I’ve just started getting into metal detector videos. You are by far the easiest on the eyes! 🤩
you betcha bubba,she is
Indeed she is!!
@@RichardCockerill must be the camera man :)
I love them fairgrounds, the lead strips are tire weights. Awesome finds. Thanks for sharing.
This was my first go at them - I didn’t realize it would be so much fun! I’m going to be on the hunt for more of them now.🙂 Nice to see you tonight my friend.🍀
@@LuckyGin I HAVE A TREASURE YOU CAN DIG UP , IT'S MY HEART FOR YOU
Wheel weights, you can't balance just a tire!
the strange one is lead wieghts for tire balancing ;)
inner rim at that
That guy who lost that needs a wheel balancing.
You BEAT ME TO IT!! ✌🏼😜
They fall off lots
Girls look best in blue jeans just saying.. 🇨🇦
Those are wheel weights that are used on Mag wheels , they stick on as you see they also fall off . In the 1970's we started to put 200 m.p.h. tape over them to slow this from happening. LOVE your smile !!
Pull tabs! Thats all I ever find. My yard is loaded with em. I guess they did a lot of partying. That skeleton key hole is cool.
Ha - you bought the party house! Too bad they didn’t loose silver coins while drinking. 🍀
😂 they must have been drunk when they back filled the front and back yard. All kinds of sh!t.
Fairgrounds are awesome because they have seen so much traffic over the years! Thanks for sharing!
Yes! I had no idea until I gave this one a go. Lots of fun! Thanks for stopping by.🙂🍀
I have never in my whole life ever cine fairgrounds hat is the prettiest fairground I've ever seen in my life
Love your videos, very relaxing and fun to view. Your dialogue is very pleasing. Keep that beautiful smile. Freckles are pretty!
Gotta say the best looking metal detector on RUclips for sure.
It's just a middle of the road machine, now the detectorist on the other hand!!
Well thank you.🥰🍀
When you came across those beautiful eyes and that pretty smile you know you have found the most precious treasure Mike's metal detecting worthwhile have a blessed day this is Bobby
I need to get a magnifying glass like that! Since you have one,now it’s cool!
I love that thing, and now have a finds bag that can accommodate it. 😃🍀
I love your wrap up at the end how the coins are laid out with dates written out, keep going strong!
Thank you - I appreciate that.🙂🍀
Nicely done. Find some old pictures of that fairgrounds and look for old ticket booth locations... Silver my be hiding there!
I’d love to find some old pictures for that area but there doesn’t seem to be much so far. Very remote and sparsely settled. I’ve been researching old maps of the area via library of congress and there sure isn’t much.
What a fun hunt. Should be plenty more good targets laying around. The keyhole piece is interesting. Happy early St Paddy’s Day 🍀. Take care
The keyhole makes me optimistic that there could be other old things waiting to be found. 🙂 🍀 A very Happy St Patty’s day to you too!🍀
The lucky guy that lands you would feel fabulous! Wow, what a beauty. 😘
Awww, thank you.🥰
Good videos Gin. You're a very pleasant and easy to watch lady. Thanks for the shares. I thought we were on our way and then last night 3 to 4 inches of snow and 17 degrees. Bummer. Ground froze up again. Oh well. Again "THANKS"
Well thank you, Denny. I’m afraid your snow is over here now putting the big freeze on my weekend fun too.🥶
@@LuckyGin it'll pass soon. Just that I work, so now I have to wait. 🙂
Old fairgrounds and gathering parks always produce great old finds Good luck 🍀
Finding the old key escutcheon gives me hope there could be other old items there too.🙂🍀
Nice little hunt Gin. Had to laugh when you pulled that big ole magnifier out hahaha if the sun went thru that it would be like a death ray haha. Weather looked great and a nice variety of finds. Thanks for taking us along. HH....Jon
😂😂😂 I’m channeling my inner Sherlock Holmes, don’t you know?!😂😂😂 Its sure to be THE metal detecting accessory of the season.😜. Thanks for stopping by to share the latest Jon.🍀
Gotta love those high traffic areas for finding that clad. Hope you hinted under those bleachers as well. Thanks for another great video.
