That's a once in a lifetime kind of spot. Great saves!
Thanks for watching Taylor!
not once in lifetime. plenty places like that still exist
Really appreciate everyone who watched and enjoyed the video! We will have more detecting videos in the future and of course many more bottle digging videos as well. Please do consider subscribing if you haven't already and help us reach 1k subscribers!! Thank you all
Wow. I am a bit envious of your silver mine. Nice finds!
great vid with history n finds very interesting, really njoyed thanx 4 sharing God Bless
Thanks Donny! Really appreciate that
Awesome finds!
Thanks!
Wow neat finds!
Thanks for watching!
This is awesome!
Thanks Tony! Glad you enjoyed
Can't understand why you don't get excited over the seated coins. I almost have a heart attack when I find something in the 1800's lol
(Shayne here) I think Ryan has just found so many great coins that he has a calmer reaction than most. He's still excited 😝
Nice finds guys did you do a story on this in Treasure magazine?
Thanks Mark! No we didn't
Lots of jealous people in the comments I see lol. Great finds, guys!
Haha thanks man!
Yes all experts. But never dug places or coins like this.
JUST found u guys the other day on tiktok. Love your vids. I'm trying to grow my treasure hunting channel too.
Thanks a bunch!!
Just a little correction - at 24:00 when I mention all of the silver from that area being seated (from the site of the actual fairground), the quarters and newer silver was found in the field adjacent to the Deposit fairground, where the GW button was found.
Nice shovels, not big enough. Try a backhoe next time?
We considered it
Do you think you could find a bigger shovel might as well be using a backhoe kinda hard to get permission tearing up lawns like that aint it?
We could probably bring a bigger one, but it would get tiring 🤣 This spot is complete swamp land. Land owner doesn't care one bit and probably wouldn't have even minded if we DID bring a backhoe. These targets are deep and in tough terrain. Usually have to dig 2 separate plugs for each hole. Good luck trying to dig a spot like this with a tiny shovel
That little round with the heart went on the center of the breast collar on the horse. Great find!!
Thanks Matthew! Yep, you're absolutely right. They are referred to as horse bridle rosettes
I'm going to go looking for my first metal detector today, any suggestions for a decent one anybody
Simplex plus
I live in the U.K. and been detecting since 1979. I recommend a Minelab detector.i am still using my Minelab Sovereign from 2002 and just upgraded to an Equinox. Remarkable results, gold rings and hammered coins.
Anything made after 2018 is an ABSOLUTE must 👌
I would not allow you to hunt my yard using those big shovels.
Bummer. Was really looking forward to coming by
Why didn't you guys rent a backhoe?
We would like to. But kind of expensive. Thanks for the comment!
Get a better pinpointer!
The whites trx is one of
If not the best pinpointers you can buy.
The historical information on the fairgrounds and racing track was very interesting. Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks Hal! Glad you enjoyed
The 1832 cap bust looks great!!! Was the last site Walton, NY?
Thanks! No it wasn't
This is three months ago? May I make a suggestion? Go back again with a Deus II and you will find a lot more old coins. That's what I am doing, going back to places I've hunted before and finding A LOT of old coins. I sold my ATMax a long time ago and sold my NOX 800 three months after I got my Deus II. I'm on the west coast, where most of the older places have been torn down and new buildings and concrete now exist. I envy you guys on the east side of America. OK, after watching to the end, I apologize, this is the biggest collection of old coins I have ever seen, you guys rock. Thanks for sharing. I will subscribe and never say another negative comment again, promise. I do have to say, my Deus II is finding a lot of silver and copper coins that my other detectors missed.
This location I researched about three years ago. It's about a three hour drive from where I live and can only be hunted in the spring due to the grass and brush growth. The coins at this location are extremely deep. The soil is harsh and very wet in a lot of areas. I upgraded my at pro to a larger coil specifically for this location. Over the years my dad and I combined have dug 500+ coins here from the 1800s useing the atpro and gold. This video is me now going back and showing what I found with my other machine. The mine lab e trac. Which definitely made a difference and pulled out coins the at pros missed. We will be going back again this spring with various machines to see what else is left. But I have heard good things about the deus and I imagine it would do great at this location. Thanks for the comment and donation. If you ever do plan a trip to our area hit us up and we can go out digging. Even to this location If you wanted, would just have to be during spring.
They should clean the coins with distilled water, not rub them until they can read them just in case the coins still have numismatic value.
Wow what a find. Just to think loosing 50 cents back then could ruin your day.
Pretty crazy to think about!
I like that heart shaped bridle rosette. Those fatty Indians looked nice, they generally don't hold up as well as the 65-09 because of their composition. Then you blew me away with seated x5 and a capped bust...Then you TOTALLY BLEW ME AWAY WITH THE BONUS MATERIAL 🍻🏹🏴☠️🇺🇸👍🏼🍀🤯 HOLY SHIT DUDE THATS HOT DIRT FISHING RIGHT THERE!
