James Grayson Ponder: Born in Madison, NC, 20 Dec 1880. Parents were James Ponder and Julia Jarvis. Ponder married Mary Katherine Herndon (also on the stone) and they had 5 children. He passed away on 4 May 1958.
The Avdel item is a riveting gauge. The cut out is for correct setting length on rivet stem and the hole is the correct rivet diameter after setting. A tool used by aircraft engineers and some aluminium boat makers
Do you use the same camcorder to film your wrap-ups as you do in the field? I'm looking for a quality zoom camcorder and yours seems pretty decent. Thanks.
Wow...yepper..banner day for you JD...nice 21 SLQ and I really liked the 37 merc, in VF condition...those are hard to find too. 1917 walker half...was nice, it still had a date!! See you're the silver magnet!!!...I'm the brass magnet :)
Your defiantly right about the older coins in the ground in the North east Found a 1793 Bars and Vine Large cent XF in Clay in Upstate NY Back in the late 80s Also find a lot of State Colonials up here. But rare silver is hard to come by due to people being poor and Gold and silver were carefully watched.
Thoroughly fascinating!! What a hunt...I agree with your decision to leave the Walker in it's "as found" condition...provenance is definitely worth something!
J D I really like your video's. They are well put together and you only talk when your explaining things which is nice as most of these video's have guys that love the sound of their voices. Thank you for taking the time to teach us Newbie's how to hunt.
Steven Bell Appreciate the kind words. I was a newbie myself 3 years ago so it's fun to be able to put up videos that are exciting and informative. :-)
Wow! Incredible hunts! That spill was tremendous! I like the way the coins were stacked together! And the fact that you did it live shows the nay-Sayers that it was a real find!
What an SLQ!!! Man!!! Just a great few hunts!!! Congrats!
Boy am I glad you dont live in R.I. you would not leave me even a zinc penny! Excellent hunt dude, you really killed it today. The coin spill was the definition of epic. Still watching your round up.
Inigo Montoya I once found a coin spill inside a old tree once couple bucks worth of memorials and a few wheats. Still can't figure out how those got there though.
Wow what a awesome find. Love that SLQ. What a great day with the Half spill and Washington to the loot. Congrats.
Totally Awesome JD!! I know you were stoked finding these awesome coins. Also, the long clasped item is an old hair barrett. Haven't seen one with that type of clasp in a long while!! I couldn't wait to see this video and you certainly didn't let me down!! Love Love Love seeing these videos. Congratulations!! I can't wait to get out tomorrow!!
Great hunt Jd! Now I'm super stoked for my first hunt of the year with my dad. thanks for sharing
Great finds and it sounded like you had a fun time doing it! Spending fun time with your buddy and hitting the jackpot = a great day!
Hi JD, just an FYI for you, the long piece that you thought was a brooch, is actually a hair clip usually worn with longer hair at the base of the neck. The sweet maple leave piece looks like one half of a ornate belt buckle. Ladies wore these on dressy clothes during the 20's through the 40's. I really enjoy watching your videos as I would love to dig but have arthritis badly in my hands. Keep digging, and I will keep watching.
Hello Jon. Great to see you out having the time of your life! I have been out of the loop for a while, but I am getting back into it.When I would have a good day metal detecting, it would keep me on a high for days. I am sure you are still there. I hope to have some videos coming soon. Got to talk to Jack now! LOL!
Hey Jim. Great to hear from you! I commented on your channel a little while back checking in to see how you were. Jack is the same old pain in the butt. HAHA. Hope you are well!
You know I usually just hit like on your videos before I even watch, just in case I forget. I know I’m going to enjoy it👍
Not a brooch at 19:20, looks like a barrette! (for hair). it amazes me how you can see the dates and mint letters on coins out in the field, i can barely see them when they are cleaned off inside! Take care of those young eyes of yours. Nice hunt, congrats! Larisa
Yes, you are correct, had a brain fart. Haven't dug one of those in a while, haha!
I've never watched a 30 minute youtube video, but its still to cold here to detect. 30 min video here I come.
Great video, that live dig of the coin spill made me laugh. I bet your patch of wheats was where an old close line was!
Wow JD, you're killing it this year! I still have snow on the ground here in CT and you've already dug up more then I will this whole year! Congrats man!
Thanks Travis. Good to hear from you. Was wondering where you were at the other day! Hope you are out finding some goodies soon. :-)
Excellent finds John. The spill was awesome. but the SLQ was by far your best find.
