Hey guys, I'm an old timer woman., and I do remember using some of those coins when I was a kid., Aren't they beautiful coins? I wish they were still used as currency. "Times Change", Ehh? Wow do I feel OLD now! You guys are doin great. GBU., NZ. 🙂😁🙂
So-you just walk up to the door and say”hey, do you mind if I dig up your yard and keep what I find”? And they LET YOU? 🤔. WOW! That’s incredible and some great finds. 🤗
I can hear an old friend's grandparents yelling "Don't rub the dirt ! You'll scratch it even more !" They loved treasure hunting at fair grounds, public parks, beaches, ect. long before fancy metal detectors came along.
I don't detect much, and have only found 2 silver coins, both 1943 Mercury dimes, one across the road from me and one next door. Found loads of clad , and those pennies copper plated zinc that corrode to nothing, but found a heart shaped sterling silver piece of jewelry with 25 tiny diamonds in the "hunted out park" that went on a necklace, never could find the chain, but I looked for it a long time. A neighbor that is in a metal detecting club was amazed he didn't find it!
My Dad and Uncle once found civil war coins on a shelf in an OLD shack in the woods. It was empty, but they ran their hands over the shelf, and bingo !! They were Not gold or silver, but cool. They donated them to the local museum I guess there is so much stuff out there from past years, it shouldn't be a surprise.
This looks like the type of home that once hosted garden parties, picnics & other old fashioned social gatherings. And why there is so much dropped pocket change. Wouldn't be surprised if you find old earrings & cuff links too.
After the hole has been opened, you should consider using a firm plastic blade to avoid all of the nicks/scratches as they greatly depreciate the value of each coin.
Awesome hunt and video. I must admit though, when you grabbed that Walker out of dude's hand, I cringed. I don't take too well with people grabbing stuff from me like that. Your buddy is more restrained and cool headed than me for sure!
Yeah this one is a no for me because of that 🙄 I mean I love how they show the cleaned right after the dig.. I wish hell let his buddy celebrate his finds before he snatches it tho 😒
Down South Detecting I want a walker anything. Lol. I’ve got a seated and barber half. Just can’t seem to find a walker. Lol. You’re killing it!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@GreatOutdoorsDetecting Was wondering which state that was; nice to know. A relative of mine just moved to Iowa. As I mentioned before, California people are not very friendly for the most part, so it would be really hard to find anyone willing to let detectorists on their property for any reason.
How did you know which yard to go to? Why would there be so many coins in one yard? And how is the owner not upset that you are digging holes everywhere in their lawn?
If you don't know, detectorists ask for permission to dig before digging in peoples property, reasons to let them detect could be an interest in history, or the fact that you don't lose anything by letting them dig, because the holes can be filled like there never was any digging there.
That was one awesome day. Great content the 1937 at the beginning ! All that history in your hands. Take care of lady Liberty beautiful coins. The scratch on that one is actually a memory of that day.
You guys really find a lot of silver. And like Ray Allen said 5 months ago... how in the heck do you find anybody willing to let you dig holes all over their yards? That just seems so unlikely. But I'm glad you do, because these metal hunt well, coin hunt mostly for me, videos are some of my favorite YT videos of all!
I ask people I know, people that approach me in parks or curb strips if they chat me up about my hobby. I have not tried door knocking yet. Too scared fir me! Lol
About 8 years ago, I detected an 1870 Carson City quarter in G-12 (poor) shape then valued at $17,000. It's now up to $20,000! In perfect shape, $220,000! Nice! Very rare US coin!
Thrilling to see some of the lawful currency of the US prior to 1913. It should all have an extremely high collector value. Fun video, thanks for sharing it.
Probably an easier way to clean the dirt off in the field is to carry a condiment-sized tupperware container of water, just place the coin inside and shake the container for a few seconds. Can be re-used over and over, and you can even place a sawed-off toothbrush inside to do a more thorough scrub.
Depending on the artifact, this idea is pretty solid (coins, solid brass objects, etc). However, this would be a bad idea for delicate items such as buttons, jewelry, etc. I would recommend wearing a canteen of water to resupply the smaller spray bottles when needed. Also, recommend bringing along small pill bottles to protect delicate artifacts. Fill 1/2 way with dirt from the hole the artifact came from, then place the artifact in the bottle, then finish filling it with the moist dirt from the hole. This will ensure the artifact does not dry out during the day and crack. Remember, it survived possibly 100s of years in the rough old ground, till we humans came along a damaged them with love! Lol. Good luck and hope ya'll find a mess of stuff!
Reminds me of the dark ages of detecting...you know, back in the 80's :-) Can you imagine a time hunts like this were NORMAL? We had a truck load of fun back in the day!
I got my first Whites detector in 81 or 82 and the finds were great. Virgin untouched places begging to be searched. People gave you permission without a thought. Now you can’t go anywhere where the signs of the hunter are not everywhere.
we inherited a home built in the 1700's (new hampshire) about 20 years ago....i wish I thought about doing the detecting. inside and outside the home....(this home still had a dirt cellar)....but it was winter time and we sold the home in the spring......*dam*.
Thanks Sue! Yeah I maybe should have asked on the backyard for this one. Usually backyards don't have anything but this one could have had stuff for sure.
First of all congratulations on so many wonderful finds. I admit I am a little concerned about the way the dirt is being scattered around your digs. Was the ground too crumbly to dig neat plugs? I recommend bringing a little hand towel with you in the future to use as a dropcloth. You can dump the loose soil on the cloth and recover your target without making a mess on the homeowner's lawn. :-)
When talking with property owners, are their any agreements regarding your findings. Also what do you say to the owner when you approach them about detecting on their property. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
I have not done a lot of yards. I do the curb strips in Neighborhoods. I sometimes carry a large cent I found in a curb strip to show people walking by that ask about my hobby. One person chatted me up & said she watched MD videos from the UK & loved them. I told her the vest stuff are found in yards and she offered hers! She lived right were I was swinging. This was a few months ago. I plan on doing it again when Spring comes! Most people have never heard of a large cent. 👍😎 Unfortunately for me, she wanted the goodies. Asked me what I wanted & I said the token. I probably should have made arrangements first. Lol. I think the token was the best find, but, I would have liked to keep it all
This is so random, i love watching metal detecting videos, and this one popped up. When you panned up i recognized the houses in the background. I live in this town lol
Thanks Marcel! This was probably one of the top 5 yards I've ever seen. I don't know if anything will ever beat the dream yard though. Have you seen that video of mine?
Nice Hunt. Well done. Just got my first Indian Head Penny on Halloween. 1906. Next day, went back, found a large gold ring. 11 grams. Park hunt out here in okc. HH
Would you consider recording when asking for permissions? Even if it’s just audio would help. Some of us are a little on the shy side and might come across as awkward. Any tips would be great! Thanks

