History in the Hand Metal Detecting
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 2 พ.ค. 2023
The Endless Mountains of north central Pennsylvania provides the backstop for this Metal Detecting Channel. Towns began to be established in the mid 1800’s, but logging camps had been established prior to that. It’s a beautiful part of rural Pennsylvania, and has maintained some of its wild mystique from ages past. There are more livestock than people in this county. But just below the surface of the ground lie clues to the history of the distant past.
I only began metal detecting in June of 2022, so there’s much I’ve yet to learn! Join me, and any guests crazy enough to come along, as we search for what can be found…and maybe hold some of our country's history right in our own hands.

Steve you caused me eye to shed a tear listening to how you interacted with your grandchild, unbelievable the paths our lives may travel from youth onwards, God blessing you always!!
It was a blessing just to spend some time with her. We had recorded a really fun "intro" to the property hunt, on the day…but "PopPop" accidentally DELETED it while transferring video! Had to re-shoot a few days later…
Wathcing from Finland. Happy hunting from a fellow detectorist!😊
Wow! Welcome to the channel, my metal detecting brother!
Nice hunt, Steve. Now you have to buy her a detector.
Soon she and her brother can team up with my Simplex, while I use my legend!
Awesome memories Steve with your granddaughter Precious
Agreed! She loved it…and so did I!
Nice hunt! Congrats u2! Rk.
Thanks, man. We had a blast!
Very cool hunt so cool that your grandkids can spend time with you God Bless and happy dirt fishin…Virgil
@@wildmandigging3486 They love their Pop Pop very much! 💙💖💜
I enjoyed every single giggle, as I was editing!
💖🤗 I'll let her know the video has officially dropped. Very cool 🙌
I think I COULD have titled it "Giggle Hunt!" I loved hearing the fun and giggles…
@@HistoryintheHandMetalDetecting you most certainly could have. They watched it within 15 minutes of coming home from school....and she was smiles the whole time. Love ya, bug ya!
Fun video👍
It WAS fun! I could have titled it "Giggle hunt!" Loved her enthusiasm…
Great video I would love to go on a hunt with you and your diggin dog hope Max is ok and healed good God Bless and happy dirt fishin…Virgil
He’s all back to normal and enthusiastic again. When I go back to that spot, he’s not coming with me! I’m trying to have the self control to wait until my brother in law comes down in the early spring…he’d LOVE an aged spot like that!
Very cool hunt that half dime is awesome that is one of my top bucket lister God Bless and happy dirt fishin…Virgil
Hanks man! Good thing they sound like pennies…I think that’s the only reason other guys left them there🤣🤣
Very cool hunt nice to spend time with your grandson maybe he will get a detector and swing his self one day God Bless and happy dirt fishing.. Virgil
Thanks Virgil! One of his buddies lives in an old house, right next to an 1800’s schoolhouse…so I’d like to look around there sometime. I think he and his buddy can use my Simplex, and I’ll use my Legend. Should be a fun hunt!
I enjoy your narration. Your voice reminds me of Paul Lynde! Thanks for all the great content.
Thanks for watching! I’ve come to grips with what I can’t change about myself!🤣
Play money ??
It’s actually a late 1800’s German Pfennig?!?! What letters I can see match perfectly. Google 1876 German pfennig
My guess on mystery coin. 1 pfening- German, I believe. Nice finds cheif! Rk.
Thanks Richard! I’ll see if I can find more info…
I believe a Weimar era 1 reichs-pfennig is the one you have
Now that was a wicked hunt
Penny penny penny penny penny penny BAM! 2 silvers….
Nothing like seeing big silver in the dirt - congrats! Great finds
Thanks Bob! Just when I was getting tired of digging pennies…a double silver hole!
Thanks Steve love your videos don’t change a thing 🎉🎉🎉
Awe man, thanks! That hunt gives me reason to try more “cold turkey” asking! Even though the cow fencer was driving me nuts, there’s more good flat ground to hunt there. Definitely going back!
boom let's go let's go treasure and adventure ✌👵
When i was a kid.. probably 45 years ago, I grew up on a rural mountain where my parents still live. I was waking home from school near the top of the hill just off of the paved road in the dirt and kicked up what I thought was a bottle cap. Turned out to be a walking liberty quarter. I remember exactly where I found it. Worth going back with a metal detector?
It never hurts to look around! Although the closer you get to roads; the more metal trash is ALSO laying around!
@HistoryintheHandMetalDetecting the thing is is a dead end road with hardly any traffic. Just the few residents that live on the road

