Nice if real, but my fraud detector went off while I was viewing it.

There's another video where they find a ring lost for 31 years and give it back to the owner.  It all seems a bit Hollywood, or as you and your American buddies would say.......BS

The tin looked too pristine to have been buried for over a 100 years. Also who would stick their hand in old hand cleanser, I would tip the liquid out.

Did they have commercial hand cleaner 100 yrs ago ? It would surely have gone discoloured and a yukky colour even if they did ?
 Have you seen what colour paint goes after a couple of years in the shed. (Not pretty)
 
They were too keen as mentioned to delve into the contents.
If it were me ,I  would have immediately tipped the contents out if I had any suspicion there would be something inside the content. I wouldn`t "fish"  around with my fingers into some thing that could possibly harm my skin after "brewing" for a hundred yrs  .
  It was ALL a bit contrived and staged for my liking .
Almost certainly another lovely little yarn especially contrived for the gullible  on Youtube . ;D

Quote WillyMuffit ,...."who says its been buried 100 years ? "

 I just went on  what 13oots2  stated ,which was ,quote ..............." The tin looked too pristine to have been buried for over a 100 years."

 Actually just checking the Video on it, those guys said its 70 - 80 years old .

Got to be set up the tins not even rusty. A paint tin in a damp shed is knackered after two or three years, never mind buried in the ground. Where the name is printed on the tin it's still shiney. If you've been bottle digging has anyone found a tin that clean?

Definitely set up, who on earth would film another guy digging a rusty container & then as everyone says stick your hands into the unknown contents ? To give them the benefit of doubt though, it may be based on a real find & simply reconstructed for camera.
