Metal Detecting Surface Finds 

Thank you. :) Glad that you enjoyed it.

This is the first time I have seen one in person... the iron type... Silver Dollar Digger is looking into it and comparing to what info she can find. Pretty cool find... knew it had to be something more than a big iron jumping jack. Thanks for commenting and checking out the video.

Thank you. It’s a constant battle with the wind... I’ve sewn many different types of wind blocks to fit on my phone with the current one being the best so far. The wind had destroyed some of my videos in the past and I always try to keep that from happening again. Thanks for tuning in to check out the video. I put your decal on the side of my new Minelab and in the video that’s uploading as I’m typing... it shows clearly just before my scrolling finds ending. 👍🏻 Thanks again for sending those. 🙂

🙂 thank you for watching.

Yes, I believe you are right. Silver Dollar Digger is going to look up some info and do some comparisons to ID it. We just thought it was a large jack when it was found. LOL Turns out it's a really awesome find. Thank you for commenting and placing and ID for it. Take care.

:) That's exactly what we though when we were at the site although after showing it on here the "jack" has turned into a caltrop. :) Pretty cool stuff.

seu bem-vindo e feliz que você gostou

Thank you for the commenting on the ID for that find. I had to look up what a Caltrop actually was when I saw it mentioned. Lol. Made down in Alabam... guessing you are from there... I lived in Alexander City for a couple years when I was younger... my moms side of the family is from there.

Im not that smart. Exploring Alabama has found them and that's where I got my info. I think its neat that one found its way to your part of the country. And yes, I from Satsuma Alabama.

Thank you... I try my best on there to educate and entertain. Thanks for subscribing. :) Typically in any video I do I share my settings quickly so folks can see what I'm doing but here is and idea of my settings.... Sensitivity never under 7, disc out 0 to -95 with no audible iron tones, lock track and balance often, sweep about 2-2-5 seconds per pass, slight threshold hum so I can here it drop out on iron.. SAT at 4 but that's really nothing to worry about. There would be more detail as stated in the videos, I don't have the machine in front of me right now to comment more. I kinda need it in front of me

Thank and glad that you enjoy the maps, etc. I try to include as much as I can so folks can "feel" the site instead of just being somewhere digging. I utilize lidar although the areas I hunt in Ohio it really isn't helpful for. I have done some work for other detecting video makers to help hunts using MD, NY, NJ and VT lidar data, I can generate really tight contours using global mapper in which I own due to having a surveying business. I have to say that the northeast has some good flown data (and it's free) up there compared to here. Thanks for commenting with your suggestions as well as checking out the videos... pleasure to have ya on here.

Thanks for checking on the marks, I use a lot of books to research because the internet in the past 10 years has kind of became useless unless you need to buy something. Lots of talking heads with inaccurate information. That's awesome on the collection of artifacts... I don't have a hatchet and have looked for one since I could walk. LOL. Thanks for checking the video out.

Lol. I like finding about anything but the coins really make for a nice day. Ya know... my wife asked the same question... lol... and yes... after a bit she also quit asking. Walnut Creek is relaxing and pretty place... all kinds of things to explore down there. Thanks for commenting as well as checking the video out.

Nice ID on the target... I had to take a guess. 😂 I hope I don’t find a lot of those but next time I do... i’ll be able to ID it. 🙂 thanks for the info and for checking the video out.

That’s very true... have to think that all their belongings were inside when it went down and when cleanup happened... lots of valuables left behind in the rubble. If I get back down to hunt with them again at that site i’ll give it another try at house 1. There was just so many old bottles and really old items like the pipe which points to an early home. I’d like to flip something cool out of there. Thanks for checking the video out. 🙂

I wish I could read the date on it to help out researching when play quarters like that were popular. Thanks for you kind comment... trying my best to make good videos. Lol.. right now there is only one hat like that. 🙂 maybe someday I will have more patches made of folks want them. Your the first person to actually want one. i’ll Keep you in mind once I get to that point.

I believe we all will go back out there at some point. The land is actually owned by another party in which I haven't met yet. Thanks for checking out the video and hope all goes will with the V3i.

Thank you... all kinds of stuff came out of that field. Just keep your eyes on the ground and eventually you will find one, I find most of mine that aren't in plowed field located in little streams or drains in the woods... I actually blew on those reeds checking the tune to my piano to figure them out... kidding... it's wrote on them which I never knew before this. :) Take care and good luck hunting.

