My channel / thiltzy1
Dedicated to metal detecting and preserving Historical relics from early Colonial America sites in New England
Thanks for all your comments people and kind words, Sincerely. Believe it or not, the comments always motivate me to continue uploading even though it takes way to much time
+thiltzy1 did you ever get news about those dentures, the time period,if they belonged to the same person and if there was a body lower in the ground.
No body that we are aware of, we think they are late 1890's but not sure. Talked to a dentist for their opinion and thats what we came up with
+thiltzy1 really fascinating. i was wondering if the silver was not a way of always having passage on you if ever something happened ,or even a form of disguise for a n actor or a fraudster.
+martine. mjt disguise or if the dentures were not for an actor...............
+thiltzy1 Maybe the dentist who made them was traveling through the woods & they fell out of his bag when he encountered a bear & quickly had to run up a tree : ) poor guy!
the most bizarre find I've ever seen was when a guy dug up another metal detector
+p s lol..omg that is funny
...the metal detector was stashed there no doubt. did u ever have someone respond to a vid and claim anything that was theirs.
+Ross Keene.. never had that....it was really just the handle off the metal detector...it was in the corner of field most probably the result of fly tipping
best line ever "its a mouth spill" lmfao
Wow - that's crazy! You might need to change your outro to "Preserving Dentistry through Metal Detecting". What a wild find for Dave! HH
+Tarheel Diggin' lol
That find gives the word "weird" more depth.
+HoschtonBoy hehe, it does
I've watched thousands of MD videos. Those teeth take the cake and eat it too. Craziest thing I've seen. Saw the pictures earlier and now I get to see them dug. Not that it overshadows all the good early relics and coins you guys find. Your videos are always worth watching.
+TheDakotaRed1 Thanks a lot Dakota. That really means a lot to us
That open frame buckle is a beauty Todd. Glad to see it recovered in one piece.
Nice pile of finds, and Dave's teef spill was one in a million. Great catch on vid.
+Trooper Bri Haha Bri, thanks
The open framed shoe buckle shot. You were standing over Indian cucumber root. Pretty rare hard to find wild edible lol.
Cool Hunt Guys! Couldn't believe the "Denture Spill" That's awesome HH , Nice Old Coppers Too!
+Dirt Hawk Thanks, glad you enjoyed
I hope you kept the dentures. In the right market you can get a fair amount for them. Oddity shops love stuff like that...and me...lol!
Another great video and couple of hunts. The teeth are great! Too bad there were no gold teeth in there!!!
+Wldbil That would have been even better
Stoney don't make silver supporting structure in false teeth. And that was 2 sets - each set contains an upper and lower plate. The lower is of course the horseshoe looking plate.
Always enjoy watching you and Dave hunt, usually he's scrambling trying to find a copper after you found two. Guess Dave bit off more than he could chew this time!! LOL!! Awesome hunt Todd, and a killer knee buckle!
+CoinandRelicOntario yeah todd did better than me this year in the copper dept.but he don't have a roy rogers riders token! lol
+heavymetalnut1965 Lol Dave...this is true
Why were grown men getting so freaked out and feeling sick over the site of false teeth? I think I would have edited out that part.😀 Overall it was a nice video! Thanks for taking the time to share it!!
That is the weirdest find ever. But so cool and creepy.
Nice job on the video. Very entertaining!
+V3i Sweeper Thank you Sweeper
I would love to see pics of those awesome coins after you clean them. GREAT FINDS!
That's where ol' dirty mary would take em out to give gummers
That's not "4" sets of false teeth, it's only 2 sets.
2 upper and 2 lower = 2 sets of teeth.
+BloodTar This had already been addressed but thanks anyway
thiltzy1 Oh, okay.
Congrats on your Beautiful Connecticut Colonial Coppers and the 1819 Matron Head Large Cent. What a wild find...false teeth sets...amazing. Great hunt guys.
+Jps3bs Thanks man
What a wonderful hunt guys! Never seem to disappoint!
+Pennsylvania Treasures Glad you still appreciate the vids
Great hunt! Nice finds and that was a weird one towards the end for sure...
+Will Hornbuckle Crazy, wasn't it Will?
Buddy of mine lost his button on a rock while spelunking. He got all excited and started moving rocks, and came up with about 20 buttons going back to the Civil War. It never would have occurred to me to look.
+Docktor Jim Wow! That is a great story. There is so much in the ground that we all walk over everyday...it's out there!
+Docktor Jim Was spelunking big during the Civil war too :-)
Paul Evans At what point in human history have men not been drawn to caves?
Man one "Hey! Let's look in this cave!"
Man two "No. It's only 1865. Don't be stupid."
It was meant as a joke not to cause offence. Apologies if it did.
