The Hillsdale Boys
Приєднався 16 лип 2012
Here on The Hillsdale Boys UA-cam channel we metal detect the oldest field homesites we can find. We use our old township maps to locate homes that have long been gone and are just agricultural fields now. I so love the fields because years of plowing has kept the goodies from getting to deep, heck sometimes there right on the surface!!!! Our county and most of the surrounding counties first township maps date back to the 1850s. We choose these homesites then use later maps to determine there longevity. Believe it or not the likelihood of finding the real old coins and relics goes down drastically the longer the homes had life and were active. So making sure there gone by 1915 or 16 usually works the best . Using this method has put us on some of our oldest original pioneers homesites dating back to the 1830s !! We've gotten pretty good at it but don't take my word for it, swing in and have a look see for yourself ! Take care and HH 🙂👍

Metal Detecting With The Hillsdale Boys "IT NEVER GETS OLD" !

In this episode of The Hillsdale Boys, it's still early, but more bean fields are opening up. So I continue to rehit some old sites close to home. I grab Kerry on one particular hunt, and he finds a coin that NO ONE HAS EVER DUG IN THE HISTORY OF THE HILLSDALE BOYS ! We throw a bunch of names to it, looked on Google and it wasn't until late that night or the next day did we have someone on line...

In this episode, the beans were finally starting to come off close to home, and I was so ready to detect I could barely stand it ! Options were still limited, so I started rehitting past permissions and, of course, visited Condra in the process, but this time Kerry wanted to play in the iron pit, lol. So come see how it panned out in WE ALWAYS COME BACK TO CONDRA ! Bensound.com/royalty-free-mus...

On this week's episode, I finally go into detail about our famous, always giving, 7-year permission called Condra. Brandon got this permission way back when we first started detecting fields, and it's been a winner ever since. By no means does it give every time, but if you ever want a chance at finding old coins and your in the right state of mind, you stand a good chance visiting Condra. The ...

This week on The Hillsdale Boys, I detected a sidewalk tear out in what I knew was an old part of town. In the past, whenever I'd see a sidewalk tear out, I'd always try and go and see what i can find, but I dont always do very well. I also like to go after dark so I don't draw too much attention. It's completely legal, but not everyone knows that, and there lies the trouble. I was expecting it...

This week on The Hillsdale Boys, Jerbob and I hit a gone by 1872 starter homesite. Some time in the 1860s, the home was rebuilt in brick about 100 yards south of where we were hunting.Thank goodness the alfalfa had been cut not to long prior to us showing up, because it was great swinging! Great coins, relics, and FUN were definitely found for our first hunt for fall 2023 ! So join us in: "A ME...

On this episode of The Hillsdale Boys, Speiser and I decided to investigate a long gone road permission just into Ohio that had a couple of houses along it. I'd recently found an even older map for my target areas of Ohio. It should start putting older coins and relics in our pouches from here on out. I love hunting the way out in the field, long gone, road situations. No road trash, and you're...

In this week's video, I bring Kerry along on another Ohio adventure. I wanted to do some more re-hitting of old permissions we only hit once 3 years ago. Re-hitting old permissions has been paying off BIG in the last year or so and I'm not stopping any time soon ! In the early days, we were one hit wonders and on to the next, so I have a Ton to do! On this day, we hunted all day and really had ...

In this episode of The Hillsdale Boys, I venture on my own one day after work to a spot Speiser and I hit 3-4 years ago in Ohio. I love hunting down there and don't do it enough. We only hit it once, but it was a rather loud site filled with can slaw, but we did find coins, so whenever I have this situation, I always go back. This particular site was on my 1874 map and gone by my 1904 map, so i...
Metal Detecting With The Hillsdale Boys THE OLD ALBION SCHOOLHOUSE !
Переглядів 4 тис.Рік тому
This week on The Hillsdale Boys, Kerry and I revisit an old one room schoolhouse site. The cool thing about this school is that it was in the exact same location since before our 1857 map until it was decommissioned in the 1950s ! Around here, that's not very common as they were so often moved by 1872. Most of the time, it isn't very far away but still moved. This is only the second time it's e...

