Great finds! That civil war store coin is absolutely amazing! I have never seen one of those before. The two cent piece is awesome too. Great hunt. Stay safe and take care!
Awesome finds Squirrel! 2 cent, Indians, gilded button, rifle lock Doesn't get much better than that! I usually run in field 1 too - the high tones will come thru while getting better ID on lower tones 👍 Stay Safe ☺️
It seems like that field two is working good for you out there. Great finds today. The rifle lock piece, cool that you found both pieces. I've said this before. The coins are nice but relics are just simply amazing sometimes. Thanks for keeping us occupied. Be safe and healthy. Have a great Sunday.
I really like your ability to describe how you are setting up your equinox. I recently started using one and am needing to get a better handle on how to set it up, coming from a Garrett AT Pro background. It is an awesome machine and it is revealing just how good it can be. I just need to be more knowledgeable on how to adjust it for different areas. Thank you for your great and helpful videos. And this is coming from a guy that has been swinging coils for 40 years!
The main settings to internalize and set for each hunt are sensitivity, ground balance, what program you choose, what you are accepting and rejecting in discriminate mode, recovery speed and iron bias. The rest of the settings are user preference.
Square Nail Squirrel is there a good tutorial I can go to for me to use to learn how to set everything up? I’ve found it a little bit hard to use the guidance that came with the detector.
Thoroughly enjoyable!!! I had to split this into two sessions which I viewed during my breaks at the long term care facility where I work. A guilded button, 1863 Civil War token , old coins and some fine relics... great hunt ... I would be ecstatic if I found that in one hunt! Thanks for sharing your video.
Turned out to be a great hunt with a nice group of cool finds. I always enjoy being in the middle of the field at an old homesite like this because everything is old that you dig.
Fantastic Video...I really like it when you researched your finds and give a little history on it. Remember, there are multitudes of new hunters out here looking to learn, so always put it out there on every video if you can. You do a professional job in my book my friend. keep it up!
Sorry I’m hitting this one a little late - I’m finally getting a chance to catch up on your videos! I really appreciate that you run through all of your settings, show the numbers and tones pre-dig, and narrate your thought process so clearly - it really makes you a standout among RUclips detecting channels, and I never fail to learn something even with over a year swinging my own 800. Anyways, another awesome hunt, SNS, with a fun variety of finds! The Indian that rang up low is likely an 1859-1864 “fatty” Indian - during those years, they had a copper-nickel (88% copper, 12% nickel) composition instead of bronze like the later issues (95% copper, 5% tin/zinc), accounting for the lower VDI, and the reddish corrosion more reminiscent of a V or Shield nickel. Halfway through 1864, the mint shifted over to bronze, so most 1864 Indians ring up “normal”. One way you can check since the date isn’t readable is to compare the thickness of the coin with the later Indian you found - it should be noticeably thicker...hence the nickname “fatty”! The store card had me fooled too when you first showed it out of the ground - it sure looked like a flying eagle cent at first! Sorry you didn’t get your first Flying Eagle, but that store card is still cool in my book - and thanks to your hunt, I’ll have a better idea what one will sound like in one of my field permissions...I’m still looking for my first store card. On the plus side, you’ll know what a Flying Eagle will sound like - their composition is exactly the same as the “fatty” Indian you just found, and ring up the same (I’ve been fortunate to find a couple). That 2 cent piece is phenomenal! I’d love to get my coil over one of those - and again, thanks to your excellent video, I’ll have a better idea of what it’ll sound like. Incredible gilding left on that flat button - awesome dig! And just flat out cool that you matched and ID’d the broken pieces of the rifle side plate - an interesting and unique find! Fun and informative as always - thanks! And very nice job on Relics Radio - I really think Loy’s show is the best detecting podcast out there with excellent production and many great guests, but I honestly think that was among their best shows.
Great video 👍🏻 thanks for sharing! Excellent finds... Don’t you just love playing in the mud?! Fun stuff! I haven’t gotten to dig in almost 3 weeks, going through withdrawals. lol happy Hunting! ~ Gypsy
The mud really wears you down after a couple hours.. hardest part is keeping my camera standing up and having a clean enough finger to hit the record button. 😂🙂
Great video and finds! That spike that you dug is from what's called a 'spiked harrow' it was horse drawn to break-up clods after plowing the fields. I've found a few and have one too.
