You make very good videos. You have a gift. I hope you continue to make them. I metal detect down here in Tennessee, It's the most relaxing thing I do to get my mind off of work and the daily grind. I've found some great stuff, but it's not always about the finds for me. Sometimes just getting out in nature is enough.
Thank you. I’ll continue to make them as time and life allows. Typically during summer I don’t detect as much... more of a seasonal thing for me timed by farm fields without crops and woods not filled with mosquitoes.
Hi Kenny just subscribed to your channel Vermont Derek mentioned you in one of his videos. So I started binge watching your videos love your content and the way you show us all your nox settings. Excellent job bud keep the videos coming.
Thank you very much for your kind comments as well as subscribing to my channel. I try my best to keep it entertaining as well as educational to help the hunt for everybody. The biggest thing about this hobby a success so I promote that as much as I can. My whole goal with my videos it’s not a show me metal detecting but to take everybody with me on the hunt with each video. Thank you for tuning in to check out my videos and take care
Excellent! Love that large cent. Found the exact same Imperial Standard button at my Blacksmith Homestead permission last week! Thanks for your videos- always inspiring
I enjoy your videos very much. They re more entertaining and informative than all the other video makers including Calabash. There will always be people that will ruin a good thing, so ignore them. Looking forward to your return.
Just watched Rye grass rematch. I really have a blast watching your videos even when you don't find much. Got a couple of questions for you. #1 Sometimes you spray your finds with the spray bottle. What is in the bottle? Just plain water or water and vinegar? Also what is the largest square nail that you've found? Thanks
Something different to try... helps me out having the threshold of most probable “good” finds being a higher tone. My square nails and flat half dollar sized iron fall in that 13,14,15 range a lot with 16 being the “good” threshold. There are still great finds below 16... but moving the threshold keeps my mental game on par after fatigue sets in.
I try my best to talk about what I’m doing with my machine. I like to shift my tones every once in a while especially when I’m a little bit tired. Seems to help out with paying attention two more probable good find tones.
Thank you... 🙂👍🏻 There has been times it gets frustrating but what I have found is that taking a break every once in awhile keeps me from getting worn out making videos. Typically the summer isn’t my hunting season unless I do a hunt here or there... so I break during that period and focus on gaining permissions. Then when the ground is soft and crops are harvested... I get back out.
I got pretty wore out on this hunt... the wind was so bad towards the end that standing up and keeping balance was a challenge. Lol. I’m glad I finally got a coin at this site to fortify the date range that the home existed.
Congratulations on pulling a coin from the site 😃 and you had just mentioned that you hadn't yet 👍 finding that 1800's Large Cent made the find even sweeter!! The buttons were some great finds as well, I liked the decorative ladies button the best 🤗 Keep well and Keep on Swingin!!
Thank you... the large cents are always fun to find. It was a pleasure meeting and talking with you all... great community of folks. 👍🏻 If I get out that way I’ll check in prior and stop by.
I enjoy your channel. I found it by searching for metal detecting research and I was hooked. I also make youtube videos and adopted your style of filming with a tripod. Thanks for the videos.
My favorite was the floral button... I imagine it being attached to a ladies long sleeve dress cuff or to her fancy waist coat. And I have to agree... A muddless day is more favorable. Thank you Mr. S-n-S
I enjoy the buttons and as you described I typically envision where the button came from. I need to dig out my past finds and collect the buttons to make a display... some interesting ones have been found.
Always love seeing your next episode my friend. Unfortunately our detecting trip to upstate New York is canceled this year. It'll be the first year we've missed in 5 years 😞
That’s no fun... I’ve cancelled two travel plans so far and the rest of my year will be modified... definitely odd times. Thanks for checking out the videos and take care.
Hi, Great video , thank you for taking the time to post it. I found a 3 cent nickel the other day with the 800 using the 6" . It was dead repeating 3-4 . I was surprised that low nothing else was in the hole as far as iron. But maybe because it was slightly corroded? I just wanted to mention it when you said you blocked tones below 9. Look forward to your next videos. Thanks again for posting.
I might need to expand my target IDs and except below nine more often just to see what comes out. I typically reject those numbers because I spent so much time digging trash when I am accepting them
Square Nail Squirrel I have been hunting the same abandoned fairgrounds for 30 + years. I'm still finding things . It's amazing what's under the iron so to speak. I got a seated dime and a half dime mixed in with nails . My friend snagged a twenty cent silver amongst the iron and old square nails. I had a shield nickel read at a 6-7 at 8" , then went to a 10 once I started to get it in overered . There is a lot of junk though . You got that right. Do you use the 90 degree method to check the numbers to see if it changes
At first I thought I was watching the wrong channel. Where was the mud! I believe you have finished that location for this year. Thanks for the show...
I think this was the first non-super muddy site that I’ve been on so far this year, sometimes the mud is a little tiresome. I do believe that this might be my last time to this site unless things dry up more than they already are permission wise
I don't know if you already know this, but the square nails that you find that don't rust are like that because they have been subjected to high heat like in a house fire...
Thank you for the information Dave. I have heard that but didn’t recall it... good to refresh on that. In the past I found a complete nail like this... makes for a fun find.
Hello Kenny. It's always nice to find a Largie. I've only ever found one in my 12 years of detecting. An 1854 Braided Hair large cent. Great video. You've lived up to your channel name on this hunt, LOL. Wishing you and your family a safe one throughout this difficult time. H.H. _/
Lots of square nails... I always dig them lol. Anything under about 20 that has a scratchy instance to the target tone is most likely a square nail but I dig it any way... not always a nail.
Yes... I’ve used them. After my $24 Amazon purchase of them I soon after wore the 1 usable pencil out. I now use 0000 steel wool palm rolled on a flat surface to make essentially what the pencils are. $5 for a 10 year supply of coin cleaning assistance. I use a toothpick to help out the wool as well as tissues that have lotion. My video of cleaning crusty coppers shows the Andres pencils.
Thank you... I’ve had some hunts this year where I didn’t make videos due to not finding anything. Just a pile of trash and no sign of the home site I was looking for... definitely part of the hunt.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Like they all say....It you found something every time it wouldn't be called hunting, it would be called finding. Keep up with the videos and the details about how your machine is setup. There is a whole lot of us using the EQ and appreciate this.
Curious , what was your greatest find? The one that just rocked your world? Not so much the most valuable , but the one that just excited you the most? Just wondering. Thank You.
It is a mix, sometimes they look good and sometimes you can’t read a single thing. I’m thankful for the ones I can get dates off because it helps me with dating the site.
You take those large cents for granted. We don’t have them down here. But of course, if you look in the right place, we do have Revolutionary. I’m still looking for mine. Good hunt, and I appreciate your settings recap! ATB!
Definitely a great day... i for some reason put a lot of pressure on myself to find a lot when making video. I need to refrain from doing so. Thanks for checking out the video and take care.
Thank you for checking out what I’m doing on here and if you ever have any questions just ask because either I or somebody else will answer fairly quickly. Good luck on any metal detecting hunts that you have coming up, keep safe
Hello Kenny, just now subscribed to your channel. Very interesting videos. Thanks. What is the brand/ model of your shovel. It looks to very well designed for field use.
I am not into reinventing wheels because a shovel is pretty much just a shovel no matter how much you pay for it. If you click the videos tab and look back into my videos you will find a full description of my shovel as well as how to make it. You might have $30 invested by the time you’re done and they actually last because I put mine through the ringer for the past three years and it’s done perfectly fine.
Make sure to pin point... find center of what is responding in the 30’s. Then when not in pin point (in discriminate mode) sweep the center of the all metal pin pointed location. Make sure your not getting the 30’s signal 6-10” away from the targets location... if so... your getting big iron halo effect. If you get a 30’s ID right where the machine pin points your probability for a great find just drew an ace from the deck.
With iron bias the algorithm dealing with aggressiveness to discriminate iron is increased. Not that I love to dig rusty iron... but I do like to hear coins that are deep which have heavy corrosion levels. Heavily corroded coins and other items of interest can be disc’d out or sound of scratchy... when in actuality I want to hear them clearly.
Keep the videos coming. I especially appreciate the time you take showing and explaining your settings.I too let my V3i go in pursuit of an Equinox 800, but I do have some remorse...I miss the toggle switch and the amount of information the three screens instantly gave you before you dig. As a coin hunter the V3i was more intuitive. Any thoughts?
Just wondering , I have been told not to clean coins because it decreases the value. But I wonder how much you can clean a coin before you end up messing up.? Do you clean your coins?
You'll have days like that Ken, I had one this week also. walked a couple of miles it seemed and carried out a ton of Iron. The ground is really hard here in NW Ohio, even with all the rain we have had. I feel sorry for the farmers, hope they are able to get there Beans in, I like Beanfields, LOL (Ringfinder)
I hope you don't mind me asking a question but I'd like to know where a new to digging can get myself one of the tool bags like you have. you point me in the right direction? Please Sir.
I have a video in my videos list called “find a place to metal detect research”... take notes... the video includes all the info and strategies I utilize to find sites that produce enjoyment of the hunt.
Rewatching some of your content, Miss you hope you and your family are well.
Been watching some other live dig videos today and they made me appreciate the quality of yours. Nice work.
Miss you. I’m newly retired so I will be out detecting more. I like your review of the settings before hunt. Please come back soon.
Thankyou Kenny I really enjoyed your finds cant wait for warmer weather in Michigan then I can wear my arm out too!!!
Lol. The warm weather will be there soon. The only thing about warmer weather is the mud... lots and lots of mud. 😂
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 that mud short lived just around during the big thaw and the ensuing rain boom then gone! Happy hunting!

