@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Your welcome . I wish everyone would take the time to produce such entertaining videos with good content and video skills and good finds to boot . People like you are rare in this sport .it's like dog eats dog they are in it for the money and nothing more . It makes a welcome change to see well produced videos
I just read the comment below and I think this is one of the best I have watched. I would vote yours as being one of the best. Thanks. I pick up my new NOX 800 tomorrow morning at 9:00 am from UPS. I can't wait :). HH everyone
Thank you. I was so happy to dig that barber... it never gets old. Lol. Glad the video ended your day well... I hope to be back out this coming weekend.
That token is sweet, and that barber looks like it was barely circulated. That little cache you planted is cool and a great idea. Awesome finds and video Kenny.
Thanks Adam.. I was thinking I was about to wipe off a Rosey but was very surprised that Barber was there... always bring a smile to my face. The cache was just something I came up with when my wife and I went to those antique stores a couple weeks ago (insta posts on GOpinionated). I bought a slew of them so I can plant these things for a long time. I might even buy some wheat cent coin rolls to put better quality coins in there. Thanks for checking the video out and you know i’m Going to keep bugging you about you making videos too. Lol.
How fun! I’ve found large homemade tokens before that others had left too. They say things like “you’re too late” or “great find recovered here”. Some folks have way too much time on their hands...ha! Thanks for the video.
I haven't ever found anything like that.. Not sure I would want the " too late" one. LOL. Sounds like there is a lot of competition where you are located with metal detectorists. I may just stick to putting some decently cool stuff in there for someone to find.. I think it would be exciting for someone some day. Thanks for checking out the video.
Thank you. I figured it would be cool to leave some of my finds behind for future detectorists. For some reason the whole metal detecting part that I enjoy is the finding... keeping stuff is cool but I like giving it away most of the time. Sounds odd... I know. 🙂
Very glad that you enjoy the video. I always treat the yards I get permission to hunt just like they were mine and leave them looking just as they were before I was there. I have even went to the extent at t highly manicured lawn in Lexington Kentucky to have three five gallon buckets of water in my truck, with each hole when I put the plug back I got a Solo cup full of water and put it in the hole when I put the plug back. :) The land owners were very concerned I was going to mess the yard up. Thanks for commenting and for checking the video out.
Awesome video, awesome attitude. It’s not really about what’s found after all, it’s the joy of the sport and teaching others to hunt responsibly and ethically.
Thank you... I try my best with the videos to be creative so I can educated and entertain. Before I started making videos I found that there was a lot embellishing of emotions to gain attention and it kinda turned me off.. I guess the best way to say it. So.. I always make a promise to keep things very real on my channel as it would be on any hunt anyone watching would be one. There will be good hunts, bad hunts and hunts that well.... nothing every really good gets found on. It's just how it is in the hobby. Mainly I keep myself as to who I am because putting on a skit just isn't in the cards for me . I'd rather that if someone watching my videos met me on the street, they could relate to me as I am in the videos because in a way.. they already who my attitude and personality. Thanks for commenting and for checking out the video... hope your out hunting and discovering some interesting stuff.
I appreciate that, I’ve hunted Old homes, farms, parks and freshwater beaches. Like you, I get the most relics at old homes, junk jewelry and modern coins at the beaches, and a mix at the parks. It gets me out of the recliner and exercising my legs. People in our City are very curious as to what is underground in their yard.
Thank you Liz.... greatly appreciate that. I try my best with the videos to do as you do with your RUclips channel and that's bring everyone together as a community. Early on when I started making videos you gave me a shout out and gave my subscriber list a boost. The increase in subscribers what awesome to see but mainly the mental boost it gave me to push harder to get my channel up off the ground was the best part of your kind gesture. I will always respect that and be thankful. Genuinely great folks out there in this hobby and I'm glad RUclips connected me with them.
Great dime and token, thanks for taking us along. Due to health and age I can't handle the heat to detect, but I am with you on every hunt you take us along. THANKS
Thank you.. they were great finds. I always enjoy taking everyone with me on my hunts.. adds a lot of enjoyment to the time in the field. It's warming up here so I'll bare the heat for ya and keep the videos coming. :) Thanks for tuning in to check out the video.
I just wanted to thank you for posting the video on how to find old maps. found several old school houses in my area and got permission for 2 so far.... first silver I ever dug... at an 1880's school house was a 1794 cut /25% 8 reale…. im hooked. thanks again
Your welcome. I just want people to succeed on their hunts and have interesting places to to detect. It really makes a huge different having the excitement of discovery of the actual site and then finding targets in then around to tell the story about the folks who lived there. That’s totally amazing you hit that cut reale ... awesome find. I’m still waiting for the day I hit anything close to a Reale. 🙂
I like your idea of seeding the canisters for someone to perhaps find one day....Imagine someone 50 or 60 years from now (or even someone next week) discovering the mini-cache, and how excited they will be! Well done sir...
I thought it would be cool. When I saw those metal film canisters it was the first thing I thought of for some reason. I asked the clerk to see if they would 0.25 per canister instead of 0.75 each and they said ok. So... I bought all 50 of them. Lol. I’m set for awhile on film canisters. Thanks for checking out the video.
Thanks again for another great episode. Like I saw someone else say I learned something new again. I like your time capsule idea and may steal it lol. Went out today to two new spots. They obviously were never detected but were so loaded with clad and and the normal modern stuff that I was having trouble getting to the good layer lol. Came home with about $9 in clad with $6 being quarters. Wish I could remove the top 4-5 inches off both sites. The research I did shows they should be amazing spots. Thanks again and take care.
Your welcome and glad to make these videos. Just happy you and others are tuning in to watch them. 🙂 I have had sites like that and it takes work. If you have open permission to them try hunting for a bit... get tired of it and try some others... but... come back to it and keep working it. Anything from moisture levels in the ground, your mental state (like being happy, pumped up about hunting or just out to be out detecting) really effects what your pulling up. Maybe use it as a testing ground as well where you run in a low kHz frequency single mode instead of multi, set the recovery speed to 3 or 4 and sweep slower. High recovery speed lessens depth and low recovery speed requires a sloooow sweep speed and gets much deeper but separation isn’t as good. Either way... with the presence of coins the hunting pressure on that site is low and if your research says it’s a good spot... then that’s all you can ask for. I wish you luck there and I hope you rip up some awesome finds. Hopefully that quarters you were finding were late 60’s and early 70’s putting you very close to some silver 64 or older ones.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 , that's for the suggestions and encouragement on those sites. The coins were everything from recent drops to coin spills from the 70's. Old ball diamond that's now a park that is used for events. I was thinking of tackling the area of the old first base side and trying to slowly clear all the trash/clad signals to see if I can clean it up enough to get the deeper silver signals. Going to be alot of work but a great place to test what the machine is capable of. Thanks and take care.
@@dirtfishingdad_2_34 , Thanks for the suggestion. That's kind of where I'm headed with those areas. It's going to be my back up spot when I need a quick place to hunt. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Nothing can stop the 🐿️!!! What an Awesome hunt this turned out to be! That Barber dime looks so nice like it was dropped yesterday and the Civil War token was a super cool find! 😍👍 One more thing, Leaving that surprise for the next detectorist was really sweet, You are #1 in my book! 💕 Take care and talk soon! 🤗😘
Haha.. I try my best. I was worried I wouldn't have a place to go since I didn't call anyone else letting them know I would be coming that day. I just took off and drove around looking for good sites and eventually ran into the guy working in his garden. Very thankful he said I could hunt his ground. I was super surprised by the Barber dime.. was very happy with that find as well as the civil war token. When I found those film canisters at the antique store the first thing that came to mind was leaving it buried with stuff in them for future detectorists. I worked them down on price and got a ton of them so I'm set for awhile. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video and good luck with and detecting or coin roll hunting you are doing. Take care.
I tell you this often but hot damn you are killing these videos! From quality of video, to editing, to knowledge you share, superb time and time again!
Thank you Raymond. I try my best with these videos and have had to get creative at times to save the time I have to hunt by strategically planning each week. I’m getting better at all of this with each week that goes by. Again,, thank you for checking out the video and for your kind words.
Thank you Gregory... the day turned out great. I’m just thankful the land owner was out in his garden and the timing was just perfect for me to ask for permission. I really hadn’t contacted any other land owners with a prior notice as to me coming to detect. Would have ended up going home if it didn’t happen the way it did. Thanks for checking out the video 🙂
You are absolutely right about the breaking the ice in door knocking. Great job. The two holes on the copper lid was more than likely for a hinge. I've dug similar compacts.
I try to promote the door knock as much as I can. It's hard for a lot of folks and without taking that step out of the vehicle at a place you want to detect you will never know if you can or can't get on the grounds to hunt.. always worth a try. Thanks for the ID.. looked like a compact to me but when I just dug something not really cleaned up yet it's sometimes hard to tell. Thank you for checking the video out as well as commenting.
