Gee that must have been a janitors house with all those keys. You can probably open every door in the neighborhood. Another good video keep up the hard work!
Haha. I was thinking the same thing when I dug them. Kind of made the neighborhood a safer place by getting rid f them. Thank you for checking the video out.
I was in Mansfield Ohio visiting relatives around 15 years ago. I got permission and did an old house. I found IH’s and a barber dime. That’s when I had a whites XLT or DFX. The IH’s were scratchy sounding maybe because of the dirt. Thanks again for your videos. I learn a lot! Please post soon.
Glad you like the videos. The old home sites are my favorite with the ones that fell down in the 1800’s being my favorite. Standing homes are fun because you can feel the history a little better by seeing the home. Thanks for tuning in to check out the video.
Locksmith or not, I believe you have set the record! 😁 Great finds. Those belt buckles will be desirable to some collectors. Have a good week and stay hydrated.
haha... it's going to be hard to beat that's for sure. I like the belt buckles.. there is a guy I know that would really like them in which I have them boxed up and ready to take with me on my next trip back home. Thank you for checking out the video.
I am from Northwest Ohio, and always enjoy your videos. Very informational! As far as that big semi buckle goes. I was in high school in 1980 and remember very well people (like my uncle) wearing those big bulky buckles.
That’s cool you are from northwest Ohio... my wife and I go to Kelley’s Island a lot and I frequent Camp Perry in July.... nice historical area up there. I might just polish up that buckle and pass it off to someone.. it’s in pretty good shape. Thanks for checking the video out.
Awesome video!! I am glad you stopped the video after a full hot day. You need to look out for yourself as well. Beautiful music with the scenery. Way to go Squirrel!! Hello from Canada
Thank you.. did my best on this video. I noticed my personality and speech changing as the day went on while editing video. I could see in myself I was getting wore out... I’m about to turn 40 next year so I need to start paying attention to my body telling me to slow down a little. Thank you for the kind comments and for checking the video out.
You remind me of a really cool science teacher I had back in high school. Your enthusiasm is contagious and enlightening!Thank you for another great effort,hope there’s a lot more coming.Cheers!
Good to hear.. I don't teach science but I do teach part time at a local University dealing with land surveying. Very glad you enjoy what I'm doing on here and encourages me to push forward with making more videos. Your kind words are greatly appreciated.
Loved the video. So many keys and toy cars; to the point of crazy numbers 😂 I'm glad you were able to finally pull some coins out of the ground and then get that new permission 👍
Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes... after about the 4th matchbox car mixed with key finds I was getting a little worn out on finding them. Lol. Finally hit some older stuff later thankfully. Thanks for checking out the video.
Your welcome and glad it's helping your understanding of the machine. Main thing is just have fun out digging with anything you can learn to better the hunt. Thanks for checking the video out.
Dang!! thank you. I try my best to just talk like you all are with me so you all can tell what I'm thinking even if it's a wrong ID on a target. LOL. The video aspect of the metal detecting hobby has been an enjoyable experience as well as the enjoyment of meeting such a great community of folks on here.. it's a pleasure to be able to be a part of all of this and thankful you and others are on here checking out what I'm doing.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Agree I find detecting hugely rewarding and very relaxing. but before I started on Utube it was a very lonely hobby. Now I feel there is a huge global community that is watching and interested in all the history and treasure we find. So enjoyable and a hobby that I will hopefully continue into retirement.
Thank you.. I always try my best with the videos. Got really hot that day and I needed to take more breaks than I did.. hindsight is always 20/20. Thanks for checking out the video and good luck on any upcoming hunts.
Haha I know how you feel with those keys, I believe now I could open my own shop with what I have lol. I have been rocking that 6 Inch coil lately and it is by far my favorite, especially with that weight difference. Keep up the great work and that amazing editing you do. Tennessee Adventures
Keys all over the place.. I guess we are making the world a safer place by disposing of lost keys.. never know what they could open security wise. I will have the 6" out more as times goes, I can already tell it's going to be a great tool. Thanks for watching.
3:00 I remember as a child there was this old man that used to live a few houses away, he would sit in his front yard all day long, with a big box of keys and locks, just trying to match them up! I'm sure if I would go detect there, id find a lot of them too .
Hopefully he found a couple to match up... I guess that would be a good way to pass time. 🙂. I’m sure that spot would be a place to hunt if searching for keys. It would be awesome if they were skeleton keys he was testing and possibly losing.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 That was nearly 30 years ago and he was a retired an older gentleman Then lol I'm guessing there was a few of those too, sadly half of what used to be the driveway is now part of a paved road .
It's a great tool to have out in the field. I have a couple sites I have been to many times that I need to get it out on to see what else can be pulled up. Thanks for checking out the video.. let me know when it's a good time to come up.
Thank you Henry. With these type of sites that have been lived in by many families over the years there is always a wide range of targets to find, it's nice for a change up. Thank out for checking out the video and good luck with any hunts you have coming up.
I have a theory about those keys. I noticed that none of them had teeth. Blank keys like those were stolen quite often from old Sears stores and from hardware stores. I bet a kid took them from a store and left them out there in the yard, not wanting to get into trouble. Made for a great spill find though. You found a hoard.
You may be spot on with your theory.. there were a lot of toys in that that yard very near the location I found the keys. Haha.. yes, it did make for a good spill find and sure surprised me when I found it. Thanks for checking out the video. :)
14 keys and uncut =) I'm a locksmith. The top nickel-plated key is for a Honda from the 70 (thru) 80s (hence that little bump at the end) and the key with the triangular shaped hole (for the ring) is an older early 60s Ford key H19. Most of the other keys are Russwin-Corwin keys. (designated by an RU on the key body) They died out in popularity in the early 70s. Couple GM keys in there as well (designated by a B##) So, Im wondering if at some point it wasn't actually used as a locksmith shop? I can see if they were cut and hence maybe dropped and they had them all bound together with a now dissolved string, but they're not cut... people just do not carry a dozen + keys around in their pocket for the sheer joy of it lolol Thanks, Will
@@ftwopointeight Haha... I seem to always get 5 dislikes from the same folks but that's ok. Just wish they would speak up and say why they are so dissatisfied with the videos and why they keep watching each video. LOL.
Wow this is great info... if anyone ever does a book on metal detecting finds for the normal people I hope they consult you for info to tell the story about keys found. it's actually very helpful to identify activity periods for the site, etc. Thank you for taking the time to comment and add educational info.. greatly appreciated. Very true on carrying around that many blank keys with not real purpose... may have been dropped by a locksmith.. I was thinking on a snowy day and after the keys sank some though thaw and freeze they were hidden in the spring to see and pick up.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 I try to use every resource when dating a site, whether its dates on coins or when a particular found item can be identified =) I just happen to know keys lolol Keep up the good work.
WoW, so many comments I want to leave. My digging partner, Dalton E, and I watched this video on our lunch break from digging today. (We're both Nox users) Gotta say, that MACK truck belt buckle was INCREDIBLE! (I'd bet you'd get a few bucks for that on eBay!!!) Okay, as I'm a little older than you, here's the skinny on the SHELL Aluminum tokens/coins you found: In the late 1960's, early 1970's when I was a little goober, SHELL Gas stations did a promo, and you got a state coin for every ten gallons of gas or whatever. They also gave out a thick paper USA map, about the size of a dinner placemat, and each state had 2 slits in it, so you could slide each state coin on top of it's actual location on the map! They are still collectible today! I recently found about a dozen coins in an old box from storage from my mother's estate, and they sold immediately on eBay! Thanks for another wonderful video. HH Rob Diggin' Florida' w/ Rob!
