What Did We Stumble Across? - Strange Old Coins Found Metal Detecting a 300 Year Old Farm!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2024
- We find some of our oldest things metal detecting old colonial farm fields because the land has been pretty much undisturbed for centuries. Back then all farming was done by hand so people were working in these fields constantly, and will all that activity they can't help but dropping and loosing things. This year several farmers in our area didn't harvest until the week of Christmas so we've been patiently waiting and watching. Finally several open up and the first one we chose to go to is this field that surrounds a 1740's house and from what we hear the fields have never been detected before. The one caveat though, it was planted with corn which makes detecting pretty difficult. We made the best of it though and along the way pulled several really old coins from the ground, including 2 that were not only crazy old, but also really strange, with none of us ever even seeing either of them before! What a cool mysterious site trying to figure out that type of people must have passed through here all that time ago. An awesome way start the farm season in the new year!

Really enjoyed watching. I work a 3rd shift job. 7 pm 7am. I just binged watch 30 of your videos. Im now caught up. Keep up the great videos. You make me laugh. All the best Jon.
Farmers are starting to learn that there are better options than leaving the corn stalks standing. There are a few combine attachments AKA Stalk Stompers that knock the stalks off at ground level. This helps with decomposition of the stalks and cuts down on tire damage. In the future I think you will see more farmers using them. Lets hope so!
I prefer to leave the stalks standing, especially for no-till farming. Chopping the stalks creates a thick matt of stalk material that prevents the ground from warming in the spring.
3:40 I’m with Doug on Taco Bell. Yuck
Interesting information on corn fields.
Nice to see you connect with some of my fave You Tubers!! Green Moutain & Adventure archeology!!
Cool unusual coin finds this time....All you guys did good...👍👍
Awesome hunt buddy great old strange coins happy dirt fishing and God Bless…Virgil
My favorite channel. Love these guys!
German and Belgian coins. Terrific finds guys👋👍
Thats a so called 1/4 Stüber 1784 Juelich/Berg made in western Germany(Rhineland Region) in the later 18th Century. The Fact that its found in the USA makes it extremly extremly rare. Am german was bying and selling Coins for years and thats how i know
Cool Leopold find! I found a two cent coin with Leopold dated 1833 back in 2019 !
Dog tag Doug it's hilarious I think your coin is taco after you said yeah and you held it up that's funny stuff
Good to see you swing your detector Jason sometimes, instead of following those other guys around with the camera . Nice original coin finds !
A nice field to detect in. Unusual coins can showed up. See you on the next. 😊
Happy newyear for the all of you ‼️I knew the king Leopold coin from Belgium and also the stuber, we in Holland has till the year 2000 stuiver, sounds allmost the same as stuber, Belgium and Germany are our naburs as you probably know? Nice finds guys and till the next upload! Best regards from Holland 👍
Belgian Leopold cents and German Stubers are familiar finds where I live (The Netherlands, not far from German border). Would be interesting to know how they ended up across the pond. Maybe the farmhouse was inhabited by Belgian/German immigrants back in the days? I enjoyed this episode.👍
Lots of Germanic immigrants in the eastern US, my family being one of them. Hello from the US.
Could have been the landowners at the time hired German and Belgian field laborers and they dropped the coins working the fields.
Cool thanks my friends six stars
Nice work boys! Corn can be tough, we do a ton. Try swinging the other way, it’ll make your day easier
Never seen those coins dug before! Great finds!
Those foreign coins were awesome. That odd shaped buckle looks like it was for a horse halter.
Those coins were sweet finds Jason!
You guys had some very nice finds.I enjoyed your video and good Luck to all of you.
Forgetting the flashlight in the car? What a Rook!
Love seeing what you guys find.
Nicely done guys I enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸
“Hup” that was a dad joke there Doug. 😅
@@dogtagdoug6751 🤣🤣🤣
Another outstanding outing by the QH & crew!! WTG. Happy New Year 2023 for you all!! Blessings!
