hair Force One
In Auckland ,New Zealand there was a barber shop run by a mr Ferkin, he was told to remove his sign which said "Time for Ferkin Haircut.."
There was salon here in the middle of Illinois with the Japanese name "Ippatsu," which *can* mean "a strand of hair" when written with two specific characters. It wasn't. The ones they used meant "a single shot (from a gun)," which is a euphemism for a one night stand. It's not like a lot of people around here would get it, but still...
My personal favorite business name was a chimney cleaning service I once saw called Ash Wipes.
The Movie Dealers Seen many with the name The Hair Affair.
Wow, lol. Worst one I've seen was "Toss N Curl"...I guess they toss you across the room then you curl up in a ball from the pain! Lol. Take Care. 👍
Another treasure hunting adventure yay! Very cool old shelving unit. I would be in my glory in there. So much stuff but at least you can walk through 👍🏻
Alex, I thought you would of learned from the Potter house, ALWAYS take some disposable surgical masks with you on every pick. Load the glove boxes of each ride with at least 6 -10 depending on who you take with you just to have them for places like this one.
He needs the better type mask. The rated ones for smoke. 5 bucks a pop but work better.
Dust, dander and mold could be causing this cough, but there are also diseases which are carried in the feces of mice that can really mess you up. Until you cleared it out, the Potter's House was probably a very busy place when the weather was warm, a real Disneyland for mice lol.
We all hope it's nothing more than allergies, but please get checked out to be sure.
You only get one pair of lungs...
Alex, you are so fortunate to have your Brother-in-Law, Patrick! Hope you appreciate all he did for you with the Potter's house and now this General Store!
That was way more modern than I thought it would be. I thought there would be more display cases, signage, register etc.
I love the ornate gold cash registers.
Most had been picked or moved previously.
June Hutchinson
But the guy was a garbage man. But there must have been some treasures T one time 🕓.
Yes, KLOMPEN! Wooden shoes. Very good! You also have Dutch fans.
Always fun to come on an adventure with you Alex! Go see a doctor about your allergies they can lead to chronic allergic asthma as well as bronchitis and pneumonia. It happened to my step son... leaving it ignored could have terrible lifelong consequences. Hope you see the Dr soon Alex! Hugs from Philadelphia! Christine
Have fun, guys. Can't help thinking that my late Mum would have loved doing what you do
Wow, this place might be promising, but to me my first reaction is that someone has already picked through and taken the better things.
Good luck, I hope you find a treasure worth your time
Yes! Exactly what I thought!
Looks like they trashed it looking for valuables.
So jealous living the dream! I would love that display shelving with the hopper bins!! WOW
Yes, the wooden shoes are "klompen". :D And yea, there are still people around wearing them, though mainly like farmers or so. Most wear the modern shoes. Hugs from the Netherlands! (Holland, Europe)
I have a pair of them took a little getting used to wearing them but are a bit noisy on some floors. I had a friend bring back a pair for me and my boyfriend but he refused to even try them on. They still have the price tag on them from close to 20 years ago. l tried to sell them but my friend got them with our names on them. I told the people you could always paint over it. I'm guessing that's a touristy thing to put names on them.
@@suzannejensen275 I have not yet seen a farmer having his name on his "klompen", they use them to work on the field and things. I myself never had a pair, I as a rule walk barefoot, or in rubberboots. (Not common in the Netherlands either, btw., lol.) Maybe you can find a person with the same name, that would buy the pair you want to sell. Also, here often people put a little plant in them, and hang them on a wall outside, or something like that. Maybe you like that idea. Have a wonderful day! :)
Love that Star Wars trading card pack. Had a collection of Star Wars cards from '77.
I haven't had the chance to yell 'HEY PATRICK' at my phone for weeks !! I may have startled the dogs...I can't even remember how this game started now....I think Alex may have said 'say hi patrick' once....so now I do, loudly whenever I see Patrick :) it's the small things in life lol
"the gnome mobile, the gnome mobile. jaunting around in the gnome mobile." hahaha. TOTALLY remember that movie...loved it. Walter Brennen!!
Alex. You have got to stop breathing in all this old dust and decay and get to a doctor about that cough! We don't want to see you down sick!
Donna Rayburn He doesn't seem to realize that fully
That was my thought and I made that comment before reading yours. I will add what I say to respond to you and delete my other comment...
Those busted up floor tiles are almost certainly going to have asbestos in them.
That cadillac is probably worth quite a bit. Great show!
Omg the dust factor big as MARYS House and basement was originally . Dangerous
Keep up the very nice video's, love them ! And yes, you were right on the Dutch word for wooden shoes being KLOMPEN...you even pronounced it right too !
That spot lamp is super awesome!
That basement creeped me out more than any movie, I kept screaming get out Alex get out out out! LOL
"I didnt know I was going to get so much stuff" -- story of your life :p sell tshirts and mugs with that
I just saw a video of a guy that bought an unopened pack of baseball cards, and he found the one he wanted, he was shaking and a mess, it was a joy to see haha crossing my fingers for whoever gets the pack you found!
"I didn't know I was going to get so much" is what a hoarder might say or someone with too much money.
@@margaretreardon5570 or ya know, someone that makes a business out of it! :D
The Aldis Signal Lamp was probably intended to run off ship power, hence the odd connector plug. It's probably worth more as a wartime collectible than it would be repurposed, but if you do try to make it into a standard lamp or something be sure you check the voltage. Interesting video as always.
"Spring is finally here!" Enjoy all three days of it!
That was a good day & great ride along....
I love how your mind works!!!!
“Slipping on banana peels” 🤣😆
Very interested video my third one watching today. It is now 8:30 on Sunday morning I have things to do now I'll continue watching later
“Boyle. A town that will grow on you.”
