    Wow! What a great day of metal detecting! You make me want to go out and buy a metal detector!

    I have watched your hunts for a good while now and you have paid your dues in full - you deserved all of the fruits of this hunt. You have kept going when the pickings were thin and few but you never gave up, l have the feeling this is just the start of truly wonderful hunts and thank you for bringing us along for this one. Best of luck in future hunts.

      Thanks! That means a lot. I get out once, maybe twice a week to hunt. So finding a place like this is a dream come true!

    WOW! I must say, I started metal detecting in 81 to 83, and must admit if I found what you did I would say that it was the best day I had ever had. Glad that it happened to someone. Thanks for the video. Am disabled and don't go out and hunt like I would like to and am in Utah. Not a long term history to find great coins. I know what you found is possible and hope that some day I may have a great day like that. Thanks for the video. Would like to see an up date on the dates of the wheat pennies. Thanks Sam

    Congrats on having such a wonderful bunch of finds! Looks like most of the modern stuff is being found by someone who doesn't have an e-trac! LOL. I'm sure you will be going back. Should be lots more deep signals after some heavy rains too. Congrats on your first barber half and all the others too. I really enjoyed watching the video. Thanks for sharing and HH, Dave.

    The reason those squirrels were pissed off is because squirrels tend to bury their acorns and other nuts around their territory for winter. They thought you were digging them up. :P

Basically I created a template that contains my intro (beamdigger presents....metal detecting with an e-trac/at-pro) and the outro (thanks for watching). I then just drag all my clips in between and trim them down. Hope you get some videos up soon...I love watching other detectorists!

    Hey fellow Iowan! I'm new to detecting & have never done it before. I'm super intrigued with finding antiques. That being said, can you suggest what detector a newbie should get without breaking bank? I want something good quality, but since I've never done it before - I don't know if it's a hobby I will keep up on yet.

      w rice why is it bad to rub the coins? does it damage them?

    • @THing4CSA
      @THing4CSA 8 років тому +1

      Good question! The answer is YES! I was in a Treasure Hunting (TH'ing) club in Sterling , Virginia and about 15 years ago three of our members founds a buried clay pot that had been plowed up and the plow spread 20+ gold coins around an area about 50 feet by 50 feet. One of the first coins found was a US $5.00 gold coin and the guy that found it rubbed the dirt off to see the date. These coins were all of uncirculated (UNC) so they had very little to no wear on them. The coin was taken in to see what he could get for it and was informed that his several thousand dollar coin was now only worth several hundred as it had a lot of scratches on it. He was one of the first Treasure Hunters (TH'ers) in our group that explained the real issues with rubbing coins that were fresh out of the ground. He now wears the coin around his neck in a bezel. So yes rubbing a coin can cause damage . Good luck to all and Happy 2017! ;-)

    • @wackyrice1
      @wackyrice1 8 років тому

      rubbing sets micro scratches into the metal, and can devalue it some, depending on the coin. Always best to avoid rubbing if at all possible.

    Well worth saving the brass you find to sell as scrap; it adds up. Many detectorists here in the UK also scrap 20th century bronze coins (the equivalent of your wheaties).

    @mamasgonecreating1967 8 років тому

    Great hunt. I love the "family" of barbers. You could really tell you were excited. Are churches private property? If so, how do you go about getting permission? I know in Iowa we can not do state parks. Only the beaches and only at designated times. When you are doing parks, are they county or city? and how do I find out the rules for Polk County? What little info I find on line, seems to conflict a little.

    • @had2galsinthebooth
      @had2galsinthebooth 8 років тому

      Call the nearest park and recreation department, they can tell you who to contact for the area you want to know about. They should at least know whether an area is state/county/city.
