So all right, let's get to our guest, Jeff.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Welcome Jeff Hendrick to the Relics Radio podcast.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
It's a reunion. Hi man, I'm great man. It's about
ten thirty here and we're just getting started.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah, not ten thirty. Only said that past your bedtime.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
My kids, I'm glad my kids. I had two of
my kids stop by while I was in the waiting room,
so I'm glad they came by when I was in
the waiting room and not live baby.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Yeah, well we can talk to them because they go
do you take them out detecting with you too?

Speaker 4 (08:42):
So they have all I think they've all been. And
you may have someone in your chat that's been with
one of the one of the little.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
So that's true. Yeah, that's true. You know who hasn't.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Oh man, some some and I do feel bad about this,
but somehow Kim just was never available when I brought
my wife and brought my kids.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
They're like Jim, it's great to detect with, but I'm
not interesting into my family.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
If it's Tony, okay, I can like grap the handlebars,
but if it's if it's Kim, proper.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
It wasn't even that wasn't even like local. We were
in Leadville. We all met up in Leadville with his family.
Oh my god, it's like three hours away, it is.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
That's how I talked to It was around the corner.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Yeah, maybe we should explain for people that, yeah, are listening,
just exactly who Jeff is? All right, Jeff, you got
the floor, go for it. Who are you give us
your bio?

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Who is Jeff.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Man? I am. I have been a worship pastor at
a church for about ten years. That's my main passion.
I'm a family man. I've got four little boys, my
wife is the best. And then my secondary passion, it
has been metal detecting. Since I discovered metal detecting, it's

(10:10):
more like.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
A one A one B. Let's be honest, man, it's
it's come on. I mean, I know, I know.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
What you gotta say, but.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yeah, you're good. You're good. Uh So, essentially found out
about metal detector. I should say, my wife let me
get a metal detector when I was worried about getting
my tonsils out to distract me, thinking it would just
distract me. But it ended up sticking. So that's a

(10:43):
good ye and then great wife. Soon after I met
these two fine gentlemen, and they they increased my love
for the hobby tenfold. And then I got to have
fun and be with friends at the same time, and
there's nothing that beats that. And then I've met, as

(11:05):
you guys mentioned, I met others in the community connected
to you guys, and have just been blessed to meet
everybody because everybody has a different thing they like to
look for. Everybody enjoys detecting a different way and appreciates
different things. So it's kind of a new experience each time.
You go.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yep, absolutely, and we're glad that we are able to
look up with you. So, yeah, we Doug yet in Colorado,
but he he yeah, that he ditched us. You know, guys,
your gears are lane and finding the good stuff. But
I'm going east. Well, listen, you find a night some

(11:45):
really nice whaedies.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
But I got guys a little tired.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
We have a good fifty eight was a strong year,
but I'm looking more like eighteen fifty seventeen fifty eight.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Maybe even.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
If you can't tell, we're going to give each other
business and in personally.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
Yeah we don't. We're on a we're on a group chat,
and I like to share with them when I when
I hit things that I know that they would like.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Just daily, you'll get the opportunity. You have to do
a lot of detecting, right, So I'm not I'm not
really when I say it's almost daily, I do.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
And granted I say that that that's uh. I think
that's that freedom is closing in. My wife is very
kind and very patient, and I'm let me just say
I'm very thankful, and I get how that nice that
is that she will let me go blow off that

(12:51):
kind of theme. So yeah, but I get some cool opportunities.
I think it's more about just the flexibility. My schedule
has always been flexible in terms of if you're if
you've ever done ministry work, sometimes it's night. Sometimes there's
much weekends and then yep, and then and then it slams.

(13:12):
So yeah, I get I get to explore probably a
little more than the common person does. And uh, I'm
starting to get some of the people at my church
into detecting one by one. So yeah, it's a cool
it's a cool spot down here. It's not the detecting
community is not quite as big as what I thought

(13:35):
it was going to be down here. But you do
see You'll drive by a construction site and you see
it's like they're at six point thirty, you know, just
kind of cleaning up a little bit.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Any kind of disturbed dirt.

Speaker 4 (13:48):
They're into it, right, that's right.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Yeah, So you go buy you go buy it noon
and there's like three cars waiting and they've all got
they're all charging their metal detectors and they're just waiting
for the guys to leave for lunch.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Absolutely, Yeah, that's so. One of the things that I've
I made a point to like contrast is we're on
I'm I'm I live on property right now, and our
neighbors where you at, I'm in what's that?

Speaker 2 (14:21):
What's your address?

Speaker 4 (14:22):
My GPS coordinates. I'm in Mount Olive, which is pretty
pretty country eastern North Carolina. We're nearby Goshen Swamp, which
is a big swamp system. But what I was going
to say is when people came here, literally the same

(14:42):
family is on different land plats for two hundred years.
That our neighbors were telling us, pointing out to me
spots on their property. They're like, great grandparents lived there,
great great parents, great great grandparents live there, and then okay,
the brother of that great grandparent, you know, lived across
the street, and then it starts, it goes even farther back.

(15:05):
So that's kind of the neat It's a neat natured
thing because a lot of times actually people haven't even
thought about that. Like when you go to ask permission,
it's there's a lot of farm a lot a lot
of agriculture here, and so you have to go at

(15:26):
the right time and ask at the right time. But
farmers don't really think that way that they're they're like,
what is the purpose in this? Uh, yeah, you can
go dig in the dirt that we've you know, while
we're not using it. But that's so far from my
mind that there could be stuff from my great great

(15:47):
grandfather buried in the dirt, and it's just different from
Colorado because Colorado most places is relatively young, right.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Well young, and and there's you know, excluding five oh
five in the chat Beth, because I think fourth or
fifth generation Colorado. Most everybody else is a transplant in Colorado.
I mean, I'm from Ohio, comes from California. You know,
there's not a lot of people that quote are pioneers
in Colorado. So when you go to North Carolina, you're

(16:19):
talking fifth generation, sixth generation.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
And that's normal. That's not what we're.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
Used to out here, right, And it is.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Worn with detectors in their hand out here, like they
are out there.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
That Yeah, that's true. I do hear quite a bit
of that from the older generation talking about like when
detectors first came out, and like they just go, they'd
go with their detectors and just find stuff off the surface,
fines that you would just die, you know, die.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
For watching like watching buckle boys channel out in the
rice fields and he walks over a seated coin and
sitting on the dirt.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, behind himself. Crazy.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
No, here's two realitesy sitting next to each other, right, yes,
oh man, quarter real Have you ever seen his quarter?

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Real. No, the tiniest little real I've ever seen. He's
got a lion inside.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
And then castle on the other small thing not clipped huh,
just to no small round just like this.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
But Trime, I know that name because he's I think
he's helped I d some things.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah, that's about right.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
Over the years. Yeah, you're out there. Thanks, thank you
for I.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
Actually just talked to him, uh this week, and uh,
he's getting close to his book coming out.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
I'll just say that I can't wait.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
Well, I know that we got some new people in
chat here. I just want to call out real quick.
And before I call them out, there were some people
here that were actually just here for the show, for
this type of adventure.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Excellent. What do we find it, Jeff?

Speaker 4 (18:03):
We are finding Grandma's poor roach.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
That if anybody's asking or trying to figure out where
what is Grandma's broach?

Speaker 2 (18:15):
And what's what? Here's the here's the audio.

Speaker 6 (18:17):
Clipbed Grandma's Like, where did that come from?

