[mikekhinkle]

That was really exciting great finds.Do you keep your finds or do you cash them in.I enjoy your videos.

[AmericanCoinHunting]

@mikekhinkle ..I keep the silver (To hand down to my grandchildren)& spend the clad.

[alexsdad82]

That has to be an old cache. That was a lot of loot for the 1920's

[kyyaniga]

why the hell u rubing someone elses coin

[brctom1]

Impressive finds !

How do you determine what woods to search ?

There must be some kid of history behind the place you chose.... Correct ?

I am new to the hobby, and would like a few pointers if you are willing to share..?

[DistractionCascade]

coins use to be works of art, now what do we have, state quarters and zinclohns :(

[mrdjfeltimo]

WOW,,,, you guys hammered it,,,

BIG CONGRATS

[CorgiDoom1881]

How mad did Tracy actually get?

[IamNobodysHW]

I am still trying to get my first metal detector, I have land that was once indian burial ground and near the underground railroad and I have been here over 30 yrs. Without a metal detector I have found old bottles, 2 morgan's and lots of indian head pennies. Just by doing regular yard work, digging up old bushes and planting new ones. I do not have a lot to spend and wonder if you can please tell me the cheapest way to go to find things. TY

[AmericanCoinHunting]

@IamNobodysHW ....Ace 250 all the way up to Minelab Xterra303...YOu Chose....Good Luck, Dave....If you need help hunting your ground...Maybe me & Greag can make a field trip !

[NeoShade69]

Awesome!



[xIIxRUExIIx]

The only way ill ever find a barber is when i need my hair cut. lol He's old as those coins but he's hardly made of silver. lol

[xIIxRUExIIx]

Dead mans pocket maybe? lolol

[InspireImages]

Amazing condition! Wow, what a day! I am grabbing my Minelab now and heading out. Thanks for the Motivation!

[rollofnickles]

WOW this was so entertaining, you guys are HOT

[TreasureFiend]

Man you both had a MEGA hunt - AWESOME!!!!!!

[SuperSnoopy36]

Well that was most inspiring! I'm going out hunting now!

[vilekyle22]

Kicking ASS! Nice find. Is it just me or do most people want to smack you? LOL Nice Hunting

[SuperMac1970]

Great job, the best off luck in finding some more coins.

[ttrompeter11]

The coins are in nice shape.

[AmericanCoinHunting]

@ttrompeter11 ....Thank You, My buddy Greg found most of them.

[Oaklandraiders126]

What you guys do with the coins you find?

[AmericanCoinHunting]

@Oaklandraiders126 ....We save & keep them..We don't sell

[IndianaDigger1]

That's. Just. Amazing. Great job, guys!

[bingobongo445]

Bring some extra batteries with you!

[LostRingFinders]

Congratulations to you both, that was an amazing silver coin recovery!

[ASPIRE7777]

Feels good don't it. LOL.  Happy New Year my friend and many more finds like this one in the vid.

[FutureLaugh]

somebody explain to me why precious coins are thrown about in the middle of a forest?

[tlfettled]

awesome dig great video , given me the old coin huntint fever again !

[Danielcoinsandmore]

thats cool all the old homes in my town has all been redone by the city. i have more chace tectinto find more stuff at the beach then the homes. Im now trying find good underwater metal detector

[drutter]

Cool! Money from the ground. Maybe somebody in the 1920s tried to bury some coins out there for later? Hard to imagine spilling several ounces of silver out of your pocket and not noticing.

[36chevydump]

That is Great !!!!

[GregoryD57]

a m a z i n g !!!!!!!!!!!

[BrushCountryJamboree]

dang it guys leave something for tracy to find, you'll are lucky having all that soft dirt, here in texas the dirt is still like concrete

[henshooten]

[DirtyDeedsDigger]

[susan462]

very nice thanks for sharing!.

[uberw00t123]

how do you guys pick a cite to start hunting??? what led you to a site like this?

