Plenty of coins again - but only one silver which was a bit of a bummer. I have already done most of this site very thoroughly with my Etrac but still managed to find a few older coins.
There will still be plenty left to find as there are still acres of land to go at.
The detecting videos show the best bits of my life. The work parts get in the way of what I'd rather be doing so I am altering my work and where I get income from to allow me more time. Problem is, building that up in addition to working full time is very tiring, hence the lack of videos lately, lol.
In 2-3 months there will be a nation of videos coming as my plans are coming together quite well.
Thanks for watching and appreciating the videos.
The US viewers prefer to hear the sounds in the videos so I will have some sound as well as saying what the reading is next time no worries.
Thanks for watching.
Its been ages since I have found a pocket spill or decent silver so thats maybe a sign I either need new land or need to get out more.
Thanks for watching.
The series of videos to watch is 'Worldwide Metal Detecting Finds'. I'm uploading part 5 in the next couple of days. If you're interested in what is being found around the world that series should provide some good viewing for you.
Thanks for watching and appreciating.
I'll have to get back up here as I'm sure there are still plenty of coins about.
Thanks for watching.
I expected a coin holocaust when I was out yesterday but ended up finding loads of musket balls on a new site instead - very strange day. Will be uploading that one soon.
Thanks for watching.
When I go to a local park I have started digging all decent signals to try and find a ring or two. So far only ringpulls and modern coins.
Thanks for watching.
I have never failed to find a coin, wherever I go - even in the middle of nowhere, every field has a coin.
Thanks for watching.
I rarely hunt parks and live miles from the beach so I| don't keep a running total of how much spendable money I find - probably around £40-£50?
Nearly all of the coin finds are pre-decimal pennies and half pennies with a scattering of silvers thrown in.
I'd always go for the Garrett propointer.
Thanks for watching and appreciate the videos.
Finding anything is cool but pulling the occasional bit of silver up always brightens the day up.
Thanks for watching and appreciating the videos.
As far as I know all the predecimal stuff from Victoria to Elizabeth II was legal tender. Detecting finds (pocket spills) often have a mixture of early Elizabeth II, George V and worn Victorian coins so that would seem to be the case.
Thanks for watching.
The guy who runs it lives very near to me and invited me up which was awesome. Best of luck with your future hunts and thanks for watching.
If you watch 'Metal Detecting Day and Night' (one of my latest videos) I clean up an very corroded silver coin on that one. I normally just use baking soda and water but sometimes spit and tin (aluminum) foil if it is really black.
This one just needed baking soda.
THanks for watching and appreciating.
lol
There have been loads since this one - check out the playlist on the right side of this page for all my detecting videos.
Hello Richard, I’m watching some of your old detecting videos and can’t believe this video is 11 years old and my comment is 10 years old. Time goes by so fast. I would love to see some new metal detecting videos from you. I learned so much back in the day from watching your fantastic videos. And I’ve found thousands of things since so I thank you. Take care. GL&HH for old times sake.. p.s was watching one of your worldwide finds videos that I featured in. Ged (peacehavens) was also in the video and i recently found out that he has since sadly passed away. Ged was another original detectorist here on TH-cam. He will be sadly missed.
(my other channel) Nooooo...that is really sad to hear that Ged has gone as he seemed like a really nice guy.
In a time or rampantly fake TH-cam 'detecting' videos we surely need good characters like Ged but they're few and far between now - I only communicated with him a few times over the years but he came across as a genuinely nice guy.
I still go out from time to time but as you know it takes an age to find enough to make a decent video.
I'm glad you're still detecting and finding interesting stuff - best of luck when you're out.
As far as I remember 'Good Luck and Happy Hunting' was the phrase of the day when I was making videos so I'll leave you with that.
the only gold I have found was a huge ring - I gave it back to the lady who lost it 12 years previously. Thats in my 'Metal detecting videos' playlist.
Thanks for watching.
Best of luck if you do start detecting. Its a great hobby.
Thanks for watching and appreciating.
Lovely surroundings, lovely weather and which appears a very busy day with all those coins found!
Perfect!
I'm going the other way, from detecting to bottle digging but the two are so similar I can see why most people get involved in both.
Best of luck with your hunts, man. I'll get into the Emmerson / Armstrong bottles one day when I least expect it I hope.
Thanks for watching and appreciating.
Sounds like a good plan, man.
Thanks for watching and appreciating the videos.
No worries. Thanks for watching and appreciating.
I don't mind people trolling my videos, man. They are better doing that than going out of the house and hassling people in the real world.
It was just good to get out after a long period of no detecting. Thanks for watching and appreciating, man.
