Rolling to Rome! - Metal Detecting a Mysterious Colonial Field After Digging an Ancient ROMAN Coin!

- We’ve metal detected more colonial farms and fields over the years then I can ever try to remember. But of all the amazing places we’ve been and early coins we’ve found, no location has ever come close to this one!
Over the past several weeks we’ve been hunting these fields meticulously, slowly working our way through and moving over new sections each trip. We’ve broken every record I could think of and still counting. Over 15 coins from the 1600’s including 5 silver hammered coins so far. Over 40 large copper coins from the 1600’s-mid-1800s. Close to 200 buttons from military and civilian and several made centuries before America was even a country.
But last week as we hit yet another new part of the field w me stumbled across another amazing hotspot, tucked back near the creek where an old trading post mess likely sitting. We found another dozen large copper coins here including some scarce ones like a Virginia Halfpenny from 1773, a William and Mary halfpence from 1694, and dozens of others around the time the new country was founded. But then out of nowhere a total shocker that floored us all, an ancient Roman coin that from our research was made all the way back in the year 270AD! For a field that has given up so much so far, we can only imagine what might still be coming as we continue to push our way through!

That field has been absolutely mind blowing. You can probably do a whole video of just you guys sitting around a table going over everything that was found there over all the total trips..that would be something. Looking forward to seeing more, congratulations and good luck on the next hunt!!👍
Got me a field like this. Every year I've lost 6"s to barley stubble and I'm not allowed on it once it's tilled. This year there was suger-beet. Crop lifted, flat plane: Bamm! Late Bronze Age ring money and an Iron Age terret ring first half day as well as coins. It's too wet to plough over here in UK so I'm a happy old swing-monkey.
I was just thinking about Lynn's nickname. I think "Lending a hand Lynn" works.😁 She is always there to help identify and support all of you.
Great finds. Keep digging those low signals Jason! That gold coin found at Digstock 9 came up a 71 on the deus2, which means on our legends, it would be closer to a 28-30.
My dark brown/black Midwestern soil that grows corn so well is so, so jealous of those farm fields right now. Plus...Old, American Silver in the hole, Gotta Love It!
“I don’t have the best luck”. After finding 2,000 year old coin.😂😂😂😂😂
The button at 15:00 is a LA button (light artillery) military 5th regiment
It's a War of 1812 Button. Look up: War of 1812 Light Artillery Regiment Button from Mobile Alabama
Those snow geese! Amazing!
I would knock on every door within 5 miles of that field that are over 2 acres and say, "Hi. How would you like some cookies?"
I found a Roman coin around 1,500 to 1,700 years old in Illinois. Took it to two coin shop and they both agreed that it is a Roman coin
at 15:00 thats the 1st "BOLO Badge" issued to the Army of that region...lol...you may have to google that...thanks again for all you People's time and effort
CONGRATS TO ALL YOU GUYS....Still killing it in that area...Super finds for everyone...Great Roman Charlie...👍
You all find the coolest stuff!
Thanks for the great show. Photography was fantastic. Waiting for Doug to make the next outrageous find. Cheers to all
Amazing finds. I think Lynne looks like she wants to play with a detector!
Awesome hunt Jason. Super amazing finds like always, Cap Bust Matt, super score on that amazing Dime. All the best John
Good luck dirt fishing guys!!! love your show and you all!!!!!
Hey everyone great hunt. Matt Congrats on the 1930 Half Dime. Congrats to everyone with the Coppers and Buttons. All those small Buttons with so much detail. Amazing. Matt Congrats on the Watch Winder also. That and a Half Dime are still on my Bucket List. Take Care everyone. Crazie Digging
thanks man. it was a fun day. happy hunting
An exciting video and great finds! Perhaps the newest digger could be named 'New Matt'?
Those geese are gorgeous, they almost loook silvery next to the dark sky❤
Iv been counting down the hour for another Quarter Hoarder video and hey it has arrived!!!!! Love you guys
Good day at the super secret field, very nice
Matt might be happy he came along. LOL! Unreal finds from this site, congrats everyone.
I was 😂
Awesome finds again. You guys could probably stay there all year.
Awesome Me and Turd Ferguson will watch this tonight ❤
Another great video, that mic is worth every penny.
In the weather you guys dig in I can't fault a raised nipple. Good hunt guys
Button looked like 1901 with fancy all around
Great finds what a honey hole. Nice half dime and a busy button day. I remember watching a video where the guys goes looking for old military buttons. The place was and abandoned company that would recycle old clothing materials for some sort of padding.
Well done to the FNG - Matt with that beautiful capped bust half dime !!
thank you
Fantastic hunt I love those little buttons.That 1/2 dime was a sweet find. i love all of those low numbers you were digging,
PS let us know what mic you are using as wind noise at the beach kills us
Another excellent hunt and those way cool finds especially the largies and relics even though it was windy it didn't slow you all down either.
Rich’s mystery button is a light artillery 1st regiment button from the war of 1812x I sent you a picture of the exact same button that I found on Facebook.
Great finds! I have not found anything capped bust in 12 years of digging holes! Congrats guys. That field is paying off big-time!😊
Looks like star's 🌟 around it letters B O L maybe it's is hard too see good luck love the videos
That spot you are at makes it seem like finding old coppers is as easy as finding clad…. Great job guys, these videos are amazing.
Awesome return hunt and finds Congrats Guys 🌮
I love this field it's absolutely amazing keep up the great work thank you for sharing this six stars
That must be called the field of dreams right there. Lol. Wow. And I noticed metal detecting is way better after a soaking rain too. Something new always pops up......no matter how much I've detected before. It's times like this I wish I still lived in NJ. I'm sure I woulda found much older stuff up there. And heck....yall probly found thousands of dollars in buttons alone. I can't imagine how much in total all of you found out there.
