    you wouldve loved my grandparents basement. after they passed my old man and I moved in and sold our old house because we wanted to keep the property in the family. I went through stuff in the basement and found an old cigar box. 20 pre 1925 Quarters, a literal hand full of mercury dimes, few buffalo nickels stack of half dollars and silver dollars. all in that one box. pretty cool find.
    one of the coins is an old Liberty head V Nickel. it has an S mint mark! made us real happy to add to the collection.

    • @TheSilverFiend

    I stumbled across my own virgin ground in 2009 and have been hunting it to this day 2015. So far I've found approximately 3000 coins dating from 1880 to 1958. No clads, not to mention relics, tokens, silver and gold rings. Maybe a once and a life time hunt.

    I know of about another 2 dozen silvers including a 1906 Canadian silver nickle, and other silver halves and quarters. There was also a Flying Eagle cent found along with some other cool relics. I have no idea how many hours I put in at this site because I hunted it a LOT. Some were full day hunts, a lot were short hunts.

  • @wedighistory2233

    Well, I scrubbed it as good as I could, and lots of others scrubbed it too but I'm sure there are still coins there. Happy I got out what I could.

  • @henrys3629
    @henrys3629 11 років тому

    All those coins on one site. makes you wonder how many are still out there. I found a remnant of a bullet shell I think dated to the 20's from an old home ssite here. The china pieces I found dated back to 1859 when Oregon became a state.

    Sorry for not updating... Under the loop there was no sign of a mint mark. It also wasn't a 1922. It was a 1923 with damage to the 3 that made it look like a 2 to the naked eye. OH well, it was fun to hope for a couple days! I never used to care about my Wheaties, but now I have a reason to be careful with them.

  • @TheSilverFiend
    @TheSilverFiend  11 років тому

    Good luck! I hope to see some great videos from your tear-outs!

  • @TheSilverFiend
    @TheSilverFiend  11 років тому

    I need to go buy an inspection loop.There is a spot of corrosion right where the mint mark would be. It's a very crusty and heavily worn coin, but I should have a final answer tomorrow.

  • @TheSilverFiend
    @TheSilverFiend  11 років тому

    I'll have to check to see!!

  • @TheSilverFiend
    @TheSilverFiend  11 років тому

    From as much as I have seen of the others' finds, I don't think anybody found as much as me. I think there was about another 2 dozen silvers from the other hunters combined.

  • @TheSilverFiend
    @TheSilverFiend  11 років тому

    I think it was a Denver mintmark, but I couldn't find my magnifying lens when I was laying everything out. That's another one I will be checking closer.

    Saw you had found a Buck Jones fan club ring. An interesting fact. Buck Jones was killed in the 1942 Coconut Grove nightclub fire in Boston Mass. He had been a guest of some people who went to a college football game that day. After the game his group went to the club as part of a celebration. He had been sick with a terrible cold and really did not want to go, but decided it would be good. He was killed along with his agent and several others in his party. Before the disaster he signed several autographs for fans in the club. Those would be his last. Shortly there after a fire started in the basement lounge and toxic fumes filled the club. They would find his body still tangled in the railings of the vip area where special guests had been seated. I am a bit of an expert on this disaster and I was amazed you found such a cool relic.

    • @TheSilverFiend
      @TheSilverFiend  9 років тому

      Thanks for the info, I never knew he died in that fire. It is a famous one and still used in almost all fire science textbooks.

    Where do you think is the best places to go to find coins? I thought looking at the beach but I didn't really find anything there. I'm very new to metal detecting and I really got into it because it looks like fun just to find buried stuff! I live in a really small town and so far we have tried the back yard, a ball park, a dirt field and my dads grandparents old house. Most of what I find is nails or drink tops lol

    If you have a 1922 no D Lincoln cent, it is worth a bundle. Here is what the Grey Sheet, a conservative US price guide, lists as catalog value for a 1922 no D cent:
    worn: $600 US dollars
    average circulated: $850
    well preserved: $1600
    fully uncirculated: $22500

  • @Chevelle61265
    @Chevelle61265 9 років тому

    Absolutely awesome hunt! I wanted to ask your opinion on the etrac. Lately I have thought about getting one. I see a lot of guys swinging them on youtube and they seem like an awesome detector. I use a fisher 1266x and I love it except that it leaves me in the dark when it comes to knowing the depth of a target. I'm leaning towards the etrac because it has the electronic readout. Also on the etrac, can you tell the difference between pulltabs and nickels or gold? When I notch out Tabs I am missing all the nickels and gold. Thanks and HH

    • @TheSilverFiend
      @TheSilverFiend  9 років тому

      Chevelle61265 I think the E-Trac is a great detector! The screen info is good, but the tones are the most important aspect to learn. No, no machine currently available can separate aluminum from gold, the first one that can, could charge $20K and not keep them in stock!

  • @diannac638
    @diannac638 11 років тому

    I have a question regarding jewelry that you may find. Do you take it to a jeweler to turn in for cash? Or do you keep it just for your own finds? Thank you. Reason I ask is that I may start detecting.

    • @TheSilverFiend
      @TheSilverFiend  11 років тому

      Me personally, I keep it since I don't need the cash right now. I also don't find a lot of jewelry so it's not a big issue for me. I know some beach hunters who measure their yearly finds by the pound and most of them sell them for scrap value.

  • @jon74451
    @jon74451 11 років тому

    There is no 1909 cent with a D mint mark so if you in fact did see a mintmark then it was an "S" which is a nice coin but i would definitely check the back for the "VDB" initials at the 6 o'clock of the reverse. If you have both the S and VDB then you better go buy a lottery ticket lol