That sounds like a fair idea of what that thing could be. I didn't give it much thought at the time but its a good explaination.
Thanks for watching and appreciating.
It depends how deep they are much of the time and soil composition may also change readings of targets. An old penny can read from 12-38 to 12-46 but often bounces down to the mid 20's on ferrous if very deep. I suppose different countries will use different alloys to create their coins. Modern 2p can read up to 12-48 but they are made of muck and can be picked up with a magnet - usually come up looking worse than a coin buried for 100 years - lol.
Thanks for watching, man.
I never cease to be amazed at some of the comments people come up with. Like yours. Amazing.
No worries, man. Thanks for watching and appreciating the videos.
I have had a few NFS buttons from this site and have been back there recently. No buttons that time and only one piece of silver again - within the first 5 minutes of the hunt. Video coming soon.
HH
Its awesome getting these as its like an extra thrill when you crack one open. Sometimes they surprise you by throwing up the odd silver coin which is very cool.
Wow I didn't think that hole was going to stop giving up the past there for a moment!
Thanks for sharing...very good video.
When I was young I used an old C-scope but when I got back into it a couple of years ago I got a Garrett Ace 150 and found a few things but then jumped straight to an etrac once I realised I could potentially make some good finds in my local area and wanted to go deeper with better discrimination. My mate uses a Garrett Euroace and it is an excellent detector. I would recommend that as a starter detector as it will last for years and still finds plenty of good stuff.
Thats the general though on that item, yes.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching and appreciating the videos.
Very nice. Abundance of coins and nice silver. Must be a thrill to hunt a spot so old. Great video. - Brett
beautiful green color on the two stuck together pennies in with that coin spill nice silver & fire button too:) great hunt and finds :)
glad we found you! My children loved your igloo video and this one as well.
You will probably like one of my recent ones about sourcing the best fire lighting materials too and I will be uploading another woodland exploring video this weekend which is random but has lots of cool stuff in.
Glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for watching.
No worries, thanks for watching.
I haven't found glod with mine yet but plenty of Americans seem to have success in their videos. i'm assuming that I just haven't passed over any yet...
Thanks for watching, man.
I should be getting to a couple of sites this week as I have a bit of time off mid week so more vids should follow.
wonderful, amazing ring and very nice of you to bring it back :)
I've done a review of it in my metal detecting playlist. I don't leave home without it as it makes target recovery so much quicker.
They were just wet as I gave them a quick rinse to remove the soil. If I had soaked them in olive oil for a month or so it would give a similar effect and is the best way I've found to clean and preserve old copper coins. I've got a couple of coins soaking now - maybe I should do a video of them when they me out as sometimes even fine detail can be revealed.
I am saving the site in some of my previous videos as I know I have only done 2/3 of that field for the deeptech review video. Found a 1881 sixpence out the front of my place yesterday but very little else - there can't be much left out there now.
Thanks for putting the videos on. It's fun to see what other people are finding especially in other countries. Here in the USA things aren't as old as over there! Especially here in the west. I am trying to learn all I can since I am a "newbie" and just starting out. Thanks for all the info...
Yeah, I'm sure the British Museum would be fighting for a hoard of manky copper coins - lol.
Thanks for watching, man.
What an interesting hobby.....there's not a whole lot of detecting in Ireland at least in daylight at any rate as It's rumored that some detector users go out at night. Not a lot of stuff gets handed over to the museums either and this is mainly because of what happened to a MR Weston in the early eighties. He found a priceless gold chalice and other treasures on land where he had permission to use his detector. He handed his fine in to the national museum and after being treated very rudely by it's inhabitants, he was eventually offered a very small amount of money. A court case followed which lasted several years and almost broke Mr Weston financially and health wise. This undoubtedly frightened most off of handing valuable finds in to museums. A few years ago in this area a woman was putting turf or peat on her fire when she spotted a shiny object. It turned out to be a large gold brooch thought to be around twelve hundred years old and this had lain in the bog all that time. She handed it in and I hole she was fairly rewarded.
+Tim mcCaffrey As far as I know detecting is banned in Ireland so that is probably why everyone goes out at night, lol.
We get problems over here with people going out at night too but I suppose it is no different to having people poaching deer, pheasants or fish.
There will always people willing to risk getting shot by poaching.
Generally I just talk to people and either pop the question or get asked to go on sites. Should be going to a nice one tomorrow which I was invited to so a video will follow (If I find anything)
As far as I know all of them will come apart quite easily. The one I use has a quick release lever on a couple of places on the stem which enables it to break down in a few seconds.