Speaker 2 (18:21):
It came from?

Speaker 3 (18:21):
This guy right here? Tell us a story like number
one with all the video where it came from obviously
off the cuff, but like, where did that come up
in your brain?

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Grandma's broke. I mean, we've been laughing at it ever since.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
I suppose I suppose it's a fifty it's a fifty
to fifty thing because if it was my grandma, I
would be like that, that's the kind of thing that's
a tear jerker for me. But then at the same time,
so it's it's both sad, but also it's kind of
true because everything that you find detecting was once belonged

(18:57):
to someone else.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
So grandma, someone's grandma's grandpa.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
Yeah, oh, Ski, what's up, Bud? I think I saw that.
I saw your question. The answer is yes, I've found
several broaches, several of them great Grandma's broaches out here
for sure.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeahaches are fun to find.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yeah yeah, hey yeah, even if you're on Discovery.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
I love it when Ken, when Ken boasts, that's one
of my favorite things.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
When Ken boasts. When I boast, I don't have much
to boast about.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
No, No, it's when you guys are like, if you
keep talking like this, we're just going to bring out
fines from England. We're going to show you stuff.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Well, that's all we've got. I was looking through my phone.
It was like.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
A message comes through from Jeff in the group chat
and it says, uh, you guys, either you guys ready
or bucket lists or can we FaceTime. It's like, dude,
we already talked twice yesterday that you had bucket listen,
and today you.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Got another bucket lister and then you want to face time.
It's like right, because all we can do is say,
all right, now look this up.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
We'll have to bring out some England finds, all right,
because that's the only way we can beat beat North
Carolina fines.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
There was a couple of hot, hot months there.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
That you were on fire.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
They've got it. But then I started to enjoy it
because I was like, they're they're either really happy for
me or really irritated at this point. No, no, it's not.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
It's I'll tell you it's zero percent irritation. Probably more
jealousy than irritation, because we're both sitting behind a desk
or a computer or whatever, and you're like.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah, I been out on a seventeen hundreds colonial.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Site and finding all these realities.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Yeah, my buddy, find the reality. And all I found
was this, like you know, this militia button. What do
you guys think? I think you suck, dude. That's what
I think. Zero seriously, a zero irritation. You know that
it's it's so so much happiness. And you know, I

(21:20):
can remember back when I first started metal detecting and
also getting on YouTube, and you know, you get into
the community and I remember there's a couple of people
that you know, you get to messaging with people, and
there was one guy, I remember his first silver coin
he ever found. He texted me immediately, didn't nobody else,

(21:40):
Like I was the first person, and I was like,
that is so incredible to be able to he wanted
to share that with me. You know, who am I
that this person the first thing in their entire life
that they found of a silver coin and they want
to share that moment with me. That's just that's you know,
that's not fair. You know, like I'm a nobody and
we get this same thing with Jeff. You know, it's

(22:02):
so happy for you the things that you can get
because we know the passion and the love and the
history it shows through and we get to share with you,
like come on, man.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Like kind.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
I was talking about, you know, leaving our wives and
buying a house together out in Hampshire, so maybe.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Bring the wives. I don't know, maybe brings.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
If I mean, if they show up, I guess you
got a little the men. But you know, you're you're
like you went out there and you're now you're able
to find these things that we talked about before you left, Like,
oh my gosh, you're gonna be able to find this
and this and this, And as you're finding them, you're like, yeah,
this is the first time I found this, first time
I found this. So you sharing them with us, your

(22:44):
old digging buddies, Like that's just natural, man, and we're
right there with you, like a living vicariously through years.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
What they say, yeah, absolutely, No, I'm I'm I was
being physicid. I was being uh, I'm sarcastic with everything.
You guys know that we're not.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
We never are.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
No.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
I literally these guys have been that depending on the
level of the fine's either going to be a text,
or it'll be a phone call, or it'll be FaceTime.
When it's like an ultimate ultimate fine, it's because I
know both these fellas are one genuine and they understand
why whatever this, whatever, whatever the relic or coin which,

(23:30):
to be honest with you, I'll be totally honest with you.
I think I'll take a relic over a coin any day.
It's not that I won't get I'm not excited for coins,
but I love something that tells a story. And these
guys understand just they had they get that excitement, you know,
whereas whereas my wife will just be like, yeah, that

(23:53):
that's cool. You found a shoe buckle, fragment. That's fine.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
So it's a it's a piece of a shoot like
this much of a shoebox.

Speaker 4 (24:01):
Sound just likely.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Let me get that straight.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
How do you know it's a shoe buckle, it's a piece.
It's just a piece of metal. It's like this much metal.
How do you what do you do with that?

Speaker 2 (24:12):
You can? Actually you're going to keep that?

Speaker 4 (24:15):
They say, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Don't leave it on the kitchen counter again, Jeff, I'm
tired of picking that stuff up.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
Yeah, it might as well be. It might as well
be a nineteen eighty three nickel. I mean, oh, oh, sorry, sorry,
that shut across the bout.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
It was eighty three. It was eighty four, not eighty three.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
Sorry eighty four.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Sorry, you're gonna be doing all kinds of in jokes tonight, people,
are gonna be like, what are they talking about?

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Can we hey?

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Can we can I tell the story of how you
and I met?

Speaker 4 (24:44):
Oh my gosh, finally going to be public? It is?

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Do I know this story all the time?

Speaker 4 (24:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (24:54):
All right. So, so I being on social media, you
open yourself up.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
You know, my email's out there on my YouTube page,
and and people, you know, like I say, you know,
message me right on my you know, make me a comment,
you know, reach out to me. I love to hear
from everybody and talk and interact. So apparently the first
time I ever had interaction with Jeff it was by email,
and he sends me this email that says something to

(25:21):
the effect of, you know, hey, this is this is
I'm here in Colorado.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
You know, this is the stuff that I found.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
And it's like an itemized checklist of all the stuff
he's ever found in his entire life. And you know,
if you guys are ever up north, I would love
to dig with you. And I'm like, yeah, absolutely, you know,
And and.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
I'm like, oh, this is this is cool. You know.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
I do like people that are passionate. Well, somehow I
had forgotten about it or didn't reach out to Jeff
or something. It had kind of gone underneath the rug,
and I apologize deeply for that. But we meet up
with our come in contact with it. Our other buddy
Michael and Jeff had reached out to Mike and Mike
and they were meeting up to go dig somewhere. Michael's like, Hey,

(26:03):
I'm bringing this other guy with us or with me,
so you know there'll be four of us together.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
So show up and we're detecting.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
It's great to meet Jeff and you know, hang out
with Michael and Kennon and then I think, like a
little bit. I don't even remember if he was that day,
but Jeff like makes his way over to me and said, hey,
you know that that I emailed you like a year
ago about detecting with you.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
And I'm like, you know, I I think I remember that.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
I'm like looking for looking for his email and I'm like,
oh yeah, and here's your resume that you sent with it.
And I always give him a hard time about his resume.
He's like he's had to send his measure to metal
detecting resume to Tony to say hey, here's what I found.
Can I dig with you please? I just I just
got to give him so much crap about that.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
I don't know why I thought that, you know, it's
thought that providing you my bucket list of items would
would sweeten the deal at all. But for some reason
it made sense to me at the time.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
It's so good, man. I don't want to embarrass you
about it.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
It was it's it's really I'm just glad that we
were actually able to to come.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Together and create a friendship, honestly.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
So.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
But you know, we're all we do have the same personalities,
and we do give each other the business sometimes. So
that's something I'm going to do forever.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Man. I can't believe he sent you his resume. You
know he did me.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
He sent me a message just said sup question Mark
question Mark.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
I was like, oh my gosh, all of you. It's
gonna be so funny because all these people are now
privy to like what our what our back channel? Uh,
what I get I give? Yeah, I've I've watched I've

(27:50):
watched videos of both of these guys. And one of
my favorite things to do is to like just quoting,
quoting their their past videos to them as we're digging,
and like you'll dig a button and I'll be like,
you know what you can do? You could you have
You have God's most natural polisher within within your body.