Paul Evans Oh not at all. I's just pointing out that dudes can't look at a cave without wanting to see the end of it. Must be some kind of Freudian thing.
Killer hunt. Congrats on all the amazing finds. Dave definitely took the cake with that crazy weird disgusting find. Hahaha
I wonder if Dave ate his lunch after that?
+The Hoover Boys Thanks as always Kurt. Nice choppers aye?
He should wear them
Awesome hunt guys! great finds and a little disturbing too! cool vid! hh and be lucky guys!!!
+Phill G (arcanerelics nwales) Kinda gross isn't it
Back to watch this again! Great hunt!
+john harvey Repeat viewer...love it
That was a good hunt. I can only dream of finding stuff like you guys have found. Thanks for the video.
+Jeff McKenzie thank you for the comment
Finding those disgusting things would be as bad as finding a bloody big spider in a grassy hole while pulling a coin out ;-)
haha very crazy find lol great video just subbed !!
Gr8 videos,keep them comming.Love the'mouth-spill'ha,ha.Just shows what people leave in the earth .Dialogue really interesting and family friendly.Can't wait for more ! GPJ,England
+Gail Jackson Thanks Gail, appreciate the comment
Very well done video! The fast motion piece is a nice touch to break up the standard video. I stumbled on to your channel and have subsequently subscribed. :-)
+David Main So glad you enjoyed it
I still can't get over the cellar holes you researched and find, blows me away! I found a button, mid 1800s with white heavy thread still on it as well, pretty cool. Dave's teeth rocked ! I was LMAO .. Continued success guy's!!
+T4CodyBear Thanks Cody
Were any of those toofuses marked "G.W?" If we imagine early American history, we know George had a number of false choppers made over the years, including a set of floating wooden beauties, right after he'd sneezed his uppers over the side of the boat while crossing the Potomac River. When his dentist was forced to flee and hide from the Red Coats advance, he sought refuge with his brother in law's wife, who was living alone because her hubby was away battling the British Navy. The dentist hid them, but was shot by the brother in law when he returned unexpectedly eight months later, so they were never returned to George. Seriously though, a one of a kind find and the hunt wouldn't have been complete without a spoon.
Wouldn't his brother in laws wife be his sister.
+Robert moss Very astute!
+Robert moss well if his wife has a brother who is also married then no
+soul__seeker__ You may be correct. George might be his maternal grandpa's first cousin's toothless uncle, twice removed. Or not. Dentition doesn't lie.
may have been a addition to the house at the cellar hole site which may have been a bathroom ,explaining why the sets were all in the same spot .just a thought great finds, good video
+E. Fifield very good point
What in tarnation!? That is sooooo creepy and bizarre. Just finishing ten seasons of criminal minds doesn't help either! Haha
+GigiRitch Lol...yes weird
False Teeth lol i never thought id ever see that lol good hunt though
+Bobby Garmon thanks
Great video! It's very interesting and looks like a whole lot of fun.
That is so bizarre! I too found a stash of false teeth! I found them on a step old river bank dump that I noticed by the bottles sticking out of the bank.There were 20 sets with various numbers of teeth in them from full sets down to only 3-4 teeth left in the top or bottom plates. Plus another 33 blank ones that were all stacked up in the ground. The material of the ones I found were much deeper red in color and more of a real hard type rubber or something similar but not bakelite. This had to have been a local dentist that dumped these there......Thanks for posting this....really made my day....but destroyed MY strange hunting story! haha
By the way how does a video like this get 127 thumbs down????? People are azzholes.....sorry.
+Mark Hill Love your story Mark and I'm sorry if this vid ruined your "strange hunting" story...lol
+Mark Hill always critics Mark, it's good to have them.
+Mark Hill I will live to hunt another day...all good...hahah
come on Dave dig a little deeper next time you might find the guy who lost them
+Danny Robinson that crossed my mind while digging :O/ was praying no skull was there.
That hit #1 on my bucket list of NOT to find. Otherwise great video and love that CT copper. You guys do great work
+swanzeysearcher thanks Brandon! so do you!
+swanzeysearcher Thanks Swanzy, always good to hear from you and get your input
As we say down here in Mass...that's bizaaaah!!!!!!
-Mr. Digger
+Mr. Digger you ah up thah in mass
Wow! That really is strange, but cool! Subbed and liked. GL and HH
When my parents died, I buried their dentures under a (if tears could build a stairway) plaque on top of their grave.
The teeth are hilarious! Please show the finished display with those! Nice video.