No worries. I should get the chance to make more vids next week - weather permitting....
The costs will depend on which country you are buying from so I'll do an equipment list and then you can do a Google search for sellers of each item to get prices in your country:
Minelab etrac detector
18 x 15 SEF coil
Garrett Propointer
For an entry level (but very good) detector the Garrett Euro Ace costs £279 online. As with anything there are fanboys who will cuss up other detectors but I've found the euroace very impressive. I use a Minelab etrac and wouldn't swap it for anything else as I hunt deep pasture. I got mine from Joan Allen in the UK.
Anywhere you can get permission really. Then research the history, ask the landowner for pointers and if anyone else had found anything previously then look for sites where houses may have been, footpaths, likely picnic sites etc. - see my detecting video 'research' in the playlist on my channel.
Some fields are like that but once they are well detected you sure miss the excitement of multiple finds.
Unless its silver it generally isn't anything to get excited about as the coppers don't come up in pristine condition. Some of the older ones (17th and 18th century) can be worth a bit if they are good. As silver doesn't degrade the coins tend to be worth much more and before 1920 they were sterling silver (92.5%). Many of the old coins in the US will be worth more in poorer condition as there aren't as many about as we have in UK.
Yes, under the 'treasure act' anything which is of significance and/or silver / gold over 300yrs old is likely to be classed as treasure and is to be handed to a finds officer. It is then put to museums and if they want it you get a reward, if not you get it back. Sounds very similar to your laws.
You're the second person this week to think I am Welsh, lol
I live in North East England about 10 miles West of Newcastle and just go in the local fields. If you know any landowners ask them for permission or join a club as they often have some great land to go on. There's always the beach too.
Luckily a ban will never be imposed in the UK as there are so many archaeologists who would be out of a job without the detectorists identifying the sites for them.
lol
Yes, of course I do. You can't tell I've been there.
Even on ploughed land or seeded fields I make sure you can't see where I've been digging holes.
Awesome video and hunt ! Congrats on all your finds and good luck on your next hunt !
Those coins are huge! We had the 'large cents' here that really make my Explorer sound off. Thanks for the vid!
Even though it has been around since the late 1700's, this site hasn't thrown up and coins older than Victorian which is a bummer but there are of early 1900's coins as compensation.
Nice finds guy! I'm a bit surprised those large coppers only come in as 12-41. Our U.S. large cents (early to mid 1800s) ring up 12-47 (the same as our modern clad quarters) nearly every time. HH, Dave.
Yeah, I have some great sites but little time to fully explore them.
I've found my fair share of junk lately - hence not many detecting videos from me in the last couple of months.
Hopefully the finds will pick up as I get more time to go detecting toward the end of the year and the crops get cut down / fields ploughed.
HH
The last coin shooting video I did, I found 8 coins in one hole - one of which was silver so that was cool. It was like a mini 'hoard' - lol.
I really should do more ploughed fields but nothing much went on in my local area.
The cartwheel penny of George III is a true monster. I haven't videoed any of these coming up but I have found a few.
The guy who runs the show up there knew I went detecting and suggested I had a look about in the grounds then I went up and gave it a good hammering with the etrac. Strange place as some areas had large concentrations of coins and other areas have nothing at all.
I would probably go second hand for that budget as new machines won't offer many features or depth for $200. As for what is available in the US I have no idea. Over here I would go for a Garrett Euroace 350 as a starter machine as it will be a long time before you feel the need to upgrade. Not sure you'd get a used one for $200 but my mate has one and I have been very impressed with it. Much better than Ace 150 or 250.
The larger and shallower silver coins read higher but alot of English silver coins are quite thin so read lower. The soil does tend to harden around older copper coins and form the 'coin ball' in most pasture land which hasn't ever been turned over.
Silver coin production ended over here in 1947 as we gave you pesky Americans all our silver to pay toward our war debt - lol.
The etrac loves silver - shallow coins are very easily detected but smaller deeper coins need listening for.
No worries will do and hope to get out again this weekend.
I made a video of it. It is in the 'Metal detecting videos' playlist. Its called 'Gold ring lost for 12 years - returned to owner'
Hey, i went detecting at a park near my house a few years back, and my detector picked up iron... my friend said to leave it because he said irons not worth much...well i didnt listen and dug up an iron necklace with a platinum ring on it! The ring was pretty small and i took it to a jewelry shop because i wanted to be sure. They offered me around $700 but i decided to keep it.
I go through lean spells too. Today was only a short hunt but was saved by a 1881 sixpence and a couple of musketballs.
It will come good, no worries.
