Exploring And Metal Detecting: Gold Mine Found!

a brand new adventure today somewhere deep in the wilds of Virginia can I say Virginia it's deep in the wilds of Virginia and they're working with Patrick's who had never met Lee tempted so I hear so true yeah more or less but your dad as an old-time relic higher you say you might follow some stuff out here years pass so we're gonna look now and see what we can find got a beautiful stream here let's go look at that I think there's gold in it and I have my Peas they're in the truck we might have to come down here again a little bit later nice bedrock run the middle detector over here because you know what I bet you the old-timers party on that Creek did this stretching out with a novelist cuz they're not waterproof it will be in there before it's over let's see what we're gonna do you turn it on you've never used one of these right okay we're just keeping the relics mode what that will do it'll cut out some of the iron some of the little blips of fence wire and stuff so we'll just keep it there you get sensitivity is almost max if you want to bump it up go ahead if not that's okay too and that's about it just turn it on we're in relics are you ready to roll this is the noise you want to listen for okay I saw it just bell tone every time you go over it has a nice good number you know it's not going 83 180 315 okay when you do that sometimes it's flat iron so you have a bobby pin or something all right yeah so get a little bobby pin and this is iron ish so that's the kind of signal you don't want a big so you just you hear it a little bit the clicks X is it's being discriminated out you'd be good to go just click it on you're ready to go if you hear those kind of signals just let them go you want to you want this kind of signal ready area yeah man let's do it let me show you one more thing I look like a swing technique I'll just show it to you once and you do whatever you want but I feel guilty if I didn't at least show you it's basically when you're detecting you want to keep the loop as flat as you can to the ground like it and don't go too fast and just kind of go like this and keep it Rory at the leaf level after a while you're going to notice yourself doing this a lot within about five minutes okay and that you're only detecting what's right in front of you could do that so if you keep it close to the ground nice steady like that that's it you know just nice and steady keep it flat flush yeah what flat in flush not fat and fluffy I love the little stream you have here too we should we should pan for gold in there we're in the gold belt yeah okay so watch out for your boots any cuz you have metal in your boots and your shovel and so you might get some false signals when you go along when you get a good signal I'll show you a couple more a little techniques real quick but yeah let's just keep looking man see me bullets cannonballs never know let's see what's your number just gonna keep moving it back and maybe blow that way a little bit [Music] yeah I'd say dig it no what I normally do yeah just see the street leads back for you could be a shotgun shell that you know another relic hunter found and just to back these to do that back in the day what number you getting now 39 a little low for bullet 46 yeah probably too low for bullet but I think she'd dig it man and you can always use a pinpoint or two if you're not exactly sure where it is yeah normally in woods like this they're not nothings very deep alright the farm yard of the whole Lab if you do the pinpointer you might be a little too close to the loop but you'd be like that's all it just nothing around till it gets completely solved okay probably there but still buried here I think just watch out for bottle tops being fried respect go straight man in there and what that solid G then you're touching when you do that just grab it beeps solid and just reach down there with your fingers and just you get you'll be able to feel it just do you want that solid you said you fired 20 - oh yeah that's a 522 always pleased to pull it now he's not civil war I found something right that's awesome though and if you can find those so you can find a big ol bullet yes okay yeah those are like the smallest one of the smallest things you're gonna find I mean your fine gold nuggets are getting that size big ol bullet no problem at all okay bigger than a 40 on the meter so it's probably not a bullet but I think you should dig it it sounds pretty good let me show you a little technique and what I would what I do is take it like back no no and just want a solid B you got to get it completely yeah to get this all beat okay it's gonna be right at the tip within like that far no it's just going like that keep going to you get it asabi now he's like this let you do this oh it's not me thank you for talking to Aaron this is the same signal you had before right okay it's okay so what I'm gonna be looking for now is to see is a bar 22 or melted lead because it almost looks like melted lead if that's the case means they had a campfire here probably Sawyer but that's a fired bullet yeah you see a little bit of copper right there something yeah fired modern bowling are moving I return I'm reaching on yet Oh move it barbed wire okay yeah all right barbed wire so put your nail yeah yes it's just rough wire so who knows offense here but yeah I dig the big iron like that Alicia I have a signal over here my very first signal I don't think it's a boy but we're gonna go ahead and dig it together probably yeah I think it's gonna be a carpentry max today zero program I'm discrimination like to use a fictitious reasons MEK some sensitivity to bars I'm gonna change the chocolate show is probably already but it didn't do the pointer fingers you'll see any soil here against myself target so it's not complicating things I'll be very deep in the woods yeah so that's a base 2h 12-gauge shotgun shell and it's made out of brass that's why it sounds good and that signal the number is a number that you could also get with Civil War buttons so you almost have to dig these if you want to dig civil of buttons I think as Peters didn't it but that's all I dig and I'm not digging bullets I'll start skipping them now if I'm digging bullets I'll