Shut the— Did you get me yelling? Yeah, I got it. You filmed him when I was yelling?
Speaker A
I filmed you yelling and him very slowly pulling away. Attention everybody. Today is a special day. It's Mystery Package Monday, which is why you don't even know what's in this package. Can you put some life in the shop?
Speaker A
Life? Yeah, like a soul. It is your job. I'm extremely excited to reveal what I've purchased.
Speaker A
One of the most reputable metal detectors in the world. I hereby declare bankruptcy after buying this.
Speaker A
We have the carrot. That's a carrot. Oh, it's the Garrett carrot metal detecting pinpointer. So, as I'm metal detecting, I can see what's in the dirt.
Speaker A
Yes, we got a tel. Oh, that's nice. Now, I got this super nice ultra cool awesome metal spade metal detecting shovel. So, I will use these to dig up things that I find. Can we please? I think we're
Speaker A
actually on to something. Stop. Trying to shut it off. There we go. It's a metal detector for where we short people. It's a very good joke. You needed to record this.
Speaker A
Yeah. You need to dig there. All right. We're going to get this thing tuned up and I'm going to show you guys everything I find.
Speaker A
Just to get the hang of this, I'm going to be detecting and I have a few targets that we're going to train the detector on as we find things. The digging team.
Speaker A
The digging team number one: Brady Proarot. Nick Pro Shovel Digger. John the Tank. He's going to follow up behind and dig you with your bare hands. Apparently, I have a silver dollar here. I want to see the tone that it gives this and then
Speaker A
we'll know. We'll know what tone to look for. So, silver's like a really high beep. Look at the circle on the map. Look 90. So the higher the number, the better this is. So let's see what gold does.
Speaker A
This bitch's hanging up 46, dude. Yeah. No, it's perfect. Fake as dude. I knew it.
Speaker A
Got a 95 digger. I need a digger now. Carry. Nothing here, sir. Nothing. Okay. Move on.
Speaker A
Next mark. Oh, you found that? Give him double shower tokens and a snack. We got something, sir.
Speaker A
95 mirrors into his face. This is where the old house was on the farm. There might be some good down here.
Speaker A
There might actually be something there. Hold up. Oh yeah, dude. There's something good there.
Speaker A
Get our first find. It's big. Whatever it is, dude. I'm excited. Honestly, it's probably like a piece of metal.
Speaker A
Oh, there it is. Oh, I picked up a can. Cool, though. Worth 10 cents.
Speaker A
Wait, that was a big one, guys. Oh, it's round. Dig. Right there is the center.
Speaker A
We got a good one. Oh, it's a coin. What is it? What is that?
Speaker A
What is it? No, you're taking this shot. Oh my God. It's going to take like months. Can we get another digger?
Speaker A
There's going to be another digger. Bro, it's a direct circle, too. This is going to be good whenever it's in there.
Speaker A
I'm excited. Oh, what is it? What is that? I don't know. It's a gutter.
Speaker A
Yeah, you got pre-cut holes. Who gives a— Oh, cover it back up. We're just finding junk.
Speaker A
I'm telling you, we got something good here. Well, don't chop it up. Could be an iPhone 16. All right. Now, carry that pop candy.
Speaker A
This is garbage, man. We got something good here. The rest of the can. Okay, we're shredding my yard for no reason. This is stressing me out. We need more diggers.
Speaker A
Boys, find anything interesting, be sure to turn that into the warden. Yes, sir. Sir, I think you're going to want to see this.
Speaker A
What do we got? Keep digging, sir. Jelly rapper. Wait, actually, no. Onward. I don't think anything's going to be up there. You never know. Did you serve three years in the search core?
Speaker A
Everybody hold tight. We got 36. Go, go, go. Do your job. Do your job.
Speaker A
Excavate the hole. What do we find? Another pop can. Oh my God, bro. Wa.
Speaker A
Holy. There's something big here. It's a pop can, sir. GOD diggers now. Oh God.
Speaker A
Oh my God. You guys are digging on each other's shovels, idiots. From now on, I don't want anyone digging anyone else's hole. Is that clear?
Speaker A
Carrot is not picking up anything, sir. I like how we can just move on from the hole. We got another pop cam back here, sir.
Speaker A
He'll go, "Wait, really?" And then we just leave. Wait, really? Oh, what is it? Another pop.
Speaker A
Another pop can, sir. Oh my God. I NEED A DIGGER NOW. OH, LOOK. What is it?
Speaker A
It's another pop candy, dude. Not from there. Yeah, it is. That's not what I was detecting.
