This past Saturday, September 16th, myself along with Quarter Hoarder, Dog Tag Doug, Nichola, and about 130 of our closest friends attended the DFA8 Hunt in Ashburnham, Massachusetts put on by Dirt Fishing Adventures. This was truly the most UNBELIEVABLE metal detecting event I’ve ever been to! Some of the old coins and extremely rare relics that came out of the ground were absolutely jaw-dropping, and although I did not end up digging much myself (per usual with metal detecting events, since I love to chat with everybody), I did manage to find a white whale of a bucket lister with my Minelab Manticore. This was a metal detecting adventure for the books! Enjoy!
I now sell metal detecting equipment through The Diggers Den! Be sure to reach out to me on Facebook Messenger (Stef Tanguay) or email (stefdigs@gmail.com) for assistance on selecting the most appropriate gear for you, as well as the best deals we have available!

Wow that look like a really fun day with everybody.. I'm not really into detecting events.. I'm more of a lone-wolf., but you look like y'all had a good time... You're pretty knowledgeable Steph .. good luck hunting out there ,watch out for them snakes 😂

@wicked_digger 11 месяцев назад

@StefDigs it definitely seems that way! The jacksonian button is awesome too, I absolutely love those buttons! I have one with a ship on it. No doubt, that place with short cut grass would be even more amazing.

@StefDigs 11 месяцев назад

@@wicked_digger I would love to go back when the grass is short if the farmer will invite Brian back for another hunt! I love Jacksonian buttons, too. The one I found retained almost all gilding and it’s the horse and rider variety.

@DirtDevilDetectn 11 месяцев назад

Steph, I spoke to the owner and he mentioned opening up next year for a two day hunt with camping on site. BTW, I'm the guy walking out of the field in the beginning as you were walking in and I said " look at that, Stef Digs in the house "

@StefDigs 11 месяцев назад

@kimetherington2252 11 месяцев назад

Great day hunting with friends, old and new! Lots of treasures found, GW, my opinion was the find of the day! But WOW, what an incredible day for artifacts and coinage, buttons, bells, snake! Looked like a good time had by all! Til next time, keep on digging...😊

@StefDigs 11 месяцев назад

Thank you, it was such a blast! I’m just glad I managed to squeak in a little bit of digging, because I chat a LOT - put me, Jason, and Doug together, and very few holes are dug between the 3 of us, lol! Find of the day was a toss-up between the GW and MA militia button in my opinion, I believe the latter is rarer because I’ve never seen one dug… but a GW is iconic!

I told Debbie I wanted to go as her Detexpert if she would be attending, but she can’t even make it due to one of the competitions landing on the same weekend.

I only hung out with him once, but that evening (even through beer goggles, lol!), I could tell what an intelligent, humble, accomplished and strong person he was. RIP Joe! ❤️ Forever missed!

@StefDigs 10 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for watching! I’ve never found a chain cent, but I’ve found an 1800 Draped Bust half dime which is around the same mintage (40,000). The GW in this video is probably worth $1,000+, tough to say as I haven’t seen it cleaned up (it was cleaned up). I found the variety with the eagle - it’s pretty worn but the shank is intact; and I saw several examples of that one sold between $1,000-$2,000.
