This is one of the very best detecting videos on all of TH-cam. 65 dollars in gold and a handful of halves is the stuff dreams are made of!
Dude this was more exciting than anything i've ever seen lol amazing finds ! Those $20 pieces are selling on Ebay for $2-4k each !
Thanks bXd for stopping by and posting a comment! Yes that is a very exciting find and was great to be there live!! Those 3 $20's will never see ebay!! LOL
What did you used to research this area? What did you type in to google? It’s amazing!
Beautiful finds, it’s what we ALL DREAM ABOUT
Enrique, Thanks for stopping by and for posting a comment. Yes it was a DREAM FIND for sure!!
Simply amazing. I think I watched this video 5 times already today. Congrats gentlemen. Well done.
Lol! It’s amazing!
OMG!! I was shaking just watching this, Congratulations guys!!!
Thanks Adam, That is the reaction we all had too!!
That is the best metal detecting video we have ever seen! Awesome job on finding a great site! You guys showed great respect and did not hog in on his area too! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the nice comments!
Outstanding!
I about jumped out of my seat at the second $20 gold coin popping out.....amazing. Congrats! If only we had any interesting sites like that in Ohio....
layne anderson Do some research.. You're loaded with potential find sites.. Anywhere along the Ohio River could have been a camp site for instance.. Look for a copy of this: "William Dollarhide's Map Guide to American Migration Routes, 1735-1815" or other western migration maps / information as good starting points..
Hey thanks. Of course I'm in north east ohio and the River is down south, but I'll check that out.
I love ya'lls videos and if it weren't for the bad language I'd share them with my kids. Great finds.
Yeah, we get a bit excited. Sorry but that is just what comes out!! Just turn off the volume or tell them "You can hear the words but you can never say them!!" LOL
LOL, totally understood. Ya'll produce the best detecting videos on the internet. Look forward to every one.
OMG brother what an amazing Hoard
Thx Brain-- yep what a night!!
NICE !!! ! ! ! !!!!!
awsome awsome find go a little west of there over the ridge......iam claiming half for my advise ... as you go to the left it's about 25 ft down .
We are heading there now!! Directly left or slightly left!! And the first ridge or the 2nd ridge by the huge oak tree?
+CA Relic Adventures w/ Ron Swenson & Mark Dayton no pines
Congrats, gents, great finds. But I’ve noticed a problem maybe you can help me with. I’ve spent the last 2 days watching “detecting” videos, and one thing I find very distracting is when you wand over an area, you obviously get an audio feedback via headphones. But for us watching at home, it seems like there is nothing there. Suddenly you guys are digging like a beagle after a gopher. But I never heard anything, so what are you looking for?
My question is: is there a way to insert (picture-in-picture) a meter graphic to show what kind of audio response you got via headphones, to give us a clue as to what got you so excited? A digital or dial meter would be a big help in me being able to understand , how the detectors work, and how you use them. I am a complete neophyte and do not have a detector (don’t even know anyone that does) and have no experience, so I try to learn how things work. Thanks for your help, and keep digging!
Hey Thom, Thanks for watching and taking the time to post a comment. We always wear headphones so that is why you do not hear anything. Occasionally we will unplug them and you will hear the machine making a tone. Our videos are more entertainment value vs educational value so I do not have the equipment set up to video both the screen, audio and the dig and then overlay all that info in the video. I suppose it could be done but really not the intent of our videos. We just try to capture a few cool digs and act like a couple goof balls when we find something really cool.
There is a lot of info out there on how metal detectors work and the different ID capabilities they have. But for us we do not get that in depth. We just hear a beep and dig like a beagle after a gopher!! LOL
Thanks again for stopping by.
