- This past Saturday, September 16th, myself along with Quarter Hoarder, Dog Tag Doug, Nichola, and about 130 of our closest friends attended the DFA8 Hunt in Ashburnham, Massachusetts put on by Dirt Fishing Adventures. This was truly the most UNBELIEVABLE metal detecting event I’ve ever been to! Some of the old coins and extremely rare relics that came out of the ground were absolutely jaw-dropping, and although I did not end up digging much myself (per usual with metal detecting events, since I love to chat with everybody), I did manage to find a white whale of a bucket lister with my Minelab Manticore. This was a metal detecting adventure for the books! Enjoy!

Holy cow, I’m still in awe of all those amazing pieces! Loved the event and nothing beats spending the day with you and Nichola. Looking forward to the next one Stef!
Thanks Jason! We had such a blast hanging out with you and Doug - can’t wait to see you again soon, of course it’s never soon enough! 😄
Awesome video . Great stuff found
@@mikelettiere1090 thank you! We had an awesome day!
Dog Tag Doug and Jason👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Awesome hunt for sure. Wish I could have been there. Took out my new 900 out for first time the the other day to a permission I’ve pounded for 18 years and found very old ring in heavy iron. Totally blown away. Stef you rock!
That’s awesome, glad to hear the 900 is doing well! Thanks for watching!
Wow that look like a really fun day with everybody.. I'm not really into detecting events.. I'm more of a lone-wolf., but you look like y'all had a good time... You're pretty knowledgeable Steph
.. good luck hunting out there ,watch out for them snakes 😂
Thank you! I don’t do a ton of group hunts, but I really enjoy these. Always a great time!
Stef, what a great event. The finds were fantastic and love the jaw harp. Thanks, Scott
Thank you! It was a really special day - and I love my jaw harp! 😄
Some amazing buttons from the event. Plus a couple of coins and other relics
It was a great day!
Great day hunting with friends, old and new! Lots of treasures found, GW, my opinion was the find of the day! But WOW, what an incredible day for artifacts and coinage, buttons, bells, snake! Looked like a good time had by all! Til next time, keep on digging...😊
Thank you, it was such a blast! I’m just glad I managed to squeak in a little bit of digging, because I chat a LOT - put me, Jason, and Doug together, and very few holes are dug between the 3 of us, lol! Find of the day was a toss-up between the GW and MA militia button in my opinion, I believe the latter is rarer because I’ve never seen one dug… but a GW is iconic!
I missed such a great time 😢 I am glad everyone did well and I surely missed you all! You even got Janice in there, she's amazing! That GW 😍 Sweet bells and buttons! Wicked happy hunting Stef ✌️
I hate to say it, but you missed the best one yet - let’s hope the next one is even better so you’re there to have fun with us! Happy hunting! 😄
@StefDigs it definitely seems that way! The jacksonian button is awesome too, I absolutely love those buttons! I have one with a ship on it. No doubt, that place with short cut grass would be even more amazing.
@@wicked_digger I would love to go back when the grass is short if the farmer will invite Brian back for another hunt! I love Jacksonian buttons, too. The one I found retained almost all gilding and it’s the horse and rider variety.
Steph, I spoke to the owner and he mentioned opening up next year for a two day hunt with camping on site. BTW, I'm the guy walking out of the field in the beginning as you were walking in and I said " look at that, Stef Digs in the house "
@@DirtDevilDetectn haha, awesome, well hello again! That site was fantastic, I would gladly camp out and hunt it again once it’s been hayed some more!
Great video!, Day and Finds. Thanks Stef. Was nice to meet you. Wayne
Great to meet you too, Wayne! Fun day!
Best group hunt I’ve ever done. Such a great time saving history with so many awesome people. Can’t wait for the next hunt!
-Lance
I agree, what an amazing day! Huge congrats again on your button - one of the best finds I’ve probably ever held in my hand!
I have seen a lot of snakes this year. I still don't like 'em! Fun day and it was great to see you!
It was a blast, for sure! Hope you had a good time, too! I love snakes, so that little guy was a pleasant surprise. 😄
Thanks for helping me set up my detector Stef!
You’re welcome! Feel free to reach out with questions - I have more time to answer thoroughly when I’m not in the field. 😊
That looked like it was a blast! Even if you don't find anything at those events just being around others who love the same hobby makes it all worthwhile. Congratulations on your first jaw harp! ❤
Thank you! This was definitely one of those special group hunts - they’re not this hot too often!
Great day !!!! nice to see what was found, Thank you for sharing Stef
Thanks for watching!
