Hi from England - Did they hold the County Fair on that land? When I was young my sister and I would wait for the Fair to leave and go round the grounds picking up the change left all over the place. I am now 74. Fun memory.
The music at the beginning is your style. I love your old videos you used to make, with all your interesting videos that were different from the other metal detecting youtubers. I miss your old videos...
The token you dug up about 13 minutes in the video is a game token from an arcade. I still have some of those tokens, i got them from an arcade called Aladdin's castle. They were popular in the 80's and were usually found in malls. I know the malls in Virginia and Maryland had the arcades but not sure if they were in malls in other areas. Awesome find! I didnt see that you researched it until after i posted lol!
A little late, but I have to say this is one of the most exciting videos you have made. Great pull from that old park, especially when you have a span of a few days. Your comment at 12:02 about keeping up with minimum wage is priceless!
Don’t quit on us, J.D.! ( Remember you asked a little ways back!). You’re an interesting person with something interesting to learn. Hope you get all your good thoughts back to you, tenfold, or such!
OH! I found that exact ring one time, but without the stone. It felt like aluminum. That is cool. Really appreciate the way you cleaned up the interesting stuff and even showed what a new one would look like, thanks!
Used to spend my days in Aladdin's castle back in the early early 1980's possibly 1980. Located in Barton Creek Mall, Austin, TX. Thanks for the memories. I was 11 in 1980
Quit rubbing your coins and just wait till you can wash them. My friend carrys a gallon of water, dawn soap, and a dishpan to get them soaking on site. It makes the clean up later on easier/ The constant rubbing is not a great way to preserve anything.
This is crazy! I can’t believe how many coins you found. It’s interesting to note the dates. They seem to be around the same period. It makes me wonder if the demographics of the neighborhood changed shortly after the period of the coinage.
With out a doubt the best video I have watched .I really enjoyed every single moment of those Hunt's ,and learned so much as well. And your video content was top notch. Thank you J D. Excellent.😁😁😉
I just got a metal detector and a comment I read somewhere reminded me of where a fair would come every year when I was a kid. Last time I was near there the lot was still empty. I hope it has not been searched. It would be nice to collect change from around 1970 and earlier as silver was still in change then. Nice video, thank you.