Your videos are an inspiration to dust down my old detector & get out again been a long time since I was out don't know where ta gann now spending to much time digging bottle I suppose.
Thats is exactly what I was Thinking. Thanks for the answer!! Much appreciated!! Tom
I would skip all the cheapo detectors as they are a waste of time and money. For enjoyment and good results I would personally go for a Garrett Euroace as it had good discrimination, great depth and very accurate pinpointing. A great machine for the money.
The wand thingy is a Garrett propointer which helps to rapidly locate targets in soil.
I really don't have much idea at all. I went from a Garrett ace 150 to an etrac so missed out a huge chunk of affordable detectors. My mate had got a Garrett euroace which gets down to impressive depths and he has found deep coins with it - not sure of cost though.
thank you...you make this look so easy.... lol I never heard of coins making balls around them. I will look for that. I love to see all the old coins from England. We don't have all the half pennies over here in the States. I think i need a probe..
PG,
Great haul of coins mate. good luck on the silvers on the next trip.
It's all in the perspective I guess...If I dug the pull tabs and bottle caps I'd be digging probably 100 for every coin found so I discriminate them out.I pretty much never find a site that isn't completely littered with trash. I'm wondering if I shouldn't just dig everything sometime and see what happens.
Good finds Pondguru! Thanks for the vid!
There are loads of tips videos in my metal detecting playlist on my channel, no worries.
Its only a few miles from my home. I was lucky enough to be invited up and I've been up quite a few times. Strangely found very few silver coins but hundred or more copper coins. No gold.
Yeah, it is great to bash coins now and again. I'm hoping that a new detector will drag a few more coins from these sites as some areas of them are very contaminated with iron. I should have an XP Deus arriving soon so I'm very interested to try that on the coin shooting sites as I've found almost no jewelry with the etrac and it has to be there somewhere.
Must have been great when you were pulling up silvers as that really makes a hunt worthwile.
Groovy.
HH and thanks for subscribing, man.
Queen Anne, George I, George II, and George III. These coins would be fairly deep and you would need a detector that has a strong ability to go beyond 6 inches, up to two feet down, in fact.
I always get permission to hunt wherever I go as I don't want any hassle when I'm out. I always phone to tell them I'm coming up too unless its around my house.
Some farmers can be strange but the ones I know are fine. Finding out who owns land is the hardest part.
I have only failed to find a coin once or twice on very short hunts but have always found something of interest like an old button or musketball.
Cool video , interesting to see finds from over seas . foreign coins are found quite a bit here in the states . I'm told it is because of the lack of currency during the colonial days and even later. A guy in our club found a REALE forget the date. It's always a blast to be the first to detect a site loaded with coins . One time I found a not so old home site and where the basketball hoop used to be I found over 25 silver coins from the early 30's to early 60's. Subscribed
The silver goes in my collection.
The coppers just live in the bag of shame unless they are very old or in excellent condition which is rare.
That is a tragic law considering the amount of buried history in Poland. I would be tempted to still go out on a night though.
It will vary from country to country so best search from Norway but over here they are around £1200 for an etrac.
The old pennies nearly blow out my ear drums if they are shallow - it would take a fool to ignore that signal.
I already have. I think its called "Etrac coin shooting - coins, coins, coins". If not, its one of the other coin shooting videos on my detecting playlist.
Coppers dug out of the ground are seldom worth much if anything unless they are in very good condition and older than victorian. Silvers will nearly always be worth more than copers unless the coppers are of a rare date, very old or in excellent condition.
I do keep the occasional old copper coin but not very often.
Seeing as I regularly smash the metal ones with deep digs I can't see plastic spades faring much better.
Regarding your handle: I had a WWII era shaving kit, and the handle looked quite similar. If that's what it is, the top of the handle should have a threaded hole where the head holding the blade would screw in. It fit neatly into a small brass case. I hope that helps.
Yes that is what it was. I've found a few since on a different site and it was indeed occupied during WWII - thanks for that, man.
May well be. Another suggestion was curtain rail holder which I can see too.
A downloadable beach permit is required in the UK but inland the permission of the landowner is enough.
Get a finds box to keep your treasure in, you can spend the modern and scrap the junk good luck!!
thats an awsome coin spill! and some of them are pretty old nice find!
That's the opposite of England.
You can wander into any field and find a coin or musket ball etc. I'm not exaggerating either as every field I have detected in I've found a coin for miles around my house.
that would be a good and interesting bonus for lot of people,thanks for the quick reply.
I think I'll go back up there soon as I could do with some coin bashing. Most of the land I have is fairly well done now.
HH