I’m going to try to clean mine up and use it for a drive Spike. I’m pretty sure that the steel that it is made from is much better than anything I could buy today. It’s cool that you have found some
Very nice finds Kenny. The 2 cent piece and of course the elusive Flying Eagle cent are on my bucket list. H.H. _/ And you and your family please stay safe.
Thank you for the work you put into your videos. I’m still learning how to use my equinox 800. I just found a 1934 dog tag. Really cool and unexpected. Your videos are a big help! Thanks again. Please come back.
So much awesome stuff! That 2 cent piece and token are awesome finds especially. I found a toasted 2 cent with my equinox last year that came in at a 17. Like you said corrosion definitely contributes to your VDI numbers. I’m going to have to try out field 2 at a few of my old spots for sure now. Awesome video! 👍🏻
I have hunted at this site quite a few times and all of a sudden all these targets show up just by changing what program I am using. I have noticed in prior hearts that switching to a two program made some targets show up that I wasn’t expecting. Hope your keeping safe... take care.
The spike thing ya found foward the end of your video is what I believe is a top to a lightning rod. Awesome hunt. I have two 2 cents and one flying eagle.
Aww so you didn't find your Flying Eagle cent 😞 drat. You found some awesome relics and coins in that field 😀 The two old IHPs and I was so happy when you pulled the 2¢ piece out of the mud ☺. The store token is still a truly great save 👍 I love and will continue to support your channel, as you are one of the tops in our community for content and information for those of us new in the metal detecting hobby 🤗 You and your family stay safe out there!!
I just dug my first ever 2 cent piece last summer and was thrilled to have finally gotten one, I agree with you that it’s a beautiful coin. Another great video with a good variety of scores ... thanks for sharing! 😎⚒👍🎧
I use a promotional golf towel (I was given in a tournament) to clean my items. It has a grommet in a corner and a bath curtain rod hanger to clip to my belt loop. Easily washable, it’s easy to clean my pinpointer and hands as well as my finds off. Try one, you’ll like it.
Your first Fine that day I believe was part of an old parasol !!! I enjoyed your hunt and especially the way you present all your fines and your trash . Fantastic job, keep the good work up !!!
Impressive that you stayed as clean as you did lol. I would have come out of the field a muddy mess. Awesome hunt and finds. You are killing it on the CW tokens. The 2 cent piece was amazing. But that side plate was so cool. The fact that you found both pieces was incredible. That IHP reading 14 really through me for a loop. I would have never guessed that's what it would be. Thanks for sharing, wishing you and yours all the best. Good luck, happy hunting and take care.
I was also thrown for a loop when I found that Indian on such a low target id. I try to stay as clean as I can when I’m out there, it’s coming back to the house and getting all cleaned up a little bit easier. I’m not sure why but for some reason I always find those Civil War tokens they come up just like Indian cents.
One thing that I have noticed when running field two is that I dig a lot more square nails. I’m not running any iron bias so maybe that contributes to it.
Lol. It totally caught me off guard that is for sure. I have my camouflage parka on and off all day out there. Wasn’t sure if they knew I was out in the field... felt very nervous all of a sudden. Lol.
Awesome two cent piece! Those are my favorite coins. I'm still waiting to find one. Maybe tomorrow I will, that's what's so cool about this hobby! Thank you so much for your time and effort recording And editing and sharing your day!!
For some reason those two cent pieces I’ve always came in a little low as well as scratchy. I tend to dig a lot of trash because I don’t mind digging the scratchy signals... scratchy signals do get to be a little taxing because mostly they are trash but sometimes they are not. 🙂
I have never used any auto ground balance because the machine is constantly ground balancing. There is a chance as the machine is ground balancing that you may be passing over something that you want to find as it balances it out during the process of balancing. When in areas where the dirt changes rapidly in metallization as well as density or even material, automatic Ground balance is a good idea. Everybody has an opinion on it and that is mine. I have always grown balanced in the beginning as well as many times during the hunt well in locked tracking.
Might be something like that... it still has me a little confused. It’s cool to think that the wood has been preserved in there for so many years encased one the brass or copper exterior.
You could still find some great items.. Try to find areas where the logging crews or fur traders frequented in your area. They were the pioneers of most of America and ventured where others were not brave enough to go. Research metal artifacts found which came from farm fields or old trails left behind by native Americans trading with the French and Spanish.. little inspiration.
