  • This is a long video and with any video where folks explain something they inevitably leave a detail out... if I do and you get confused please just ask... I will do my best to answer.
    This video is about doing research to discover metal detecting sites that are older, ones that you can't see from the road, ones that haven't been metal detected many times over the years and having fun learning about the history in which you live. There are many things to discover in all of these techniques and this takes work. I can only show you where to access info and the techniques although it it solely up to you to put in the leg and brain work to produce awesome sites to metal detect. I typically spend the same about researching, finding owners names, tracking them down and visiting and then asking as I do metal detecting. This is something that is enjoyable if you like history and if you love finding history all in which that's mentioned in this video will help you achieve that.

    Sir, I am a Professor of Journalism from New Delhi(India). Though, I have seen many videos related to metal detecting research earlier, yours is by far the best one. Its highly informative, exhaustive and unique too.I am very impressed. I confess, I have become your fan. I will be seeing this one again and again so that all the nuances sink in my mind. Its an invaluable contribution to the metal detecting fraternity. I have subscribed it and I will be seeing all your videos to benefit from your deep knowledge of various aspects of metal detecting. Keep the good work going on!

    None of that was boring. Excellent information. I’ve never been much of a history buff, but this truly inspires me to learn the local history, and then go detect it. Thank you so much for this video.

    Top notch! You did a superb job with this video from start to finish. Concise and complete, thorough explanations, you're a natural teacher. Patient and gifted!
    I bought my first brand new metal detector, White's Spectrum XLT, in the summer of 1997. The very next day and every day after, 5 days a week, for a couple of weeks, I drove an hour one way to the Historical Archives Building in downtown Montgomery, Alabama to research places to detect. I'd get there in the morning as the doors were being unlocked, first person in and was the last to leave in the afternoon at quittin' time. Each day I'd read through a stack of quarterly historical books pertaining to the county I lived in and a few surrounding. For hours and hours each day, I hand wrote notes on looseleaf paper in a three ring binder. And each day my fingers would cramp on the drive home. After reaching an inch thick goal of those handwritten notes I'd compiled, together with a stack of select photocopied pages of microfilmed newspapers, each copy costing a quarter, I figured this would be more places to search than I could cover in a lifetime. LMAO! I had a lot to learn! And so the next day I began detecting. Took many many years to near about locate all those places, but the part I still to this day laugh about is, yeah, that list was massive but I've since then searched the grounds of fifty times that number of sites. LOL!
    Thanks so very much for teaching this old dog a new trick!!! Plenty more new places to dig! That adrenaline rush is still intense between me and my XLT!

      Thanks. I though about what to include in this video for about two weeks before making it. There are still a few items that I would like to include in which I’ve thought about after making the video so I may include that in the “asking permission techniques” video which will come in the future. Thanks for checking the video out and hope all is well. 👍🏻

    I have never thought about trying to find an old plat map online. That was such a cool thing to discover. Amazing how much land one person owned in the 1800's. I've looked at 10 or so maps going back 170+ years showing my entire side of town owned by 10 or so people, 200+ acres each, then as time passes it breaks down into a few smaller pieces, but all still huge, then smaller, and smaller into what is now a bunch of neighborhoods with each piece of land less than an acre. Amazing to see and very helpful with detecting.Thanks for turning me towards this stuff. Another cool place to look is on Newspapers.com where you can find articles from your local newspapers dating back a hundred or more years talking about where gold had been found, stolen loot from robberies, and ads about lost rings and jewelry etc. I saw an ad in our newspaper's lost and found from 1898 about a woman's diamond ring lost in a park by my house. If you're ever in Indiana hit me up, I might need your help looking for it. It says "If found call 1274." Hopefully its not disconnected. 🤞

    Hey Kenny, writing from Smyrna, Ga. Thanks for this fantastic video! Realized a couple weeks ago (ah ha moment) research was the key to good finds and have been studying the post Civil War maps commissioned by the U.S. War Department. Fascinating how accurate the maps are when compared to Google Maps today. It's actually stunning! The engineers who did that work back then did a fantastic job. Please continue to provide content that may to you seem "obvious", because what is obvious to you, isn't necessarily obvious to everyone else. Your videos are EXCELLENT. They are entertaining and delightful. Thank you so much. Your work is very much appreciated!
    On a side note... I live in a condo where, according to the old maps, confederate fortifications were built... right below my feet. Literally. And society paved right over it. For those of us who love history, it's almost heart breaking. It's ironic that laws have been established to prevent us from metal detecting and preserving history but it's OK to build new construction over historical sites. WTH? If you can use your platform to advocate for our passion, please do. Treasure hunting is part of it.. certainly. But I am into it for archeological reasons too!
    God bless you and keep going! We love what you're doing!

    Hey there SNS, I just found you on RUclips and I have binged watched all your videos. I must say, you are my new favorite Metal Detecting channel. You do a wonderful job narrating your videos. On one of your videos, I think it’s called “didn’t find much” you talked about not finding all kinds of nice stuff. That’s what makes you cool in my book. Yes, I have watched hundreds of Metal Detecting videos, where they pull out 7 coppers and gold rings in one hunt. Makes me really think if it’s real or not. Glad somebody else goes through the struggles of MDing like I do. Please keep the videos coming.

