    Yessir Mr Donnie I prefer finding history myself. It tells a story. Be careful in the woods during hunting season. Sometimes inexperienced hunters are in the woods, will shoot at anything that moves. Heard many stories people shooting at something behind bushes thinking it was a deer. Hunters especially young hunters identify your target before pulling the trigger. Once the bullet leaves the barrel it's to late to change your mind. Enjoyed the video.Be careful, and God bless.

    I see you swing a Minelab I have Garrett AT pros and a Max. But I see your pinpointer is the carrot. Love to get out in the woods and see what the ground has hidden. And look for mushrooms while I'm at it. Why not I'm looking down anyhow. Got some nice old lead and that cow bell clapper was great! Those Westerns came from the same gun that's a nice find. Like how you explained the lead shot and the sprue marks. Thanks for the video.

    Our soil has so much iron content it's hard to metal detect. There is also so much trash it's impossible to find much of interest. I find mostly rusty old cans and nails. You inspired me to pick up some brass I find on walks and I'm having fun looking them up. Fun video to watch! Thanks Donnie!

    I love watching your Metal detecting videos. I live in the Morristown, NJ area and bf Washington and his troops crossed the Delaware. They were camped out all over the area. A few years ago some Boy Scouts had an area sectioned off where they dug and hunted for several months . They found some things, like buckles etc.

    Donnie I knew a man who loved to deer hunt, he told me that one morning before first light he looked down a Slope and behind a big fallen oak stood the biggest buck he ever saw with a huge rack . He clicked off the safety and started to squeeze a shot , but hesitated and didn’t want to miss such a trophy buck. He let get a little more day light and took aim and then saw a tinch of Orange . Then saw it was another hunter that stood up . My friend was so shaken at almost killing this man that he went home and never deer hunted again . Now that is the gospel truth that he told it that way .