I love that Cincinnati token. I'm from there and would love to have one of those. I have a ton of old German coins 1490s-late 18 early 1900s if you ever want to trade. Your videos are getting me pumped up to go out and detect, haven't gone yet this year. Just got an XP Deus last year as an upgrade and am still learning all the modes. Great video.
I’ve never traded anything or sold items that I have found. I am also from the Cincinnati area, about 45 minutes south of there but my dad side of the family is all from Cincinnati. Since you live in Cincinnati you might know about the Cincinnati mining and trade Co.... you need to find one of those coins. 👍🏻👍🏻
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 yes I would like to find one of those. Probably won't happen though as I actually live in Germany. Army sent me here 13 years ago, I retired and stayed. Stay safe over there.
Could you tell me which is the best battery I should get for my V3i that I do have to mod it and where you bought them, I might have to rewatch your older videos where you had the V3i , I don’t know if I’m getting the most out of it , I’m digging a lot of iron targets that it seems to like ,
There are many options out there to upgrade the power supply. If you saw the negative comment my buddy left there.. which is now blocked for my channel.. I fully explained in the video where I made that modification that it’s not for everybody. I also explain many other options that are available. From what I know there is a battery compartment that you can buy from eBay that is very popular which holds three lipo cell batteries. I have heard a lot of people have had great success with it. Other than what I just told you that’s all I know about it but I believe it’s very popular. If you want to discuss issues with your V3 I you can email me and we can set up a phone call and I’ll talk to you about it. I need to know more about what you are experiencing in order to help direct. Squarenailsquirrel at G mail
Square Nail Squirrel well that’s awesome for you to take the time to help me, I did watch the video about the mod and was scared off, got my dream machine and too scared to try that, I believe I have watched every single video you produced, I would say your one of 3 people I follow like that, I will rematch that battery mod one , I have never heard of Lipo cells, I saw the comment you made how not enough people where with positive comments , so I’m trying to do my part to say I appreciate the hard work in the production value you do very much, watching someone who doesn’t edit and wears a GoPro bopping around making me sea sick and then watching your videos, then you see that level just doesn’t happen with no work, I hope u keep at it till we are both old men,
I run in single frequency five occasionally but most the time I run in multi frequency. Each frequency will respond better to specific types of metal, 5 kHz being favorable of the high conductors and the and 40 being more prone to hit low conductors. This brings up something that I’ve never understood which is gold and it response more to the 40 frequency but gold is used in all kinds of electronic Connections because it is a awesome conductor, like the best out there. That’s something that I don’t understand.
Square Nail Squirrel gold that has not been processed has less iron and tin in it ... so that’s why ... I would like you to set up a program and use 10 kHz to find iron when multi cannot seem to tell you . Just a note
Your last item could be from a spike harrow, but more likely, since the one end is mushroomed, it is probably a stone chisel. I have four of them and found one near a partially cut stone.
Thank you for the identification on that and it is a very interesting find. It’s cool that you have found some as well. I was thinking since the steel is probably good quality but I might wire wheel off the rust, grind it down and then keep it around for use.
What an awesome hunt! I really enjoy watching your videos! I hope ya keep making them! Those are some awesome IHP's you found. I do have one question....where did you get your finds bag? I like the idea of that with a big belt. Is it a weightlifters belt?
The blue bag that I wear is called the squirrel pouch and I make it myself. The one that I’m wearing is version three where there is a version for that has not been finished. These bags are something I’ve been working on for probably six or seven years and there are other detectors out there making videos that wear them. There has been issues with them and they have all been resolved and I’m trying to build something that’s very usable for the hobby. Once I have them finished and I can actually make them and feel confident that a purchaser will be absolutely happy with it, I will post them on my webpage. Squarenailsquirrel.com
First of all, I'm so glad you're back! I missed you when you stopped posting. Your hunting style is so much like my own... the research, the types of places, and the sorts of finds that you value. That said, I have a comment and a question: First the question... I know what the main differences are between the "1" and the "2" programs, but do you know what the main differences are between the "Park" and the matching "Field" program is? The manual doesn't seem to explain that to my satisfaction. Next, the comment: Notice please that your button did not say "Gold Gilt". There is a reason for that. Gilt IS gold plating. Seems every detectorist on the internet insists on using the redundant term of "Gold gilt" and I scream whenever I hear it. There is no such thing as Silver Gilt or Copper Gilt... Gild (and Gilding) is a complete term for gold plating. Look it up if you doubt me. It is my mission in life to put an end to that horrible screeching redundancy. Please help a poor boy out.