I know it had to hard not rub that date while in the field. CONGRATS
I am Mark Parker I saw the video of the SLQ on the property with the barn/garage. You looked in from the window and saw a piece of furniture, It was a floor radio around late 40's to early 50's
The Washington Quarter is an Error, but not a CUD. It is a Lamination, where the metal "peeled" off the coin. I can see why you thought it was a cud, but I am convinced that it is a Lamination. And also, a die crack is raised, as the actual die was cracked and then struck into the coin.
I think you are correct. I was just using terms like "cud" and "die crack" because they are the basic ones I'm most familiar with and was comparing to what I've seen. I have seen many lamination errors on cents that makes the coin look peeled, but not other coins. I guess that's what it could be. Interesting coin either way! Thanks for the comment. :-)
I truly love--love your videos--the finds and info. Thanks for sharing.
wow great hunt congrats bud i just dug an slq 1917 last hunt finaly got one but yours is key thats super sweeet!!! good luck out there!!
The 1941 Quarter is not a rim cud, but a struck-through metal error. A small piece of metal was struck between the Obverse die and the blank planchet, leaving the small round clump of flatten metal impressed into the Obverse of the coin at 5:00 O-clock at the rim - neat!!
What an amazing live dig JD! Just shared it on social. I was glued to the screen as you peeled the old coins away LOL It's such an amazing feeling and the way the spill was positioned made it such a great video thanks for sharing =)
P.S. I got your Franklin on the same day hahaha =)
Awesome hunt JD!! You really do your homework finding great places to hunt. I would have been stoked finding just one of those silvers! What a great day, nice job!!
overtime people rub there coins it kills me and i scream whyyyyy just wait or put water on it and clean it right... i know the excitement is overwhelm but I've seen people ruin some rare coins that they could of made a lot of easy money..but get nothing near what they were about to get
Awesome hunt! For you to say that it was the best hunt of your life, it has to be great! I am happy finding 1 Merc and a few Wheaties!
Congrats my friend! That was an awesome spill and the SLQ is just off the charts cool. That CTX seems to be treating you pretty good.
A terrific hunt there, I must admit love the Buffalos. Well done on such great silvers too. Ian
Willo's Australian coin, relic and gold detecting Thanks Ian. The buffalos are very cool coins. I am subbed to your channel and watch your vids all the time when you upload. :-)
Really liked your vid sat with wife getting educated on your vintage currency loved the silvers so interesting in detail word jealous comes to mind ha !! Keep it up ant from Wales UK HH
What a awesome hunt! It is spitting snow here in Coshocton Ohio as I type this! Unreal!!!
Awesome hunt guys!! Loved that Half spill! Thanks for shraring!! GL & HH, Jerimy
at 19:00 the hair clip your holding is not a broach. I still have my hair clip and use it. They came in 2 sizes, a large one and a small one. You are holding the larger of the two. They came in a set from Goody Hair products. I bought mine in 1980 and it was my favorite hair clip at the time. I would pull the top part of my hair and place the clip at the crown of my head (top back) to hold my bangs back out of my face. --- It is not/ was not gold plated. It was just a brass color. If you want me to post a picture of mine. I can do that. So it's not that old. (Well 30 years old.) :) I enjoyed your video very much!!
Kudos to youdos, Jon. Nifty finds in that one yard. I guess when you're in a good spot , it shows in the finds. Great, man!
I did some upgrading on my best numismatic find as well. Friday I hunted a log cabin home site from at least 1879. Just as night was coming on,I brought out an 1865 two cent piece in nice condition aside from some scaly light deposits. The relief is very good. Shortly after that, I dug two Indian cents, pretty scaly. The next night at another site I dug a 1919 S Lincoln cent. I'm giddy. That'll probably my best for the year OR LONGER.
My best before this was a 1902 IH cent with a remarkable green patina, so yeah, an upgrade.
7 inches of snow this afternoon but sixties forecast by Wednesday ,so maybe then I'll try for something from the log cabin site again. Good luck to you. 57
congrats JD! Awesome find. having found that 1877 indian last year, I now know the feeling of finding a key date coin. What an awesome feeling it is. you can mark that one off the list. now go find a 1916 SLQ!! lol HH bud
I have a question as a new metal detector what signals do I dig higher like 5.46 or more like 3.45 (random range not for anything) plz reply
Great video JD love the Hunt you had some great times there including the standing liberty quarter as well as the walking liberty half good luck on the next one man and I'm really glad you had a good day
Great video,amazing hunt. My first silver 50 cent piece was a 1917 walker. Great job!!!