Glad your back my friends and I enjoy your videos very much. Take care
My favorite detecting videos, thanks and please keep em coming.
Thank you Mark... greatly appreciated.
Keep up the good work. I moved from the V3I to the Equinox 800 myself. Sure hits deep and ID's nice. Great find on the large cent!
Just watched Rye grass rematch. I really have a blast watching your videos even when you don't find much. Got a couple of questions for you. #1 Sometimes you spray your finds with the spray bottle. What is in the bottle? Just plain water or water and vinegar? Also what is the largest square nail that you've found? Thanks

8:04 I know the Square Nail Squirrel isn't complaining about square nails. LOL Good hunt
Lol. Sometimes the 20th square nail for the day is a little taxing. 😂😂
Lots of swinging for the payoff, but that's MT. Thanks for a great video. Keep them coming I'll be watching.
I got pretty wore out on this hunt... the wind was so bad towards the end that standing up and keeping balance was a challenge. Lol. I’m glad I finally got a coin at this site to fortify the date range that the home existed.
What a beautiful coin. Really like ur videos. Looking forward to the next one.
Great job!! I enjoy watching folks that use the same machine I do. Keep them coming!!
Beautiful large cent Kenny. Keep doing what you do. Love the videos.~ Aqualand Relics ~

Like the way that you show items clean up before the end.
Really enjoy your videos
You are the king of button finds. Nice find with the large cent.
Lately I have definitely been finding some very unique buttons, I greatly enjoy them.
My favorite was the floral button... I imagine it being attached to a ladies long sleeve dress cuff or to her fancy waist coat. And I have to agree... A muddless day is more favorable.