dig every one of those shotgun shells again they could be a beautiful button having fun what number you got 81 well if there's still one the ground you can hear that's a really good sign if you hit anybody okay that's a good sign what number is it now I could because you're not hearing it with a pin pointer which means it's deeper so it's probably at least another four inches deep and there's a lot more to means it's probably heavy for it's means maybe is very first civil war bullet so pretty shovel so Kate was pre a lot of times I'll do now since you have a losses you put your pin pointer in here and just reaching with your fingers and pick it up does that sandy soils pretty easy to do yeah see you should bill drive that pretty easy see crazy you're gonna get hooked if it's a boy look you know that right thing down I'll be quiet I'm bossy they didn't home that's kinda like watching paint dry and he's an artist so I guess they had there's a modern rifle bullet yeah see modern beeping rifle solid copper jacket didn't even see the LED right there play out oh I thought you wanted man but that was good though I mean you heard it loud and clear your nice big signal and cover this from you and you got to dig those signals all day long beautiful big signal right here I'm fearful doctor doctor Thunder really doctor thunder Sam Choy's over gold never heard of it nice little signal right here I suspect this from your shop and show what if I have a few more knows but it's a little bit higher that's what we ready to see you 23 Moo 222 I guess yeah so yeah it's cool tree right over there look at that got a bunch of names carved in it if Jeb Stuart's on it yeah really read any of it [Music] wasn't that long ago these trees in the woods would actually have soldiers means and units carved in them beautiful tree though Wow you know what I'm gonna jump down there just a rowing machine over here for a second what do you think oh yeah I think that's waterproof too just don't get the Box in the water but the coil you can put any more okay kind of looking to see if there's some black really see any black seeing now some of you have probably pretty mineralized as there are gold mines pretty close to here and zero I don't see if anything in here [Music] hopefully I needed all right let's put the stuff down then we'll get the pinpointer out it's right in here yeah clear out a little bit see if we can see it he's a giant gold nugget I'm gonna be awesome let's see anything in there I've done everything it's a little like that comes in and go tucks back under so probably was flooded something went back up in here who's that means it's something right but whole thing is you get it for sure now right yeah you see fired modern bullet I do believe copper jacket it's small I can't say product a pistol bullet Mises targets here in the water there's a pretty little bullet right there like that nice Nikolas the big iron signal here so I went ahead and dug it I don't know what it was but that gets this is an ax part of a broken ax head I don't know Holly smashy things so much if they were just using it and would that's incredible that's the rest of us there what it is they came up out of the bottom from down there for the stream is where I put on the bullet and that big tree we looked at and we're gonna go up on top but the hills a little bit and look up in here that's pretty cool way back here that's awesome yeah it's kind of walking the ridges a little bit see if I can find a place where maybe they were camping out a small fire people have detected here before back in the day when they approve opossum bullets we might get lucky to assistance for iron those square nails and stuff that might have been in boxes that they burn fashion boxes and ammunition boxes more than blips of motor lid hearing they'll cure it out all right so still up on top here in fact the last scene I just ended her here and wanted to show you something not many signals uphill I started getting into some iron here moving along as my shovel so there's really not much iron anywhere else in the woods except right here I was hearing some but as I looked over that's a new fence post propolis yeah it's an old fence post right there's a cedar fence post and if you see the barbed wire in the tree right there as well so when you're walking through the woods you start hearing random iron like that but in the concentration that but not anywhere else always check for that look for old post or fence wire in trees or maybe even dig a piece of - just to make sure it's not square nails because that's the same signal that you'll get when you start coming upon a home site or a camp if you're not hitting the coins and the buttons right away that's where the fence was up there and I've dug a couple shopping gels already since the top of the hill and I saw this little depression so I want to check it out and just make sure was it some type of like you know something went on there like a home site or cabin or a little baby trench or you know Hut site from the Civil War and I don't think that's what it is because you just cut that hole there you get this mounted up dirt right here and it kind of looks to me like this is probably a tree fall like that would have been with tree stood fell over and drugged the root ball up and down vertically like that and it all rotted away and left this mound here and hold there that's pretty common now I did get a signal though that wouldn't dig together and it sounded pretty good so moving the 60 so some suspicious that's gonna be nuts shotgun shell I had dougie hassle of shotgun shells out here today so I moved it see just by using my feet I didn't have to use a shovel yet we kicked it up out of the hole and with any luck you probably see it pretty quickly Maxime very quickly yourself try again here it's right there it's another one of those little pistol bullets like they found in the stream down there a few minutes ago same thing so someone you know someone probably has a range up there and we're behind it that's why there's so many bullets here there's flinging through the air for half a mile and landing in the woods here I had suspected to notice it's not really deform so it didn't hit a tree or rock or anything the other one was the