Sure does sadden me to see antiques of any kind just left to turn to dust. I would love to be a treasure hunter like you all are. Ah to be young again! Have fun!
nice Qtr n finds!! dug a killer vf30 1918s Qtr with die crack thru the date the other year myself..
Awesome coin spill and sweet key date.
I know for you coin guys this was an awesome hunt. But for me, I love the relics. The maple leaf like deco piece was my favorite. I must also admit to being a rock hound and that rock you found was awesome. I'd love to be able to find one like that in one of my relic holes. LOL.
Canada is even younger, so finding older coins is harder. There are more people living in California than all of Canada so you can see the challenge of finding lots of coins up here in the northern hemisphere.
+Brian Quilty Yeah, at least you have silver coins until 1968 though. =D
Nice hunt jd.
Btw does anyone know a good metal detector for a 13 year old. I would really appreciate if someone would give an answer
i really like your chanel because my grandfather collected old coins and he died and before he did he passed them down to me and some coins you find i recodnize
I love your intro JD and you make great video's! You will make an awesome film director!!
what brand of metal detector do you use? and do you live here in Tennessee?
great video thumbs up!!!!
Good for you, JD. Woohoo! I always laugh when I hear that name, "Merry Widow Condoms". Super Finds! Too bad the buckle broke, but it's not like you're gonna use it, hu? The aluminum decor piece was one end of a lady's cloth, dress belt from the 40s ?, the Barrett was 50s to 60s. A Beautiful nineteen twenty one silver. It's Perdy. : )
Check the obverse for a Mintmark. It could be worth a lot! Only 765,000 were made like that.
That piece of aluminum likely came from Avdel Fasteners. you can google them.
Mary Widow condom tin, lol. That must be some crazy marketing. You find amazing stuff. History of these items would be lost if you didn't find them.
JD that was a very nice spill you got over..sweet. Like how you called it a Sandwich spill. That Merry Widows tin..I found one yesterday, my first. They are very very Cool. Your 21 SLQ, wow, with a clearer date that could have been a $500 coin I would think
Thanks Keith. Yeah, a few grades higher with a clear date and the SLQ would have been closer to $600.
Great hunt JD, Congrats man! That was a sweet spill, and awesome SLQ!
Nice man I just got my first coin spill But I was not that lucky ,I got the poor man spill lol
Nice happy Hunting
Nice!
Where would you suggest someone go to sell coins that they find
JD, all I can say is WOW!!
Jeeeezzzzz! Seriously? Not only do you find my favorite coin, but it's a rare key date worth $200. That spill was crazy too. Is the CTX growing on you at all? I know you're waiting for old Bessie to come home but the CTX just gave you your best hunt ever, Lol...
Nope. I don't like the CTX half as much as the e-trac. =P
Wow not even half? Someday you have to give me the skinny on why. I know some of the more common comparisons and I use the etrac sometime too. I would love to hear your take.
Some day I plan on doing an extensive comparison. CTX is a great machine, don't get me wrong. I just prefer the e-trac. :-)
JD's Variety Channel -- If you don't like the CTX - I would love to have it ... 😇😆 your vids are giving me the fever!
I love the way you have the beeps in time with your intro music, that must of taken a little work :) Ack you have shortened you beeps and intro music .. I really liked that part
HH&GL

Very well spoken.
Its always nice to know when a youngin' like you actually has a hobby besides video games. Certainly way more productive!! Smarts don't come from farts, after all.......another inspiring youth story. Keepon diggin' :>)
+Kevin Dilke I used to play tons of video games. But now I don't even own a TV. :-) I love treasure hunting, detecting being my favorite method. I travel all over the place. =P
I'm just waiting for some more vids from ya.
Just posted one tonight. =D
Awesome. I'll check it out after I tour area 52.
Nice video guys and cracking finds well done on that spill too that was just kool one coin under another and another quality, nice share from Dave, Relic Hunting Scotland :-D GL & HH
Crazy nice find !!!!!!! Three rare coins in one "spill" ? ~ Cheers
Thee brooch is a hàir barret. For sure, I WORE THOSE AS A KID,
Nice coin!!! And a spill that's great! GL&HH
I just watched a video that said the 1942 s copper pennies are super rare and valuable. Hope it cleaned up nice.
Bravo on the coin spill what a beautiful coins!!
JD, Where do you find your music at for this vid.?
Love that coin spill. Congrats on the SLQ.