(28:14):
Take a little bit of that ear wax. Just take it.
You don't you don't need a lot. You just dab it.
Dab it on that general service equal button. Just dab
it on, stap it on. It'll bring out, it'll preserve
the guilt, bring out the color. And this this is
our man.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
This actually came from.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
Yeah, my favorite, My favorite time was can we talk
about the last time, one of the one of the
very last times we went out and that biker kept
tracking us to the new place?

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Oh gosh, remember that came We were upping up and uh.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
It was all three of us. That was one of
the last times for all three.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
The brothel was right on the on the on the whole.

Speaker 4 (29:04):
We were like right there.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Were right on it, and it was public, you know,
it was tell the story. Yeah, to go into the story. Yeah,
it's actually pretty good. You were absolutely in the right
tell the story. We had our maps out and everything,
we had GPS location going on everything.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
Yep, I mean essentially, Yeah, we looked at the we
look at the tope topography and there was a cluster
of homes and it was in the it was in
the middle of a perfectly legal spot to go. So
we were all excited because we wouldn't all public. We went. Yeah,
we went with kind of the attitude of we're not

(29:44):
we're not even need to ask, we're not going to
run into anybody, period, because it's public.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
And.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
That a house like I don't know a half mile away.
Like with with bare View, he ends up being like
the the public difference police police, you know. And he
comes over and he's like, there's a there was a
brothel site right where you guys are standing. But but

(30:13):
and then he goes he gets into it Tony, and
Tony's like, we're we're looking at the on X right
here and it's like way over the line's way over there.
He's like, I don't care what you what you say,
I know, And it wasn't even his properties, like I know,
we're my neighbor, my neighbor's property, and as people are
like walking their dogs property, you know.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Seriously, Yeah, he's like, you're on property right now. We're like, no,
it wasn't even the yards from.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Here, no property.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
We're at like a trailhead.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
We're like, yeah, it's not even the front yard, knowing
that there's no house, there's I mean, it's just it's
just they own that piece of property.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Absolutely, yes.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
So and since we are courteous guys, you know, eventually
Tony just flips from the bird.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
And whoa get it right?

Speaker 4 (31:06):
No, So we you know, he's like, okay, so you guys.
So we're like, yes, sir, that's fine, and so we
we kind of go the we go the other way
and further into the public stuff. And this guy, I mean,
we didn't start walking until he was almost back to
his house and he puts his helmet on and gets
on his bike and meets.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Us, tracks us down. It's like public.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
Do you remember what he said, because it was hilarious.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
I don't even remember what. He shows up like pee
wee herman on.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
His bike with the riding helmet on, and it was
it was something to the effect of like, you know,
we could do this all day, guys. I'll just you know,
I'm gonna just keep going going with you here and
in essentially like chasing you off.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
Ye yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
And we were in the right We're looking at the maps,
we had done our research, we knew you know, if anybody,
you know, legally wanted to come out, we shi, no,
we're okay, and they would have sent him on his way,
but we know what, we didn't want to make a
fuss about it, and uh we ended up leaving.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Yeah. Yeah, Tim Mildigger says it was the Prairie Police.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
We were calling him the mountain Monster because we were up
in the mountains.

Speaker 4 (32:28):
Am I allowed to call him the Boulder police? I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Oh, shoot, you gave up our spot, Now come on
the Olive Boulder. When I think about that guy, though,
is I think he he had like almost like a
complex going on where he had he had responsibility. I
think he was like a fire spotter or something.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Like that, right. I don't know if he officially worked
for the fire department, but he was.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
He designated himself as that probably official fire spotter. So
he really had this ego of I'm in charge of
this mountain. Yeah, I mean, I'm in charge of this
this area, this land, and if you see any shenanigans
going on, I'm gonna come over there and tell him
what's up. If you're not, you can only walk a
dog up here or ride your bike, and that's.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
Right, that's right. That and that was I think one
of the last because I had I hunted with each
of you individually a few times after that, but we
couldn't all line up after that. Yeah, so I'll always
remember that I was telling these guys, I just I
just about four years worth of fines from Colorado and

(33:38):
and through you know some of the the extra states
I got. I got a chance to go through through
ken Antonia. I met a great guy that detects in
South Dakota and uh, I won't share his name out
of respect, but I had an awesome time, and so
we got to detect, got to detect with him. And anyway,

(34:03):
all these finds across different states and everything, and I'm
kind of like in my brain, I'm telling the story,
and my wife is like, you're you're pulling them out
of You're you're pulling them out of because I have
it all labeled by location and date, and she's like,
You're gonna forget where you found all these things, and

(34:24):
I'm like, there's no, there's no chance because all of
the things I've found are connected to memories, and a
lot of the memories are with you guys. So I'm
so thankful to have shared that with you. I'll make
my plug for I'll make my my friend my public
announce Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah, let's let's go for the p S announcement. Here
we go. I got music hold on.

Speaker 4 (34:55):
Grandma's roa, So I'm feeling really good. I've purchased some
shadow boxes with Felt Bax because I don't want to
do it. What what's the what's that box called riker?
I just don't don't want to do it. I've told myself,
I don't want to do it that way. I've there's

(35:18):
too much at steak. There's too much at steak here.
So so I get I go online and I look up.
You know, I get the Renaissance wax, which plug for
Renaissance wax. It's awesome as long as you're not doing
silver that that shines it up. Not quite as good
as ear wax is to do it a ear wax, But.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
It's not it's not ear. What it's ear, it's it's oil,
oil from behind your ear. Oil from behind. You don't
stick your finger in like this like you're digging for gold.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
I need to go watch the video one more time to.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Review that again, man, come on.

Speaker 4 (35:54):
Anyway, So then I buy the the stuff that I'm like, oh,
I'm gonna be able to mount this. It's that Quaker. Uh,
it's the Quick Cold Museum putty.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
Oh that's the best. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
I tell them I'm making the video right now that
that says that's the best stuff.

Speaker 4 (36:12):
Long, okay, long story short. Do not think you're going
to be able to mount your items on a felt
back in a shadow box because I'm making my backdrop
and I'm so pumped, and Tony's like, you should flex
a little bit, dude, just flex a little bit like
some of the stuff that you found, you know, like
you're the real deal. And I'm pretty sure he's making

(36:32):
fun of me. But I did it anyway, and they.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Displayed laying on a flat surface.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
It was amazing.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
Yeah, well thank you again. They look they look pretty
sweet when they're completely flat. But I had them even
at forty five or so, and I start to see
like buckles start to fall to the bottom, coins come off,
you know, jewelry comes off. So anyway, I have it down,

(36:59):
but I'm have the mounting down clearly, So I don't
think you're gonna do that. Do something different. Than me, y'all.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
So hold that back up, Hold that back up again,
hold that back up again, hold that wax back up again. Yeah,
So would you say that's good for Okay, there's that. Yeah,
that's good. And what about the whole thing? What about
the Do you think that's good for? Like hard surface?