Holly SH%T !!! This has got to be the best metal detecting video I have ever seen! In fact it definitely is. I was so excited watching this at the edge of my seat! Congrats Andrew and Mark !!!!! An EPIC find! I am so excited just thinking of all the treasures still out there just waiting to be discovered. i can't wait for my season to start back up. Great job and Awesome video. GL+HH TTYL your pal The Junkjunkie
What state are you finding these coynes
Never mind I did not see ware at first can you tech me ab out the recersh and whet and ware I me find the rechers i meen ware do you look up this stough is there a state recent record sight or what thanks and good luck I'm imprest
my god.... chills
probably someone on the run dropped their loot from a robbery or something.....awesome, look up the papers in that time frame and see if something comes up.
Thanks Earl, Yeah we did a little research on the area and nothing turned up. Thank you for the comment.
Can someone explain how a few old coins could have been placed there? I don't know your sport yet but I will ;)
The coins were lost by gold miners during the gold rush. They were not "placed" and just a random drop and lost until we happen upon them!!
Some of the relics were purposely discarded but165 years later their Junk is our Treasure!!
did you guys hunt the entire site?
Hey GLA--Thanks for stopping by!! Yeah we been there several times!! LOL
@@RonSwensonRelicAdventures did you find anything else interesting other than coins all those times like a old gun or bullets?
We found the common house site stuff like toe taps, suspender buckles, shell casings etc.
some finds, feel bad for the third wheel that found SFA.
If you feel bad then you don't understand hunting with friends. We choose to let Andrew dig the spill even though we all were hearing targets. It simply was the right thing to do. And witnessing it live is as good as digging it!! And the third wheel got a gold coin two weeks later!!
Thank for watching.
im glad it got shared
The best detecting vid I have seen! As a coin fanatic I was green with envy watching! Thanks!
Cull Silver Watch TerraGermania and you 'll go nuts! It's a guy from Germany who finds stuff from the romans and celts all the time!
TerraGermania is a channel I have watched from the start. Very good and down to earth. I enjoy watching any metal detecting videos from around the world except England. They are so arsey and competitive it makes me sick. Thats coming from someone who has been metal detecting in England for the past 40 years.
I’ve watched many videos and to see the zeal of y’all’s hunt makes the video appealing in many ways, Soon I join in the hunts from Texas. Texas NightHawk Soon seeks once again. That was an awesome hunt by any standard I Tip my hat my Garret ATPro hat of course. Beep beep dig Gents and dig with style always.
@@damijan72 ¹@
Omg! Me too!
and I was gonna post a video of the 9 Bobby pins, 5 pull tabs and three modern pennies I found at the beach....
LOL post em up!!
Jeffery Allan I would love to see the Bobby pins....🤔
Jeffery Allan do it anyways, start your own vlog. Since I'm in California, this group are the 1st in ca that I hv sub. The rest are east coast. I metal detect too. I need a better camera tho.
I like your sense of humor, Jeffery! Hold the thought that you deserve even more! Called the Law of Attraction!
Here I thought my 1901 S Barber quarter was gonna be a great vid :/
Dude that is an awesome coin!! Value wise--it trumps the whole Cache!! Double Eagles included but maybe not as fun to watch!! LOL
Dr. Tones, your 1901 S Barber Quarter was AWESOME for an Idaho find! Gold Rush Is CA Territory? 1901 S Barber Quarter in Idaho.... Rarest Video. No ? Envious, til I find A Video Worthy Dig. :)
Your videos are also awesome.
I think your video description says it all - WOW! WOW! WOW!
When the first $20 popped out I thought you guys quite understandably and simultaneously bust a nut. Anyone listening must have thought there was some Brokeback Mountain stuff going on but the video proves otherwise - awesome to get that recovery on film.
GL&HH
You guys even got my heart rate up. This was the most amazing thing to watch. Congratulations guys, this why we detect. Bringing history alive.
Thx Curt!! Appreciate the comments!
Oh my god!!!! We jumped out of our seats two or three times watching this video. Unbelievable hunt guys! Congrats to all of you. We just found your channel and subbed. Can't wait to see more videos. Best hunt on TH-cam.
HUGE CONGRATS TO BOTH OF YOU!!! Definitely finds of a lifetime.
Looks like a Wells Fargo spill. Great job boys!
That sounds very possible!
