- Metal detecting Colonial sites can produce such a wide variety of finds and some even Bizarre
My channel / thiltzy1
Dedicated to metal detecting and preserving Historical relics from early Colonial America sites in New England
Thanks for all your comments people and kind words, Sincerely. Believe it or not, the comments always motivate me to continue uploading even though it takes way to much time
+thiltzy1 did you ever get news about those dentures, the time period,if they belonged to the same person and if there was a body lower in the ground.
No body that we are aware of, we think they are late 1890's but not sure. Talked to a dentist for their opinion and thats what we came up with
+thiltzy1 really fascinating. i was wondering if the silver was not a way of always having passage on you if ever something happened ,or even a form of disguise for a n actor or a fraudster.
+martine. mjt disguise or if the dentures were not for an actor...............
+thiltzy1 Maybe the dentist who made them was traveling through the woods & they fell out of his bag when he encountered a bear & quickly had to run up a tree : ) poor guy!
the most bizarre find I've ever seen was when a guy dug up another metal detector
+p s lol..omg that is funny
...the metal detector was stashed there no doubt. did u ever have someone respond to a vid and claim anything that was theirs.
+Ross Keene.. never had that....it was really just the handle off the metal detector...it was in the corner of field most probably the result of fly tipping
I've watched thousands of MD videos. Those teeth take the cake and eat it too. Craziest thing I've seen. Saw the pictures earlier and now I get to see them dug. Not that it overshadows all the good early relics and coins you guys find. Your videos are always worth watching.
+TheDakotaRed1 Thanks a lot Dakota. That really means a lot to us
That open frame buckle is a beauty Todd. Glad to see it recovered in one piece.
Nice pile of finds, and Dave's teef spill was one in a million. Great catch on vid.
+Trooper Bri Haha Bri, thanks
Wow - that's crazy! You might need to change your outro to "Preserving Dentistry through Metal Detecting". What a wild find for Dave! HH
+Tarheel Diggin' lol
That find gives the word "weird" more depth.
+HoschtonBoy hehe, it does
Cool Hunt Guys! Couldn't believe the "Denture Spill" That's awesome HH , Nice Old Coppers Too!
+Dirt Hawk Thanks, glad you enjoyed
That's not "4" sets of false teeth, it's only 2 sets.
2 upper and 2 lower = 2 sets of teeth.
+BloodTar This had already been addressed but thanks anyway
thiltzy1 Oh, okay.
Always enjoy watching you and Dave hunt, usually he's scrambling trying to find a copper after you found two. Guess Dave bit off more than he could chew this time!! LOL!! Awesome hunt Todd, and a killer knee buckle!
+CoinandRelicOntario yeah todd did better than me this year in the copper dept.but he don't have a roy rogers riders token! lol
+heavymetalnut1965 Lol Dave...this is true
Were any of those toofuses marked "G.W?" If we imagine early American history, we know George had a number of false choppers made over the years, including a set of floating wooden beauties, right after he'd sneezed his uppers over the side of the boat while crossing the Potomac River. When his dentist was forced to flee and hide from the Red Coats advance, he sought refuge with his brother in law's wife, who was living alone because her hubby was away battling the British Navy. The dentist hid them, but was shot by the brother in law when he returned unexpectedly eight months later, so they were never returned to George. Seriously though, a one of a kind find and the hunt wouldn't have been complete without a spoon.
Wouldn't his brother in laws wife be his sister.
+Robert moss Very astute!
+Robert moss well if his wife has a brother who is also married then no
+soul__seeker__ You may be correct. George might be his maternal grandpa's first cousin's toothless uncle, twice removed. Or not. Dentition doesn't lie.
I hope you kept the dentures. In the right market you can get a fair amount for them. Oddity shops love stuff like that...and me...lol!
Stoney don't make silver supporting structure in false teeth. And that was 2 sets - each set contains an upper and lower plate. The lower is of course the horseshoe looking plate.
Killer hunt. Congrats on all the amazing finds. Dave definitely took the cake with that crazy weird disgusting find. Hahaha
I wonder if Dave ate his lunch after that?
+The Hoover Boys Thanks as always Kurt. Nice choppers aye?
