Metal Detecting Previously Hunted Sites 

Thank you... LOL.. there is a Der Dutchman about 20 miles from my location. You must be very close to my area then when you do visit.. grab the detector when you come and if time and schedules permit we can hunt. Thanks for checking the video out. :)

Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. There are times I wish I didn't hear it as much but I always take it like you... as a challenge. Thanks for checking out the video.

Thank you and glad that you enjoyed the video. Take care.

Wow.. thank you very much for your kind comments.. I greatly appreciate them in the most sincere way a typed message can portray. :) I try my best not to group folks into one bundle as experience or as non experienced and explain at a level that everyone can understand. Sometimes I think I talk too much but hopefully it's not so... I'll never take on a manufacturer sponsoring my channel because I don't want to be told what I can and can't say. My goal is to portray and teach the hobby where I'm able so that expectations can actually be obtainable. I've seen too many folks get into the hobby believing their detectors pick up dimes at 15 inches deep and that they will come home with a pocket full of silver half dollars at the end of a 3 hour hunt every time... only to find that's not the case and sell their detector and exit the hobby quickly. I'll keep these video up as long as I can, thank you for your support in checking my videos out because without you and others watching what I'm doing... I most likely wouldn't be doing what I'm doing. Take care and HH.

Very true.. it's always that front door that attracts everyone. LOL I will try to do some more dual machine hunts like this from time to time especially in front yards like this where the grid is easily defined. I think that brooch is hand cast too, there are marks on the back that are possibly from a mould where it was hand poured. I'm not certain of that but it sure looks like it.. either way it's a cool find. Ha! yes, I had to lose the rubber boots for this hunt it was warm enough to get away with wearing my cowboy boots. :) Thank you for checking out the video and I will reply on your other message later today.

Thank you Mike. LOL... Yes, at that point I just went ahead and said it, always seem to find some crazy interesting stuff that really gets me excited and confused at the same time.. Glad it brought a laught. :) Thanks for checking the video out and take care.

Thank you very much, glad your enjoying them. I'll keep them coming as long as I can hold all this together, gets tough sometimes. :) Thanks for tuning in to check out the video.

You welcome and glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for tuning in to check the video out. :)

Thank you... trying to do my best to help folks out and the mental game that comes with each sites dynamic issues. I hear too many folks with a sigh after they hear a permission has already been hunted.. .just want them to know... it's Ok and just go hunt. :) Thanks for checking out the video.

Thank you very much. LOL, I spent like 2 hours trying to find something on it although I believe it was cast by a local or small shop that made jewelry. The marking and such seem more like a silversmith's work than a manufacturer. There was another viewer, the first comment if sorted by newest, has a very helpful link to some great info on dating pins... maybe check it out. Thank you for checking out the video and take care.

@@squarenailsquirrel9638 thanks for the info. It's a very cool piece and I'm happy you found it. Take care.

Thanks, I had a good time out there for the short bit I can spend there before the site is obliterated. Thank you for checking out the video.

Thank you... I hope this video helps out with the sighs I sometimes hear from folks when they find out their new permission has been hunted before. I just want folks to believe in their hunt as well as feel confident if they get out there and swing that coil they will end up with their own great discoveries and adventure. Thank you for checking out the video and take care.

Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. I'm really liking the pin although still haven't found much info on it. Something to point out is the link that a subscriber posted in these comments (sort the comments by newest), the fist post made at the bottom of the list has a very cool link in it for dating pins by the type of clasp as well as other features... very helpful and you may need the info someday. Thanks for checking out the video and take care.

You welcome and glad you enjoyed it. It means a lot to me to hear that you and other folks actually look forward to the next video.. really keeps me motivated to get back out and make another video. Thank you for tuning in to check the video out. :)

Thank you and glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you for checking it out. :)

Thank you and it's awesome things are warming up where you are. Get your gear checked out and get prepared because once the temps switch they switch fast. Good luck with any hunts you may get out on this spring and I wish you the best of luck. Thanks for checking out the video.

Great info and thank you. Do you think the button came off of Jeans or something similar with that type of crushed iron type fastener on it? I don't find this particular style very often. Thank you for checking the video out as well as commenting.

@@squarenailsquirrel9638 They use that motto mostly on blazer buttons, probably until present.

Thank you, I try my best to get good video instead of me just digging and pulling stuff up. I've watched way too many detecting videos to know that watching the back of someones arm digging a hole isn't all that great. LOL :) I started on Instagram making land surveying videos and the metal detecting ones stemmed off of that about a year ago.. I have slowly have gained some skills at this and hope to still improve as I move forward. Thank you for you very kind comment and for checking out the video.