+West Texas Tumbleweed Maybe Dave can link a display pic with the teeth
strange fingerprints
Hey Todd and Dave, just happened across this and laughed. One day while detecting I dug up a handful of individual teeth about 30 of them (no skull to be found). Lol Probably a dentist lived at that site... I showed the teeth to my dentist at my next teeth cleaning and he was amazed. He said they were definitely human and could tell they were from mid-late 1800's by the dental work. He cringed because the way they were sawed off and oozing with some kind of weird clumpy metal. With no pain meds like today... anyway, fun find!!
+Tana Allen Ouch!! Great story thanks for sharing
Dave you guys never seem to amaze me always finding excellent find. I wish I was still going detecting with you. maybe that was a burial site and the bodies deteriorated and the heads are gone.
+Rcat007 Anything is possible
Epic video
+Isaac Pasette Thanks Isaac
Kool hunt guys and loads of nice finds, strange finding those dentures and then the ones with Silver on them but still Silver is Silver :-D
ATB GL & HH

Sweet hunt. Congrats on all the awesome finds. That's a Crazy teeth spill. They will display nicely. Bizarre
+Rvs Rvs I wouldn't want to display them but Dave will I'm sure
what a crazy day that was! and my fridge fixed itself that day tooo.was clunking in the morning and my freezer was started to thaw out.when i got home no noise and everything was normal.
That bottle is where the term "Pop" bottle came from. The cap is inside and held in place by the pressure of the carbonated liquid. to open you would hit down on the wire end and the lid would "pop" into the bottle and let you drink. They would refill them and just pull the cap back up into place.
+MajWMartin Great info, thanks Martin
I think those false teeth are WAY COOL!!!! You guys are SO LUCKY!!!! Your video is SO COOL!!! You found some GREAT STUFF!!!! Right on!!!!!!!!!!!
+Ellen Jefferies Thank you Ellen, glad you could appreciate it
Oh, ya!!! I would put those in a shadow box!!!! Love them!!!
cool video....well shot and edited . u actually found 2 full sets of false teeth. The two without the center part are for the bottom jaw. The two with the center parts are for the upper palettes. Very odd find.
+Aaron Baranek Thanks Aaron for the props
Here's my take on the false teeth; a dog would take his owner's false teeth when he was asleep at night, while they were soaking in Everdent, go outside and bury them. When he'd get a new set, the dog kept doing it over and over, burying them in the same spot every time.....until the owner either died of starvation or ran out of money. Whaddaya think? Lol! BTW, great video!
+Ron Reed HAHAHA...love it. Nice theory
That is another reason I wear gloves! LOL ;-)
Sick digs! LC,Bottle,Conn.Coppa,whats not to like!Keep the vids coming! GL &HH
+Jeremy Weeden Thanks a mill Jeremy, appreciate the comment
Apparently someone didn't like wearing their dentures so much that they hid them!!!!
Interesting - what's most interesting for us detectorists in the UK is that this is 'modern junk' to us. We record our finds with the archaeologists and they don't record anything from the last 300 years :-)
+Steve Bush Wow! really?
Hey Dave keep on chopping 😂
I've found a lot of stuff...stuff everyone else finds...but false teeth with silver backing a first....that's the most unusual find ever.
+Accuracy Marked very odd and surprising
Very interesting hunt, guys! Congrats!
+StivNagen Thanks Stiv
Awesome. Colonial "grills". Lol
+Diggin Arkansas LOL
+Diggin Arkansas i wish they were colonial.research puts them at 1850-1900 the rubber used on these called vulcanite and porcelin as teeth about 1900 they went to poly resin materials
Hey they're my teeth ! Please post them back :) Some nice finds, enjoyed watching :)
+Gary McKinnon haha, thanks
Nice chompers...
thanks for sharing, you should take them too a dentist and find out how old they are..
Wow! Buried treasure with a combined value of over $2!
+YiannisPho Lol...ok
Love your videos. Wish i was young enough to be a Treasure Hunter. Good Job, guys.!
+Stanley Stalvey Thanks Stan, appreciate it. Never to old to do some MDing
My legs are bad now and can hardly walk. Maybe I can get a mobility scooter with mower size metal detector..? haha..
About 100 years ago.... someone had a bad day and couldn't smile about it.
+psygn0sis lol
as you guys said, "weird" one would be, but four? And good find on the intact bottle.
+judy hobday Thank you Judy
I have come up with gold teeth and crowns all in one area Sant Cloud Min Total was over 6 OZs14K-18K and one was Ivory teethNice sites you have I been to Low Gap Va and High Gap Va on the old wagen trail looks as I found a lot of things that fell off the wagens, Nice clip
+Justhuman128 very cool finds you made Justhuman, thanks for that story
Whats funny is that you guys will pick up a dear skull but say eww and a humans teeth. lol Great vid. :)
+Louise Florida Teeth are just creepy to me..lol
+thiltzy1 lol
Haha, true
:)
They must not have been very good at sewing buttons on their clothing back in the day! LOL
Nice finds! I love that bottle! I wonder what it's worth. ?
