Met up with Dan to check out a new site he had researched. We were only there for 3 hours and I managed to find 5 old gold rings, old coins , and other time period relics..
These guys are great! In 1959 I lost my Mercersburg (Pa) Academy class gold signet ring while lifeguarding on the beach at Greenwich Point in Connecticut. 58 years later they found it with my initials and class, contacted the academy who matched my initials with my class. The academy contacted me and I contacted them. Ring came home with nothing asked in return. They just liked to see me happy. Will supply a photo of my smiling face complete with ring. These guys are for real, and much appreciated.
Alicia Mersdorf You are absolutely stunning, and you remind me of my sweet grandmother! And I must say that you are incredibly sexy… I am hungry and need my granny to breast-feed me so I don’t starve..
Wow Tom, I have never seen you pull so many rings in one day before. A huge congrats. And thanks for calling up the other night. I learned some stuff and had fun too. BOL, Mike.
Just saw this video and I will try and follow you from now on. Yes, the gold and silver rings are nice. What I like is that lead soldier that some kid lost while playing.
I am 69, English, living in Bulgaria. many years ago I bought my first metal detector, they have improved since then. When I was detecting, I did all the leg and map work. I read the history in the area I lived, and used this to find stuff. After watching many vids on the History channel and on here, I have decided to take it up again. I live in a small village with a lot of history. I am surrounded by streams and a great lake, also mountains, small ones. A Turkish friend pans for gold in the streams and has had some success. Panning is not my thing, detecting is. I bought myself a quad bike to take me to the most difficult places. Tombs of kings have been discovered here with his treasures,,gold etc. I am looking forward to doing my research and getting out there.
Love how you give back the rings you find the owners for. Honesty....just won u another subscriber! I’d love finding anything old and thinking of the history of it.
Great job on the gold rings Tom..Wow🙌👏🙌 Another great river hunt. 😉Just catching up on commenting after my salmon fishing trip. Way to Go on the AMAZING FINDS😃
Thank you johnny , hope you got a freezer full of salmon ! Be tuned in for an amazing river discovery that I will be uploading sometime soon !! not sure when yet but probably after a few videos from this site ..
You're kicking ass again this year Tom. I can't remember the last time you got skunked. ( door knocking doesn't count ) Best of luck Saturday at your new spot. I hope it pans out for you. And remember, keep an eye on the rear view mirror. Make sure you're not being tailed. LOL
No bad lighting at all. I could see everything very clearly. Congrats on your haul and continued success in keeping your locations secret. I wish you well, gentlemen.
When I detect I enjoy everything I find including the junk lol it's the anticipation of what will it be then I wonder how it got where I found it. Great video!
That fact that you first picked up the toy soldier after saying you care about the history before the value kinda sealed it for me. Cool man. I'm from Southern Illinois near Stl and I love reading my local history.
Cool finds! I hate when people do that hog ur area because u found a ring. I've had people try to swing in my spot right next to me. I always fill my holes and take the dug trash with me💜✌
Thanks for sharing. And you don’t let those duds catch up to you. The video came out good. I watch on my 45 in. Samsung through my Roku device, and I cannot comment. But this time I thought I should reach out. So I found your video on my IPod and commented. Good luck on your next hunt. I’m thinking about getting myself a medal detecter soon.
Really sweet finds😎😎😎😎. The lighting wasn’t great but I did enjoy the video. I really like how you show the cleaned rings. And the weights to boot. 👍👍👍
Just insane Tom. You've dug more gold and silver rings than most of us will dig in a lifetime. So what club was it again? Just kidding. 4 times a charm.... awesome video Tom.
Thanks guys , I have to stay a step ahead of those guys. even to the point I have to take the gf vehicle to some of the spots so they don't think im in any of the obvious sites
In 1995 my dad received a letter from a gentleman saying he had found something that belonged to my dad's mother. After some correspondence to make sure he had found the right family, he mailed my grandmother's 1920 class ring. My dad is 5 years gone now, but I have the ring and letter in my safe. It really means a lot to get a family heirloom from a total stranger. He took the trouble to look up her initials, found her married name somehow, and found her next of kin some 600 miles away.