From what I can tell the difference from ParkMobile to field mode is the aggressiveness to cancel out targets. I can tell that I get a lot less noise when I am detecting running in a park mode. I am afraid that when I am in Park mode and in a field that my crusty coins are going to get canceled out because the aggressiveness of the discrimination. A gilded object is also described as "gilt".
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Thanks... that sounds plausible, at least. I have come to a similar conclusion regarding the noise in Field 1, but that has led me to run in Park 1 most of the time. Never occurred to me that I might be missing things because of it.
awesome video great hunt!!! ... the guy shooting the gun at the end is my worst nightmare out metal detecting!!! I find it completely interesting the change of mode yields different results i cant remember did you go single freq or multi? on the equinox i notice that will change the results as well ... for example i like to use multi but jump to five before i dig . next time you head down to ky hit me up :)
I was using multi frequency during this hunt. I’ll definitely keep you in mind but were getting hit with travel restrictions in my area. In town here I really need to have a great excuse for driving down the road, seems like the only one I have is going to the grocery. I might be able to pull off another hunt before things get a little bit more restricted. I have two videos that I need to edit but I would like to get one more hunt and so I have three that I can put out
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 later rather then sooner :) i have my normal hunting buddies both use the nox and they have gotten into the habit of swinging multi but before they dig switching into 5khz to recheck the signal . the multi sometimes lowers vdi food for thought.
Lol. Persistence. I’m just having a good run right now. These videos I typically spend 6 to 8 hours in the field during my hunts. The probability of finding something decent is somewhat increased... and the site you hunt makes all the difference.
Square Nail Squirrel I’m hunting good sites , old farm stead’s, there is a ton of iron trash in the ground, I need more time on the machine, maybe I’m just understanding it now , I have a massive upgrade from a 1976 coin master that I got at 11 to at 46 the V3i , what a machine, it’s hard to know what to dig, what to pass,
The blue bag that I wear is called the squirrel pouch and it is of my design. This is the third version of it and there is a fourth but it is not complete. I’ve been working on this for six or seven years and I’ve also been trying to finish design and utility patents on it. I’ll be making a few and releasing them for sale hopefully this year. I will post them on my website when they come available. Squarenailsquirrel.com
That's an amazing looking 2 cent piece! 😮 Also, I've been meaning to ask, which finds pouch are you using? Thanks for the video and as always happy hunting and stay safe.
Thank you very much and this was a fun hunt. The blue bag that I wear on my side is called the squirrel pouch and it is of my design. This is the third version of it where there is a fourth although it is not completed yet. Eventually someday I will have these for sale, I can’t produce them fast so they will pop up on my website from time to time when I do start building them. Squarenailsquirrel.com
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 nice! I like the spaciousness of the pouch and how sticks to the body. I'll definitely keep an eye for that on your site. Thank you!
Might be... I hadn’t thought of that. Turns out it has a little bit of decoration on it and on his part is that the inside was would. Turns out it has a little bit of decoration on it and the oddest part is the inside is wood.
Very nice flying eagle great hunt and nice finds.
Great video Kenny!
I learn more with each of your videos. Congrats on two cent piece! Thanks for sharing and keep those videos coming!
Great finds! That civil war store coin is absolutely amazing! I have never seen one of those before. The two cent piece is awesome too. Great hunt. Stay safe and take care!
Still the best video of metal detecting around. I like how you try out the different modes. It gives me encouragement to try different modes, as well.
I always enjoy your videos!! Well done
Awesome finds Squirrel!
2 cent, Indians, gilded button, rifle lock
Doesn't get much better than that!
I usually run in field 1 too - the high tones will come thru while getting better ID on lower tones 👍
Stay Safe ☺️
Thank you for your new and again interesting video, always glad to see a new one💫☘️👍
I am very happy each time one of your videos comes out. Great job, thank you.
Your do a great job . I like the way show your finds. Keep up the good job.
It seems like that field two is working good for you out there. Great finds today. The rifle lock piece, cool that you found both pieces. I've said this before. The coins are nice but relics are just simply amazing sometimes. Thanks for keeping us occupied. Be safe and healthy. Have a great Sunday.
Wonderful finds. Thanks for sharing the fun and tips. Congrats on your bucket-lister.😀
Excellent hunt! Excellent video!
