I can't even begin to describe how incredible this hunt was. This is hands down the best yard I've ever detected in my life! Thanks for watching and enjoy!
What a bountiful yard, really amazing, silver galore. People who do not participate in this hobby have no idea how difficult & rare it is to find a yard like this. Enjoy my man!
Thanks John! So very true, I think a lot of people who watched this and don’t detect don’t understand how special of a yard this was. Once in a lifetime territory for sure!
@@GreatOutdoorsDetecting I imagine the people who owned the lovely house probably had lots of garden parties and their were lots of rich people dropping there money around the lawn
I've been Metal Detecting for more than40 years. I've found a lot of Beautiful Old Coins, but I think that 1877 Seated Liberty Half is one of the NICEST USA Coins I've ever seen recovered. Congratulations Young Man!
Really enjoyed your video! Your presentation is excellent! . Years ago, a friend and I went metal detecting. Our favorite location was an old park in the center of a small town. We had some excellent finds , too. Lots of old and valuable coins. Also, rings,tokens, and tiny old artifacts! Love you and your viewers.
So much silver in one dream yard! That front lawn must have been well-used over the years. And I'm guessing there was not much trash or iron, either? What a thrill, man! I would have been shaking just like you. Old silver will do that! Congrats!!!
Thanks man! Yeah I can only imagine the social gatherings and events that took place in that front yard back in the day. It's such a grand old house. I'm shocked nobody hit it before, most of the other houses I've tried in this town never had much. Thanks for watching and HH! Zach
Thank you! Yeah it was fun to see his excitement. He doesn't even metal detect, he just wanted to experience finding a silver coin and boy did he. HH! Zach
AMAZING!!. I can't figure out why there would be any thumbs down on this since there is nothing but amazing finds and great commentary throughout the video. It was a blast watching this. Congrats.
Thanks for leaving such a thoughtful comment man! I enjoy reading ones like this, I'm glad to have inspired you to want to try detecting! I will say this was a really rare yard and I wouldn't expect to start finding stuff like this right off the bat. Takes time but if you love the adventure of getting out there this hobby will never get old to you. HH! Zach
@@GreatOutdoorsDetecting You should never rub coins with sand because it is the same as wiping sandpaper on them. Take a one to three gallon bucket of water you dip them in and shake it off the dirt instead.
Great finds my friend and hello from Brazil. May I state that you have to start using a spray bottle. Just a small one they sell them at Walmart or Walgrens. You will need one that pumps. Because you are using a lot of water being spent. I do not know how many bottles of water you carry with you, but using the spray bottle gives the water a jet propulsion so that it blows the dirt away faster and that equals less of your time moving it with your fingers and possibly scratching the coins. Just a thought.
Dude, that first Seated half! What amazing shape it is in! Major congrats on an old virgin yard and some epic finds! I almost jumped out of my skin when you told him to just rub that CC quarter. Ahhhh! Use water! What an amazing yard.
Thanks man! It blows my mind that nobody hunted it before! It looks so good. May never see a yard like that again, although I sure hope I do! Thanks for watching!
Hey thanks Shane! I'm actually working on another video of this house. My buddy Jim and I hunted it again yesterday and found a huge silver spill at it. Video should be dropping in the next twelve hours!
Thanks man! Hope you can get your seated! You deserve it, you've been in the community for a long time. I was watching one of Dr. Tones videos from years ago and saw your comment on it
Thanks Troy! This was an experience I will always remember. I wonder if my roommate is the first person ever to find an 1876cc seated dime as his first seated!
Just love the condition of these coins. Such beauties. I used to have a pretty nice collection. Till someone broke in & stole it back in 1980. Face value was over $2000.00. Had coins from late 1700's to 1970's.
Sweet. Was waiting for "The home owners took all my finds." That would be my luck. Dig all those coins and bucket listers and then have them taken. Congrats on the seated half.
Yeah. On this house it helped that the owner doesn't actually live in the house, he wasn't around most of the time. I got lucky getting this permission because I caught him mowing the lawn
Put the mud one away and clean them later or are you that much of a girl oh oh I got a seated just dig and shut up no wonder it gets dark fast you talk to much
Hey Down South! I have been at it since 1972 & NEVER had ANY DAYS like this! What a blessing for you & your hunt bud! I'm so happy that you were able to vid the experience. Question: did you think to go back & hunt that honey hole for 5 cent pieces & gold???? If you do, based on my suggestion - you owe me a 5 cent piece!
Thanks Clay! This yard was truly a blessing. I went back to it several times to clean out all the signals. I probably spent around 8 hours in total hunting it
Amazing hunt! Congratulations on the fantastic finds from that virgin site. That kind of yard is every metal detectorist's dream. There are a lot of them still out there but we just have to hustle up the permissions and put in the hours. -Jay
Thanks man! It blows my mind nobody hit this house before. It's like the juiciest house in town and all the other houses I've tried in this town never had much.
