17:34- old condensed milk cans. The give away is the lead/solder seal on the center of the top of the can. 18:21- Old Log Cabin brand syrup can. I remember those as a small child. 23:35 Old leg hold trap (Victor I think, from the "V" on the trigger plate). About the size for a coyote or bobcat. Bait was placed on the round plate. Usually staked to the ground on the end of the chain. They can still break a finger or foot. Now illegal to use in some states. Animals generally suffered greatly until they died or the trapper came by and shot them.
No the trap is not a bait trap it has always been highly illegal to use bait on those traps it is an ankle trap for Fox Wolf mountain lion Coyote and it does not kill the animal it is not meant for the head it is meant for the ankle how about you stop talking about things you know nothing about this is ridiculous....
Rattlers are awesome like that. Its built in alarm has probably saved countless folks from being bitten. Glad he let you know that he was there but if your luck is anything like mine, he was coiled up over that massive nugget you dream of.
I know it takes a lot of time and effort to make these videos. I just wanted to let you guys know I really do enjoy your prospecting detecting adventure's. Thanks for sharing with us.
Great premier Adam🔥 Quite a storm that passed through- that was something seeing the quad tied to the tree, that weather was nothing to mess around with out there! Loved the wire gold💯
The rusted "cabin" shaped can you found is an old "Log Cabin Syrup" can. They are quite collectable in decent condition. Mw old Mum used to buy Old Cabin Syrup when I was a kid, back in the 40's and 50's.
Glad you heard snake rattle, sometimes they don't! Man you have more fun than the law allows ha ha! Glad you're still out there gittin some too. I still get to prospect vicariously because of you and your Pardner so thanks!
😯 Rattler !! I had a very close call with one when I was a kid rabbit hunting with my .22 stepped over a bush I thought was clear of any snake 🐍. The second my foot landed on the other side of the bush I heard that Buzzz, and I knew instantly that I had stepped right over the top of a 3' rattlesnake. I never jumped so high or sprinted so fast before or since. 😂 Gotta always be careful in the desert.
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK - The can that had the soldered hole in the center of the lid is about 100 years or older. There's a good chance it was canned milk.
Hey Adam,...Cool video. I think that rusted can shaped like a house was a "Log Cabin syrup can", and the trap was for mountan lions (when opened up a lion's paw would fit right into it. Gary
I was a Boy Scout and learned many outdoor survival skills like using a compass. And that was way before the Garmin devices. I've even been in other desolate countries and NEVER got lost. Hugging the borders of unfriendly countries, you can't be wondering around.
Nice work guys! Keep it up because I have to live vicariously through your videos now that I've moved back to New Hampshire. We have a little bit of gold here in New Hampshire but it's tough finding it. Not that it's any tougher than Arizona it's just not as well spread out. You have to find a very small area that has some glacier gold. Anyway thank you for the video and the gold fix!
You may not be able to detect for raw gold, but man oh man you sure are in a good region for beeping pre-federal, colonial, post-colonial and early USA coinage!🤑 Swamp
I grew up in New Hampshire and I can tell you right now for a fact it is one million times harder to get the gold in New Hampshire than it is in Arizona. I'm in Arizona right now and I'm finding it laying on the ground so I don't know what the heck you're talking about. Over 30 years in New Hampshire it is hard as hell to find gold and takes alot more work. You aren't picking up nuggets off the ground in NH.....
I see you have a friendly Pines Camp shirt on. My Grandfather was Ray Gardner who worked for the Browns for several years . He built the chapel among many other things at the Camp. Im curious ware about are your at in Arizona. Thanks!!
Love to see your appreciation for the rattlesnake and not killing it. The odds of being randomly bit by a rattlesnake you walk by are astronomically low!
I am not sure if you guys are aware of this or not, but if you get in the habit of sticking a wire flag in the ground when/where you find a piece of gold, you will stand a better chance of locating the source by looking at the pattern of the flags.
Funny you mention going thru with your PI and missing it. I've seen 4 ounce chunks that a PI passed over, not even a whisper and a VLF pick up at 18". Granted these were older PI's, 3k, 3.5k, extremes, etc but so were the VLF's tesoro lobos and bugs. Kinda makes you wonder.
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK erosion and high water. found 2lb nugget after flood shining in the sun. Averaged over 3+ ounces a day after 97 flood for months. Hundreds of ounces chasing high water. You guys know the rewards high water = pounds
That's a victor long spring foothold trap. And the hook on the chain is called drag. I use that design for coyotes/bobcats. The animal gets caught by the toes and runs off and the drag gets caught on brush. Pretty ok setup.. Not my normal set used.
Log Cabin syrup tin. Tops to kerosene heaters. Coyote trap. The grappling hooks on the trap are so the coyote can move but they slow it down so that it doesnt go far. If you tie the trap solid the coyote will break its leg fighting the trap and sometimes chew it off to escape.
hey lads love your work the way you have the cable wrapped on the 6000 can create noise having the cable under the shaft like that and can cause the coil to fail
az statr has known of 100K open pit mines .state interior dept blocked posted unsafe mines of only 9k so there are alot of more mines to inspect duly closed of war effort . needed soldiers, closed mines .several i have spent time still have diesel rock crushers add battery and fuel and they run fine
Well done guys I think about your channel pretty much every day as I brake for bedrock. Bahaha so anyways great channel name and so true as a prospector. You guys from Arizona or California?
