Hit that thumbs up, seriously! Even if I didn't metal detect, I would still believe that this is one of the best show, and edited shows, on UA-cam. All the man asked is to subscribe and thumbs up. Great show! Silver bells.😉
Thanks so much and I really appreciate the kind words. Always great to see you here watching and commenting Tony. ATB Greg
Let's go let's go treasure and adventure ✌👵
Thanks so much for watching Kelly. ATB Greg
Nice Greg! Nothing like a Barber dime to round off your day! Congrats!
Thanks and that's for sure!
The mystery item is a flywheel key from a small engine…likely from a lawnmower with a Briggs and Stratton 4-stroke engine
I believe you are exactly right .
Very nice R&R hunt. Congrats on the 1911 Barber Dime. Love the Toys you found. Take Care Greg
Thanks so much and I appreciate you watching as always! ATB Greg

Toys, Toys and more toys, thanks for sharing the coiltek coil, Nice 1911 barber dime , and ending season for 2023 GL next year in 2024
Thanks so much and I appreciate you watching all these years. ATB Greg
Fantastic episode with great finds. Congratulations on the Barber!
Thanks so much D and that Barber was definitely fun to find! ATB Greg
Great show that last little thing is a mystery. look like a kazoo or something. You'd hide in your mouth to make noise. With I don't know it kind of looks weird I gotta look at it cleaned up.
Love the Porsche 911 turbo too! Fun finds today. Have a great year!
Thanks and really glad you enjoyed this one! Hope you have an incredible year. ATB Greg
Great hunt Greg. Great finds. Really enjoy watching you find the old toys. Cool old spoon also.
Glad you enjoyed this one!
Hey dad how do you know every car make and model? It's from digging them up metal detecting for 40 years son! lol
When you think you've dug up about every car or truck toy model possible when another new one pops up. This year I found a great early hotwheel of the VW bug. Then a few weeks back I found my very first FIRE RESCUE / EMT Hover Craft. That's the last thing I ever expected to see in toy vehicles. Ive seen the transformers and the Rat Fink and other cars I didn't pay attention to over the years. I know they're not old coins, buttons or relics from the Revo or Civil War but they are fun to find just for the stories behind the toys or even the vehicles. Maybe the Lesney and tootsie's are a little more collectible they're all fun to see for the old childhood momeries.
And congratulations on the other finds and thanks for the historical pics that comes with them thats what makes your videos special 👍
Good Luck in 2024 I wish you a bucket ful of bucket listers
I jave a question. The round 15" coiltek coil is that a DD or a concentric coil?
It's funny but I also found a Lesney hovercraft in that very same yard a year or so ago. It was the type that cruise the Thames in London. Glad that you enjoyed watching this one and that 15" coil is a DD. Hope you find many amazing things this year! ATB Greg
Great way to end the year!
Thanks Dan and it certainly was. Tomorrow's video was a great start to this year! ATB Greg
Greg, nice 1911 barber, enjoyed the toys as well. I have been binge watching all of your videos. We will be recommending your channel to our viewers next spring when we can get out again. Love your channel, very educational and the old pictures reflecting back on history. We dig it all as well. Thank you and Chris for your passion for finding history. Happy new year and best wishes.👍👏🇺🇸
Thanks so much for watching my videos Pam and Pat and I appreciate that very much! I hope you two find lots of amazing treasures in 2024 when you can get back out! ATB Greg
Enjoyed the episode Greg. Way to persevere my friend!
Thanks so much! Always appreciate you watching. ATB Greg
Nice Finish!
Thanks so much!
Assume great toys and several spoons, the Barber dime made the days hunt complete!! Happy New Year Greg!!
It definitely was another fun day out detecting Kaye and a Happy New Year to you as well. ATB Greg

Thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoyed it Audra! ATB Greg
I enjoy watching you. I have for quite some time now. You seem like such a nice guy. 🤗 I love the fact that you get such a kick out of the treasures you find. I love the old pictures that you share. I pray that you have a very blessed new year and find many many enjoyable Treasures in the coming year. ❤😊 Sincerely, Terri 😇🙏
Thank you so much for your very kind words and I'm really glad you enjoy the format of my videos. Hope you have a wonderful year as well Terri! ATB Greg
Congrats Greg! I love the barbers! My final silver coins for 2023 were a barber dime and a barber quarter! Both 1900. Also managed a couple Buffalo nickels and a silver war nickel. We were able to detect until new years eve this year!