hey JD, that's what mding dreams r made of !!!!!!!!!!!!!! your video was just right u need 2 put a dream hunt on video like that WELL DONE! that don't happen every day GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!
Hey JD. Awesome video! That round Shure object you found looks to be an air pressure adjustment valve cap, from a Shure Automotive paint gun. Keep up the awesome work!
Hey great videos as usual. Your token is from an arcade called Aladdin's Castle that used to be in a lot of the malls around the country. I'm in Greenville, SC and I remember playing games and using those tokens at Haywood Mall in Greenville. HH
+57fitter It's because it's a poor mans double die and it affected many areas of the coin. It's not thin. Some of the pennies were really screwed up that year. Have you seen pics of the actual 1955 double die wheats? If not you should google it. They're crazy and worth a lot of money. I came close. lol.
You found a microphone component part made by the SHURE microphone company (SM10A) and I don't recognize that model number. They're a premier maker of mics, headphones, wireless systems and the like. I've used their stuff for decades. (I'm a guitar player/singer and that's my kind of equipment). Sennheiser is another huge maker.
I know anyone wanting to go coin hunting on private property must ask permission of the owner first. But I was wondering...out of all the owners you've interacted with these past several years, did any of them want a percentage of anything valuable that you might find? Also, after you've received permission to dig, do you just leave the property when you're finished? Or do you show the owner what you have found? Just curious how this works as I'm hoping to start metal detecting soon. :)
. Man you find some good stuff. On the silver coins take a spray bottle with water and spray them to get the dirt off. Some of the other stuff you find you can spray them and use a toothbrush in the field. You keep up the good work. I enjoyed your video.
WHY rub the coins down? You make them of less value because you mark it up more. Just wash it off first and then use a ultra sonic bath for the items. That is what I do and I get a much higher return on the things I do sell. I have in a bank over 50 pounds of gold rings and chains and earrings. Lots of silver too, but I sell the silver off rather fast except coins. And that is just from 5 years of detecting in the summers (May - Nov). And yes I do use a shaker box as well for the gold. But I also look for old places to use the detector only. I even find gold / silver / platinum even on the street. I have people unknowingly give me valuable metals. The detector hunt is fun!
I totally believe that many coins in a school dating back to the 50s. In 1964, (1st grade) hot lunch was a quarter and milk was a dime. When you lost your money the lunch lady would pin a note to your shirt and your mom would just send more the next day. I frequently went home with a note pinned to my shirt. Sometimes I'd be sporting a lost lunch money note and a much too talkative note from the teacher. Even the pennies made sense to me. There were lots of times that my mom handed me five pennies a nickel and a quarter. Nice dig.
Really I live in a school house made in 1875 and a clam oysters made in 1814. I was exited to hunt around the older one but maybe I would find more around the school house
Cool stuff man, crazy amount of signals....I don't think I ever hunted an area that had signals like that.....congrats on clearing it out!....I'll watch the other half tomorrow!...Keep at it man..HH
Yes, you can see the slight hazing of text on the 55 DD....it's slight, but agreed it was the predecessor before the die really started to slip. Great area where you are hunting..should be a gold coin or a silver thimble in there somewhere. I think with your lucky JD you'll find a 1943 copper Lincoln or a 1913 V-Nickel.
Accuracy Marked Yeah, it's definitely a poor mans double die. Too bad it wasn't the good one. That place isn't too old, oldest coin out of there was the SLQ. Did find a couple older relics though. That silver shaker lid I found a while back was from this spot.
Nice hunts Jon! Had to skim a little but I got the jist of it. Crazy amount of clad and I saw a few silvers in there too. Great job! P.s. I hate digging clad :-)
I can only remember two locations where i was plucking coins every two feet...it's tough to get them all and a lot of exercise. You'll have to go back and recheck things. That is truly virgin soil in the metal detecting world....the 1960, 70,80 detector folks missed that spot. Hey, there were a lot of detectorist in the late 60's and 70's...people don;t realize...there were a lot of old vintage metal detecting magazines dedicated to it back then.
Accuracy Marked lol, it was more than every 2 feet here. When I started targets were so congested I just had to sit on the ground with the probe. The funny thing is, not even a minute away there's a spot that's completely pounded and always plugs at. Everyone missed this diamond in the rough. I've probably spent about 50 hours there cleaning it out over the last year. I know I got most of the silver coins, because in my last 4 hunts or so there I haven't found any silver, and I'm lucky to get a wheat now. My last gold ring video was there. Now that I found that I'm content. If someone else wants to go there and clean out another 1,000 garbage tones be my guest. HAHA. It's hard work there.
You said you started filming this a year ago, and now you uploaded the compilation video? Dang, JD, I don't know how you do it. You're like a alcoholic, but in this scenario a metaldetecolic. 1500+ coins...dang. Good bit of silver too. That's funny you haven't found a 1936 washington. My first silver ever was a '36 washington. It's been pouring here the past weeks and it's supposed to get REALLY bad tomorrow (2-4 inches of rain, flooding etc) so the grass is soaked & I haven't been out hunting. I have several locations planned out along with a 1914 high school that's partially vacant now that I don't believe has ever been hunted.
***** I didn't know for certain. But a lot of events have been held there since the 1970's and it's never been hunted. So I assumed there would be at least one gold ring there. The last gold ring video I posted was at this spot. After I found it I decided to finally release the long version which gives the location away by the scenery. So I assume some other people in my area may go hunt it now.
Wowsers! so the SM10 Shure item should belong to a microphone where the batteries go. Did you check the 69 S for doubling? Thanks for the hour + worth of entertainment.
I found out some info on that ring u found:The imprint "18k HGE" on gold essentially means that the gold is costume jewelry with little or no value. "HGE" stands for "hard gold electroplated," which means the object is not solid 18 karat gold throughout. ... What does a "925" stamp mean on gold?Now as for the HELP ME item it's a 1/4 what does the back side look like?
Hi from England - Did they hold the County Fair on that land? When I was young my sister and I would wait for the Fair to leave and go round the grounds picking up the change left all over the place. I am now 74. Fun memory.
Instablaster
Great Memories when me and my Brother were kids my Dad took us metal detector late 60”s early 70”s
I have "found" so much change in our sofa over the year it is amazing
I can never get enough of the Kennedy half dollar design, it's so good.
I have to say that your "Medieval" sounding music is really hauntingly beautiful!
The music at the beginning is your style. I love your old videos you used to make, with all your interesting videos that were different from the other metal detecting youtubers. I miss your old videos...
13:21 Aladdin's Castle Arcade token! (1975-1989)
SQUARE OFF A GRID 10 FOOT SQUARE AND DIG EVERYTHING SHALLOW FIRST...GO DEEPER AND DEEPER AS YOU GO.
The token you dug up about 13 minutes in the video is a game token from an arcade. I still have some of those tokens, i got them from an arcade called Aladdin's castle.

