We are using the same detector ;) I live in Germany and I use my Garrett ACE 250 for 5 or 6 years now and I've found a lot of great stuff with it. Very old things like coins and stuff from the roman age to medieval and WW2 and lots of silver. I've never found any gold with the Garrett but I know people who did. So maybe there was no gold where I was detecting. But I had a great time and my finds were often better as from colleagues with 1500 Euro machines. Go on ;)
Had this problem years ago. Something was there (?). After about the 3rd time this happen I decided I was going to find out what was going on. Sifted the plug. Found a few pellets from 7 1/2 bird shot "lead". Very hard to see when mixed with the dirt.
Awesome! Good hunt and video Kevin! You have a lot of finds there. Heaps of coins. Congrats on the Silver coin! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your next hunt and video. ATB and GL&HH 😊 👍 Arty
Those are some awesome finds. That round tag is a cattle tag. The Joe token must be pretty rare, I can't even find that name on the internet. Good work, thanks for sharing.
Kevin, soak your coins and other metal in vinagar foe a few days. Then use a course brush or brillo pad with baking soda. Re-soak in vinager as needed. Works really well. Frank
that copper piece that you didn't know what it was looks like to be the tip from sword scabbard. maybe Civil War timeframe. the token would be from a coal mine company given out to an employee for pay. but by doing that they keep the money in house. almost like indentured servants. I'll dig more on that one for ya. those are the two items in most excited about.
Great hunt Kevin, nice Merc! Hot rocks are a real pain sometimes- I have a creek I gold pan in and I can't use the metal detector because of the vast amount of hot rocks! HH
Hey cool vlog! .... say is there a knack to getting the protective cover on over the 250 stock coil? Mine seems too small for the coil & will not fit without forcing it!....?
welcome to a great hobby!!! one thing I would suggest is getting a pair of gloves(like the rubber dipped)!!! I learned the hard way about scooping up dirt w/ my bare hands(a bloody mess)...you just don't know what's down there sometimes. man, you are going to love your pinpointer when you get one! I didn't think I needed it when I first started but now I'm not sure I'd hunt without it!!! happy hunting. kishanabear aka plugdug
Never worry about doing the same place thrice or ten times. You'll always miss something. I pounded a low creek bank this summer, probably did it 20 times. It was like 6 feet x 30. Pulled a barber and Merc dime out of it, but not on the same day. Got an AT Pro and my first target was a deep Indian penny. They are in there. Try a different direction if you can.
I'm waiting on my Ace 250 to be delivered.....I'm anxious...good video.....Anyone know if an ultrasonic cleaner would be worth investing in to clean up the treasure bits?
Kevin Robinson that did not help at all - I definitely have many hours on the machine but was asking what settings you use - I am sorry that was a bit much to ask but thankfully other TH-camrs shared their settings - have a great day
Hey brother just be careful some of that stuff you dig up could be contaminated with things. I would wear gloves. Good finds and by the way your daughter is adorable. Good video brother.
If you ever find silver coins like that Merc. and you want to clean them up use baking soda and a little salt; rub that on them with a little warm water. They'll look like they're brand new.
take cup of white vinegar and add three table spoon of edible salt and mix it well and leave your coin in the solution and you will see how clean they would become
That appears to be what they call meteor rock that's making your machine to sound off,and your question on cleaning you can use lemon juice but you never want to rub the coin hard,get you a toothpick and just kinda scratch away all the grime dirt e.t.c but very lightly and when you are done with that actually rubbing oils straight from your skin will keep a nice patina to them.look up AquaChigger and follow him on TH-cam and Nugget Noggin you will be glad you did ,hope this helps from a West Virginian!! Good luck and God Bless!
The token is most likely belonging to a man named Joe szentmartony. He immigrated to Pennsylvania in the 1800’s and was from Hungary. He died in the south-westernmost county of Pennsylvania, right near West Virginia. I can only assume it has to do with this man because it’s a very uncommon name for that time period in the Appalachian mountains. Anyways, I found this information on ancestry.com. 👍
Wow, this is the first time I have seen one of your videos. Do you live in West Virginia? I have not been there for over 30 years, but I was born and raised and spent my first 30 years of life, in Huntington.
You do know that rubbing the dirt off will scratch the coin? Get a small wide mouth plastic bottle with a little water in it. Drop the dirty coin in it and agitate it. You can transform a $100 coin or token into a $50 one with that practice. People watch your video and soon everybody is damaging their finds.

