Billy had one job: Guard the refreshment box. He was the captain of the softball team, and everyone trusted him. Billy however, trusted no one. So he used his brand new combination lock to secure the contents when he had to pee on a bush. Now he had taken every precaution to keep the refreshments safe, including writing down the magic numbers to the lock. Sadly, he put the combination into the box along with the treasured Pepsi Cola. When the other scouts returned from tying knots and catching trout they were parched and ready for their beverages. While disappointed at Billy's oversight, Johnny the big kid in the group said, "Boys, we are all Scouts here, and we are always prepared.." Johnny whipped out his Old Timer pocket knife and went to work on the hinges of the box. But as is the case when using the wrong tool for the job, the knife blade broke in half. Jimmy and a few other kids tied Billy to a tree with one of their newest knots and went through his pockets looking for the combination. But all they found was 8 pennies, and a bottle opener. Finally, the Scout leader alarmed by the shouting, tucked his whiskey flask back into his jacket and interrupted the "goings on." Recognizing a teachable moment, the drunk old man, who had been unfit for service in the war, pulled out his revolver and said, "Gentlemen, I have the key to that lock. Now plug your ears." Jimmy, who couldn't multitask, dropped the 8 cents to cover his ears. The shot rang out, and everyone finally got to take a few swigs of their favorite beverage. Billy was unceremoniously untied from the tree and commented on the good knot the boys had used - then he too, finally got a sip of the liquid treasure.
@@NinfaCarpentergeorgia198 Thanks. Brad has a tendency to bring the stories out of me as he ponders the people who were "once upon a time" in his finds. It is one of the many reasons I like his channel.
I was once told (by an old Boy Scout) that the adult scout masters would throw handfuls of change out in the brush, then tell the boys to clean up the campsite of any garbage. Any coins that were found they could keep! We've hunted scout camps here in Wisconsin with the same results..coins galore! ❤ your hunts!!
Looks like a bottle opener, Sand Springs to open up the Sands Springs bottle. Fun hunt Brad, glad you brought up the scouts leaving no trash behind rule.
I came here to comment the same. Bottle opener. They were necessary because the old bottles ( soda and beer) had crimped tops and were almost impossible to open without that tool. Many people had openers on key chains.
Brad, I just wanted to say Thank You!!! I love and Appreciate you so much!!! Thank you for sharing your adventure with us!!! It was definitely a Great Hunt!!! I love that you save History and share it with us!!! God Bless!!!
A quick google- Pepsi switched to the Swirl in their Glass bottles in 1958. I was pretty sure the pattern was more 60's than war era. This could have been dropped long after the Scouts were using the area. Maybe an older man returning to the area to reminisce about days gone by. Zowie, all this merchandising items... Someone was very busy talking with any company who would donate Merch for the kids. The Penny spill... that could have been a Camp Leader who tripped, and the pennies were camoflauged on the ground, while the silver would be easily seen. The Softball Medal- In the early half of the 20th century, The Girl Scouts were doing as much camping outdoors, as the Boy Scouts; especially in rural areas.
That was my recollection, too. Returnable bottles originally sold for a nickel for six ounces in the mid fifties. Then, they went to six cent vending machines briefly, before going to a dime for a larger bottle like that in the late fifties. We used to get two cents for each one turned in for refilling.
Does anyone remember the the store display that had the plastic scroll that you pulled out over the bottle caps on the carton below so you could stock another carton of drinks on top? The scroll would roll back up when you lifted the carton off.
Decided to watch this before bed. These videos are interesting AND relaxing to me. Good way to end the day. And I found several pieces of old coke and Dr pepper bottles. Both aqua blue glass. Very thick. Not sure how old, but probly before my time. Also found an early 80s pepsi can. Still said "Pepsi cola" on it. And I went out detecting today......had soooo many strong signals, but the clay is so dry it's like digging into brick. Had to leave those signals for another day........after it rains for a week or so. Lol
Hey Brad, As usual, great finds!! Back in the 40's with that bottle opener, they would have referred to that as a "church key". Nice little wheatie spill!
