  • In this week's episode, Nichola and I had the opportunity to go metal detecting at a property built in 1705... or earlier! We both found some awesome coins and relics, but one find in particular proved to be my most INSANE recovery found metal detecting! Enjoy!

    That basement recovery is one of the wildest things I've ever seen. Only ever hunted one dirt basement and it was all punchouts for the electrical- to find one of your favorites items in the world, priceless! Hard to believe Nic has only previously found 1 Indian- did you get a date off hers- looked old? Would've hoped you scored more old coins, given the home's age, but it was a successful hunt nonetheless- nice job!