Nice finds bud, definitely the best hunts in old yards, and for the people saying it’s pretty much a seeded hunt, sit down and shut up. I do have to add at 6:26 I think you rolled another coin you didn’t show. Happy hunting
It drives me crazy watching folks rub a coin they just dug. I know you get hyped and don't really think about it, but you'll always regret scratching the hell out of it later.
English detectorist here. I've dug up hammered coins around 800 years old. I've dug up 2 gold coins which are 200 years old. Yet watching you lot across the pond dig up awesome shiny silvers like that just makes me happy on a different level. Your coins come up looking fantastic!
Congrats Zach! That was truly an epic yard. The seated half has a great patina. I love it when they are toned like that. Well done and thanks for sharing.
Thanks Dave! Yeah the toning on it is great, I'm glad I sprayed it off because it helped preserve it better. Smaller and newer silver I don't mind rubbing as much but big old silvers deserve a spray.
Hi, just a comment on your incredible finds, and I'm not gonna scream at ya, like people have screamed at me, but since you had such high expectations for silver for this yard, you mighta had a small spritzer bottle and at least a small broken off soft tooth brush to clean the coins with you! I now carry both of them. Got the broken toothbrush idea from Brad at GMMD. Rob Love the green patina's on IHP's
@@connielingus6969 you are about as smart as a 5 year old if you think this yard is planted. I hunted this yard myself after he hammered it and was still finding coins all over. Go find a silver coin in the ground, or better yet, plant one yourself and wait a year and see what it looks like after it comes out of the ground. News flash, it comes out like it was never in the ground. Silver sterilizes itself, and is why the dirt doesn't corrode it like other metals such as copper or brass
I've watched this episode before and may have already commented on it. But that seated half is just totally EPIC! Wow! I love watching it multiple times. Better than most TV, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, or whatever. What a nerd I am, but oh well. The seated liberty coins are my favorite American coins! That half dollar would be enough, but THEN the 1876 CC dime!! OMG, what a show! and then the 1875!! Do they give Emmys for Amazing Coin Hunting Shows? This was better than so many shows I've sat through. Of course no zombies, no exposed brains, no clones, no murders . . . just fun stuff for me! LOL:)
It's still out there Old homes that were busy with activity and people around, that big stump could have provided shade and a roadside shop or an convince stand could been there Old houses with history. Even could have been a place where kids were gathering That's awesome. I wish I had done that as a youth
Amazing video. I learned from this video that between 1877 and 1934 people had a crazy game of throwing money all over their lawns for no logical reasons. But, times were different, and people were odd. Maybe their dog got into the money and ate a bunch of coins and pooped them all over the yard. Could happen, just sayin.
For sure! Pastor Bob and I did a little door knocking yesterday but didn't find that dream yard yet lol. I would love to get together with you and Bob sometime to do some hunting. GL and HH!
Oh cool! You're in Nebraska too? What area are you in? I'm in Seward. I only go to college out here so that's why I'm only in Nebraska for part of the year
@@GreatOutdoorsDetecting Yep I'm in Omaha. We were door knocking out in Iowa yesterday though. There is some really nice old houses in Seward that is a good place to hunt.
This dream yard was in Seward. It's such a grand house and it's not like Seward is that isolated or anything which is why I'm amazed it was never hunted before.
That yard is just awesome someone had resodded the yard seeing that the depth of the coins was about 4 inches n no telling who lost coins probably children playing in the yard or workers mowing the yard very nice finds😊
Congratulations boys you got some awesome fines there. I would go over it again Low and slow and I guarantee you’ll have quite a few more coins. HH from North Carolina
Awesome video and Great Finds Zach! I could tell by the first hole you dug that the soil conditions were awesome to have the potential for some great finds! Congratulations on the Seated Half and all of the other coins!
@@IIISWILIII Sorry you don't know your head from your ass in terms of detecting. Instead of bashing someone else who puts a ton of time and passion into his hobby, go out and actually turn your detector on, and then maybe you could appreciate how much time and effort goes into finding these things. Go reflect on yourself, Zach is a great guy and he is a much better detector than you ever will be.
Just out of curiosity--as Down South Detecting is my favorite site on youtube, beating all other detecting series--why is it that it seems like ten minutes or so into a show, "it's getting dark soon." Do you always start after supper, or at least most of the time? The way this started out, I was hoping it'd be an all day hunt. You do a great job, but I've always been curious about this "it's getting dark soon" on most--not all, but most--of the shows.
awesome finds dude. Good job. But please don't rub the coins like that. the dirt is abrasive and you probably dropped every one of those coins a grade by rubbing them. Also loved your spontaneous praising to God instead of the people who use expletives when they find something good. :-)
Awesome. Watching this brings back memories of my father taking me metal detecting. I was shocked at the coins we found at an old ballpark, We found a few walking liberties and mercury dimes were everywhere. I was hooked after the ballpark experience.