The Mack Truck Belt Buckle? Well, I would first take it to my local Metal Detecting club meeting and put it out on the display table for that month's finds, and I might hang on to it for a little while to display, but if it was a piece that didn't have sentimental value to me, or if it sat in a box of stuff you find, why not let someone who appreciates it and would wear it regularly enjoy it?
I found the belt buckle to be a great find as well especially since it's still very usable. I actually have a friend back home that I am going to take it to since it's vintage and holds a story behind sitting in the ground for years to be found metal detecting.. I will give it to him so he can enjoy it. I see you had spoke about selling, was questioned and then replied with a great reply of others being able to enjoy the finds. Makes total sense... I typically just give away my finds but selling some would help out with all the costs of doing these videos, seems with every move I make to upgrade things all of this gets more expensive. I have never sold anything besides a smashed up solid gold pocket watch I found which I turned around the profit to buy my first White's V3i... I like it when a hobby supports itself financially. Thanks for commenting with the great info on the tokens and for checking out the video.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Thanks for replying. Yes, now that I've sunk the money into the Nox 800 (right after I bought the big 15" NEL coil for my 705-because a Nox wasn't going to be available for 6 months) the g/f said she would greatly appreciate if this is where my MD equipment stayed put for a while, so I too have decided to have the hobby pay for itself. I want to venture into water hunting, so my next big purchase is one of those big water scoops you see everyone on YT using. Not cheap. But, luckily I have a g/f whose not into jewelry too much, and I found a pair of Michael KORRS designer earrings that don't interest her, and what am I going to do with them beside stare at them in my jewelry finds case, so they are going to an eBay auction, as is a Boy Scout gold plated charm I found on a tot lot. Let some parent get it for their Boy Scout son and put it back to good use instead of me just showing it off. I've never sold any of my ring finds or relics, but I'm going to try these two items! HH Rob
Thank you DG27 :) I saved the matchbox cars and wanted to send them to you but they aren't in good enough shape to roll.. wheels are falling off. LOL. I'm hoping the luck the Hello Kitty ring brought amps back up again so I can score another ring. The silver one I found a couple videos back turned up too brittle to fix and is still flat so finding another ring in a little better shape would be a fun find. The same guy did the trime necklace I posted on Instagram. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video. Hope all is well. :)
Haha... yes. a ton of keys. Glad you enjoy the videos and thank you for the good luck wishes. I hope to be back out soon to hunt Shaums again.. I'm a little behind on comment replies since I traveled the past few days. Thanks for checking out the video.
Thank you. :) Yes... I reused by factory arm cuff on the Anderson shaft to keep what decals I had. Turns out your decal showed up nicely in that shot :) Thanks for contributing to the hobby in what you provide here on youtube as well as other social media platforms. :)
I was expecting maybe 3 or 4 out of that hole as a lot of keys in one plug.. LOL.. ended up with many more. LOL.. I need to hit a coin spill like that. Thanks for checking out the video.
thanks for taking me along love finding kids toys and keys more fun than clad to me really enjoy your videos pretty cool that people come to you and ask if you want to hunt lol
Your welcome and glad you joined in on the hunt. I like to find about anything when detecting but my heart is in the old stuff. The city lot detecting this summer is good for a change. Thank you for watching. :) take care.
haha... I have enough to go around that's for sure. I'm behind on replies due to traveling but I should be out to make another video this week hopefully, it actually rained through the night last night so the soil should be good to go for detecting. Thanks for checking out the video.
Thanks Louis. My wife was back home in Kentucky and I had to work Friday which made for a wide open day for hunting. Better out detecting than not doing much at the house here in Ohio.
All kinds of stuff turns up in yards like this and makes for an interesting day. 🙂 thanks for your kind words about the video and for tuning in. Makes all this video creating totally worth it with folks enjoying what I’m doing.
Another excellent video ! My dad used to let us kids play with the old keys . Maybe that’s what happened on your key spill . Love finding old cars also, I give them to my grandson .
Thank you, I’m glad that you enjoyed the video. That’s a good note to make because when I was a child I also had keys I played with... I’m sure they are out front of childhood home buried deep. Might just have been the same case for me to find these keys. The matchbox cars and toys a cool to find and I too try to salvage some of them and get them to people I know with children that would play with them. Thanks for checking out the video. 🙂
Thank you.. I try my best to capture the hunt. I have had some training doing videos for land surveying on Instagram for a couple years before I took a dive into making metal detecting videos. Took a long time to find my cadence but finally did... all in due time I guess. Thanks for you kind words and for checking out the videos. Good luck and happy hunting.
Thank.. had a good time out there. You never know what's going to show up hunting in yards like these.. makes it fun discovering. Glad you are enjoying the videos and thankful you tune in to check them out.
Square Nail Squirrel no problem. Your channel is what metal detecting is all about. I love to see what’s next. I just wish you used a AT MAX so I could see how you set it up.
Interesting finds. I am interested in seeing how the six inch coil does. I haven't seen any videos with that coil. I look forward to more videos with it. Keep swinging.
Thanks.. all kinds of stuff comes out of the ground on sites like these and makes for a fun hunt. I will make more videos using the 6 inch coil and as I form a better opinion on it I will voice it. So far it has lived up to the laser beam description others have described it as and I'm looking forward to more used with it. Thanks for checking out the video.
Lots and lots of keys and cars that’s for sure. Lol just wish one of the belt buckles was one of grandpas discarded civil war buckles. 🙂. Had a good time though but got wore out. Thanks for checking the video out.
Thank you Russ and glad that you enjoy what I'm doing on here. I'm about to turn 40 next year. :) and the reason when in videos I only call 1979 and older coins "older".. :) LOL Thanks for checking out the videos and good luck with any hunts you have coming up.
Thanx for another quality Vid Square Nail. And thanx for the settings & TID's too. The game that you mentioned at end reminds me of Geo Caching that I did several years ago. Basically, someone left instructions on a geocache website and you looked for a container stuffed with goodies and left something for the next finder. This could be catchy thing. I look forward to the next Vid.
Your welcome and glad you enjoyed the video. I’ve never done the geo cache hunts but I have found them while out land surveying... I’ve read the notes inside as well as where people sign off that they found the cache. Looks like an adventure to try out sometime but with what I do for a living I search and find monuments all day for boundary’s which is very similar is the adventure. Thanks for checking the video out a good luck with any hunts coming up.
What a marathon squirrel! Nice Indian & wheats, luv the cars and tokens. The bourbon token probably had a cord thru it and was tied to the bottle - that's why a repro of award. A nest of keys aka "a ring" 😂 When you said that bldg is a shop, I thought for what kind of work, then hoping not a locksmith. Keys & big buckles are a sign area has not been detected before. Could be more... Good to see you bust out the 6" coil...how did you like it?
Haha... yes a marathon is a good description for it. I have looked into the bourbon token more and found that they are actually classified in a token book for values. They date back fairly far to about 1900 so being that is was my first one of the kind... I'm very happy with it. haha on "a ring"... the nest is wording from my surveying life... I find a nest of bricks to locate old stones.. carried though I guess. So far the 6" is great but it will take some getting used to.. it truly is a laser beam. So super small with it's signal to the ground.. liking that a lot. Thank you for checking out the video and talk soon. :)
around 13:50 i believe seconds what's left of a bicycle chain link. I thought when I moved up to the 800 I'd be a better digger but still can't tell what's down there till i dig it. Need to invent one that takes picture of what's down there, but I guess that'd take all the fun out of it.
I kept trying to see the third number but could never make it out... we will never know if it's a 77 or not. :) Thanks for tuning in to check out the video.