You guys make me sick! ;) WOW GREAT HUNT GUYS!
Seems to me, there should be plenty to go around out west there. JJ from Chambersburg Pa
Not sure what to say. Can't pick my jaw off the ground 😱 WOW!!
You said it. This is my first time watching these guys. What a haul.
All I can say is wow! Congrats guys, that is the hunt we all dream of and you got to live it. Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us.
Well that's me subscribed. I'm hooked. If you want a UK collaboration video, just give me a shout and we can work something out. Nice, very nice.
This is why you guys are on my list of Interesting channels on my channel page! Flippin awesome! OMG!!
When you guys pulled out the second gold coin I was like OMG!
A couple of comments - 1. CONGRATULATONS!!!
2. Thanks for not using profanity!!!!
3. I'm one of the ladies that Max knows and I got a 2 1/2 gold dollar coin on 10/28/14 along with my hunting partner Kelley Rea, so I know how you are feeling. BUT TIMES 4!
4. Love the silver too. I can't wait to see more of the coins from that area.
5. Why do you all use small digging tools?
6. Your ground looks amazing and easy to dig.
We try to to minimize the cussing but we can't always prevent it. It is pure raw reaction!! I do edit out some of the really bad ones though!!
Congrats on your Gold Coin!
The Lesche is the best digging tool in our opinion so we all use one!!
We also use APEX picks but we had a pretty good idea of what was going to pop out so we just used our hand diggers!!
WOW! How awesome. I almost had a heart attack just watching those coins come out of the ground. Congrats guys.
Watching this felt like I was there too. I had a huge grin on my face the whole time and whooped at each flash of silver and more so on the gold!
Simply amazing. Anglo Saxramento horde found! ;)
I just accidentally swallowed a lit cigarette.....cool shit boys! HUGE Congrats!
Great job, I get goose bumps each time I watch this. We spend many hours in the woods and recover some great historical finds. Maybe this will be the year for one of us to find a gold coin. I don't hear of too many being found in NH. I do know, I will find incredibly awesome stuff and share them with otheres and their finds. Good luck
Thanks for stopping by! Best of luck with your adventures. You are in an old area and I'm sure some great stuff will pop out of the ground!
Just wow!
Nice fine, bro. I'm new to metal detecting and just started. I hope I get lucky the way you guys did and find me some nice coins.
Welcome to the hobby and thanks for stopping by. Don’t get discouraged and do some research on whatever type of hunting you do. Best of luck to you !
great job! I envy you guys. This video is legendary. I'd be content with finding just one of these... maybe two... Best wishes in future hunts. It pays off when one does his homework.
Oh boy! Congratulations! I’m still waiting for my first!
I am ashamed at how incredibly jealous I am right now. Congratulations!
now that was the best spin ever right there - wow.
we have two lady hunters around here and both of them found gold coins last year - my blood pressure would shoot up very very high on one of those fine tickets.
nice going - that is hard action to fade there - for anyone ever again. good job.
see ya - good luck
How can you top that day?
Well all I can say I amazing my wife and I speculated perhaps sums one buried them and didn't come back either died etc and latter as you suggested farm works spread them around.
Another thought was perhaps a person attacked by Indians and lost there money, spread everywhere.
Either way it was a magic video and congratulations to all concerned a job well done good luck on you future hunts, I take it it was an area related to the gold rush period?.
Thankyou
Paul
I would love to find a gold sovereign here one day that would be great.
Very well done. I'm also well overdue for a gold coin too. In fact I've left a space in my box for one.
Three gold coins found 15/20 feet from Andrews Spill? Andres started it? Sounds like this is part of Andrews Spill and metal detecting ethics would have told you to stay away from Andrews area. What a shame!!!