In fact, I believe we could still get out some more. I'm thankful for this amazing weather this year! 😊
Thanks and that's an awesome way to end the year! Twin 1900's! Very cool. Hope you get to continue detecting for a while into 2024. ATB Greg
Great video Greg. Congrats on finding the 1911 barber. Happy New Year to you and your family
Thanks Steven and the same to you as well!
The first mystery find I belive is part of an old firearm, it looks pretty similar to the old flint lock striker but may be from a smaller firearm
Thanks Rob and I really appreciate the help with that! ATB Greg
Love finding spoons
I do too.
Nice work Greg!!!!!!!
Thanks Bob!
The incidental finds can be just as interesting or better than the target you were chasing, I love it when that happens, more often than not for me its usually a marble, but i have found one plastic toy native American, and some other odd items, when I find a hole like that I usually keep searching it in the hope of another surprise, Thanks for a wonderful year of detecting with you, Looking forward to your hunts of 2024. A belated Happy New Year to you and your family. Cheers!
Thank you so much Wayne and I completely agree with you about the bonus finds.I love when I get into a hole with glass and interesting bits. My "Dig It All" field is one of the best places for that. I've spent half an hour just clearing one hole out there. BTW, I found an awesome toy Indian in the video coming out tomorrow. It was quite the couple of hunts this time. Hope you have a fantastic 2024! ATB Greg
Congratulations on your coil test and awesome scores, Greg! Hope you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Best of luck on your hunts in 2024!
Thanks so much Rich and the best to you with your hunts this year!
Nice Barber! You had some really cool finds. Happy New Year. 💖💯
Thanks Julie and glad you enjoyed seeing what was found. Happy new year to you as well. ATB Greg
Greg another freaking awesome video
Thanks Dwight and much appreciated!
love the Barber dime ive only found 4 in my 11 years of detecting. 2 of them was last sept a 1900 and a 1911 lol great save
Very cool finding two of them in one month. I hope you find many more of them out there William! ATB Greg
Greg, the first mystery item looks like to me is a couple leaks out of an old chainsaw blade . Just love this episode. Thanks for sharing.
So glad you enjoyed this one Phillip. Thanks for watching and I really appreciate the help with that mystery find! ATB Greg
Awesome find
Thanks Leo!
Awesome dime. Enjoyed 👍
Thanks Rick and it felt good to see that come out at the buzzer! ATB Greg
Great video, the round clock part looked more like a round thermostat from a home, I know your good at knowing what you find. I just thought it looked like a thermostat
Thanks and the US patent number really helps to nail down finds like that. Glad you enjoyed this one! ATB Greg
Cool stuff
Thanks Charlie!
That was a fantastic hunt!
Thanks so much and so glad you liked it. ATB Greg
Nice relic finds & congrats on a nice Barber. Very nice ending photos.
Glad you enjoyed it Joe!
Definitely a fantastic way to end the year Greg!!! I do love finding toys. Happy New Year
Happy new year Ezra and I appreciate you watching this year. Hope you have a fantastic 2024! ATB Greg
Happy New Year, Greg. I hope all your digs are gold.
Thanks so much and the same to you as well!
The small milk glass often held deodorant, it was a cream that would be dipped out and applied with fingers.
Thanks for the help with that and I appreciate you watching! ATB Greg
Hi ! Greg, Im from way out in Texas. I enjoy all your videos, nice finds. i can't wait to get out myself. Have a happy new year and happy hunting.
Thanks so much for watching the channel all the way over in Texas, David! Very much appreciated! ATB Greg
Nice hunt Greg
Thanks a lot Kelly!