Speaker A
Literally got it. Hold that. Something weird's happening. Sir, what? Not finding much. That's exactly what they say before they find.
Speaker A
So, I actually am just curious what this 40 could be. We should dig this.
Speaker A
Whatever it is, I'm just like knocking it all around the place. Whoa. What? It's a bullet, dude.
Speaker A
No way. Actually a cool find. Yes. No way. Sick, dude. An old rifle bullet. Hell yeah.
Speaker A
That's actually cool. You get the day off. Seriously, dude. Yeah. Go take off, man.
Speaker A
I found the bullet. You did not find the bullet, bro. You gave up on the hole.
Speaker A
I found the carrot. You gave up on the hole. Guys, this is not like us. Stop fighting. We stick together as a team.
Speaker A
We dig as a team. You hear me? Just give it up, dude. It's another pop can.
Speaker A
Not another. No, you do not. Don't abandon a hole halfway through the— We've already pop can.
Speaker A
Wait, really? Yeah. Uh, let's make our way back to the start. Well, while we're looking for something worth more than a pull tab, I want to talk about Whatnot, which is an online live streaming auction platform where they sell literally everything.
Speaker A
Pokémon cards, sports cards, electronics, knives, Legos, tools, snacks, seafoods, meats, anything you name, it's on there. I'm also giving away $1,000. So, more on that in a minute. I just got some candy for $2.
Speaker A

Speaker A

Speaker A
The real YouTube wrist and diesel. With my code, it would have been only $5. Why is only one shovel activated?
Speaker A
John, what's that in your hand? Hey, Spade. And why is it not in the dirt?
Speaker A
Why is his hand in the dirt? Activate quad shovel. NO. YEAH, YOU up that. No, there's a high value Civil War relic in this hole and you guys are just shoveling at it like maniacs. Wow, we're digging this
Speaker A
really bold signal. Download the app called Whatnot, and you can find treasures just like this, but way better. If you follow W1000 on Whatnot, you're automatically entered to win $1,000. And that could buy you something like this metal detector. My ride's
Speaker A
here, so I got to go. Today, we're going to be metal detecting this massive property. It's core Civil War territory. We got, um, Chief Digger.
Speaker A
You're not a digger. You're right. He's going to be helping us kind of like manage the dig team.
Speaker A
The digging team number two, Mr. Deep Hole Digger. I don't give a what their names are.
Speaker A
Your only job is to dig. D-I-G. You guys are going to have fun today.
Speaker A
It's going to be a lot of fun. Lieutenant, sir, you want some sunscreen on your back?
Speaker A
Give me that sunscreen. Dad gum it. Why are we wearing orange? Just seemed like the appropriate color.
Speaker A
If you guys find something, what do we do? Pocket it. No, do not pocket it, stupid.
Speaker A
He's so stupid. He doesn't even know he's stupid. Oh, you bring it to the warden here.
Speaker A
Oh, yep. If you found something good, you get the day off. Got it. Yes, mister.
Speaker A
I'm gonna go stand here in the shade if you all can chill over here.
Speaker A
Oh, me too. Now, the problem is this is also Whistland Diesel's property, so there's like hundreds of vehicle remains everywhere. So, we might be detecting some of that.
Speaker A
All right, you guys can come in the shade now. There's no need to stand out there in the sun, you stupid.
Speaker A
Got something. All right. Yep. Hit it. Good luck. If it takes 20 minutes to dig a hole, it takes 20 minutes to—
Speaker A
Keep digging. Don't break it. What do we got? Wire. Damn. Damn it. I got an artifact that I found with my detector on my own with no digger.
Speaker A
One highgrade washer. Well, that means we get a day off, right? Dig an extra deep hole just for that.

We're going to find every damn thing. Move that house. Probably ain't nothing down there. I found it by now.
Speaker A
I wouldn't tell the queen bee that reading on that, dude. Holy. That's my wife.
Speaker A
AR27. Oh, they didn't have that. AR-15. How do you know? Cuz I It's reading on the detector. It says AR-15.
Speaker A
That hole ain't going to ding him. What? Yes, sir. That hole ain't going to ding him.
Speaker A
I don't understand a word you just said. It's got to be a treasure chest, dude.
Speaker A
There's no way. We're 30 ft deep. What is it? Shrapnel. That's it. Yeah, that is definitely an air 15.
Speaker A
David, are you overheated? A little bit. You're not. Oh, okay. Run it off, dude.
Speaker A
I do not sound like. WE need a shovel now. Do not move. I'm so sorry about this, but we got to dig through his spine.