Nice hunt. It is hard to last in that heat now . I will need that small coil eventually for couple spots with small saplings all over the ground. Otherwise probably there is little need for smaller coil on Equinox. Enjoyed the video, ATB, Sebastian.
Thank you. All kinds of different targets on sites like this and good for a change up. Very lucky to be scoring all these permissions. The 6” seems to be very powerful and really holds true to the laser beam description folks have described it as. Makes a great tool to have in the kit. Thanks for checking out the video. 🙂
Haha!! Yes, sure was a lot of keys in one plug. Thanks for tuning into my channel and subscribing... means a lot to have folks on here checking out what I’m doing. Good luck with any hunts you have coming up.
Your welcome.. it's a pleasure to share these hunts. I would like to get the 15 eventually.. I think it would help out on my field hunts. Once you get some more time out using it would you comment on it at some point as to how you feel about it?
One of the best videos ever. I love that you spent the time to let everyone know that research is imperative! I'll get you a good address for that Union token as soon as the Capt and his family move out. Fantastic information!
Thank you Ted... I try my best with these. I run into all kinds of complications out filming and detecting but I always try to make the best of it. Thank you for your kind comments. 🙂 take care.
Thanks you and I’m glad the context I’m covering of on makes for good video. I’ll look at the I down again but that one digit I just can’t make out... sure would be nice if it was a 77 though. Thank you for checking out the video.
Haha!! Yes... tons of coins in the same plug. I was thinking maybe by the third or fourth that was all but each time the pinpointer went down another key showed up. 🙂. Made for an interesting day. Thanks for tuning in to check out the video.
You should try switching coils on the same target. Pick like 4 signals of varying depths , then go from the 11 to the 6 without digging. See if the 6" gets it. Listen to the difference in the tone if any . Check depth, then dig them to see what they were.
Thank you for the suggestion and I just made note of it in my phone list of ideas for videos. Once I get some more time with the 6" coil so my understanding of it's capabilities is better.. I will make a video which includes you idea. I think it would be fund and help folks understand if the coil is a good choice for them.. anything to better the hunt for all. Thank you for commenting and for checking out the video.
Square Nail Squirrel no problem, I have done this with my Eagle 2 & V3i , I will swap on the V3i from a 6" elipt 10 D ,13 Detech round, 12x15 SEF coil. Especially in this old fairgrounds that went from 1840's-1920's only thing you find are old square nails , shotgun shells and old coins.
Haha... yes, a first for sure. Now that I have a large key spill I need to find a large coin spill with that many coins.. :) Thanks for checking out the video.
Nice finds! You really put in a lot of extra effort setting up establishing shots and varying your perspective and it results in a much higher quality video. Good work! I have a lot to learn. :-) You might be able to toothpick that IHP once it dries. Very often there is a beautiful green patina under the crud.
Thanks! Lots of keys and cars it still and interesting day out digging. I try my best to keep things changing in view and what I’m showing while detecting. I have made two brackets that really help out in the field making video. Just hope if one breaks I can reproduce them. Lol. I’ll give that Indian another look and see if I can clean it up better... would be nice if shows another 7 under the crusty film. Thanks for checking the video out.
Do you like finding a mix of relics ? Or would you just like sticking to the coins and such ? I like a display of a large mix of relics. Of course the coins and old old relics are the greatest. Love you channel and appreciate the tutorial son setting up the detectors. Best on TH-cam.
I like finding anything that comes out of the ground that's interesting. I'm into finding old stuff mainly with coins and such included in the mix. To tell you the truth I like the coins because of the dates associated with them.. tells the story of the activity that was present on the site by year... I am actually not an avid coin collector although through metal detecting I have an extensive coin collection. For me the hobby is discovering, exploring and the adventure that comes from the buried history.. doesn't have to be an ancient gold coin to be precious and interesting.. just a simple flat button or a harmonica reed is just as exciting. I tend to think of the families and people that lost the items I find especially when I find silver or a gold ring.. I feel sympathy at times because of the loss of something so valuable to them. Thank you for checking out my videos and for commenting with such kind words.. hopefully my reply is accurate enough to make sense.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 yeah, I understand. I love the history. Like you said a nice old button Community tells as much of a story as a coin. It's just with the coins you get do get a date somewhat. I've always loved history my dad might step dad started me out bottle digging when I was like 9 years old. Got the bug and never lost it. Please keep doing what you're doing. I enjoy it a lot. Hope you're having a great week. See you on the tube.
Thank you and glad you liked the video. I'm running an Anderson currently.. by gift. So far.. it's improved the hunt three fold. I saw in the equinox book I'm letting folks borrow there is a company that has one with a knuckle in the middle where the machine just folds instead of telescoping... it looks ultra interesting.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 my 800 is making a squeezing noise while swinging it.. it's in the crimp nuts... Looking for a new shaft with less connection points.... too bad after spending nearly $760 on it, I have to buy a new shaft... Lol
@@leskobrandon538 If you listen closely to the videos I have made since I incorporated the Anderson shaft.. it squeaks as well. I would try using graphite powder in the joints to quieten down things... I am going to try it. Just don't use any oils since they break down plastics and collect dirt.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video. I don't have a video about the bag.. once it's able to be released I will. I currently need a little over $900 to for the federal patent and trademark office which is my next stumbling block. Once you see the Kydex digging knife holder on my side pouch things are getting closer to being finalized. Thanks for checking the video out.
That's a lot of keys in one hole. And they all look uncut which is strange to find, but you had a bunch of strange finds in that yard lol. Nice IHP. So did you notice a ton of different with the "6 coil or did it just force you to slow down so you heard the targets better? I started a new location today and tried cleaning off some of the top clad. Came home with about $7 in clad, 2 wheat cents and a icecream bucket of trash. Going back to hit it tomorrow. Going to really slow down and concentrate on the deeper targets. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Sure is a lot of keys in one plug... first for me. Sure would have been nice if it were old coins in that count in one hole. Lol. I like the 6” so far by limited time in use. I switch coils a lot depending on site conditions. I’ll comment on it more as I get more use of it. Good luck with that site... getting that top layer off really helps out a lot. Takes a lot of work on some sites but the reward sometimes is totally worth it. have fun out there and thanks for checking out the video.
Another great video. Thanks for sharing. Did you get a new camera setup, or are you using different settings? Seems like you're frame rate is higher than before. Also, I would love to know more about your MD pouch. Maybe a separate video if you made it yourself? Thanks again
Thank you and glad you liked it. The camera is a new iphone XR, my old iphone 7 was broke at work. From what I can tell the new XR camera is way better. I will make a video on the pouch once it's available. I hit a trademark block of over 900.00 this past weekend that I need to save up for before I can move forward with the whole deal.. becoming part of the design patent. Sorry for the delay and thanks for checking the video out.
you doing great . if when you coming to Austin ?? I live about 50 miles from there and work in that area , and lets meet maybe hunt some , you can show me how to get permission
Alan... I'd like to meet up but it's a fly in, get a rental, pick up the antique my wife bought in an auction and make it back to OH for work on Monday type trip. I do this quite often.. kinda like a mission and it's fun. :) Maybe on a trip down to visit we can catch up. Fort Worth is the most popular place for us to go while down.. not to far away.
A lot of great stuff man, great day of hunting..all those keys 😂! That’s awesome you bagged another permission. You outta try out those Neil Jones settings, I think you will like it a lot, especially with that 6” coil. How are you like that 6” by the way?
Thank you.. long but great day of hunting. Yes.. I may have hit a record for the number of keys found in a single hole. LOL Is the Neil Jones settings in the book or is this from Facebook? So far the 6 is great but I only have limited experience with it. It sure is tiny and slows me down but the benefits of it's use outweigh the speed on site.. laser beam it is that's for sure. Thank you for checking out the video and good luck on that baseball field.