Thanks... I was glad to get the two coins I did and see the ones that silver dollar digger and Tom got. Thanks for checking the video out and glad you enjoyed it. I use my phone utilizing the Filmic pro app and export from adobe premiere pro in a H264 format.

Kurt E Warner I agree. Haven't seen any that big before.

Thank you and glad that you enjoyed it. It's a pleasure to make and share these with everyone. Thank you for tuning in to check it out. :)

Thank you. If I get back down there i’ll take time to get out in the back of the field near that stream... could turn out to find some great stuff. Thanks for checking the video out as well as commenting. 🙂

I am constantly working permissions, it really takes as much time to get permissions as it does to detect. If I see a house I want to detect I mark it on my phone just taking a screen shot on google maps and holding my finger down on the screen where it shows the address. Typically I will have 3-4 places picked out in an area before I go to ask so I have 4 chances with about at 25% return on yes’s. Farm fields are easy to get permission but standing homes are somewhat difficult. On your 1930’s, try asking the Mayors office... they will point you to who you need to ask and then just explain you will respect the grounds and turn in anything historically relevant to the historical society. Just show that you care and form a line of trust... if it doesn’t work out try another and keep asking places until you get one... it’s worth it. If I lived close I’d come out there for the day to help acquire a few permissions. Are you in Ohio by chance?

@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Thanks for the tips. I'll keep trying. There's a couple other abandoned houses I would like to detect, but I haven't been able to figure who owns them whether private or town. I'm still hopeful though. I'm in New York.

I will have to look that up although it’s very likely... I had a wood burning furnace that had something similar to that but the design was a little different in shape. Silver dollar digger has that at her house and is probably researching it. I’ll have to ask her if she discovered anything new on it. Thank you for commenting and adding your ID for that item. 👍🏻

Oh wow!!! Thanks Gene... that’s a big help. Did you use a book or did you get on the internet to search it up? Thanks for commenting and checking out (in detail) the video :) take care.

Thank you... that green screen is really confusing at times but worth it. I can cover off on so much more when doing it but it really eats up a lot of time setting up and editing. The camera I’m using is the same one... iPhone 7 set at 1080P 60fps and utilizing the filmic pro app. Key to it is to never hit the digital zoom button and use exporting settings on Adobe premiere pro that maximize RU-vid uploads. It’s taken me pretty much all of my videos up to about 4 weeks ago to get everything tested and tuned. Thanks for checking the video... very glad you tune in.

I hadn’t thought about the fence corner decoration... there was one spike that was home off which may have been the connection point that was hooked to the post. Folks on here mentioned it was a caltrop, I had to look it up to know what it was. Lol. Looks pretty similar. Silver dollar digger will be researching it for further ID. I also hope to get back by that creek... it’s a totally different kind of site to hunt being so old... may not find much but there’s always that chance of a once in a life time find laying back there. If I get back down to hunt with them again i’ll Make an effort to get back there. Thanks for checking the video out as well as commenting.

@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Caltrop? I had never heard of them. I hurried through the comments to you and saw that someone shared a link to a picture. Wow that is pretty cool if that's what it is. Soooo much better than a fence topper lol. After seeing the picture I agree with them. I love when I learn something new. Thanks.

Good to know that it helps out, I tried many things to show everything I find with this being the most effective. The camera moves and the board is stationary. I have built, re-built and re-built again the rig I use to do this. When I find time I will make some more changes so I can even out my movements. When doing the macro type video, everything from light to movement and placement really matter and it's hard to get right. It takes me a couple tries every time to get this to work out the way i want... I would have to show you a picture of what I am doing to explain the process and the rig I use.. it's pretty involved.

.... jeanlucchasse275@gmail.com all small letter, including also the first one. Send me a pics of your camera rig, the result is good.

I was at one time thinking of fix camera and a rotating disk to support display.

Very good suggestion and thank you for commenting. Silver Dollar Digger cleaned it up after she got home to find out it was for suspenders made my OshKosh.. pretty cool button find.