That was great. Thanks for bringing us along.
I listen to that podcast all the time. Looking forward to hearing you on there.
This time in the world you help us see the past world. Thanks
Great coins and some nice relics also. Thanks for the video.
Man I really love your videos. I like how you explain as you go on setting and vdi,s etc. keep keepin it real my friend. Looking forward to the next.
Thanks for the video, mate. Keep safe, hope there's lots more!
Great hunt and some awesome coins and relics. That 2cent piece and the Civil war token were awesome!!
Definitely a great day to be in the fields. Super video Kenny. Ty for what you do on your hunts. The education is fabulous..
Thank you for your kind words Jeff. Good luck on your next hunt.
Thank you for the good video! You are a pleasure to watch and listen to your comments!

Hopefully it yielded some pretty cool finds. 🙂

Thanks for another great video, pro status !
Great video, be carefull & stay safe
Nice hunt!! Still looking for a 2 center. Very cool token and lock plate. I'd say lightning rod for the long piece.
Tc and Happy Hunting my friend
I agree, lighting rod tip
I would love to find a Flying Eagle as well but I am sure you are still happy with the token. The Mud Pies were cooking today.!

DANG!!! Your hot playing in the mud. Great video.
Great videos as always
Another outstanding video! I've been trying out field 1 & 2 on my 600 in a couple of areas, but still figuring it out.
One thing that I have noticed when running field two is that I dig a lot more square nails. I’m not running any iron bias so maybe that contributes to it.
I enjoy your videos. Keep up work and Thank you for Sharing 😀
Thought the shots at the end was part of the music coming on haha nice hunt 👍🏻
Kevin He went back in a time tunnel and got caught in the middle of a Civil War skirmish!
Gregory Barr haha I know right
Lol. It totally caught me off guard that is for sure. I have my camouflage parka on and off all day out there. Wasn’t sure if they knew I was out in the field... felt very nervous all of a sudden. Lol.
Square Nail Squirrel need to wear some orange in those fields haha be safe man keep up the good work on the videos
Awesome two cent piece! Those are my favorite coins. I'm still waiting to find one. Maybe tomorrow I will, that's what's so cool about this hobby! Thank you so much for your time and effort recording And editing and sharing your day!!
For some reason those two cent pieces I’ve always came in a little low as well as scratchy. I tend to dig a lot of trash because I don’t mind digging the scratchy signals... scratchy signals do get to be a little taxing because mostly they are trash but sometimes they are not. 🙂
Nice video.
Why you don't use the auto tracking Ground balance?
Any reason?
I have never used any auto ground balance because the machine is constantly ground balancing. There is a chance as the machine is ground balancing that you may be passing over something that you want to find as it balances it out during the process of balancing. When in areas where the dirt changes rapidly in metallization as well as density or even material, automatic Ground balance is a good idea. Everybody has an opinion on it and that is mine. I have always grown balanced in the beginning as well as many times during the hunt well in locked tracking.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 thanks you for your reply!
I love your vidéo !
Sorry for m'y english im french!
Nice hunt. That one piece with the wood inside almost looks like a badminton handle. Or maybe some kind of riding crop.
Might be something like that... it still has me a little confused. It’s cool to think that the wood has been preserved in there for so many years encased one the brass or copper exterior.
1:37 the ring in the middle just looks like the center joint of an umbrella. This would match the find of the umbrella handle.
Werner X I think you may be right on that! The rest is gone with the wind!
I live in the north west where the oldest sites are like early 1900's. I need to go southeast sometime.
You could still find some great items.. Try to find areas where the logging crews or fur traders frequented in your area. They were the pioneers of most of America and ventured where others were not brave enough to go. Research metal artifacts found which came from farm fields or old trails left behind by native Americans trading with the French and Spanish.. little inspiration.
Amazing dig and video 😎
Thank you. 👍🏻 I hope all is well up there.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Yessir. We are in good health and managing ... Hope all is well with you and your family 😊
I love that Cincinnati token. I'm from there and would love to have one of those. I have a ton of old German coins 1490s-late 18 early 1900s if you ever want to trade. Your videos are getting me pumped up to go out and detect, haven't gone yet this year. Just got an XP Deus last year as an upgrade and am still learning all the modes. Great video.