Beautiful 1830 Capped half dime! Only 1.24 million minted, even with the environmental damage it's a $100 all day. Retail value for VF/XF condition $175-$300. Congrats Matt!
Awesome hunt. Thanks for sharing!!!
Crazy field for sure
That was a busy place for the past few hundred years! So wild, the amount of amazing coins and relics!
Awesome find new Matt
It appears your site of a lifetime is going to produce endlessly- the new Matt's Capped Bust Half Dime, stunning condition! Yet another awesome trip and each one leaves us anxious to see the next vid- Well done men, see you Thursday!
Thats the field of dreams. Another great hunt for the Q H team
Great hunt to you all. Can't wait til next week.
What a awesome site you guys are very fortunate to be able to hunt such awesome sites look forward to watching more hunts God Bless and happy dirt fishin…Virgil
That button is a light artillery button that rich found
Again you all made me smile. Blessings
Awesome hunt and finds Lynn makes a great cheerleader too. Nice silver 1830 half dime.
Love watching.keep up the digs
Great finds. Thanks for sharing them.
Rich's mystery find "could be" a BPOE , vintage Elks cuff button top (2 piece).
The elks were founded in 1868...
Nice finds, would be nice to know what was in that area so long ago that left so many cool finds.
Another Great Day!!!! Thank you Jason for sharing it with us!!! God Bless Us All!!!
Another amazing episode. Thanks guys
Im in my hotel room in PA, here for the come out swinging hunt. Im catching up on all your videos iv missed. You guys killed it!!! I think I need to move,becuase you guys find in one day what takes most people a life time 😳❤
Awesome video!
Awesome finds! Loved watching!
Awesome finds! That half dime is beautiful. I'm in southwestern Ontario Canada and occasionally find US coins used by the early settlers of the area circa 1820-1850 but i havent been lucky enough to come across a capped bust yet. Definitely on my bucket list though! GLHH
Thank you. I was very happy to find it.
I dug a small flat button like those ones you found at Digstock at one of the 1860s houses.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
Hello Quarter Hoarder,Dog Tag Doug,Rich Matt and Charlie and Lynn
Hello Gregory!
Great hunt 👍👍❤️
Rich found the top part of a two part button. Sorry if I'm redundant, I didn't wait to read all of the comments.
I know where you guys are in this video!!! would love to come watch and help one day!!
Nice hunt
Sweet man love this field I gotta score me one
11:30 they were called flower buttons !
YALL CAN CALL MATT (CAPPED MATT)
Keep the videos coming. I wish I could find a field like that one. Can you tell me where I can get one of those pinpointer lanyards?
So...about this "those who only use the legend get dibs on invites"?? 👋 Lol. Great video as always.
Funny thing is I follow you on TH-cam and watched your vid on coils and went out and bought the lg15 .love it in trashy areas. Good job on your videos too.
@@dirtfishermatt22 awesome! The 15 has been useful for us In those trashy spots. I'm just starting to get more familiar with the 24 and it's capability. Another good one for those trashy spots. Thank you for your fandom!
You guys find some pretty cool things .My thought is maybe give the lady friend a metal detector to use. She seems to hang with you a bit. Good hunting.
You guys need to talk Lynn into swinging a machine. She might as well put in some work if she’s there.
I have chronic Lyme disease with a lot of joint pain….cant hold a detector for more than a few minutes. Maybe someday….if things improve.
The LEGEND is THE GOAT...I OWN 3 OF THEM!!! the 3rd I haven't even used yet BTW....I LOVE the legend so much
Richs find is the front of a 2 piece button😅
Rich’s copper at the end of the video might be a Classic Head idk maybe just give it a second look I could be seeing things
I have been using flags on iffy targets when I work an area something for on the way out been liking it 🌎✌️🖖Dig
Field of dreams!!!
What was Rich's find?
Beautiful 1/2 Dime!
“People that also use the legend get first dibs on invites”, you guys must not want the competition of the Deus2 users 🤣😂😜 yeah, I had to do it 😆👍
A TH-camr debunked every bit of Columbus "discovering" America that was thought in school in 30 minutes. Awesome finds!
That's the logo for US Steel.
The tiny button looks like a baby’s button
new name for Lynn, Lightholder Lynn
What no Babylonian coins this week? Haha! I've got the new guy's nickname "Matt-a-two-y" or "Matatwoille" if you want to spell it like the movie. Congrats everyone and GL!
Thank funny.
👍👍
.?where did that Roman coin come from🤷♂️any ideas?
Probably brought over from England by the earliest settlers of that area(early to mid 1600’s) the Quakers. England is full of those Roman, Celtic and Viking coins. Likely found there and carried here and lost
If you guys are in NY ever I’d love to join ya! (I also have a Legend😎)
Dang Rich digs some craters. LOL
What better way to prevent ricknicking? Sounded better than richnicking; although it’s kind of like picknicking that field is!
Maybe the man had all the buttons on his shirt ripped off in a moment of passion, when his wife brought out his lunch...colonial nooner!
I like your style.
Matt Dimen.
I spit my coffee out 😂
the "b" thing the rich found could be part of a 2 piece button
Beginning to think Lynn and Doug are either dating or secretly married based on how frequently they're showing up together in these videos and thumbnail images. 😉
And making Lynn push Doug around while he lounges in that wheelbarrow is just wrong. 😅
What is a 2,000 year old Roman coin doing in the middle of a field in America? Why would any colonial person be carrying that around in their change?
Who Hoo!
I wonder if they sewed the pineapple buttons on upside down, did that mean they were swingers 200 years ago?!
Shoe buttons???