Thank you and glad that you enjoyed it. I hope some of my settings help your hunt out, I don't go deep into detail on settings but I try to give exactly what I'm running so viewers can see how the machine reacts as well as the scenarios I set them for. Thanks for watching my videos and good luck on any hunts you have coming up.

Thank you, I was surprised I came out of there with that pin.. it really hit hard on the machine for being so deep. I would have thought it would have been found before. Thank you for checking the video out.

Thank you.. .it's very true that the hard sites really teach you the most. I just wish when I get on the overloaded EMI sites I could keep my head in the game and not want to bail, those seem to get me down the most. Thank you for tuning in to check the video out and best of luck at any hunts you may have coming up.

Thank you and glad that you enjoyed it.. .hope you have got out to do some detecting lately with the new machine.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I had a suggestion by one of my viewers to try a video like this so my attempt in this video was "first attempt". When I see folks comparing machines by air testing and burying a coin it really isn't anywhere close to field use comparison and results. The difference of a target that's been in the ground with a mineral halo as well as nearby targets is a whole different story on how a machine will perform. Hopefully this video helps ease some concerns about the machines because just like you.. I have equal success between the machines. Thank you for checking the video out, greatly appreciated.

:) thanks. I really wasn't sure what I had when I first pulled that pin out of the ground. LOL It's nice out in Amish country but wish I could get more permissions down there. Thanks for checking out the video.

Thank you, glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you for checking the video out. :)

The V3i has a learning curve although it's very much worth it. The new ones are nice but you can also get a very good used one, they are built like tanks and the screen will look brand new with a $6 new factory cover. My V3i was bought used in 2011 and been a great experience the whole time owning it. I too had an XLT.. I wish I never sold it. :) Thanks for checking out the video and hope to see ya back on here someday and picked the hobby back up... (if not currently in it). Take care.

@@squarenailsquirrel9638 This is one hobby I've stuck with. The treasure bug bit me bad! You'll occasionally see me on Detecting4Life RU-vid channel.

@@squarenailsquirrel9638 i still have my xlt since 1992 have it for so many years but when it goes out on me it costs me $250.00 TO FIX IT HAD TO FIX IT TWIce 5 YEARS in between its still the best damn machine ever

@@squarenailsquirrel9638 i still have my xlt since 1992 i have it today But everytime it goes out on me it costs me $250.00 each time to fix.Had to fix it twice 5 years in between those times its still one of the best

Glad you liked the video and thank you for checking it out. Your right in the principals being the same, I’m sure if I ran a Garrett over this site I will still turn up items the machines I’ve already ran missed. There are some Garrett users on this channel and I feel like I’ve been running one for about 5 years after following every move Aquachigger and Green Mountain Metal Detecting over the years. Lol. Thank you for subscribing and goad to have ya on here.

Thank you and glad you like the comparison. It was something to try out since I really haven't seen many videos comparing the two. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video and take care.

Thanks, I was trying to change things up a little and so some caparison between machines. Between the two machines I can tell a difference between their languages as well as response to different targets making the hunt two very different hunts depending on which machine I choose to use. There isn't a better one over the other although I really like that the Sport I can use at every site but the V3i depending on moisture as well as EMI.. may not be able to use. Thanks for the congrats as well as checking out the video.. I wish you luck with any hunt you may have coming up.

I like the previously hunted sites as well, they are usually clean and filled with "iffy's :) I like the iffy signals for some reason. The finds at this site were pretty good with the pendant being my favorite due to uniqueness. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video and I wish you luck with any hunts you may have coming up.. take care. Have you ever hunted the brick Octagon house north out of Smuckersville? If you need clarity on it let me know on IG DM, it's a slightly encrypted description.

I too have those kind of sites and really want to see once I get a new detector if when I go back I find things I missed. It would be very interesting to see someone else hunt on day two to see what they find versus me. Wish I could pull that off somehow. Thanks for checking the video out. :)

With the following your getting, I am sure if you put the word out you wanted a buddy, you would have no problem finding one. I would but I am in Washington state, a wee bit of a drive for me. @@squarenailsquirrel9638

Someone was tired lol. Great video dude. keep it up.

@@zander9660 Thank you... I wait until my wife goes to bed and then I have time to work on these videos. Problem is I record on Saturdays or Sundays and edit on Monday and Tuesday nights after 10PM... gets tough sometimes..