[AmericanCoinHunting]

@uberw00t123 ..I talked about this way early in the comments...Eight sites were chose & researched...This is the forth...Total luck...Old looking public area cross referened on Goggle earth...Two more site to go in 2012..

[fishercz20]

Wow that was really cool. Now get a better camera.

[AmericanCoinHunting]

@fishercz20 ...LOL...I did...I got a zx-5...But I hate the fact I have to go to settings to switch to Macro & back...It's got to be better than that battery eating zi6 !

[dbeard772000]

Unreal!  What used to be where you are hunting?

[Ringo853]

Wow!! Congratulations! Which camera is that please?

[AmericanCoinHunting]

@Ringo853 ...I shot that video with the Kodak Zi6...Man that thing was acting up & eating batteries...I only use that camera for extreeme close ups..It's semi retired after that hunt...L.O.L.

[MrMrtiki]

Geez what a score -probably some guy thru a saddle over a horse and his bags spilled over --or someone fell down drunk -why would`nt they picked them up in that era either not knowing or drunk might be a fight to eh -thanks for showing me this nice finds -what do you think a nice 25- S silver dollar is worth I found one .

[elucidative]

Right on man! cool

[richardarichter123]

[thirdphaseofmoon]

Cool thanks for sharing!

[camochannel1]

[Gatlun]

Amazing digs!!! I would be getting rid of the camera though...too expensive! Either that, or I would be rigging an external battery pack with longer lasting bateries.

[JRCrowley]

GREAT detecting. Thanks for sharing!

[wasabi167]

Woo Hoo!!! Nice silvers. Very similar to my finds. I know the feeling of hauling out silvers, silvers, and more silvers. Great hunt!!!

[jmwnycprr]

[Vezmerize]

Poor Tracy.

[sid3258]

What state are you guys in?

[DigginAmerica]

Jesus Christ Dave ! .....

That was one incredible hunt !

BILL .

[AmericanCoinHunting]

@DigginAmerica ......Thanks for watching & the kind comment Bill .

[bingobongo445]

Wow you hit the jackpot!

[Chokokk]

What fun is there to go and dig up coins only 100-150 years old? It's something fun to dig here in Denmark where you can dig anything between 10-2000 years old coins up.

[OWN3DH34D5H0TZ]

how much was your metal detector?

[ottawadigs]

very nice score

happy hunting!

[noobathis]

Damn, nice finds, but in here Europe i find hammered coins and stuff thats 500 years old. But its a great hobby everywhere :)

[Jockguy2008]

If only these coins could talk, the stories they could tell. How lonely they were until you made friends with them :)

[DetectiveLoquendo1]

EN TOTAL ¿CUANTAS MONEDAS TIENES JUNTADAS HASTA AHORA?

[swinginsouthjersey]

Had to Rewatch this just to hear Greg say "it's got friends"

on the walkers the mintmark is between the left side of the log that the eagles standing on & the rim

I can't tell if the 1920 has one or if it's a clean spot, have Greg recheck it.

that was an incredible hunt

Congrats again

HH

[NACwasabi]

that is absolutely amazing. My best silver is a 1945D war nickel and you're out there finding barbers and walking liberties?!?!?!?! Are you in the midwest?

[kayleealways]

Just awesome. You close to Mississippi. Id love to hunt with ya some day. HH. Great videos.

[Ampifier1994]

Wow what a great place you found!!

[Numismaster9000]

hey dave can you answer a question for me, can you check the back of that 1917 standing liberty quarter and see if its a type one because if it is it could be worth a lot for a readable date! to be exact if its a type 1 it would go for 60 bucks and if its a type 2 it would go for 55 in VG-8 which is what that seems to be. Great Finds though...ironically no dimes haha

[latetraincomingfast]

Best hunt ever.....for old silver! I just finished the vid....last post was before it was over....post more finds from that spot....gotta be more!

