One of my favorite things about your videos is how you care about leaving the environment in better shape than you found it. You toss trash, refill the holes you create, and even pick up after others. Good luck on all your finds - and don't change a thing!
You know I enjoy this a lot. What I am noticing on a lot of videos is most of the people that leave negative feedback don't have anywhere near the subscribers you have. Great job thanks for sharing.
Yo JD, I must admit that I am loving your videos. I watch them every chance I can. You are going to make a huge name for yourself, trust me on that. Keep doing your thing man. Salute! I'll keep watching.
The following is not meant to be sarcastic or judgemental in any way. Look at it as another lesson taught by an "Old Timer" 77yrs. I've been detecting since 1970 and can give you a few bits of insight, as to what more you need to do to, to become more "Property" friendly. #1 Learn to pinpoint much more accurately. Get it down to a 2" dia. plug. Your on someones well manicured lawn. #2 Use a drop cloth of muslin, burlap or canvas, with a 2" dia. hole in the center (24"sq.), to place over your target, to catch any dirt that will be dug out, so as to "leave no trace". #3 Stand with your weight on the plug after you have finished, to "Re-seat" the plug back to actual ground level it was dug from. On the beautiful lawns that I dug, I carried a small bag of fertilizer, to insure that I would find no brown patches after a week. YES! Most certainly a little more work, but to the landowner your a jewel to keep. The 2" plug will never be found, even if you point him to the plug itself. Good word travels very fast in our hobby. Bad, travels even faster. #4 Cover your Mic with a small piece of medical gauze during windy days. It won't take much. Your subscribers will bless you for it. #5 And finally, SLOW DOWN. Like Tom, the owner of the GPAA says. It's not having the Gold, as much it's finding the Gold. Your getting good exercise, Adrenalin flow, seeing beautiful county and getting paid for it as well. #6 #1 is the key to your success. Perfect it. Good luck in your endeavors. Bill
Good hunt & always love to see a murmuration of starlings - it is one of Nature's special miracles! Don't see as many or as large as they used to be. Happy hunting :) Shame about the times when other hunters leave a horrible mess - some folks have no class! :D
Very sad to see how some people treat the hobby....leaving holes....leaving there junk....it affects our hobby....very sad. On a brighter note, that is one beautiful brick house !! Nice hunt Jon.... thanks.
Just discovered your channel and I am fascinated by your finds. I am a senior but back in the day I used to talk about buying your machine and going off to find buried treasure. Do you sell your stuff (finds). My spouse loves history also. Do you make a living selling? Hope you don't mind my questions. I love that you share your knowledge and respect the land you work on.
Another great video JD, came at a good time, ice storm here in Kansas. Ft. Riley is as the name implies a military base, perhaps the dog owner was transferred there? Any bases near by?
when i go metal detecting when i dig something up be it trash or not I know its polite and the right thing to do to fill in the holes and recycle the trash.
the knife you have is a Camco knife it is an advertising knife this on for - The selig co. that made waxes - insecticides- floor waxes -soaps and disinfectants they had multiple locations
I think you need to slow down your swings and overlap better. Generally most guys do that, I have gone behind guys and picked up coins they missed. Remember your signal is cone shaped,starting out wide and narrow to a point. You can miss a deep target by a quarter of an inch! Trust me I know. I know too a coin in the ground on its edge will not detect but a year later with the frost or even root growth that coin would be turned enough to detect. One thing I have learned,never assume a signal is whatever the signal may say it is or isnt. I have had mixed signals bouncing between gold or silver and iron,then dig a nail right next to a ring or necklace. I found a few good things that way. One mans junk may be buried next to treasure.
I did that to add in some fun video footage. Wasn't focusing on targets during the shot of me swinging. And on high end Minelab detectors it's not cone shaped like concentric coils. They use full band spectrum technology which penetrates the same depth under the entire coil. But yeah, the one I'm using in this video is concentric. :)
At the 50 sec mark on this video it looks like there is a ring..or....a soda can tab embedded in the sand right in front of the toe of your right boot when your filling in one of the holes left behind by.
Hi love your site. You talked about knocking on doors. How do you approach the owners to dig on their land ? Do you give some of your finds to the land owners? Do you get written consent from the owners to did? I have a lot of Victorian homes where I live. sounds like lots of fun. Hope you or someone can help me with my Qs
Ashton Wiegand I was stationed there in the 80s. Lived on post, Manhattan, Ogden, Junction City and Wakefield; spent many summer weekends at Milford Lake.
I don't think i would worry too much about unfilled holes in an obviously polutted creek bottom. It is easy to see that the water has oil contamination by the rainbow effect and if that doesn't convince you then dead wildlife has to.
been seeing that more over the past year than ever before,,, real sloppy digging, as well as leaving the piece of junk next to the hole. our new generation of hunters are going to kill the hobby some of us have loved for many decades
I just wanted to make a couple of corrections on what you have stated in this video. First you are finding Wheat Cents not Pennies. Second the reason that US Nickels turn red or brown or black is not due to the nickle content but rather to the copper that is mixed in with the nickel. If you compare early Canadian Nickels they are pure nickel thus when you dig them out of the ground they are silver/grey. Nice video keep up the good TH'ing. Happy 2017 to all! ;-)
You should start telling short stories about the permissions you get. Keep it short without giving away personal information. Something like you knocked on the door and gave your enthusiast talk, and whether the owner was okay with letting you hunt or not. Not that you have to, but it's nice to hear how you obtain the hunting spots.
Why do a lot of people dig such big plugs mine average plug is three inches across,use a stainless tulip bulb planter. It's good for eight inches deep.
Is there anything you don't hunt or know about?? LOL And by the way maybe the dog belonged to military personnel. Sometimes those big homes were used as temporary housing for military high ranking families.
When you get permission to detect a big property like this one, did you offer to show the owner your finds? Did they ask to see? Do you offer to split anything 50/50 or do they ask? Just curious to know how this type of negotiation takes place. What your normal procedure is. I'm getting ready for my detector to arrive in the next week or so and am starting to think about places to look.
1909S VDB is worth a lot! www.ebay.com/itm/1909-S-VDB-Lincoln-Cent-Wheat-Penny-Collectors-Favorite-Choice-AU-Key-Date-/371833555456?hash=item569301ca00:g:JXQAAOSwEzxYcEoS
I just meant that it's a spot I detect that I show in my videos. This is on public property and everyone has the right to be there. I didn't mean "my spot" in a possessive way. It's a place where people walk/run with their dogs everyday, leaving huge holes can get someone hurt, and leaving large trash items on top the ground is just rude.
No I'm not. I just mean it's a spot where I metal detect. And "I" myself, metal detect there. I refer to many places as "the spot" or "my spot" I'm friendly with everyone I meet, especially in the hobby, and try to make new friends. The people I don't care for are the ones that go on private property without permissions, or leave huge holes on public property, putting a bad taste in peoples mouth for the hobby, and even get it banned some places. Judge me how you wish, but I was not implying that in a possessive way. I showed this location in my videos because I don't even care about it. I've never found anything good there and was just burning some time. :)