Thanks for stopping by but your assumptions are 100% off. Everything was above board with everything 100% discussed prior to the Gold coins being found. The golds were considerably farther away than what is stated and we hunted the general area of the spill for 20 minutes with no additional signals prior to agreeing that the site was open. So NO SHAME with these finds and pretty generous to let a guest hunt these types of sites with us. (and keep everything they find)
Andrew called you over. You guys jokenly say you knocked Andrew out and hunted his area? You also state Andrew starts it and now your getting into it. Mark did the research and it's fitting that he gets a good coin. You clearly thank Andrew for finding the first gold coin and you clearly state you guys are 15-20 feet from where the spill is. You guys should have walked back to where you were called from and allowed Andrew to search his area with his metal detector. No ethics in what you guys did and any veteran metal detectorist would tell you the same. And this thing about being generous and allowing guests to metal detect and keeping whatever they find? That's your added bonus? If you invite someone to go hunt the location in which you yourself are a guest it's finders keepers. Since when do detectorists ask other detectorists to hand over there finds to them. Not doing so is generious? The only time you would hand something over is if it has been agreed upon by the detectorists and the landowner. I've been metal detecting with other people for over 30 years and yes there is a code of ethics.
John you are way off but entitled to your opinion
First off--we always call each other over. We are not trying to hide finds from each other-- we always do that so that is not uncommon.
Yes we said a lot in the excitement of the find- I didn't have a tape measure with me I was about 10-15 feet from Andrew when he found the 1st half dollar so didn't have far to walk back to. Some of those coins were within feet of my original location so I probably was entitled to dig and keep what I found but we didn't. They (Coins) were not all 2 feet from the originals they were spread out . Some were 10-15 feet from the original find. But we let him dig every target in that area. The gold coins were at least 40-50 feet from the "spill" It was rather dark when the golds popped out so distance was just an estimate when stated on the video. Just "in the moment" comments -not literal tape measure measurements.
Two coins does not make a spill/Cache so we could have just dug and kept what we were hearing. But I felt it was more important to keep the find "whole" once we started hearing all the signals in that initial area. After 15-20 minutes with no signals we all decided as a group that we could beep and dig again. So we widened the area and started hunting again. I guess you feel whoever finds the first couple targets gets the entire site?
FYI -- I left with ZERO coins
Ethics?? Andrew was fine with the situation and we discussed at what point we all get to dig again. So I would say if he gave us the green light then your ethics comments go right out the window as it does not apply. If you have permission then it is not a ethics situation.
We don't ask anyone to turn over their finds!! You are really reaching now with those last "generous" comments!! But YES we are generous to take people to sites that have these types of opportunities for great finds. The generosity is in the act of sharing these sites but you tried to tie it to the act of them keeping what they find. That is common sense and not "code of ethics".
Again, you are entitled to your "30 years of experience" opinions but they simply do not apply to this situation and without you being there you have no idea of what/where or why things happened as they did. You simply saw video clips of things being found with no additional info/details or actions to fill in the gaps.
Best of luck to you out there.
First of all when a group of veteran detectorists go metal detecting we often do call one another to check our finds; however, we NEVER metal detect someone's HOT SPOT and that is exactly what both of you did. Everything is on video and at no moment have I wavered from what is happening on this video. Your total changing the facts from 15-20 feet to 50+ feet. It was dark and I could not calculate the distance is just a manipulation of the facts. It's on video!!! I'm not making this stuff up. Just listen to what Mark says after you say "It's only fitting that he gets a good coin"....... why don't you quote what he say? Quote him!! Those three gold coins were part of that spill and we're found 10-20 feet and is part of that spill. Coin dates, condition, and the FACT that they were found 15-20 feet from where that KID found gold and silver coins dated within 20 years of those gold coins. That's literally 6 steps from where this kid is digging. And it's only fitting that he gets a good coin?...... Just because you took the KID to your location it's only fitting that he gets a good coin? I'm quoting what is said on the video....not making this up. What you should have done was tell him to search his area for more coins and walk back to your location and keep hunting....which you did not. You both totally took advantage of Andrews find. Hey it's on video!!! I'm not making this stuff up. You even said quote "Andrew started it and now we are on it" end quote. And yes I've metal detected for over 30 years in two different continents and in those 30 years I have never......tempting as it might have been....because I too have been tempted....have I ever metal detected someone's Hot Spot. So absolutely no ethics in what you two did. Hey Anthony, Paco, Juan check what I just found....and if Anthony, Paco or Juan started metal detecting my HOT SPOT....well iethics would tell you to watch or walk away.