The bleachers ended up being such a heartbreaker. It looked like they just sat on dirt, but once I got under there I realized there was concrete with rebar in it. 😭😭😭
Your plugs are looking really clean and pinpointing is getting very accurate. Inspiring!
Thanks so much! I’ve got many blisters to show for my improvement with that Lesche. 😂
And the metal detecting is nice too.
I loved watching your videos while recovering from a pulled back muscle. Keep up the hard work and you’ll hit something good over time. Happy hunting😘
Thank you, Todd. I hope you get healed up soon. 🙂🍀
@@LuckyGin Thank you! Doing much better👍
Especially good round up! Looks like east Tennessee with the ridge in the background. Looking forward to seeing your next.
Thanks so much - this was a fun hunt, and the setting beautiful too. 🙂
@@ULM I think those are the hottest jeans I've ever seen! WOW!
Where did you go Schumacher?
It actually looked like Celina, TN to me.
Great video LG, if no-one has posted yet, the mystery items have been produced by a holesaw drill bit. The centre hole is from a 3/8 or 1/2 inch pilot drill and the outer circle is from the holesaw. The jagged edges are where the holesaw rips through the final thickness of the aluminum plate. Love the finds. Lokking forward to some more of your videos. Cheers from Australia
Thanks so much for weighing in on that Grant. I appreciate you stopping by my channel.🙂🍀
I love hunting old fair grounds. So many different relics and coins. Great job! Blessings!
This was my first try at one and it really was a lot of fun. 🙂🍀
Wow, been metal detecting about 45 years and never saw such a beautiful treasure as u. Good hunting pretty angel!
Awww, what a lovely comment. Thank you!🥰
It is always fun joining you when you bring us along on your adventures. Judging from your finds, that place has not been detected very much, if at all. You have a very high chance of finding some old silver coins there. That lock plate is a very nice find!
Thank you, and thanks for stopping by to join me on this. Will I see you next week at mini-Digstock?
@@LuckyGin I will really try to get the time off work to be there.
Hi Gin nice finds Tennessee looks a nice part of the US take care and have a good weekend 😁👍👍
It is lovely, especially when you can get to the most rural areas like this one. Beautiful scenery and not crowded. Thanks for stopping by, Keith.🙂🍀
Great day of detecting. Lots of coin signals is exciting even if there wasn't any old ones.
Definitely - makes the day so much more interesting when there’s lots of signals.🍀
Looks like a fund day. So many different things to find at fairgrounds. The strips are wheel weights for a vehicle wheel to balance it.
Thanks for stopping by this evening Andy. 🙂 I really do love the hunts with lots of targets and variety, so the fairgrounds ended up being pretty cool.🍀
Weights are used to get jockeys weight up to where it supposed be
Great hunt for sure! cool. It always pleases me to see a metal detectorist back-fill and properly re-instate a dug hole. It's one of the things that sets a true hunter apart from the 'also rans'. Anti-tracking is an art in itself. Sloppiness is an affliction..You set some great examples for others in our hobby. Credit where credit is due. 75's are excellent machines, always wiil be! Class is ageless!
Thank you Tim. I always do my best to put things back in as pristine a condition as possible. I really appreciate that you noticed.🙂🍀
I just love watching your shows,Thank you
Thanks so much Terry. I’m really glad you join me. 🙌🙂🍀
Love these country digs nice variety!
Awesome - I try to get some rural Tennessee hunts in when the weather cooperates and I’m able to find a spot. 🙂🍀
Hi I met Gin in Lake Tahoe While me and the wife were out on a pleasant Date. Gin was doing what she does best Looking for valuable objects in the sand on the beach. I want to say thank you Gin you were very nice to speak with me in regards to what you were doing.
You are my 1st RUclipsr I've ever met In person wow.
