Metal detecting homesteads in the mountains. | Ep 208 #metaldetecting #treasure #manticore

Some twenty or so years ago a couple in California found two large mason jars on their property filled with gold coins, some of them extremely unusual and made the discovery known. The Federal government tried to seize the entire lot from them claiming that it was the proceeds of a robbery that had taken place somewhere in 1858. It is my understanding that the claim failed although they were hit with a substantial tax around fifty percent. Yes, such a find is very nice and we celebrate the occasion. But given the piratical attitude of the thieves in city hall, the state capital, and Washington DC, my suggestion next time is to enjoy your find but keep the news to yourself.

A German colonial tradition was to bury a jar with coins in the East, West, North and south directions around the house. Like the horse shoe over the door it was suppose to bring good luck.

The clickbait 👍🏻😆….for an empty jar. Well done.

I think the horseshoe of rocks is runoff protection of some sort

The bullet is a military practice round. It was used to practice loading, dry firing, and cycling the rifle action. Probably a 1903 Springfield. Holes and grooves were to make sure you weren't "playing" with live ammunition. Good video!!!

Brilliant job really injoyed lots keep up the good work allways a 👍 from me

That's really good soil! Perfect for planting.

Pretty cool finds!

Very nice and well done there ! Congrats on the finds too :) ATB - David

The rectangular brass find with crosshatching looks like a plate for striking matches possibly attached to a bar. Just a tip: brass items safe in the ground for over 100 years do not appreciate being smashed against a steel trowel 10 seconds after coming out of the ground!

Hi DM. Great video and hunt's 👍. Congrats on all the relics. Im amazing at all the old home sites that have probably never been hunted. Around here in Michigan, it's almost impossible to find virgin ground to hunt. Please give buddy Gunner a kind petting for me . Hes so cool 😎. Thank you for letting me tag along. Luv the big sky country, so beautiful there. . As always super enjoyed your video buddy. Take care and stay well. Gregg😃

When you find rings, make sure to screen the hole for a precious stone that may have dropped off the setting

Very nice

good hunt, keep swinging.

The cartridge at 12:04 looks like a K98 training round. I know the germans were training their recruits to operate their weapons with similar rounds during WW2. People often detect those all over the battlefields in Europe. It's basically a toy. It has no powder or any type of explosives in it.

94k views on this was incredible. Just stumbled on your channel. I’m enjoying it.

Horseshoe wall could have been an old cemetery.

That is such a beautiful place to me. I think your wife is right about the stones!

The stones look like a European style sheep pen.