Beautiful Barber. Such a nice surprise to see her uncovered and shining. Even though you had to change plans it worked out very well! And you still have Plan A in reserve. As usual, a pleasure to come along on your hunt. Be well.
Thank you... that coin really had me excited. I like it when I’m finding Wheats and think I have a Rosie but ends up being a barber. Lots of fun opening those balls of dirt. Glad that you enjoyed the video and thank you for tuning in.
Jeff, I’ll always run through what I’m using for the day and let folks know when I make a change during hunting. All part of of the hunt and it helps both myself when I watch the video later as well as other out there to see how the machine is reacting. Glad things are helping your hunt.. good luck digging and take care.
Thank you. I was surprised so many cool finds came out of such a small piece of ground. Goes to show that you can pick about any piece of ground and find some decent or great stuff... doesn’t always need a mansion standing on the site.
Thanks David. Lol... when I watched the video a day later I noticed I got a little excited. I was very surprised it wasnt a Rosie or a Merc... just awesome to find Barbers. Thank you for tuning in got check out the video.
Thank you. I like finding anything while out detecting... made for a good time getting a few coins out of such a small areas. Thanks for the ID on the umbrella part... I can never remember those things for some reason. Lol. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Orville58... glad that you like the videos. I try to add anything I can about the hobby and portray it for what it really is. It’s not always a bucket of gold coins and colonial coppers when detecting... there is a lot to enjoy with the finds as well as everything else that goes with the hobby. Thanks for tuning in got check the video out.
It really surprised me when it came up.. once I found that harmonica reed I had a feeling there would be some cool stuff come out of that little piece of ground. Thank you for checking the video out.
That site was awesome squirrel! I'd say there was definitely a house there once. Barber dime totally awesome👍 Civil war token even more awesome lol. If only every hunt was that great. HH my friend.
Thanks Jammy. I was super surprised by the token and Barber.. after I found that harmonica reed I knew it was "game on". :) I for some reason always get pumped up about a site when I find one because the date range of available targets just increased quite a bit. Thanks for checking out the video and for commenting.. hope your our doing some hunting of your own.
I’m glad you have the drive to get out and knock. It’s tough on the first on of the day but the rest are easy after that. After the first couple seconds of initial contact with a land owner after they answer the door it all goes away. I still get nervous to this day just as much as I did when I asked my very first permission. Thanks for checking the video out and good luck gaining a new place to detect.
Fantastic video, SNS! As a relatively new detectorist who is also fairly new to the EQ800, I especially appreciate your instructional style throughout the video. Incredibly helpful that you take the time to show the entire process for each target...the numbers/tones during the sweep, pinpointing, and most importantly, your constant narration of how you interpret all of that information and relate it to the target. You truly just taught me a ton about interpreting signals with my Equinox, especially digging that Civil War era token starting at the 7:40 mark. Great demonstration of how a small, deeper coin might look and sound on the EQ series...unfortunately, I know I’ve passed on similar sounding signals on good permissions. I won’t make that mistake again! This is the first video of yours that I found, and I’m very much looking forward to watching the rest! Subscribed!
Thank you very much for your kind words. You caught me in a lull of making video due to many reasons... i’ll Be back making more soon. I’m glad that your able to improve your hunt with the info found in the videos... that’s 40% of my goal each time I go dig is to show all I can so others can get a feel for my techniques. I just want everyone to succeed at the hobby. Good luck on your hunts and if you get iffy targets just dig them... once you pop a plug the machine will get a better reading and let you know to just replace the plug or look farther at the target. Thank you for watching.
Another great video... my favorite RUclips channel hands down... I'm in Ohio too and also use the equinox 800 so it's nice to see videos with the machine running on my own soil...
Thank you Luke. It’s cool you are in Ohio and running the same setup... I hope your out digging lately because it’s gonna get pretty hot and dry out soon. The summer months when the plugs are for sure dead shuts my metal detecting down unless I can find some wooded areas to hunt. Thanks for tuning in.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 I hunt everyday if i can... with all the rain we've had we dont have no chance of dead plugs now but if that slacks off we may have trouble... i usually just cut bigger diameter plugs ... it takes longer for a big plug to die off which gives more time for a rain to show up..... we are hunting a civil war site this Saturday... hope that goes well... good luck on any new permission you get and I'll be watching for your new videos 👍
Thank you. :) I would have never though my channel would get this big but it just did. LOL. Within the past two weeks things have exponentially increased in views as well as subscribers.. I'm very thankful for that and it's been fun through the whole learning experience doing what I've been doing on here. Just glad that folks out there are enjoying the videos. I'll be headed out in about two hours to hunt a site so a new video will be up soon. Thanks for tuning in to check out the video.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 can't wait for it to come out there's something that I can't wait for that's happening in October call pound the ground Rhode Island relics is putting it on would like to see you there
Thank you 🙂 when I turned the camera off I took my finds to the neighbors house and asked them to hunt. Once I showed them what I found next door they said “knock yourself out” so i’ll Be there this coming weekend. Pretty excited. I thought it would be cool to put something back after I took some things from the site to give others something to find someday. If years go by before it’s found it would be a super cool find for someone.
Thank you Henry... greatly appreciate that. I’ll get another video out this coming weekend to be released Tuesday or so. I think there are going to be some good finds at the next one but you never know.
You sir, get am instant sub. As someone else who hunts with a Nox, I very much enjoy the style with which that you shoot your videos and how you show all the numbers, your thought process, and techniques you use. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much for joining the hunt on here and for your kind comments. I keep it real and always family friendly, entertaining and educational. I am still kinda new to the Equinox since I just switched over from a 23 year run of Whites Electronics machines about three months ago. With each time I'm in the field, talking with folks on here, Instagram and Facebook I am always learning something new and hope to share it with the community that visits my channel. Again.. thank you for checking the video out.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Absolutely! It's very helpful for me personally because I see you dig cool things on signals that I would have skipped over. Your techniques are helping me define what a "good" signal is. The way that you shoot your videos is also much better than others that I see as well, where people are just like "look at this awesome thing I found!!!1!" and then proceed to not show anything else like the numbers, the conditions, anything else. Your efforts are very much appreciated!
Great job Kenny. I really enjoy your videos. You do a good job showing the equinox set up. Please keep your videos coming because I absolutely love your shows.
Thank you Plug Popper... the capsule thing just came to mind one day while out with my wife. Figured it would be cool to put something in the ground for someone to find some day.
I thought it would be cool idea to do for future detectorists that visit the patches I'm on, If I found one someone else left I would think it's exciting so hopefully they will too. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video and take care.
Thank you. They always make me happy when I find them. I actually packaged it up and gave it to the land owner on Tuesday after I made my ending scrolling credits video of my finds. Him and his wife were so intrigued by it that I’d rather them keep it.
Love your videos. I'm pretty new to the hobby but really have learned a ton from your stuff. Thanks, and great job planting the Easter egg for some future detectorist. Really cool. Also enjoy how you break your set-up with each detector when you start as well as the research info! Thanks
Thank you and glad my the videos are helping. Just remember that if your in a different region than I your soils may be very different. Settings can be a little different due to minerals present in the soil. Type some things out that are different than what I’m doing just to see how it works but mainly... just make sure you don’t set the machine too high. Setting too high masks out good finds that are a little deeper. Good luck and any hunts you have coming up.
Thats great you found my channel and we are finding the same stuff out detecting.. :) Thanks for the ID on that target.. so cool to know the name of the manufacturer as well as time period. Thank you for checking out the video and for commenting.. truly appreciated having you tune in to watch.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video. The token was a surprise ... I wish it cleaned up a little better than it did but that’s ok... it’s been laying there for a long time. Thanks for checking the video out.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 I enjoy your videos and like that you show your set up. I was wondering what kind of camera you use for the videos if you don't mind my asking. Looking forward to see how you like the new smaller coil.
Thank you Jimmy. When I found the harmonica reed I had a feeling there was some older stuff on that site more than Wheat cents. Glad I hit that signal and decided to dig... it was a little scratchy but but way to consistent not to dig. Thanks for checking the video out.
Stumbled onto your site from watching bottle digging videos. I've been metal detecting for 30 years and used to post finds on metal detecting forums. I did a lot of editing from camcorder videos (remember those) and describe my bottle digging trips from farm field sites (before you could post videos) where I located privies and trash pits. I know the time you put in your videos are not known by many, but it really shows in your work. Fantastic outings. I have subscribed and will be following you as you post new adventures. If you want to take on a new addition to metal detecting those farm fields, try probing for the privies and trash pits. They do hold some interesting stuff. You could generate more traffic to your site too. It would take more of your time though and I know you are pressed for time on these adventures.