You do a great job doing these videos I really respect your method compared to some who blab on and on about stupid stuff. We understand that you are not Stephen Spielberg. You tape what is important and that is what we want to see.
Awesome hunt for Dan and yourself. I do know about Poaching .. lol Dr No and I have been able to keep the location of our Honey Hole a secret for almost three years now. I was once sent a two second clip that a fellow digger picked out of one of my videos of a building on the property we detect. Funny thing was, they still could not figure out where the building actually was. LOL ps, I want to send you a letter you might need some day, here it is. U
LOl , yea unfortunately when you find gold rings it brings everyone out of the woodwork like roaches...Never had this problem when I found a park honey hole with coins
Nice! Some great finds there. Gold, though, really doesn't tarnish, doesn't corrode... but man, it'll collect and hang onto muck and grime like crazy! It's almost sticky. BTW, those costume jewelry brooches looked like pretty good Art Deco pieces.
Sorry, but have fallen behind watching vids with hunting season so I'm playing your marathon today! Great dig, love the rings and especially the lead soldier! Awesome, sorry to hear about the leaches cuz it would be great to see the before and after pics and hear the history from your sites! Understand totally about the disclosure however, same situation in my area concerning Civil War sites! Thanks for sharing and HH
Thanks , yea I noticed all your comments ..You been busy watching some videos !! I would love to find anything civil war related. We don't have that type of history here unfortunately..Some time this spring or fall I need to take a trip south and try to get onto some sites that had activity ..
Wow amazing finds from a swimming hole. Definitely going to check out locations like that where i am. Great channel too so I've subscribed and clicked the bell to see more so please keep your detecting videos flowing. I will understand if your videos are just of water. I have the same problem here people always following me and don't care about history and just want the gold. Good luck on your next trip out. Scuba Guy
Great video and finds. I've taken a friend to a couple of my oldest spots where a lot of large cents have been found and now he goes back time and time again with his buddy. Needless to say I learned a hard lesson. Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks , I have a group that we all share sites with as long as everyone does their own share of leg work and research. I rather have one of the guys I detect with make the finds who will appreciate the history of the things instead of one of the Chicago club guys who would end up selling them off or not care about the other things except for the gold..
Nice saves and congratulations on finding another productive site. One idea is you can show the site in a later full video with historical context after you have pounded it to death and are satisfied that it's not producing anymore. No rules as to when you post stuff. You could even mess with the claim jumpers by posting the full video first even though you already cleaned it out. GL and HH!!
Thanks , last year I did a wrap up at a site that had nothing in it and had the street sign in the background just to throw them off. This time I waited to upload until it got quiet. If they figure it out and find something I missed , then good for them ! Im just glad me and dan got most of it ...
Thanks , I keep it real and don't believe in making money by placing ads on my videos , or try to get sponsors. This is a hobby not a business , I do the videos to show that with research this stuff is still out there waiting to be found ,, as well as sharing what I find as well as meeting other detectorists on youtube as well..
I love your comments on people following you. I was beginning to wonder why you were acting so blaa about your finds in the water, now I know why. I love the history too! Waukegan illinois
Thanks , unfortunately RU-vid will place one of these videos where I will get over 50 k views , and that's when the people who don't detect or ones that just troll will start coming out of the woodwork with nothing but negative comments !! And I really don't expect those types to understand the difference in real finds vs. fake ones.. Theres only a couple channels on youtube that search these old swimming sites and make finds like I do and one of them is detector comparisons , and Jimmy maya .I have detected all over in the Joliet area as well..
Love the vid! You just keep doing what your doing. Your fine. I go to extremes sometimes to not be seen. Problem is there are people all over the place. I'm beginning to learn that the hours from 3 pm until 6 are best as the onlookers dwindle home and leave me alone. Big thumbs up on the gold and silver! (Coins too!)
