My Best EVER?! STUNNING OLD COINS Metal Detecting A 1700s Site With The Minelab Manticore Stef Digs

- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- In this week’s episode, I’m back metal detecting in the woods at an untouched 1700s site that I found a few months ago... although, I guess I shouldn’t say it’s “untouched” now that I’ve been there so many times. However, it was certainly a new discovery when I first began metal detecting this colonial cellar! Today is all about some of the most STUNNING old coins I have EVER found! The Minelab Manticore brought it home once again… you have to see it to believe it! 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!

Thank you! Was an awesome day in the woods!
Awesome coppers and buttons for sure.
Thank you! 😊
Some beautiful coins this trip out Stef!!!
Thank you! Really lucked out!
Love the coppers and buttons! Looking forward to the next video from that spot! Cheers from Bridgeport!
Thank you! There’s so much more that has come out of there… you’ll think I have no idea how to metal detect a site properly, because every time I go back, there’s more! 😂
Holy moly that's incredible shape KG2! Great hunt
Thank you! It really is in ridiculous condition! 😂
Beautiful KG2
Thank you!
That KG2 is a beauty!!
Thank you! I have to agree, lol!
Congratulations Stef, proud to be a supporter of your channel. You are very good at explaining and identifying your finds. Love your. Videos. Scott
Thanks Scott, I appreciate that! The channel will continue as it has been for years - truckin’ right along with weekly videos (unless we don’t have power 😂).
Stef, congrats on your mile stone, 👏 state coppers were one of my favorites to find! Buttons like you said the military are the ones you want to find the most! This property you're searching at is definitely a honey hole! Keep up the digs. ✌️
Thank you! State coppers are always special… I found a REALLY exiting one here, but the video isn’t released yet. 😉
Great Video Stef! Congrats on the Coppers especially the CT. Awesome Day!
Thank you! I love that the CT is just… RED! 😆 Was a cool surprise!
5000!!! Big congrats ❤️ The coppers & buttons were ready to be found at that site. Happy hunting home-skillet ✌🏼❤️😊🍀
Thanks Nicole! That site has been such a gift, it only gets better from here somehow! 😳
Awesome job Stef! That KG2 is in amazing condition and congrats on the Connecticut!!
Thank you! Was a crazy awesome day!
Glad you went! It was awesome finds!
Thank you! The finds from that day are BETTER than today’s video - it’ll drop in around 4-5 weeks. 😊
Congratulations on that milestone and on to the next one!!
Thanks Chris! Took a while to reach that first big milestone, hopefully the next one will come even sooner! 😅
Lots of awesome finds Stef. Great detail on that KG2.
Thank you! Was an awesome day!
Awesome coppers. Great job
Thanks Mark!
Good hunt Stef. Congrats on the KG2 and your other big copper. An even bigger congrats on the 5K milestone. Well done. Take care mate 🦘🦘😁👍
Thanks Andrew! Was a great today - both today, AND that hunt! 😁
Amazing KG II - congrats!
Thank you! 😊
Awesome finds Stef wow wish we had that much history here in OZ 😊
Thank you! It really is amazing to live in New England!
Your coin knowledge on the fly is impressive. I have to google everything. Great hunt!
Enjoy your videos, just got the Manticore yesterday. Waiting for snow to melt to test it out.
Thank you! I only hunt 17th-18th century sites if I can help it, so I’ve learned a lot about colonial coinage as a result - it’s just fascinating! Awesome you got a Manticore! 🤘🏻
Here's to 10K! Great finds Stef- that KGII was Epic, in amazing condition. The Conn and gilded button were incredible as well- Congrats my friend!
Thank you! Feels nice to hit a milestone when I’ve just put out a video that I was excited to release! 😊
Hey Stef Great Hunt there. Congrats on your two Coppers. The first one Great details on it. Love all the Buttons you find. Some of the Buttons you find I won't find here. Keep them coming. Also A Big Congrats on 5000. You do a great job with your videos and I love your research you do to let the viewers like me know what you find. Take Care Stef.
Thank you so much, I appreciate that! I do like putting bits of education in the videos whenever I can - very rewarding. 😊
Thanx for the info about the 1749 coppers from the Mermaid ... I always wondered about this because all 10 of my KG II farthings are 1749 and many of the halfpennies are 1749 also. Someone from the metal detector club said a shipment of coppers came into Boston that year, but he didn't say the name of the ship. Thanks for sharing, Stef!
