    That is not just a hook and chain! That is a trophy that you earned to show the world the constitution of a true dedicated detectorist! BE PROUD, SHOW IT!!

    It was fun to see what experimenting with different programs can do in terms of depth and treasure. Good show! Actually liked that kitchen knife quite a bit. Cleaned up great!

    Those were some deep targets! You had some cool finds and odd ones as well. Umi liked the history on the Durkee brand bottle cap. The vintage hair clip was lovely and congrats on your silver dime. 💖💯

    Looking out my window here in Michigan and it looks like a beautiful day to dig, just like what you have there. I have a logging ghost town I found on a old Army map. I hope some of your luck rubs off. Keep kicking the dirt, Greg. Great video.

    Greg, two great digs and glad it was not hot for you. I am stumped on both mystery finds. Loved the railroad spikes and horseshoe. The Durke cap was very cool as well as the hair clip. Nice you were able to open it back up. You bound and determined to get that big chain out. The most piles of dirt I have ever seen. Persistence pays off 😀I would have had a panic attack if that snake came down, are they venomous in your state? Always enjoy your photos. Take care and keep having fun.👍👏😀

    Hey greg! I believe this week's mystery find is the top of an old door lock pull off of a vintage car

  • @jkeys49
    @jkeys49 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This is not really about this video but I do have a comment about the railroad spikes you find with no head.
    First I’m not saying that that’s not exactly what they are but unless you see definite signs of damage consider they may be part of a piece of farm equipment called a spike tooth harrow.
    Just an observation.
    I really enjoy watching your videos. I’m a photographer and editor so I appreciate the effort you put into making them.
    Happy digging!!

    • @FindingAmerica
      @FindingAmerica  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks so much for watching my videos and very glad you enjoy them. I'm pretty confident that most of them are RR related as most of them have tell tale damage to them and even a RR spike's head can snap off pretty cleanly as well. I'm also quite often near a track when I'm out in these old towns. That being said, some might originate from a harrow. It would be hard to tell for sure but in this case when I have found three complete RR spikes, the odds would favor that the broken one recovered nearby would be a RR spike too.. ATB Greg

    @richardklapka5147 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    That chain was cool And quite a large hole! Last year I dug a 6 pound copper float big nugget! I was really digging a big hole. I'm glad it finally moved/wiggled 12" down. Those long excavations really hurt, if it isn't something cool. Yours was cool! I liked the Durkee history lesson. How a bottle cap find, turns into such a cool history lesson! Good show always Greg! Rk.

  • @jaygordon9554

    The chain and hook may have been an early guy wire anchor for telegraph pole.

    Great video, Greg. I found one of the same Durkee salad dressing caps in northern California. Yours is in great condition! Thank you for the extensive info on Mr. Durkee and his company.

  • @marinoceccotti9155
    @marinoceccotti9155 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Your first mystery find may be a broken vase for one flower, a stem vase, cast in pot metal. The foot and the lip are broken.

    Mystery find maybe clock weight?✌❤

  • @alanatolstad4824
    @alanatolstad4824 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Train photos! #1) Imagine the gawking! #2) the wood guy waving! #3) How was that track laid so that the train didn't sink! And it was a wharf, backing up to the steam boat? #4) Where do you suppose that trestle is located? There's an awesome trestle outside the town closest to the farmstead in North Dakota. (Look up the Highline Bridge!) #5) W-O-W! WHO/WHERE/HOW?!---Yard art! (And what a tale! I want to see the photo!)---I really enjoyed that Digging Deeper segment.

    Closest I can come on your second mystery find is something to do with the Diamond Ice company.

  • @di4bol1c4l7

    Clock weight for mystery find I believe

    I've found the Durkee bottles before, but they never had the cap. Now I know what they look like!

  • @andreworr4307
    @andreworr4307 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think the mystery find might be part of the adjusting arm from a door closing mechanism if the holes in the end are threaded

  • @scottdean7613
    @scottdean7613 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Nice video! You can always show pic of the gandy dancers that bend the spikes.

  • @kiteman357
    @kiteman357 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think the mystery find is the business end of an old lawn dart.

  • @digginrelicsintn9952
    @digginrelicsintn9952 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great hunt Greg! I was beginning to think all I was going to see were railroad spikes. That hook and chain was really cool. How long did you take to dig it out? Also really enjoyed the background story on the Durkees Salad Dressing Co.