My first group dig and It was very nice to meet you, I found a leg trap ,horse shoe and silver plated buckle :)@@StefDigs
I was there. Great time! Well done video Stef!
Thank you! Glad you had a great time, as well!
What a fun group! Nice finds, too
Thank you! Had an awesome day!
Great vid Steph!!! Some truly incredible finds! 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Couldn’t have asked for a better day!
Hell yeah!! You met my buddy Jay!
I love that find he shared! I don’t think I mentioned it to him, but if he takes it to a jeweler, it’ll cost like $20 to straighten it out. I’d totally do it!
@@StefDigs he’s good folk.
Hey Stef looked like a very great time out there. All the Relics and Coins that were found are amazing. Congrats on your Bucket Lister. The George Washington and Massachusetts Buttons that were found what History behind them. So cool. The guys Bell he found that was huge and amazingly in one piece incredible. Love seeing you with Jason and Doug. Take Care Stef.
It was an outstanding day - what a site! Thanks for watching!
Certainly seemed a great time was had by all- so many spectacular finds! Lord willing, I'll join you folks one of these coming years.
Hope you do! It was a wonderful day that I won’t soon forget!
Real cool and historic buttons.
I agree! The finders of those buttons should still be doing the happy dance! 😄
Wow Stef, you have finds here I didn't even know about!
So much great stuff was found, I’m not surprised! 😂 Feel free to take screen grabs of anything the property owner might like to see - a heartfelt thank you to you, the property owner, and all of the staff who helped make it an excellent day!
I WISH I could have been there! Thank you for recording it do I could attend virtually. And as you said, many REALLY great finds. I recently made a decision on a question raised a few times on your channel. A find that has appeal as a keeper needs no identification. Of course, my opinion and $4 will buy a cup of coffee at McDonalds.
Thank you! I still like to ID everything - helps others ID their finds down the road, should they dig the same thing! 😄
Holy smokes, amazing finds by all!!
Thank you! It was a great day!
Really cool video Stef! What a great time! One day I hope to get back east and detect an event. ‘Till then keep being awesome!
Thank you! It was a super day!
Stef gets me fired up before I dig. It's like eye of the tiger before a workout. Lol
Haha, I love it! 😂 Glad it gets you fired up! 🤘🏻
Lol! You got me! I thought you found the GW ! Still a good find! Congrats on the jaw Harp. I have only found 2 of them myself. Only 1 good one. They are so fun to imagine who was playing them! Good Video!
Haha, thanks Steph! Oh trust me, if I found the GW I’d say so in the title! 😂 The jaw harp was definitely fun to find!
I had a hard time getting my coil over stuff but I'm glad some people pulled some amazing stuff out! My luck came during the raffle but it was great meeting you and the QH guys!
For sure! A lot of us got lucky - I hope you get something epic at the next one! Good to meet you! 🤘🏻
Awesome finds!
Thank you!
That hunt looked like SOOOO MUCH FUN 🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations to everyone on all the awesome finds. Glad u got a bucketlister jaw harp as well. I'm definitely not gonna be any help for identifying the unknowns in this video... Lol, but hope you can find someone else that can 😊. Great Hunt, Awesome Video, and thank you for sharing it with us!
It was such an insane day, you just don’t have organized hunts like this very often! They’re always hit and miss - this one was a hit! 😄
@@StefDigs I'm going to one at the end of October and they have been finding some good stuff at the previous hunts that they put on... mostly civil war finds etc, hoping this one has lots of great find as well 🤩
Great video Stef, if was the best hunt ever, wow everyone finds were fantastic!
Was such a great day! Huge congrats on your lifetime find - doesn’t get much better than that! 😄
I have a couple of fantastic permissions, but this hunt is hard to top.
Toad heads , Dekay snakes oh myyy ,, good hunt as usual
Thank you! Was a great day!
Just subscribed to your channel. Found it so much fun. I'm in the UK. Love watching these USA ones. Bought a detector but its so hard here to get premmission, s... Great job steph. Love yall all
Thanks for subscribing! Yeah, it’s a different world over there, we don’t have any sort of FLO/reporting requirement in the US, although there is a Treasure Act regarding hoards and the like (however it’s so rare, I don’t even know the details of how it works!). Hope you enjoy the future videos! 😄
Yes!!! Made my day
Seriously the best group hunt I’ve ever been to! What a blast!
What a great day, so much fun. I found the same brooch and mine still had the picture on it, Brian took a pic to show the family to ask if was a old relative . Great job on the vid, Stef 🏋🏻♂️
That was such a cool find, I wish I’d seen it in person, congrats! What an awesome day for everybody!