Tom, Thank you for tuning into my channel and checking the videos out. I do enjoy digging privy sites as well as checking out any trash pits although I haven't done it in years. I had a friend back home in Kentucky that did it a lot and I would tag along. I may try one coming up soon since a fella I met the other day said he as a large very old trash pit on the back of his farm and told me to go check it out. Once the ground dries up and things get really hot keeping me from digging in yards I will run over and do a video on it. Thank you for noticing the effort in making these video.. they get pretty taxing at time but fully worth it. I am enjoying the total experience and going to keep doing this as long as I can. Thank you for the very kind comments as well as tuning in. Take care.
Turned out to be great hunt, the Barber was a for sure surprise when I popped it out of that dirt. Haha.. yeah.. I got the silver giggles for sure on this one. Summer is going pretty good so far and things are beginning to heat up... I'm mush more of a summer person than a winter person so the heat is welcomed. About to head out here in a bit to detect a site I obtained by walking to the neighbors of the hunt in this video. I believe it's going to be a good one but you never know. Thanks for watching.
Laplander Great adventure the round item with the notches at the top of your closeout is part of a parasol {umbrella} I believe. Keep up the good work/fun.
Thank you. 🙂 that’s a great ID on that target... seems like it’s pretty old too. I wish I could keep stores in my head all the things I’ve found over the years and what they actually are. Thank you for checking the video out.
Thank you. 🙂 I thought it would be cool to start putting something back after I hunt a site. Someday.. someone will hopefully think it’s cool. Glad that you checked out the video and enjoyed it. 👍🏻
Thank you. As soon as I saw those film canisters it came to mind so I started working the seller down on price so I could get a bunch. I'm set for awhile to leave these at my sites.. just need to find some more stuff to put in them. :) Thanks for watching and subscribing.. truly thankful for that. If it wasn't for you and other folks out there subscribing I would have lost interest in making these video a long time ago. Really makes all the effort well worth it.
Square Nail Squirrel I have started watching your channel a lot here lately, you are so down to earth, and so respectful of peoples property. Never seen someone put a towel down to pug their plug on to keep the excess dirt of the lawn. I have started doing that. Do you have any tips to get permissions more, I know it’s all about presenting your self and first impressions. What do you actually say? I live in a small town, but folks seem to not like you digging around on their property, which I understand, thought maybe you could tell a few tricks. I’m not a big time hunter, I don’t have the best machine, but I do have the passion. Thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment. It’s greatly appreciated
First of all, this was a wonderful video oh, you do a great job. Secondly congratulations on that lovely little Barber , what a great find, came out of the ground beautiful. Thirdly, yes that is the lid of a makeup compact, Art Deco era, probably 1920s or 1930s. The two little holes are where the pin went to attach it to the bottom of the compact. And finally the weird round thing with the hole in the middle comes from an umbrella or parasol, that's the ring that all the spokes attached to, that you would grab and push up the handle to open the umbrella. The Civil War token is exceptional, another congratulations on that. Well done sir!
Very cool.. thank you for commenting and adding info on the ID's for the finds. I dig most targets and wonder what they are and some times never know.. it's nice that I and others can learn from folks like you helping ID these things. Seems like we are all digging them nation wide and common finds... With the wheat cents coming up I thought for sure it was a Rosey.. I was so surprised to see that Barber flash through when I wiped the dirt off. Super cool. Thanks for checking out the video.
Hi, that round lid you dug IS a compact or rouge top. We find many of them down here in Tampa Bay. Usually one of two brands: Max Factor is a popular one we find, along with LUXAR. They are rouge or makeup compacts from the 1920's and 1930's. Usually out of New York. The 2 holes on the back are where a small rectangular plate is stamped in that holds the tiny hinge for the top of the compact! Beautiful, beautiful Barber dime there-Congrats. Rob Flthunder Nox800 user.
Thanks for the ID on that lid.. very helpful. I wasn't fully sure on what it was when I found it but it was a cool find. That's so cool you identified the hinge for me.. I just wish I could find a complete one someday, I seem to only find half of them. LOL. Thanks on the Barber.. it was a surprise to find.. .I though for sure it was going to be a Rosey. Thanks for checking out the video and for commenting.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Your welcome on the ID help. Thanks so much for the great videos, I learn more about my Nox800 every time I watch one of your set ups!!! DFwR
Great hunt, congratulations ovc the barber dime. Seem to come in low on the vdi, in my area they come in at around 26-27. Thanks for sharing. Until next time GL&HH *Chris*
Thank you.. finding the Barber was pretty exciting. I have found the silver to be in and around 26-27 but depending on the site the numbers vary. I haven't figured it out yet but I bet it's due to the difference in the mineralization between sites
Thanks.. I though it would be cool to plant some stuff for future detectorists. If I found one from someone else I would find it very cool.. I just hope that whoever finds there feels the same. Thanks for checking the video out. :)
Thanks for another great video! Awesome army navy token! I love hunting sidewalk strips in old areas you can make some good finds, I actually dug a 1877 IHP in a strip just a few days ago! Glad to see ur still enjoying ur Nox n thanks for the tips n tricks for it u share. HH & GL!
Your welcome and glad you liked it. It was a surprise to find that token there.. I usually only find those in farm fields where the house has been gone since the 1800's. That's awesome you scored an Indian, those are always fun to find. I like the green they produce, it's kind of it's own. I always said it would be nice if Sherwin Williams would produce a green color for wall paint in that green.. they would sell a lot of it to detectorists. LOL
Your welcome for the tips... I try my best to share what I have experienced so it might helps everyone's hunt out. I just want to see people out there with successful hunts.
Thank you. 🙂 wow that’s an old piece of silver... I haven’t broke any older than the 1850’s with silver coin finds... only copper. I bet that was a good day when you pulled that up.
Thank you. As soon as I saw those film canisters it came to mind so I started working the seller down on price so I could get a bunch. I'm set for awhile to leave these at my sites.. just need to find some more stuff to put in them. :) Thanks for watching.
I enjoy your videos very much. You show a good example how to dig a plug and not destroy the ground. Keep making those videos I look forward to watching them. Oh don't forget i am interested in your digging pouch. thanks Anthony Valachovic
Thank you for the ID on that target Jim. I always seem to forget about those things. :) I was really surprised when I found that token.. I knew it was old due to the depth as well as how it felt in my hand.. just wasn't expecting an Army Navy token. Very happy with the find. Thank you for checking the video out.
Another pleasant video. You do a great job of going over your settings and explaining the nuances of a located target and possible nearby targets. Very relevant and useful for the viewer. I watch your videos for entertainment and to see how you get along with the units you swing. After 34 years of detecting IMHO the information you provide has me thinking detectorists of all experience levels can glean something useful from what you present. If I have a criticism it is the rubbing of the silver coins. You can break video, spray the silver with water from a small pump sprayer then show the silver. The fine striations left from a rub can kill the value of a key coin. I always carry a 2oz spritzer bottle and a container of water, like specimen jar. I also like to do a hinged plug and often can locate the object by working without fully lifting it out. Finessing with the pinpointer and my fingers on shallower targets. Please don’t take offense at my comments. I think your style and manner of presenting would make you a great mentor to new detectorists. As for the EQX800 it is a great tool and the 1730 1R cob from Mexico you see in my avitar was found with mine. The site held a pine tree schilling (step son’s find) as well as numerous coppers a 1732 pistereen and just great number of outstanding keepers. You mention farm fields, I’m at home on those too. You are a great ethical face to represent metal detecting. Good luck to ya man!
You put some great videos out I enjoy you going through the process of setting up and explaining everything you do. I only have a Whites and Garrett but will look into a equinox next time.
Thank you.. I try my best to provide any info I can to help folks out. The Whites and Garrett machines are great machines.. I ran Whites for a long time until recently when I made the switch to Minelab. This equinox is still fairly new to me so I am still learning with each hunt. The pinpointer I use is a Garrett.. I find it to be the best model I have every used in a pinpointer.. sensitivity really does the job on recovering the target fast and accurately. I'm sure you will be please with an equinox purchase but having the two machines you have I'm sure is just as awesome. Just a quick note: I still to this day have found more coins and valuable finds (gold) with a 300.00, only knobs with no display, single frequency, White's classic III than I have with any Multi frequency, expensive, metal detector. Don't feel you need to make a change if you know your detectors well.
Turned out great. I wish I was able to get to the other site but we all will get there eventually. The best part of this hunt besides the what took place in the video was what happened after.. I asked this awesome house that when walking up I said mentally "there is now way they will say yes" and once I asked... she said sure... knock yourself out. That was awesome and we will also be there eventually, most likely this coming weekend if it's not raining.
Thats cool you have and Eqinox as well.. it's turned out to be such a great move for me switching to Minlab.. enjoying the experience a lot. Thank you for subscribing as well as checking out the video. :)
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. I’ll be making more videos soon... I need a little more time to wrap up some responsibilities before getting back in the saddle.