Thanks a bunch Wheeler!! Glad you enjoyed it man. Ryan and his dad get on some killer sites. Unfortunately he didn't film much of it, but will on future permissions
Happy to be your 1000th subscriber, congrats on getting to 1000👍
Thanks so much!
Wow! What a great place to swing the machine. Liked the old photos of the fair grounds too. Sweet finds...congrats!
Thanks Gary! Glad you liked the vid
Thanks for sharing. Cool experience. I'd like to try detecting some day.
Sorry about all the awful comments from miserable little armchair experts in here lol.
So many people just get on the internet to complain.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching. Get out there and do it, it's a ton of fun! Do some research and try to find some older sites. The more people that would have gathered there back in the day, the better. Good luck!
That is an awesome place. Congrats on great video and finds!
Thanks!!
Look at all those coins! Guys, leave something for me!
😎
Awesome spot, that's an incredible haul. I haven't found a seated quarter yet, looks like you guys are popping them out left and right. Maybe people were just poor here. : P There is an old fairground about 20 miles from my house from around the same timeframe. I haven't been able to find it. My dad hunted it some when he was younger and found some good stuff there. He is 70 now and his grandfather talked about going there as a kid, on the train because I guess there was no actual road to it. We walked for hours one day trying to come up with the spot, but there are very few records of it even existing. There has been some mining activity in that area and it may be gone, the rail bed is still pretty visible though. We'll have to take another stab at finding it someday.
Keep looking!! Good luck man and thanks for watching!
If it had a race track. Try looking at historic aerials to see if you can find the old oval race track. Also old maps may have it listed.
How much is a George Washington inaugural button worth?
$30,000 to $40,000
The button, in Fine condition, carries an estimate of $30,000 to $40,000. The Pater Patriae design type, DeWitt GW-1789-41 as attributed in Century of Campaign Buttons 1789-1889 by J.Jun 12, 2018
What a killer site, id be there every week
Just found your channel! Enjoyed this one a lot! You guys were on the goods, that research always pays off! Happy huntin & good luck out there 🤙🏻
Thanks a bunch! Welcome to the channel and glad you enjoyed
Thanks for sharing video
Thanks for watching Jerry!
Nice video and some good finds. You guys are digging some pretty ugly plugs with those big shovels.
Thanks for watching Rod! A lot of the stuff at the fairgrounds was pretty deep and the bigger shovel just made things easier
Unreal hunt guys! Can't believe this video hasn't blown up.. so much silver! Great hunt!
Thanks man! I think our time will come 😎
It's like detective work. Do the work and dig the history..
Absolutely! It really is
One of those 1877 seated quarters needed to be a 1877 Indian head penny. That would have been a nice find. Key date.
For sure! One of the few times you'd rather have a penny than a silver quarter lol 🤣
Awesome finds
great batch of silvers. best wishes from England.
Thank you!! 🙏
What wonders a toothbrush and a little water would have done for the camera on your finds. Two kinds of coin rarity. Condition rarity and date (mintage) rarity. Doubt if any coins found are rare due to condition but some could be date/mintage rare in which case the coin could be valuable in lieu of it's condition. Nice finds.
please invest in some smaller digging utensils
We have them. Weren't necessary this trip
I agree, digging up someone's yard with a full sized shovel....just saying. Cool finds for sure
@@berntout3697 Appreciate it! the land owner wasn't concerned one bit and all of the plugs were filled nicely
Awesome! 👍
well done on the finds enjoyed the video
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed
Wow can’t believe all the salty comments, congrats on the coins!!
Haters gon' hate 🤣😎 Thanks Jacob!!
Hola amigo buenas tardes buen trabajo buenas monedas felicidades por los hallazgos gracias por compartir un abrazo 👏👏👌😊☘️👍
Great hunt, subscribed
Really appreciate it!
Just found your channel and subscribed. Great finds guys!! We're dig all over New York and up and down the east coast. Maybe we will run into you guys some day,
Appreciate it man! Absolutely
Wow boys! Monster spot!! Great coins , congrats
I really enjoyed your video. Showing the history of the area made it especially enjoyable. 25:13
Thanks so much Gary!
y'all having ALL the fun! good to see folks laughing and having fun (legally) ;) great finds! WOW! :)
So many awesome finds!
This site was great! Ryan and his dad found some great stuff. The only trip I went along with was the latest video where I dug the SLQ. Was happy they invited me out and was stoked to find it! Not only my first silver but my first COIN 🤣 I was and still am pretty new to detecting despite having dug and collected antique bottles for years
I haven’t been detecting long either and the only coins I have found so far are wheat cents! 😂
i wish i new what something was before i got it out of the ground.your good.
Depth of the coin and the area I was digging you could usually tell if it was going to be a seated. The one shocker for sure was the capped bust dime. That came from an area that was almost only barber coins.
I'm green with envy for you. Years ago , I got permission to hunt an old Quaker school in NJ and found around $70 worth of silver coins. Dates ranged between 1774 to 1964. Great video.