@13:27 that is the cap from an old lipstick tube. Great find on the token! It is beautiful!
Thank you.and thanks for the info

@@Robinson-Homestead What notch on the Garrett Ace 250 does it usually fall in, when a small 14 Carrot ring is found?

Thank you for the great tips i will give it a try.
does not always work with all coins i must say

Thanks Ruben.
Indeed the tokens on that are called script. I’ve found them before. An the personalized ones become more valuable to collectors.
“Company Scrip” used as pay by coal companies to miners. Could only be spent at the Company Store.
Need to make and sell and sell those shovels. Call them the "Robinson Rugged Retriever". Great Video Kevin.
I would buy one
Great hunt Kevin, nice Merc! Hot rocks are a real pain sometimes- I have a creek I gold pan in and I can't use the metal detector because of the vast amount of hot rocks! HH

I'm waiting on my Ace 250 to be delivered.....I'm anxious...good video.....Anyone know if an ultrasonic cleaner would be worth investing in to clean up the treasure bits?
Waiting on mine to arrive too.
Sweet Little Livi helping Pappy!

Nice hunt and congrats on your finds. GL&HH......Frank
new subscribers, love the channel as I'm a 250 guy too. Harbor Freight sells a cheap pointer I used till got pro pointer carrot.
Thanks for subscribing love my 250 lot of fun i got a pro pointer I like it to works grate.
That tag w/ the number 6 on it is probably a coal miner's tag. Very cool find.
Hello Kevin very nice video.I thing that iron stone is a meteorite i am not sure but this is my opinion.Thank you.
Thank you.
Your shovel is cool. Brother get a pinpointer. You can pick them out at 3x the pace. Cheers
what settings are you using to detect - would love to get better hits on mine?
If you get your 100 hours on it you will get better hits on it you have to learn your machine thanks for the comment Cajun.
Kevin Robinson that did not help at all - I definitely have many hours on the machine but was asking what settings you use - I am sorry that was a bit much to ask but thankfully other TH-camrs shared their settings - have a great day
Really Enjoyed your video, keep up the good work
Thanks Randy.

That's my granddaughter she is adorable thank you.
Delightful.
Thanks for the comment and watching.
Try soaking the pennies in vinegar and baking soda. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.
Will do good info thanks you Doug.

Who else saw the worm at 7:44
take cup of white vinegar and add three table spoon of edible salt and mix it well and leave your coin in the solution and you will see how clean they would become
Good going Kevin, the name Szentmartony relates to a Croatian explorer and I think it is defiantly a token
Thank you.
Actually Hungarian immigrant.
i heard to soak them coins in ginger ale,i also have gotten the garret 250 and the pointer,found an old watch,,,53 dime,39 and 55 nickle
Nice thanks for the comment.
Looks like that thing is going to pay for its self in no time...Thanks Don M
I just having fun thank you.
does it have a beach setting
I don't think so Steven.
Steven Means I have two Garrett 250s. They are great for dry sand but go crazy in wet sand.
Aahhhh your daughter is so cute and wants to help clean it for you

It might be an old store coin Kevin. Great video!
Thank you.
That big ass washer!
that is the biggest washer i ever saw lol.
That is a pay coin from a coal mine. They were only able to use those at the coal mine owned store.
Thanks for the info.

make a sharp point on the shovel....it will dig easier.
Thank you for the info peabody.
@@Robinson-Homestead welcome!

That rock is called hot rocks.

Found in USA.
Probably a token for a coal mine company store.
Thanks for the info.
You should use gloves