Hey Brad the Sand Spings Bottle what a find. The Bottle Opener also. Those are my favorite Relics you found. Sand Spings has a really great story about the water. Love the 1941 Softball Pendant. Take Care Brad
Hubby and I own a ranch in the mountains of Southern California. It was a hideout for a cattle rustling gang. Then homesteaded and used as an apple orchard and ranch, then a Boy Scout Camp, and now a ranch again. I’m sure there are artifacts dating back to the mid 1800’s to the present day.
Happy Friday Brad! This weeks video surfaced fond memories of my own scouting days in Connecticut, in the 1980's. Also, hunting/fishing trips to White River Junction. Vermont is a beautiful state! Good for you, for taking full advantage of the mountain's, beauty, serenity and storied history. Thank you!!
I was a Boy Scout in Southern Ontario Canada in the early to mid 1960’s. We also had campsites and I would love to return to metal detect those areas. Thanks for sharing your video!
Thanks Brad for another great video. I think that that can opener is actually a bottle opener, the Boy Scouts probably use them to open their soda pop. Thank you.
Another great video Brad! The buckle is an old cinch buckle that went to the straps on the back of a pair of mens trousers before belts became widely used. I found one a few years ago at an old homeplace that dated 1880's-1930's and had to do some digging to find out what it was. Cool find!
Thank you for the effort and excellent in your videos. I’m new to detecting, I haven’t received my detector yet, but I’m doing my research and excited to enjoy the hobby. Keep the dream going and I will follow you and maybe contribute something to share soon.
Boy Scout Troops usually had what is called a :Chuck Wagon" with all the necessary utensils and some staples for backwoods camping! 40 years experience! Fun video!
I loved the video brings back lots of great memories. My father was a scout master for 25 years and no i never made eagle. Look forward to next Friday!
Brittany I'm probably your grandmas age.Ive been watching you since the younger days of your channel. I love history and the discovering it is exciting. Needless to say I've realy enjoyed your content. Your videos of finding lost loved ones ARE emotional. The community suffered a bump in the road do to Jared and his baggage.His emotional stuff was so damm fake. He was using that to make money. Your pure heart and just generally being a great and caring person is evident. The people that matter are rooting you on. We are proud of you.❤
So cool. Love the bottle opener! I started in my back yard and found a WW1 button! I'm on the hunt for a poney express button! Love your videos, if I can't get out I watch you!
Hello Brad really enjoying these weekly metal detector hunts! My guess is The boy lost the pennies from the treasure chest after the guy shot the lock off. Safe hunting till next vlog
Your can opener is actually a bottle opener. Can opener is the same shape but it has a sharper point to cut thru the metal caps. We wore it around neck using a old shoestring. Thank You You're a breath of fresh air. Thank You.
Brad, so far as the pennies go, when I was in scouts in the 60s and 70s, the Quartermaster operated a store with snacks and sundries. The soda bottle, Sands Springs bottle, and Sands Springs bottle opener probably came from the Quartermaster's commissary store. The other possibility is card games. We played Gin Rummy all the time for a penny a hand.
The one-dot Pepsi bottles started being used in about 1950, so the campsite was probably used in the 1940s through the 1950s. 3 of my brothers were in the Scouts in the 1950s, so some of what you found was very familiar. What a fun hobby you have.
As a former Scout and Scout Master, I can assure you that Scouts excel as losing things at camp. Surprised you didn’t find more. I took my detector a few times and the best thing I found was an uncirculated 1967 Kennedy half dollar. Had to have been dropped in ‘67, because it’s darn near perfect. Great video, Brad!
I’ve found the same hinge in Penn Yan , NY, along the outlet near a late 1800s fruit packing place. They were loading grapes onto trains and steam boats. Interesting place and finds you have.