Lol dad humor.
I love Boyle. Nice quiet village. 5 or 10 minute walk from Downtown to basically wherever you live in Boyle.
I had to laugh out loud!
Favorite Town Dish... Corn on the Cob!
Served to you by a waiter named... Lance
Thanks for bringing us along, Alex! Always fun to see what's out there and what you choose. With Love From BanDana Gramma
Love being notified to your channel, hey from Minnesota
Mississippi
Yeah Patrick lol...oh and thanks for taking us along, too bad it was already picked through but you still brought home some goodies.
yeah! Melissa doesn't want you hurt exploring a collapsing basement!
Good to see you, Patrick!!!
Coke Santa and Pickle Rick should get together! They could have their own comedy hour! 🤣
Hahahaha now that would be funny :-D
They can call it Pickl’d Coke
Or not
@@BTSHopeWrld ... Might leave the wrong impression 😜.
Maybe we could call him Soda Santa (or Pop Santa, depending on where you are from).
we love you and what a nice house that you finished amazing. 009
It would help if you put links in your video description. Just a copy and paste text file would make it easier. You have an awesome channel and its great to see you dig through piles of stuff to find those hidden gems.
That Star Wars pack is right up my alley. Nice find.
See if you can get a sponsorship from one of those companies that makes the really cool dust masks/respirators with the neat graphics on them. Get one with the giant scary mouth graphic and then really scare the bejeezus out of Josh and Jakota the next time you work with them!
There's a plan.
Just reading a few comments, and they all agree on one thing: you need to start taking some masks with you and whomever you take. Asthma and allergies are nothing to play with. Being in old buildings tend to be full of mold, mildew and musty smells that will trigger problems. I love your channel on here, and we are all concerned about your well being, as we don't want to have you hospitalized or sick because of allergies and so on. You take care of yourself, and we'll take care of watching your vids. lol Have a great week!!
This looks like Dogriver from Corner Gas, love that Canadian show.
Yikes!!!! That basement was toast. Glad you got some deals and got out safely
You are a hoarder magnet! Hi Patrick i luv your singing voice btw😍😉😆😄😃😂😁😀
Oh my, I had a car that looked just like that one, only with a landau top. It was a '78 and the same color. Loved that car!
As a Dutchie, it was nice to hear you say 'klompen' right, and not just go for the usual "clogs", or "wooden shoes".
Jaw Moti,sorry I learn something new everyday,next time I hear someone say clogs I'll show how clever I am by correcting them,lol.
I thought they were just called clogs too
Indeed. Nice. 😊 Greatings from Deventer.
That's what I thought :-).
Clogs are for toilets.
Cool adventure the first coke cooler/ machine (the red square one) could have value depending on condition. And good find on the trading cards. Those Wacky Packs bring back memories haha
Robert Gardner I remember wacky packs. I had totally forgotten about them until now.
got damn I love this channel, keep up this kind of content please, so so interesting and informative. You're perfect on camera too.
Really great video my friend
You have to eat at the Burger bar in Boyle, it is SO good! best Chinese food I've ever had and the burgers aren't half bad either.
My aunt once bought out and old shoe store that hadn't gotten new stock since the forties. Lots of cool shoes!
Patrick so handsome! Nice eyes! 👁
Yeahs :) It's "klompen" indeed! Greetings from the Netherlands :) Love your channel!
Alex. GO TO THE DOCTOR! Geez! You could have an infection or just a bad reaction to fungus or mold. Might be nothing but might be serious. Take an hour and go. Mama Deb has spoken.
Take heed Alex. I was a very energetic aquatics instructor, and am now disabled with lung disease caused by fungus. It takes a while to get you real sick, but there is no reversing it.
Its just allergies folks. Relax.
U tell him MaDeb.
@@moncorp1 oh good, I feel much better now that u told us you were a doctor and have looked him over from top to bottom and the diagnosis is allergies!! Whew, and we feel so relieved. Thanks Doc!! 😃🤧.....sorry I am playing around and mean no disrespect but he has been sick for a while and don't really think it would hurt to get looked at.
He does inhale a lot of must regularly.
.....the bowling ball rolling comedically towards you - LOL! Alex Archbold you're a funny guy. Have you ever tried playing golf Alex?
If you watch Exploration Unknown on UA-cam, he has a video about the place all Zoltars are made. I think you might enjoy that video. It was made fairly recently.
Nice going exploring with you. I had to consider whether to give you a thumbs up, after the banana joke though ;-)
Keep on truckin'!
Alex, You may want to get your cough checked. I had a cough like yours, turns out I had asthma, along with my allergies. The right meds fixed it.
BridgieOh Yes allergies can lead to chronic allergic asthma as well as bronchitis and pneumonia. It happened to my step son... leaving it ignored could have terrible lifelong consequences. Hope you see the Dr soon Alex!
My brother who lives in Edmonton had a shock the other night. The nice, spring weather was replaced with ten inches of snow overnight.
Alex said the sight of snow made her cry.
Alex how do you even know what everything is??? Crazy knowledge u have. For me it would all be creepy and old. Creepy, old sign. Creepy old head. Creepy old drawers. Creepy old piece of metal.... Etc.
LOL It's not creepy if you Google things of the past and you can put in how far you want to go then Google it. You would be surprised how much people are willing to pay for things there seems to be a collector for almost everything. It's simply amazing I would love to do this but I end up keeping too much. LOL
That big plastic head is so cool. My daughter would go nuts for that because it’s the sort of thing that is similar to the vault boy in the Fallout console games, which she is a massive fan of!! 🤷♀️❤️