enjoyed the hunt, thanks for sharing
Some very good finds Jon, I absolutely love the transit token. Very cool!

Bill Gardner - Thank you for the insights - wish i could save this for future reference!
Your welcome. Good hunting, make a ground cloth and follow rule #1. You will be welcomed on much more land.

Iloveit
i really enjoy your videos JD
You were correct about the pocket knife. Advertising for The Selig Company

Awesome video! :-D
Hi I am from Knoxville Tn too Nice video I just ran across your channel and I subscribed can't wait to see more
Just discovered your channel and I am fascinated by your finds. I am a senior but back in the day I used to talk about buying your machine and going off to find buried treasure. Do you sell your stuff (finds). My spouse loves history also. Do you make a living selling? Hope you don't mind my questions. I love that you share your knowledge and respect the land you work on.
I think your great take no notice of the negative comments
awesome merc. congrats.
Nice finds and a lovely old house enjoyed the video
fun day like the token and the dog tag
Another great video JD, came at a good time, ice storm here in Kansas.
Ft. Riley is as the name implies a military base, perhaps the dog owner was transferred there? Any bases near by?
you can put a windscreen on your camera, just search "how to make a windscreen for camera" on TH-cam
Awesome hunt
I think that "heavy" metal piece is for some kind of stamping, or for pressing seams flat in soft metal.
when i go metal detecting when i dig something up be it trash or not I know its polite and the right thing to do to fill in the holes and recycle the trash.
You good I like watching you I learn a lot from you do you do all metal mode?
Those birds are Starlings, they migrate around this time of year.