🌲🌲Very interesting. I am wondering if the Pepsi bottle went with the softball championship winning medallion and also if the Sand Springs bottle opener went with the Sand Spring Mineral water. 🌲🌲
Another great adventure. Nice old school church key ie. bottle opener. I can't begin to count how many blades I snapped off my knives when I was scouting age. The only on that survived into my adult years was my actual B.S.A. knife because I treasured it and barely used it.
Whenever you find a bottle, it’s important also to examine the bottom. It can be quite informative; you can use the embossed letters and numbers (if present) to determine who manufactured the bottle and even when.
I would say the back of the padlock looks cut, you can see a cut mark, a circle had been removed. .. If it had been shot the metal would have been pushed back and jagged. Again some great finds, what a beautiful place to spend your time 😊
School locker combination locks often had a circle where the master key, kept by the principal (or troop leader?) could open the lockers, trunk, etc, on the back. In fact they still make them.
Brad, I'm in my 70's and went to grade school in the 1950's...penny candy, even in those days, was usually two pieces for 1 cent, unless the candy was a little larger, then it was one cent each.
HAY BRAD, MY WIFE AND I SHARE YOUR ENTHUSIASM FOR THE HOBBY. GREETIN'S FROM CREEL CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO. A LOT OF COOL ADVENTURES, AND FINDS ALONG WITH THEM I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU VISIT HERE, YES THERE ARE MANY COOL PLACES TO DETECT. ALREADY LOOKIN' FORWARD TO THE NEXT INSTALMENT OF GREEN MOUNTIAN M.D... STAY COOL BRAD... PEACE...
Brad the buckle at 10:38 does have text on it. I found one exactly like it. Mine has BW&G. More on the chafe bar R I S and a symbol I cant make out. Great videos Brad. They make my week.
Hey Brad. Maybe the scouts were pitching pennies and almost got caught. Had to leave them where they were. The soft ball pendant is a cool find. The recipient would be in their 90s, by now...
Brad so I figure, the Treasure Chest was found by the Boy Scouts. They tried to pry off the paddle lock with a jack knife and snapped the blade throwing it far in frustration. So, in desperation after cooling themselves off with a nice swig of cola resorted to shooting the paddle lock off. The caliber was so huge that the round went through the chest blowing off a hinge. They gathered around the small chest and to their wonder found a stash of coins. They pocketed the silver and tossed the coppers for another Treasure Hunter to find! Truly enjoy your videos!
Hey Brad That RC bottle as well as the Pepsi was still in use into the mid 60's. At least in southern Calif. The broken pocket knife may have been hit by a plow or disc which scattered it across the land. I now live in Kansas where a lot of wheat is grown. After a crop has been harvested, the ground gets disked or plowed up for planting some other crop such as corn or soybeans. when the ground is freshly turned, I sometimes find bits and pieces of metal and pottery when checking the dirt for moisture. I have never found a whole item, likely due to the decades of turning the ground. Thank you for the great videos you post. Work Safe, Be Well Enjoy Life
Nice finds, thanks. I was drinking Pepsi out of those bottles in the late 60s to early 70s. It could be that those boys took there kids back to where they had fun as a kid.
Love your videos- big fan. Let us know when you're planning on doing your first "come dig with me" give away! This midwestern guy would love to hit some eastern history! BTW, your AI thumbnails are great!
On my honor I will do my duty to continue to watch Brad each week. I will obey the scout law, double check each hole, and carry out all trash found. I will keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and like all Brad’s videos. 😉
As a long time scout volunteer, they've always had a "leave no trace" philosophy. Unfortunately until the 1950's I think that meant burying your trash. Now it means taking everything with you to dispose of properly when you get home.
You came back for a "BoyScout" find but, you found things "preceding and proceeding" that timeline? Essentially, you covered more history than you expected?... Good video Man!...👍
Great video, awesome finds! More surprising than the fact they may have left the discarded Pepsi bottle behind, they left ¢10 behind! When I was a kid and you found a deposit bottle WHEWEEE FREE MONEY! LOL
In the old days in Australia , Scouts used to have a system called Burn Bash and Bury. Nowadays, what you take in you you take out. Tne scarfs (neckerchiefs) we're connected by a woggle.