With you finding all the stones and coins it makes me think that there was a wishing fountain there.
Very insane coin haul. Those silvers came out pretty nice after the dirt was cleaned off.
Nicely done! I watched all 73 minutes with interest. People must have a lot of holes in their pockets.
I love those Morel Mushroom gloves!
The calender is an incredibly awesome find
Used to spend my days in Aladdin's castle back in the early early 1980's possibly 1980. Located in Barton Creek Mall, Austin, TX. Thanks for the memories. I was 11 in 1980
Wow Fun times I’m from East Texas GodBless

jon lennon that’s how you do it and this is how he does it it’s different recording your videos.
Its ok to rub modern day clad coins. But if they are silver its a no no.
Wow awesome JD! I will watch half tonight half tomorrow! Wow! A detecting movie!

The "Atwater" pieces is part of the top nameplate of a mid 1930 Atwater Kent metal box radio like a model 46.
This is crazy! I can’t believe how many coins you found.
It’s interesting to note the dates. They seem to be around the same period. It makes me wonder if the demographics of the neighborhood changed shortly after the period of the coinage.
It could have been a field where they held market fairs.
I used to hunt the ghettos 35 or more years ago. Found a lot of really old coins. 👍
With out a doubt the best video I have watched .I really enjoyed every single moment of those Hunt's ,and learned so much as well. And your video content was top notch. Thank you J D. Excellent.😁😁😉
love your music--best one detecting video I've heard---you earned those coins---keep digging--gold will happen
Outstanding! FYI just got back from a 9 hour hunt so I watched the whole thing nice to watch someone else do the work! Glad you found the gold.
Loco Burro Hope you found some treasure! Thanks for watching. :)
you should carry a can of duster to blow the dirt off if you dont want to rub
I just got a metal detector and a comment I read somewhere reminded me of where a fair would come every year when I was a kid. Last time I was near there the lot was still empty. I hope it has not been searched. It would be nice to collect change from around 1970 and earlier as silver was still in change then. Nice video, thank you.
6:34 "...piece of a Pop-Tart" What was the reading for the pop-tart? Lots of fortified iron I suppose. :)
Great information JD and very informative.👍🤓
Very enjoyable video. I already know of a couple location like this one that are in dangerous places as well.
Every time I hear a metal detector I feel like it sounds like a drunk r2d2

Congratulations on the standing liberty that's one coin that's on my bucket list have been detecting for 3 years have not been able to get one
I like your music choice for this video. It sounds like the song they used in the game Diablo 2. Anyhow.... nice hunts!
Your videos are remarkably thorough...I like them!
***** Thanks for the kind words! :-)
I feel like im watching someone stealing my grandmas lunch money
Jonathan isn't a theif. He's taking care of business. Lol
Congratulations on the standing liberty 1 coin.
Yeah J.D., bout time lol,,, Rlwilson1776@gmail.com
JD, I'm a huge fan of your videos. Keep 'em coming!
that was one amazing place... really enjoyed the video
Hi, I. Am wondering if you wear tennis shoes for runners if it would solve the foot problem.
dude, you did a fantastic job on this video. Great job!
Ahahaha! Thats a good detector if it finds pop tarts too.
Huskeybear76 And it'll be even better when they come out with one that only finds the flavor you want!
The 1959 penny was interesting, that was the first year for the Memorial if I recall correctly?
What kind of metal detector do you have and what type of camera do you use
Love your videos, Good luck and find a ring.
Have you been back here since 2015. top job
So proud for you throwing away the trash....ie caps
So are Roosevelt dimes like quarters ? Are they 90% silver 1964 and earlier ?
Yes, exactly.
Hey JD. Awesome video! That round Shure object you found looks to be an air pressure adjustment valve cap, from a Shure Automotive paint gun. Keep up the awesome work!
Wow.. I found one of those bracelets too.. it in one of my video.. that's cool.. looks like a great area.. Grats on all the great finds.. GL & HH
Amazing quantity of targets!
WOW that's a lot of coins lol I think the thing at 55:12 was one of those keyring torches with the insides missing cheers Simon
Wow, over 1,000 coins, that's some crazy numbers. Someone should give you a trophy. Bury it and make you find it ;)
Very helpful video, just found 2 of the Aladdin Castle Arcade Tokens and couldn't find what they were. Thanks
I like this video. Love the spills. Big thumbs up.
Hey great videos as usual. Your token is from an arcade called Aladdin's Castle that used to be in a lot of the malls around the country. I'm in Greenville, SC and I remember playing games and using those tokens at Haywood Mall in Greenville. HH
Nice Haul JD!
I would be digging all those targets
Your rainbow covered beetle is one of the scarab variety. Think Egyptian !
45:24 Jon, is that a weak strike on the reverse , maybe a thin planchet? Wheat heads are only half developed it seems. Your thoughts, please, Sir. 57
+57fitter It's because it's a poor mans double die and it affected many areas of the coin. It's not thin. Some of the pennies were really screwed up that year.