@@StefDigs Sorry I will send you a pic on messenger.
@@TheLandPirates1 oh I saw the photo Brian posted, it’s amazing!
Man, great hunt. My bucket list is to attend one of these group digs. Im hoping on going to dig stock if there is one in 2024.
Thank you! Organized hunts are a blast, but they’re even better when they’re this good - definitely worth attending! 😄
Good crud eye lol. 🤣I like Stephisticated crud vision, way more gooder🤣🤣🤣 Crazy amount of just everything. Awesome video.💯💯💯
Hahaha! I like that, lol! 🤣 It was a great day. Thanks for watching!
Loved the hunt steph ty
Thanks for watching! 😊
@@StefDigs welcome baby
ZOOOOWEEEEMAMAAAAA Incredible awesome group of Detectorists and saves!! Well done all!!
Thanks Ally! Was an incredible day!
@@StefDigs no doubt!! Will you be attending Joe DeMarco’s memorial hunt? I am! Hope to see you!
@@PinkPowerAllyTreasureHunter I really wish I could! I told Debbie I wanted to go as her Detexpert if she would be attending, but she can’t even make it due to one of the competitions landing on the same weekend. He’s one of the biggest losses our community has ever endured, without a doubt. I only hung out with him once, but that evening (even through beer goggles, lol!), I could tell what an intelligent, humble, accomplished and strong person he was. RIP Joe! ❤️ Forever missed!
@@StefDigs You are right about the massive loss for the detecting community but also for his beloved Wife Julie and 3 kids. I am honored to have met him at the DDPA hunts, high DSJ hunts and former hunts that 'shall not be named' and he came north to our big Toronto Hunt one year with Debbie. I wish she could send you to Joe's Memorial Hunt and for another reason as well but i'll DM you *wink
@@PinkPowerAllyTreasureHunter hmm, well you’ve piqued my interest! Sure, shoot me a message! 😄
Amazing finds a lot of my bucket listers I was going to go when I saw the hunt was coming up but it was my Daughter's baby shower so I hope for next Year that was some great finds
Hope you can make it next time, too! It was a fantastic day!
cool hunt. the thin brass little oval gilted ring was a locket inset piece
Thanks Dave! Makes total sense!
Awesome Awesome video!!! One of our guys was there. Said he had a great time! Too bad he didn't hit the field of dreams!! P.S. super jealous of the jews harp!!! I've been wanting to find one!!
Thank you! It really was a great time - this was a fun video to edit! And I do love my jaw harp. 😄
The button in the conestoga bell clip looks like some of the French Marine type buttons I’ve found at French/Indian war sites. Nice jaw harp. Hard to find them complete.
Interesting, it’s a cool button! And thank you! So glad I finally got my coil over a jaw harp - long time coming!
This was such a fun event ... a lot of great finds and the weather held up for the most part. My jaw dropped when the lady uncupped her hands and showed me the GW button. WOAHHH!
It was awesome! When I got back to the tent for noon, I was stunned at how much everybody had found!
Pretty cool historical finds Stef, i actually thought about going to that one too , my loss😂
Thank you! Oh no! Get your butt to the next one, it’s a great time!
Stef, I really enjoy watching your videos. We have so much undiscovered history waiting to be found. Did you ever find a 1793 Chain Cent and how much is the GW button worth? Thanks!
Thanks so much for watching! I’ve never found a chain cent, but I’ve found an 1800 Draped Bust half dime which is around the same mintage (40,000). The GW in this video is probably worth $1,000+, tough to say as I haven’t seen it cleaned up (it was cleaned up). I found the variety with the eagle - it’s pretty worn but the shank is intact; and I saw several examples of that one sold between $1,000-$2,000.
This video was awesome ! Where was MERRILL ? I hope he didn't get washed away on the beach 😂. Will you be in staten island next weekend ? I'm rearranging my work schedule to be there where I was born and raised
Thank you! Lol, I’m assuming he’s alive, I believe he just dropped a beach video! 😂 Won’t be in Staten Island next weekend, unfortunately. Hope to get out to more of these group digs soon!
Wtg stef
Thanks Dwight!
I’m toadally sure that’s a toads head
Haha, I agree! Such a cute little toad!
Quarter hoarder has a twin.
I don’t think I saw a twin in the video though, lol!
Do you know what Nicola TH-cam channel is
She doesn’t have her own, she’s just on my channel a lot.