[latetraincomingfast]

Pure coolness there!

[lilimig116]

LOL 6:39

[dapappacn]

Does Greg have YT channel?..please pm me if so..ty

[horseman528]

I've only found one barber dime and I that was in the last 15-20 yrs. But to find that many in one day? Thats unbelieveable. Congratulations.

[coinbeginner1334]

4:57 That walker must've been a popular coin to have all those friends.

[phlyghts]

Great video!!!!

[madsonicboating]

wow!! fantastic detecting guys well done!

[Ardenwolfe]

Man, all I ever find in the deep woods is chiggers and bullet casings.

[jbadal1]

I wonder if they might be coins from a dead body that the clothing had worn away ?

[Juka101]

Just simply amazing Dave, your hunting partner, Greg , Is a Silver Magnet King !

He seems to always get his coil over the silver. Great Video.

[Armymanis]

I am so amazed that you guys are finding lots of silver in the woods! Good job! Keep on hunting! :)

[sidewallfusion]

I love it, great finds. Good looking coin the half dollar, makes me wish I was in the states.

[DeepSilverDetector]

OUTSTANDING! Great finds for you both, thanks for sharing

[backspace4093]

Etrac I meant to say.

[backspace4093]

Etrac I meant.

[backspace4093]

Dude I would have had a stroke digging all that silver. The trace kicks butt I know because I have one.

[NQExplorers]

Magic stuff Dave, Big Silver! Your close up work is superb as usual, what a great hunt. Well done mate and HH.

[ArizonaBob]

[stuman61]

[coreybhatesemail]

Unreal!!! Nice hunt. Years worth of detecting in one hunt.

[BarberDimeMike]

Fantastic Hunt. Hope you saved a few silver for T-man. Nice video Dave.

[AmericanCoinHunting]

Ohh Yeah Mike....You will see him very Happy in my next video...He made some great finds & I will try to put out a (Trailor video...but on my [219erman]Channel...To anounce when I will post it on this channel)....TMAN Metal Detecting a Hobo Campsite !

[kchastain3]

Wow. That walking liberty half was gorgeous!

[AmericanCoinHunting]

Thank you for bringing that up...That is the designers initial..Hermon A. MacNein's initial 'M' is located above and to the right of the date on these coins...Hope you enjoyed the video..Thanks for watching & commenting ..Dave

[jeepercreepster]

did u guys ntice the "M" stamped next to the dates on the quarters??

[rewjr1961]

Great finds congrats

[Ringo853]

[XGCPR3D4T0R]

Jeez! if i had a hunt like that i'd have a stroke and im only 27! lol. . .. what state you guys in? i tried hunting in the woods around here and found nothing. do you do any research on sites? I need to join you guys for a hunt seriously

[tmanfromtexas]

Nice hunt guys. I am glad I got to get out there with you two. Keep finding those hot spots and I hope you continue to find the silver stuff. TMAN...

[AmericanCoinHunting]

Thanks Tracy...........I hope to get the video of you & your outstanding finds up by next weekend...It was allot of fun having you up man !

[kevinniefer1]

WOW those are great finds

[MNdigger]

SWEEEET!!!!!

[justanotherpulltab]

I cannot believe that hunt freakin awesome, that 1920 walker looks really sharp. Awesome job you guys.

[AmericanCoinHunting]

@justanotherpulltab ...............Thanks for watching Roger...........Greg can sure sniff out the silver spills...(As you will see in future videos !)

[123puzzlesmc]

i live in new jersey and i wanna start metal detecting. any good places to go???

[swinginsouthjersey]

@123puzzlesmc What parts of Jersey you from?

[123puzzlesmc]

@swinginsouthjersey freehold

[NeilInWestJersey]

Actually coins do not sink much, the soil gets built up from decomposing leaves and other organic matter over the years.

