- Welcome back to another relic hunting, metal detecting adventure! In this week’s episode, Nichola and I revisit the virgin 1700s cellar hole in the woods from last week’s video, and I made a LIFETIME find! I dug what is without a doubt the RAREST COIN I’ve ever found metal detecting! In fact, there’s a good chance you’ve never even heard of it, or the incredible history behind this exceedingly rare coin. Not to mention, I made a bucket list find as well, straight out of the 1600s! I hope you enjoy this very special episode!

Awesome. I love it!
@@Brando_Magnifico thank you!
Fantastic coin Stef! So rare that I don’t even dare put it on my bucket list. Congratulations!
@@QuarterHoarder thanks Jason! You never know… if it’s any consolation, I still have found exactly zero cobs! 😆 I love when you guys get to hunt that spot, always a treat to watch!
That 2 Pence Rosa… an incredible find!!! Way to go Stef…. It even gs e me the chills, lol
Thanks Charley! Definitely my favorite coin of 2024 so far!
Wow this really takes me back to the 1st Rosa I found and then I woke up and realized I live in Indiana.😂
Many congrats!!
Hahaha, I love this comment! 😆 Thank you! So happy to have it.
You are my go-to for coin education. I don't have any memory of seeing anyone dig a Rosa Americana prior to now. So, congratulations for your outstanding find!
@@granddad-mv5ef thank you! I enjoyed doing a deep-dive on the history of that coin. I’ve been fortunate enough to find 9 of William Wood’s coins: 8 Wood’s Hibernias and now the Rosa! The number of his Hibernias I have is unusually high, even considering where I live. I love his coins!
For me that fabulous latten spoon sent a shiver across my spine. The last person to hold it before you was preparing their dinner more than 300 years ago. WOW.
@@antonharefield8341 it seriously blew my mind, that spoon is probably 350 years old! It was right on the edge of an old cart path - some poor person got to their destination without a spoon, and back in those days, you always had your own personal spoon.
Wow ! You know it must be an epic find when Stef gets that excited but Nic is as cool as a cucumber no matter what😆The spoon a cracking find also, keep on digging 😉🇨🇦
@@steveshepherd2712 haha, it’s true! She’s only gotten truly excited once for her first real. And thanks, I loved the spoon, too!
Holy Moly!!!
@@billbertke7778 yeaaaah I kind of amazed myself with that math… 😆 It made me fall in love with the coin even MORE!
That coin's been lying there all these years just waiting for you to come along. CONGRATULATIONS!
@@JustPlainSteve5372 thank you! I always say that we dig what we’re meant to dig! I’d have to imagine it was lost 300 (or perhaps 301) years ago. 😊
Stef I would have screamed 😱 if I found it and I wouldn't care about how goofy I looked. Congratulations to you young lady 👏
Thank you! I just stuttered and swore, as you saw! 😂
Unbelievable Coin Find!!!! That’s A Find of a Lifetime For Sure!!
@@ethankincaid5075 thanks Ethan! I’m coming for that tree coin next! 😁
I don't blame you for not cleaning that coin in the field congratulations Stef
@@mandybrown7758 thank you! I am incredibly lucky with the condition - even hot off the press, the surfaces of these coins would often bubble because that alloy wasn’t well thought-out!
@StefDigs oh I absolutely felt your excitement and the history you gave was so awesome, im telling everyone about your finds and they just don't understand lol Congrats again That spoon bowl also omg im just blown away and our absolutely right when u said "That's why we metal detect" 👊🏼💪🏽💪🏽
@@mandybrown7758 playing the footage back was hilarious, omg… 🤣 I didn’t realize I’d said “holy f***” in the field, nor did I remember the “ahhh bah bah bahhhh” stuttering. Reasons it’s fun to have a TH-cam channel! 😆
@StefDigs absolutely, I would of maybe used more weird words, I was yelling in my livingroom and i was not even there lol 😂😂but that exciting of a find bring words we create in the moment lol 😆
@@mandybrown7758 hahaha, it’s so true! I don’t think I had any comprehensible speech with I dug the Draped Bust half dime, you can’t even understand what I’m saying through the tears. 😂
I've been watching you for years and you never disappoint. Congratulations on another great hunt.🎉
@@peterrobino9383 thank you so much! Appreciate the continued support! 😄
Congrats on the great find. I know that feeling and it’s all worth the work.