Dallas is a great place with Fort Worth being in the top 2 places as to where my wife and I will reside someday. Greatly enjoy the area and have friends there. Going to Austin soon but it’s for an antique pick up run for my wife. Auction house down there I frequent, second trip this year. In and out type trip.
Question? How much does the Equinox weight compared to your MX Sport? Thinking of making the switch and upgrading. Thanks for the vids! Love to watch them.
David, I don't have an MX Sport but I do have the AT Pro and I can only detect for a couple of hours with the AT whereas I can detect all day with the NOX 800! So much lighter and comfortable!! Pull the trigger, you'll love it!!
The weight is negligible between the two with.. just a touch lighter on the equinox utilizing the stock shaft. I would say between the two that the Equinox is balanced forward and very comfortable... kinda just feels like a stick with no "body" or "housing" under your arm like the White's. I will be doing some comparisons between the machines at some point. I can only do small coils since I don't own the 10" DD for the Sport. Thanks for checking out the videos. If have more questions between the two or something you want me to compare when I get to the comparison between the two machines.. just say so and I will include or answer concerns.
Hello again! Great hunt and I’m getting the 6 in coil soon! That was hilarious on the keys 🤣 most I found was 8 lol and I’ll take your opinion on the coil let me know! 👍 great hunt!
Glad you like the video, I try my best with them as I learn something new about every video. I own a farm on the Grant and Pendleton county line and grew up in Grant county north of you 45 mins up 75. I lived there 35 of my 39 years. I worked off Clays Mill road land surveying for most of my career and been all over Lexington surveying. My wife and I still have a house down in KY but it’s up north just before you hit the cut in the hill going into Cincinnati.
Thank you. I gathered up supplies to make a bracket to weld up a flag staff that fits in my receiver and is interstate speed worthy but couldn't find the pole part. Following week a guy replaced a hydrolic piston for a backhoe and gave me the slightly bent piston shaft, which is not my flag pole staff. Nice and strong at 10K pound tensile strength.. LOL. The flag is for a lighthouse and rated at 120 mph winds.. it's heavy and takes some speed to fly full extension but won't get torn up. I am sad to say that I am not a veteran.. my mom was against it since she was a child of a WWII, Vietnam and Korean War veteran (my grandpa) and lived though many moves, countries and pleaded I didn't go. I don't feel I made a mistake but it does weigh on my mind often.
Good video as usual. Do you feel that detecting in all metal is an advantage? I noticed you switched between the 11" and 6" several times. What are your thoughts on the small coil?
Thank you. :) I do find hunting in all metal an advantage at times, it can help locate the dense matrix areas which means the most active part of the yard. When in farm fields it's a must while trying to locate the home site. I switch between coils a lot when I am hunting to cover more ground quickly.. when in the dense matrix the 6 and when not it's the 11. I always say this... the small coils are your cut in brush and the larger or stock sized coils are your roller.. .accurate for their application to cover more area effectively. So far the 6 has been great.. it truly is the laser beam as described by others.. depth good so far but I have limited time as to it's use.
I have been using the Andres pencils quite a bit as well as a toothpick. I wish I had more to say on the subject but I don’t. The video on cleaning crusty cooppers has a lot of good info in the comments section for cleaning coins. I also recommend checking out the playlists of Aquachigger and viewing his coin cleaning videos... there are some good ones.
Hello to you as well and thanks for checking out my channel. Thank you for subbing... 🙂 I just received the 6” coil and have limited time using it. So far it’s been great but i’ll need to use it more to form a better reasoned opinion about it. Gut feeling is that it’s going to be a great tool to utilize on the hunts.
Another enjoyable video from the soon to be “Square “Key” Squirrel! 😃
Thanks for posting!
Thank you ... haha.. yes with all the keys I may need to change my name for a bit. :)
Gee that must have been a janitors house with all those keys. You can probably open every door in the neighborhood. Another good video keep up the hard work!
Haha. I was thinking the same thing when I dug them. Kind of made the neighborhood a safer place by getting rid f them. Thank you for checking the video out.
I was in Mansfield Ohio visiting relatives around 15 years ago. I got permission and did an old house. I found IH’s and a barber dime. That’s when I had a whites XLT or DFX. The IH’s were scratchy sounding maybe because of the dirt. Thanks again for your videos. I learn a lot! Please post soon.
Wow, all those keys. Great long day of hunting.
Ha! Yes, tons of keys. I’m pretty set on keys for awhile. Definitely a long day of hunting... totally wore me out.
Greetings from Louisville......Ohio. Love hunting the old homes too, really enjoy the videos.
Glad you like the videos. The old home sites are my favorite with the ones that fell down in the 1800’s being my favorite. Standing homes are fun because you can feel the history a little better by seeing the home. Thanks for tuning in to check out the video.
Locksmith or not, I believe you have set the record! 😁 Great finds. Those belt buckles will be desirable to some collectors. Have a good week and stay hydrated.
haha... it's going to be hard to beat that's for sure. I like the belt buckles.. there is a guy I know that would really like them in which I have them boxed up and ready to take with me on my next trip back home. Thank you for checking out the video.
I am from Northwest Ohio, and always enjoy your videos. Very informational! As far as that big semi buckle goes. I was in high school in 1980 and remember very well people (like my uncle) wearing those big bulky buckles.
That’s cool you are from northwest Ohio... my wife and I go to Kelley’s Island a lot and I frequent Camp Perry in July.... nice historical area up there. I might just polish up that buckle and pass it off to someone.. it’s in pretty good shape. Thanks for checking the video out.
Awesome video!! I am glad you stopped the video after a full hot day. You need to look out for yourself as well. Beautiful music with the scenery. Way to go Squirrel!! Hello from Canada
Thank you.. did my best on this video. I noticed my personality and speech changing as the day went on while editing video. I could see in myself I was getting wore out... I’m about to turn 40 next year so I need to start paying attention to my body telling me to slow down a little. Thank you for the kind comments and for checking the video out.
You remind me of a really cool science teacher I had back in high school. Your enthusiasm is contagious and enlightening!Thank you for another great effort,hope there’s a lot more coming.Cheers!
Good to hear.. I don't teach science but I do teach part time at a local University dealing with land surveying. Very glad you enjoy what I'm doing on here and encourages me to push forward with making more videos. Your kind words are greatly appreciated.
Loved the video. So many keys and toy cars; to the point of crazy numbers 😂
I'm glad you were able to finally pull some coins out of the ground and then get that new permission 👍
Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes... after about the 4th matchbox car mixed with key finds I was getting a little worn out on finding them. Lol. Finally hit some older stuff later thankfully. Thanks for checking out the video.
Kenny thanks for going over the settings I learn something every time thank you
Your welcome and glad it's helping your understanding of the machine. Main thing is just have fun out digging with anything you can learn to better the hunt. Thanks for checking the video out.
SUPER video and finds . Seeing the nox800 doing so well is great!
Thank you. I really enjoy the performance of the 800.. .super glad I got it. Thanks for watching.
Nothing makes for a great hunt like a good key spill!
Haha.. this was my first and makes for a very different hunt. :) Thanks for checking the video out.
Good hunt ! And for sure, a lot of keys :D
Thank you. Finding the keys was fun but if the hold had 13 old coins in it!!!! Is that would have been awesome. Maybe someday. 🙂 thanks for watching.
