Thanks Cousteau! I was pretty pleased with what was coming to me.

Thanks Wilton! I really had a good time popping those buttons out. I like the somewhat more personal items.....and the Infantry buttons are really cool! Bart is great at Big Boys Hobbies! He saved me a couple hundred on my new CTX3030 plus I got a free pinpointer out of it......couldn't find a better deal anywhere else!

Thanks! It was a lot of fun digging up stuff THAT old! We usually don't see much that is from the 1860's

It was crazy how much stuff was still there.....and I'm sure there's more!

Thanks Michael! I'm actually pretty big into coin collecting so I knew I had a good one with it. I actually made another video of it where I sent it and 3 other coins into NGC. I think it's a bit of a higher grade but I'm thinking it'll get the "environmental damage" notation. I'll make another video of the coins I sent off once I get them back. All 4 of them that I sent in are detecting finds. Thanks for watching!

Great content & I look forward to seeing future videos. Wish you luck that it gets a straight grade but even if it doesn't that's still a tremendous find! Think about it, only 866,000 were minted & there's no telling how many have survived & you actually dug one up! I've been collecting coins for over 20 yrs now & have been lucky with some finds like finding a 1936 & 1972 DDO cents while hunting rolls from banks or bags from dealers. I'd flip out if I were able to find any key date of any denomination! LoL! Again, good luck & I'll be watching future videos! Stay safe!

Thanks ​@michaelmartin4816 ! I actually dug a 1921-D Mercury dime 3 years ago that I got graded by NGC as an XF45! Luckily I was quite careful with it and put it in my truck not knowing what year and mint it was so I could spray it off with some water to try to keep from scratching it once I got done detecting....I'm glad I did! Hopefully I can nab another key date again sometime soon!

Thanks man! I kind of wonder sometimes how I keep the camera where it needs to be because a lot of times I'm just glancing up at it now and then and not really paying attention to it.

I agree!

Thanks Joey!

For sure Don! They were my favorite thing to find! Really neat, historical items.

For sure man! I think Kevin wants to get you out there once the big area gets harvested.....gotta be some coin out there somewhere!

@@EmptyWilbur I'm game is heck

@samsager1 it's tough detecting and getting signals but everything you dig is OLD!

Cool! Thanks Darrel! I knew one of you would know what it was. It was going to be the last dig of the hunt while I was heading back to my truck but than I came across that final button.

Thanks BB! I guess I'm used to hunting yards and such so I'm used to really obvious signals. A lot of the signals out at the fort were real faint and difficult to get to repeat. And you're right on with the fort, 1866 to 1894 I believe.

Many thanks!! It's awesome finding cool stuff but the fun factor also plays a BIG part in detecting. Thanks for watching and Goodluck to you!

Thanks Daniel! It is super hard to detect that ground out there but anything you come across is super old.....really a fun spot to detect. I shouldn't have used the word lame.....just not as exciting as a silver coin I guess. Thanks for watching!

Thanks William! I always like seeing good close ups of peoples finds so I try to provide the same experience for everyone watching my videos. It's always interesting to see the finds how they look after a bit of cleaning.

Thanks Wilton! Hopefully my tooth pain will go away and I can get myself back into doing some door knocking......haven't really had the ambition in the past week. Thanks for watching!

I kind of wish there were more coins to be had out there but im happy with what i do find. You get me your address and I'll send you one.

@@EmptyWilbur oh that is nice of you. Frank Myers 10978 W. Ocean Air Dr #3115 San Diego, CA 92130

@mrmetaldetectorist no problem Frank! I'll get it in the mail in the next couple days. Thanks for watching Frank!

@@EmptyWilbur thank you so much again.

@mrmetaldetectorist You betcha! I enjoy sharing the history I find especially if someone else can enjoy it as well.

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Thanks! I've got some really nice kitties......almost too nice......🤔

Thanks Darren! Not much else going on in ND, might as well dig up some silver! 😁

Thanks Dirt! I live in Minot but detect all over around here.

@@EmptyWilbur I left Kenmare right after high school in '83 and came to Iowa (extended family). Only time I've ever been back was two summers ago for a drive through before we vacationed at Roosevelt National Park.

Thanks Joey! I'm going to try to keep getting as many videos as I can get out time permitting. Thanks for watching!

Thanks buzzsaw! I'm in central North Dakota but I get out detecting and working in the western half fairly regularly.

I do like digging those old wheats, that's for sure.

I'm glad you enjoyed it Ron! I guess there was a fair amount of coins in it.....maybe I just wish there were more shiny ones😅

Thanks Sam! I'm really surprised that Kevin scored the permission in the first place!

Thanks Philip! I had so many teeth that were just breaking and the nerves going dead that my dentist said the best route to go was pull everything and do implants. He said it wasn't a matter of "if", but "when" the remaining good teeth followed suit. I was able to go out digging with my buddy near that old fort right after I got the temporary crowns put on but I paid for it later! I imagine they'll gradually get to where they don't hurt anymore but I think that is another few days. Oh well, as my dad says "Such is life". Thanks for watching Philip!

Yeah, the bigger one of the two unfired ones I dug was for a carbine my buddy said. He knows way more than I do about that stuff.....it was just really neat to dig that old of material in ND.

Thanks for watching and subscribing! What I use is a 36" Anaconda NX‑6 Tempered Steel Shovel. It works great in pretty much any condition.....except frozen ground. I've destroyed a couple of them trying to dig that stuff.

Thanks for subscribing James! I shouldn't complain about all the wheats being that usually means there's silver nearby but I feel like people don't want to watch a pile of wheats get dug up. Better than nothing though I guess.

The old farmsteads are easy to come by but we don't have anything really older than the late 1800's sadly. I still have a darn good time with what I do have to detect. Thanks for watching Brian!

Thanks Philip! It has been my pleasure. And thanks for watching!

Thanks Raymond! I have a couple spray bottles in my truck that I use when I get done detecting. I usually just leave the dirt on the silvers until I get done.

I do have a couple little spray bottles in my truck that I use on silvers but for the most part they stay dirty until I get done swinging. Pretty much everything else getting vmwiped clean of the dirt on them.

Thanks brun!

Thanks Ron! I'm tempted to send it in to get graded as well but I'm going to try to get some of the green off of it first if I can without screwing it up. That old homestead was amazing to hunt! Thanks for watching!

Yeah, the majority of what I dig is from Denver. We still get a number of Philadelphia and San Francisco coins, and on occasion New Orleans minted Barbers but for the most part it's mostly Denver. Thanks for watching and I hope I can get another video out in the coming week!

Being as you get so many Denvers. You have a slight advantage when you get certain Mercury Head Dimes, such as the 1916D and the 1931D. Two key dates. In Lincoln Head Cents I would always be looking for the 1914D. And being as the soil there seems to be great as your coins come out in very nice condition. Even though those coins are a rare find, even a slight edge is good. And you seem to find alot of Merks and old Lincolns. Hope you will find some over time.😊

Thanks DTP! I really appreciate it! Hopefully you can get on to some of the same goodies. I've had a lot of luck this year so far so I hope it keeps up! Goodluck to ya!

Thanks Philip! I tried my darnedest to mute the video while I had my pinpointer going off but I couldn't figure out how to do it. My bad.....that is wicked annoying though, I'm in total agreement with you. I have since changed my pinpointer to vibrate only after watching my first few videos. Thanks for watching!