@@ducttapedigger7811 always is! Well, it doesn’t feel like it always is… but when that special day comes, it was worth every skunking in between! 😊
Three hundred year beauty! Congratulations!! Fabulous…🎉
@@brightpurpleviking thank you! Considering the alloy and the age, I’m VERY pleased with the condition!
Fabulous find Stef. Congratulations
@@brandonmercurio647 thank you!
boom let's go let's go treasure and adventure ✌👵
@@grandmakellymcdonald woot woot! 🤘🏻
That's the cats meow!congratulations Stef
Thank you!
Congrats on the old 2 Pence. That's a keeper! I love sites like these when all tones can be amazing. Good luck on your hunts!
@@Treasure-Charger thank you! That is easily my favorite coin of the year so far!
Wow what an episode! Congrats on the coin we read about those in the "Colonial and Early American Coins" Encyclopedia we have, what a find for sure! We learned some thing today though, those latten spoons! I had no idea about those now I will have to dig through the spoon box and look for markings on ours, good thing we never throw away any of the spoons we dig! Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! The Rosa may be my best find of the year so far - and the spoon blew me away!
Nice music Stef! COngratulsations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers from your friends and supporters from southern Europe!
Stay positive and happy hunting!!!!!!!
@@HeavyMetalDetectingPassion thank you! Couldn’t believe it!
Congratulations on your Rosa Americana! I'd never heard of that coin so it was a lot of fun to hear about the history. I have to say that the Latten spoon was my favorite though. Something used on a regular basis by (most likely) the women of the household such a long time ago blows my mind. It really makes me wonder about their everyday lives and the types of foods they prepared and served with that spoon. What an amazing hunt - thank you for sharing with us!! ❤
Thanks for watching, as always! Definitely some great history behind the Rosa coinage. Loved the spoon too! From what I understand, most people had one spoon that was solely theirs, at least in the early colonial days. I’m sure it was sorely missed!
Wowser! Incredible finds and great to see the excitement back on your face😃😃😃😃
@@beverlykendall4579 thank you! It was a lot of fun to re-live this day and do a deep dive on that coinage!
Congratulations!!!🎉great coin find! Rare!!! Helluva Digger😁
@@christophermichaud7187 thank you! Was an amazing day!
Absolutely incredible!!! I got chill bumps when u pulled the coin
@@timetraveler8169 thank you! As you might have been able to (sort of) hear, I opted for “HOLY F***!” as my response… 🤣
Hey Stef Congrats. You most definitely deserve finding the 2 Pence Rosa Americana Coin. Excellent Find. Love the Latin Spoon. Nick Congrats on all the Buttons and Harmonica Piece. What's the Best or coolest Relic or Coin you've ever Found Nick. Love all the finds. Stef love your videos and the feed back with the finds you've recovered. Your definitely an outstanding person. Take Care Crazie Digging
Thank you so much! Really appreciate all of your kind comments - was so stoked with that coin and the spoon! I hope the site produces again in the Fall.
I believe it will Stef. Best of luck
Epic finds my friend- major Congrats! Either one by itself was historic, finding the two in one hunt- mind-boggling! Those are the kinds of finds that make this the greatest hobby there is, especially where we live, because any swing has the potential to be something like that. Until the next time, take care!
@@digginhistoryoncapecod7506 thank you! I love living where we do, TID numbers mean NOTHING at cellar holes or in colonial fields! It’s a goodie bag that goes back 400 years… can’t beat it!
Dam Stef, sweet one. 👍
@@44251 thank you!
Congrats Stef, you are on a hot streak with great finds.
@@michaelvenezia8432 thank you! Been a great year!
Nice one Stef!! Congrats but your initial reaction was classic!!!
@@samsager1 thank you! I’ve never made that sound when digging anything else, lol! Dunno where it came from. 😆
Congratulations Stef such a Great Find with such great historical significance you are on Fire you are a Legend
@@kevinscott4747 thank you so much! That site has been nothing short of incredible!
Congrats Stef on the Rosa. Really thought you were going to pass out at one point. Awesome find mate. Congrats too on the spoon. Viv and I are now in the UK and about to go out with some TH-cam friends. Good luck on the next hunt 🦘🦘😁👍
@@TheCoffeeBushKid thanks Andrew! Hope you’re having a blast at Detectival! Say hi to everybody at the Minelab tent for me! 😊
You found my dream coin!!!!!! That is fantastic!!!!