Speaker 4 (37:25):
I think it. I think that's where I went wrong.
I think it's great for if you can have your back,
your surface you're attaching to be hard. Yeah, And the
key thing is if you have stuff both of these things.
This wax is a desiccant, so it drives it out,
but it also preserves it, so it's great for like buttons,

(37:46):
things like that. And then this, uh, this quaker quaker
steak quaker quick hold doesn't doesn't leave residue, and it
preserves whatever the artifact is. So that's my that's my plug.
Just do it differently than me, and don't do a

(38:07):
felt because you'll have meticulously created your Do you guys
have Do you guys have that picture I sent? You?
Have the button? Thing?

Speaker 2 (38:16):
I was looking for.

Speaker 4 (38:19):
Me a little Jeff, don't be like me.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
You're going to get the hat. Don't be like so.

Speaker 4 (38:27):
I'm not sure if I'm not sure if Cindy's on
this chat, but it was a huge deal when I
found I found a flat button in Colorado and I
about died because it. I mean, you guys can attest
to how rare that is, right, And so I come out,
I come out here and this it's not better, it's

(38:49):
just weird. How you're wherever you are. You make, you
make your own kind of fulfillment and the challenge and
the I mean I like the challenge of it too,
to like find as old as the thing as you can.
But out here, obviously people dropped quite a few of
those flat buttons, and I just started picking out some
of my favorites and I made this this really cool

(39:12):
kind of design thing out of my out of my
shadow box. And when I put it up for this
video and started falling out of this out of this
really nice uh spral. So yeah, don't don't do what
I do.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
So in the chat, anybody has any suggestions on how
we could display our buttons and buckles in a vertical manner. Yeah,
mentioned in the shadow blocks. If you've had success with that,
put it in the chat, or even better yet, email
Tony or I and let us know or get us
on Facebook, yes please?

Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
Well even even David Rose's uh displays that he has
up up on the wall and stuff like that that
have some heavy duty like iron type relics that he's got.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
I mean, how are those staying?

Speaker 1 (40:05):
He wills the bolt to the backside and then cranks
him down.

Speaker 4 (40:08):
With a wing drills into the back of him.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
Yeah, I got eight of these fifth century Palace Dave accents.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Right right, let's see here, Tim, Oh sure, yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
If he says I use that same putty, the museum
putty that Jeff uses.

Speaker 4 (40:37):
It work for me.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
Yeah. Let's talk about some buttons there you go.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
Oh yeah, yeah, man, I would have sent you a
better picture.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
What's this one up here? What's this big one.

Speaker 4 (40:52):
That's from that's from Colorado? Man, that's a collar disc?
Really yep, I believe it's with the with the cross hatching.
It's a War one collar disc. Chicks, big man, it is.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (41:05):
Man, it did not look good until I started working
that Renaissance wax into it, and then and then the
detail came out.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
How are you putting the wax on? You do like
a Q tip this and then to chick it off
he does this he did this way on and.

Speaker 4 (41:24):
Then yeah, no no, no, yeah no, I just sometimes
I'll do the wax and then i'll if it's if
it's not a two piece obviously all all rents, get
it dry and then do the wax again. And it's
it's weird because the wax will pull stuff off that
you couldn't you couldn't get off to save your life.

(41:45):
So anyway, yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
That's what's the BS heres.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
That's all the kinds of BS.

Speaker 4 (41:56):
Okay, so all you all you folks on here that
are familiar with the coming and going. I think Ski
Searcher is the one who taught me or basically introduced
me to. Okay, these are when farm fields are active.
And then here's the time when you go and get
permission and you know, dig out here. That's primarily what

(42:20):
you have. You have farm field. And so we're on
the last day of this permission and there's a this
this tractor is literally doing he's being nice and he's
doing the whole rest of the property except for where
we are. Yeah, so yeah, around you okay. So, and

(42:41):
to just to just to tell you how awesome this
site is, Like I could do a whole I have
all the history on the site. Somebody even rolled up
on me and it was the original the kin of
the original landowner, and he sent me all this material
on this home site. So if you guys ever want

(43:01):
to take a deep dive it even on your own properties,
if you can, if you can follow that paper trail,
it's fascinating, and then you can even track down family
to give stuff back to. Anyway, it was three days
and day one was all you button lovers are gonna

(43:22):
love this. Day one was dragoon. It was a dragoon
union button. It's no. And then day two it was yep,
they're all they're all on. I know it's a horrible picture.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (43:38):
Yep. So the dragoon that was day one. Day two
was artillery. Was an artillery button. It's in there. It's
a smaller one. And then on the third day, we're
in the last five minutes when you're walking back to
your car, is when the BS button came out. Came
out and it is it stands for Bingham School. And

(44:03):
this was something akin to I think for younger for
younger cadets, it was something akin to like what West
Point would have been for the for the North, it
said it was it was there before the war, during
and then after the war. But that button dates to

(44:24):
right around the time of the war, and so it
was that, yep, that was made. That was a Confederate
soldier that likely or I should say a ChIL A kid,
a junior military academy kid probably had had that on
his coat. And because yeah, man, that that's that's one

(44:47):
of my favorites of all time.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
It's right in the middle. I figured it was.

Speaker 4 (44:53):
But you guys can see what's that you guys have
seen that one before. That's that that's that's the one
I found in literally I found that in a Loveland
public place. And it's a it's a bingham City, Binghamton

(45:13):
City Guard button from Binghamton, New York. That predates the police.
There isn't that neat? Yeah, especially in Colorado, you know? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (45:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (45:27):
And then that's that's a North which one. That one's Colorado.
That's Colorado Guard.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
So that's Colorado Garden.

Speaker 4 (45:38):
Yeah, that's pre that's pre World War One. Yeah, that's awesome.
And then that the gold cuff eagle above that actually
go to the go to the very top. Can you
can't you see the little bar. So Cindy knows about
about this one. It says camp why cough on it?

(46:00):
Which was a port for sailors coming back and they
needed to quarantine before they could come back in eighteen
ninety eight. Montalk I think Montalk point.

Speaker 3 (46:13):
When we saw that, we we all kind of went
down the rabbit hole of researching something we've never heard of. Yeah,
didn't want anything about, are you like, it's just i mean,
the the value of it like grew because of what
it was attached to.

Speaker 4 (46:27):
Yes, yeah, absolutely, And I'm not I'm not claiming to
know what that was when I dug it up. That's
that's sometimes a lot of fun. Yeah do that so yep, cool, Yeah,
that's just a couple of things. And then and then
you for all you guys, you probably see the eye
the large coat, black ye black eye button. That was

(46:50):
a bucket lister for me out here.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
Yeah, that's yeah, that's crazy. That's that's such a great find.

Speaker 4 (46:57):
Yeah, on the back of on the back of that
Manchester which puts it, which puts it like it would
have been worn in war right and that period.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
So that wasn't the one that said made in Taiwan.

Speaker 4 (47:11):
No, that wasn't the Yeah, made in Japan, you guys. Ever, Okay,
I'll tell you a quick thing. So you know, you
see stuff on face or you see stuff on all
the dig the dig chats and stuff, and people are
just finding these incredible, incredible things, just things that you've
never seen, you've never dug in your life, and they're

(47:33):
doing it regularly. Well, those bells, those crodal bells, crotal bells.
I thought I had found a version of those crodal
bells in Colorado, right And literally I want I flip
one of them over and this is this is a

(47:53):
while so they're all caked in dirt. But I'm like,
oh man, I got I have a set. This is incredible,
made in India. Yeah, the struggle is real.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
So just the full range of emotions.