Yes, I remember several scout leaders throwing coins into the bushes just before we did a camp cleanup.
Yeah but they didn’t find the coins or the trash they left behind …they were ready to get back home!!!😁
Thank you for a clean, family friendly show. I always enjoy your adventures.
Looks like a bottle opener, Sand Springs to open up the Sands Springs bottle. Fun hunt Brad, glad you brought up the scouts leaving no trash behind rule.
I agree! Not enoungh leverage to open a can due to the short handle. Also, the tool isn't sharp enough to pierce the top of a can.
Definitely a bottle opener.
We called it a "church key" back in the day.
I came here to comment the same. Bottle opener. They were necessary because the old bottles ( soda and beer) had crimped tops and were almost impossible to open without that tool. Many people had openers on key chains.

I drank out of an exact looking Pepsi bottle like that one in 1960.
Does anyone remember the the store display that had the plastic scroll that you pulled out over the bottle caps on the carton below so you could stock another carton of drinks on top? The scroll would roll back up when you lifted the carton off.
I so very much love the way you wonder about the story behind your finds. ❤❤❤

Enjoyable stories to think about.
Goodmoring Brad. Great show
I love things that tell a story you get to tell them which is great 🎉
Another great video, Brad. I love your imagination for your stories. Keep up your hunting and adventure into the hills of Vermont. Thanks again.
I really love the music on this one
This was so cool! Thanks for taking us along!
A pleasure watching your videos. Thanks for bringing us along 😊

Thanks for sharing your video!
What a fun hunt. I came across a similar coin spill at a park and found out it was a coin hunt for little kids and these were the missed coins
Brad , I love the way you tell stories about things ! Thank you for the adventure and seeing some amazing finds !
What a great area to search, all kinds of good stuff!
Thanks Brad for another great video. I think that that can opener is actually a bottle opener, the Boy Scouts probably use them to open their soda pop. Thank you.
Long term subscriber. Love your shows, you have the best quality on you tube.
I bet the Scouts were pitching pennies.
Happy Friday, Sand Springs bottle is from my neck of the woods. 😊 Thank you for another great video!!
Another great video Brad! The buckle is an old cinch buckle that went to the straps on the back of a pair of mens trousers before belts became widely used. I found one a few years ago at an old homeplace that dated 1880's-1930's and had to do some digging to find out what it was. Cool find!
I always look forward to your Friday new video posts Brad, your enthusiasm is infectious bud. 😃 Have a great weekend. - Dave
Very Nice Brad!! Cheers buddy! JJ
How cool to find the bottle and the bottle opener. Awesome hunt.
Thank you for the effort and excellent in your videos. I’m new to detecting, I haven’t received my detector yet, but I’m doing my research and excited to enjoy the hobby. Keep the dream going and I will follow you and maybe contribute something to share soon.
Your sights are always incredible, and your narration takes us right there with you into history- well done!
Nicely done Brad really enjoy your videos. 🇺🇸
💥💥💥💥Looks like your powers of detection do not require a machine....The force is strong with you young Skywalker.
Brad...well done!
Boy Scout Troops usually had what is called a :Chuck Wagon" with all the necessary utensils and some staples for backwoods camping! 40 years experience! Fun video!
Meant to add that the chuck wagon usually had multiple hinges!
i agree our troop had a big green one home made. fit perfect in the back of a ford station wagon.
I loved the video brings back lots of great memories. My father was a scout master for 25 years and no i never made eagle. Look forward to next Friday!
You never disappoint! Another awesome episode Brad! Good luck on your next adventure!

Whenever you find a bottle, it’s important also to examine the bottom. It can be quite informative; you can use the embossed letters and numbers (if present) to determine who manufactured the bottle and even when.
Happy Friday Brad! Thank you 😊
awesome my friend, i always watching your youtube channel❤
An awesome place for Boy Scout relics!