    • @squarenailsquirrel9638
      @squarenailsquirrel9638  5 лет назад

I’m not the best detecorist and i’m not a pro although I try my best just like everyone else out there... only difference is I’m filming what i’m doing and trying to entertain. Thank you for checking out my videos... seriously means a lot to have been newly discovered and liked. 👍🏻

      Thank you. I tried to include as much as I could even thought the video isn’t all that exciting. Just trying to put the info out there for people to find. Since daily I deal with researching maps and data for parcel info I was hoping to relay some info so others could do it too, especially since it’s all free and public information. That’s cool your from Ohio, I’ve only been here a short time where all but the past going on three years we’re all spent back home in Kentucky. Missing home is tough so I can relate to you missing Ohio. I teach part time at the University of Akron... the school’s up here are pretty nice and have a great selection of many topics of study.

Thanks for being so generous with the community and your subscribers. It mirrors the integrity and generosity you show in your videos.
    BTW...I bought a Nox 800 this weekend! Spent a couple hrs learning it with my dealer who is an avid user. Amazing! Was unable to compare with v3i with my dealer, but will be doing my own tests. Feel free to ask about it. Stay safe, keep warm!

    • @squarenailsquirrel9638

      Thank you very much... trying to help folks out to better the hunt for all. There has been times during my detecting hobby years that I became very discouraged from not having success out hunting. The sites I obtained were not that interesting and I really didnt find much. I doing this video helps get someone out of that rut so they can enjoy the hunt again... it makes all the efforts worth it. Some of the items take a bit to get used to and take practice. Todays world auto suggests in every move you make things are spontaneous and as simple as snapping a picture for an iphone app to figure and solve for everything. So just take yoyr time and pick the most interesting method discussed and become proficent at that.... then move to the next, etc. It’s really exciting that you obtained the 800... I will have questions for you i’m sure. I still have to wait until April to make a move on a new machine where the 800, Anfibio and Rutus Alter 71 have my interest unless whites puts out something similar to the current trend and desire of detectorist. Thank you for checking out the video and thanks for the offer to check in with you about tour experience with the new machine. 🙂

      I actually have a question for you... I checked online for Lidar data to download from something like a FTW site supplied by the state of New Jersey’s GIS department. I found that you can only stop by or mail in an external hard drive to acquire the point clouds... have you heard of any other routes to obtain the data? This is for detecting research and not work related.

    • @squarenailsquirrel9638
      @squarenailsquirrel9638  5 лет назад

      Dang!!! Thanks!!! I just want to see folks succeed and not get discouraged out trying to find places to detect. I know what it’s like to get permission after permission where every time you go ask the land owner says this “sure, you can detect. There’s been 2 people here this summer already I bet there’s nothing left”. That’s always a bummer but I still seem to find something. There are hidden gems out there but you just have to find them. There is one method I didn’t cover which has been termed “door knocking”. I don’t utilize that one since the success rate for permission tends to be low as well as disappointing. There are only so many “no’s” you can take until the detector ends up sitting in the corner for the rest of the season. I will be making a video soon on techniques for asking... the actual asking and how to conduct a successful permission acquisition. I tried to make a detecting video to out hunting but the wind, snow and mental game brought me home early without a successful hunt. Hopefully i’ll be back out next weekend to try again. Thank you for your kind comments and thanks for watching.

    • @davidparadis490
      @davidparadis490 5 лет назад

      @@squarenailsquirrel9638 a trick when door knocking is to start by acknowledging the owner must love history since they live in such a beautiful old home(assuming it's old)...we have a lot of really old homes in Massachusetts...and it takes a special person to live in a 2-300 year old home...then remember it IS their home, so after I explain what i would do, and what can be found, I tell them that I will present everything I find and the can keep any or all of it...it is theirs after all...if you are strictly into keeping items versus finding and saving them, this won't work for you...but you would be surprised how many people will let you keep most or all of what you find...I only make one special request when I do this with the homeowner, and that's if I find a tree coin, that we auction it off and split the money...while explaining to them they are extremely rare and can be worth $20-500k...thjs will get them excited

    Thanks big time sir! Kaye’s diggin it sent me over to this vid which was EXCELLENT! Here in Florida, I have a theory that nandina shrubs may indicate an old homesite (though birds like the red berries). Have you ever thought about doing a vid (or part of one) about what it was like for George Washington when he was a surveyor? 😎

      Thank you... I tried to add as many items as I could to help folks out. Since your from Kentucky, you would be going to a county clerks office to a records room which is sometimes called a vault. That’s where all the old surveys and any old maps would be stored. If your looking for owners names it would be at the PVA office. Kentucky as last flown in 2016 for state wide aerial photos that were supplied by the state to county PVA offices. So the aerials will be recent and effective in placing yourself out in the field. I do know that almost every county in Kentucky had a book made of maps broken down into precincts and they took place come 1860-1880’s. So make sure to try to find that book either online or at the library or historical society.

    Here’s another tip: When you find web pages you want to save or return to, BOOKMARK it on the browser. In fact, I would create a folder in Bookmarks BEFORE I start searching. That way, you can organize your searches. You can name your folders anyway you want. I would start with current date and than the area you’re searching. Year first! Like this. “2019/12/12 Wayne County/Ohio”. Otherwise the your files will be out of date order.
    If you want to go nuts, I would create a second folder with the exact same name to save map images that I printed etc.