Do you know what was at the site back in the 1920's? It must have been a park or some other type of area with a lot of foot traffic.

[AmericanCoinHunting]

@NeilInWestJersey ...........We figured it had to be a Hobo Campsite from the late 1930's....That's all I can say.

[fluoridekid]

Awesome hunt, Dave. Congratulations to Greg for finding those silver coin spills, and to you for yours. I'd say the date of the coin in question is 1918 too. As for finds being in the woods, well, from what I know, woods are favoured a lot by couples, which accounts for many spills. You may think that nobody goes there, but what the eye doesn't see... Most enjoyable video, I still feel all the excitement. Good hunting both of you :D

[tgblanke24]

Man this is absolutely amazing. How did you guys decide to go there?? There is an area in my town where a town once flourished with home, stables, hotels stores, etc during the 1820s-1860s that is now woods. Ive thought about exploring the area when it cools down outside.

[tgblanke24]

@tgblanke24 by the way, love the video. The thumbs down are jealous they dont find what you do.

[AmericanCoinHunting]

@tgblanke24 ..............We researched 8 sites and systematicaly hit them one by one.......Total Luck....As with all great finds....I have to admit ....But the next three videos of Metal detecting in this area...are equally as good....Three more videos...Too bad I was not the one to make the best finds in them...(Sigh)....LOL...But atleast I got some great videos out of it !

[TheShokwav]

what led you guys to inspect that area?

[AmericanCoinHunting]

@TheShokwav ..........Research !

[MichiganCoinHunter]

Whoa....I need oxygen ! lol You won't get a hunt like that everyday. Super finds Dave and Greg. BIG CONGRATS ! HH

P.S. On SLQ's. The dates a recessed starting in 1925. The easiest way to tell a type 2 SLQ is it has the three stars under the eagle on the back. Type 1 doesn't.

[AmericanCoinHunting]

Thank you Mike

[AmericanCoinHunting]

Thank you Mike

[MrSilver9759]

What a awesome group hunt ! All that silver ! Congrats the both of U ! Keep the video's coming ! HH !

[bllsmb]

What a phenomenal hunt! Thanks so much for getting the video for us. A hunt dreams are made of!

[GoldenArcher66]

I'm not sure but I think it's a Type #1 1917 SLQ. The one that you found

[AmericanCoinHunting]

Thank you GoldenArcher66 

[Krisje44]

Those coinspills are a dream for most and (you) find them Awsome buddy

HH & GL

[coinwhisperer]

Awesome hunt and video! Congrats on all those silvers. Keep the videos coming. HH

[beerandgolf68]

Here's a question from someone who doesn't know anything about metal detecting: Why are the coins so deep. I'm assuming they weren't buried intentionally, but dropped. How do they get 6 inches into the soil?

[AmericanCoinHunting]

@beerandgolf68 .I think it has a little to do with foot traffic..In an old park..I find modern coins down to six inches at times & the older coins at 7-10 inches...Lots of foot traffic..But I have found 100 year old silver at just 2-3 inches...In the woods tho..Where not a soul has visited for 75-100 years...I may find an Indian head cent,or old silver coin at 2 inches,or even just under one inch of leaves..Like it was just dropped..Maybe someone else can chime in with a more scientific reason.

[etrac007]

great finds guys. hope you left something there.

[AmericanCoinHunting]

@etrac007 ..........Ohh yeah Mike.........When Tracy came to town........He found 8 silver the first day.......One was a seated.....A BIG ONE.......Sigh..(I passed right by it)...LOL...Ohh well...A great video comming up next week !

[cdltpx]

VNHunt

[beachbumsocal]

Holy moly silver!

[realredrebel]

Greg is a silver magnet... Great stuff... Congrats.

[MYGOLDCOIN101]

Coin hoard.

[MYGOLDCOIN101]

The STLQ is a 1918. Look at how the date is not recesed like the later 1928 kind. The coin has too much detail to be a latter date.