They’re cool coins, for sure! Knowing what ship the coin in your hand came over to America on is awesome.
Stef a large copper is on my bucket list
Hope you get one! 🤞🏻
No better feeling than stumbling onto a virgin site. You have yourself a colonial gold mine there Stef.
Thank you! I definitely do… up to double digit coppers here now, tough to come by that at one site in the woods!
Great site, Stef! That KG2 has some amazing details!
Thank you! I swear this place gets better every time I go! Not sure what that says about me as a detectorist… 🤔😂
@@StefDigs we have a couple spots like that as well. I chalk it up to soil conditions and how they change based upon the season.
That's a killer spot, ill bet you can't wait to get back. Awesome scores. Stay dirty 👍
Thank you! I must have another 4-5 videos from this site in the pipeline alone… I know I’m far from done there!
Great video nice coins keep hunting.
Thank you! 😊
I’ve been waiting for this one
You must’ve seen those coins on Facebook or Instagram… I always say, if anybody wants spoilers, they need only follow me on another platform. 🤷🏼😂
You Crack me up 😊
I’d say “I try,” but I really don’t… I’m just a goof. 😂
@@StefDigs haha awesome response
I've never seen any KG coin come out of the ground looking like that! I'm so used to seeing them worn I had forgotten there was text around the edge. 😂 How lucky you were to stumble across that place - I'm sure there are lots more amazing things for you to find! ❤
Thank you! That’s definitely one of my best KGIIs, certainly the best later head (1740-54) that I have! I dug a beautiful 1739 early head KGII maybe 4 years ago, and that one is the nicest early head I’ve got. Yup… that’s how often we find them up here! 😂 If it’s a colonial thickness, I usually assume it’s a KGII, lol! Often proven correct.
The round was looking piece could be a rivet back
Could be, although usually they’re just a solid round piece of brass versus having a hole. Then again it could be a different type of rivet that I’ve just never dug before. 🤷🏼
A M A Z I N G!! Congratulations on 5k SUBS!!!!
Thanks Ally! Nice milestone to hit! 😊
Yesss!!!
I'm baaaaack!
Nice work stef 👍 congrats on the 5k 🏁
Thank you! Was such a cool milestone to hit on an upload night! 😊
Man, loving the 1749 copper. What a pleasure to see your great finds on this virgin site. O, and especially to watch this and to dream while we have 3 feet of snow here in Canada. LOL,,,
Thank you! That really was one of the nicest coppers to come out of that site so far - and LOL! We’re at around 8” of snow, down from over a foot. 🤮
Amazing site! Great hunt and video as always! Congrats on all the goodies!
Thank you! I can’t believe how much this site STILL produces!
@@StefDigs just goes to show... no place is ever truly hunted out!!! Keep knocking em out!
@@billbertke7778 you know it! 👊🏻
Awesome CT copper 🏋🏻♂️
Thank you! I love that it’s shiny RED! 😆
@@StefDigs Ya pretty cool. It’s my home state copper, lol.
@@TheLandPirates1 hey, mine too! And found in CT. 😊
@@StefDigs I found a pretty nice one in Lyme last year, my first CT copper.
@@TheLandPirates1 awesome! I still haven’t found one with super nice details, lol. Best state copper I have is something upcoming from… you guessed it… this site. 😉
missed the video yesterday cause i was sick..7 1/2 of puking uhh
Oh nooooo! I hope you’re feeling better today!
i wish now i have a temp of 101.9 thank you@@StefDigs
@@williamstewart1378 ouch! Get better soon, hope you have the opportunity to get plenty of rest!
@@StefDigs thank you . Great video this week wow love them old coins and buttons.
I kept looking for the gold coins are you for real?
Maybe you could take a closer look at the thumbnail? That usually offers the viewer a clue as to what I find… 🤷🏼🤣
You need gokuu to give you your super powers kamaa maya
Hahaha, no superpowers needed... just a metal detector. 🤣
👍👍🙂
Hey hey! 😊
Do you use water on your finds? If you're using tap water that can discolor coins. I find it most common in nickels to turn bright red. Try distilled water. Happy Hunting!
Thank you! Nope, I generally won’t use water in the field unless it’s on silver (unless I announce that I’ve done so on a copper, and typically that’s reserved for farm field crust). That 2nd coin literally shined up to red with a toothbrush! I suspect fire damage, as I’ve found other fire-damaged relics and coins at this site.