He should wear them
That is the weirdest find ever. But so cool and creepy.
Nice job on the video. Very entertaining!
+V3i Sweeper Thank you Sweeper
Very well done video! The fast motion piece is a nice touch to break up the standard video. I stumbled on to your channel and have subsequently subscribed. :-)
+David Main So glad you enjoyed it
Another great video and couple of hunts. The teeth are great! Too bad there were no gold teeth in there!!!
+Wldbil That would have been even better
When my parents died, I buried their dentures under a (if tears could build a stairway) plaque on top of their grave.
What a wonderful hunt guys! Never seem to disappoint!
+Pennsylvania Treasures Glad you still appreciate the vids
Gr8 videos,keep them comming.Love the'mouth-spill'ha,ha.Just shows what people leave in the earth .Dialogue really interesting and family friendly.Can't wait for more ! GPJ,England
+Gail Jackson Thanks Gail, appreciate the comment
That hit #1 on my bucket list of NOT to find. Otherwise great video and love that CT copper. You guys do great work
+swanzeysearcher thanks Brandon! so do you!
+swanzeysearcher Thanks Swanzy, always good to hear from you and get your input
come on Dave dig a little deeper next time you might find the guy who lost them
+Danny Robinson that crossed my mind while digging :O/ was praying no skull was there.
I still can't get over the cellar holes you researched and find, blows me away! I found a button, mid 1800s with white heavy thread still on it as well, pretty cool. Dave's teeth rocked ! I was LMAO .. Continued success guy's!!
+T4CodyBear Thanks Cody
As we say down here in Mass...that's bizaaaah!!!!!!
-Mr. Digger
+Mr. Digger you ah up thah in mass
What in tarnation!? That is sooooo creepy and bizarre. Just finishing ten seasons of criminal minds doesn't help either! Haha
+GigiRitch Lol...yes weird
That is so bizarre! I too found a stash of false teeth! I found them on a step old river bank dump that I noticed by the bottles sticking out of the bank.There were 20 sets with various numbers of teeth in them from full sets down to only 3-4 teeth left in the top or bottom plates. Plus another 33 blank ones that were all stacked up in the ground. The material of the ones I found were much deeper red in color and more of a real hard type rubber or something similar but not bakelite. This had to have been a local dentist that dumped these there......Thanks for posting this....really made my day....but destroyed MY strange hunting story! haha
By the way how does a video like this get 127 thumbs down????? People are azzholes.....sorry.
+Mark Hill Love your story Mark and I'm sorry if this vid ruined your "strange hunting" story...lol
+Mark Hill always critics Mark, it's good to have them.
+Mark Hill I will live to hunt another day...all good...hahah
may have been a addition to the house at the cellar hole site which may have been a bathroom ,explaining why the sets were all in the same spot .just a thought great finds, good video
+E. Fifield very good point
Awesome hunt guys! great finds and a little disturbing too! cool vid! hh and be lucky guys!!!
+Phill G (arcanerelics nwales) Kinda gross isn't it
Wow! That really is strange, but cool! Subbed and liked. GL and HH
Dave you guys never seem to amaze me always finding excellent find. I wish I was still going detecting with you. maybe that was a burial site and the bodies deteriorated and the heads are gone.
+Rcat007 Anything is possible
Kool hunt guys and loads of nice finds, strange finding those dentures and then the ones with Silver on them but still Silver is Silver :-D
ATB GL & HH
LittleJohn
Metal Detecting
Back to watch this again! Great hunt!
+john harvey Repeat viewer...love it
what a crazy day that was! and my fridge fixed itself that day tooo.was clunking in the morning and my freezer was started to thaw out.when i got home no noise and everything was normal.
I've found a lot of stuff...stuff everyone else finds...but false teeth with silver backing a first....that's the most unusual find ever.
+Accuracy Marked very odd and surprising
Hey Todd and Dave, just happened across this and laughed. One day while detecting I dug up a handful of individual teeth about 30 of them (no skull to be found). Lol Probably a dentist lived at that site... I showed the teeth to my dentist at my next teeth cleaning and he was amazed. He said they were definitely human and could tell they were from mid-late 1800's by the dental work. He cringed because the way they were sawed off and oozing with some kind of weird clumpy metal. With no pain meds like today... anyway, fun find!!