Sweet foreign coins! Love that old Stuber! Corn is tough for sure, I don't do them much but recently hit a new corn field spot and have been crushing it with buttons there and a few decent large cents! Happy New Year gentlemen and Wicked happy hunting 👊
Jason good video. Doug love that mangled fork. Kinda hard to eat from haha. Happy New Year.😄
I found a king William III Dutch half cent the other day!
Nice day 👍👍👍
Nice Hunt, thank you for sharing all the best from Canada!
@@dogtagdoug6751 👍👍
Great finds brothers
Great finds.👍🏽
you go guys!! Good Luck!!
How's it going Jason. Man speechless on the 2 foreign Coins. Great Hunt. Just caught up with your last I say 15 videos. All of awesome. Weather here has been bad. First time in maybe 5 years I haven't been able to go out. Driving me crazy. Take Care all of the crew
I feel the pain with that cornfield. I use the 6” coil on my Legend in cornfields. You have to go a little slower to cover everything but you can get closer and in between the stalks a lot easier
Jason, here in the South, people refer to Taco Bell as "Toxic Hell".
Also, a quick question: How come nobody in the crew ever carries a magnifying glass?
Great video!
I’ve had some of my best finds in corn fields and I agree that it is very difficult. What I like is when the farmers plow making a whole new field. I’ve hit the same fields year after year and some are still producing pretty good. Love your videos
Looks like I'm going to just be a spectator of your videos had house fire 2 days before Christmas lost everything so I'll be watching find some good Stuff Love your videos
Hey its the video we get and I appreciate it. Corn or big weeds suck. Sometimes I feel if I had a sickle on the edge I can cut off the grass. Cool finds you got an immigrants coins from his country when he came to the states
Great video. Some incredible finds. Those coins were very old but you were still able to identify them. Thanks for sharing!
Very interesting! Sorry about the difficulties, but y'all still had really interesting finds - even the buckles! Thanks for taking us along!
Not a bad day wandering around in the corn. I love finding foreign coins.
Just be glad that corn was harvested. Haven't you ever watched Children of the Corn? Don't ever go into the corn in the Summer...Gotta Love It!
I'm with Doug about Taco Bell.... that is NASTY stuff!
Love that old coin of a different variety. I love seeing all these coins.
Those coins might be from German settlers who went to America through the Belgian harbor of Antwerp. Antwerp was a popular gateway for German migrants to America becouse it had a direct railway connection with Cologne (German Rhineland area) since 1843.
My favorite detecting channel. Matt hunted out the first field just like that!
I see stuff and don't know what it is all the time too Doug!
Nice finds you guys and the weather looked great for hunting, hope we get some here.
Wow, cool coins. I bet your right, that might have been a hessian soldiers coin. Maybe they lived in the house or stayed there for awhile. Cool history!
Always entertaining and educational. Wow, Jason! Great finds today.
Thanks for the adventure!
Awesome video as usual guys.❤️❤️
@@dogtagdoug6751 too bad we're not closer would be a hoot to get in a hunt with you guys.
NICE.
Now those coins are freaking awesome congratulations.
Awesome and interesting foreign coins Jason! A very happy and healthy New Year to you, Dog Tag Doug and the rest of the Quarter Hoarder crew!
New subscriber. Absolutely love your channel. Educational and fun to watch all the various pieces of history you guys find. I think this would be a great hobby.
@@dogtagdoug6751 thank you. Wow! It’s Dog Tag Doug. That’s pretty cool. Enjoy watching you guys.
Those two coins were amazing! I thought I had every type foreign coin......but I never saw either of those. Can't wait to see what else turns up out there when those stalks are gone.
I love watching you guys, you find awesome relics and have fun doing it!
Congrats on the interesting old foreign coins and other buttons and relics.💥✨
Why don't you stand to the side and swing lengthwise, that might even work in the narrow rows.
Awkward but a longer swing???
Great finds but frustrating.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Awesome hunt guys ! Very interesting foreign coins ! Wondering about the for Dog tag Doug found , hopefully silver , thanks for sharing with us 23:15
Nice video as always guys. Jason I really like the two awesome coins the Belgian 1 cent and the 1784 Stuber.
Next time walk across the rows and swing between them long ways you can get a little longer swing......
