The Finder Guy

I started this channel for my daughter that loves to watch daddy “find treasure “ so i started recording my adventures! Located in Ct USA
I jumped into the hobby in December of 2020 and have been hooked since! I have met some awesome people and learned a lot so far! Cant wait to show you what surprises i pull from the ground! I primarily detect old homesites, cellar holes, farm fields, and anywhere i can save some history! This really is THE best hobby! *** new content includes bottle/dump digging, artifact hunting, and other adventures!

    @@TheFinderGuy just kiddin. Because I didn’t know how to use it. Turns out my temu silver came out blue on a men’s bracelet and 3 rings. All listed and marked as s925. Thing is the bracelet was like $3.00. The melt value of the weight would be around $15.00. Lol. Killer deal. None of it I would say is really a rip off. It’s priced low enough. But why Mis lead ? Ya know? Ofcourse my Buffalo round that I tested. Came out red. All thanks to your video here. I am able to properly test it all out. And verify that my tester is infact 100% authentic 😂

    @rokinrandy yea, lol definitely would have expected that from a website like that. And I agree, why bother faking it if you’re gonna price it that cheap anyway 😆. Glad I was able to help!

    Thanks for explaining it a bit further. I was having a real hard time looking at the stone & acid bead itself. All I could see was a black blob. Looking at your drops, they look as black as mine! I've watched people testing and they seemed to just look and know. I was sure my acid was bad. But now I'll try again and see if I can make it work. When they say it might show as creamy white, how will you see that? Now, if I can just get used to my Kee gold tester, I'll be in business!