You welcome and glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for tuning in to check the video out and best of luck to any hunts you have coming up. :)

Thank you. The MX Sport is a great machine and thank goodness that it exists due to being 1 of the 2 waterproof detectors White's sells. Thanks for checking out the video.

We are both on the same page then, I always wrestle with all the possibilities that could exist although I just go hunt it anyway and see what happens. Sometimes you find some great items left behind. Thanks for checking the video out as well as commenting. Take care.

LOL... Im also hard headed and never think a site is hunted out. The sites my have less signals and yo may be digging targets with less of a perfect VDI but that's ok. Thank you for checking the video out. :)

Thank you, I really try my best at these but it's been a long road trying to get everything figured out as to editing video and dealing with digital dissolution of video, etc. With each video I try to portray the whole hunt instead of just digging holes, etc. Thanks for checking the video out and for your kind words.

I always respect the privacy of anyone that's around me when making video and especially protective of location as well as children. Found some pretty cool stuff out there, definitely a great hunt. Thanks for checking out the video.

Thank you. I kinda like the hunted out sites due to the low trash targets.. spending the time to dig what is left can pay off sometimes. Thank you for checking the video out.

Very cool, glad to see you are getting out to detect and enjoying the machine. Those shoe buckles are really cool finds especially an small baby sized one. Good luck out hunting and take care.

It may have been, I could have snapped it off. Either way... it will have a new one attached to it soon by a jeweler friend of mine.

Having more than one machine does help out especially when the operating frequency and processors are different. Targets can respond very differently to the signal we are hunting with where one machine says.. maybe... and the other may say.. you need to dig this... I guess if you just dug everything then you would be ok and folks actually do that practice. I just don't have the patience for it although I do dig a lot of iffy signals. Thank you for checking out the video and HH.

Thank you. I was surprised by the pin that's for sure. :) The comparison between the two machines went over pretty good after receiving positive responses in the comments on here. I really haven't seen many videos where anyone does this unless they are bashing one brand over another. My comparison like you say was "no prejudice" and only a comparison between the data levels, responses and language of the detectors. There is huge difference in how detectors will respond to targets dealing with what frequency they hunt on and even though the Sport and V3i are great machines made by the same folks.. you get very different target responses. Not that one is better than the other.. it's just that they are tools for the hunt utilized differently. I'm hoping to some day add another machine to the mix although funds are low currently. Thanks for checking out the video as well as commenting. take care.

Kenny - Another fantastic video. I am pretty bummed out now because I have seen all of your videos and am now waiting for more......No PRESSURE. It's fun living through your experiences and you are definitely the Rambo of detectorists. Since I am in the market for a detector, I took great interest in your comparing your two detectors. I am really anxious to find out what new detector you decide to get (hope the tax man was kind to you) and I hope you do some rigorous testing of it (once you get to know it) with your two existing detectors. Question - In your search for a new detector, have you come across any unbiased Consumer Reports type of sites that are comparing one detector to another using the same test bed?@@squarenailsquirrel9638

Yup, It's just south of where I am located although I don't get to detect down there much. Thank you very much for checking the video out. :)

Thank you.. this was a fun hunt especially running the test between the two machines for something different. Thank you for checking out the video. :)

LOL, I may have an AT Pro before things are all over doing these videos. I like the machine and watch many folks on RU-vid that use them... I just haven't ever experienced using one myself although I'm sure it lies as much as my White's machines do. LOL Thanks for checking the video out.

LOL, I was kinda thinking that when I first swept the dirt away. Turned out to be a cool find and I'm thinking about taking it in to have a jeweler fix the pin. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video. :)

That's what I was thinking, give it to our wife. It might make up for all those late nites you are editing.@@squarenailsquirrel9638

:) Thanks for checking out the video.

LOL.. don't let it stop ya because it's 9 out of every 10 sites I go to anymore these days. I haven't figured out if the pin is silver but since it was not tarnished or corroded like an alloy I believe it's silver. The weight of it as well as that soft almost clay like surface feel makes me believe it's silver. (Hopefully that clay statement made sense, for me when I find a silver coin that's been buried for a long time they feel that way) Thanks for checking the video out and wishing you luck on any hunts you have coming up.

I don't think they're ever hunted out completely. Seems that even little changes such as your direction you are walking while hunting, settings on the machine, different machines and the most important part of it all which I failed to mention in the video is.... mental game. When I go to a new exciting site for the first time I always detect way too fast where the second trip usually I can slow down and focus. There are other points to the mental game as well such as being upset before coming out to hunt by something going on in life or if your limited on time to hunt... things such as that can really effect how productive your are that day my altering your hunt style. Thanks for checking out the video and take care.