Great camera work, great commentary, great finds, great locations , great tips ! What more can we ask for. Very well produced video 👍👍
Dang!! thank you. I try my best to just talk like you all are with me so you all can tell what I'm thinking even if it's a wrong ID on a target. LOL. The video aspect of the metal detecting hobby has been an enjoyable experience as well as the enjoyment of meeting such a great community of folks on here.. it's a pleasure to be able to be a part of all of this and thankful you and others are on here checking out what I'm doing.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Agree I find detecting hugely rewarding and very relaxing. but before I started on Utube it was a very lonely hobby. Now I feel there is a huge global community that is watching and interested in all the history and treasure we find. So enjoyable and a hobby that I will hopefully continue into retirement.
Yet another solid video. Props for sticking it out; those hot days sure take their toll.
Thank you.. I always try my best with the videos. Got really hot that day and I needed to take more breaks than I did.. hindsight is always 20/20. Thanks for checking out the video and good luck on any upcoming hunts.
Haha I know how you feel with those keys, I believe now I could open my own shop with what I have lol.
I have been rocking that 6 Inch coil lately and it is by far my favorite, especially with that weight difference.
Keep up the great work and that amazing editing you do.
Tennessee Adventures
Keys all over the place.. I guess we are making the world a safer place by disposing of lost keys.. never know what they could open security wise. I will have the 6" out more as times goes, I can already tell it's going to be a great tool. Thanks for watching.
Matchbox is a popular toy brand which was introduced by Lesney Products in 1953, and is now owned by Mattel, Inc. Fun Hunt!
Thank you for the info.. I learn something with every hunt. Thank you for checking the video out.
Wow cool finds with the equinox
Thank you.. I have a lot of fund with the equinox.. Very glad I finally got one. Thank you for checking out the video.
3:00 I remember as a child there was this old man that used to live a few houses away, he would sit in his front yard all day long, with a big box of keys and locks, just trying to match them up! I'm sure if I would go detect there, id find a lot of them too .
Hopefully he found a couple to match up... I guess that would be a good way to pass time. 🙂. I’m sure that spot would be a place to hunt if searching for keys. It would be awesome if they were skeleton keys he was testing and possibly losing.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 That was nearly 30 years ago and he was a retired an older gentleman Then lol I'm guessing there was a few of those too, sadly half of what used to be the driveway is now part of a paved road .
I like the small coil also... Awesome video.
It's a great tool to have out in the field. I have a couple sites I have been to many times that I need to get it out on to see what else can be pulled up. Thanks for checking out the video.. let me know when it's a good time to come up.
Great video as usual, unusual finds very interesting and enjoyable, keep them coming and thanks for sharing.
Thank you Henry. With these type of sites that have been lived in by many families over the years there is always a wide range of targets to find, it's nice for a change up. Thank out for checking out the video and good luck with any hunts you have coming up.
I have a theory about those keys. I noticed that none of them had teeth. Blank keys like those were stolen quite often from old Sears stores and from hardware stores. I bet a kid took them from a store and left them out there in the yard, not wanting to get into trouble. Made for a great spill find though. You found a hoard.
You may be spot on with your theory.. there were a lot of toys in that that yard very near the location I found the keys. Haha.. yes, it did make for a good spill find and sure surprised me when I found it. Thanks for checking out the video. :)
14 keys and uncut =) I'm a locksmith. The top nickel-plated key is for a Honda from the 70 (thru) 80s (hence that little bump at the end) and the key with the triangular shaped hole (for the ring) is an older early 60s Ford key H19. Most of the other keys are Russwin-Corwin keys. (designated by an RU on the key body) They died out in popularity in the early 70s. Couple GM keys in there as well (designated by a B##) So, Im wondering if at some point it wasn't actually used as a locksmith shop? I can see if they were cut and hence maybe dropped and they had them all bound together with a now dissolved string, but they're not cut... people just do not carry a dozen + keys around in their pocket for the sheer joy of it lolol
Thanks, Will
1 dislike from the guy who lost his keys in the yard and vicariously hates you lolololol
@@ftwopointeight Haha... I seem to always get 5 dislikes from the same folks but that's ok. Just wish they would speak up and say why they are so dissatisfied with the videos and why they keep watching each video. LOL.
Wow this is great info... if anyone ever does a book on metal detecting finds for the normal people I hope they consult you for info to tell the story about keys found. it's actually very helpful to identify activity periods for the site, etc. Thank you for taking the time to comment and add educational info.. greatly appreciated. Very true on carrying around that many blank keys with not real purpose... may have been dropped by a locksmith.. I was thinking on a snowy day and after the keys sank some though thaw and freeze they were hidden in the spring to see and pick up.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 I try to use every resource when dating a site, whether its dates on coins or when a particular found item can be identified =) I just happen to know keys lolol
Keep up the good work.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 how are you suppose to get better without any kind of backstory? These people.... [shakes head]
WoW, so many comments I want to leave. My digging partner, Dalton E, and I watched this video on our lunch break from digging today. (We're both Nox users)
Gotta say, that MACK truck belt buckle was INCREDIBLE! (I'd bet you'd get a few bucks for that on eBay!!!)
Okay, as I'm a little older than you, here's the skinny on the SHELL Aluminum tokens/coins you found: In the late 1960's, early 1970's when I was a little goober, SHELL Gas stations did a promo, and you got a state coin for every ten gallons of gas or whatever. They also gave out a thick paper USA map, about the size of a dinner placemat, and each state had 2 slits in it, so you could slide each state coin on top of it's actual location on the map! They are still collectible today! I recently found about a dozen coins in an old box from storage from my mother's estate, and they sold immediately on eBay!
Thanks for another wonderful video.

Diggin' Florida' w/ Rob!
Why would you sell tho?
The Mack Truck Belt Buckle?
Well, I would first take it to my local Metal Detecting club meeting and put it out on the display table for that month's finds, and I might hang on to it for a little while to display, but if it was a piece that didn't have sentimental value to me, or if it sat in a box of stuff you find, why not let someone who appreciates it and would wear it regularly enjoy it?
I found the belt buckle to be a great find as well especially since it's still very usable. I actually have a friend back home that I am going to take it to since it's vintage and holds a story behind sitting in the ground for years to be found metal detecting.. I will give it to him so he can enjoy it. I see you had spoke about selling, was questioned and then replied with a great reply of others being able to enjoy the finds. Makes total sense... I typically just give away my finds but selling some would help out with all the costs of doing these videos, seems with every move I make to upgrade things all of this gets more expensive. I have never sold anything besides a smashed up solid gold pocket watch I found which I turned around the profit to buy my first White's V3i... I like it when a hobby supports itself financially. Thanks for commenting with the great info on the tokens and for checking out the video.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 Thanks for replying. Yes, now that I've sunk the money into the Nox 800 (right after I bought the big 15" NEL coil for my 705-because a Nox wasn't going to be available for 6 months) the g/f said she would greatly appreciate if this is where my MD equipment stayed put for a while, so I too have decided to have the hobby pay for itself. I want to venture into water hunting, so my next big purchase is one of those big water scoops you see everyone on YT using. Not cheap.
But, luckily I have a g/f whose not into jewelry too much, and I found a pair of Michael KORRS designer earrings that don't interest her, and what am I going to do with them beside stare at them in my jewelry finds case, so they are going to an eBay auction, as is a Boy Scout gold plated charm I found on a tot lot. Let some parent get it for their Boy Scout son and put it back to good use instead of me just showing it off. I've never sold any of my ring finds or relics, but I'm going to try these two items!

Great great hunt
Thank you Charles.. glad to post the video to take folks along with me.
