    Hey Beau, I would like to mention something you may not be aware of,. If you had a bottle probe with you, you can locate holes real easy, have you ever thought of getting one? besides years of relic hunting like you do, I have been bottle digging for years as well. Detectors are great for finding bottle holes, and then a steel bottle probe can locate the holes right on, no guess work in chasing down by digging excessive dirt maybe off the side too much. I really enjoy your video's, you remind me a lot of me,,,haha, but I'm in Australia. Cheers mate, keep up the exciting work!

    @Full_Metal_Digger 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great finds and I enjoyed watching your video! Don't quote me but if my memory is correct, I think the glass tube was used to treat syphillus in the 1800s. It was inserted into the uretha and a dose of mercury was poured down it. I'm pretty sure I seen one before at a museum or something.

  • @MUDSWAT

    Hey Beau. I found a few very old trash piles/holes in an old 1800s woodlot. I 'm thinking about digging them out. I found allot of ornate brass work on top with the regular rusty cans and jars. So thanks for the video. I think you have inspired me to do a dig out also..

    Great video and tutorial on how to excavate a dig site, Looks like that was a lot of work, but some nice finds to show that you are on the right track. I hope to go to my first home sites next week in GA, just got to get the permission first. Also when you yourself ask for permission to dig do you handout business type cards, I keep reading that other people do that....

    No worries Beau, have you ever found a cricket belt buckle over their? I believe America actually played against England in the 1850's 60's, strange to think America even played it. Over here in Oz, they are a prized goldfields era find. Basically gold sovereigns, cricket belt buckles, are the bigger dollar items out here besides gold of course. Other gold coins as well, like Guinneas, but they are ULTRA rare. My best find to date on an old house site, were 19 scattered gold sovereigns, all between 1875 and 1904. Cheers mate,