I’ve never traded anything or sold items that I have found. I am also from the Cincinnati area, about 45 minutes south of there but my dad side of the family is all from Cincinnati. Since you live in Cincinnati you might know about the Cincinnati mining and trade Co.... you need to find one of those coins. 👍🏻👍🏻
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 yes I would like to find one of those. Probably won't happen though as I actually live in Germany. Army sent me here 13 years ago, I retired and stayed. Stay safe over there.
Could you tell me which is the best battery I should get for my V3i that I do have to mod it and where you bought them, I might have to rewatch your older videos where you had the V3i , I don’t know if I’m getting the most out of it , I’m digging a lot of iron targets that it seems to like ,
There are many options out there to upgrade the power supply. If you saw the negative comment my buddy left there.. which is now blocked for my channel.. I fully explained in the video where I made that modification that it’s not for everybody. I also explain many other options that are available. From what I know there is a battery compartment that you can buy from eBay that is very popular which holds three lipo cell batteries. I have heard a lot of people have had great success with it. Other than what I just told you that’s all I know about it but I believe it’s very popular. If you want to discuss issues with your V3 I you can email me and we can set up a phone call and I’ll talk to you about it. I need to know more about what you are experiencing in order to help direct. Squarenailsquirrel at G mail
Square Nail Squirrel well that’s awesome for you to take the time to help me, I did watch the video about the mod and was scared off, got my dream machine and too scared to try that, I believe I have watched every single video you produced, I would say your one of 3 people I follow like that, I will rematch that battery mod one , I have never heard of Lipo cells, I saw the comment you made how not enough people where with positive comments , so I’m trying to do my part to say I appreciate the hard work in the production value you do very much, watching someone who doesn’t edit and wears a GoPro bopping around making me sea sick and then watching your videos, then you see that level just doesn’t happen with no work, I hope u keep at it till we are both old men,
Awesome😁👍
Another great video. Do you keep your coins they way you find them? or do you clean them up and how?
Nice finds. Better wear a orange hat or vest on the next hunt. Lol
Lol. Might need to start carrying one with me.
Have you played with the frequencies to see different items of different types?
I run in single frequency five occasionally but most the time I run in multi frequency. Each frequency will respond better to specific types of metal, 5 kHz being favorable of the high conductors and the and 40 being more prone to hit low conductors. This brings up something that I’ve never understood which is gold and it response more to the 40 frequency but gold is used in all kinds of electronic Connections because it is a awesome conductor, like the best out there. That’s something that I don’t understand.
Square Nail Squirrel gold that has not been processed has less iron and tin in it ... so that’s why ... I would like you to set up a program and use 10 kHz to find iron when multi cannot seem to tell you . Just a note
Your last item could be from a spike harrow, but more likely, since the one end is mushroomed, it is probably a stone chisel. I have four of them and found one near a partially cut stone.
Thank you for the identification on that and it is a very interesting find. It’s cool that you have found some as well. I was thinking since the steel is probably good quality but I might wire wheel off the rust, grind it down and then keep it around for use.
Were you in the service? I have the same camo rain coat.
Nice Hunt.
What an awesome hunt! I really enjoy watching your videos! I hope ya keep making them! Those are some awesome IHP's you found. I do have one question....where did you get your finds bag? I like the idea of that with a big belt. Is it a weightlifters belt?
The blue bag that I wear is called the squirrel pouch and I make it myself. The one that I’m wearing is version three where there is a version for that has not been finished. These bags are something I’ve been working on for probably six or seven years and there are other detectors out there making videos that wear them. There has been issues with them and they have all been resolved and I’m trying to build something that’s very usable for the hobby. Once I have them finished and I can actually make them and feel confident that a purchaser will be absolutely happy with it, I will post them on my webpage. Squarenailsquirrel.com
Awesome...I'll definitely be looking for one!
Great job! Love the 2 cent piece, still on my list. What state are you hunting? Ohio or West Virginia? Take care, be safe
I’m in Ohio and Kentucky... when you see hills and trees that’s the latter as well as true home.
First of all, I'm so glad you're back! I missed you when you stopped posting. Your hunting style is so much like my own... the research, the types of places, and the sorts of finds that you value.
That said, I have a comment and a question:
First the question... I know what the main differences are between the "1" and the "2" programs, but do you know what the main differences are between the "Park" and the matching "Field" program is? The manual doesn't seem to explain that to my satisfaction.