Cool finds 🐿️! 😀👍
Thank you DG27 :) I saved the matchbox cars and wanted to send them to you but they aren't in good enough shape to roll.. wheels are falling off. LOL. I'm hoping the luck the Hello Kitty ring brought amps back up again so I can score another ring. The silver one I found a couple videos back turned up too brittle to fix and is still flat so finding another ring in a little better shape would be a fun find. The same guy did the trime necklace I posted on Instagram. Thank you for tuning in to check out the video. Hope all is well. :)
Love your videos mate. Cheers from Brisbane Australia
Glad you like the videos. :) and thank your for tuning in to check it out. Just a note.. my sister lives in Victoria just east of Melbourne.
Wow lots of keys. Lol 😁 really enjoy your vids and good luck hunting.
Haha... yes. a ton of keys. Glad you enjoy the videos and thank you for the good luck wishes. I hope to be back out soon to hunt Shaums again.. I'm a little behind on comment replies since I traveled the past few days. Thanks for checking out the video.
Great dig. I like how you explain your settinga and why you use them !!! Did my little eye spy a Digging Canuck sticker on your arm rest 😀😀😀😀😀
Thank you. :) Yes... I reused by factory arm cuff on the Anderson shaft to keep what decals I had. Turns out your decal showed up nicely in that shot :) Thanks for contributing to the hobby in what you provide here on youtube as well as other social media platforms. :)
A lot of keys my friend wow and some cool finds and a great video HH
I was expecting maybe 3 or 4 out of that hole as a lot of keys in one plug.. LOL.. ended up with many more. LOL.. I need to hit a coin spill like that. Thanks for checking out the video.
thanks for taking me along love finding kids toys and keys more fun than clad to me really enjoy your videos pretty cool that people come to you and ask if you want to hunt lol
I know they respect you and trust that you won't trash their property if they ask you that's something else.
Your welcome and glad you joined in on the hunt. I like to find about anything when detecting but my heart is in the old stuff. The city lot detecting this summer is good for a change. Thank you for watching. :) take care.
You have the keys to making great videos lol . That was crazy how many keys you found. Look forward to your next video
haha... I have enough to go around that's for sure. I'm behind on replies due to traveling but I should be out to make another video this week hopefully, it actually rained through the night last night so the soil should be good to go for detecting. Thanks for checking out the video.
great video again.... been super hot but managed to hunt the holiday as well.
Thanks Louis. My wife was back home in Kentucky and I had to work Friday which made for a wide open day for hunting. Better out detecting than not doing much at the house here in Ohio.
What a great assortment of finds think the token was my personal favorite. You really rock out the best in your video intros and all your hunts
All kinds of stuff turns up in yards like this and makes for an interesting day. 🙂 thanks for your kind words about the video and for tuning in. Makes all this video creating totally worth it with folks enjoying what I’m doing.
Another excellent video !
My dad used to let us kids play with the old keys . Maybe that’s what happened on your key spill .
Love finding old cars also, I give them to my grandson .
Thank you, I’m glad that you enjoyed the video. That’s a good note to make because when I was a child I also had keys I played with... I’m sure they are out front of childhood home buried deep. Might just have been the same case for me to find these keys. The matchbox cars and toys a cool to find and I too try to salvage some of them and get them to people I know with children that would play with them. Thanks for checking out the video. 🙂
Another great video! You are making the rest of us look bad with your production level! Lol. Nice finds too! HH & GL!
Thank you.. I try my best to capture the hunt. I have had some training doing videos for land surveying on Instagram for a couple years before I took a dive into making metal detecting videos. Took a long time to find my cadence but finally did... all in due time I guess. Thanks for you kind words and for checking out the videos. Good luck and happy hunting.
I can say you had a great hunt buddy. Your finds were great and it was very informative. Im really enjoying your channel.
Thank.. had a good time out there. You never know what's going to show up hunting in yards like these.. makes it fun discovering. Glad you are enjoying the videos and thankful you tune in to check them out.
Square Nail Squirrel no problem. Your channel is what metal detecting is all about. I love to see what’s next. I just wish you used a AT MAX so I could see how you set it up.
Interesting finds. I am interested in seeing how the six inch coil does. I haven't seen any videos with that coil. I look forward to more videos with it. Keep swinging.
Thanks.. all kinds of stuff comes out of the ground on sites like these and makes for a fun hunt. I will make more videos using the 6 inch coil and as I form a better opinion on it I will voice it. So far it has lived up to the laser beam description others have described it as and I'm looking forward to more used with it. Thanks for checking out the video.
Great video. Really enjoyed watching. ATB Greg
Thank you. 🙂 makes all the effort making these videos very well worth it having you and other folks enjoying what I’m doing. Good luck out hunting.
Man, you were really killing the keys and cars ... and belt buckles. 😎 Another fun video. 👍🏻
Lots and lots of keys and cars that’s for sure. Lol just wish one of the belt buckles was one of grandpas discarded civil war buckles. 🙂. Had a good time though but got wore out. Thanks for checking the video out.
Looks like you had a good say. Good video as always.
Thanks Dennis. It was a long day but a good one. Thanks for checking out the video.
Like the belt buckles. Fun finds Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video. Watching your videos inspired me to do my channel. Thanks man and keep the finds a coming. Happy Hunting
Thank you and that's awesome you started up a channel doing videos. I just subbed ya :) Thanks for checking out the video.
Cool man thanks! Maybe see ya out there somewhere 😂
Great video young man I'm never disappointed take care out there atb Russ.
Thank you Russ and glad that you enjoy what I'm doing on here. I'm about to turn 40 next year. :) and the reason when in videos I only call 1979 and older coins "older".. :) LOL Thanks for checking out the videos and good luck with any hunts you have coming up.
Thanks Kenny you sure put out a great video so enjoyed
Your welcome Steven.. just glad you and other folks are on here checking out what I'm doing. :)
Thanx for another quality Vid Square Nail. And thanx for the settings & TID's too. The game that you mentioned at end reminds me of Geo Caching that I did several years ago. Basically, someone left instructions on a geocache website and you looked for a container stuffed with goodies and left something for the next finder. This could be catchy thing. I look forward to the next Vid.
Your welcome and glad you enjoyed the video. I’ve never done the geo cache hunts but I have found them while out land surveying... I’ve read the notes inside as well as where people sign off that they found the cache. Looks like an adventure to try out sometime but with what I do for a living I search and find monuments all day for boundary’s which is very similar is the adventure. Thanks for checking the video out a good luck with any hunts coming up.
Enjoyable video, thanks. 🙂👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for tuning in to check it out. :)
What a marathon squirrel!
Nice Indian & wheats, luv the cars and tokens. The bourbon token probably had a cord thru it and was tied to the bottle - that's why a repro of award.
A nest of keys aka "a ring" 😂
When you said that bldg is a shop, I thought for what kind of work, then hoping not a locksmith. Keys & big buckles are a sign area has not been detected before. Could be more...
Good to see you bust out the 6" coil...how did you like it?
Haha... yes a marathon is a good description for it. I have looked into the bourbon token more and found that they are actually classified in a token book for values. They date back fairly far to about 1900 so being that is was my first one of the kind... I'm very happy with it. haha on "a ring"... the nest is wording from my surveying life... I find a nest of bricks to locate old stones.. carried though I guess. So far the 6" is great but it will take some getting used to.. it truly is a laser beam. So super small with it's signal to the ground.. liking that a lot. Thank you for checking out the video and talk soon. :)
around 13:50 i believe seconds what's left of a bicycle chain link. I thought when I moved up to the 800 I'd be a better digger but still can't tell what's down there till i dig it. Need to invent one that takes picture of what's down there, but I guess that'd take all the fun out of it.
Could that be the elusive 1877 IHP?!? Nice digs as always.👍🏻
I kept trying to see the third number but could never make it out... we will never know if it's a 77 or not. :) Thanks for tuning in to check out the video.