Inspiring JD! Happy for you. Coinazoid recommends The ETrac also, I accept your wise counsel... And cheaper price tag. :)
Those E-tracs are pretty tough. I think the revlon cap is a lipstick bottom
you my friend are on fire this year !
Awesome finds!!!
Just another amazing hunt Mr. JD :) Awesome:)
Wonderful, just great! that was an awesome hunt, Congrats, GL HH Bernie
Great Hunt... Congrats all the way around!
Super Sweet Finds JD!
GL and HH
Van Jr.
Congratulations on your best finds!
Can you tell a nickel from 1946 is made out of and is it worth anything?
Congrats! Great finds!!
Definitely great finds!!!
Hi! Unfortunately I do not know the language and don't understand what you're talking about in the video. Tell me, are You digging right along the route? In the city? Where do you live?) I also do a search.....I will be glad to see on the channel) I have a very ancient findings....
For video and super coin like)
hey there JD what does a Good Metal detector Cost now days. Watching ya Catch all of them Wheat and Murcurys it's giving me the Feaver. what brand would you use? I live in Tennessee to give ya a Idea where I am working from,
Steve Jones Just depends on what you're looking for. My machine (minelab e-trac) runs about $1,500, but you can still get a decent all purpose machine for about $300. In that range I would recommend the Garrett "Ace" series or maybe a fisher F44. If you wanted a slightly better machine go with a Garrett AT Pro, $600 and well worth the money. And I live in Tennessee too!
ok thanx.
My brother's friend's parents live in a mid 1800s one room school house. They asked if I wanted to search for stuff. What do you think I will find? We are in Central PA. The ground is frozen now, so I will be detecting in the summer. I don't have a detector now. For my birthday, what would be a good, "cheap" one that is waterproof. It doesn't have to be too fancy.
+Dylan Bryson Waterproof meaning you can submerse the whole detector? Most coils are waterproof, but usually not the housing. If you need fully waterproof. The cheapest "good" detector would probably be the Garrett AT Pro, which is $600 brand new. It's good for coins & relics, and is submersible. Most detectors are fine in the rain if you have a rain cover, but you can't dunk them. lol. I can suggest other cheaper options if you don't need fully waterproof. You can get 10% off most machines from kellyco with my coupon code.
Ok. Thanks for the quick reply. I will mainly be hunting in small creeks that are only a few inches to a foot deep. I am just worried about dropping it. If I drop one that is not made to go fully underwater and pick it up wight away, would it still be fine? How about if I take apart the housing apart and plasti dip it?
If you are going into water, don't risk it, get one that's waterproof. The AT pro is a great all purpose machine, and you can use it for decades to come. Easy to learn too. I couldn't recommend any machine under the price of that one that I think would work for you. The AT pro does good in iron rich areas too, so it will help in the water and around old home sites, like you mentioned also. I have never taken a detector apart, so I couldn't say. But I do know, if you mess it up while trying to alter it. It will void the warranty. Some machines are sealed better than others. If you drop a cheap machine in the water for a few seconds it could short out. And the coils on some cheap machines don't function well in water, and you don't want o be sending them back to be repaired. My ultimate advice. If you want to do some water hunting, save up for the AT Pro. They're very popular too, so it will hold it's value well if you ever need to sell it.
+JD's Variety Channel Thanks. How about one under that criteria that is not waterproof.
For under the price of the AT pro, I would take a serious look at the Teknetics T2 (which I'm using in a lot of my videos now) I'm my opinion, it's the most powerful detector on the market for under $500. (It's almost $100 cheaper than the AT Pro) You could also take a look at the Fisher F-44, which is a solid machine that is weather proof (not fully waterproof) for $349. A lot of people like the entry level Garrett machines like the Ace-250 & Ace-350, though they would not be my pick. I like the 2 I mentioned above because they carry a 5 year warranty. And Garrett products usually only carry a 2 year warranty.
amazing my friend!!!!!!
Whoa! What a spill! Hope i didn't wake my neighbor :(
What kind of shovel do you use?
Congrats JD! What a great find. I think you'll have a crazy good year. Do i smell a gold coin?;)
HH
That "broach" is a hair barrette. I used to have one with a clasp like that.
Yes it is a barrette not a brooch. The flower, maple leaf thing is actually a shoe clip. Basically jewelry for a plain pair of shoes, probably from the 20s or 30s.
I have a feeling that the avdel A and the screw fastener object you thought to be a dime go together. I looked up avdel and its a fastener company.