Speaker 4 (48:14):
Oh man, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
It's I mean, how many times do we do that?

Speaker 1 (48:18):
You know, it's a detectoris or we start to uncover
something like I remember the Hunter and first Airborne buckle
I found.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
I'm out in.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
I'm out in a site that we're trying to find
a Civil War era early Colorado military camp next to
the stage station and they camp somewhere on there.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
We're trying to find it.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
Huge plots Atlantic, you know, I don't know how many
acres were, yeah, fields upon fields, and we're just trying
to find it. We're trying to locate anything. Any know, Colorado,
you don't find plates. I didn't, you know I ever
found a plate in Colorado?

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Would be just.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
One of our buddies found a mini plate, a baby plate,
gorgeous one.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
Anyways, it can.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
Yeah, So I'm I'm digging. I hear this target, I
go down in it. And since I've never found a plate,
I don't actually know what they look like in dirt.
But all they know is I see an edge of
something like brass, and it is oval, and it's elongated oval,
so not perfectly oval, but loated oval.

Speaker 2 (49:24):
Like a like a plate would be. And I see
the edge and.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
My heart starts to beat, and I think about stopping
and calling the guys over, but no, I need to
investigate a little more.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
And I picked that thing up. And it's a giant
cow tag.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
Says one on one on it. The giant brass old.
I mean, probably not, that's an old cow tag. Yeah,
but it's frey still neat, it's still neat, and I
still have.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
It but yeah, man, I thought, oh, I got it.

Speaker 4 (49:53):
No plays it plays with your emotions.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
And then one hundred and first Rangers of the UH
the Civil War when they used to jump out of
airplanes during the Civil War to yeah, I could have
been it could have been eighteen twelve. I can't remember
which which war they were in, but.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
I went up to everyone.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
It's like, look, I found one hundred and first first Airborne. Yeah,
paratroopers for War of eighteen twelve.

Speaker 4 (50:19):
Yeah, I'd love to hear in the chat and from
you guys when the opposite has happened. Do you ever
have the opposite happened.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Where you got crap and it turns into you have.

Speaker 4 (50:30):
Trash and then you just get you just get blasted
onto your under your.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
But I it's not here, I have it upstairs. But yeah,
I have something. I haven't done the video on it
yet actually, and it didn't maybe putting my butt didn't
happen until days.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
Later, until Yes, exactly was Jeff there? Yeah, Jeff was there?

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Okay, Yeah, I know exactly what you talk about yet
mean tell it? Yeah, absolutely, yeah, I'd found. We were
on this epic hunt together, probably one of the most
epic hunts. All of us were on together, and all
the time we hunted together, finding some great stuff. It
was near a stage station, so I can say that

(51:16):
it was just an amazing time finding all kinds of
cool stuff. Found my first seated there eighteen forty four
seated dime seated halftime. Sorry, so that was for Colorado.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
That was amazing.

Speaker 4 (51:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
But I pulled up this this find, and I was like, oh,
it's a piece of crap, piece of trash, and I'm
looking at it, and I even trash. I'll kind of
clean up to see if there's any writing on it
so I can try to identify it. And it looked
just like some old, you know, early vintage cap, like
a milk cap or a like a I don't know,

(51:50):
like a powder cap or something from a powder flask,
not a gun powder flask, but you know what I'm saying,
like a lady's powder or something. But there was no
holes on I was looking at the side. It didn't
really look threaded. It was about that big. And as
I'm wiping it and kind of brushing it, words and
images started appear on the top of it, and I'm

(52:13):
looking at it.

Speaker 4 (52:13):
I'm looking at it now I remember it now. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:16):
I looking at it and it said I thought we
saw like it said the Centennial Watch. Along the top
it had this building with like a cross on it,
and at the bottom it said Memorial Building eighteen sixty seven.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
Yeah, And I was like, what is that? So hurry
up and start on my phone. Nothing.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
No, So I threw it, actually threw it not in
my trash pouch because it had writing on it. So
I knew it was gonna be something I wanted to research,
and that started my search. After we got home. I
actually forgot about it that first night. A couple of
days later, I pull it out and I start researching
it and guys, I couldn't find anything on it.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
I couldn't find anything on it. I'm trying to find something,
and finally I get it.

Speaker 4 (53:06):
This is pre chat chat GBT, folks, It is pre
chat GPT.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
And finally I got a hit and it was way
down on the search results and all that stuff. And
it was from the Smithsonian Institute. That's the website that
finally had some.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
Information on it.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
And I look at yeah, and what it was is
back in eighteen eighteen sixty seven, they had the Philadelphia
World's Fair, the what do they call it the exposition,
World Exposition, Yeah, Philadelphia, and one of the buildings. Now

(53:47):
this and I didn't know anything about that World's Fair
at all. So now this started my dive down the
hole of learning all about this thing. There was ten
million visitors to this World's Fair in eighteen sixty seven.
They built an entire city to house the exhibitions and
everything at this at this world sphere. All kinds of

(54:07):
new new innovations. First time Americans ever saw bananas was
at this exposition. All this different technicological advancements were shown there,
all kinds stevens, steam engines, and the typewriters and all
kinds of stuff and so cool.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
This thing was the back of a of a pocket
watch that.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
Was given away as souvenirs to all the all the
people that came to the like horticulture type building them.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
But they're called the Memorial Hall, and so.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
It was the Centennial Watch because they saw they called
it the Centennial Exposition.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
That's what that's what that was the name of it,
the Centennial Exposition. Well, was that was seventy six?

Speaker 1 (54:51):
Then eighteen seventy six, would I say sixty seven eighteen
seventy six, sorry, which is the same became a state.
Yeah right, it's ironically even more ironically.

Speaker 4 (55:04):
And that's I'll just say real quick, that's what I
mean by your you're the joy that you get into
detecting like eighteen seventy six in Colorado feels like what
seventeen seventy six feels like here? Right, that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
Yeah, it's a big you never find eighteen fifties here.

Speaker 4 (55:25):
It's just like, oh man, I mean you guys did
you guys did it? But yeah, pretty but that thing was.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
The back of a pocket watch. Now the pocket watch
didn't work like the the winder. You could adjust the
hands on it, but it didn't have the innards. There
was a company out of France. I researched them. They
used to make like baby dolls, and they used to
have like this watch is part of a different watch
as part of it. But they made they were they
were you know, they were hired to make these little

(55:53):
souvenir handout pocket watches to commemorate the World's Fair. And
so how that got ended up had a stagecoach stop
in Colorado, who knows?

Speaker 2 (56:03):
But and how Philadelphia?

Speaker 1 (56:07):
And yeah, so I found cool pictures of it. Not
too many. I'm telling you what, there's not a lot
out there. I think SMITHSONI Institute anyone had a picture
of it. I even reached out to them and said
if they still had it.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
And never really got a response. But yeah, just just
amazing that. You know, that's where that came from. And
I almost threw it away as.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
Trash, you know what I mean, absolutely, that's why go
along with you. And you know what I just was
thinking about. Jeff found a coin there with the same year,
Jeff found a lot of coins. So guy, here's the thing.
We've said it before on this show. In Colorado, especially
when we're relic hunters in Colorado, we just don't find
the coins. We don't find many coins, not very very

(56:48):
few coins. But Jeff found some coins.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
I'll just set I'll set the stage. Tony. I think
I got something. Yeah, you gotta shake your hand. I
think I got something.