+Tana Allen Ouch!! Great story thanks for sharing
Great video! It's very interesting and looks like a whole lot of fun.
Sick digs! LC,Bottle,Conn.Coppa,whats not to like!Keep the vids coming! GL &HH
+Jeremy Weeden Thanks a mill Jeremy, appreciate the comment
Interesting - what's most interesting for us detectorists in the UK is that this is 'modern junk' to us. We record our finds with the archaeologists and they don't record anything from the last 300 years :-)
+Steve Bush Wow! really?
cool video....well shot and edited . u actually found 2 full sets of false teeth. The two without the center part are for the bottom jaw. The two with the center parts are for the upper palettes. Very odd find.
+Aaron Baranek Thanks Aaron for the props
The teeth are hilarious! Please show the finished display with those! Nice video.
+West Texas Tumbleweed Maybe Dave can link a display pic with the teeth
Sweet hunt. Congrats on all the awesome finds. That's a Crazy teeth spill. They will display nicely. Bizarre
+Rvs Rvs I wouldn't want to display them but Dave will I'm sure
Awesome. Colonial "grills". Lol
+Diggin Arkansas LOL
+Diggin Arkansas i wish they were colonial.research puts them at 1850-1900 the rubber used on these called vulcanite and porcelin as teeth about 1900 they went to poly resin materials
you may wanna contact law enforcement and see if any serial killers ever collected false teeth as trophies. ???
+truestory!!! I think that serial killer would be long dead by now
I would say the stone wall was in an open field at onetime, no trees.
as you guys said, "weird" one would be, but four? And good find on the intact bottle.
+judy hobday Thank you Judy
Love your videos. Wish i was young enough to be a Treasure Hunter. Good Job, guys.!
+Stanley Stalvey Thanks Stan, appreciate it. Never to old to do some MDing
My legs are bad now and can hardly walk. Maybe I can get a mobility scooter with mower size metal detector..? haha..
strange fingerprints
Probably somebody's relative passed away and they didnt know what to do with the relatives dentures so they buried them.
Here's my take on the false teeth; a dog would take his owner's false teeth when he was asleep at night, while they were soaking in Everdent, go outside and bury them. When he'd get a new set, the dog kept doing it over and over, burying them in the same spot every time.....until the owner either died of starvation or ran out of money. Whaddaya think? Lol! BTW, great video!
+Ron Reed HAHAHA...love it. Nice theory
Hey they're my teeth ! Please post them back :) Some nice finds, enjoyed watching :)
+Gary McKinnon haha, thanks
Wow! Buried treasure with a combined value of over $2!
+YiannisPho Lol...ok
So did you try out those false teeth to see if they worked ?!!
+MungoidHen Haha, not me
LOL !
Very interesting hunt, guys! Congrats!
+StivNagen Thanks Stiv
I was surprised to see that there was no tarnishing evident on the silver portion of that denture. It makes me wonder if it's silver or an alloy of gold. It was my belief that silver wasn't used for dental work because of its ability to tarnish. You may want to have that metal tested because it may be "white gold".
+William Charles Interesting point
superb ,love the Georgian period finds , good job lads......Ray
+furrow follower Thanks Ray I appreciate the comment
Not 4 sets, only two. Two upper dentures, two lower dentures. I'm betting they fit together. Reason I know this, is, I wear dentures. The ones with the full plate are the uppers, the ones shaped like a "U" are the lower. Probably tossed out when grandpa died. Who wants to keep teeth around?
+Heavyhaul Exactly what I was thinking, 2 sets and of no use to anyone but the person they are made for therefore disposable when that person is gone. Why 2 sets you may ask? If you wear dentures, you know how it feels to be without. Better safe than sorry, have a spare and never be without.
I have come up with gold teeth and crowns all in one area Sant Cloud Min Total was over 6 OZs14K-18K and one was Ivory teethNice sites you have I been to Low Gap Va and High Gap Va on the old wagen trail looks as I found a lot of things that fell off the wagens, Nice clip
+Justhuman128 very cool finds you made Justhuman, thanks for that story
Whats funny is that you guys will pick up a dear skull but say eww and a humans teeth. lol Great vid. :)
+Louise Florida Teeth are just creepy to me..lol
+thiltzy1 lol
Haha, true
:)
Nice chompers...
thanks for sharing, you should take them too a dentist and find out how old they are..
