- Recently I was invited by Between The Iron (go check out his channel) to hunt a secret location LOADED with silver coins! Today was the day! We located most of these with the use of our pinpointers-mine a Garrett carrot, and his the Minelab Profind 35. Truly a GREAT day!

Back in the early days of metal detecting, those who had them would fill their pockets with silvers on a daily basis. That’s what this video reminds me of. Fun times!
I’ve heard of those days! Definitely a fun day!
Very unique situation for sure. Amazing finds and whoever discovered this spot in the first place you did an amazing job.
You’re right, total lightning strike! My friend Brazos’ dad was the one that found that area and I would say it was basically a random find for him as well. We have plans to go back with poison ivy killer. It is so infested right now that it’s hard to be motivated to plow into all that stuff!
@@randystreasureadventures awesome. We are up against similar issues. Good spots to hit but weeds are to high with excessive rain this year and now the poison oak is also getting going and will be very bad this year with all the rain. Stuff is bad to. Cannot even cut it out without ending up covered in it. So those spots are off until winter when it goes dormant. You will get back there.
@@goldendredger yeah, it was really bad when I had it, and I still have red marks on my arms from the rash, even though it has been three months! So yes, winter time…
My dad found it 9 years ago and I still found coins this week there.
Sweet hunting and proof that there's always more out there! Congrats, gentlemen! Love this Dallas area!
For sure!
After matching the skyline up I triangulated the location with the highway and did some research and it turned out that in late winter of 1964 their was a huge I’ve storm with major accident in that area with a Wells Fargo and Brinks armoured truck’s ending up in those woods with a reported loss of over a 100K and that’s my story and I’m sticking to it
Man, that is close! If you only would have taken into account the angle of the moon at apogee, or was it perigee that day! Changes everything! Lol… thanks for watching!
A wreck in 64 does not explain the bicentennials. Lol. Still sticking with that story??
@@Brando_Magnifico not sure what story you’re referring to, I don’t think a wreck is the origin of these coins. I don’t know why they are there, but have researched coin collection thefts and it seems possible that they were dumped after being stolen. Thanks for watching!
this would be a solo mission for me till i couldn't find anything else then id bring in others
Which is why I appreciate being taken there even more! I have some stuff that I’ll be taking Brazos to as well and hopefully our results will be awesome there as well! Thanks for watching!
Rare but fun times finding a cache of silver coins like that. Nice! 👍🏽
Definitely!
Practically unexplainable how those coins got there .....Amazing ! Got to be a cache that has been eroding for a long time
Yeah we’ve given up theorizing how they got there. We did drop in about a week ago but there just hasn’t been enough water through there to move much dirt, AND poison ivy is going NUTS in there! I still have red marks on my arms from having the rash two months ago…hard to get excited about plowing into all that. Instead I’ll be in the big Az in a couple weeks (again) to get more time on my 6000 and hit some new, very remote areas! Kinda the area that gigantic waterfall is that we talked about…
Everyone's dream, to find a hoard! Well done!
Thanks!
amazing,,,, and I am happy when I find one half dollar
That's insane! Bubba's gonna wonder what happened to his stash when he gets out of the pen!
Totally nuts... What's even more crazy is we haven't been able to get back out there due to activity there, both our work schedules, and POISON IVY...
Unbelievable! I just bought a detector, just delivered today. I can only hope for a fraction of what you’re pulling out of that honey hole. Earned a new subscriber with this video. Coil to the soil!
Good luck with the new detector.
Had a blast today! Great first hunt!
Me too! I’m tired but probably won’t sleep!
A friend of mine found a mason jar full of old silver dimes a few years ago. I`ve heard of things like this and know people who discovered gold and silver hoards but it has never happened to me. A guy I knew in DeSoto Parish Louisiana found thousands of gold coins in jars on his grandfather`s property. He refused to let me metal detect there. There`s certainly more on the site but they`re too paranoid to allow anyone to help them find it and they don`t know how. I know another place there where a man buried gold coins on his property and died afterwards. It was never found. Lots of random gold coins have been found in disturbed soil around the Logansport, Louisiana region.
Absolutely! That is a topic I was going to do a video about. Back before banks were insured by the FDIC people did not trust them, because if they were robbed, they lost their money. So it was very common that they would bury that money somewhere on the property. Certainly a lot of it was recovered, but as your story bears out, some of it wasn’t! Thanks for watching!
@@randystreasureadventures Next time you go out, Go to the other side of the covet see if there a trail you can follow that will lead you to the mother load of gold. Take some flags dig every 4 feet..