Speaker 4 (57:03):
Oh my gosh, I'm gonna I'm just gonna put the
rumor to rest that that was staged right here. I
could no.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
I mean, I don't think it was at all. I
know it wasn't. I was there, man, It was not stage.

Speaker 4 (57:15):
That that hunt. That hunt. Yeah, I'll do credit to Michael.
I mean just every moment was a was it was
a check your reality moment for a detectorists there, you
know what I mean. Yeah, it was just wild.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
Yeah we should we showed up when we immediately started
finding cool stuff, man, like really cool stuff.

Speaker 4 (57:41):
Yep. And that's yep, absolutely, And it was all period
of you know, just but.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
It was it was Prens was a forty four yeah,
I know, yeah, eat a diamond seated after time.

Speaker 4 (57:58):
Yeah, and the first that was also the first time
I ever saw somebody pull dig a general service equal.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (58:05):
Remember that. Actually, Tony was the first signal.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
That started the whole that whole day. Was that signal,
Oh there's stuff.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
After that, Jeff was like, all right, that's it, man,
we're gonna find it all. At first, he went off
and he left a couple of breadcrumbs for us, and
he found the rest of it.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
Oh god, how many shield nickels did you find that day?
Eighteen sixty shield nickels?

Speaker 2 (58:28):
How many? How many of those do you find? Like
four but right in the places that we had just
swung over, yeah, which behind us. He's like, well, guys,
look at this.

Speaker 4 (58:38):
I mean, it's just another shield Nickel.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
Don't worry, Gay, go ahead, you got a that's cool,
that's cool.

Speaker 4 (58:45):
Oh my gosh, poor poor wheet pennies. Get we just
we just trashed that.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
No, but then tell us about this this thing you found.

Speaker 4 (58:59):
Which what thing?

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (59:01):
This shaky hand, the fake shaky hand. That was totally real.
That was in eighteen seventy six, Carson City, seated quarter.
So it sound like one, no quarter, no quarter, And
it sounded horrible. It did not sound like like you

(59:23):
know you guys, sounds like that, and I mean, you'd
be lucky. I've I've found barbers out here, seated and
in the middle of Colorado. Incredible. Yeah, So I was.
I was shaky because it had it broke like I'm
all about in my head. I'm like, okay, I need

(59:44):
to this. This is my goal. I'm gonna see if
I can break this record. It's just a competitive part
of me. And that day shattered like eight like eighteen records,
and that it blew my mind to find something that big.
So then we went online and like researched what does
a quarter? What would a quarter by?

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
You?

Speaker 4 (01:00:03):
The year they became a state you know, pretty neat man.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
And I remember I remember even saying in the video,
I was like, that's that's the year that Colorad became
a state. I mean you start you kind of start
relating relics to that time period of what was going on.

Speaker 4 (01:00:22):
You know, yeah, Kansas territory first, right, Do I.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
Have that right? I don't. I think territory, Kansas Territory.

Speaker 4 (01:00:34):
Yeah, anyway, No, yeah, absolutely that there's just so much joy.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
It was a Carson City to that. Yeah. Yeah, it
blew us away, right, yep, blew away.

Speaker 4 (01:00:48):
I would show it, but it's it's one of the
coins that fell off when I put my.

Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
When I put my play vertically off behind a couch somewhere.

Speaker 4 (01:01:01):
Can I tell you can I'll tell you guys about
just another reason not to discount something that doesn't look right,
or that that looks like a trash bin item. I
let this. I was. I was close to a big,
a big river. I was close to the noose, A

(01:01:22):
lot of activity. If if anybody is from North Carolina
knows the News river so much, so much activity, even colonial.
And this was closer to the ocean where the river
goes out, and I dug this item, and I'm thinking,
you find a lot of scrap type. Yeah, seriously, it was.

(01:01:45):
It was a gift anyway. So we look at this.
We look at this. It's a vague circular item and
it's in it's and it's cut. It's got a wedge
cut out of it, and I'm thinking old bottle cap
that's maybe degraded something like that. I think you guys

(01:02:06):
already know where I'm going with it. I put it
on my car dashboard because I'm because I'm like, I'm
just going to throw it away. And then maybe after
two weeks I look at it and it's been sitting
in the sun, and I see an X one one
on it, And upon closer inspection, the V is from

(01:02:28):
a strike and it's what the it's what the metal
does when you hammer it. And it's a Spanish Maravadus.

Speaker 2 (01:02:36):
Twelve twelve, not an eight yeah, twelve, Oh my goodness.

Speaker 4 (01:02:44):
And where it was found, I mean that that is
minted a real in a real specific date range. So
where it's found would match up with pirate type activity,
and if not pirate, some of the first Caucasian visitors too,
you know, to our area. So that's my that's that's

(01:03:06):
my don't don't discount things when you don't necessarily you know,
when they don't stick. Well, Roanoke was early, So Roanoke
was very early yep, and actually that was not terribly
far but Rooke. You you maybe know more about Ronoke
than I do. But it disappeared, right, and they left

(01:03:28):
a single they left like that. There's a singular message
saying what did they say? Crow a ten? Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
Yeah, it's it's carved in the tree, carved in a tree.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
Right, and so it's supposed to be a message to
uh what was the first it's his last name was Smith.
I can't remember his first name as he returned like
four years later, and they just don't know. There's there's
a whole bunch of conspiracy theories.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
What happened to him if.

Speaker 3 (01:03:56):
They became integrated into the Indians, the Indian tribe out there,
if they all perished and like.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
The whole the whole settlement was gone, like removed. It
wasn't just like just standing there and it was just
gone completely gone, like yeah yeah, So but even in
your area, Jeff, like there were so many merchants coming
up then down there, like you had the whole East
India company that was you know, going up and down
that river and all over the place. So a twelve

(01:04:25):
miravities man could be a lot of different places.

Speaker 2 (01:04:29):
But desinitely cool. All of them are cool, Like it
can come from, it does different places. Every one of
them is cool. So what's the story? Right?

Speaker 3 (01:04:37):
I mean that's what keeps us going. You know, it's
great to find these relics. We understand and appreciate the history.
But then what's the next question. What is the story
that goes with it? How did that end up there?
What's the path that it took? Who touched these these
relics before we come along two hundred years later and
be able to retrieve them and hold them? And you know, yes,

(01:04:57):
you know like like like small you know, shoe buckle fragments.

Speaker 4 (01:05:01):
You know, I dude, I love Okay, this freaked me
out more than more than there you go, you know
what I mean? Sorry, No, you're good. Oh look at
that that This freaked me out, you.

Speaker 2 (01:05:17):
Know, yeah, and an appreciate that.

Speaker 4 (01:05:22):
People people out here like, oh, it's it's a fragment,
you know, because they're like, why you find a full one?

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
Right? Right? Right?

Speaker 4 (01:05:31):
I'm like I'm sorry that I'm I'm just thankful.

Speaker 2 (01:05:33):
For take off the training wheels.

Speaker 4 (01:05:35):
Man, let's go.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
So funny.

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
Yeah, man, we got a couple of questions in the
chat I want to touch on real quick. I know, uh,
let's see the kind of two of them here and
I'll put them both up. But uh, Teresaid asked a
while ago here, what machine do you use or kind
of tell us the the path and the history. Give
us your resume of metal detectors that you've used throughout

(01:06:02):
your career.

Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
Here my five mile relic was asking your top two
that you've used as well.

Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
Okay, So, so Ken is standing in solidarity with with
XP and at least that I know still right. No,
No he didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
What Oh I think I'm pointing to a trader.

Speaker 4 (01:06:26):
That's you're pointing it, Tony.

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
No, No, he's got the D the D word back there.

Speaker 4 (01:06:33):
Okay, Okay, I have always been a mind lab guy,
so I knew I liked you for because I'm uh irresponsible.
The first the first detector I bought was the Equinox
eight hundred. It was the Gen one. I understand they
made some improvements to it, and then obviously they came

(01:06:54):
out with nine hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
That's the you're referring to the control box getting water inside.

Speaker 4 (01:07:02):
Yes, I think so.

Speaker 2 (01:07:04):
I do believe that was like a known issue with.

Speaker 3 (01:07:06):
Those first ones coming out and everybody kind of jumped
off that bandwagon with that.

Speaker 4 (01:07:11):
Yes, so I would say somewhere somewhere in the first
I mean maybe not maybe not early. Uh, Tony is
obviously flexing and he's he's using his manicore. This I do. Yeah,

(01:07:34):
it is glowing, is it is on fire with zeal
like the beast. So so I I will tell you
as awesome of machine as the eight hundred is, and
it's not. It's a decent. It's a nice learning curve
because they're so close to to together and or they're

(01:07:54):
the you know, the same company that the ability to
hear trash tones versus good tones on the manicore is
significant when you have just used the eight hundred, and
the eight hundreds is considered, I meaned to be a

(01:08:14):
great machine. Yeah. But tone shape, I think I think
tone shape is what dictates success or fail or. I
should say, you not digging, you coming back with something
that that you're going to keep. That's that's treasure and
the manicore opened up that whole world for me. So yeah,

(01:08:38):
that's the answer. So I guess it's kind of boring
because I didn't start with you know, I did. I
did buy my buddy. What was that? What's the look?
It's like a it's like a two hundred and twenty
dollars machine vanquish vanquished by forty Yeah, something like that. Yeah,

(01:08:58):
so I for four four. Yeah, I learned that I
learned on that machine so I could teach him. But yeah,
I was kind of spoiled from the from the time
at the day out.

Speaker 1 (01:09:09):
I'll tell you when when uh, Tony and I first
met you and we were talking about you know, we
all got together the first time, and then we were
all going to get keep keep hunting together, and we did.
You and you, Michael and I and Tony kind of
kept formed a little group and we were detecting a
lot together. You know, Tony and I were always talking
about how what a good detector you were, and you

(01:09:32):
were always so humble because you wouldn't. You would always
you know, poo poo that idea. You'd be like, you know,
what are you talking about? But we talk about behind
your back all the time. We'd be absolutely well is
a good detector, she'sn't at eight hundred, Like, you knew
that machine and it was obvious and we you can
just tell, man, when people start finding enough and the

(01:09:52):
least amount of trash they're finding. And you put a
lot of work in that eight hundred and you knew
that machine really well.

Speaker 4 (01:09:58):
I remember both of you saying like, why would you change?
Why would you why would you like you've you've learned
that machine, why would you restart the process and that?
And I'm I'm immature, so I didn't understand that, but
but I do. But I get it now, you know,
because there is a learning curve with each machine. But

(01:10:19):
I appreciate the kind words I think. I'm I'm walking
with with some of the best.

Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
So I will say, uh, you know, we're talking about
machines in here. We we've kind of opened up the team,
you know, you know the way the check goes, so
you know, with everybody still alive with this, you know,
put down there, what you guys swing?

Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
What team you're on? I know, uh, Larry swings the legend,
so uh.

Speaker 3 (01:10:47):
Yeah, just right down and there what you guys use
Maybe I mean, you can even put out your resume
for Jeff too. About what you guys started with. Please
do He'll appreciate that that.

Speaker 4 (01:10:59):
Do of I love resumes. Oh man, so cool.

Speaker 1 (01:11:04):
We had another question that went back to to an
earlier time in the in the show today and it's great.
I mean when you said you went to North Carolina
part of the thing, or and you even went with Matt,
Actually you were learning this the answer to this question,
So why don't you educate us all on some things
you've learned about?

Speaker 4 (01:11:24):
Okay, so I'm assuming she's just talking about permission in general.

Speaker 1 (01:11:31):
Yeah yeah, but like around farm fields and stuff, I
think sure, yeah, saying it's portraying real quick. Yeah, when
I went to Ohio, I mean, you realize it's it's farming,
right Yeah, certain times that you can get into fields.
You come back to Colorado, we're more livestock, so you
know they're not not planting.

Speaker 3 (01:11:52):
So you know, generally and Ken and I have a
permission right now, the guys like you guys can't go
in the field.

Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
I got cows out there. Well that's what we have
to deal with.

Speaker 3 (01:12:00):
Here's cows, but they can be moved the next month
off that land and then we can go out to
those fields. So in terms of an area that's more
agricultural based, you know, like she's asking, when is the
best time to ask for those permissions in those agriculture fields,
you know, to get the permissions.

Speaker 2 (01:12:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:12:20):
So, And granted I'm not I'm by no means an
expert on East East Coast timing. However, everybody around here
is family with everyone, and I would say it's probably
a week after you see the corn, after you see
whatever the crop is is gone, which is generally speaking,

(01:12:45):
like I said, and Tony just just touched on it,
It's going to be different everywhere in the US because
we actually have some year round crop that we have
too where you're just out of luck. But for us,
I'm starting to categorize them in my head about the
timelines for corn, and then the timeline for sweet potatoes,
and then the timeline for we have we have.

Speaker 2 (01:13:07):
Called backer is Yeah, got a got any plug in
backer back of barn?

Speaker 4 (01:13:15):
Yeah? Yeah. So I would say anytime when that that
they are open to the whole gleaning the gleaning thing,
then then it's they're fine, they're fine with it. That's
the best time to ask. I would say, don't ask
anywhere near. Don't do what we did, because then they

(01:13:39):
were just too nice. So they they literally.

Speaker 3 (01:13:42):
Flagged the guy down and he's as he's killing you
like flagged them down. Say hey, can I detect behind you?

Speaker 4 (01:13:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
The field here, that's a little bit too early.

Speaker 4 (01:13:53):
Yeah, no, and it's getting I just moved here, I
would say far. I would say farmers are very regimented,
and they don't like unplanned, unplanned visitors or visitors that
push back, even even if you're not quite there but
you're close. They'd rather not mess with it. So wherever

(01:14:16):
you live, look at when your harvests are and give
us give a safe zone and uh before planting and
then after after harvest.

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
Yeah, is it like so like out here you get
a lot of.

Speaker 1 (01:14:35):
Landowners afraid of the risk they take from their liability.
But out there, I would think that they're so used
to it, they're so used to that being part of
the culture.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
That yeah, just like yeah that.

Speaker 4 (01:14:51):
Turd, Oh my goodness. Okay, So we're not without our challenges,
that's not Yeah, because these are likely owned by a
fifth generation family member, they're always suspicious, you know. However,
everybody knows everybody, So immediately someone can go from suspicious

(01:15:12):
to oh yeah, you know, you know Jim Smith, you
know that. Oh yeah, any friend of Jim Smith can
is welcome here. But but in terms of the what
you're talking about, ken that we actually ran into that
quite a few times as an excuse. Yeah, that's not
a they could care less if you drown in their pond.