I would say the back of the padlock looks cut, you can see a cut mark, a circle had been removed. .. If it had been shot the metal would have been pushed back and jagged. Again some great finds, what a beautiful place to spend your time 😊
School locker combination locks often had a circle where the master key, kept by the principal (or troop leader?) could open the lockers, trunk, etc, on the back. In fact they still make them.

I can remember when I was a kid I was a boy scout and we did all kinds of fun goofy things when we were up in the hills on our campouts.
What an awesome glimpse into the early 1940's and earlier. Nice job scoring a couple of cool bottles too. Great video as always, Brad!
HAY BRAD, MY WIFE AND I SHARE YOUR ENTHUSIASM FOR THE HOBBY. GREETIN'S FROM CREEL CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO. A LOT OF COOL ADVENTURES, AND FINDS ALONG WITH THEM I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU VISIT HERE, YES THERE ARE MANY COOL PLACES TO DETECT. ALREADY LOOKIN' FORWARD TO THE NEXT INSTALMENT OF GREEN MOUNTIAN M.D... STAY COOL BRAD... PEACE...
Maybe the Girl Scouts used that camp site also pertaining to that Softball charm. Keep up the great work 👍😊
Good show!
That was a cool hunt man.
Brad the buckle at 10:38 does have text on it. I found one exactly like it. Mine has BW&G. More on the chafe bar R I S and a symbol I cant make out. Great videos Brad. They make my week.
Great dig! I wonder how many of those 1940s pennies were the steel cents. I found a couple before and they are really cool.
always interesting and informative as usual Brad !.
Everytime I watch these videos I have a craving for sharp cheddar
Hey Brad. Maybe the scouts were pitching pennies and almost got caught. Had to leave them where they were. The soft ball pendant is a cool find. The recipient would be in their 90s, by now...
HEY! Good morning Brad and thumbs UP!
Brad so I figure, the Treasure Chest was found by the Boy Scouts. They tried to pry off the paddle lock with a jack knife and snapped the blade throwing it far in frustration. So, in desperation after cooling themselves off with a nice swig of cola resorted to shooting the paddle lock off. The caliber was so huge that the round went through the chest blowing off a hinge. They gathered around the small chest and to their wonder found a stash of coins. They pocketed the silver and tossed the coppers for another Treasure Hunter to find! Truly enjoy your videos!
Hey Brad
That RC bottle as well as the Pepsi was still in use into the mid 60's.
At least in southern Calif.
The broken pocket knife may have been hit by a plow or disc which scattered it across the land.
I now live in Kansas where a lot of wheat is grown.
After a crop has been harvested, the ground gets disked or plowed up for planting some other crop such as corn or soybeans.
when the ground is freshly turned, I sometimes find bits and pieces of metal and pottery when checking the dirt for moisture.
I have never found a whole item, likely due to the decades of turning the ground.
Thank you for the great videos you post.
Work Safe, Be Well
Enjoy Life
Certainly not a can opener, but a cool cap lifter! Great find!
great stuff thanks
Nice finds, thanks.

As a long time scout volunteer, they've always had a "leave no trace" philosophy. Unfortunately until the 1950's I think that meant burying your trash. Now it means taking everything with you to dispose of properly when you get home.
Quite the high-class Boy Scout who brings his own bottled spring water along on a campout
I used to work in a Antique shop and the old buckle looks like it might of come off the back of a cap, to adjust the fit. I love your videos!
You came back for a "BoyScout" find but, you found things "preceding and proceeding" that timeline? Essentially, you covered more history than you expected?... Good video Man!...👍
Cool to have found 2 things from Sand springs.
Great video, awesome finds! More surprising than the fact they may have left the discarded Pepsi bottle behind, they left ¢10 behind! When I was a kid and you found a deposit bottle WHEWEEE FREE MONEY! LOL
I really enjoyed this!

Good Morning, Brad - Yes - Leave no Trace is a Scouting fundamental, but, believe it or not - did not start until much later in Scouting history.