I'd check that Culver out lol maybe the coins were hid in the other end???
Maybe got wash away before the thief returned???
Yes, definitely! Should have some footage coming up soon of going back right now during the winter when all of the vegetation will be much thinner. Hopefully it will be epic as well! Thanks for watching!
That’s awesome I know how that Texas black clay and mud does those coins. Helluva hunt!
Thanks! Yes they are very black and I still haven’t tried to clean them. Too scared to damage them! The walking liberty’s are in super good condition, so I’m consulting with experts on how to clean them. Thanks for watching!
I leave all mine black right now besides rinsing then with water. I’ve been told cream of tartar but that involves rubbing them quite a bit. Also the foil trick with baking soda will damage them for numismatic collectors but at this point of being black I’m not sure if they are already past the point of now return.
some nice finds enjoyed watching
Thanks! A very different experience finding multiple coins while knowing more are still there! There’s been a poison ivy explosion there this spring and we may just wait for winter to return before going back!
Take a forestry header on a skid steer and clear out all that brush and clean house
Definitely would like to do that! We haven't been able to go back due to roadwork but hopefully soon!
WOW... Awesome Video and Finds Randy! That was an Amazing spot for sure!
Ed - he definitely killed it with the Minelab equinox. Check out my first video I made a month ago filing the spot for the first time. Using just a whites DFX. I have been going out there for over 10 years now and it has only been filmed twice. My first video I did a month ago and now Randy’s. All the other times we can home with hundreds of silver half’s was before I even got involved with TH-cam. But figure that would be a great place to start a channel. Me and Randy plan on getting quite a few more videos up.
th-cam.com/video/YCskSsoEuME/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Ed! I’m still in disbelief over such a crazy hunt!
Incredible location!
Definitely! Thanks for watching!
This is similar to Plugmaster Ford's Missouri finds of several years ago! There were hundreds of silver coins found in the remains of a barn fire years after the incident! Fantastic
I remember watching that so crazy.....
That was crazy! Might be a similar story. The land was rural up until recently.
@@randystreasureadventures how did this come about was it a robbery or a brinks truck wreck or......I've never seen that before. Auquachigger found a hoard of 178 silvers in a river bed but it was a Civil War crossing
@@The14lbBaby that’s a good question! We don’t know the answer to that. I research quite a bit of stuff, and I have not found any reference to something like that being lost or stolen in that area. All we can do is speculate…
@@randystreasureadventures it's totally mind blowing to see that I have a new permission that I'm gonna detect in the spring and the owner says he's found a few large cents on the surface just walking his property over the years but what you guys have is on another level lol
All I can say is WOW!!!
Yeah I’m still saying that myself! Thanks for watching!
Oh my Gosh!!! This crazy!!! Have Fun!!!
Thanks!
Check both sides of the culvert & in the culvert also, It could be coming down stream?
It’s all over the place to be honest. Upstream, downstream, side walls everywhere you can think of.
Unbelievable, unimaginable, I'm so envious and inspired, where's my hoard, it's out there!
Keep looking! Thanks for watching!
Holy crap Randy your videos up to over 30,000 views share some love send your viewers my way
I actually had the same reaction the other day when I saw the count! I wonder what the NEXT Creek video will bring…
@@randystreasureadventures hopefully if we get deep enough some gold coins, but I don’t think that is realistic since I think this hoard came from the silver round up of 1982 from all the banks
You're right if most everything is a key date or an error that's a stolen coin collection and the thief did not want to take the chance of holding on to it for any amount of time and he could not sell it right away!
That’s what I believe as well. I have some footage I am working on editing as well that I have an uploaded yet. Hopefully me and Randy can get back together soon and get another video for together.
Well done,Randy.
Thanks Vicki!
Awesome hunt keep going ...
Thanks! Definitely will!
Awesome finds
Thanks!
Man that’s just crazy 🏋🏻♂️
Totally!
Very cool 👍🦀
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
Great video, somebody really liked their half dollars.
Right!? Tons of them..
Keep the location to yourself ... awesome finds.
Will do-my buddy went back yesterday and found an intact roll of halves! I couldn’t make it due to work… Thanks for watching!
I'm thinking someone stole them and then maybe hid them along that creek and was never able to go back for whatever reason.
I agree! Thanks for watching!
Well the container the coins were in eroded away over time, moving the coins downstream over the years.....might be worth looking upstream their may be more
We were waiting for rain but as of last night that was taken care of! I think the next step will be some minor excavation of the bank, as well as spraying the poison ivy to try to get rid of it. Things are going to green up around here pretty quickly, and once that happens, that place will be mostly unhuntable.