I guess you can agree in advance that if anyone finds a certain coin you automatically get to search 10m radius around it...but these guys are pals so you don't want to be a greedy s.o.b. I mean - without the research you wouldn't' even be in the right places..
Amazing finds - it’s why we dream and dig...
Thanks for stopping by. I agree and the why I like the thrill of this hobby. just wished it happened more often!! LOL
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is the most amazing metal detecting video I've ever seen!
I WOULD DIE!!!!!!!!!!!! Huge congrats on the finds of a lifetime!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!
@Tony Two-Cent. If you liked this one, you would also love Aquachigger's silver find in a river (probably a spill at a river ford). He found over 150 coins, none of which were newer than 1838. Most were U.S. halves, but there were a number of foriegn ones as well. It took at least two trips to find them.
Great finds...What are the sale values of the mint $20 coins. Just interested. Thanks 🇦🇺👍🏻😁
Hey Michael--thanks for stopping by and for the comment/question.
Just gold value alone in $1300-1400 you may get a little bit of a upcharge for the coin but nothing here is unusually rare so I would say maybe $15-1600 with the story and video to support the find!
I'm speechless. Congratulations!
You know, you'd find one and be happy off the scale… Then…
How awesome was that? :)
Thank you-- yeah that was crazy!!
WOW! That was EPIC! Thanks for sharing guy's.
Thx for the view and the comment!
This is what we all dream about! Unreal is all I can say!
Love this!!! Thank you sharing the excitement.
Thanks Joe! That was an exciting night for sure. Fun to relive it from time to time!! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comments!!👍🏻
Can you please tell me how you research areas like this!! Not looking for your place, but how do you research these areas???
Most of our sites are located via old maps. Usually old survey maps. Other useful items are old historical books about a specific area, or old diaries that mention certain stops etc. Then the records office will hold all the owner information you will need if it is not public.
Good Luck
How do you know where in California its legal to detect?
"This video is for all of the women out their who don't think their husband needs another metal detector!"
Haha I love this comment! Thanks for stopping by and posting up a great comment!!
absolutely amazing haul of great finds well done guys
john :)
The best detecting vedio I ever seemed I like it keep going dude
Thanks AKASH!! Appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to post a comment!! We keep looking and hoping for another EPIC find like that!! !!
What an amazing hunt guys. The first $5 had me then to pull three $20 is just out of this world. You should rename the site "the field of dreams". Can't wait to see I you guys pull anything else from there.
OMG!! Oh yeah!
The gold pieces are great wish I could find something like that that'd be a day for sure winner winner big chicken dinner
Hey Troy Thanks for dropping by and taking the time to post up a comment. Yeah that was on heck of a chicken dinner night!!
How can someone give a "thumbs down" to this video?
LOL Some will simply not believe that a find like that can happen!! Or maybe they simply don't like us, or we may offend with a bad word or two. Or maybe -- simply jealous!! Thanks for watching!
+CA Relic Adventures w/ Ron Swenson & Mark Dayton Hey, if you don't find them, who will? If people are too lazy to get up off the couch to swing a detector, their los, your gain. Uh, (clears throat and asks innocently:) where's that field at again?
+CA Relic Adventures w/ Ron Swenson & Mark Dayton Oh, why such large coins? No smaller silver/gold? Any reason for that? Ever heard of the country's last train robbery south of Ashland, Oregon, near the California border? There's supposedly silver dollars (still) scattered after the robbers used too much dynamite (killing a conductor) I live 40 miles north but I remember the explosion was at the other end of the Siskiyou Summit railroad tunnel. Youse guys come up here and we'll get together. Less than 2 miles from my house (outside Gold Hill, Oregon) is the lost gold of a stage coach robbery. I have the Lost Treasure Magazine article on it. Supposidly still unfound. Bag of gold dust hidden at the bas of a Madrone tree. The old man who used to own the property is still living and right down the road from me. I'm just looking for a "partner" to hike on back (about a mile) and start swinging detectors with me. I have satellite footage to look at on my computer. I own 4 Whites. I always have at least one in the back of my truck. Get a hold of me at daviddaveinternational@gmail.com I can't be but more than 5 or 6 hours north of y'all.