I found you Lucky Gin while channel surfing on Sat. 04/09/2022. I enjoyed your fairground treasure hunt. You have nice content and a clear crisp sounding voice. Thanks for sharing. From Tampa Bay Florida, USA.
I’m sure glad to have you join me William.🙌🙂🍀
@@LuckyGin P.S. if you come to the west coast of Florida? There are many state parks and beaches to hunt on...Clearwater ,St.Pete beach, Treasure island , and Fort Desoto Beach and Camp ground. in the Tampa Bay Florida region and alittle farther south is Sarasota, Venice, and on down to Fort Myers and Sanibel island light houe beaches. Many are full of people year round. Sure would love to hunt with you hint hint if you come to Tampa Bay Florida.
Great hunt Gin. Congratulations on your finds. Thanks for sharing. 🤙🏼Chris 🤙🏼
Thanks so much, Chris. I appreciate you stopping by.🙂🍀
@@LuckyGin we Volunteers look out for each other. 👊🏻
Tire weights are so random at a fairground! Love the Key hole plate!!
I thought so too, but somebody pointed out they use them For soapbox derby cars. That makes sense. Very excited about the key escutcheon.🙂🍀
could be off of a demo derby car
Great fines!! Tks for taking us along!!!
Thank you - I was excited to share the cool key escutcheon. 🙂🍀
I started watching metal detecting like this a few years ago and thought it would be fun. Now you are getting me fired up…about metal detecting too 😁, I may need to start shopping for a detector and the parts to get going! Great video.
Awww, I love hearing that. It’s such a fun hobby and gets you out into nature.🙂💖🍀
Balance weight strip. Got to love that Tennessee so easy to dig. Stay safe.
I wish it was as easy as the western states. Still, glad to be able to get out and have some fun between trips. 🙂
I had to comment because you got a follower just from your accent alone. Love it. I'm from Tennessee too and wish you well.
Thanks so much John.🙂 I appreciate you stopping by my channel - it’s always nice to hear from people here in my home state.🙌🍀
Happy St Patty's Day Gin . Enjoy all your episodes...
Thank you Kevin!🙌 I do love St Patty’s day. 😍🍀
Should have been some old silver. Wonder if that was fill dirt? Did get some goodies. Good video, look forward to the next one.
I know Jim - I was sure I’d find something silver! 🍀
As I start watching the video I get this Hummmm moment. That sure looks familiar. I hunted there 11-28-2020. I hit the tot lot and ball fields and it has been well hunted in the past. I moved to the same area where you hunted with similar results and a lot of trash. Met a lady walking her dogs so I spent a lot of time just playing with the pups. All in all I had a fun hunt. I ended up moving and ended the days with over $25 in clad and little bling. Fun video, thanks for sharing...
Holy smokes - you got a lot of clad! I’ve never found that much in one day. Maybe you were there right after the fair had been in town? It’s a fun spot and seems to stay busy.
@@LuckyGin High School in that town. I noticed last night that I missed you on Relic Radio. I will be sure and listen to it in a few days.
Nice hunt! I'll also be in NC next weekend (flying in from Seattle) so will say hi if I see you. I was at Digstock NY in Oct and was really happy to see so many female detectorists there!
Awesome Elisabeth - I shall look forward to meeting you! 🤗🍀
I applaud your patience there. I can't see myself detecting for long at the fairgrounds near me. After about the 83rd pull tab and a few crumpled up Schlitz cans from the '70's, I'd call it a day.
I think it’s more dogged determination and stubbornness if I’m honest. 😂🍀
I'll go "detectin'" all day. Have places all ready mapped out in me head, haven't even gotten my metal detector yet!✌🏼😜
I hope there is a detecting in the rain upcoming video with that t-shirt! WoW
I was digging a local park one time and found like 7 dimes stacked. I’m thinking a kid may have buried them. Great video.
That’s kinda neat - that would definitely have you wondering.🙂
Beautiful Smile & a Beautiful Woman! I wish you the best of luck with your findings! ;)
Best wishes ☺️
Gary
She's using my favorite detector. I've found many old and new valuable things with it. Fisher F-75.