We have found dozens still in the plastic rolls. I have one video of a completely intact roll of quarters. In the cache the person collected bicentennial quarters as well.
New subscriber here. This is an awesome video hh
Thanks! Hoping to get back there someday…
That's so damn cool.
It really is, now if we can just get some rain to move some dirt…
I also got a even better place then your s I got a permission that was a old amusement park that was established in 1875 that sat by a decent size lake that had several beautiful Motels along its beaches. So what made this place even better then yours well they ended up closing the amusement park down because of financial problems and just basically trying to keep the old rides going for the amusement park the park finally ended in 2015. One of my friends bought some of the property closed to the beach’s and he wanted to make a huge board walk with a few small Tiki s bars so he had a few hundred yards of old original sand from the lake and shoreline removed and placed across the road in a abandoned field the sand stands closed to 1 and half stories high and is as long a few school buses. Lol it’s like finding million dollar s gold everywhere valuable old bottles there was so many coins I was picking off the road they were falling out of the Dump trucks just the silver from the ground and rings was in the hundreds it’s are second year there now and we maybe got to the middle lol so far me and my son got close to 500 half s oldest is sealed to Kennedy a hundred silver Morgan s a few hundred gold ring s a few hundred silver pendants broches watches you get the pictures. Once in a life time I will soon be able to retire oh funny you said the coins all all Blue looking except for a large amount of later Roosevelt s I guess maybe they haven’t been In over a hundred years like the other silver s I am so grateful I can retire much earlier then expected my buddy was all ready a millionaire I told him about all are treasures he said s good for you my old pal what a good friend well good luck and get all those goodies lol
That’s awesome and proves what I have said to people over the years-there is a lot of treasure out there to be found! Sometimes it’s just not where we expect it to be.
@@randystreasureadventures thanks buddy we were going to just MD we’re some of the rides we’re and the beach s in which we may still do but I don’t it I was never a selfish person as a fact I gave over a half of my money finds to the homeless people in my state well be safe and god bless you all
holy crap. Ill betcha you will be able make even more money on your find if you cointact a youtuber and film yourself digging up all the coins..lots of money to be made doing that. ill try to find someone you can trust to help you out...
they are called the hoover Boys, check them out! email them and tell them what i just told you ... good luck. you wont regret it & remember... you only get these kind of chances once or twice a lifetime..kelly
ps hoover boys are on youtube
he's baaaaack.
Looks like a armored car lost a bag of silver right by that culvert many tears ago!
Hard to say. Ten years ago that road was dirt and that area was fields..
Great hunt guys
Thanks!
Very cool. I’ve got access to a lot of land that was the location of a civil war skirmish. I’m looking at getting a metal detector and start my journey there. I was looking at the Nokta Simplex Uktra. What are your thoughts/advice? Thanks!
That would be an awesome place to start! The Nokta machines are really good! The legend would be one to look at also, I hear tons of good things about it. Depending on budget you might even look at the Deus 2. There are many good choices! Go check out Metal Detecting NYC channel, he reviews metal detectors and would probably be a good resource. Thanks for watching and good luck!
Get a minelab 800 or 900
Unbelievable! Are you in Texas? If you get to Ohio, look me up!
What were these coins ringing up as?
That were 91 on the DFX and 31-34 on the equinox 800 and 600.
Wtf
The little scoop with little on the shovel just happened to bring the target out? Guys .....
The shovel didn’t work well and scratched one of the coins so I just dug my hands in with my pro pointer and pulled them out.
awesome :)
What's the reason for these being there? Best guess anyways? This is CRAZY
I think it’s likely a stolen coin collection.
Have you heard of Jimmy Sierra's coin hoard find? Look it up. Great video
Yes, been awhile since I heard that story!
Insane find
Indeed! Thanks for watching! More to come…
Like a kid in a candy store
Was it that obvious? Lol..
did you manage to get all of the half dollars out of that creek or are there some coins remaining in there as-well?
I believe there are more-probably many more! We’ll see soon! Thanks for watching!
tried finding the channels, brazosTX , betweentheiron, no such luck finding them. Could you post the links.
Working on that, should have it linked in a bit!
Steve here’s a link - just started filming not as much content yet, but we will have more coming. th-cam.com/video/YCskSsoEuME/w-d-xo.html
Wow end of the rainbow
Would same so! Does that make me a leprechaun?
