Welcome to my metal detecting channel! I'll be bringing you on my detecting adventures as I save history from wasting away in the ground. My passion is searching for colonial and early American relics and coins, and my influences include Aquachigger, Green Mountain Metal Detecting, The Hoover Boys, and Quarter Hoarder, to name a few. They collectively inspired me to make my own channel a reality, and I am so glad I did!

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 ...

Great video. Do you still use the 40? I'm looking for the most sensitive (detects from the farthest away) pointer and leaning toward the 40. Consider me subscribed.
Hey U Rock sista! Glad you are getting out!
@@graffixgirl thank you! 😊
Great tutorial

Hope you are doing well Steff 😢
@@earlmenefee3421 thank you ❤️ Hanging in there - just dealing with a bunch of frustration that goes along with end-affair paperwork. Really haven’t had a minute to get out yet because of all this.
Lovely video Lass, looking to get the Nox 900 and love ye passion … thank you from over the pond .x 🇬🇧🇺🇸

Great video congrats on the dime!!

Question should I replace my Nox 800 with the X-Terra Elite ?
The Equinox series is more versatile than the X-Terra Elite, so I’d stick with the 800 if you’re happy with it. If it’s time for a new machine/upgrade, I’d look at an Equinox 900 or a Manticore!
@@StefDigs OK thanks Stef
Great video!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
I know the weather has been brutally hot and then the intermediate ranin and thunder storms attched to this heat wave has kept many of us from getting outside to detect all week and weekend, but I am looking forward to more of your Xterra Elite videos !!
Hoping to have more soon! My mom passed away on the 15th and I’ve been down South since then. Won’t be home until the first week of July, and I’ll resume videos shortly after.
@@StefDigs Stef, I am so very sorry on your Mom’s passing. My prayers and condolences and I am sure everyone will join me in sayiing we are thinking of you and your family at this time. Detecting will be here for you wen you’re ready. All the best to you. -Dennis (Stack Silver).
The ring design looks native trade to me
Because of the lines going together
Meaning the natives cooperating with the traders/settlers but not intersecting
Same motif as many of the arm bands we see that came from fur traders, that’s for sure. Between the site context and the design, I’m sure it is trade.
Stef I just want to say I lost my mother 2 days before my bday in 2016 n 2 days before that I put her dog down I’m so proud of the man I made my self and I’m sure your mother is extremely proud of you now where’s my new vid you
Thank you. ❤️ Very tough loss, no doubt about it. I won’t even be back in CT until the first week of July - there’s just so much to do. A new video will come when it comes. 😊
Great show just sub keep it going😊
Thank you so much! 😊