Next, the comment: Notice please that your button did not say "Gold Gilt". There is a reason for that. Gilt IS gold plating. Seems every detectorist on the internet insists on using the redundant term of "Gold gilt" and I scream whenever I hear it. There is no such thing as Silver Gilt or Copper Gilt... Gild (and Gilding) is a complete term for gold plating. Look it up if you doubt me.
It is my mission in life to put an end to that horrible screeching redundancy. Please help a poor boy out.
From what I can tell the difference from ParkMobile to field mode is the aggressiveness to cancel out targets. I can tell that I get a lot less noise when I am detecting running in a park mode. I am afraid that when I am in Park mode and in a field that my crusty coins are going to get canceled out because the aggressiveness of the discrimination.
A gilded object is also described as "gilt".
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Thanks... that sounds plausible, at least. I have come to a similar conclusion regarding the noise in Field 1, but that has led me to run in Park 1 most of the time. Never occurred to me that I might be missing things because of it.
awesome video great hunt!!! ... the guy shooting the gun at the end is my worst nightmare out metal detecting!!! I find it completely interesting the change of mode yields different results i cant remember did you go single freq or multi? on the equinox i notice that will change the results as well ... for example i like to use multi but jump to five before i dig . next time you head down to ky hit me up :)
I was using multi frequency during this hunt. I’ll definitely keep you in mind but were getting hit with travel restrictions in my area. In town here I really need to have a great excuse for driving down the road, seems like the only one I have is going to the grocery. I might be able to pull off another hunt before things get a little bit more restricted. I have two videos that I need to edit but I would like to get one more hunt and so I have three that I can put out
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 later rather then sooner :) i have my normal hunting buddies both use the nox and they have gotten into the habit of swinging multi but before they dig switching into 5khz to recheck the signal . the multi sometimes lowers vdi food for thought.
Two-cent pieces don't turn up much. Looked in good shape for a farm field.
i noticed something round shaped it lookt like a musket bullet when you did dig up first fired bullet
How do you find so much good stuff?
Lol. Persistence. I’m just having a good run right now. These videos I typically spend 6 to 8 hours in the field during my hunts. The probability of finding something decent is somewhat increased... and the site you hunt makes all the difference.
Square Nail Squirrel I’m hunting good sites , old farm stead’s, there is a ton of iron trash in the ground, I need more time on the machine, maybe I’m just understanding it now , I have a massive upgrade from a 1976 coin master that I got at 11 to at 46 the V3i , what a machine, it’s hard to know what to dig, what to pass,
Where did you get that nice blue bag you always use. Sure looks like a nice one. Thanks.
The blue bag that I wear is called the squirrel pouch and it is of my design. This is the third version of it and there is a fourth but it is not complete. I’ve been working on this for six or seven years and I’ve also been trying to finish design and utility patents on it. I’ll be making a few and releasing them for sale hopefully this year. I will post them on my website when they come available. Squarenailsquirrel.com
Square Nail Squirrel thank you.
people should watch your videos to learn how to properly do it. great job all around.
Thank you Jeff... greatly appreciated.
14:36 Lighting rod tip
Thank you. I’ve never found one... my first. Wish I could get it straightened out again.
luv your videos sir!
Thank you... glad that you enjoy them. 👍🏻
I could be wrong but your first find looks like a grease zerk.
Dang nice I’ve order a 600 just because of this
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🇳🇴
👍🏻👍🏻
That's an amazing looking 2 cent piece! 😮 Also, I've been meaning to ask, which finds pouch are you using? Thanks for the video and as always happy hunting and stay safe.
Thank you very much and this was a fun hunt. The blue bag that I wear on my side is called the squirrel pouch and it is of my design. This is the third version of it where there is a fourth although it is not completed yet. Eventually someday I will have these for sale, I can’t produce them fast so they will pop up on my website from time to time when I do start building them. Squarenailsquirrel.com
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 nice! I like the spaciousness of the pouch and how sticks to the body. I'll definitely keep an eye for that on your site. Thank you!
It’s a lock cover
Which item?
The spoon piece
It’s great item
i would go back when i do farmer fields i bring a bucket to get rid of all the iron so the farmer doesn't get a flat tire
Handle off an old razor maybe
Might be... I hadn’t thought of that. Turns out it has a little bit of decoration on it and on his part is that the inside was would. Turns out it has a little bit of decoration on it and the oddest part is the inside is wood.