Thank you.. I was worried when my planned site didn't work out.. very thankful the land owner I met gave me permission to hunt his ground. For such a small area there sure were some good finds. Thanks for checking the video out.
Honestly, I don't know how many more ways to say you make the most awesome videos. On this one I liked that you explained the settings on the NOX as you went through them. I believe you or someone said that each depth bar = apx. 2". Do you find that the depth reading is accurate?
The depth gauge "BARS" are calibrated off of coin sized targets, Yes, I find it accurate on coins and targets that are within the size, mass and surface area similar to a coin. If it's a soda can a foot down reading a couple inches deep... that's always been an issue with any detector I have ever used. Thanks for checking out the video and thank you for the kind words.. .greatly appreciated.
Thanks Jason. I truly appreciate your kind words and it drives me to keep making these videos. If what I’m doing helps as well as entertains that makes every effort worth it for me. I’m glad that you join in to check out the videos.
Thanks Mike and glad you liked it. The hobby is a lot of fun but it takes time to get up to speed mainly due to learning the machine and it’s responses. Folks call it “dirt fishing” relaxing and you catch stuff but I wouldn’t recommend eating anything. 🙂
Great.. glad that I can put info out there that folks can use in their hunt. Most detectors when doing a "Probe" or "Grab" or "Ground Reading" or just plain 'Balance" (
I thought it would be a good idea to put them in after I leave just to give someone a surprise someday. I would for sure think it's cool. I ordered last night 2 pounds of wheat cents off of Amazon to start putting in the capsules when I am done with a site.
Enjoy your vids a lot, such a good Detecting channel, mellow attitude which is great, informative, great stuff. Watching previous vids now and noticed your garret carrot was faulting, never use cheap batteries always use the energizer they last forever,, it’s the cheap batteries the carrot hates, trust me I know this lol.. now back to binge watching the rest 😉 TC HH Mac
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video. Yes.. I had some really old batteries in the both units at that point and since then haven't had any issues. I for some reason always forget to freshen the pinpointers batteries up. Seriously thank you for the kind words and I do greatly appreciate them.. thank you for checking my channel out.
Just found your channel and love the videos. I have a nox600 myself and your setup helps me get familiar with it. You must live somewhere near me because I recognized the town at the end. I live near Apple Creek
Very cool your running the equinox series as well.. Yes.. you are very close since I'm here in Wooster. I have done a few videos down in your area in the past at the Edinburg academy and east of town. I am actually in Apple Creek or through it 3-5 times a week out land surveying. Thanks for tuning into the channel and checking out the video.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 That's funny, I had no idea about the academy and I've lived within 5 minutes of Apple Creek all my life. I had to go and look for those videos and the funny thing is last fall I worked a few days at the historical society and noticed that house and thought it looks like a good place to metal detect sometime.
Nice video very well shot and quality filming from you sir. I love detecting whether its on land or in the water so subscribed to you channel to see more. Keep the videos flowing Good luck on your next hunt.
Thank you, I try my best with the videos. I haven't really done much with water hunting besides up to about my waist.. it looks like a lot of fun with a lot to discover. Thanks for the good luck wishes and same to you.. I hope you get some great finds on any hunts you may have coming up. Thanks for the subscription as well as checking out the video.
Thank you for the congrats.. As soon as I saw those film canisters in the antique store it came to mind to leave a capsule of find... I then started working the seller down on price so I could get a bunch. :) Thanks for checking out the video.
Great video, I appreciate the time you take to set up all of the shots ... different camera angles, live digs, etc. I know it’s time consuming but your end product is awesome.I think yours is my new favorite channel. Beautiful Barber, I just dug a 1911 on Sunday that looked like a fresh drop too ... and love that old token. 😎 GB&HH!
Thank you. I try my best to cover off on anything that's happening while I'm detecting. Seeing things a little closer to see what I'm seeing as well as folks watching being able to relate to the site is important to me. The time involved isn't too bad since I've got a pattern down and have got used to all the intricacies and settings of the things I use to film. Thank you for your kind words and I'm glad that you enjoy what I'm doing on here. That's awesome you hit a Barber.. they don't come often for me so it's always a delight to find one. Nice that your barber was is great condition too.. the detail on those coins are great especially the back with all the detail. Good luck with any hunts you have coming up and thank you for checking the video out.
Love the time capsule idea. Also, maybe add your RUclips name and the Date you buried it on a small note, so the finder can watch history in the making. LOL HH GL
I thought it would be cool to leave them behind. I was thinking about putting that info in there eventually.. for now its just stuff.. LOL. few wheats and thingy type stuff. Thanks for checking the video out and good luck on any hunts you have coming up.
Thank you for the ID on that target... greatly appreciated. I’ve found them before but for some reason I never commit them to memory. I was just thinking a thread all part of something like that. Being a Umbrella part makes it a more personal find.. very cool.
yes, true it definitely paints a picture in the mind.. for me it’s a well dressed woman,,i remember wondering what they were when i first found them.. much like corset clasps
You ain't kidding.. I really enjoy finding them. I went on a hunt with two friends a couple weeks ago and should have made a video since I found a Barber quarter and a half pence 1862 Canadian coin while hunting. Kinda took a break from the filming and just enjoyed the hunt with friends.. I would have like to have shown them though. Thanks for checking out the video.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 I'll keep watching as you hunt these sites , I've got to ask are you a perfectionist like me . Cause I really like when you lay down the cloth to put the clod down and not all over the ground , that's respect and I give you thumbs up for that .
Just incase you didnt know ,your video is being judged for the worlds best metal detectorists competition .I enjoyed your video .
Thank you for the opportunity to be involved with the competition. :) Very happy to be involved in the hobby sharing the hunt.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Your welcome . I wish everyone would take the time to produce such entertaining videos with good content and video skills and good finds to boot . People like you are rare in this sport .it's like dog eats dog they are in it for the money and nothing more . It makes a welcome change to see well produced videos
I just read the comment below and I think this is one of the best I have watched. I would vote yours as being one of the best.
Thanks. I pick up my new NOX 800 tomorrow morning at 9:00 am from UPS. I can't wait :).
HH everyone
Pretty good hunt; a beautiful Barber Dime 👍
Great video to end my day.
Thank you. I was so happy to dig that barber... it never gets old. Lol. Glad the video ended your day well... I hope to be back out this coming weekend.
That token is sweet, and that barber looks like it was barely circulated. That little cache you planted is cool and a great idea. Awesome finds and video Kenny.
Thanks Adam.. I was thinking I was about to wipe off a Rosey but was very surprised that Barber was there... always bring a smile to my face. The cache was just something I came up with when my wife and I went to those antique stores a couple weeks ago (insta posts on GOpinionated). I bought a slew of them so I can plant these things for a long time. I might even buy some wheat cent coin rolls to put better quality coins in there. Thanks for checking the video out and you know i’m Going to keep bugging you about you making videos too. Lol.
How fun! I’ve found large homemade tokens before that others had left too. They say things like “you’re too late” or “great find recovered here”. Some folks have way too much time on their hands...ha! Thanks for the video.
I haven't ever found anything like that.. Not sure I would want the " too late" one. LOL. Sounds like there is a lot of competition where you are located with metal detectorists. I may just stick to putting some decently cool stuff in there for someone to find.. I think it would be exciting for someone some day. Thanks for checking out the video.
A time capsule,that’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen anyone do on a metal detecting video!Double thumbs up to you sir!
Thank you. I figured it would be cool to leave some of my finds behind for future detectorists. For some reason the whole metal detecting part that I enjoy is the finding... keeping stuff is cool but I like giving it away most of the time. Sounds odd... I know. 🙂
Love the finds
Thanks for sharing the hunt.
Thanks... i was surprised with what came up. Just a little strip with really nothing there. Had a good time. 👍🏻 Thank you for checking the video out.
Love watching your videos, you are so neat & respectful the way you work with your dirt cloth, taking care of people’s property!,
Very glad that you enjoy the video. I always treat the yards I get permission to hunt just like they were mine and leave them looking just as they were before I was there. I have even went to the extent at t highly manicured lawn in Lexington Kentucky to have three five gallon buckets of water in my truck, with each hole when I put the plug back I got a Solo cup full of water and put it in the hole when I put the plug back. :) The land owners were very concerned I was going to mess the yard up. Thanks for commenting and for checking the video out.
Awesome video, awesome attitude. It’s not really about what’s found after all, it’s the joy of the sport and teaching others to hunt responsibly and ethically.