I hate it when people don't fill in their holes too (or haul out their trash)!
Guess who gets blamed for it (all of us).
Great addition to your seek for silver coins, and awesome rendition to Silver porn.
I am wondering about the 'rainbow' runoff you are swinging over (3:04 is a big stream of it) ... is it some sort of pollution (fuel/oil)?
Like the music
What brand metal detector would you recommend for a first timer?

what do you do with the wheat pennies that you find?
I find alot of those wheat pennies too. I think i hit 20 of them today
..........
I think it's funny that you found that rabies tag. Because I live about 5 minutes away from ft. Riley Kansas.
Ashton Wiegand I was stationed there in the 80s. Lived on post, Manhattan, Ogden, Junction City and Wakefield; spent many summer weekends at Milford Lake.
the iron button is a overall button or like you said a jeans button
Looks like u use the Teknetics more than the E-Trac anymore
Is that oil streaks? Why that like that? Just wondering.
Do you live in Knoxville ?
I don't think i would worry too much about unfilled holes in an obviously polutted creek bottom. It is easy to see that the water has oil contamination by the rainbow effect and if that doesn't convince you then dead wildlife has to.
where do you keep the cooins
how do you clean your coins
i have an advertisement notebook from the same company as the knife
I have a question I have a 1944 D nickel is it a war/silver
Yes, any nickel with a mint mark above the Monticello is 35% silver!
Thanks JD
Subbed to your other channel ;)
MultiJake
You should keep a rake in the car
they make it bad on responsible detectorist leaving the hole and trash.
there's a detectorist that uses our permission too. he leaves awful holes.
been seeing that more over the past year than ever before,,, real sloppy digging, as well as leaving the piece of junk next to the hole. our new generation of hunters are going to kill the hobby some of us have loved for many decades
what are those bright lines on river bed looks like petrol
Lisaa mc oil of some type
skate key?

How much are wheat pennies worth?
1909S VDB is worth a lot!

Sean
They're worth pennies. 😀
Depends on the date, mint mark, and condition.
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaam sloppy metal detecters
There's a wheat penny worth $85,000 dollars.
You missed a golf ball
Too bad that 1943 dime wasn't a copper wheatback.
there was a gold ball
i think it was a stamp
What ever happened to cutaplug?
He's still around. Just been busy!
That is a dremel wheel bit not a coin
really is their aaaa
god even in maine its 50
its weird for maine to be that warm in january but it has dropped into really cold temps now
raccoons leave holes like that
Hah funny song
First
TONIJN TV the benefits of unemployment👍
Haha lol
At the beginning of the video that just gives others a bad name. People are lazy and ignorant!!!! No other way to put it sometimes.
On a ten dollar bill i found a 444
Play it again sports will buy used golf balls, tennis balls and baseballs if they are in decent shape. Pick 'em!
don't blame the rest of us for yer sever OCD!!! AS YOU POINTED OUT EVEN THE RAINS FILL THE HOLES BACK IN!!
Its good detecting practices, not ocd. More common sense than anything else. I guess some people don't have it.
clickbait you put your camera in the tree you didn't find anything in it
first it isn't your river spot bucko, and second it looks like it floods everyday so the holes are no big deal.
C
what a garbage rant at the beginning, holes on river fill themselves up
sounds like an excuse for lazyness
Not at all but if the river rises and falls or its tide effected its kind of stupid
it's a river it will fill it's self in !!!!!😕
people still need to fill in the basketball sized(in this case) holes they dug and take the trash to a proper disposal site.
What right does a coin hunter have to go on somedones property and take money? Did you get permission/?
I always have permission when I'm on private property.
music ? sucks !
Sounds like someone needs to get over his self righteousness.. Just a note, I did not see any trash being picked up by mister holier than thou.....
someones been detecting in your spot? you have a claim there? no,,,, so its everyone's spot noob
I just meant that it's a spot I detect that I show in my videos. This is on public property and everyone has the right to be there. I didn't mean "my spot" in a possessive way. It's a place where people walk/run with their dogs everyday, leaving huge holes can get someone hurt, and leaving large trash items on top the ground is just rude.
when you imply your spot thats exactly what you implying
and if you see that fix it stop complaining be the better guy
No I'm not. I just mean it's a spot where I metal detect. And "I" myself, metal detect there. I refer to many places as "the spot" or "my spot" I'm friendly with everyone I meet, especially in the hobby, and try to make new friends. The people I don't care for are the ones that go on private property without permissions, or leave huge holes on public property, putting a bad taste in peoples mouth for the hobby, and even get it banned some places. Judge me how you wish, but I was not implying that in a possessive way. I showed this location in my videos because I don't even care about it. I've never found anything good there and was just burning some time. :)
I did fix them and haul the trash out. :)
