Those are wheel weights that are used on Mag wheels , they stick on as you see they also fall off . In the 1970's we started to put 200 m.p.h. tape over them to slow this from happening. LOVE your smile !!
Thanks for stopping by this evening Andy. 🙂 I really do love the hunts with lots of targets and variety, so the fairgrounds ended up being pretty cool.🍀
The bleachers ended up being such a heartbreaker. It looked like they just sat on dirt, but once I got under there I realized there was concrete with rebar in it. 😭😭😭
Good videos Gin. You're a very pleasant and easy to watch lady. Thanks for the shares. I thought we were on our way and then last night 3 to 4 inches of snow and 17 degrees. Bummer. Ground froze up again. Oh well. Again "THANKS"
When you came across those beautiful eyes and that pretty smile you know you have found the most precious treasure Mike's metal detecting worthwhile have a blessed day this is Bobby
As I start watching the video I get this Hummmm moment. That sure looks familiar. I hunted there 11-28-2020. I hit the tot lot and ball fields and it has been well hunted in the past. I moved to the same area where you hunted with similar results and a lot of trash. Met a lady walking her dogs so I spent a lot of time just playing with the pups. All in all I had a fun hunt. I ended up moving and ended the days with over $25 in clad and little bling. Fun video, thanks for sharing...
Holy smokes - you got a lot of clad! I’ve never found that much in one day. Maybe you were there right after the fair had been in town? It’s a fun spot and seems to stay busy.
The metal weight strip as you called it are lead stick-on wheel weights used to balance aluminum truck and car wheels from the inside of the back of the wheel. Regular lead wheel weights are held on by a metal clip that either won't work on those types of wheels or the customer doesn't want the weights showing on the outside of the wheel. I don't know if they still use them or not. We used them back in the late 70's and 80's when I was an auto mechanic.
Great video LG, if no-one has posted yet, the mystery items have been produced by a holesaw drill bit. The centre hole is from a 3/8 or 1/2 inch pilot drill and the outer circle is from the holesaw. The jagged edges are where the holesaw rips through the final thickness of the aluminum plate. Love the finds. Lokking forward to some more of your videos. Cheers from Australia
It is always fun joining you when you bring us along on your adventures. Judging from your finds, that place has not been detected very much, if at all. You have a very high chance of finding some old silver coins there. That lock plate is a very nice find!
I found you Lucky Gin while channel surfing on Sat. 04/09/2022. I enjoyed your fairground treasure hunt. You have nice content and a clear crisp sounding voice. Thanks for sharing. From Tampa Bay Florida, USA.
@@LuckyGin P.S. if you come to the west coast of Florida? There are many state parks and beaches to hunt on...Clearwater ,St.Pete beach, Treasure island , and Fort Desoto Beach and Camp ground. in the Tampa Bay Florida region and alittle farther south is Sarasota, Venice, and on down to Fort Myers and Sanibel island light houe beaches. Many are full of people year round. Sure would love to hunt with you hint hint if you come to Tampa Bay Florida.
I’d love to find some old pictures for that area but there doesn’t seem to be much so far. Very remote and sparsely settled. I’ve been researching old maps of the area via library of congress and there sure isn’t much.
Great hunt for sure! cool. It always pleases me to see a metal detectorist back-fill and properly re-instate a dug hole. It's one of the things that sets a true hunter apart from the 'also rans'. Anti-tracking is an art in itself. Sloppiness is an affliction..You set some great examples for others in our hobby. Credit where credit is due. 75's are excellent machines, always wiil be! Class is ageless!
I applaud your patience there. I can't see myself detecting for long at the fairgrounds near me. After about the 83rd pull tab and a few crumpled up Schlitz cans from the '70's, I'd call it a day.
Hello Lucky Gin. Those weight strips are used on Pine Wood Derby cars. The segments are glued to the small wooden cars that are not to exceed 5 oz in weight, total. My Son's an Eagle Scout and he's had his fair share of Pine wood Derby races during his Boy Scout years. They don't look like any tire weights that I've seen. I'm currently using my Nox 600 and the Nokta Makro Legend I just received a week ago and still learning. I do, however, still have my Fisher F70 that I will not part with, because it has found me many great treasures. Happy Hunts. _/
Your two unknown discs were part of old style fuses. When they blew out some people would unscrew the fuse and put a penny in there to conduct current and screw old fuse in to hold penny in place...Many house fires started because of that practice..
Hey just found your channel and I am enjoying your adventures! I have a fairgrounds close to my home it’s been hit hard since the 1970’s the good stuff is harder to find! Keep on searching !!!!!
Hi I met Gin in Lake Tahoe While me and the wife were out on a pleasant Date. Gin was doing what she does best Looking for valuable objects in the sand on the beach. I want to say thank you Gin you were very nice to speak with me in regards to what you were doing. You are my 1st UA-camr I've ever met In person wow.
Your little lead weight strip are used to balance car and truck wheels...the two aluminum pieces look to be the fall down from someone using a hole saw to drill through some aluminum plate. The center hole would be frome the guide bit and the thin flange around it would bewhere the hole saw punched through the piece of aluminum...
Thanks for taking a crack at those items Dave. The metal pieces seem to be like hollow doughnuts if that makes sense; like they are formed with hollow space in them.
The things you found that breaks apart looks like segmented lead weights that I used to get with remote control airplanes to balance them...they're not to balance tires...those are curved with a steel clasp on the back and sre not segmented...tire weights have to be cut you can't bend them by hand
Those weights are used for pine box derby cars too. Being a fair ground, near those tables, they may have been prepping cars for a race. My kids have raced them and we have the same size weights for their cars.
