    I've got an 80 year old friend who didn't stop horse shoeing until he was 74. And, he did it all by hand without using the fancy new machines, never used a grinder/shaper, just used knives, files, scrapers and pliers. He's also retired Military having split 40 years between Regular Army, Reserves and Illinois National Guard. He retired with the rank of 1st Sargent and trained my nephew and dozens of others whom I have known. At 80, he's still as tough as all those nails you've been digging up.

I can see and love how much you love the wilderness and trekking through the woods looking for history. I watch every week and just want to thank you for keeping such a rich history alive. 👍🏻

      Sir love your comment. I learned from my small channel people don’t go out themselves for literally a hundred different reasons. I never ask but just from people volunteering I’ve learned that. But sometimes I’ve found they don’t because they just haven’t thought about it. $100 dollar detectors now are the equivalent of $1000 machines a few short years ago. That’s about all you need. Take care.

      I was looking for this exact discussion. Do you have an idea of what that coin spill would be similar to in todays money? In my mind I’m thinking a week or more of “wages” for the time. I’m try and figure out but would appreciate your input.

    • @zworm2
      @zworm2 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      A penny or a cent used to be valuable. A dollar a days wage and good money.. I started work at 14. 40 hours per week and earned 10 pounds british. 25 pence per hour. Working union shop in a grocery store. @@legacyXplore

      ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@legacyXplorea Spanish Colonial 8 real coin (also known as a piece of 8 or Spanish Dollar) was the equivalent of a US Dollar at the time and was in fact legal US currency for a long time. A 1/2 real was = to 6.25 US cents.
      A farm laborer in VT at this time (1830’s) might make @ $.60-.70 day + board, so this was like an hour or two’s wages by that calculation. (11.25 cents in silver)
      According to online inflation calculators the US Dollar is worth @35 times what is was in 1834 (according to one online calculator), so these 11.25 cents are worth roughly $4 in today’s money by that measure.
      I think the value in labor is more accurate for “impact”, so whoever lost it would probably feel the same way you or I would if we lost @$20-30 (farm labor was pretty cheap and usually included board)

    Some of my best finds have been in the middle of nowhere. Hunters used to go deep into the woods for game back then, while others may have been looking for a good spot to build a cabin. There may have even been a cabin near that area at one time. They can be very hard to find if there's no cellar hole to give it away. Happy hunting.

  • @markd3250

    When I first saw that small piece you said was drawer pull hardware, my first thought was it looked like a peg to hold the end of a string in the body of a stringed instrument, like a guitar. As I watched you pick up those silver coins, I thought of the time and distance between when they were dropped, and you picking them up. You're the first person to touch them since they were dropped. It always gives me a feeling of instant connection to the past, the times, people, and whatever was going on at that moment when it was dropped. What a treat. Great video!

It’s so relaxing and comforting knowing that an animal isn’t going to suffer anymore and will still be alive to enjoy another day. Great show, as always.😅😊

    Brad, you just found two awesome silver coins. Most people watching don't realize how awesome they really are. I've been detecting for twelve years now and I have not dug an old silver coin . I have dug plenty of old silver coins, when I say old I'm talking about late (1890's up to 1964. I too would be shaking if I dug an old silver like the ones you just dug. I've gone to old Mexico metal detecting with friends where my friends have dug 1600's, and 1700's but the oldest silver I've dug in Mexico was a1906 silver fifty Centavos which was awesome but not nearly as awesome as your coins. I live in California and most of our old parts of town have been remodeled and paved over with concrets or ashpalt. Keep digging and I will keep watching and am super happy for you when you find those goose bump silver coins. Congrats and thank you for talking us along with you.

( bus tokens, spurs, Chinese coin, meteor, old pennies and nickels, my dad's lost wedding ring !, .... so much fun !!! , gold jewelry with tiny diamonds ( so much more ).