I wonder if you were able to come up with an aprox date of the false teeth? Those looked fairly sophisticated, I've seen George Washington's false teeth at Mt Vernon, while they were very sophisticated for their time, they aren't nearly as well made as those. Very fascinating overall.
+G56AG we think late 1800's maybe early 20th century
Hey Dave keep on chopping 😂
cool finds
+saxonfan1970 Thanks Saxon
i understand real human teeth from cadavers were used in early colonial times. that could date your teeth, xray em maybe to see if the roots are on the teeth still. Washington did have some human teeth sets.
+Darryl Parker true about GW, thanks
I am curious...do you guys that search for coins and the like ever carry water with you? I mean I watch a lot of these videos and someone pulls a coin from the earth and swipes it with their thumb, scratching off the dirt. If you had a bottel of water you could rinse it and not cause damage to it. Just a thought. Great vids, great finds. I live vicariously through you .
+Michael Riley It's a good question. I do use water only on silver coins. Water doesn't do any good on coppers though, they are all already enviromentaly damaged from sitting in the earth all these years. I have never sold anything i have ever dug so I do what is right for me
Could be Hoffa
+Chris Ruthford HAHA
that was actually only two sets of teeth, upper and lower plates, the upper had the silver
+Rick Jackson yep I was confused
Gosh, coins of the realm......
sweet bottle find
Very cool. I wonder if someone died and their family tossed their false teeth...
are you guys in ct?
+Hhsh Hhsj yup
Hello from queretaro here we have Cortés houses haciendas and aré colonial places we Also founds reales here very goods finds
i live in ct is that where u guys were?
+Scott Vaspasiano Yes, in Connecticut
We found 2 landmines in our back yard ..
that was so funny!!lol save them cause your going to need them suner or later!!lol, thanks for the laugh!!
+annielou2010 You might be right...lol
:)
That's some weird shit,what a story behind the false teeth.maybe some foul deeds were done.interesting
seems like an Easter egg in a video game
+Captain X haha
Lesson for everyone unless you want random dudes digging up your teeth! BRUSH REGULARLY. HH good vid
+Duran Sexton Good advice Duran lol
No sign of the skull they came out of then? I'd have given them to the police because they could be a dump site for a serial killer.
nice day!
+john harvey Thanks John
;)
Hey, very Cool story Kim Jameson said about George Washington's teeth. Hmm, wonder, could they be G.W.s? Wow, if so, you have a real piece of history, and maybe a small fortune.
I'm pretty excited at your finds, but mostly the teeth, because I need some teeth. No, really. I'm not kidding, although i am laughing right now, at what you're probably thinking. No I don't want those. I had all my teeth removed because when I was a child, moved to the city and started drinking the city water treated with all kinds of chemicals, my teeth decayed. Went and got a mouth full of fillings, and the fillings are imalgam. Imalgam fillings were and (still are ) made up of anywhere from 40% to 52% MERCURY. Yep, Mercury, the 3rd most toxic substance on the planet, and the other percentage is Tin, Zinc, and a host of other cheap metals that have no business being in our mouths, contaminating our entire systems, and corrupting the functioning of our brain and other organs, as well as effecting the brain and organs of our unborn children. Check out Dr. Mercola channel on YT or Dr. Mercola dot.com or Mercury poisoned dot com if you're interested in more info. Good Gopher dot com is a new search engine that Mike Adams of Natural News has put up. It's a place that you can see some information not available on other search engines.
The bottom line is that I had extreme toxic poisoning from the mercury, to the point of not being able to walk, for more than 2 yrs from the mercury leaking into my system. I removed all my teeth and everyday I felt better, except when I put in my temporary false teeth. After feeling ill every time I put those teeth in my mouth for about 4 months, I took the teeth out and have not put them back in my mouth. As it turns out, (the composition of the base of the false teeth is the exact makeup of False Nails) Acrylic. It is highly toxic to my system, so I cannot wear the teeth. I cannot even walk outside of one of those fake nail places without almost passing out.