Thank you. I really enjoy arrowhead hunting and when I’m out detecting, once I find a point I get really overloaded with hunting points and detecting at the same time. lol. Lately I’ve found some nice ones between work and detecting. Thanks for checking the video out and take care. 🙂

Thank you... I believe it does to. Even though I dug trash up at house 1 I still for some reason believe it holds really old finds... just too much evidence that it's a much older site. There is a chance that we all will visit this site again before farming starts up for the spring. Thank you for checking the video out.

LOL.... I had a hard time with the green screen in this video.. my shirt color messed it up.

@@squarenailsquirrel9638 by the way, arrowhead is awesome !!!! most pretty find from that day ! neolithic age letter to you ! I dig 14 years and do not find one - just bronze age arrowheads of some sort.

@@ВЛесуПраздник I'll mail you an arrowhead for a bronze age arrowhead trade... I was looking at an auction house the other day to buy one in Europe.

@@squarenailsquirrel9638 unfortunately, such a things is forbidden to post transfer from Russia, where i live. But you can try Ukrainian auction, for examle - auction.violity.com/100095265-nakonechniki-skify

It's fund to dig with other folks.. I just haven't done it much over the years. It was nice to be out on this hunt with others. Thanks for checking out the video.

I figured that wasn't really a UFO, but I figured for sure you were wearing a sequined shirt. The Liberace of metal detecting!

@@trolltaker LOL... anything that sparkles in the mud... that's all that counts. :)

Thank you and very glad you enjoyed the hunt. Thank you also for all the great info... I haven't really done much with bottle digging and collecting glass to know much about it although it it very interesting to me and I plan on learning more about it. Best thing is.. I know where to start with getting training. :) you seem to be well educated on the subject. Thank you for checking out the video and talk soon.

@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Id be happy to discuss bottles/glass if you ever want to 😊 It was a 5 yr detour from detecting and a new topic to learn. Every bottle I took home, plain/common or not, was like a silver coin since bottles we're pre 1940-50's

Thank you very much. 🙂 I believe there are a ton of things still to find out there. I always miss a bunch of stuff on the first time out at single house versus three like in this video. Lol. Thanks for tuning in and take care.

Very true... I try to have fun with every hunt. Sometimes things get frustrating out detecting but eventually things work out in a good way. Thanks for checking the video out.. take care.

Yes... It was a great hunt and everyone came out with cool finds. I actually got sun burned on the back of my neck from this day... the sun felt good. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video.

Was wondering the same thing...I just ordered a 600 myself. Had the Xterra 305 for ten years.. figured it was time to upgrade.

@@jameshooker5939 I have the Equinox 600, its a Great metal detector.

Yes, the next video T-minus 30 hours to upload will be my first Equinox video.. all I can say is... wow!! what a machine. Thanks for checking the video out.

@@jameshooker5939 The next video will have the equinox in it... very close to upload

@@ronalddvorak1967 I second that... like the best I've used so far....

Thank you and that's a very true statement. I'm sure if I kept working house 1 I would end up with something cool eventually.. too many signs of a really old house at that site. Thank you for checking the video out.

Could be but it’s really thin... I was a little confused on it due to its characteristics. Thank you for commenting on the ID for that find... I will take a little time this weekend to check into that find some more. Thanks for tuning in to check out the video. Take care.

@@squarenailsquirrel9638 it's the cladding off of a clad quarter

It's a pleasure to make and share these videos... I'm just glad you and other folks are out there actually watching them. Thank you very much for checking them out.

Thanks. It was nice getting out with other diggers and experience the hunt together. I hadn’t been in that part of the state much other than by the interstate so it was nice to check it out. Thanks on the storms.. it got pretty bad here on Sunday... just after I got home from my first equinox hunt. It’s actually uploading on the computer right now. Thanks for checking my videos out... take care.

Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. I like to portray the site with the maps so everyone knows whats going on where I am digging. Thank you for checking the video out.

Thank you very much Garnet 🙂 and I’m glad that you enjoyed it. It was a fun hunt getting out with other detectorists... that’s actually something I’ve only done a handful of times.

Thank you! It's a lot of fun just locating the house and then you get to metal detect it... I really like both. The local really helped out, he even had pictures to show us which on the next trip out I will share some if they are ok with it. Thank you for checking the video out.

@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Wonderful, can't wait!

Thank you.. I try my best with these to make them decent to watch. Thank you for joining in to check it out.