same way I traveled a long ways I lost his energy to Fort Sumner back to earth [Music] I've been finding so pistol bullets I'm looking for whether it's a fired bullet or melted piece a little lid did I just found this across the creek yeah okay that's nice that's a modern yeah Walmart and Post have water yeah that's a piece of wood you know it's hard to say about that one looks almost like small this is the fired one from earlier so they are different yeah it's definitely different that's a 22 for sure there's too much lead here to be 22 and it looks like it might have been around at one time so it could be a piece of buckshot or okay it would be civil where it you know it could be Civil War vintage hard to say without I wanted to go ahead and show you this target I am digging a ton of shotgun shells and fire bullets but this is a piece of brass or copper and what it actually is well it's be surprised but it's a fired bullet this is the copper jacket 2e fired bullets he's really thin and if you look in the center that's where a like a lead core would have been sometimes steel the military would you steal but yeah at least in the old days I don't want to use now but you know that's what the lead core would have been right there the rest of the bullet and that part came out I just want to show that to you there's not something to find a whole lot of in my videos and I probably don't show them to you at all anyway man just a lot of fire bullets here Patrick's working on the hill over there and that's where I found that lead Jack a copper jacket to the bullet and started hitting a little bit iron in here so I slowed down I got a good signal right here that there's going to be a silver bullet I mean it's pretty good-sized not like a little bullet so it's not like the other ones refining sorry just go ahead and set you up just in case it's a really civil working working fine that tells me since we're not hearing it that it's still very good ways which is a good sign all right it's a high enough signal that could ease Oh could be a some more air but if you see one yet all right I want Patrick to finally know look we're just Patrick I were just talking about that about wearing gloves and they say you always hear the word wolves and I said well you know in the river but maybe you don't worry about it in the woods so much no did you just see what I should see up close it is a bottle with a lid on it this is 17 cents and broken I can tell that that's probably more pieces in there so you always have to be really careful about this stuff these type of bottles in the woods that have these caps that you can hear that's pretty cool I don't know what that was in there but all right I'm gonna try to get that lid off I'll take the lid oh but I'm not gonna carry that glass in my bag I'm just gonna ribery without the metal so no one will be able to dig it again or will want to dig it again because it won't hear it I started up a bottle holy they're not too far from Patrick right Oh something like this it just looks like you might be something going on here bunch of rocks there so that well it's marks on the bank over there what you're probably natural but I just have a good feeling about this general location this is weird and way that's with that little Valley right there it's like almost like Ruben is spring but probably not stream the little stream let's go over there that's where I want to go right now flat right there that just looks like a place I'd camp if I were that Civil War soldier all right where you go oh the trash in here that's where we were just a few minutes ago Patrick soldiers are digging and the rocks that we were looking at we're pretty interesting and there is a beam right there could be a natural tree but that's piece of ward so there might have been a me all day I'm here one time I want to look around a little bit closer definitely go or not area right there that just looks sweet to me and right over there all right less talking more digging so I came over the stream I took a piece of wood and there was no iron and it started off was being or not but right there is been dug out by man it looks like they built a berm all the way around it like might be a pawn but there's no reason to build upon there with a stream let's go there and check it out that could be goldmine related I'm hoping anyway there's no this is a man-made hoard here and that's that flat area that looks like a pond is a bunch of iron in here I'm not a bunch for a lot more than the rest of the woods I'm gonna dig some of this up and see what it is might just be trash to be confence wire haven't heard a squeak yet but put a few pieces up see what is and all that you know in a few minutes this is what a lot of the iron is it's like this pieces of tin now that could be Civil War vintage there's just no way to know if I get some better targets I turned the camera back on I'm not gonna film everyone take that promise that's I think I look like a pond over there I've actually come back past it again ahem dougie anything but iron the big piece of iron laying up and it's a tree so I suspect or not the first detectors to be in here but that's an old piece right there that's a big heavy handle off or something I guess don't worry I would have a hole there but the old times would just take yourself in pitching against the trees but there's a lot of iron here I can see where the grounds definitely been disturbed up there you can see bumps and lumps so hopefully we'll start getting into something soon that's encouraging Ellie slightly encouraging that's the bottom we just found out handle and check this out this is definitely man-made Wow do you know they're looking for gold that's what this is and this is where they were digging for gold you can see some more when we're up that hill I I'd bet money on it they might not have found any but they were looking we need to get some pans and come back ah that's what it is a lot of gold activity in this area oil pardon several prior to the gold strikes in California this was the area in the United States where most of the gold was coming from once they hit in California everybody went out there but yeah this is exactly what this says this is awesome let's find some gold coins a drop or say