I find a lot of comments on the stash interesting. To ballpark date the stash the WWII trenching tool would be the focal point. Its date is sort of etched in stone. Then money, I find it interesting, humoristic in fact. Back in the day money was money, you had new money and you had old money. Money was based on the Gold standard, you had Gold Certificates and Silver Certificates, and then you had money with Hawaii stamped in big bold Red letters on the back for the money used in Hawaii before it became a state. Remember, Hawaii was not yet a state when they bombed Pearl Harbor, yet America had a huge presence there. It was common let say, in the 40s’ to carry coins more so than paper bills since they were based on the Monetary System at the time, i.e. they were already minted in the units of the Monetary System of the time ( not Certificates for the equivalence in Gold or Silver, a certificate was like an I.O.U.). For certificates, you had to go to a bank and ask for the gold or silver equivalent. Back in the late 50s’ and early 60s’ I was paid most of the time in what you will call old or vintage coins on my paper route, it was just money, plain and simple. The chisel probably started its life out as a 6 foot or bigger hand drill bit. When it becomes too small, you just forge it into something useful, like a chisel. I would ponder to guess that the stash was from a WWII vet, based on the coinage and certificates; along with the trenching tool. Now as to the mine, the vertical shaft is a ventilation shaft, dug by hand, as were the horizontal shafts. I live in Socorro, NM, and out in the yano are thousands of mines, both vertical and horizontal. I have noticed that all of the horizontal mines have these ventilation shafts. There is one mine here where the ventilation shaft is about 800 feet, straight down. I call it the brother-in-law job, i.e. his store-bought wife came with a brother, and to keep him out of hair, he took the brother-in-law to the top of the mountain and told him to start digging there. I do look in amazement at the toil inflicted upon the hard rock mountains. All I can say is that they were some Squirley Mothers back in the day. Another aspect of the dating of the stash is something an old cowboy told me. He said he laughed at the people who would use a metal detector around the old outhouses, in hopes of finding coins that would slip from the pockets of the patrons. He said that everybody used coin purses back then to keep from losing their money. You have to remember that back in the 1800s’ a quarter was a good day’s wage and a lot of money.
That is some seriously beautiful country!! I love 💕 the desert.
Convert your chopper into a mass spectrometer like THE satellite…f* around and find…..
as if lad
Love it
Awesome video
It’s called an army entrenching tool!
Wtf
You guys are bad ass what a cool crew
You placed it there I think lol
Get a garette they can run on different frequencies
Those items were super clean to be nearly 70 years old
This is BS one of those coins is a very modern buffalo silver round. That would have been buried in the mid 2000s or more recent. Smh
Look up AU on youre mineral table , it was on the wall behind you. Shit im a lure maker i wanted to fish that water till you guys found the stash
That is crazy that you guys found that! What!!! So awesome man
Tell me this wasn’t a plant?
I would love to join in on this fun type stuff
If you don’t own a brim you don’t know what it’s like to be cooked by the sun, black is cool 😎 but hot as hell. Also I found the treasure first I buried it for you guys……your welcome 😆 lol. Good looks.
Oh my god please help me find some money like that I’m so poor and on a fixed income live alone I pray I have some luck in my life and God bless you guys for doing such great work together I watch you all the time now and subscribed thank you 😊
The carrier for the shovel is from 44 the shovel looks newer
If the shovel is from the 1940s that just means somebody was up there in the 60s or so and buried those coins in that knife for a reason… I’m sure whoever it was probably planned on coming back up there but never made it and it’s not like your title says were you found treasure! You found a knife a shovel a hammer a few coins in a silver certificate pretty much nothing more that you couldn’t find in a field in central Pennsylvania using a metal detector
The knife/fork is a tourist item from India probably!?
The entrenching tool probably had his last name on it ‘james’ is a common irish surname
That’s some good acting guys! There is no way a wool blanket that is buried for that many years comes out soft and infact like that! Buried wool decomposes within months! Last time watching this channel! Unsubcribed!
That stuff isn’t old. I can find that junk all over colorado and utah. I’m from western colorado that’s not trreaure
That bottle, is probably from someone who had the consumption LOL
Please turn your music down, its too loud and I have to turn the volume down and then back up when you talk….
Actually the army shovel is for the soldiers, to when they have to make a shit.. So they could dig a little hole for their pope.. And that big screw you can losen it so you can open and fold it easier :))
Knife and fork combo are from India. They are pretty common. Still yet it’s buried treasure.
Who’s Land IS IT THAT Your On ??? My land is not Posted , but someone comes on MY Land and starts TAKING Things that are Not Theirs … they best be ready for a fight. Did you look up the deed ?, did you ask for Permission ? Or do you all just assume because there is no dwelling and its in the middle of nowhere , that you can just go looking for stuff to take ?????
Becareful out there I was there 10 days and sun burnt a hole in my arm. Are those notes, silver notes? Or just dollars. Paper dollars in 1920 are worth money. The buffalo silver nickel is worth money. Look those up. Fantastic find
Where is that gun and money then?
Awesome
Clickbait…. make it look like you found some bandits 1m dollars or something
metal detectors found everything but metal crazzy
Awesome finds!!!!
How and why did it take me so long to find this channel? It all started with a giraffe driving a tank in the snow.
Cool finds thanks for sharing. Love the helicopter footage.
I enjoyed ever minute of it but more so, the low flying around the river. I have always wanted to hover and fly slowly around rivers like that. Even dreamt about it, too.
Take it to a local pondshop
You know everybody wanted to see the mine cart full of guns
Whites, Tesero or Garrett and minelab are the only GOOD detectors people should be investing in. You’ll enjoy the hobby a lot more with the right tools for the job. Bounty hunter detectors are STRAIGHT up garbage.
Wtf where’s Dave????
My Favorite video i need to come explore Utah!!! Your state is way cooler than I Imagined.
Click bait
If you ever need a expert operator hit me up
Love the show guys…Dave is a good luck charm.
wait, you have a helicopter but can’t afford a decent metal detector? Those Bounty Hunter detectors are PoS….get a PI machine if you want to find gold.
i like your chanle just started watching today keep up the good work man
I think that one feller wants some weed. Someone said something about finding some chewing tobacco he wanted to smoke it, then he talks about finding a bong.