@@lauriethompson8176 thank you! It wasn’t even on my realistic bucket list, hah! I’ve always loved those coins but never thought I’d dig one.
Excellent video. Congratulations Stef on your bucket lister 👍👍 nice save my friend and the Latten spoon way cool and those buttons.
Thank you! Was a superb day! 😊
Lol, pretty sure I said you would keep blowing yourself away, but this is getting ridiculous... Haha, I'm just kidding. Very cool find and very happy for you! Happy Hunting!
@@MUDSWAT thank you! You weren’t kidding, this site is just ridiculous! I can’t wait until the overgrowth is gone! 😁
WOW WOW WOW!!! Thanks so much for sharing.

Congratulations on the Rosa Americana! Outstanding find! That spoon is killer, too! I have one like it, now I need to look for the mark on the inside of the bowl. See you in a couple of weeks at the dig. Cheers from Bridgeport!
Thanks Mark! Seeya soon! 😊

Excellent finds. Congrats! I really appreciate you sharing the history of the items you find.

Wow super dooper congratulations on the Coin great finds. 😀🎉great to watch your vid, thanks for sharing your day out🙏
@@brunfree thanks for watching! Glad I could share it with everybody!
Hi Stef!!looking like fall .what a great find!!!I'm so happy for you!!!
@@johndodson4527 thank you, I’m so happy with it! That was filmed in April, everything was just coming back to life. Imagine how overgrown that site is now, haha. The briars were unreal!
Appreciate the history lesson! Congrats on the stellar finds, Way to go
Thank you! Definitely had to dive into the history for this video!
Thanks for a great hunt and video -- my first of yours, Caught you on Quarter After and decided to check it out. Not a disappointment! Enjoyed the last minutes of Quarter After, too!
@@HistoryPackRat thank you, glad to have you here! And lol, the last few minutes mark the biggest public flub I’ve made in a LONG time! 😂
Whoa!! Congrats on the Rosa!
@@Dirty-digs thank you! I love it! 😍
Wow that coin is a winner winner chicken dinner lol. Congrats. I bet u can feel the history at that place!!! Get back there and widen search. 👍
@@Jllcountry5118 thank you! I plan to return ASAP, but right now the overgrowth is intense this time of year! 😆
what a Great find Stef i can always wish right.lol Congratulations
@@williamstewart1378 thank you!
Nice Rosa ... Great Finds ...
@@dansteffee9759 thank you!
WOW,WOW WOW, OMG, Enough said,,,,
@@dondtektor8537 haha, thank you! Wasn’t expecting it, that’s for sure!
How exciting is that, a Rosa Americana?!
@@wajobu right? And the 2 pence is just HUGE, bigger than a half dollar! Was a hell of a surprise!
It was fun to listen as you tried to find the words to express your excitement. You deserve it!
@@Laurie81560 haha, thank you! Always fun to look back on footage from the field, forgetting that I swore and stuttered. 🤣
Great finds to you both Happy Hunting
@@firemanmsb thank you!
congrats Steph
Thank you!
Totally awesome congratulations I am jealous
@@scottcurrie7589 thank you! Imagine the sweat dripping down my forehead removing the dirt from that at home… 🤣 Phew!
Just awesome!!!
@@mickeycecil3070 thank you!
Well I fall into that 90% of "it's a what?" Great finds Stef! love the last flowery open center button too.
Thank you! Haha, yeah, I didn’t think many people would recognize it - it’s just that rare! 😁
@@StefDigs I gotta get somewhere new soon.
@@jaydigshistory36 same, it’s been pretty slow lately - this hunt took place in April, I got backed up on footage after I took some time off.
@@StefDigs totally understood. My problem is everywhere right now is overgrown green.
@@jaydigshistory36 basically the same here, too! That, or the cellars I’ve found recently are not only overgrown, but pounded. This site will produce again once I can actually bushwhack my way in there. Full of briars!
Incredible finds, congratulations! Such amazing examples of colonial history!..👍😎
@@nepahistoryandarchaeologys8623 thank you! That site needs a revisit ASAP! If only the briars weren’t so bad this time of year, hah!
Congratulations!!🎉 great finds😊
@@mysticmimaw thank you!