Thank you... I try my best with the videos to be creative so I can educated and entertain. Before I started making videos I found that there was a lot embellishing of emotions to gain attention and it kinda turned me off.. I guess the best way to say it. So.. I always make a promise to keep things very real on my channel as it would be on any hunt anyone watching would be one. There will be good hunts, bad hunts and hunts that well.... nothing every really good gets found on. It's just how it is in the hobby. Mainly I keep myself as to who I am because putting on a skit just isn't in the cards for me . I'd rather that if someone watching my videos met me on the street, they could relate to me as I am in the videos because in a way.. they already who my attitude and personality. Thanks for commenting and for checking out the video... hope your out hunting and discovering some interesting stuff.
I appreciate that, I’ve hunted Old homes, farms, parks and freshwater beaches. Like you, I get the most relics at old homes, junk jewelry and modern coins at the beaches, and a mix at the parks. It gets me out of the recliner and exercising my legs. People in our City are very curious as to what is underground in their yard.
Seriously one of the BEST channels out there !!!
Thank you Liz.... greatly appreciate that. I try my best with the videos to do as you do with your RUclips channel and that's bring everyone together as a community. Early on when I started making videos you gave me a shout out and gave my subscriber list a boost. The increase in subscribers what awesome to see but mainly the mental boost it gave me to push harder to get my channel up off the ground was the best part of your kind gesture. I will always respect that and be thankful. Genuinely great folks out there in this hobby and I'm glad RUclips connected me with them.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Thank you for your very kind words :)
Liz, I agree, my man Dalton alerted me to this page. I learn SO much about my Nox800 here!
Great dime and token, thanks for taking us along. Due to health and age I can't handle the heat to detect, but I am with you on every hunt you take us along. THANKS
Thank you.. they were great finds. I always enjoy taking everyone with me on my hunts.. adds a lot of enjoyment to the time in the field. It's warming up here so I'll bare the heat for ya and keep the videos coming. :) Thanks for tuning in to check out the video.
I just wanted to thank you for posting the video on how to find old maps. found several old school houses in my area and got permission for 2 so far.... first silver I ever dug... at an 1880's school house was a 1794 cut /25% 8 reale…. im hooked. thanks again
Your welcome. I just want people to succeed on their hunts and have interesting places to to detect. It really makes a huge different having the excitement of discovery of the actual site and then finding targets in then around to tell the story about the folks who lived there. That’s totally amazing you hit that cut reale ... awesome find. I’m still waiting for the day I hit anything close to a Reale. 🙂
I like your idea of seeding the canisters for someone to perhaps find one day....Imagine someone 50 or 60 years from now (or even someone next week) discovering the mini-cache, and how excited they will be!
Well done sir...
I thought it would be cool. When I saw those metal film canisters it was the first thing I thought of for some reason. I asked the clerk to see if they would 0.25 per canister instead of 0.75 each and they said ok. So... I bought all 50 of them. Lol. I’m set for awhile on film canisters. Thanks for checking out the video.
Definitely some age to this property. Congratulations on such a great hunt.
Thanks again for another great episode. Like I saw someone else say I learned something new again. I like your time capsule idea and may steal it lol. Went out today to two new spots. They obviously were never detected but were so loaded with clad and and the normal modern stuff that I was having trouble getting to the good layer lol. Came home with about $9 in clad with $6 being quarters. Wish I could remove the top 4-5 inches off both sites. The research I did shows they should be amazing spots. Thanks again and take care.
Clayton County History Hound Keep swinging in that area if you are convinced! Removing a layer (or two) reveals the good stuff sometimes.👍🏻
Your welcome and glad to make these videos. Just happy you and others are tuning in to watch them. 🙂
I have had sites like that and it takes work. If you have open permission to them try hunting for a bit... get tired of it and try some others... but... come back to it and keep working it. Anything from moisture levels in the ground, your mental state (like being happy, pumped up about hunting or just out to be out detecting) really effects what your pulling up. Maybe use it as a testing ground as well where you run in a low kHz frequency single mode instead of multi, set the recovery speed to 3 or 4 and sweep slower. High recovery speed lessens depth and low recovery speed requires a sloooow sweep speed and gets much deeper but separation isn’t as good. Either way... with the presence of coins the hunting pressure on that site is low and if your research says it’s a good spot... then that’s all you can ask for. I wish you luck there and I hope you rip up some awesome finds. Hopefully that quarters you were finding were late 60’s and early 70’s putting you very close to some silver 64 or older ones.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 , that's for the suggestions and encouragement on those sites. The coins were everything from recent drops to coin spills from the 70's. Old ball diamond that's now a park that is used for events. I was thinking of tackling the area of the old first base side and trying to slowly clear all the trash/clad signals to see if I can clean it up enough to get the deeper silver signals. Going to be alot of work but a great place to test what the machine is capable of. Thanks and take care.
@@dirtfishingdad_2_34 , Thanks for the suggestion. That's kind of where I'm headed with those areas. It's going to be my back up spot when I need a quick place to hunt. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Nothing can stop the 🐿️!!! What an Awesome hunt this turned out to be! That Barber dime looks so nice like it was dropped yesterday and the Civil War token was a super cool find! 😍👍 One more thing, Leaving that surprise for the next detectorist was really sweet, You are #1 in my book! 💕 Take care and talk soon! 🤗😘
Haha.. I try my best. I was worried I wouldn't have a place to go since I didn't call anyone else letting them know I would be coming that day. I just took off and drove around looking for good sites and eventually ran into the guy working in his garden. Very thankful he said I could hunt his ground. I was super surprised by the Barber dime.. was very happy with that find as well as the civil war token. When I found those film canisters at the antique store the first thing that came to mind was leaving it buried with stuff in them for future detectorists. I worked them down on price and got a ton of them so I'm set for awhile. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video and good luck with and detecting or coin roll hunting you are doing. Take care.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Thank you! 🤗😘
Just watched this vid.. My wife spotted the toy car.. Got her collection out and SHE HAS THE SAME CAR lol. Gr8 vid !
I tell you this often but hot damn you are killing these videos! From quality of video, to editing, to knowledge you share, superb time and time again!
Thank you Raymond. I try my best with these videos and have had to get creative at times to save the time I have to hunt by strategically planning each week. I’m getting better at all of this with each week that goes by. Again,, thank you for checking out the video and for your kind words.
Another good one sir. Keep making them and we will keep watching. Sweet Barber!!👊🏻
Thanks digger dan...glad that you check these videos out and enjoy them. I was very happy with the barber find... always brings a big smile.
Another very great video! It is sometimes the most unlikely places that offer up good finds. Thanks for posting your video.
Thank you Gregory... the day turned out great. I’m just thankful the land owner was out in his garden and the timing was just perfect for me to ask for permission. I really hadn’t contacted any other land owners with a prior notice as to me coming to detect. Would have ended up going home if it didn’t happen the way it did. Thanks for checking out the video 🙂
You are absolutely right about the breaking the ice in door knocking. Great job. The two holes on the copper lid was more than likely for a hinge. I've dug similar compacts.
I try to promote the door knock as much as I can. It's hard for a lot of folks and without taking that step out of the vehicle at a place you want to detect you will never know if you can or can't get on the grounds to hunt.. always worth a try. Thanks for the ID.. looked like a compact to me but when I just dug something not really cleaned up yet it's sometimes hard to tell. Thank you for checking the video out as well as commenting.
Beautiful Barber. Such a nice surprise to see her uncovered and shining. Even though you had to change plans it worked out very well! And you still have Plan A in reserve. As usual, a pleasure to come along on your hunt. Be well.
Thank you... that coin really had me excited. I like it when I’m finding Wheats and think I have a Rosie but ends up being a barber. Lots of fun opening those balls of dirt. Glad that you enjoyed the video and thank you for tuning in.
please keep walking through your startup procedure with your videos. very helpful and quality narration.
Jeff, I’ll always run through what I’m using for the day and let folks know when I make a change during hunting. All part of of the hunt and it helps both myself when I watch the video later as well as other out there to see how the machine is reacting. Glad things are helping your hunt.. good luck digging and take care.
Awesome hunt! Congrats on the wheats, awesome old civil war token, and sweeeet barber!!!!!
Thank you. I was surprised so many cool finds came out of such a small piece of ground. Goes to show that you can pick about any piece of ground and find some decent or great stuff... doesn’t always need a mansion standing on the site.
The excitement in your voice on the barber dime was great ! Cool civil war coin too ! Another great video !
Very well done !!
Thanks David. Lol... when I watched the video a day later I noticed I got a little excited. I was very surprised it wasnt a Rosie or a Merc... just awesome to find Barbers. Thank you for tuning in got check out the video.
Great finds,nice dime and token! The round /slotted piece is a parasol slide part.
Thank you. I like finding anything while out detecting... made for a good time getting a few coins out of such a small areas. Thanks for the ID on the umbrella part... I can never remember those things for some reason. Lol. Thanks for watching.
Great finds you showed me a few new things about the nox thanks!