You’re welcome. Enjoyed your channel. Watching your video made me miss my mountain home in VA and TN. I just recently purchased a Equinox 800 and learning it. I am excited to learn it and doing some exploring. Looking forward to seeing more of your finds. Happy hunting!!
I started watching metal detecting like this a few years ago and thought it would be fun. Now you are getting me fired up…about metal detecting too 😁, I may need to start shopping for a detector and the parts to get going! Great video.
Nice hunt! I'll also be in NC next weekend (flying in from Seattle) so will say hi if I see you. I was at Digstock NY in Oct and was really happy to see so many female detectorists there!
i metal detected my local fairgrounds in western ky back in 2008/09 and found 29 silver dimes and 2 silver quarters. most of the finds were under the grandstands in the heavy trash where the ones before me refused to hunt. just using my mxt with my “hockey puck” coil. there’s still silver out there if you’re willing to hunt the trashy areas. have fun
I tried detecting under the bleachers in this video, but there was a ton of rebar. You have me wondering if my sniper could might be able to slip in there. 🙂🍀
I'm a detectorist also and think you are lots of fun to watch. I think you should consider a full-size shovel to help dig your plugs before you wear out your wrist joints trying to push in that trowel. Plus you can dig a plug much faster even one-handed without having to set the detector down while digging.
Oh I couldn’t agree with you more. Every point you made is logical and makes perfect sense. The trowel is so hard for me to use and I end up with blisters all over my palms. However, If I’d used a shovel in this video, you wouldn’t believe how much time I’d have to waste managing troll comments from those who consider using a shovel inappropriate.
@@LuckyGin I use a real skinny bladed D handled one that is commonly used by us and is fairly discrete. But you do have the naysayers out there. Watch out for carpal tunnel!
I was gonna say the lead weights are probably used for tire balancing. Garages carry strips of them in their inventory. I have been detecting for 12 years and it's my fav hobby, actually started out with a Fisher F4...great detector. I like your channel because you show live digs and everyday finds, and you show real joy in doing so. Subscribed today too !
The strips of weights she found are "stick-on" wheel weights. They are used on "mag" wheels that don't have the traditional lip that most OEM wheels have for hammer-on weights. These stick-on weights have a strong glue so they will stick to the backside of the wheel, out of sight, for long periods of time. But, like anything else man-made, these do fail and fall off. For that reason, car owners should have their tires rotated and re-balanced yearly.
Great hunt Gin... I have the same finds bag I like it. Put safety pin in so it wouldn't slide around. Just started a new permission for a cpl hrs just to test. And found my first thimble. Look forward to next hunt. Be safe and dig on.🍀
Congrats on the first thimble Ronnie! 🙌. I haven’t found one of those yet - sounds like your new permission might be a good one! I’ve figured out that I can put the bag between my belt loop and the d-ring on my tactical belt and it keeps it in place. 🙂
Those round thick items are the cuts from a hole saw. As the blade nears the back side it tears away hence the flange of thin metal. Someone was cutting a hole through a plate of aluminum.
Great hunt Gin! Hope you get to go back to the Fairgrounds soon. I had one of those finds bags, mine kept sliding around so I got a different one. Have a great weekend, God bless!
The weights are for balancing model airplanes. Putting weights on them will help balance the center of gravity and help stabilize the plane. It makes sense you would find them there as someone was probably flying a remote controlled airplane at the field.
Wow, there seem to be lots of uses for these little weights. I’ve learned a lot about them since sharing this video. Thanks for sharing about their use for airplanes. 🙌🍀
I found a solid gold (14k) ring at a baseball diamond one time. It was on the “inside” or home plate side of the backstop. You know, where a player (catcher) is throwing the ball all the time, or it could have been from someone sliding in to home plate. So always check those out. Also check out the infield and outfield, but the infield probably has a greater likelihood of hitting pay-dirt. And as we know, any age group can borrow the use of the ball diamond, even at an elementary school.
The tire weights are also used by radio controlled aircraft, put at the front or rear to get the correct centre of gravity. So don’t know if people fly or have flown in that area at all. Could be an explanation why they are there.
Nice little hunt Gin. Had to laugh when you pulled that big ole magnifier out hahaha if the sun went thru that it would be like a death ray haha. Weather looked great and a nice variety of finds. Thanks for taking us along. HH....Jon
😂😂😂 I’m channeling my inner Sherlock Holmes, don’t you know?!😂😂😂 Its sure to be THE metal detecting accessory of the season.😜. Thanks for stopping by to share the latest Jon.🍀
Some nice finds once again Gin. You seem to be doing very well with your new machine. If I were you, I’d definitely hit that tot lot I can see behind you over near that football field. Then hit under the bleachers where I’m sure people drop all kinds of things. Good luck next weekend in NC👍🍀
I’m afraid the tot lot was a bust, and the bleachers a heartbreaker. They had concrete with rebar under them. 😣😣😣. Thanks for the wishes for the trip - hoping to find some super cool stuff while I’m there.🍀🍀🍀
They must have had a demolition derby on that ground. Those two pieces with the hole through it are from the bottom of a car radiator. The square piece that looks like a key hole is a side molding clip from a car.
Hi gin, the algorithm brought me here.... I do some detecting with a £30 detector here in England. I'm lucky being in an old garrison town / pow camp and find 160 year old shell casings and Victoria pennies regularly. We find musket balls from the English civil (1640's) war nearby too ! Happy hunting 👋🏻
I’ve just started getting into metal detector videos. You are by far the easiest on the eyes! 🤩
you betcha bubba,she is
Indeed she is!!
@@RichardCockerill must be the camera man :)
the strange one is lead wieghts for tire balancing ;)
inner rim at that
That guy who lost that needs a wheel balancing.
You BEAT ME TO IT!! ✌🏼😜
They fall off lots
Girls look best in blue jeans just saying.. 🇨🇦