This week on The Hillsdale Boys, I rehit a site WAY off the road ! The house shows up on my earliest map of 1857 and is gone by 1894, so it's an oldie !! It had probably been 5 or 6 years since we had been here, and we only hit it the one time ! So, with that kind of age and only hitting it once, you can see why I was so excited to get back to this site ! One can only imagine what it looked lik...

This week on The Hillsdale Boys, I rehit a field that we only hit once back in 2019 ! I remember that we did really well with JD popping a New Jersey copper and multiple largies ! Since it'd been so long, I stopped in and talked to the farmer and found 3 more homesites on his farm ! I quit there early that morning and met Kerry for a couple hunts in a different county but came back and finished...

As always, I drive with my maps open on my phone and noticed a long gone right across the rd to the north of the field I just hunted!

This week on The Hillsdale Boys, we'd gotten a stupid snowstorm ! I mean, like 10-12 inches that shut me down for a week or more ! In my travels though, I'd notice that the farther south I went, the less snow was on the ground. A weekend came around and I found myself with nothing to do and a powerful yearning to swing the detector. I'd found an old permission we had from a long time ago and ma...

I found a 1864 2 cent coin with sm motto in great shape and in the same hole I got a beautiful US union buckle .
Awesome, congrats ❤️
@4:50 its the pickup bail to a spin cast fishing reel.
Year of your seated? (Maybe I missed it)😋
I believe it was a 1854 . 😊👍
@@TheHillsdaleBoys Nice! Still looking but it's a lil tougher in Nebraska🙄
I so enjoy your channel, but I'm kinda jealous too. Keep it up
I cant wait for the fields to get picked! Best time of the year. New spot, picked beans, trees changing color, cool weather....its what dreams are made of!
Awesome finds guys!
Thanks Gwen... 😊👍
Great hunt congrats on your awesome finds God Bless and happy dirt fishin…Virgil
Cool stuff guys!
It's always fun to watch Kerry dig up stuff he dropped back during the civil war. Does he remember dropping any of it? 🤣 You guys are awesome and I love watching to see what you find in our little corner of the world. If I ever run into any of you guys, I'll have to share a couple of my crazy finds from around here too. I have 3 things from my last 30 years that I just never could figure out.
Hey he's not that old ! lol. Actually that man could out detect any of us on our best days, he's like the energizer bunny. He could go from sun up till sun down with me then leave a field at midnight on the other side of the state with Chandler and drive an hour and a half home,lol. He's amazing.... 🙂👍
wow the civil war token was in great shape and awesome to see saved ! Kerry was on fire 🔥! another great hunt and makes me ready for fall / winter digging again 😆🤙🏴☠️🇺🇸
Me too 🙂 thank you
Kerry was killin' it. Token looks like it was dropped yesterday. Maryland and Virginia are so dry we're gonna blow away. $8 a bale for friggin' hay !!! There's no grass. I miss your weekly posts. Thanks for this one. I always enjoy the variety of your finds.
Thanks Callie, it's every other weekend now. We're back just twice a month now. It's easier on me, lol.
those are some excellent sites and good research ! it paid off for yall and loved the skeleton key and commercial change token was killer ! i am from southern Illinois so not far from ya’ll. - Matt
Thanks Matt! 🙂
Hey Andy, I was going back and watching some of your videos, love all the coins you found, love the bull head. Was you using the sniper coil here and what advantage did it give you in the corn field?
Thank you,, yeah, I'm definitely a coin shooter. Yeah, it's the Nel Sharpshooter coil. It's 9.5 X 5.5, and it's absolutely perfect for the high iron, long gone field homesites.The depth is astonishing as well for such a small coil. Especially in corn stubble. Corn stubble is tuff because your swinging areas are small, the small coil really helps in that situation. The Sharpshooter is my full time coil.
let's go let's go treasure and adventure ✌👵
❤️
Great finds guys! Love the relics found in Michigan.