That’s great Rico... I hope it helps out on your hunts. Good luck out there and happy hunting. 🙂
I really enjoy your videos thanks for sharing your hunts and knowledge of the hobby till next time
Thanks Orville58... glad that you like the videos. I try to add anything I can about the hobby and portray it for what it really is. It’s not always a bucket of gold coins and colonial coppers when detecting... there is a lot to enjoy with the finds as well as everything else that goes with the hobby. Thanks for tuning in got check the video out.
That civil war token is awesome. Great find.
It really surprised me when it came up.. once I found that harmonica reed I had a feeling there would be some cool stuff come out of that little piece of ground. Thank you for checking the video out.
That site was awesome squirrel! I'd say there was definitely a house there once. Barber dime totally awesome👍 Civil war token even more awesome lol. If only every hunt was that great. HH my friend.
Thanks Jammy. I was super surprised by the token and Barber.. after I found that harmonica reed I knew it was "game on". :) I for some reason always get pumped up about a site when I find one because the date range of available targets just increased quite a bit. Thanks for checking out the video and for commenting.. hope your our doing some hunting of your own.
You inspire me to knock on doors! I've told you before but, I really enjoy how you explain everything you are doing to help the view understand.
I’m glad you have the drive to get out and knock. It’s tough on the first on of the day but the rest are easy after that. After the first couple seconds of initial contact with a land owner after they answer the door it all goes away. I still get nervous to this day just as much as I did when I asked my very first permission. Thanks for checking the video out and good luck gaining a new place to detect.
Fantastic video, SNS! As a relatively new detectorist who is also fairly new to the EQ800, I especially appreciate your instructional style throughout the video. Incredibly helpful that you take the time to show the entire process for each target...the numbers/tones during the sweep, pinpointing, and most importantly, your constant narration of how you interpret all of that information and relate it to the target. You truly just taught me a ton about interpreting signals with my Equinox, especially digging that Civil War era token starting at the 7:40 mark. Great demonstration of how a small, deeper coin might look and sound on the EQ series...unfortunately, I know I’ve passed on similar sounding signals on good permissions. I won’t make that mistake again!
This is the first video of yours that I found, and I’m very much looking forward to watching the rest! Subscribed!
Thank you very much for your kind words. You caught me in a lull of making video due to many reasons... i’ll Be back making more soon. I’m glad that your able to improve your hunt with the info found in the videos... that’s 40% of my goal each time I go dig is to show all I can so others can get a feel for my techniques. I just want everyone to succeed at the hobby. Good luck on your hunts and if you get iffy targets just dig them... once you pop a plug the machine will get a better reading and let you know to just replace the plug or look farther at the target. Thank you for watching.
Another great video... my favorite RUclips channel hands down... I'm in Ohio too and also use the equinox 800 so it's nice to see videos with the machine running on my own soil...
Thank you Luke. It’s cool you are in Ohio and running the same setup... I hope your out digging lately because it’s gonna get pretty hot and dry out soon. The summer months when the plugs are for sure dead shuts my metal detecting down unless I can find some wooded areas to hunt. Thanks for tuning in.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 I hunt everyday if i can... with all the rain we've had we dont have no chance of dead plugs now but if that slacks off we may have trouble... i usually just cut bigger diameter plugs ... it takes longer for a big plug to die off which gives more time for a rain to show up..... we are hunting a civil war site this Saturday... hope that goes well... good luck on any new permission you get and I'll be watching for your new videos 👍
Awesome congratulations on hitting 3000 subscribers your videos are great keep up the hard work
Thank you. :) I would have never though my channel would get this big but it just did. LOL. Within the past two weeks things have exponentially increased in views as well as subscribers.. I'm very thankful for that and it's been fun through the whole learning experience doing what I've been doing on here. Just glad that folks out there are enjoying the videos. I'll be headed out in about two hours to hunt a site so a new video will be up soon. Thanks for tuning in to check out the video.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 can't wait for it to come out there's something that I can't wait for that's happening in October call pound the ground Rhode Island relics is putting it on would like to see you there
Awesome hunt!! Hope you scored a few more permissions! And that little time capsule idea is awesome!!
Thank you 🙂 when I turned the camera off I took my finds to the neighbors house and asked them to hunt. Once I showed them what I found next door they said “knock yourself out” so i’ll Be there this coming weekend. Pretty excited. I thought it would be cool to put something back after I took some things from the site to give others something to find someday. If years go by before it’s found it would be a super cool find for someone.
Awesome hunt. Nice barber. It's on my bucket list.
Thank you.. just keep swinging and someday one will show up. Took me a long time before I got one. Good luck and I hope you find one soon.
I agree with Luke, great video and my favorite channel as well, I really look forward to your videos so keep them coming, thanks.
Thank you Henry... greatly appreciate that. I’ll get another video out this coming weekend to be released Tuesday or so. I think there are going to be some good finds at the next one but you never know.
Nice hunt great looking Barber dime.
Thank you Craig... the Barber was a very welcome’d find. Always makes me smile finding some silver... especially older silver.
You sir, get am instant sub. As someone else who hunts with a Nox, I very much enjoy the style with which that you shoot your videos and how you show all the numbers, your thought process, and techniques you use. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much for joining the hunt on here and for your kind comments. I keep it real and always family friendly, entertaining and educational. I am still kinda new to the Equinox since I just switched over from a 23 year run of Whites Electronics machines about three months ago. With each time I'm in the field, talking with folks on here, Instagram and Facebook I am always learning something new and hope to share it with the community that visits my channel. Again.. thank you for checking the video out.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Absolutely! It's very helpful for me personally because I see you dig cool things on signals that I would have skipped over. Your techniques are helping me define what a "good" signal is. The way that you shoot your videos is also much better than others that I see as well, where people are just like "look at this awesome thing I found!!!1!" and then proceed to not show anything else like the numbers, the conditions, anything else.
Your efforts are very much appreciated!
Great job Kenny. I really enjoy your videos. You do a good job showing the equinox set up. Please keep your videos coming because I absolutely love your shows.
Very nice hunt and video. I love the time capsule idea. Great job
Thank you Plug Popper... the capsule thing just came to mind one day while out with my wife. Figured it would be cool to put something in the ground for someone to find some day.
Thats awesome that you leave goodies for other people to find.. Awesome, God bless brother.
I thought it would be cool idea to do for future detectorists that visit the patches I'm on, If I found one someone else left I would think it's exciting so hopefully they will too. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video and take care.
Excellent Barber!
Thank you. They always make me happy when I find them. I actually packaged it up and gave it to the land owner on Tuesday after I made my ending scrolling credits video of my finds. Him and his wife were so intrigued by it that I’d rather them keep it.
Love your videos. I'm pretty new to the hobby but really have learned a ton from your stuff. Thanks, and great job planting the Easter egg for some future detectorist. Really cool. Also enjoy how you break your set-up with each detector when you start as well as the research info! Thanks
Thank you and glad my the videos are helping. Just remember that if your in a different region than I your soils may be very different. Settings can be a little different due to minerals present in the soil. Type some things out that are different than what I’m doing just to see how it works but mainly... just make sure you don’t set the machine too high. Setting too high masks out good finds that are a little deeper. Good luck and any hunts you have coming up.
Just discovered your videos and subscribed...my husband found an identical makeup compact...its made by Richard Hudnut circa 1930's....so cool!
Thats great you found my channel and we are finding the same stuff out detecting.. :) Thanks for the ID on that target.. so cool to know the name of the manufacturer as well as time period. Thank you for checking out the video and for commenting.. truly appreciated having you tune in to watch.
Great barber find. Excellent video!
Thank you, it really surprised me and made for an awesome hunt. Thank you for checking the video out. :)
Enjoyed your video. Love the civil war token. That is great!
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video. The token was a surprise ... I wish it cleaned up a little better than it did but that’s ok... it’s been laying there for a long time. Thanks for checking the video out.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 I enjoy your videos and like that you show your set up. I was wondering what kind of camera you use for the videos if you don't mind my asking. Looking forward to see how you like the new smaller coil.
Fantastic video. I liked the Civil War token.
Thank you Jimmy. When I found the harmonica reed I had a feeling there was some older stuff on that site more than Wheat cents. Glad I hit that signal and decided to dig... it was a little scratchy but but way to consistent not to dig. Thanks for checking the video out.
Great great hunt
Thank you Charles. 👍🏻 I’ll be back out this weekend at the neighbors house. Hope to get another good hunt in.
Great hunt
Thank you Lee... I was surprised with the Barber find... always a good time finding one.
Stumbled onto your site from watching bottle digging videos. I've been metal detecting for 30 years and used to post finds on metal detecting forums. I did a lot of editing from camcorder videos (remember those) and describe my bottle digging trips from farm field sites (before you could post videos) where I located privies and trash pits. I know the time you put in your videos are not known by many, but it really shows in your work. Fantastic outings. I have subscribed and will be following you as you post new adventures. If you want to take on a new addition to metal detecting those farm fields, try probing for the privies and trash pits. They do hold some interesting stuff. You could generate more traffic to your site too. It would take more of your time though and I know you are pressed for time on these adventures.
