ONE MORE TIME! The LAST Metal Detecting Adventure At My BEST Permission! Minelab MANTICORE Stef Digs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- In this week’s episode, I went metal detecting for what might be the LAST trip to my BEST permission. It took 5 years, but I think I’ve cleaned this site up pretty well, especially now that I’ve gone back a couple of times with the Minelab Manticore. Of course, there are always frost heaves and landscaping changes that could bring me back for another adventure... time will tell! This was a day filled with Victorian relics and coins, unlike the typical colonial finds you see me dig. I felt a bit like a fish out of water, but at the end of the day, I came home with a handful of “ground antiques,” as always! Enjoy!

Congratulations to the winner of the finds box! The V Nickle is nice, as for the relics a hodgepodge of sorts. A very large musket ball. You hit the nail on the head when you said this place was thining out. I still think there's always a chance for a bucket lister that can still be buried there! Keep on digging, Stef, and I'll catch you on the next. ✌️ 😊
Thank you! Yes, definitely thinning out - it’s funny, the first few times I went there I mostly found modern junk. After a few more visits, I began finding colonial and Victorian relics and coins. A LOT of videos were filmed here - can’t complain! 😄
Congratulations to the ultimate box winner!
Love that tiny buckle!!
Thank you! Definitely a sweet little buckle! 😊
Steph.... I so stoked. I just got my Manticore. I worked my side hustle hard to build up the money. And the detector shop had them on super sale. So happy to get it. Now to get hunting and find some relics. 😊😊
Right on! You’re gonna love it! 🤘🏻
I was new to detecting in 2018 when I found my first dog tag. A 1918. Beginners luck. Now they are among my favorite things to find.
That is cool! I’ve got so many now - they’ll look nice together! My favorite is a 1930 dog license I found on my property with a bulldog on it. I’ve found 190- tags, but the bulldog stands out.
@@StefDigs I uh, um. Well...
I have 6...😁🤔.
It's tough out here in Shasta county, California.
@@jamesdukes4401 I’ll spare you my number then, lol! I actually haven’t counted them all, but I have an estimate. So many came from this site - it was once an olive grove, wonder if the farmers just absolutely adored dogs? 🤔 If so, they’re my people! 😂
@@StefDigs I was reading that you have over one hundred ninety. Now after rereading, I think it's a date 190X tags.
@@jamesdukes4401 hahahaha, noooo! 🤣 1900s I meant, as in 190-something, lol! I’m estimating here, but around 50 that aren’t modern. The modern aluminum rabies tags get tossed or returned to the owner if I’m on a standing homesite permission.
Stef,
Thanks for the video and chance of winning the Ultimate Finds Box. Congrats to the winner. 👍
It’s tough leaving a spot you’ve detected for so long. When we moved to western NC I had to leave a couple of great CW spots that I had detected for over 5 years. Now they are covered with new houses. 😢
Thank you! I can always go back here - it just has proven to be “on” some days and “off” the others. If I’m digging, I’m working via filming, so I have to stay on hot sites. One of the few downsides of making videos!
Congratulations to the central PA dude ! Steph , your channel rocks 🎸. I look forward to seeing your digs !. 💘
Thank you! I do my best! 😄
Congratulations to the winner!!!❤🎉
I’ll say “thanks” for them, hah! Can’t wait til they see it!
Thanks for the comp Stef, congrats to the winner. Last visit and the site is still delivering😮
Thank you! I’ll go back at some point - a frost heave could make it more productive!
BONE!!! I've been here in New England since last Saturday and will be heading to NH tomorrow. I love it out here!! Awesome video and I was surprised when you said the age of the tiny buckle - I thought it would be a lot older but even if it was newish it was still my favorite find that you had. Stellar video as always and I'll see you soon! ❤
Thanks Elisabeth! We’re probably getting in Wednesday morning - gonna be a blast! Looking forward to seeing you!
Thanks for the post Stef, I really felt like watching an Adventure today & you came through
Thank you so much! Appreciate that! 😄
You and that Manticore sure sniffed out some goodies for your last trip- love the deep V-nickel and sweet relics! Of course we both know that when the next machine rolls out, you'll have to try that place again. In the meantime, continued success to you my friend!
Thank you! I was finally able to hunt in some areas where the EMI was impossible before - that’s a win in my book! Enhanced Audio is great in those situations.
The little Buckle was really cool
Thank you! Sweet little piece. 😊
Always an interesting dig session!!! and congrats to the winner!
Thank you! That place always offers quite a variety!
Love the dog tags !
Congrats to the winner 👍
Thank you! I’m growing to like them… 😄
Great show Stef. Looking forward to seeing the next one. I’m digging the beaches of Florida 😎
Thank you! Ah, I envy that weather right now - I was freezing in the woods yesterday. 😂
Nice finds, and congratulations to the winner!
Thank you! Was a fun day!
Great video! I love the V-Nickel & the Dog tag.
Thank you! Was a fun day!
Congratulations to the winner.
Thanks for doing this, Eric! I’ll let you know as soon as I hear from them! 😊
Here we go!! 😎
Treasure time! 😄
Congratulations winner!! Awesome digs!! Have a great time at BONE!!
Thank you! I know it’ll be a blast - getting in Wednesday, can’t wait! 😄
Another superb video and congrats to the winner!!!