Just subscribed. You are making me wish I lived back east where history is older. In Oregon we just dont have many spots that are pre-1900. Near me, Jacksonville, OR is our best bet since it was the largest town when Oregon became a State in 1859. Edit: are you both using the same detector and coil? It would be interesting to see what two different machines would do for covering a site...
Awesome dig, but guys get some real spray bottles... those little things seem more aggravating than worth.. I understand compact items but water good for you on a dig like this.. great job once again!

What do you offer the homeowners? Do you give them first choice on the finds?
WOW what a day, the kind we all wish for. You found in one day what takes me a year to find.
Thanks Raymond! This one was just lucky. We didn't even plan on hitting that town.
What a great day you had!! Thanks for showing each coin cleaned up. It makes your finds more interesting.
I have a lot off old coins but don.t know how to go
About selling them.

That and kids were playing outside from morning until dark most summer days:)
Yea - those are the yards you want - probably never been dug up or messed with, lots of yummy coins!
Thanks Wonda!

That was my 1st thought too.
WTH DUDE...but it's all good if your GOOD buddy's ..
Ya, I cussed him in my head.

No doubt. Let the guy that dug the hole and found whatever take his findings out himself.
Wow, Zach! Just...wow! What a silver day! I am speechless! Awesome, awesome day!!!
Thanks Cynthia! Thats how I felt too!!
Super cringe tingles down the spine when you hear that dirt scraping against those marvelous coins😢