Nice hunt. It is hard to last in that heat now . I will need that small coil eventually for couple spots with small saplings all over the ground. Otherwise probably there is little need for smaller coil on Equinox. Enjoyed the video, ATB, Sebastian.
Thank you. All kinds of different targets on sites like this and good for a change up. Very lucky to be scoring all these permissions. The 6” seems to be very powerful and really holds true to the laser beam description folks have described it as. Makes a great tool to have in the kit. Thanks for checking out the video. 🙂
Key spill lol, that is awesome. New subscriber here. Great hunt.
Haha!! Yes, sure was a lot of keys in one plug. Thanks for tuning into my channel and subscribing... means a lot to have folks on here checking out what I’m doing. Good luck with any hunts you have coming up.
Lots of cool finds thanks for sharing ! I like the little 6” coil also have the 15 “ but only had it on for 15 mins or so .
Your welcome.. it's a pleasure to share these hunts. I would like to get the 15 eventually.. I think it would help out on my field hunts. Once you get some more time out using it would you comment on it at some point as to how you feel about it?
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 absolutely
One of the best videos ever. I love that you spent the time to let everyone know that research is imperative! I'll get you a good address for that Union token as soon as the Capt and his family move out. Fantastic information!
Great hunt really cool finds! take care and happy hunting!
Thanks... all kinds of cool stuff comes up out of yards like this. Thanks for checking the video out and good luck on any hunts you have coming up.
Nice hunt.
Thank you... had a pretty good time out detecting but got pretty wore out as well. :) Thank you for checking the video out.
Really nice finds. Thanks for sharing.
Another good video. You do a great job on this cool hobby.
Thank you Ted... I try my best with these. I run into all kinds of complications out filming and detecting but I always try to make the best of it. Thank you for your kind comments. 🙂 take care.

Thanks John... it was a long day but turned out pretty good. Thanks for tuning in to check out the hunt.
LOL a Key spill, never seen that one.

Will do.. always a pleasure making these videos. Thanks for tuning in to check it out.
Great video
Thanks Shaggy. 🙂 doing my best with these as I find my cadence with them.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 im waiting for summer to be done before i go back out to hot
Awesome hunt, always great content!!! Recheck that Indian head, as 1877 is a key date, and valuable. Not that I would ever sell any of my finds ;)
Thanks you and I’m glad the context I’m covering of on makes for good video. I’ll look at the I down again but that one digit I just can’t make out... sure would be nice if it was a 77 though. Thank you for checking out the video.
You really do the best job on all aspects of your hunt particularly the videos. Well done sir.
That is hilarious... all those keys!!!!
Haha!! Yes... tons of coins in the same plug. I was thinking maybe by the third or fourth that was all but each time the pinpointer went down another key showed up. 🙂. Made for an interesting day. Thanks for tuning in to check out the video.
In “American Grafitti” Charles Martin Smith as “Terry Fields” tries to buy some Old Harper Whiskey saying he’d lost his I.D. in a “flood””
Nice.. I wasn't aware of that and I'll check YT to see if I can find that verse. Thanks for commenting and for checking the video out..
You should try switching coils on the same target. Pick like 4 signals of varying depths , then go from the 11 to the 6 without digging. See if the 6" gets it. Listen to the difference in the tone if any . Check depth, then dig them to see what they were.
Thank you for the suggestion and I just made note of it in my phone list of ideas for videos. Once I get some more time with the 6" coil so my understanding of it's capabilities is better.. I will make a video which includes you idea. I think it would be fund and help folks understand if the coil is a good choice for them.. anything to better the hunt for all. Thank you for commenting and for checking out the video.
Square Nail Squirrel no problem, I have done this with my Eagle 2 & V3i , I will swap on the V3i from a 6" elipt 10 D ,13 Detech round, 12x15 SEF coil. Especially in this old fairgrounds that went from 1840's-1920's only thing you find are old square nails , shotgun shells and old coins.
A key spill! That's a first for me.
Haha... yes, a first for sure. Now that I have a large key spill I need to find a large coin spill with that many coins.. :) Thanks for checking out the video.
Educational, inspiring and entertaining as always
Well done
Good video buddy, thank you
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully i’ll be back out on another hunt soon... thank you for checking out my videos.
Nice finds! You really put in a lot of extra effort setting up establishing shots and varying your perspective and it results in a much higher quality video. Good work! I have a lot to learn. :-)
You might be able to toothpick that IHP once it dries. Very often there is a beautiful green patina under the crud.
Thanks! Lots of keys and cars it still and interesting day out digging. I try my best to keep things changing in view and what I’m showing while detecting. I have made two brackets that really help out in the field making video. Just hope if one breaks I can reproduce them. Lol. I’ll give that Indian another look and see if I can clean it up better... would be nice if shows another 7 under the crusty film. Thanks for checking the video out.
Do you like finding a mix of relics ? Or would you just like sticking to the coins and such ? I like a display of a large mix of relics. Of course the coins and old old relics are the greatest. Love you channel and appreciate the tutorial son setting up the detectors. Best on TH-cam.
I like finding anything that comes out of the ground that's interesting. I'm into finding old stuff mainly with coins and such included in the mix. To tell you the truth I like the coins because of the dates associated with them.. tells the story of the activity that was present on the site by year... I am actually not an avid coin collector although through metal detecting I have an extensive coin collection. For me the hobby is discovering, exploring and the adventure that comes from the buried history.. doesn't have to be an ancient gold coin to be precious and interesting.. just a simple flat button or a harmonica reed is just as exciting. I tend to think of the families and people that lost the items I find especially when I find silver or a gold ring.. I feel sympathy at times because of the loss of something so valuable to them. Thank you for checking out my videos and for commenting with such kind words.. hopefully my reply is accurate enough to make sense.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 yeah, I understand. I love the history. Like you said a nice old button Community tells as much of a story as a coin. It's just with the coins you get do get a date somewhat. I've always loved history my dad might step dad started me out bottle digging when I was like 9 years old. Got the bug and never lost it. Please keep doing what you're doing. I enjoy it a lot. Hope you're having a great week. See you on the tube.
Great video!. You need a detect Ed shaft
Thank you and glad you liked the video. I'm running an Anderson currently.. by gift. So far.. it's improved the hunt three fold. I saw in the equinox book I'm letting folks borrow there is a company that has one with a knuckle in the middle where the machine just folds instead of telescoping... it looks ultra interesting.
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 my 800 is making a squeezing noise while swinging it.. it's in the crimp nuts... Looking for a new shaft with less connection points.... too bad after spending nearly $760 on it, I have to buy a new shaft... Lol
@@leskobrandon538 If you listen closely to the videos I have made since I incorporated the Anderson shaft.. it squeaks as well. I would try using graphite powder in the joints to quieten down things... I am going to try it. Just don't use any oils since they break down plastics and collect dirt.
Nice video. Thanks.
Love the flag.
Do you have an old video where you describe your finds bag?
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video. I don't have a video about the bag.. once it's able to be released I will. I currently need a little over $900 to for the federal patent and trademark office which is my next stumbling block. Once you see the Kydex digging knife holder on my side pouch things are getting closer to being finalized. Thanks for checking the video out.
Thanks for the information.
I enjoy your channel.
That's a lot of keys in one hole. And they all look uncut which is strange to find, but you had a bunch of strange finds in that yard lol. Nice IHP. So did you notice a ton of different with the "6 coil or did it just force you to slow down so you heard the targets better? I started a new location today and tried cleaning off some of the top clad. Came home with about $7 in clad, 2 wheat cents and a icecream bucket of trash. Going back to hit it tomorrow. Going to really slow down and concentrate on the deeper targets. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Sure is a lot of keys in one plug... first for me. Sure would have been nice if it were old coins in that count in one hole. Lol. I like the 6” so far by limited time in use. I switch coils a lot depending on site conditions. I’ll comment on it more as I get more use of it. Good luck with that site... getting that top layer off really helps out a lot. Takes a lot of work on some sites but the reward sometimes is totally worth it. have fun out there and thanks for checking out the video.