Besides enjoying all the metal detecting you do, and good job on the music, I am inspired to look even further for someone to make me teeth out of something else other than acrylic. They make partials out of "Flexite", which are Non-Toxic, but not the whole denture.
To be fair to the dental trade, they were under a 50 yr. gag order, so they couldn't let this information out, until the yr. 2000. Now there is no excuse. 50% of the nations dentists still use Imalgam for fillings and 50% of the dentists came forward and offer alternatives to (Imalgam Fillings), since the gag order was lifted.
Guys, didn't mean to get long winded here, but I wanted you to understand why I am inspired by something you thought was disgusting. Lol One thing I thought was funny was that the teeth themselves looked like real teeth. Hmm, wonder where they came from ? ; /
Please wish me well on my quest. Hope you get a fortune for your teeth find. ; )
I think that woulds be considered 2 sets of teeth
Crazy!!!
Totally amazing
+Stephanie Hamilton Thanks Steph
nice finds todd & dave man todd im dying to go on a hunt with you and dave any chance? lol those teeth are crazy
+Mark A (brncofan) Bronco fans are not allowed to hunt with us.. ;)
If you ever get false teeth you definitely will have tons more respect for their value ! ! ! 😲💯😃
That is crazy
How fun!
Teeth!!...hmmm...I wonder how they got there. Grandma dies....we bury her falsies??
+Kent Churchill LOL
Ewwww.... so I have to ask, did you keep the teeth? still debating if I would or not.
+Relic Reapers Dave has them in his display
Heh I guess I would too, after all it is history
Not 4 sets, TWO sets. It takes an upper and a lower to make one set. You got two lowers and two uppers. TWO SETS.
+Milton Roberts Yup, I was so amazed at watching them coming out of the ground that I wasn't thinking straight
Yup, the excitement was pretty obvious. Gave me a chuckle because I indersteood the surprise and wonder. Great video.
Did you keep the teeth?
What is the best metal detector to get? One that goes deep?
+DaveC1964 There is no best Machine, chose one according to the type of hunting you like to do. Some are better for coins and jewelery and some are better for relics, etc etc. We hunt almost exclusively on colonial sites so relics are what we are after. My White's Mxt Pro excels at relic hunting so it's a beast at cellar holes
thiltzy1
I would like to do coin shooting. I live in Illinois so gold nuggets are zero chance of finding. Of course that doesn't mean it shouldn't find gold as jewelry and gold coins may still be found. I would also like to be able to find coin hoards (wishful thinking). One that finds more coins and less pop tops, nails, and bottle caps would be nice ;)
Gold rings up in the pull tab and junk range and even as low as foil. No way around it, you have to dig junk to find gold
thiltzy1
That sucks, so I guess all of that discrimination tech is worthless, you need to shut it off if you want to find rings.
Gold rings that is
freaky finds lol
Correct me if I am wrong but a set is two
+Tim LeDoux you are correct, this has been brought up already. I admitted that my commentary was incorrect but then again it was in the moment and Dave was pulling teeth out unexpectedly.
Honest misstake That is a first for me to and I have watched a ton of MD videos.
no worries... keep on swinging
That is not silver my friends that is Titanium. A much harder metal than silver! LOL ;-)
+THing4CSA not introduced until the 70's that is 1970's.... those are much older teeth course the dirt would have accelerated the deterioration and discoloration.
Believe it or not they use to use real human teeth at one point but got wiser and decided it was a bad idea when the teeth decayed and became rancid
Your intro is way too long but keep up the good work!
+Brian Eckert Noted and thanks for the feedback
the evil dentist killed some people and put there teeth there thats my theory
2 sets :o wow take them to a dentist they could prob date them for u and maybe fined out the owners as all dentures are recorded and made to order with moulds made but who would want to bury them in the first place is the main mystery have u found anything out yet?
The teeth are too funny. Not too many people can say that they found dental plates while metal detecting.
Poor person who lost those teeth! They all may have some precious metal in them. Lord knows they cost ALOT! Someone might like em! ha ha!
+I'm listening I bet they cost a fortune back then
haha!! wow! fun video.
+Esther Frasher Thanks Esther