Thank you so much ! We are in Arizona ....although,at the moment, boulderdash is in Australia. More videos coming soon. It finally cooled down enough here in AZ
I hate to tell you guys but you started a unfair addiction been to lynx Creek got a lot of gold start a small now I'm getting a metal detector and sluice box thanks alot😊
Thanks for your educational Inspirational vids guys. Being in AZ I get a better idea of what to look for and how. No nugs yet but my time has been limited . Time now to leave the southern Quartzsite area and find good gold country in a cooler climate of AZ. Gain altitude. With my travel trailer doing the 14 day blm shuffle sampling as I find places I've never been.
Well I broke down heading for bedrock within a few miles of an RV park that towed me and gave me a spot I blew the transmission cooler pressure line and dumped all my fluid in a smokey minute. A great pullover site jumped out of nowhere and my 3rd call got me a tow and a campground. At high June noon so at least I'm still close to Quartzsite!. This may work out better. RV boonie hopping can wear ya down. Hookups rec room washer and dryer room spoiled already.
Great video! Luckily I haven't run into a buzzer yet. This is only my second year prospecting in Arizona though. I do have a quick question for you. I live near Casa Grand Arizona and was wondering if I don't mine on any of my club claims that the GPAA and the Roadrunners have, is there a place within an hour or so that has open blm land that might be productive. I have found a very small amount on the club claims but for the effort I have been putting in I was thinking of doing some exploring on my own. Thanks and keep your videos coming. P.S. if your ever out trying new areas and wouldn't mined a tag along I would love to see how you sample new areas and what you look for Thanks Red
Casa Grande is a tough one. If you are already a member of the GPAA and Roadrunners , I would say that you need to drive longer and stay overnight. One day trips from Casa Grande are difficult to be had. Roadrunners have some decent claims and try to prospect the hardest ones to get to.
So I'm just curious are you on your own land, public land or a friend's land or what who's claim are you prospecting under I guess maybe it's the question. Not asking specifically just in general.
The thing on the end of the chain was a drag. When an animal got its foot in the trap and tried to get away, it would catch on something, and it would not get far. One hook is bent one way, the other bent the other way. It leaves an easy to follow trail. The trap was made by Victor.😢😢
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK Going to be grid searching an area soon. Will be panning soil samples but would also like to go over it with a metal detector. I have a GPX 5000 from my brother, but it is a beast to carry and use. What would you recommend for a relatively inexperienced person covering ground and maybe having to spot small gold?
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK That sounds perfect. Thanks. I was thinking either that or the Gold Bug 2, but know you guys are MUCH more knowledgeable. My brother says I can trade the GPX if I want. Know anyone who might be interested?
I have actually done that for six months. It’s best to stay in areas with warm weather. Buy water containers for drinking. Find a good portable shower system that warms up during the day on the roof of your car. Get a really good foam mattress, good stove, and good pans
I'm pretty sure that the trap was for wolf spiders. Also, BoulderDash, you need to do better at making sure your friend doesn't leave the windows down on the quad. Gosh... 😂
my question is why didnt you write down the cords and then use your gps on your phone to get to that spot , i guess someone got over excited about getting to the old mine but failed to do the most important part . but very good gold hunting tho kinda makes me wish i was younger and i didnt have leg problems i would be doing what you are doing it seems like so much fun
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK got you still after watching some of your videos i wish i could get out there and do that too looks fun and i love the out door life and looking at the old stuff they had to work with back then , i would like to make a suggestion for in the future please get a snake stick to be safe that way if they are on you path you can move them easy out of the way .glad you did see it and hear it first . but yeah you got me wanting to try to get out there to explore some and see what i can find of the past . who knows if i can get knee replacements i might be able too anyway good luck and cant wait to see more of ya videos and finds
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK sounds like you're working private land. A friend of mine has a claim on BLM land and in order to cause any major disturbance I need to file a plan of operation and have a reclamation bond in place. I noticed on one of your drone shots that you guys are doing a great job of your reclamation so I assumed you were working BLM or state land or the like. Just hoping to talk to someone who has actually gone through the process to get a few tips or pointers.

Old log cabin syrup container
But you guys have tons of coins and ancient relics . I would like to detect over there for a bit
17:34- old condensed milk cans. The give away is the lead/solder seal on the center of the top of the can. 18:21- Old Log Cabin brand syrup can.

@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK sounds like you're working private land. A friend of mine has a claim on BLM land and in order to cause any major disturbance I need to file a plan of operation and have a reclamation bond in place. I noticed on one of your drone shots that you guys are doing a great job of your reclamation so I assumed you were working BLM or state land or the like. Just hoping to talk to someone who has actually gone through the process to get a few tips or pointers.

The "little house" is a Log Cabin syrup can!
Nice buzz worm
Old fuel container. Dad had one.😂
Arizona?
Affirmative
Glass bottle looks like a boot flask and the house shaped can is log cabin syrup
The can is a maple syrup container from the 1930’s to 1950’s.