Actually, you have two "sets" of false teeth. An upper and lower would be one set.
+alan30189 alan, it wasn't that they were bad at sewing it's just that they had to work their land everyday to survive
+thiltzy1 That actually was a joke, plus the zipper might not have been invented back when these homes were occupied.
I would say the stone wall was in an open field at onetime, no trees.
Great hunt, Todd. Way to out hunt Dave (again)
+LycomingWarrior Haha, don't tell Dave that
superb ,love the Georgian period finds , good job lads......Ray
+furrow follower Thanks Ray I appreciate the comment
that is strange, gross & funny at the same time XD
+microbusss I concur
nice would love to join some hunts with u guys if possible
cool finds
+saxonfan1970 Thanks Saxon
Wow.look at those choppers!You have two full sets.Two upper and two lower.Maybe it was husband and wife
+craftbunny Could be, good point Bunny
+craftbunny they are from the same person.same exact sets.you can see on the rubber the markings of the guys skin when they were molded.weird but true
i think they were bigfoot teeth
Wild! Great job guys!
+Ohio Metal Detecting Thank you
you may wanna contact law enforcement and see if any serial killers ever collected false teeth as trophies. ???
+truestory!!! I think that serial killer would be long dead by now
sweet bottle find
Even counterfeit from those periods were highly collectible.
+Numisaccent Good point
+Numisaccent Yeah antique fakes are still antiques. There is a type of old fusse pocket watch called "continental fakes" which were usually Dutch but had phony English signatures with "London" as the place of origin to make people believe they were made in England. Today they are still collectible.
DAMN I miss cellar holes...I moved to coastal SC...deep time sure, but you can't dig cellar holes in the swamps...that's called a swimming pool. The ONLY way I've found to locate settlements is set low tone to iron then dig all non ferrous in the woods when I get lots of iron.
+roadkillscjim That's a great idea and I am sure it will pay off
I was surprised to see that there was no tarnishing evident on the silver portion of that denture. It makes me wonder if it's silver or an alloy of gold. It was my belief that silver wasn't used for dental work because of its ability to tarnish. You may want to have that metal tested because it may be "white gold".
+William Charles Interesting point
The bottle was awesome and I love the teeth
+otherme then Thank you, I really enjoyed finding a complete bottle
Gosh, coins of the realm......
that was so funny!!lol save them cause your going to need them suner or later!!lol, thanks for the laugh!!
+annielou2010 You might be right...lol
:)
sometimes they would use a single gold tooth in dentures to give the appearance that their teeth were real ...
Great Video Guys well done, Just Subbed you.
+Pommy-Down-Under Thanks Pommy, glad you could enjoy and appreciate it
Todd, I've heard you say more than once that you've turned sensitivity way down. I'm a novice at cellar hole hunting here in Maryland and have been using 2-tone ferrous with disc way down at 4 but sensitivity up to about 90 on a Fisher F75. How do you find lowering the sensitivity to help in detecting buttons, coins and brass?
+Michael McCullough Hi Michael, I only lower sensitivity in heavily infested iron areas. The higher sensitivity results in the coil picking up more and more targets and noise so lowering your sensitivity reduces all that noise and allows me to isolate a good target much easier in all the iron. Hope that helps some
Probably somebody's relative passed away and they didnt know what to do with the relatives dentures so they buried them.
Hello from queretaro here we have Cortés houses haciendas and aré colonial places we Also founds reales here very goods finds
i understand real human teeth from cadavers were used in early colonial times. that could date your teeth, xray em maybe to see if the roots are on the teeth still. Washington did have some human teeth sets.
+Darryl Parker true about GW, thanks
Holy crap!
Lesson for everyone unless you want random dudes digging up your teeth! BRUSH REGULARLY. HH good vid
+Duran Sexton Good advice Duran lol
Very cool. I wonder if someone died and their family tossed their false teeth...
Is that a jaw-dropping find or what?
+powernumpty lol...no pun intended, right?
Totally amazing
+Stephanie Hamilton Thanks Steph
Not 4 sets, only two. Two upper dentures, two lower dentures. I'm betting they fit together. Reason I know this, is, I wear dentures. The ones with the full plate are the uppers, the ones shaped like a "U" are the lower. Probably tossed out when grandpa died. Who wants to keep teeth around?
+Heavyhaul Exactly what I was thinking, 2 sets and of no use to anyone but the person they are made for therefore disposable when that person is gone. Why 2 sets you may ask? If you wear dentures, you know how it feels to be without. Better safe than sorry, have a spare and never be without.