I am certainly loving using the F75.🙂🍀
Great hunt Gin... I have the same finds bag I like it. Put safety pin in so it wouldn't slide around. Just started a new permission for a cpl hrs just to test. And found my first thimble. Look forward to next hunt. Be safe and dig on.🍀
Congrats on the first thimble Ronnie! 🙌. I haven’t found one of those yet - sounds like your new permission might be a good one! I’ve figured out that I can put the bag between my belt loop and the d-ring on my tactical belt and it keeps it in place. 🙂
I was going to say those strips are wheel weights but you beat me to it. I'm a detectorist in Tennessee.
Some nice finds once again Gin. You seem to be doing very well with your new machine. If I were you, I’d definitely hit that tot lot I can see behind you over near that football field. Then hit under the bleachers where I’m sure people drop all kinds of things. Good luck next weekend in NC👍🍀
I’m afraid the tot lot was a bust, and the bleachers a heartbreaker. They had concrete with rebar under them. 😣😣😣. Thanks for the wishes for the trip - hoping to find some super cool stuff while I’m there.🍀🍀🍀
Hello Lucky Gin. Those weight strips are used on Pine Wood Derby cars. The segments are glued to the small wooden cars that are not to exceed 5 oz in weight, total. My Son's an Eagle Scout and he's had his fair share of Pine wood Derby races during his Boy Scout years. They don't look like any tire weights that I've seen. I'm currently using my Nox 600 and the Nokta Makro Legend I just received a week ago and still learning. I do, however, still have my Fisher F70 that I will not part with, because it has found me many great treasures. Happy Hunts. _/
Thanks for weighing in on that, Luis. Sorry, horrible pun I know but I just had to.😂. Wishing you much success on your hunts. 🙂🍀
@@LuckyGinA pun is always fun.
I'm a detectorist also and think you are lots of fun to watch. I think you should consider a full-size shovel to help dig your plugs before you wear out your wrist joints trying to push in that trowel. Plus you can dig a plug much faster even one-handed without having to set the detector down while digging.
Oh I couldn’t agree with you more. Every point you made is logical and makes perfect sense. The trowel is so hard for me to use and I end up with blisters all over my palms. However, If I’d used a shovel in this video, you wouldn’t believe how much time I’d have to waste managing troll comments from those who consider using a shovel inappropriate.
@@LuckyGin I use a real skinny bladed D handled one that is commonly used by us and is fairly discrete. But you do have the naysayers out there. Watch out for carpal tunnel!
What a beautiful soul!
Thanks for sharing and have a safe trip.
Thank you, Bernie. Hopefully I’ll have some great new adventures to share from this trip. 🙂🍀
Som good finds, very nice job getting the key hole! Great hunt! Thanks, Clinton
Thank you Clinton - I was really excited about finding that. My first one! 🙂🍀
Loved the video, Gin!! Loved to see the mountains in the background as well!!👏👏 🥰👍👍 Enjoy your weekend!!😉👋
Thanks so much Patrick.🤗🤗🤗
Thanks, Lucky Gin For another excellent video. It always makes my day to watch your videos.
I’m so glad. 💖. It always makes me smile to see you stop by for a visit. 🙂
At the 4:06 mark what you have there are some balancing weights that go on wheels for vehicles. Thanks for your videos!
Thanks for visiting my channel.🙂🍀
The All American girl, just love watching your adventures!
Awww, thank you so much! 🤗🍀
That's a great spot to search. There were probably plenty of horse riders loosing jewelry.
I haven’t got to check the riding arena yet; there’s been riders there every time. Maybe next time.🙂🍀
The fairgrounds looked like a nice place to do some swingin' The uncut tire weight things and the keyhole were rad finds! :)
Thank you Cory. I appreciate you stopping by to share the hunt.🙂🍀
Lots of fun, Gin. That looked like a great location. Happy hunting at Digstock! Make great finds!