I can't here a word your saying mate but i guess someone dropped a hoard of coins half dollars i think so congratulations on your hunt mate.
You got it! I just got a microphone, so hopefully that will help things in the future! Thanks for watching!
Pozdrawiam Serdecznie :)
Any creek next to a road is literally full of trash, and with the concrete work the state has done. Makes this video very implausible on how, right up next to a metal covert you're using a detector and pulling coins. The same covert the state or county likes to clear and keep clean.
It’s not a metal culvert. Also you may be picturing something other than how it really is. This is a small drainage. Picture concrete pouring out of the chute, basically spraying a little around, tossing in a few rocks, no rebar, and expecting that to take care of things. The concrete is already broken in places! Also the state quite obviously did not do this. It does have a good amount of trash, that’s for sure, but that does not stop us when we literally know exactly what tones and numbers we’re looking for in our machines. The first find was before the concrete was poured in there, and was visual. Everything is based on that initial find but now using electronics.
I'm a metal detectorist too. The only way this is possible is if this creek ran through some ones private buried hoard from years ago and over time dispersed the coins or if it was ounce a popular swimming hole. You stand a better chance of winning the lottery. This is Fake click bait.
@@colbysvids sorry you feel that way but it’s quite real. You can also go look at Between the Iron’s video about it posted way before mine. I would chide you just a bit-that attitude will keep you finding minor trinkets. If you don’t believe you can or will find something significant, you won’t!
@@randystreasureadventures theres always people out there that are non believers..... nice of your friend to give you a call... i hope you gave him that peace dollar
@@kellymichaud6442 I did!
It's strange that there's such a wide range of Dates on the coins 🤔
Yes it is. I’ve found 6 or 7 articles from the late 70’s into the 80’s referencing coin collections being stolen in the surrounding area. With the dates ranging like they do, I feel it has to be one of those, or some other possibly not reported.
@@randystreasureadventures I just started metal detecting 3 years ago but I have found some amazing stuff including a few silver coins no gold yet but I hope to find some one-day
@@Wanderingpyro a gold coin is still on my bucket list! And multiple gold coins hopefully all in the same location is definitely on the big bucket list! Those are the kinds of things that I’m researching for and it takes a lot of work because there are a lot of stories out there that have either been embellished or completely made up just to sell magazine somewhere. Nonetheless, they do exist. I’m convinced of it!
@@randystreasureadventures same here it's gotta be out there somewhere hopefully all the other relic hunters have not beat us to it good luck to you
@@Wanderingpyro you too!
Seems to good to be true,kinda like they might have been planted. Not that I'm saying your liars,but it is a little fishy,plus your not taking very good care of the coins that got pulled out,but what do I know ? I still enjoyed your video, I hope that if your not collecting those coins your able to get a decent amount for them.
It does seem too good to be true! We try to take the best care we can, but it’s difficult to fish around in the water and mud and pull these coins out. I was not prepared with a way to keep the coin separated, once found, but will be next time!
I have not sold a single one, these and all the other I have found over the years are all in my collection. This was the first time I had taken anyone down there and shared this location with. I did a video a few week prior and that was the first time it has ever been filmed. There are over 600 the collection of silver half dollars now, and hundreds more of the Susan B Anthony Dollars.
I hope you know that your video contains GPS coordinates unless you disable that feature in the camera and GoPro's doesn't allow it.
Long disabled, but thanks for pointing out the possibility! Thanks for watching!
There's NO rebar in that culvert?
There actually is some, I just never had iron turned down real low with my new settings. But not a problem for the machine.
why didnt you go to the other end of the culvert?you found all those coins right at the end of a culvert
What you’re seeing is just what we did that day. I have talked with Brazos about this and took a peek at the other end. Basically, there is no other end in the sense that it is not a creek that continues on the other side of the road. It’s just a drainage hole from the neighborhood. turns out, this is not a creek at all. Actually, it was a drainage that was cut in at the time the neighborhood was built.
should check the other side of tube (inlet)
I’m told that has been done, but would like to anyway. Knowing how water flow drop heavier objects like gold and silver (if you see some of my older videos, you will know that I am also a prospector), I can picture where generally most of the coins would be. The coins are a little bit different because they’re flat and so they can flutter around but in general they should collect in certain places. I did run my detector as far up that tube that I could, and did not get any signals
@@randystreasureadventures ,
Yes, I was wondering if you were looking for those low tones as well.