I hope that’s an 1877 IHP!!
Great video
Haha! me too.. that would be an incredible find for sure. Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching. Good luck out hunting.
that was a good hunt looks like you had a lot of fun and you're pretty knowledgeable on what you find take care see you at the next hunt
Where is the book at now. Great video.
Appreciate your patriotism
I always make a point to raise the flag, show thanks and honor our country. Thanks for checking out the video.
I just found one of those shell coins in my yard this weekend.
Another great video. Thanks for sharing.
Did you get a new camera setup, or are you using different settings? Seems like you're frame rate is higher than before. Also, I would love to know more about your MD pouch. Maybe a separate video if you made it yourself?
Thanks again
Thank you and glad you liked it. The camera is a new iphone XR, my old iphone 7 was broke at work. From what I can tell the new XR camera is way better. I will make a video on the pouch once it's available. I hit a trademark block of over 900.00 this past weekend that I need to save up for before I can move forward with the whole deal.. becoming part of the design patent. Sorry for the delay and thanks for checking the video out.
you doing great . if when you coming to Austin ?? I live about 50 miles from there and work in that area , and lets meet maybe hunt some , you can show me how to get permission
Alan... I'd like to meet up but it's a fly in, get a rental, pick up the antique my wife bought in an auction and make it back to OH for work on Monday type trip. I do this quite often.. kinda like a mission and it's fun. :) Maybe on a trip down to visit we can catch up. Fort Worth is the most popular place for us to go while down.. not to far away.
I knew it!!!! You're from Wooster. I live in killbuck. Ive metal detected for over 17 years.
I've been trying to figure out where you were from. Lol . I worked on a ton of oil rigs up that way.
Bob Fry I lived in Columbus until I had to leave the state
Two great statements: “Its fourth of July” and “Were gonna metal detect all day long!”
A lot of great stuff man, great day of hunting..all those keys 😂! That’s awesome you bagged another permission. You outta try out those Neil Jones settings, I think you will like it a lot, especially with that 6” coil. How are you like that 6” by the way?
Thank you.. long but great day of hunting. Yes.. I may have hit a record for the number of keys found in a single hole. LOL Is the Neil Jones settings in the book or is this from Facebook? So far the 6 is great but I only have limited experience with it. It sure is tiny and slows me down but the benefits of it's use outweigh the speed on site.. laser beam it is that's for sure. Thank you for checking out the video and good luck on that baseball field.
Lol ever see the movie matrix i think you found the key makers keys nice video h.h
Haha.. yes.. I have seen that movie. :) pile of keys that's for sure. LOL.. Thanks for checking out the video.
I live in the Dallas area when are you going to the nut villa of Texas I mean Austin 😎
Dallas is a great place with Fort Worth being in the top 2 places as to where my wife and I will reside someday. Greatly enjoy the area and have friends there. Going to Austin soon but it’s for an antique pick up run for my wife. Auction house down there I frequent, second trip this year. In and out type trip.
Square Nail Squirrel right on like I say just watch out for the crazies their on every corner down there in Austin. 😜
Question? How much does the Equinox weight compared to your MX Sport? Thinking of making the switch and upgrading. Thanks for the vids! Love to watch them.
David, I don't have an MX Sport but I do have the AT Pro and I can only detect for a couple of hours with the AT whereas I can detect all day with the NOX 800! So much lighter and comfortable!! Pull the trigger, you'll love it!!
The weight is negligible between the two with.. just a touch lighter on the equinox utilizing the stock shaft. I would say between the two that the Equinox is balanced forward and very comfortable... kinda just feels like a stick with no "body" or "housing" under your arm like the White's. I will be doing some comparisons between the machines at some point. I can only do small coils since I don't own the 10" DD for the Sport. Thanks for checking out the videos. If have more questions between the two or something you want me to compare when I get to the comparison between the two machines.. just say so and I will include or answer concerns.
extra note: Comparing the V3i to the Equinox weight wise... it's night and day difference.
Hello again! Great hunt and I’m getting the 6 in coil soon! That was hilarious on the keys 🤣 most I found was 8 lol and I’ll take your opinion on the coil let me know! 👍 great hunt!
I really enjoy your videos very well made. I live in Lexington KY all my life where did you live?
Glad you like the video, I try my best with them as I learn something new about every video. I own a farm on the Grant and Pendleton county line and grew up in Grant county north of you 45 mins up 75. I lived there 35 of my 39 years. I worked off Clays Mill road land surveying for most of my career and been all over Lexington surveying. My wife and I still have a house down in KY but it’s up north just before you hit the cut in the hill going into Cincinnati.
Great video. I like the American flag on the back of your truck. Are you a veteran?
Thank you. I gathered up supplies to make a bracket to weld up a flag staff that fits in my receiver and is interstate speed worthy but couldn't find the pole part. Following week a guy replaced a hydrolic piston for a backhoe and gave me the slightly bent piston shaft, which is not my flag pole staff. Nice and strong at 10K pound tensile strength.. LOL. The flag is for a lighthouse and rated at 120 mph winds.. it's heavy and takes some speed to fly full extension but won't get torn up. I am sad to say that I am not a veteran.. my mom was against it since she was a child of a WWII, Vietnam and Korean War veteran (my grandpa) and lived though many moves, countries and pleaded I didn't go. I don't feel I made a mistake but it does weigh on my mind often.
Rough day. Better than going to work though
Good video as usual. Do you feel that detecting in all metal is an advantage? I noticed you switched between the 11" and 6" several times. What are your thoughts on the small coil?
Thank you. :) I do find hunting in all metal an advantage at times, it can help locate the dense matrix areas which means the most active part of the yard. When in farm fields it's a must while trying to locate the home site. I switch between coils a lot when I am hunting to cover more ground quickly.. when in the dense matrix the 6 and when not it's the 11. I always say this... the small coils are your cut in brush and the larger or stock sized coils are your roller.. .accurate for their application to cover more area effectively. So far the 6 has been great.. it truly is the laser beam as described by others.. depth good so far but I have limited time as to it's use.
Looks like a great day, how’d you like that 6” coil?
Was a long day. :) and a good hunt. The 6" coil has been great so far and a great tool to add to the hunt. Thanks for watching.
I'm really curious what camera you use, care to share? It's clear and crisp, focuses quickly. If you Don't mind please let me know!
The camera was an iphone7 and now it's an iphoneXR... use the app called Filmic Pro
@@squarenailsquirrel9638 modern phones are pretty amazing. Thank you! Have a great day.
Still loving your videos. Hope you had a great 4 th. Did you ever find a good cleaner for coins?
Phillis Klatt good question! I was wanting to ask for the same information.
Ty
I have been using the Andres pencils quite a bit as well as a toothpick. I wish I had more to say on the subject but I don’t. The video on cleaning crusty cooppers has a lot of good info in the comments section for cleaning coins. I also recommend checking out the playlists of Aquachigger and viewing his coin cleaning videos... there are some good ones.
Hello from the U.K. I’m thinking about getting the 6 inch coil ,is it any good cheers ,just subbed
Hello to you as well and thanks for checking out my channel. Thank you for subbing... 🙂 I just received the 6” coil and have limited time using it. So far it’s been great but i’ll need to use it more to form a better reasoned opinion about it. Gut feeling is that it’s going to be a great tool to utilize on the hunts.
Great video!