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words! 😄
I enjoyed your adventurous day…. That little buckle was very unique. Good luck at BONE
Thanks Charley! Been having a blast at BONE! 😄
hey steph with the find you got this week i would keep on checking.. Great finds
Thank you! I absolutely will - just can’t concentrate my time there, always need to be on a really hot site to guarantee footage! 😅
@@StefDigs yes i understand but the real good old things hide very well. i hope to see that day ..good luck and Happy Hunting
Awesome stuff Stef! I got my first two rings this week, a silver from the 1980s judging by the stamping, and a copper or Brass one from my 1700/1800 site. All with that machine you sent me. I’ve been using Enhanced b/c every hill in NJ is loaded with iron.
That’s awesome, Jay! Glad you’re having success with it! Enhanced Audio can certainly come in handy. I generally still run Normal with a Simple profile, but in EMI and some other challenging sites, Enhanced is great!
That’s was a very cool small buckle.
Thank you! I have to agree - so fancy! 😄
Really appreciate how much information you give about the artifacts. I dig a lot of Victorian relics. I've never heard of a chatelaine, but now I know what those random but ornate brass pieces I find might belong to. I love finding dog tags--the older the better. My oldest is an 1882 tag from Northfield, MN. Depending on the age of that dog, he could have heard the gunshots from the day the Jesse James gang tried to rob the bank.
That’s so cool! That’s probably the oldest tag I’ve ever heard of being dug!
@@StefDigs It's the oldest for Northfield, anyway. :) I guess they were taxing dogs as far back as 1600. Who knew?
@@OldAsDirtRelicHunting who knew, indeed! I thought that began in the late 1800s.
No BS, that is one of the best V nickels I have seen come out of the ground. And I really like the buckle; to me it seems lady-like. If that was your last visit, it didn't let you down.
Thank you! Yeah, that was a pretty nice V! I can always go back - it’s just gotten to the point where I can hunt for 8 hours and go home with only a few pieces, but I need to stay on hotter sites for the sake of filming. It’ll always be a great spot!
Great digs my friend!
Thank you! Had a great time out there, beautiful property! 😄
Stef you rock hun
Thank you! Too kind! 😄
That's a cool dog tag
Thank you!
Love your videos.
Thank you so much! 😊
Nice fork Steff !!
Thanks! That one is definitely worth restoring!
Gday Stef. Well done on the hunt. That buckle was a sweetie. Shame it was broken. Do like your V nickels. Good day out. Have a great time at BONE. Good luck. Take care mate 🦘🦘😁👍
Thanks Andrew! Leaving for BONE in a couple of hours, woohoo! Rain in the forecast today, but at least the rest of the week looks good. 😁 Can’t wait!
Nice finds, good luck at BONE.
Thank you! 😄
The horse pin seems old to me, maybe early 1900's late 1800's. It just seems very crude and along the lines of that period. The buckle is likely a lingerie buckle, garter buckle, or something like that. Happy Hunting!
Thank you! Happy hunting to you, too! I agree, definitely a ladies buckle. I never got to confirm the age of the pin before this was uploaded, unfortunately. Whatever the case though, I like it!
👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Just got my manticore
Awesome! 🤘🏻
Hey Stef, you never completely hunt a place out. You got a few things they’re all good. I’ll look for you the week after next… John
Thanks John! Correct, NEVER hunted out - but I do have to make tough choices about where I spend my time filming, lol! Have to always stick to where I think I’ll find the most stuff for a video. 😆
@@StefDigs That’s true Stef, you have to keep the masses happy. I got my arm out of the sling from my rotator cuff and bicep surgery so I’m going to try doing a little detecting this week myself. Thanks for what you do for us… John
@@shooterjohn7163 that’s awesome! Happy hunting! 😄
Hey Stef. Congrats to the winner of the Ultimate Finds Box. Love all the Relics you found and The V Nickle. May i ask how you clean your Nickles. Pulled one out today in really bad shape. Right after i found a last year Seated Dime. I believe it's a Buffalo. I dug a couple of V Nickles about 7 years ago in just as bad shape as the Buffalo. They were in the old Red Light District where I live. The oldest Coin I found there was my first Morgan Dollar 1878.
Congrats on the 1919 Dog Tag. That piece was my favorite you found. Take Care Stef.
Thank you! Nickels are so hit and miss and I usually just default to using a pre-soaped Brillo pad, lol. This one turned out okay, but it didn’t photograph well so I didn’t put cleaned up photos on the screen. Nickels are funny like that! 😆
Thank you Stef
11:06 looks like a bridal buckel.
Possibly - quite delicate, though. I was thinking a ladies garter buckle of some kind. 🤷🏼
@@StefDigs Hmm. Buckle. Too bad it wasn't intact.
@@olivei2484 right!
Stef, you’ve probably said this before but what setting do you use on tone ( normal and simple) I use medium but sometimes use simple. Just curious thanks
I almost always run Normal with a Simple profile. I’m hearing impaired so I enjoy the lack of modulation with Simple - if it’s there, it slaps!
@@StefDigs simple is just harder for me to distinguish how deep it really is. But yeah when you go over a coin it will be loud and proud. Thanks for the reply Craig
@@brokenarrowoutdoors2467 if it’s a tiny item like a .22 bullet or casing, I can distinguish the difference between that and a tombac button which (usually) rings up similarly. Still, I never skip those tiny signals - could always be a nice surprise! 😄
Congratulations to the winner
Hope they see that they won soon! 😄
