Metal Detecting America Detecting Old Homesites

[Strawberry7Lynn]

Interesting but a bit long winded. You should have finished the clip by displaying the cleaned up items

[WolFCoven777]

Thanks for the video. The large cent is a pretty good find.

[wasabi167]

@WolFCoven777 Thanks for the comment.

Large cents are few and far in between.

Even thought they are not worth much it is really fun finding them, because some people never find them.

I have only found two in my 24 years of hunting.

[rubylaser163]

be carefull around the old home places there are hand dug wells on them and old folks sometimes used boards to cover them and in time they rot and when u step on they will fall through....be safe....god bless ...george

[heavymetalnut]

well what year was the large cent? a coronet possibly? 1840's?

[Manongjojo]

That square shaped nail was a common type of nail used in the mid 1800's.

[micmoable]

Hey, fellows---what was that you was using--looked like a F75 fisher-----which detector does the best of yours or your buddy's Cortez?

[RecoveringRelics]

Nice large cent!!!!!!

[flash178]

1:51, candle snuffer. missing handle.

[micmoable]

@flash178 Could very well be--but looked like amost of the bells I've found with handle missing---regular handheld bells like I used to ring at the schoolhouse for end of recess----or folks used to ring at bible school, etc. for the kids to come back inside

[Coinguy56]

Nice finds!

[popshin24]

great video!

[420wheatbread]

I think it's a sheep bell

[micmoable]

@420wheatbread Looks like a handheld bell with the handle broke off or rusted away----sheep and cowbells are shaped kinda flat---not round as this one is---of course some may have had this type---but typical ones are kinda box-shaped instead of round

[moleman1961]

Don`t you worry about bears and stuff while your detecting in the woods? I know its winter on this vid but what about the summer months?

[wasabi167]

There are no bears where we live.

So no worries, but thanks for the concern.

[schancac]

@moleman1961

You must be some kind of Pussy. Bears???? Have you ever been out of the city? Also, for every bear that kills a human, 180 domestic dogs kill a human so I think dogs would be more of a concern. Crawl out of your hole, Moleman.

[moleman1961]

@schancac Ok! Keep your pants on! HA! I live in the uk so we do not have bears or anything dangerous! Why so hostile? Calm down!

[schancac]

@moleman1961

Sorry Moleman, I was just being sarcastic and didn't know you were frome the UK. I like you Brits. I've been laughing to myself ever since you responded. Didn't mean to sound so harsh. Apologies.

[moleman1961]

@schancac Its all good! I don`t like the idea of being where wild bears are! They hurt! It just bothers me when I see people out in the wilderness, seemingly, without protection! I`m sure bears are not everywhere in the US but this vid looks like where a bear would live! Don`t worry! No offence taken! Cheers!

[Twistidd]

Haven't seen this video in a while, good to see it again! We've got to get out again this year on a hunt! Good luck.

[wasabi167]

Sounds good, we have a club hunt coming up this next Sunday, you are more than welcome to come and join us. I should have gone out this weekend, but was busy doing the dreaded TAXES. Give PM me and I will give you my cell phone and we can get out some time soon.

[bam62bam]

i know where that spot is-used to drink beer with my buddies out there back in the 60's

[wasabi167]

Yep that's the one.

LOL.

[rboos]

Hey that square nail indicates it is a good place for relics, doesn't it... nice vid!

[wasabi167]

Yes it would indicate that there was life there and possibly some sort of house, building or a good place to hunt for relics. My buddy went back later and found a seated dime.

[royalfuzziness]

You are not in Westchester are you.

[wasabi167]

No I am not.

[semperfi554]

was this deep in a forest preserve or just some plain old random woods?

[wasabi167]

Deep in forest preserve

[crunch7077]

Nice hunt & finds

[crazychasinator]

tight

[featheredprop]

Fun video ... what's a "hot rock?"

[wasabi167]

A hot rock is a rock that makes your detector go off. I am not sure what is in it, but must be mineralized or have some type of metal traces in it that make your detector sound off.

[egkg75]

What state is this?

[wasabi167]

Illinois, USA

[lightpoacher]

pls can any one recomend me a good detecter

to get me started.thank you.

[wasabi167]

If you have a limited budget I would go with an ACE 250, very good starter machine. If it is unlimited I would go with a either a Minelab,Fisher,Whites or Tesoro. Just depends on how serious and what it is you are going after. I would be happy to talk to you offline if you send me a private message with your phone number.

Rob

[Armymanis]

Nice finds! Thats looks like a pretty good location!

[cursedyou1110]

u talk to much, rofl.

[wasabi167]

Thank you.

[DaleJr88Amped]

i cant wait till i have enough for a good detector

right now i have saved a little over $3 ^_^

but i just got to wait.

nice find mich

[hunthicks]

After watching this, I can't wait till spring! :-) Great videos, make some more!! :D

[wasabi167]

I can't wait till spring either. As soon as the weather breaks I will be out filming some more locations and showing you the treasures we find.

Thanks.

Rob

[wasabi167]

Me too, I am counting the days. It is already started to warm up little bit, but the fround is still a little to frozen for me to dig. I will definately be making more when permitting.

Thanks!

Rob

[PLrYbKaPL]

how much does a good detector like that cost?

[wasabi167]

Around $950 or less if you shop at the online auction link to the top right where it says about this video. You can usually find some good bargains on there.

Thanks!

Rob

[trailrider43]

nicely done video

[wasabi167]

Thank you trailrider.

There will be more in the near future, just as soon as the ground thaws. I don't believe in getting a jackhammer to chisel away at frozen treasure below the ground.

[southernnystate]

Quality video if I do say so myself. Really like how it was narrated as you filmed your partner digging, nice shots on the scenery too. Just keep it up and I look forward to more from you in the future.

[wasabi167]

Southern,

Thanks for the comment. Hopefully as I progress in the video portion and in our research the videos should only get better.

I will be upgrading to a digital recorder possibly with a lapel mic in the near future.

Thanks again!

Rob

[ethen24]

I go out in the winter also, if the snow isn't too deep, or if it isn't too cold. And in the summer I go hunting day or night...

[wasabi167]

Right now my filming is on hold because it is too cold. We had -8 degree weather a few nights ago and 17 degrees today with more snow on the ground. Just waiting for another warm front to move thru.

[motherlode3]

Nice Video.

[wasabi167]

Thank you, there will be more on the way.

[thunter1127]

Great vid , how old was the that coin?

[wasabi167]

1846 Large Cent.

[dude420here]

Hell Ya guys Congrats on your awesome finds.Love the bell alot too.Thanks for sharing

[wasabi167]

Thanks Dude,

I forgot to mention the bell in the credits.

I also found an old iron axe head.

[ncnikonguy]

Great video man, love the large cent, I'd be camping there and hitting every inch--HH

[wasabi167]

Thanks for the comment Nikon.

We have marked the spot on our GPS and most definately will return at a later date. The spot where the 1846 Large Cent was found was not known to Mitch or myself. There was no indication that anything was there except for the finds we located.

We had fun and will return again. The winter is really the only time to hunt the locations because of the plant growth during spring and summer.

Thanks!

Rob
