i got a .58 cal musket from the civil war era, and i can confirm that slug you dug up is a .58 cal. if you want to know a little more we can talk, i love war and war stuff, so if you want any info on that round, like if it was shot, which side made it, if it was shot what grain load was used, and what gun was used

I love that for you guys, a house built between the 1840s and 1860s is "Super Old"! For us here in rural France that's like the day before yesterday :)) But that doesn't take away from some of the great finds you make, the bit of paper in that old compact was a real treasure and your enthusiasm is so infectious!

If I found a skeleton key like that, I’d walk around and check out the oldest building in town to see if any had a keyhole that looked like the key might fit. I watch a fair number of these type of videos and I cannot understand why so many folks with metal detectors don’t seem to think of having a spray bottle of water or alcohol to clean some things off without rubbing sand and dirt into them.

Maybe it just makes their gloves/hands/equipment too muddy . Just my thought

People who've never gone detecting don't understand just how rare it is to find a skeleton key, especially one that nice. Yeah it's not a treasure chest, but it's still very exciting.

The cat at 6:16 says, hurry up! I gotta go potty and you're digging in my favorite spot! 😯😸😽

Hi. I used to do metal detecting for fun in my backyard. The house was built around the 1840"s. I found a huge dumping spot on my property with old bottles, etc. The one thing I learned was I found a large cent penny 1865. I washed it off. And OFF came the top layer of that penny. So always let them sit and dry then use a fine brush to dust it off. I'm no pro but when I saw this coin it brought back memories.

While I've never had the time for it, being aware of many 150+ year old cellar holes made me curious. What I can't understand is the apparent maniacal response when finding an object of absolutely no value. As I'm old enough to be your grandfather I assume my confusion is a generational thing.

I hope you get this comment. People like you make detectorist have a future. You understand the simplest things overlooked by some experienced detectorist. Also you had compassion and knoledge of that old structure. And you understand your permission. Good job happy detecting.

A BIG CONGRATS ON THAT HUGE KEY. Nice saving that relic. Beautiful Franklin too. And Washington as well.

Sweet finds, Jon! Love that skeleton key! The compact lid and sash buckle are really nice, too! Great hunt!

I love the pic in the thumbnail, really looks like you dug that.

Enjoyed your video. Really like the fact of before and after quick shots and not allot of waisted time on nothing.

I love the house, some great finds there JD, take care, honey have a good Memorial weekend. much love🙂💓👍

Excellant video JD im close to sixty now and i remember seeing these beautiful pieces that you are digging into setting in my elders farms and houses as a young boy so you inspired me to take up treasure hunting and i have found many old and new coins now and i have found the old antique metal pieces my gratest find was in the mountains by a old fire pit area and after digging about 12 inches down i found a manhole cover for water to the city clear up in the mountains ?

Amazing video and amazing channel and amazing job friend 😀😎❤👍

Stellar finds! Take care Hun, see ya on the flip side!!

So much adventure! I love this find!

Just to let you know something, that key you found I believe is a jailhouse or jail door key. My company has renovated several old jails, and the keys were just like that. 1800s-early 1900s.

Just found you on youtube! But I love old places! My Dad and I used to go to some really old places and dig for bottles. Sometimes we'd find coins in the soil when we turned it over. My Mom was the coin collector. She'd loved it when we'd bring back some coins for her.Keep those videos coming! I love them! Wish I could still dig, but my knees are too bad to bend now. SO you find the good stuff for me and give me a shoutout saying this one's for you Sherry!

Sweeeet. Last year I found my first skeleton key and it was one just like that. Very large and also bent like that. A few feet away I found the brass keyhole frame that went with the key.

Research can pay off big time. But it isn't always the rule. A farmer in England asked a detectorist he knew to help find a hammer he'd lost in a field. The detectorist found the hammer, but along the way he also found several millions in Viking gold and silver. The only research he did was to ask the farmer where in the field he might have lost the hammer. .

Could that large 'compact' you found be a cigarette or tobacco holder? The paper might have been rice paper 'rollie' papers for roll-your-own cigarettes? Great finds!

Trevor Nunya it's a possibility it could have been a women's cosmetic compact. Some had lipstick, perfume, rouge, etc. and some had oil blotting papers to absorb oil on the face. (Which were also made from rice paper) they were popular in the 20s- early 50s. Some even had a chain on them to be carried like a purse.

Hey Jon, another great video sir. Today, one of my favorite musicians of all-time passed away (Gregg Allman, aged 69). My favorite song of his was Midnight Rider, and one of the lines from that song is "I've got one more silver dollar, but I'm not gonna let em catch the Midnight Rider..." Any chance you can do a video on your most rare, or storied silver dollars? Take care man, and be safe out there.

I wish he found the thresher chest that the key fits in !

I can't imagine how it first got thus misused, but you, the Hoover Boys and other U.S. detecting channels all seem to refer to any old key as a 'skeleton' key. A 'skeleton' key is actually a term used to describe a sort of master key that will open any lock in a building, and possibly others elsewhere, too. It was a locksmith's device, or a master key, as used by such as chambermaids and porters in hotels, capable of opening or locking any room. The term has also been applied to 'security' keys that do not have fixed 'teeth', but a slide into which various bits with different tooth settings for different locks could be affixed. What you found there at 3:25 is a big old key, and not a bone in sight. .

@@jiroscoptic4228 Sort of begs the question why you'd be locking all the doors in your own house. Doors to the outside, yes. But surely you wouldn't lock the bedroom doors, the kitchen door, the door to the lounge? And with those very large keys that come up occasionally you'd have to have huge, ungainly locks on every door. .

My bucket list: anything good. Nice Frankie.

I think you mean a 1943-S copper penny. They sell anywhere from around $600,000 to $900,000 depending on its condition. Only a few were made in 1943 as the copper was needed for the war effort. 99.99% of the 1943 pennies were zinc coated steel.

My mom had a collected skeleton keys, had about 50 on a wall when I was a kid, and she was born in 1920, so you know how old they were, but I don’t know where the collection ended up, I guess one of my sisters has it. Would be neat to mount with a pic of the type lock/door it would have gone on for an art piece.

It's always important to put any relevant keywords in the first part of the title. Otherwise you just shoot yourself in the foot. As you mentioned, a large portion is excluded in the sidebar. I think it only shows about the first 40 characters. Even in a manual search, you only see the first 70/100. Most people click on videos before they read the whole title anyway. So I don't think it makes much of a difference. I have many similar videos that have less than 10k views. KZread is goofy. =P