Looks like a fund day. So many different things to find at fairgrounds. The strips are wheel weights for a vehicle wheel to balance it.
Thanks for stopping by this evening Andy. 🙂 I really do love the hunts with lots of targets and variety, so the fairgrounds ended up being pretty cool.🍀
Weights are used to get jockeys weight up to where it supposed be
Pull tabs! Thats all I ever find. My yard is loaded with em. I guess they did a lot of partying. That skeleton key hole is cool.
Ha - you bought the party house! Too bad they didn’t loose silver coins while drinking. 🍀
😂 they must have been drunk when they back filled the front and back yard. All kinds of sh!t.
Fairgrounds are awesome because they have seen so much traffic over the years! Thanks for sharing!
Yes! I had no idea until I gave this one a go. Lots of fun! Thanks for stopping by.🙂🍀
Gotta love those high traffic areas for finding that clad. Hope you hinted under those bleachers as well. Thanks for another great video.
The bleachers ended up being such a heartbreaker. It looked like they just sat on dirt, but once I got under there I realized there was concrete with rebar in it. 😭😭😭
Gotta say the best looking metal detector on UA-cam for sure.
It's just a middle of the road machine, now the detectorist on the other hand!!
Well thank you.🥰🍀
Good videos Gin. You're a very pleasant and easy to watch lady. Thanks for the shares. I thought we were on our way and then last night 3 to 4 inches of snow and 17 degrees. Bummer. Ground froze up again. Oh well. Again "THANKS"
Well thank you, Denny. I’m afraid your snow is over here now putting the big freeze on my weekend fun too.🥶
@@LuckyGin it'll pass soon. Just that I work, so now I have to wait. 🙂
I love your wrap up at the end how the coins are laid out with dates written out, keep going strong!
Thank you - I appreciate that.🙂🍀
I love hunting old fair grounds. So many different relics and coins. Great job! Blessings!
This was my first try at one and it really was a lot of fun. 🙂🍀
Looks like the strips of lead weights are the kind used for balancing tires (wheels) on cars. They stick on to the inside of custom rims.
Thanks Wes. I appreciate you stopping by my channel.