Thanks for uploading and editing this vid... entertaining and subbed!
Thanks Nick! I'm glad you liked it. This is one of my very old videos. So the channel quality is much better now too. Cheers. :)
@@JDsVarietyChannel I'm your biggest fan. I'd hunt anytime, anywhere with you,,, seriously
What kind of metal detector do you have?
. Man you find some good stuff. On the silver coins take a spray bottle with water and spray them to get the dirt off. Some of the other stuff you find you can spray them and use a toothbrush in the field. You keep up the good work. I enjoyed your video.
Wow! Crazy that you found a park that hadn't been previously dug.
I think it was a 40s or 50s school 😊
WHY rub the coins down? You make them of less value because you mark it up more. Just wash it off first and then use a ultra sonic bath for the items.

surfnfx I
surfnfx 50 pounds of gold? Lol
surfnfx you have 900K worth of gold just chilln?
i don't think he sells them, that is why all the rubbing
What do you do with the modern coins keep them or spend them?
I totally believe that many coins in a school dating back to the 50s. In 1964, (1st grade) hot lunch was a quarter and milk was a dime.

Our lunches were the same price! I remember it well. Born in ‘53 in Ohio, I lost many coins and a few rings I hope someone found.
what do you use to clean the coins ?
Good job of editing and each find explained. Good job. 🇦🇺😁👍🏻
Cool stuff man, crazy amount of signals....I don't think I ever hunted an area that had signals like that.....congrats on clearing it out!....I'll watch the other half tomorrow!...Keep at it man..HH
Outstanding hunts, I've watched your vids from the getto all
along. Surprised you did not find more bling?
That's a lot of digging. Amazing all the holes that had spills in them.
alwaysseekingsilver There were A LOT of coins in that field. lol
I would like to get a affordable detector. Anyone have a suggestion for a decent one?
Mine lab 440 269 dollars

What do u clean coins with
Nice hunts Jon! Had to skim a little but I got the jist of it. Crazy amount of clad and I saw a few silvers in there too. Great job!
P.s. I hate digging clad :-)
Hooked on History WHAT?! You skimmed? Unsubbed. Haha. xD Thanks. I like digging quarters and nickels, I don't like dimes and pennies. xD
Haha! I actually laughed out load when I read this. Just woke everyone. Oops....
I can only remember two locations where i was plucking coins every two feet...it's tough to get them all and a lot of exercise. You'll have to go back and recheck things. That is truly virgin soil in the metal detecting world....the 1960, 70,80 detector folks missed that spot.

How can you tell a zinc coin?
Is this an older video or did you go back to using the old e-trac that you used to use back in the old days@
For gold rings you need to metal detect a beach where the tide goes out.
Bro your so cool i am 10 and love coins and medal detecting that would be a dream!
How do explain how you almost find more than one coin in a single spot?
I really enjoy your videos. I would love to start metal detecting someday.. Keep them comin
You said you started filming this a year ago, and now you uploaded the compilation video? Dang, JD, I don't know how you do it. You're like a alcoholic, but in this scenario a metaldetecolic. 1500+ coins...dang. Good bit of silver too. That's funny you haven't found a 1936 washington. My first silver ever was a '36 washington. It's been pouring here the past weeks and it's supposed to get REALLY bad tomorrow (2-4 inches of rain, flooding etc) so the grass is soaked & I haven't been out hunting. I have several locations planned out along with a 1914 high school that's partially vacant now that I don't believe has ever been hunted.
You found that piece with Brandon FL on it,are you in Brandon?
Great coin hunt a watched the hole video I've always wanted to go out and do this myself
Killer location bubba, it would take you a week to do the round up lol TFS Friend!!
MrSaddie123
How do you know there's a hold ring there?
***** I didn't know for certain. But a lot of events have been held there since the 1970's and it's never been hunted. So I assumed there would be at least one gold ring there. The last gold ring video I posted was at this spot. After I found it I decided to finally release the long version which gives the location away by the scenery. So I assume some other people in my area may go hunt it now.
Good work! thanks for sharing and making the video!
what camera do you use to do your video?
Bruce Y Listed in description.
Wowsers! so the SM10 Shure item should belong to a microphone where the batteries go. Did you check the 69 S for doubling? Thanks for the hour + worth of entertainment.
What detector are you using?
Military supply stores sometimes sell obsolete dental tools. Could be handy.
thanks ,,that was great,,,hope you have as much luck in the future ,,all the best,,,LB
what beaches are best in Jacksonville, fl
I found out some info on that ring u found:The imprint "18k HGE" on gold essentially means that the gold is costume jewelry with little or no value. "HGE" stands for "hard gold electroplated," which means the object is not solid 18 karat gold throughout. ... What does a "925" stamp mean on gold?Now as for the HELP ME item it's a 1/4 what does the back side look like?