Welcome, fellow history enthusiast!
@@HistoryintheHandMetalDetecting Thank you!
I never seen a coin spill like that before, wish it would happen to me lol
Me neither! I was happy to find it, after all those Pennies!?
Looks like that Walker cleaned up for you. Nice barber quarter and cool old Motorcycle, Steve.
Thanks Dave! I’m glad I got out for a bit on Friday…
Great hunt. Congratulations on finding your first Silver half.
Thanks Jim! Just when I thought there’d be nothing but pennies🤣
boom let's go let's go treasure and adventure ✌👵
Awesome coin spill! Congrats on your 1st silver half! I've only found 3 Kennedys. 2 in a hole, one in a spill of 3. Rk.
Thanks Richard! Between the lawn full of pennies, and that crazy cow fencer zapping me in the headphones every 1.5 seconds…I needed the change of scenery! Just when I least expect it, another FIRST presents itself! In my experience, the fencers kind of mess with tones…and maybe even makes VDI's appear higher than normal. I was expecting a lot of those pennies to be dimes, but never found one? Good luck out there!

Thanks for your feedback, Kathleen! I was a teeter-totter man, myself!

Oooh, thanks William; the see-saw people are making a comeback!
Are you in PA? The camp ground looks some what familiar from my younger days.
Yes, eastern central Pa. It’s a really cool old place!
see saw
Thanks Harold! I always heard them called both…but it seems like more respondents say teeter totters? Interesting..
Teeter totters
Thanks for checking in, Chris. I really appreciate it. The teeter totter crowd has almost unanimously represented themselves here.
I'm in N Carolina and all I've ever said and heard is see saw
Interesting, thanks for the info! So far it’s 5 to 1 teeter-totter…although I heard them called see saws once in a while. I grew up in central New York State.

Thank you…noted! And it’s much more fun to say!

Great finds... congrats
Thanks Darin!
Nice hunt. Thanks for sharing. Great finds
Thanks! I still want to get down to Williamsport and do some detecting with you sometime.
@@HistoryintheHandMetalDetecting Your finds look a lot betther than mine. I think it may need to be reversed. I get up your way some time.
The half dime looks like it was dropped the day it was minted. Nice old Indians, Steve. Take care, my friend
Thanks Dave! It sounded like a penny in a pile of nails…which is probably the only reason nobody else dug it! I’m cool with that!
Rock and roll !!! COngratulations!!!!!!
Thanks you two! It’s about to get pretty over here in Pennsylvania…autumn is my favorite time of year
Congrats! Steve! That's a beauty! Both of your 1/2 dimes are wonderful!! Rk.
Thank you kindly, Rich! What a blessing to find two in the span of a day!
Really like the intro. All of the odd denomination coins are still on my bucket list. Just not enough settlement in Central Iowa from those times. Finding one would be insane. Silver in the hole, Gotta Love It!
I couldn’t believe my eyes…TWICE in 24 hours??? I’ve found a couple 2 cent pieces, and I’m still hoping to stumble across a trime that somebody missed…because THAT’S what I think happened for me on vacation. Both of those half dimes sounded like pennies, and they were probably skipped by others. And that’s also probably why I found a good handful of Indian Head pennies, but no silvers larger than a dime. Keep looking…especially near east/west travel routes where people traveled through.
New subscriber here awesome video. Happy hunting
Thanks, and WELCOME! Couldn’t believe I found a half dime…then I dug ANOTHER the next day…stay tuned.