Thanks Steven. I appreciate you visiting my channel.🙂🍀
Great day of detecting. Lots of coin signals is exciting even if there wasn't any old ones.
Definitely - makes the day so much more interesting when there’s lots of signals.🍀
The two round objects with the hole in the center looks like they have been cut out with a hole saw. The center hole being from the pilot drill.

You found a section of wheel weights just after the 1980 quarter, they are used to balance tires.
Thanks - I appreciate you stopping by my channel.🙂🍀
Wow, been metal detecting about 45 years and never saw such a beautiful treasure as u. Good hunting pretty angel!
Awww, what a lovely comment. Thank you!🥰
Old fairgrounds and gathering parks always produce great old finds Good luck 🍀
Finding the old key escutcheon gives me hope there could be other old items there too.🙂🍀
I'm pretty sure I lost that quarter there in 1972 at an Alice Cooper concert.
I applaud your patience there. I can't see myself detecting for long at the fairgrounds near me. After about the 83rd pull tab and a few crumpled up Schlitz cans from the '70's, I'd call it a day.
I think it’s more dogged determination and stubbornness if I’m honest. 😂🍀
I'll go "detectin'" all day. Have places all ready mapped out in me head, haven't even gotten my metal detector yet!✌🏼😜
The piece you found that bends.. @ 4:15. Looks like they are wheel weights to balance wheels and tires.
Thanks Michael. I appreciate you stopping by my channel.🙂🍀
The 1/4 oz. Weights are used for balancing RC aircraft. They usually have an adhesive backing
Thanks JD! I appreciate you visiting my channel.🍀

The keyhole makes me optimistic that there could be other old things waiting to be found. 🙂 🍀 A very Happy St Patty’s day to you too!🍀
Gin, That set stuff you find are tired balance lead weight. You can find tons of them in any tire shop.
Thanks Alex!🍀
Those flat nuts you have just after the wheel waits are for holding valve stems in tubeless rims. I would say they changed a lot of tires right there.
Thanks Pete. I appreciate you weighing in on my mystery finds. 🙂🍀
Tire weights are so random at a fairground! Love the Key hole plate!!
I thought so too, but somebody pointed out they use them For soapbox derby cars. That makes sense. Very excited about the key escutcheon.🙂🍀
could be off of a demo derby car
the weight strips are wheel weights for when you get your tires balanced on your truck.

@ 4:15 that looks like a strip of lead weights like you'd use to balance a tire. They should have their weight embossed on each one of them.
They sure did, and I’ve been amazed to learn all the different things they are used for.🙂

I think they're called J hangers because of what they look like.

The lead bars are for wheel weights. They need to be melted and molded into wheel weights. The lock escutcheon is pretty neat‼️
The strips of weights she found are "stick-on" wheel weights. They are used on "mag" wheels that don't have the traditional lip that most OEM wheels have for hammer-on weights.
These stick-on weights have a strong glue so they will stick to the backside of the wheel, out of sight, for long periods of time. But, like anything else man-made, these do fail and fall off. For that reason, car owners should have their tires rotated and re-balanced yearly.
It’s for re- enforcement of tarp connections, rivets and backed washers.

Beautiful Smile & a Beautiful Woman! I wish you the best of luck with your findings! ;)
Best wishes ☺️