Great hunt! I love when you get excited about your finds. 😊 Hope you and Chris had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's Day ☺️
Thank you and I always love finding anything old and interesting. I hope you have a great 2024 as well! Appreciate you watching Andrea. ATB Greg
@@FindingAmerica Thank you, Greg! I hope you and Chris have a wonderful 2024. I wish you many silvers, with a healthy dash of gold 🤞😃
Great job
Thanks a lot Joey!
Possibly a jewelry box or something hardware.
Awesome video. Those metal parts might be for an old antique clock
So glad you enjoyed watching this one Bert and I really appreciate the help with that Mystery Find! ATB Greg
Now he lives in a van down by the river!! A line from Chris Farley back in the days from Saturday night live! Lol
I think of those skits every time I am down there!
Nice finish 🏆
Thanks Dean! I was pretty happy with that one.
The relic you found after the full intact spoon and before the lipstick tube looks to me like possibly the inner works to a pistol. Possibly the works that actuates the trigger to the hammer. But not sure. Stay safe. Blessings. Cheers.😊
Thanks Philip and I appreciate the help with that! ATB Greg
Looks like you found the Bronx,NYC edition Porsche!
Haha I had a similar thought when I pulled it out.
Super condition dime. 1911, the tales it could tell. Always makes me wonder with it's age. Did its loss cause hardship?
I'm sure someone hated losing that one
I occasionally wonder what the occasion was for a photographer to take certain pictures. ---That Demon Ratmobile was so unusual! The kid that lost so many of his toys was either careless, or devastated at the loss of his toys. Wouldn't we all like to know his story?---Looking forward to finding out who IDs your mystery finds!
Thanks for watching this one Alana and it's amazing how many toys have been found in this one yard. Lots of fun to search there. ATB Greg
Great video Greg. Happy New Year to you!
Thanks so much Buddy and I hope you have a fantastic 2024. ATB Greg
Found my 1905 barber dime in the desert 🏜 of Arizona, near a bunch of old gold mines. I like to think it came out of one of the multitude of tobacco tins I dug there
That's awesome Vern. A great find made even better by the location where you found it!
That looks like the hardware for some kind of cabinet drawer Our door
I hunt with a Nokta Legend..I just brought another from Kellco with your code FAUSA for my son. Saved me some money. Good company to deal with. Thanks alot...Charlie in Ohio
That's a great machine Charlie and it's awesome that you and your son detect together. So glad you've had great experiences with Kellyco and I really appreciate you helping to support the channel by using our FAUSA code with them. Thanks for watching the channel! ATB Greg
Mystery item ... base plate for a set of vehicle points maybe?
Thanks and I really appreciate the help with that! ATB Greg
That dime would have been a real lose to who ever lost it. Hope your holidays were good ones take care God bless Nora
No doubt that it was back then. I hope you have a great 2024 Nora and thanks so much for watching the channel! ATB Greg
Just think, if it wasn't for the metal items, you'd never find the plastic, marble etc. Treasures nearby! Love the rat mobile! 😎 Happy New Year, Greg!
Very true Judy and I loved that Ratmobile as well. Never know what will pop out of a hole next! lol ATB Greg
I think your mystery find at 7:27 is part of a clock frame Greg?
Thanks Kelly and I appreciate the help with that! ATB Greg
Looks like a side plate to an old muzzle loader, I'm sure someone beat me to it though.
It does resemble something like that. Thanks Max and I really appreciate the help with that! ATB Greg
I found a 1911 wheat it’s great to find them
Very nice find. I always enjoy finding wheaties.
Way to go Greg
Thanks so much Richard!
Looks like a miniature pocket knife, probably on the keychain.
Thanks Greg and I really appreciate the help with that! ATB Greg
Could the first mystery be a tire balance? Not sure what the earlier ones looked like
I don't think so as it is a pretty thin piece. Thanks so much for the help with that Scott! ATB Greg
Great video. How far are you from Scottsville Kentucky ? I'm up here from Florida taking care of my sister. Would sure love to meet you. ✌❤
Thanks so much Karen and I am a few hundred miles from there. Always appreciate you watching each week and I hope your sister is doing well. ATB Greg
@@FindingAmericathank you.
Subbed! nice channel.