had slaves work in these mines pretty much imagine they were dropping the raw gold coins I swear it's awesome the trenches of course the stream there's a nice big train Tracy let's go look at that real quick well definitely running machines over here of this I'm sure this was all pan back in the day well some gold nuggets in here Taylor I'll get that well they have a thought almost a shaft right there so they were finding gold but there probably wouldn't have done that much work if they weren't finding something so that's where they were thinking some shafts probably this Hill is loaded with him ah neat it's nice a nice little mining over here yeah look at this yeah however do or doesn't come back and do some panning cool look there's some nuggets tell yes devil worshipers exactly been going for a while oh never mind Larry Witch Project let's get he spotted some treasure let's go get it it's awesome hey Mitch from the gold miners back in 1820 maybe a lot or some disgusted relic hunter yeah you know that could have been somebody in here looking for gold you know maybe running a sluice it looks like it's been dug out right there by your foot yeah so they could have been sluicing back here or something that's a beauty I think you were digging that hole right there it's a cobalt brand you've already take it you can't you get real aren't they life have got lifetime guarantees warranties on I hate to admit it but I kind of got Gold Fever and I gave up on the relics I'm I'm working the stream bank with a detector and I'm getting little pieces of iron and stuff I haven't found any gold nuggets yet but you know what we're gonna come back here at least with some pans is they do have some pans with me in the truck we don't have enough time today but maybe tomorrow I think we'll come back if they start finding gold we'll bring a sluice out here and we're just gonna have a good old time some signals here I think it's iron ore just reading kind of irony though small pieces of something Biggi mostly just like fence wire initial fire wait I suspect that's easily get that real quick all right so yep that's why we're some type of little nail I guess that's an eel actually all right look around a little bit more four five big ol chunk of gold I'll show it to you pretty soon we have to start heading back as a sudden getting pretty low on horizon no treasures yet but we did find a great place to come back to we're coming back I can promise you on that right I just heard Patrick calling me he says he found something he wanted me to look at so let's go up there together good make it looks pretty happy oh yeah yeah that's a stone so notches off yeah that's awesome man breaking rocks look for gold just like a awesome man congratulation that's pretty cool there it is that's nice pull it back down the hill tumbling back down yeah lots of diggings up here as you can see and that little pond looking thing I was telling you about Freight in the bottom that probably wasn't have a thing where maybe he had some sluices are down there and the bard in the process the material my first relic yeah what is it my paws are digging that Creek right there see if you know what it is do you know what it is that is the spoke of a civil war canteen it's part your drink out of so there's the canteen over our dirt away did you yeah oh it's pewter so yes yeah that's definitely like pewter specialist probably the soldiers are here we should be able to find some bullets yeah I think we should look around some what do you think yeah do it sometimes they have writing on the manufacturers and soldiers would actually carve the name some time so we do definitely need to look at that a little closer definitely H adde in dot something.com pc dot p is it like scratched in or is it stenciled looks almost like it's our sense of like stamp okay let me come up yeah I don't know if that's a manufacturer that probably is a manufacturer so it is a spout with hat and be manufacturing hopefully yeah yeah it's that yep patent it is a name and they did make 1858 they made bullseye eight ring canteens slowly let's do it man the stream is probably paint with canteen spouts just dug this little spoon Bowl and the creek that could be from the civil where absolutely it's not pure of like copper it's good sorry I mean there's targets in the water tiny come on man I'll have to get y'all for this one I had a nice signal right here and dug it out it's a scream really really good it's been going to here somewhere you see it I don't like a coin or something that could be a joyful casing but oh no a big old Chuck wouldn't believe I just wasted 2% of my battery on that well at least I can say I found a coin not Civil War some modern penny I don't know what state that's for him don't worry back down there where the mind trenches are and I just dug a cool little stone wedge man things been hammered uh that nickel bent up it is I like it Arrowhead or something over knife that's definitely all look that's definitely been work that's all edged right there that could be like for uh you know a scraper or something like that that's definitely worked stone that's a tool that's pretty cool a tool now if you come back here with a rake man just raking leaves Offin find some more of these things my wife's father said there's several trees back in the woods back in the sixties Eddie Carver named Jay s this is initial oh that's cool and that's my wife was my wife's initials as well 1968 they ignore the cursing or that's Virginia see oh so someone carved the outline of a jigna F the south really everywhere in Virginia I mean you know you can tell this yeah that's pretty cool yeah far as Fisher's date and well let's just say he wasn't happy with herself we did that all right guys I have to go over Barry's of all dead we're gonna look around a little bit more and we only found one relic but it was cool but we found a gold mine yeah I'm gonna get back and do some panning and maybe some more detecting and get some nuggets so we'll see you again on the next one thinking about it she'll shake the coins from your pocket take your cocaine and you're like I think we just found a hippie hangout check out it's pretty wild in it it says Patrick's little hideaway in the woods it's awesome [Music]