Thanks Ken 🙂
Awesome another great adventure and great finds congrats. 👍
Thank you 😊 👍
Great hunt love the slang ya use I use the same like cool beans n awesome sauce lol God Bless and happy dirt fishin.. Virgil
Thank you, Virgil !
Great vid! Fun watch!
Thank you 😊 👍
yes someone with a ATMAX
I love it, great power and surprising depth. EVEN WITH MY SMALL COIL !
👍👍
😊👍
Think I could join you guys on a hunt.
Nice hunt guys. Super cool finds. Congrats on the 2 cent and all the super old coins and relics all the best John
Thanks John 👍
Great finds today, gentlemen.
Thank you 😊
Just subbed to the channel! Some great finds lads. Thanks for a fun video. I do all of my metal detecting for my channel in Canada and have never seen one of those Lower. Canada commerce tokens found!
Thank you ! Yeah, both those Canadian coins were a first for any of us. Kerry's Canadian black Smith token and my Canadian early commerce token. It was fun.... 😊👍
I see Kerry finally retired the old Whites
He still has it and uses it, but he's definitely wanting to get as good with his Nox.
🤣 I'm still using a White's DFX for the last 22 years. I have a friend that says I've been using it so long, I should be able to tell the year of a coin before I even dig it.
Lol, that's how he is... I know he's had to make himself learn the nox. I'm sure since Whites went out of business, it's pushed him to learn something new. No better machine than the Mindlab 800 to do it on.
You guys are killers
Thank you 😊 👍
Cool hunt buddy God Bless and happy dirt fishin.. Virgil
Thanks Virgil 👍
Seems like every time I watch a video, there's early Indians and largies found- incredible! Well done!! And that Capped dime, worn or not- historic!!
Thank you, I search out the oldest of the old. Thankfully, in my area, I have good early maps.
Holy smokes, great finds, love that .20¢!!!!!!!!
Thank you 😊
Great finds! Does Kerry's button have very worn crossed Cannons on it?
sweet Cap bust dime. 1st year Indians have no shield on back, since its the only year like that they are easy to id. You said no fatties but finding a 64 and 65 you are definitely right on fatty cuff. Love the videos brother.
Nice. Good stuff. I like using my AT-MAX with the Reaper coil on large areas.
Think I could join you guys on a hunt or two
Thats a Henry rifle shell
Potty mouth.
That brothel largie is a huge bucket lister!! Congrats.
Fuuuuuck me. Capped bust dog.
And a brothel token fml.
Awesome another great hunts and congratulations on your finds. 👍
👍👍
Great finds.
AWESOM HUNT! Thank you for sharing..can't wait for next weeks!! Just wish we had feilds like that in Mississippi.
Cool hunt. Awesome content! Keep em coming 👍
Wow !! couple nice finds. This spot always does you proper.
Great video...glad to see new video..when can we look for another? Soon I hope..Happy Hunting
Busy weekend, I'll post one in a few mins. When u get home.
Didnt know that there was such a thing as a 20 cent piece , congrats Andy......
Neither had I, lol
👍👍
👍
You must have small hands... The pennies look like half dollars when you have one on your fingers for the payoff foto.... Success and good luck to you guys!!!
Thanks Philip! Like my new intro? Lol 😊 I saw your first comment... yes I'm crazy about the early American coinage. I'm a definite coin shooter. That's why I made the intro and extros a celebration of coins. I like it. Take care and good luck to you as well.
You don't have anything to apologize for... Good watching 🙏☝️😊
You don't have anything to apologize for... Good watching 🙏☝️😊
😊👍
25 yrs of detecting this is only the 2nd one i have seen dug.
Like I said, I didn't even know they existed. That site has been amazing. So hard to hunt now( cuz of iron), but its so worth it if you mentally prepare for it.
I didn’t know a 20 cent piece existed. But shoot I’m right across the boarder in Ohio. Mainly permissions in Fulton and Williams counties. I do have some huge permissions right across the boarder in Michigan I haven’t hit yet. I should probably hit those before you guys do. Or maybe just let you join in on the fun.
I hadn't either, lol. You can do that ! 😉👍
If we haven't already, lol