Tom,
Thank you for tuning into my channel and checking the videos out. I do enjoy digging privy sites as well as checking out any trash pits although I haven't done it in years. I had a friend back home in Kentucky that did it a lot and I would tag along. I may try one coming up soon since a fella I met the other day said he as a large very old trash pit on the back of his farm and told me to go check it out. Once the ground dries up and things get really hot keeping me from digging in yards I will run over and do a video on it. Thank you for noticing the effort in making these video.. they get pretty taxing at time but fully worth it. I am enjoying the total experience and going to keep doing this as long as I can. Thank you for the very kind comments as well as tuning in. Take care.
Cool finds. Thanks for sharing
Turned out to be a great spot.. nice mix of cool old finds. Its a pleasure to share and thank you for tuning in to check the video out.
Great hunt, love the barber dime. I get the silver giggles too when I find some. I hope you're having a great summer so far? Keep swinging. 🙂👍
Turned out to be great hunt, the Barber was a for sure surprise when I popped it out of that dirt. Haha.. yeah.. I got the silver giggles for sure on this one. Summer is going pretty good so far and things are beginning to heat up... I'm mush more of a summer person than a winter person so the heat is welcomed. About to head out here in a bit to detect a site I obtained by walking to the neighbors of the hunt in this video. I believe it's going to be a good one but you never know. Thanks for watching.
Very well done video.
Thank you, greatly appreciated. Thank your for tuning in to check the video out.
Well done ... very nice video.
Thank you.. glad that you joined in to check it out. :)

Great adventure the round item with the notches at the top of your closeout is part of a parasol {umbrella} I believe. Keep up the good work/fun.
Thank you. 🙂 that’s a great ID on that target... seems like it’s pretty old too. I wish I could keep stores in my head all the things I’ve found over the years and what they actually are. Thank you for checking the video out.
Great video! That time capsule is a great idea. I may use that someday. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and hunt.
Thank you. 🙂 I thought it would be cool to start putting something back after I hunt a site. Someday.. someone will hopefully think it’s cool. Glad that you checked out the video and enjoyed it. 👍🏻
Great video! Wish I could go too 👍🏻
👍👋 another great video it’s true you go over details about tones and important facts about the machine that really help thanks and great finds!!!!
Awesome videos. I've learned so much from you since I just got my Equinox 800.
That’s awesome that you put that little capsule for someone else to find. Just subscribed. Awesome video
Thank you. As soon as I saw those film canisters it came to mind so I started working the seller down on price so I could get a bunch. I'm set for awhile to leave these at my sites.. just need to find some more stuff to put in them. :) Thanks for watching and subscribing.. truly thankful for that. If it wasn't for you and other folks out there subscribing I would have lost interest in making these video a long time ago. Really makes all the effort well worth it.
Square Nail Squirrel I have started watching your channel a lot here lately, you are so down to earth, and so respectful of peoples property. Never seen someone put a towel down to pug their plug on to keep the excess dirt of the lawn. I have started doing that. Do you have any tips to get permissions more, I know it’s all about presenting your self and first impressions. What do you actually say? I live in a small town, but folks seem to not like you digging around on their property, which I understand, thought maybe you could tell a few tricks. I’m not a big time hunter, I don’t have the best machine, but I do have the passion. Thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment. It’s greatly appreciated
First of all, this was a wonderful video oh, you do a great job. Secondly congratulations on that lovely little Barber , what a great find, came out of the ground beautiful. Thirdly, yes that is the lid of a makeup compact, Art Deco era, probably 1920s or 1930s. The two little holes are where the pin went to attach it to the bottom of the compact. And finally the weird round thing with the hole in the middle comes from an umbrella or parasol, that's the ring that all the spokes attached to, that you would grab and push up the handle to open the umbrella.
The Civil War token is exceptional, another congratulations on that. Well done sir!
Very cool.. thank you for commenting and adding info on the ID's for the finds. I dig most targets and wonder what they are and some times never know.. it's nice that I and others can learn from folks like you helping ID these things. Seems like we are all digging them nation wide and common finds... With the wheat cents coming up I thought for sure it was a Rosey.. I was so surprised to see that Barber flash through when I wiped the dirt off. Super cool. Thanks for checking out the video.
Hi, that round lid you dug IS a compact or rouge top. We find many of them down here in Tampa Bay. Usually one of two brands: Max Factor is a popular one we find, along with LUXAR. They are rouge or makeup compacts from the 1920's and 1930's. Usually out of New York. The 2 holes on the back are where a small rectangular plate is stamped in that holds the tiny hinge for the top of the compact!
Beautiful, beautiful Barber dime there-Congrats.

Thanks for the ID on that lid.. very helpful. I wasn't fully sure on what it was when I found it but it was a cool find. That's so cool you identified the hinge for me.. I just wish I could find a complete one someday, I seem to only find half of them. LOL. Thanks on the Barber.. it was a surprise to find.. .I though for sure it was going to be a Rosey. Thanks for checking out the video and for commenting.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Your welcome on the ID help. Thanks so much for the great videos, I learn more about my Nox800 every time I watch one of your set ups!!!

Great hunt, congratulations ovc the barber dime. Seem to come in low on the vdi, in my area they come in at around 26-27. Thanks for sharing. Until next time GL&HH *Chris*
Thank you.. finding the Barber was pretty exciting. I have found the silver to be in and around 26-27 but depending on the site the numbers vary. I haven't figured it out yet but I bet it's due to the difference in the mineralization between sites
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 I completely agree will you.
Very well produced video. Nice Barber!
Good stuff!!
Thank you... very glad that you enjoyed the video.
Hope all is well...would love to see more of your videos popping up as I enjoyed them.

Well done squirrel!
Great idea on planting some coins!! I think I’ll try that the next time I’m out!! Great video.
Thanks.. I though it would be cool to plant some stuff for future detectorists. If I found one from someone else I would find it very cool.. I just hope that whoever finds there feels the same. Thanks for checking the video out. :)
Really would like to see you start detecting again enjoyed ur older video’s
Great video
Thank you Shaggy. Hows that Anfibio doing lately.. any good finds?
Thanks for another great video! Awesome army navy token! I love hunting sidewalk strips in old areas you can make some good finds, I actually dug a 1877 IHP in a strip just a few days ago! Glad to see ur still enjoying ur Nox n thanks for the tips n tricks for it u share. HH & GL!
His Nox tips help out this new NOX user quite a bit!!! Nice curb strip finds. My best is a Merc dime on a curb strip!

Your welcome and glad you liked it. It was a surprise to find that token there.. I usually only find those in farm fields where the house has been gone since the 1800's. That's awesome you scored an Indian, those are always fun to find. I like the green they produce, it's kind of it's own. I always said it would be nice if Sherwin Williams would produce a green color for wall paint in that green.. they would sell a lot of it to detectorists. LOL
Your welcome for the tips... I try my best to share what I have experienced so it might helps everyone's hunt out. I just want to see people out there with successful hunts.
@@flthunderdigginwrob3162 Glad to know what I'm adding in the videos is helping out.. hopefully you get some great finds on any upcoming hunts. :)
Nice silver coin ;) And the token is pretty cool too ! The oldest silver coin I found for now is from 1824 ;)
Thank you. 🙂 wow that’s an old piece of silver... I haven’t broke any older than the 1850’s with silver coin finds... only copper. I bet that was a good day when you pulled that up.
Great video! love the time capsule for someone else to find great idea!
Thank you. As soon as I saw those film canisters it came to mind so I started working the seller down on price so I could get a bunch. I'm set for awhile to leave these at my sites.. just need to find some more stuff to put in them. :) Thanks for watching.
I enjoy your videos very much. You show a good example how to dig a plug and not destroy the ground. Keep making those videos I look forward to watching them. Oh don't forget i am interested in your digging pouch. thanks Anthony Valachovic
Nice vid. Hope you have great luck hunting
Thank you. I’ll be back out this coming weekend to the neighbors house. It looks like a great site and I promise to use your good luck wishes there. 🙂
ring was a parasol/umbrella slide. Nice token!
Thank you for the ID on that target Jim. I always seem to forget about those things. :) I was really surprised when I found that token.. I knew it was old due to the depth as well as how it felt in my hand.. just wasn't expecting an Army Navy token. Very happy with the find. Thank you for checking the video out.