Thanks so much for subbing Tommy and really glad you enjoyed the channel! I hope you enjoy my other episodes as well. Take care and ATB Greg
Wow what a car
Good hunt congrats on the dime where are you at in E.Tenn I'm from WNC
Thanks Steve and I'm glad you enjoyed watching this one. ATB Greg
Two peices of metal is parts to a can opener looks like
Thanks David and I appreciate the help with that! ATB Greg
👍👍👍👍👍
I wonder if the mystery item is from a folding square or a make up case
A folding square is certainly a possibility and that crossed my mind as well as it has a pivot point. Thanks and I really appreciate the help with that! ATB Greg
Love the Barber! I really only try to find coins, and have now gotten three Barbers since I started detecting three years ago. Have found two old silver Canadian dimes, too… 1900 and 1917. 👍🏻
That's awesome finding the Barbers and the Canadian dimes Wayne. I love finding those old Canadian dimes when I can down here. Hope you get a seated dime next if you haven't already! ATB Greg
You should open a toy store.
Vintage and slightly used. LOL Thanks so much for watching this one Richard. ATB Greg
Am I the only one that has repurposed dug up spoons in great condition? 😂
Haha As pudding shovels or wind chimes? :)
@@FindingAmerica no these were good enough to eat Cap'n Crunch with lol
could the mystery find possibly be a copper ingot?
It definitely resembles something like that. Thanks so much and I appreciate the help with that! ATB Greg
@@FindingAmerica any time :)
Some day I hope too get a barber
I have no doubt that you will find one.
Are you close to Johnson city 🤔
No, I'm not really close to there Gregg.
Hi Greg, great video i are about to buy a new coil for my 900.
what would you recommend please the 10 x 5 or the 15 coiltec i struggle with weight because of shoulder? i had the 14 x 9 coiltec and had to wear a harness is the 15 heavy? because of the price do i pay that bit extra or go for the smaller one.
#Thank you.
It depends on what you are needing the coil for. The 15" coil is going to be a bit heavy and it's main function is to hit the deeper targets. The 10X5 is great for general hunting and excellent for picking through heavy trash and iron areas. It gets very impressive depth as well.The 10X5 is absolutely awesome, light as a feather and your shoulder will love it. If you decide to get one from Kellyco don't forget to use our FAUSA code when you're purchasing it.
If you haven't tried this yet when using larger or heavier coils, you might want to. I can swing the big coils all day long mainly because I shorten the shaft up a lot. I loosen the shaft, then hold the machine on my side while shortening the shaft up until the coil is sitting flat on the ground while my arm is straight down and fully extended. I will then tighten the shaft to that length. When I am swinging, my arm is fully extended straight down. My arm is not bent at the elbow trying to control and support the weight of the coil when I am swinging it. This takes away a lot of the elbow and shoulder fatigue when I am swinging a big and heavier coil. Hope this helps you. ATB Greg
Thank you for your reply, so would you recommend 15" short shaft, or 10x5? What depth has the 10x5 got please, compared to the 15" is there much difference between.
Those two coils are on completely different sides of the scale. The small coil is for hunting in high trashy or iron infested areas. The 15" is for going as deep as you can go. It all depends on what you want the coil for and what kind of hunting you do.
Hi Greg,
i do alot of beach detecting through the year , but i do go out with clubs also on all grounds also, but not as much.
@@meerkatmal9103 If you are wanting it for beach detecting then I would definitely go with the 15". I would think that depth is more desired on the beach than target separation. With shortening your shaft it will help with the size and weight of the larger coil but since you already have a harness, you should be able to handle the 15" without any problem using that. I also checked with Kellyco just in case and the 15" is in stock. Hope this helps.
High mileage horse shoe😅
Please find some new adjectives.
I hope your life gets better for you.
I enjoyed the video, but it really makes me cringe when you wipe the dirt off and grind it in the things you find.
Well, you're cringing for no reason. I've been doing this for a bit and I know perfectly well how to properly handle my finds.Glad you enjoyed the video Kevin.
Looks like the big coil paid off.
It definitely did Jay and I was impressed with it out there. Coiltek makes a great product. ATB Greg
I was impressed with the depth.