That's awesome! Thanks Mike
Hello, $70.00 worth of silver coins could be only three coins? Three silver dollars. $70.00 worth is not a good description of your finds, IMO. Heck I've found over 16 hundred silver coins in ten years, and only one was rare, an 1897s half dollar that was in VF30 condition worth over $300.00. Do you mean face value of $70.00? I'm just curious.
Nice site! Good job on your research and finds!!
This ai amazing. What a time yall had.
Fantastic N/S 💙🏖🇬🇷👍
New subscriber from SE MN here. I love seeing what other detectorists from around the country find. Nice video! Looking forward to following more of your adventures. Jim Parry, Backroads Metal Detecting
Really appreciate that Jim! Most of our videos are bottle digging, but we will have more detecting videos in the future as well as "picking" videos too. Thanks for watching and subbing!
@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers Stocking up on channels to watch over the winter. Jim
I like the videos bro..I see y’all work hard..💪🏾
Thanks a bunch man! Some of the privies we dig are over 10 ft and 6x8 ft wide lol 😆 All by hand and all in the same day usually
Nice job, thanks ! Keep up the good work.
Thanks Jason!
Made me cringe watching horrible digging, I can't imagine how many coins get gouged
The way we are digging is fine and no coins were damaged. Thanks for the comment though.
No coins were harmed in the making of this video. IF anything got gouged, maybe an earthworm or two LOL
What were your settings on the AT Max?
We use AT pro, but should be the same. Pro zero discrimination to 35 or 40
Great coins, you probably have only scratched the surface of that place for finds.
Pretty sure Ryan and his dad have hammered the place pretty hard
Wonderful job. Thanks
Thanks Bruce!
You just popped up in my feed! By your thumbnail, I can’t wait to watch all of your good fines! New subscriber by the way!
Thanks!! Hope you enjoy. We have a newer video from this same site as well
YOu guys should just use a backhoe when you are digging in someone's yard for a coin..
Next time 😎 Great idea
@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers I mean..geesh. If I viewed that video as a home owner.there's no way in hell I'd let someone metal detect my yard. You really need to think about that
@@briansefring4981 Homeowner was more than pleased. Happy to have us finding and saving history. Welcome back any time. The plugs were all put back fine
@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers This homeowner.....but what about others? One should always follow the code.
wow that bullet coin was awesome!! loved all the pics and the history too
Thanks Kari! I thought the bullet struck coin was awesome too
Just amazing, you will be back i`m sure. I`m from southern Alberta Canada and never find Canadian coins that old, those coins haven`t seen the light of day for over 100 years, great hunt congrats
So fun!
What an epic site, congrats guys!
Thanks for watching!
Wow…. Could you have a bigger shovel? Terrible consideration for the home owner.
All holes were put back neatly and cleaned up great. The homeowner was thrilled to have us there finding and saving history.
Awesome hunting, I find a lot of Indians and I find using a toothpick with some olive oil works great. Let the coin set with small amount of oil overnight to soak up crude and toothpick again. Wash oil off.
Don’t clean with pickle juice,
Very cool.
Thanks for watching Dennis!
Could I join you guys on a old hunt someday
Nice finds man..
Thanks buddy!
Thanks!
Thanks so much for the support Harry!
That IHP is not 1863. Too thin.
Yeah you may be right. I can't remember
Homeowner loves his new lawn lol
He was thrilled to have us there finding and saving history. Zero complaints whatsoever
Wow, got any bigger diggimng Tools? You Guys are Not very good at digging holes. Bet you wont be allowed to detect there again after that.
Place is an absolute swamp and the land owner doesn't care one bit. You can't dig targets here with tiny little detecting shovels. You usually have to dig 2 plugs because the first one doesn't even get to the target most of the time
Hey, nubies! A small spray bottle of water and a tooth brush makes it easy to clean the coin and find a date without damage to the coin, which can happen when you wipe it on your jeans.
We really only wipe copper coins or modern silver on our jeans. Copper coins specifically Indians or wheats are pretty much worthless out of the ground. Many people also advise not to use a spray bottle and brush and just use your fingernail or tooth pick. In the end I don't really think it matters much because all coins dug from the ground are already environmentally damaged and would likely not even be able to be graded.
Wow I never saw so much destruction done to someone's lawn. They were nice enough to give permission and you show disrespect digging big round plugs withna big shovel. That is not the proper technique for coin retrival. I use a Lesche digger withba serrated edge and dig a semi plug and fold is back like a trap door keeping some of the roots intact. Btw, what a nice old area to hunt finding all those old coins.
Negative. Assuming you're talking about the first spot with the green grass? No destruction occurred and the landowners were more than happy with how we handled it. As for the other locations where the older coins came out, it's a literally swamp, so nobody even cared and we still did our best regardless. The targets were super deep there and the land is a warzone already. Thanks for your concerns though!