(01:15:39):
I mean, no, no, no, I love the people in
North Carolina, but that's just not they are they are really,
I would say because some of it's rural. It's because
it's rural, and rural life is different than city life.
So if I was detecting in Raleigh, I would assume
that some of those folks are having those kind of issues.
But that's never an excuse. It's more of you're inconveniencing

(01:16:02):
my my combine or you're you know right right.

Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
It's a great point.

Speaker 4 (01:16:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.

Speaker 1 (01:16:13):
Yeah, you're just wasting your time, and you're also giving
them extra time to think about it and possibly uh
change their mind.

Speaker 4 (01:16:19):
Yeah, you don't ask them like in right, you don't
give them.

Speaker 1 (01:16:23):
Yeah, you're talking about the whole harvest thing in Colorado.
It could just be like when the husband gets home
or the wife gets home. You told them what yeah, oh,
you know, pulling permission once they.

Speaker 4 (01:16:35):
Okay, I have to tell you guys. I know we're
I know we're like going over, but i'd say yes,
time quick story. So we're in We're in Newburn. If
you guys familiar with Newburn, I'm thinking I'm saying it right.
So you we would in Colorado say new Burn is
what we would say new Burn in Colorado. Here it's

(01:16:58):
new Burn neighbor. This is a this is a very
historical location, especially during the Revolution. And so all of
these homes that are on the on the coast of
where the noose kind of comes into the ocean are
all like pre eighteen hundred homes. So there's like this

(01:17:20):
seventeen eighty home and the wife is there, there may
be seventy plus something like that. She's like, oh, I'd
love for you guys to this our our yard, in
our backyard has never been detected. This would be incredible.
And then so we get ready and then the hud,
Oh my goodness, and then my husband, the husband comes

(01:17:42):
out and realizes what's happening, and it's like, you guys,
you are you are not welcome here. It's so it's
like the two and this is the husband and life.
So we left. But that goes along with what What's
what Ski was saying just about kind of hitting it

(01:18:02):
at a convenient time and not letting it sit right.

Speaker 1 (01:18:07):
Anyway, I was digging your story earlier when you're talking
about the landowner just sent you all kinds of paperwork
and documents and showed you all kinds of stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
There is nothing better for.

Speaker 1 (01:18:16):
A relic hunter than to find a landowner that knows
the history, is interested in the history, has documentation and
stories all about the history, and you get to know
that person and it's just kind of.

Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
Like they see your one of them, and you see
they're one of us history on the history side.

Speaker 4 (01:18:34):
Okay, so let me let me extrapolate on that a
little bit, because this is one of my favorite stories.
We have permission from it's it's owned by a different
guy and he's given us permission. But this this guy
that has the historic family land, he lives like across
the street, so he's watching all this stuff. It's not

(01:18:56):
his property anymore, but he knows about it, right. So
he pulls up and he's like irate. He's like, do
you know what? What are you? What are you doing here?
Like do you have you have you spoken with anybody?
Have you talked to the prop to the homeowner? All
that stuff? And so I start talking to him and
slowly he's he starts to like drop his guard and

(01:19:20):
he is going, and finally at the end he's like,
I'm sorry, man, it's you know, I'm going to need
ten more of you before I change my before I
change my opinion of detectorists. But you've you've given it
a good start. And then I emailed with this with
this guy he knew so much about like even back

(01:19:41):
to he could point out a revolution a revolutionary war
cemetery on the property and only only he knew where
it was, and he knew about it because people had
had looted it. So and uh and maybe a dozen
other stories like that which made him look at me
and say, you know, what's he up to? It's what's
he doing there?

Speaker 2 (01:20:01):
You like the other ones? You like everybody else?

Speaker 4 (01:20:03):
Yeah, exactly. So he comes and stands and ends up
like he's I think his plan was to kick me off.
And then we talked for like an hour and a
half and I have to go, and then I start exchange.
I show him like photos of stuff we've found there,
and he's like, oh, man, that's so cool. That matches
up with this. He sends me photos of the house

(01:20:25):
that hasn't been standing there in like one hundred years.
He's got photos of the garden in the house and everything,
and it's a it is a founding, like seventeen eighty
Ish plantation house that was there. And I have names.

Speaker 3 (01:20:43):
I have.

Speaker 4 (01:20:45):
Brother's name that lives up the road, I have uncle's name.
I even have a story. And this is a little
bit macabre. But a lot of people say, oh, there
was a Civil war camp right here. That's a favorite
thing for people to say out here, which I don't
doubt that it's true, but it's probably not true some
of the time. And this one was an actual There

(01:21:09):
were Civil War UH troops camped here. They stayed in
the homes uh when they were passing through. And then
they talked about how the uncle was actually killed and
they strung him up by a piano string at at
the north part of the property. He was like a sympathizer,

(01:21:30):
he was he did something wrong, and they actually executed
him with a with a piano with the I think
I'm saying it right. It's a string a wire. And
I mean, I don't doubt that that story was true
because he had he had all this corroborative stuff that

(01:21:50):
he sent me, and so it was just neat to
like start to piece together the generations of people that
were on the property.

Speaker 1 (01:22:03):
And that just tells you, you know, for those listening
in anytime somebody does it wrong, we'll call it does
something wrong. I mean, look at this guy. It's going
to take ten good guys Jeff to tent of Jeff
to replace his bitterness for the one or two that
did him wrong. Tony and I are a great position

(01:22:25):
permission right now?

Speaker 2 (01:22:26):
Were the guys the same way?

Speaker 1 (01:22:27):
He's like, well, I've let you guys come out here
and do some hunting one time, and they did everything wrong.
They disobeyed all my direction and all this stuff. And
boy was I a bad judge of character. I just
really thought they were they were it and they were nice,
and I gave him full permission. And so then Tony
and I were like, whoa is he going to give

(01:22:48):
us mission? And he ended up taking a chance on
us and gave us, gave us permission, but he's still
kind of watching us, you know what I mean. I'm sure, yeah,
he just has the bone in them. Yeah, but it's
gonna take some time, you know. And and that's the
sick because somebody did it wrong. Somebody did him wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:23:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:23:09):
Yeah, So when you go out there, when you get
the permission, you go out there and you actually find
some very thin wire somewhere. It was like a loop
on it, you know, like, what does piano wire doing
out your face?

Speaker 2 (01:23:22):
Timing?

Speaker 4 (01:23:23):
Okay, do you remember when I when I texted you guys,
it's kind of upset because again I'm immature, And remember
I texted you being like I didn't find these, but
my buddy found too. Draped in a row. Yeah, that's
that's where it was. That guy's house was a right.

Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:23:41):
Yeah, sounds amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:23:44):
But we we give you a bad time, man, but
we sure are happy for you for you to be
in the place you're at and for you to find
some digging partners there, even though we feel like you're
cheating on us.

Speaker 2 (01:23:54):
Yeah, that's all right.

Speaker 4 (01:23:56):
Yeah, it's like my response Brandon as a cooler in
the back of this truck.

Speaker 2 (01:24:01):
Yeah, he's got a cooler in the back of history.
He's got a cooler, so I do. I would step
up for a game, ken.

Speaker 4 (01:24:12):

like you. Guys are like you, guys are like family. Obviously,

still in touch and I'm and I still talk to

corner of his eyes like damn pickles.