Odd there would be so many right there at that opening, unless there are a ton right under the tube. It's as thought they ran that tube right on top of where they threw the coins. It does seem like someone hid those coins in the stream hoping to come back to them and never did. Then they built the culvert nearly or right on them.
@@thenavigator5889 yes, concrete was poured-not thick, with cantaloupe size rocks for erosion control. You can hear the targets underneath!
Hello Randy
Hello!
are they magnetic or can you tell if they r possibly fake?
They’re real from what I can tell. Non-magnetic, scratch easily and tarnished black.
I have a sump pump.
Did he say " Susan B Anthony half dollar?
Yes, we found some Susan B. Anthony coins as well. Just adds to mystery… Thanks for watching!
@@randystreasureadventures first off, this is what many of us dream of, props to those that shared this site with you so that you guys could share with us, thank you. Oh and the reason I even mentioned the Susan B coins is that they were only in the one dollar denomination, I figured it was a slip of the tongue.
@@samueljames9342 it was, lol. I get excited, what can I say?😎
Samuel - Yes I did but was just nervous being filmed, I was excited and wasn’t reading from a script it slipped out wrong. I find mostly half dollars there and so I misspoke. Hope you enjoyed watching. The first video can be found on my channel where when I get excited I lose my train of thought. Lol
That culvert isn't even 30 years old so those aren't old coins or lost old finds per the dates either.... Ya this doesn't sir well with me
The dates are the dates, there’s no solid explanation for the reason they’re there. But there are fewer now than before we went!
6 or 7 times? I would have been back hundreds of times. What gives? Don't think it's a SECRET any more.
There is a lot of activity in the area. My understanding is that it is less intrusive to let nature do the work of uncovering vs extensive digging and the inevitable scenario where somebody wonders what is going on down there.
6 or 7 because it takes a while to recover from the extreme poison ivy that is every plant you see. Impossible to wash off even when being gojo. It is too great of a find to not share the video with everyone, and we will be showing more as we go. Hope you enjoyed Randy’s video.
@@brazosTX exactly! That is what I am going through right now! Of course, it was definitely worth it. I will just be more careful next time, but even if it means another week of misery, I will still be in!
ya id live there till i found them all
DIG WITH YOUR HANDS ON the silver!
A WHOLE LIKE THAT! You will scratch
That’s what I ended up doing, the shovel was only needed to break the soil up. Thanks for watching,
Those years AREN'T from that long ago.... Why hide them? Not like the was a depression or something....
Record closer PLEASE.... Audio is low for cell use only viewing
I got a microphone, just need to remember to use it..
Awesome fines but where is the excitement., volume?
You didn’t see my excitement? Lol. No I was pretty excited about finding those coins! Brazos though has been there so many times that he expects to find coins like that, and after a little while maybe it just becomes a little bit of just recovery mode. The volume is horrible, I know, but I do have a microphone that I will use on future videos.
Did he say he wants to focus on big treasure hoards? You and everyone…
Lol, yes but not to say this isn’t one! Just that this is the type of stuff I and he focus most. Thanks for watching!
answer: none. everyone lived on edge of poverty back then, they didn't have silver dollars
That and some of the dates of the other coins we find tell us that that was stashed in that area much later probably in the 70s. Thanks for watching!
@@randystreasureadventures exactly...my grandparents bought 52 acre defunct farm w/house in 1947 for $3500. Grandpa made $1.50 an hour in the coal mines and never grossed more than $3,000/yr. He raised 5 kids on that salary. If you dropped a coin you'd better damn find it or you may go hungry back then ! lol 😉 I detected the property and found 3 wheat pennies and 2 Merc dimes and '64 Roosevelt dime. and one of those Mercs I dropped myself there as a kid. you won't find tons of valuable coins on a typical working class old farm, they lived on the edge of sustenance. The farm next door had 12 kids.
Ummmmm ....yeah........sure.
Yes, we have been pulling these half dollars out for a decade. Someone put them there, but it was not us…. Over 500 now 600 silver half dollars has been found at this little location
Need company?
😎
These are either stolen or this is staged... Makes no sense.... Older silver would make sense... NOT newer
Not staged at all, go check out my first video I did weeks before this video, first time ever filmed there. Randy was the first person taken down there outside my family in over 10 years.
If you find a half of a half of a half you can buy a quarter pounder :)
Lol! At today’s prices I’m not so sure, ha ha ha. Thanks for watching!
That creek is so polluted
Yes, sadly. Thanks for watching!
Fake
Not at all fake very real. This is the second video that we have released of the spot. Been going to this place for over 10 years and every time we pull this many out.