Speaker A
It's got to be this. John, do not move. All right. Well, the next spot that we want to detect and we're going to go out to the top of the hill in the woods. The holes will be hard to dig, but it'd be
Speaker A
worth it. Now, unless anybody objects, I say we go now. Now, we're at the top of the hill. Back in the day, this was called the center of a Civil War was right where we're standing right now. So, this should be a
Speaker A
fairly good digging location. Sang Abram Sang Z. I noticed you leaning up against the truck a little bit. Wonder if you can get back to it. Maybe some please. If you turn the camera off, he won't tase me.
Speaker A
Roger, go commercial. Don't you dare stop rolling. Roger. This is the lowest number we've gotten all day. This is a five.
Speaker A
I'd say right here. Oh, what? Right there. a button. All right, we have nice shallow easy target and a solid 40 right there.
Speaker A
Straight under that. What we got? Looks like a bullet. Oh, wow. It looks like the old wrapping of a bullet. Some sort of rifling. Wo, that's cool.
Speaker A
What? Nothing. I'm filming. You think I care if you're filming? Yes. Yeah, I do. Actually, we're getting a lot of ratings for not being near a house or a building. So, I actually do think this was used like in
Speaker A
the Civil War as like a like a lookout or something. I just want to find like one Civil War artifact today at least.
Speaker A
All right, last hole before lunch right here. Almost out bullets, dude. Nice. Find a lot of bullets, but they're modern. No Civil War bullets.
Speaker A
We'll keep looking. What is it? Oh, Penny. No way. shotgun. Winchester shotgun. Now guys, you will not be pleased to hear this, but there is one more hole we have to finish.
Speaker A
Stop detecting. Oh yeah. Oh, what is it? Holy dude, a quarter. No way. He's dropping everything.
Speaker A
No way, dude. A quarter. No way. 2020 quarter was bath time in the hole.
Speaker A
I swear to God like the the murder that's gonna happen. She's like, "Oh, 2020." Like you thought 2020 quarter was a foot deep. Wow. The uh previous travelers here in 2020 must have dropped a quarter and it buried itself a foot underground.
Speaker A
All right, guys. This is so fun. So, we're in the middle of like the woods on the hill. There's not many things, but when you get something good, it's like such an identifying hit. So, like right there, there's something. But watch.
Speaker A
Nothing at all. Watch what happens right here. Watch. It's so cool. This is a sneaky small one. Maybe we don't want that, though.
Speaker A
You obviously don't know where it is. You're lost. He's just a lost and confused little boy. He doesn't even know what he's doing. He just wants to play in the dirt all day.
Speaker A
Yep. Shocking. Oh my god. We got to go. All right. Wasted all that time.
Speaker A
Well, guys, this uh wraps up the uh metal detecting video. not over till we find Pandora's box.
Speaker A
Until then, I'll see you next. All right, so this is everything we found metal detecting the uh Nope. This took a long time to dig all this up. We have these archaeologists just cleaning up our finds here. We're just joking.
Speaker A
This is the Cyber Truck, actually. Let's go over what we actually found. Oo. Actually, there was like seven people digging for two days straight in this one. Part of a a chain with a hook, part of a horseshoe. Here's the cooler finds.
Speaker A
We have a bottle cap, a bullet shell. There's a 5.56 bullet. I think an AR.
Speaker A
Some ends of shotgun shells. Monarch MK 20 gauge. So, there's a bunch of 20 and 12 gauge shells from someone hunting.
Speaker A
There's like a button. Must have been from a president, a US president. I can't tell if that used to be a coin like some big coin like a Roman um duboon.
Speaker A
And then this is probably the coolest. We found a penny. We found a wheat penny. So that's cool. We found money.
Speaker A
Like actual money. Like we'll probably run a bit of a deficit for a while.
Speaker A
Yeah. Not too many finds. Honestly, I think the metal detector is a waste of money. Well, if it was a good metal detector, I would have found something cool.
Speaker A
No, it's about the property. We should go to like people's common metal detecting spots and just scatter like buckets of staples everywhere.
Speaker A
That's so mean. Yeah. Anyways, cool. Fun. Yeah. Great. Nice. Won't you tell me how you spend all the hours in a barroom so lonesome or tilling the ground?
Speaker A
Will he remind me of the golden rod flowers? Are they still bright as sunlight or have they turned brown?
Speaker A
I can remember the morning of calling on the 8th of December when I went away.
Speaker A
But I'll come back as long as you let me.