Congrats on the foreign coins. I like that buckle Matt! I have seen people take and tie a few boards behind their truck and drive through the field and mow down the stalks. But getting permission too do that is another thing.
Cool coins brother, fingers crossed you catch the homeowners and get that permission! 🤞🏼
Woohooo. Very cool finds!
Gorgeous house from a distance.
Awesome video ! Congratulation for all ya`ll finds ! Good luck and best wishes on ya`ll next hunt !
How can you not love dog tag Doug I see something but I don't know what it is love you Doug I'm going to miss Rip Van Winkle you guys might find something today
Happy new year! 🎆🎇
I can't wait to get back out but it won't be the same since my best digging buddy passed.
Wow Jason ,you killed it on the foreign coins,congrats
Happy New Year with lots of great Finds!
This is fascinating and I think I may be ready to try detecting. It looks addictive haha. I have watched several of your videos, I know you guys brush coins in the field but do you do any other type of cleaning at home?
Awesome finds.
Happy new year can’t wait to see what you find this year
Love those old foreign coins. It’s almost like detecting in Europe
Great hunt guys! Corn fields can be tough.
Happy New year guys
Go the other direction across the rows with small coils
Great finds stalking through the field of corn! Wonder if those old foreign coins would have belonged to some Amish immigrants that may have owned that land at one time??
Allways the best from you all ! HAPPY NEW YEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS!
That first coin you found... Had you found that in Norway I would say it was a "1 Skilling" from 1820... For some reason they always come up with those weird lines through 'em...
I hope this year start out athere great year for you guys good luck
Nice hunt and finds Congrats Guys 👊
Nice finds Jason. On those narrow corn rows, you could swing your coils the opposite direction as you shimmy your feet along the other row next to it. Kind of like detecting parallel, along side a concrete sidewalk. That’s where the 6 inch coil would have been ideal. I have the Legend pro pack and I’m happy with it. Happy Hunts. _/ 👍
Hi there. I have just discovered your channel and would love it if you could do a test of the British built Viking VK30 which costs about £200 or if that is too expensive the Viking Vk20. They are great budget detectors and would be interesting to see how they compare with the other budget detectors you have tested 🙂
Hello Quarter Hoarder,Dog Tag Doug and Matt
I recently found an abandoned church near our property. Waiting for the right day to take my detector out :D
Hey Jason and all the fellow detectors who watch his channel. I just bought my first home in the country on 5 acres in NY. The house itself was built in 1988 but almost two halves of it is bordered by very impressive stone walls that date back probably 200 years. Upon exploring today I found a circular stone well that also dates back probably 200 years. I took my dads $60 cheap detector around the property and found a square actually close to the house, semi raised up, with hundreds of signals just below the surface. Original 1800’s house or barn on the property filled in years ago??? Regardless this “toy” detector only reads small signals at the most 3 inches. I know 1800’s gems can be 5-8 inches or more. Any suggestions on an easy to use detector around the $500 range? I will eventually email Jason but I’d like to hear from his viewers too.
A great first detector is the Garret AT Pro. It’s a rugged, super versatile detector that is waterproof up to 10 feet. Salt water detecting can be done but it’s definitely it’s weak spot. I have many detectors, that cost 2 to 3 times more than the AT Pro and I still use my AT Pro fairly regularly.
Try taco bell's Mexican pizza.....yum
I'm with Doug. I don't like taco bellyache! Happy New Year guys!
I want authentic Mexican food, not American tacos.
Very cool finds Jason! Two coins that I've never heard of. Maybe early German settlers, since Belgium and Germany so intertwined? Did you try going cross row on the swinging? Just a thought. Congrats and good luck on the next!
Swing parallel with the rows (in between them) I would. Or use a really small coil.
Whatever Happened to Paul Have not seen in a very Long time
The Taco Bell chicken quesadilla is very good ! Hh
Despite swingability still a great location 👍
Did you have your detector set on foreign coins Jason😁
whoahhh when you sdaid Hessian soldier dude that could be it!! they helped the Brits...damn
I found the 1/4 stuver was Dutch