Nice finds and a great site you found there! I've only dug one Rosa in all my years beeping, and that was the one pence. Congrats! I would say, check all of your older American early coppers (Draped Busts, Liberty Caps, etc.) From my personal experience, some of those can be even more rare than the 2 pence depending on the mint type.
Thank you! A one pence is something to get excited about, for sure! I checked my other coins - the other rarest is probably the VT, but I can’t recall the variety off hand. I have an 1800 Draped Bust half dime, an LM-1 variety die break. It’s not the “LIBEKTY” version, so that narrows mine down to 24,000 if I remember correctly. The two Fugios I’ve got are 2 of 400,000-ish, and my 1785 Nova Constellatio is a URS-11. As for this Rosa, I believe it’s the variety with the 1722 bust, which actually matches the rarity of the Nova I found (Crosby 3-B, URS 11). However, I do see more Nova’s dug than Rosa’s by a long shot. I read that many of the coins never even made it to the US as most are found in British collections, so that probably contributes to the rarity of them being found in the US.
Such an amazing hunt 👊🏼✌️
@@mandybrown7758 thank you! I couldn’t have been much more spoiled! 😆
Incredible find !!!
Thank you!
Amazing finds Stef
Thank you!
Great episode!!!
@@KidDig thank you!
Wow congratulations

Awesome hunt Stef🎉

Nice finds. I saw you on Quarter Hoarder live show. New subscriber.
@@occamsrazor7939 awesome! Thanks for subscribing! 😊
I love the fact you share history, it makes it so much better! Congrats on those finds, I wish I would have been there to see you dig that coin. That would have been a fun video, lol!
Thank you! I’m not sure how I would feel if I was on the other end and watching somebody dig that… probably a little sick! 😂
Sweet. Thanks
@@maxfox8496 thanks for watching!
Congratulations ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@teresathetreasurehunter thanks Teresa! Was such an incredible feeling! 😊
Amazing finds! I have been wanting to start metal detecting but I haven’t been able. I am a single mom with 3 kids and it just seems like I never find the time. I did buy a cheap metal detector on amazon that I haven’t tried out yet. And I still have to get a shovel and some of the other stuff to hold my finds and I just haven’t had the extra money to buy those things. So hopefully soon I will be able to try and find stuff.
@@amcollins81 fingers crossed for you! It certainly isn’t an inexpensive hobby, no doubt about it. Tough when you’re trying to find time with 3 kids that you’re raising all by yourself, too! I hope you do find the time and resources to get out and detect!
great finds,..
Thank you!
Awesome coin. Congratulations
@@chunk144 thank you!
@@StefDigs your welcome
Killer finds and awesome information!
@@TheFinderGuy thanks Patrick! Was fun to do a deep dive on this!
@@StefDigs I can definitely see your excitement. Makes me wanna do some deep diving on some things I’ve found!
@@TheFinderGuy you should! It’s very rewarding!
Huge congrats!
@@Buckleboy thanks, my friend! I’m so glad I took it slow removing the dirt from the obverse (didn’t really touch the reverse). Can you imagine how much I was dreading it, knowing the composition of that alloy? 😆
@@StefDigs ohh for sure!!! Yeah that alloy is just asking for detail to be lost! Your coin looks stunning and I’d be thrilled with it exactly as it is. Wow what a find
@@Buckleboy thanks again! Very pleased with the details! It’s one of those coins I’m glad someone brand new to the hobby didn’t find, rude as it might sound, lol. Could’ve easily been destroyed.
@@StefDigs I’ve definitely had that feeling about some of my finds and it’s not rude in the least!
@@Buckleboy phew, good, glad I’m not the only one! 😂
holy sheep sh&%!!!! NICE FIND!!! Both of them!!
@@505adventures5 thank you! Was a truly epic day!
WOW! congrats Stef! So when should i come down... lol
Haha, open invitation, always! 😄 Are you coming to DFA with Jason in a couple of weeks? Would be great to see you!
@@StefDigs i think i am, but probably just one day
@@RichVanWinkle37 the event organizer posted that it was just Saturday, so there you go! 😆 Woohoo!!!
@@StefDigs great! I will see you there :))))
@@RichVanWinkle37 woohoo! Talked to Jason earlier today, I’m your show guest on the 12th… be prepared! 😂