Thank you Steve - I’m hoping for some bucket listers!🍀🍀🍀🍀
The metal weight strip as you called it are lead stick-on wheel weights used to balance aluminum truck and car wheels from the inside of the back of the wheel. Regular lead wheel weights are held on by a metal clip that either won't work on those types of wheels or the customer doesn't want the weights showing on the outside of the wheel. I don't know if they still use them or not. We used them back in the late 70's and 80's when I was an auto mechanic.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing that info Marvin. I appreciate you.🙂🍀
Great hunt Gin. Have a really great time at digstock. I'm confident you will kill it.
Thank you so much! I’m really looking forward to it and can’t wait to share some great videos.🙌🍀
The weights are for balancing model airplanes. Putting weights on them will help balance the center of gravity and help stabilize the plane. It makes sense you would find them there as someone was probably flying a remote controlled airplane at the field.
Wow, there seem to be lots of uses for these little weights. I’ve learned a lot about them since sharing this video. Thanks for sharing about their use for airplanes. 🙌🍀
Great hunt Gin! Hope you get to go back to the Fairgrounds soon. I had one of those finds bags, mine kept sliding around so I got a different one. Have a great weekend, God bless!
Thank you. I’ve figured out that I can put it on my tactical belt and through my belt loops, so that keeps it in place between the belt loops. 🙂🍀
@@LuckyGin hhmmm..maybe i should have bought a Tactical belt!
I know a few have mentioned this but for those of us just starting in the detecting field, I will mention it again. If you could add the audio of your detector so we could hear the beeps and maybe even tell the signal number it would be great. I do realize there are times when best to use headphones for crowds etc but just comment. Love your videos, very informative.
Sure thing Jerry. I’ll try to remember to include that more.🙂🍀
Thanks, just getting back into the game. Had my first detector, a Whites in 1982. Then life (kids) slowed that down. Like to research and your channel has helped. One of the really most informative/fun ones out there.
Great to see you out Gin. Looks like you had a good day 😀
Thanks Tony. It was nice to be able to get out and not be freezing for a change! 🍀
You are correct. Tire balancing weights
The 1/4 oz. Weights are used for balancing RC aircraft. They usually have an adhesive backing
Thanks JD! I appreciate you visiting my channel.🍀
Thanks Nice finds 👍 😊
Thanks Richard.🙂🙌🍀
Hey just found your channel and I am enjoying your adventures! I have a fairgrounds close to my home it’s been hit hard since the 1970’s the good stuff is harder to find! Keep on searching !!!!!
Thanks for popping by! I appreciate you!🙌🍀
Looks like you found a good place to hunt, best of luck, Gin 👍😊
Yes indeed, I was really pleased with this spot. 🍀 Nice to see you stop by.🙂
nice digging good luck on your future detecting
The key escutcheon was way cool!👍👍👍👍💖
Definitely my favorite. 🙂🍀
That lead strip is wheel weights for aluminum wheels. Great vid.
Thanks Dwayne. I appreciate you stopping by.🙂🍀
Those little bendy things you found are Aluminum stick on wheel weights.
Keep on getting up Kiddo
I had high hopes these were some cool old weights for something agricultural. Lol. Still, my first time finding them so kinda cool. 🙂🍀
I sub to two detecting channels only because of the styles, and areas these folks hunt. I just started to watch your videos and realized you also fit into my detecting criteria, which is pretty basic honestly. I'm from the west (Idaho) so hunting has been limited for now, but watching you has been relaxing in this crazy world. Thank you.
Hi Phil, I’m happy to hear you are enjoying the videos. I try to keep thing interesting and positive for my subscribers. Hope you get some warm weather and can get out and detect soon.🙂🍀
Looks like fun!!
It definitely is.🙂🍀
Looks like a fun day
It was indeed - thanks for stopping by to share in the fun. 🙂🍀
I was gonna say the lead weights are probably used for tire balancing. Garages carry strips of them in their inventory. I have been detecting for 12 years and it's my fav hobby, actually started out with a Fisher F4...great detector. I like your channel because you show live digs and everyday finds, and you show real joy in doing so. Subscribed today too !
Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to leave a nice comment.🙂 I’m glad to have you join me.
Your two unknown discs were part of old style fuses. When they blew out some people would unscrew the fuse and put a penny in there to conduct current and screw old fuse in to hold penny in place...Many house fires started because of that practice..
That’s interesting - never knew that!
The lead bars are for wheel weights. They need to be melted and molded into wheel weights. The lock escutcheon is pretty neat‼️
The strips of weights she found are "stick-on" wheel weights. They are used on "mag" wheels that don't have the traditional lip that most OEM wheels have for hammer-on weights.
These stick-on weights have a strong glue so they will stick to the backside of the wheel, out of sight, for long periods of time. But, like anything else man-made, these do fail and fall off. For that reason, car owners should have their tires rotated and re-balanced yearly.
Looks like the strips of lead weights are the kind used for balancing tires (wheels) on cars. They stick on to the inside of custom rims.
Thanks Wes. I appreciate you stopping by my channel.
the weight strips are wheel weights for when you get your tires balanced on your truck.
Thanks Gary. I appreciate you stopping by my channel.🙂🍀
Hi gin, the algorithm brought me here.... I do some detecting with a £30 detector here in England.
I'm lucky being in an old garrison town / pow camp and find 160 year old shell casings and Victoria pennies regularly.
We find musket balls from the English civil (1640's) war nearby too !
Happy hunting 👋🏻
Sounds like you have a really great spot for hunting. 🙂🍀 Thqnks for visiting my channel - I’m glad the algorithm brought you by.🙌
It’s for re- enforcement of tarp connections, rivets and backed washers.
Thanks for stopping by and helping solve the mystery.🙂🙌🍀
Again gin nice digs congrats happy hunting
Silver will come in the next hunt
Ooooh, I hope so. I’m hoping to score some bucket listers next week. 🙂🍀
Gin, That set stuff you find are tired balance lead weight. You can find tons of them in any tire shop.
Thanks Alex!🍀
For me knee pads are a must!
Good luck to all
So far I haven’t needed them, but do keep them in the truck in case of really rocky areas.🙂
I'm pretty sure I lost that quarter there in 1972 at an Alice Cooper concert.
Tennessee born. I too like to find mysteries. P.S.- you're about as cute as a new born kitten on a spring day.
Awww shucks. Thank you. 😊🍀
Yep, stick on lead wheel weights. Someone had a rough ride home that evening. It’s good to see another Tennessean on here detecting.
Thanks for dropping by my channel, Jamie! There don’t seem to be many detectorists in Tennessee, so it’s nice to see you here.🙂🍀
That pouch looks very familiar. I had the same one at the Fl Hunt 8 last month :) been watching your channel ever since I met you. I was rock’n the 30 year old Fisher-1225X!!!!
Yes, I remember! I had the thigh holster from the same company for my pinpointer, but broke it while I was down there so I decided to try this bag. I remembered seeing you with yours and once I saw it had the compartments inside, I was sold. So far I really like it - thanks for the inspiration! 🙌🍀
Awesome! I’m headed to a site from the 1700’s on Sunday to hunt….cross your fingers.
@@cymbaldog20 - best of luck! 🍀🍀🍀
Your little lead weight strip are used to balance car and truck wheels...the two aluminum pieces look to be the fall down from someone using a hole saw to drill through some aluminum plate. The center hole would be frome the guide bit and the thin flange around it would bewhere the hole saw punched through the piece of aluminum...
Thanks for taking a crack at those items Dave. The metal pieces seem to be like hollow doughnuts if that makes sense; like they are formed with hollow space in them.
Trop bien !!!!!
Another good video, Gin! I’ve hunted fairgrounds before and you can find some interesting things. Take care!
This was my first time trying out the fairgrounds, and it was definitely fun. 🙂🍀
That was a good days worth of finds. For every coin I found I probably dug up 20 pull tabs. But I still had a good time.
Some hunts are like that for sure.🙂 Thanks for stopping by my channel Jim.🍀