Another pleasant video. You do a great job of going over your settings and explaining the nuances of a located target and possible nearby targets. Very relevant and useful for the viewer. I watch your videos for entertainment and to see how you get along with the units you swing. After 34 years of detecting IMHO the information you provide has me thinking detectorists of all experience levels can glean something useful from what you present. If I have a criticism it is the rubbing of the silver coins. You can break video, spray the silver with water from a small pump sprayer then show the silver. The fine striations left from a rub can kill the value of a key coin. I always carry a 2oz spritzer bottle and a container of water, like specimen jar. I also like to do a hinged plug and often can locate the object by working without fully lifting it out. Finessing with the pinpointer and my fingers on shallower targets. Please don’t take offense at my comments. I think your style and manner of presenting would make you a great mentor to new detectorists. As for the EQX800 it is a great tool and the 1730 1R cob from Mexico you see in my avitar was found with mine. The site held a pine tree schilling (step son’s find) as well as numerous coppers a 1732 pistereen and just great number of outstanding keepers. You mention farm fields, I’m at home on those too. You are a great ethical face to represent metal detecting. Good luck to ya man!
You put some great videos out I enjoy you going through the process of setting up and explaining everything you do. I only have a Whites and Garrett but will look into a equinox next time.
Thank you.. I try my best to provide any info I can to help folks out. The Whites and Garrett machines are great machines.. I ran Whites for a long time until recently when I made the switch to Minelab. This equinox is still fairly new to me so I am still learning with each hunt. The pinpointer I use is a Garrett.. I find it to be the best model I have every used in a pinpointer.. sensitivity really does the job on recovering the target fast and accurately. I'm sure you will be please with an equinox purchase but having the two machines you have I'm sure is just as awesome. Just a quick note: I still to this day have found more coins and valuable finds (gold) with a 300.00, only knobs with no display, single frequency, White's classic III than I have with any Multi frequency, expensive, metal detector. Don't feel you need to make a change if you know your detectors well.
Nice little doorknock quicky hunt
Turned out great. I wish I was able to get to the other site but we all will get there eventually. The best part of this hunt besides the what took place in the video was what happened after.. I asked this awesome house that when walking up I said mentally "there is now way they will say yes" and once I asked... she said sure... knock yourself out. That was awesome and we will also be there eventually, most likely this coming weekend if it's not raining.
Cant wait to watch.love your videos
Just subscribed and love your finds with the Equinox. I own one myself. Cheers!
Thats cool you have and Eqinox as well.. it's turned out to be such a great move for me switching to Minlab.. enjoying the experience a lot. Thank you for subscribing as well as checking out the video. :)
At 11:21 that is part of a parasol slide.
Nice video. Found while looking for nox 800 vids. Very informative and educational on machine use.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. I’ll be making more videos soon... I need a little more time to wrap up some responsibilities before getting back in the saddle.
Good video , congrats on finding a location on a short notice that turned out well
Thank you.. I was worried when my planned site didn't work out.. very thankful the land owner I met gave me permission to hunt his ground. For such a small area there sure were some good finds. Thanks for checking the video out.
Honestly, I don't know how many more ways to say you make the most awesome videos. On this one I liked that you explained the settings on the NOX as you went through them. I believe you or someone said that each depth bar = apx. 2". Do you find that the depth reading is accurate?
The depth gauge "BARS" are calibrated off of coin sized targets, Yes, I find it accurate on coins and targets that are within the size, mass and surface area similar to a coin. If it's a soda can a foot down reading a couple inches deep... that's always been an issue with any detector I have ever used. Thanks for checking out the video and thank you for the kind words.. .greatly appreciated.
@Finders-Keepers The modulation is a great tool for identifying depth.
@Finders-Keepers Thank you.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Thanks Kenny, good to know.
Thanks Jason. I truly appreciate your kind words and it drives me to keep making these videos. If what I’m doing helps as well as entertains that makes every effort worth it for me. I’m glad that you join in to check out the videos.
Awesome video Take Care
Very cool video. I think I would like to do something like this. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Mike and glad you liked it. The hobby is a lot of fun but it takes time to get up to speed mainly due to learning the machine and it’s responses. Folks call it “dirt fishing” relaxing and you catch stuff but I wouldn’t recommend eating anything. 🙂
Everytime I learn something new. The noise cancel #'s no one has talked about them before.
Great.. glad that I can put info out there that folks can use in their hunt. Most detectors when doing a "Probe" or "Grab" or "Ground Reading" or just plain 'Balance" (
Planting some finds on-site is cool!
I thought it would be a good idea to put them in after I leave just to give someone a surprise someday. I would for sure think it's cool. I ordered last night 2 pounds of wheat cents off of Amazon to start putting in the capsules when I am done with a site.
Enjoy your vids a lot, such a good Detecting channel, mellow attitude which is great, informative, great stuff. Watching previous vids now and noticed your garret carrot was faulting, never use cheap batteries always use the energizer they last forever,, it’s the cheap batteries the carrot hates, trust me I know this lol..
now back to binge watching the rest 😉

Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video. Yes.. I had some really old batteries in the both units at that point and since then haven't had any issues. I for some reason always forget to freshen the pinpointers batteries up. Seriously thank you for the kind words and I do greatly appreciate them.. thank you for checking my channel out.
Just found your channel and love the videos.
I have a nox600 myself and your setup helps me get familiar with it.
You must live somewhere near me because I recognized the town at the end.
I live near Apple Creek
Very cool your running the equinox series as well.. Yes.. you are very close since I'm here in Wooster. I have done a few videos down in your area in the past at the Edinburg academy and east of town. I am actually in Apple Creek or through it 3-5 times a week out land surveying. Thanks for tuning into the channel and checking out the video.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 That's funny, I had no idea about the academy and I've lived within 5 minutes of Apple Creek all my life.
I had to go and look for those videos and the funny thing is last fall I worked a few days at the historical society and noticed that house and thought it looks like a good place to metal detect sometime.
Nice video very well shot and quality filming from you sir. I love detecting whether its on land or in the water so subscribed to you channel to see more. Keep the videos flowing Good luck on your next hunt.
Thank you, I try my best with the videos. I haven't really done much with water hunting besides up to about my waist.. it looks like a lot of fun with a lot to discover. Thanks for the good luck wishes and same to you.. I hope you get some great finds on any hunts you may have coming up. Thanks for the subscription as well as checking out the video.
Congrats on your finds and good idea on leaving something for someone else to find. 👍
Thank you for the congrats.. As soon as I saw those film canisters in the antique store it came to mind to leave a capsule of find... I then started working the seller down on price so I could get a bunch. :) Thanks for checking out the video.
Great video, I appreciate the time you take to set up all of the shots ... different camera angles, live digs, etc. I know it’s time consuming but your end product is awesome.I think yours is my new favorite channel. Beautiful Barber, I just dug a 1911 on Sunday that looked like a fresh drop too ... and love that old token. 😎 GB&HH!
Thank you. I try my best to cover off on anything that's happening while I'm detecting. Seeing things a little closer to see what I'm seeing as well as folks watching being able to relate to the site is important to me. The time involved isn't too bad since I've got a pattern down and have got used to all the intricacies and settings of the things I use to film. Thank you for your kind words and I'm glad that you enjoy what I'm doing on here. That's awesome you hit a Barber.. they don't come often for me so it's always a delight to find one. Nice that your barber was is great condition too.. the detail on those coins are great especially the back with all the detail. Good luck with any hunts you have coming up and thank you for checking the video out.
Love the time capsule idea. Also, maybe add your RUclips name and the Date you buried it on a small note, so the finder can watch history in the making. LOL HH GL
I thought it would be cool to leave them behind. I was thinking about putting that info in there eventually.. for now its just stuff.. LOL. few wheats and thingy type stuff. Thanks for checking the video out and good luck on any hunts you have coming up.
at 11;30 looked like umbrella slide part, probably late 1800s
Yep. Dug a few parasol slides. Exactly what that was.
Thank you for the ID on that target... greatly appreciated. I’ve found them before but for some reason I never commit them to memory. I was just thinking a thread all part of something like that. Being a Umbrella part makes it a more personal find.. very cool.
yes, true it definitely paints a picture in the mind.. for me it’s a well dressed woman,,i remember wondering what they were when i first found them.. much like corset clasps
Always a good day when you find a barber coin. Congrats
You ain't kidding.. I really enjoy finding them. I went on a hunt with two friends a couple weeks ago and should have made a video since I found a Barber quarter and a half pence 1862 Canadian coin while hunting. Kinda took a break from the filming and just enjoyed the hunt with friends.. I would have like to have shown them though. Thanks for checking out the video.
Neat ideal with the time capsule
Thanks William... I bought a ton of them so I can plant quite a few as we continue hunting these town sites. Thanks for tuning in. 👍🏻
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 I'll keep watching as you hunt these sites , I've got to ask are you a perfectionist like me . Cause I really like when you lay down the cloth to put the clod down and not all over the ground , that's respect and I give you thumbs up for that .
Nice video
Thank you Will, glad you tuned in to check it out.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