At 4:00 min mark those strips are stick on wheel weights for rims.
Thanks, David. I appreciate you stopping by my channel.
Weight strip is inner wheel weights use to balance wheels
Those strips are lead car wheel balancing weights. The numbers indicate how much weight per square
Thank you - I appreciate you stopping by my channel.🙂
Looks like you are maybe in Eastern Tennessee. I detect in Nashville area. Good Hunt.
Close; Cumberland plateau. Thanks for stopping by my channel, Russ.🙂🍀
Thanks for sharing and have a safe trip.
Thank you, Bernie. Hopefully I’ll have some great new adventures to share from this trip. 🙂🍀
I had to comment because you got a follower just from your accent alone. Love it. I'm from Tennessee too and wish you well.
Thanks so much John.🙂 I appreciate you stopping by my channel - it’s always nice to hear from people here in my home state.🙌🍀
Yep, stick on lead wheel weights. Someone had a rough ride home that evening. It’s good to see another Tennessean on here detecting.
Thanks for dropping by my channel, Jamie! There don’t seem to be many detectorists in Tennessee, so it’s nice to see you here.🙂🍀
Those are old tape on weight strips for tire balancing. I used those in 80’s and 90’s
Thanks Pete. I appreciate you stopping by my channel.🙂🍀
They are lead weights that you put on a rim when you balance a tire
Those round thick items are the cuts from a hole saw. As the blade nears the back side it tears away hence the flange of thin metal. Someone was cutting a hole through a plate of aluminum.
Interesting - thanks for sharing the info about that.🙂🍀
Lots of fun, Gin. That looked like a great location. Happy hunting at Digstock! Make great finds!
Thank you Steve - I’m hoping for some bucket listers!🍀🍀🍀🍀
Great hunt Gin. Congratulations on your finds. Thanks for sharing. 🤙🏼Chris 🤙🏼
Thanks so much, Chris. I appreciate you stopping by.🙂🍀
@@LuckyGin we Volunteers look out for each other. 👊🏻
Great hunt Gin! Hope you get to go back to the Fairgrounds soon. I had one of those finds bags, mine kept sliding around so I got a different one. Have a great weekend, God bless!
Thank you. I’ve figured out that I can put it on my tactical belt and through my belt loops, so that keeps it in place between the belt loops. 🙂🍀
@@LuckyGin hhmmm..maybe i should have bought a Tactical belt!
The weights are for balancing model airplanes. Putting weights on them will help balance the center of gravity and help stabilize the plane. It makes sense you would find them there as someone was probably flying a remote controlled airplane at the field.
Wow, there seem to be lots of uses for these little weights. I’ve learned a lot about them since sharing this video. Thanks for sharing about their use for airplanes. 🙌🍀
I found a solid gold (14k) ring at a baseball diamond one time. It was on the “inside” or home plate side of the backstop. You know, where a player (catcher) is throwing the ball all the time, or it could have been from someone sliding in to home plate. So always check those out. Also check out the infield and outfield, but the infield probably has a greater likelihood of hitting pay-dirt. And as we know, any age group can borrow the use of the ball diamond, even at an elementary school.
Thanks for the tip, James. I haven’t tried a sports field like that yet.🙂
those bendable weights are actually stick on wheel weights for balancing tires
Thanks Michael.🙂
The tire weights are also used by radio controlled aircraft, put at the front or rear to get the correct centre of gravity. So don’t know if people fly or have flown in that area at all. Could be an explanation why they are there.
I’m not sure either Simon, but it’s possible. Thanks for sharing your knowledge about these. 🍀🍀
Nice little hunt Gin. Had to laugh when you pulled that big ole magnifier out hahaha if the sun went thru that it would be like a death ray haha. Weather looked great and a nice variety of finds. Thanks for taking us along. HH....Jon
😂😂😂 I’m channeling my inner Sherlock Holmes, don’t you know?!😂😂😂 Its sure to be THE metal detecting accessory of the season.😜. Thanks for stopping by to share the latest Jon.🍀
Some nice finds once again Gin. You seem to be doing very well with your new machine. If I were you, I’d definitely hit that tot lot I can see behind you over near that football field. Then hit under the bleachers where I’m sure people drop all kinds of things. Good luck next weekend in NC👍🍀
I’m afraid the tot lot was a bust, and the bleachers a heartbreaker. They had concrete with rebar under them. 😣😣😣. Thanks for the wishes for the trip - hoping to find some super cool stuff while I’m there.🍀🍀🍀
I need to know what pouch that is. I really like the looks of it.
Hi Greg, I have a complete equipment list with Amazon links in my description. 🙂🍀
Gin, you have to get the 6 inch elliptical coil. Especially in trashy areas.
I’m going to be adding one soon. 🙂
They must have had a demolition derby on that ground. Those two pieces with the hole through it are from the bottom of a car radiator. The square piece that looks like a key hole is a side molding clip from a car.
You might be right about that. Maybe back in the day they had some kind of racing.
I was digging a local park one time and found like 7 dimes stacked. I’m thinking a kid may have buried them. Great video.
That’s kinda neat - that would definitely have you wondering.🙂
Hi gin, the algorithm brought me here.... I do some detecting with a £30 detector here in England.
I'm lucky being in an old garrison town / pow camp and find 160 year old shell casings and Victoria pennies regularly.
We find musket balls from the English civil (1640's) war nearby too !
Happy hunting 👋🏻
Sounds like you have a really great spot for hunting. 🙂🍀 Thqnks for visiting my channel - I’m glad the algorithm brought you by.🙌
The strips are lead weights used in balancing tires.
Thanks Gregory. I appreciate you stopping by my channel.🙂🍀