Easy just click the one next to thumbs up silly sausage
if coins could talk~
Thanks and I too would love to know the real story behind that coin spill. Appreciate you taking the time to post a comment.
Craaaazy Hunt !!! :) Gratz guys !!!
Amazing finds! That was a hunt everyone dreams of! Congrats guys! I felt bad for Ron in this vid...poor guy! I guess just being there and witnessing such a hunt is a highlight in it's own!
No need to feel bad!! This is why we hunt together!! Sometimes you pass over it, sometimes your buddy! In the end a great treasure was found!
CA Relic Adventures w/ Ron Swenson & Mark Dayton The above says it all: Teamwork.. Someone said this was metal detecting porn.. Definitely..! Others said:the best live dig vids on YT.. Guaranteed..! Keep up the good work & keep posting these vids..! Using my blog sig so you know who this is.. SA
It would be a interesting story to find out how the owner of these coins lost them.
Did he bury them hoping to come back and retrieve them someday ?
Was he attacked by Indians ?
Was this from a robbery ?
Why were they scattered around ?
What do you think ?
Hey RB--Thanks for the view and the comment!! We have often wondered what really happened. I personally think it was a coin spill--meaning that it was dropped from a saddle bag or container on a horse s they were riding through the area.
Don't think they were intentionally buried as they were too spread out and this area does not get plowed.
late 1890's so kind of rules out Indian attack in that part of CA.
Think it was a random coin spill and I am sure that person felt sick for months after that loss!!
I didn't find even one coin,but I got to see you guys having fun.
Thanks for dropping in and don't feel bad, I didn't take any coins home that night either! I detected a few but Andrew dug em all. I had a blast videoing them pop out hto! When you see em pop out live its just like digging them! The excitement is real!
Fun to watch other diggers from around the world! 😎👍🍀 Greetings from the Netherlands! 🇳🇱
Thanks 👍 for stopping by and posting a comment. I would love to travel around and detect different countries but life seems to get in the way!! Appreciate the view and the comment!
Finding things from where you live is the best however! I found Roman and Medieval coins around the city where I live in and was born…! 😎👍🍀 That’s priceless… Good luck to you!
Part of the stage coach robbery stash! Train robbery? Indian massacre? Some poor old gambler was robbed of his fortune!
Hey Larry, Thanks for stopping by and posting a comment. Yeah someone had a very bad day regardless of how those coins ended up on the ground!! that wa a pile of money in the 1890's!!
@@RonSwensonRelicAdventures Back in the 70's my folks bought a ranch below Carson City NV, it was a large chunk of land and they raised cattle and a few appaloosa horses. Mom was a history buff and researches the area and found out the Kit Carson Trail ran right through their property. So I go out and purchase a metal detector and went relic hunting. We mapped out the trail and there were some places you could make out a dirt trail. I found an old camp site and found some interesting relics including an old rusty cooking pot. No coins and no pull tabs! Part of an old revolver, horseshoes and lots of rusty stuff.
And amazing coins! 😍👌 Wow!!
Thank you 😁 That was a fun night. Appreciate the view and the comment! Best of luck to you!!
By far a hunt of a life time, wow!! Congrats you guys!
Thank Jeremy and yes that will be tough to beat!
Congratulations guys! I've been watching your videos for quite some time now and I am so happy to these wonderful coins come out of the ground. THANK YOU for sharing this moment with us. I wonder if sometime in the past a bull dozer broke a jar up and spread the coins around. I know I would be going back for a long time before I decided it was "hunted out." Best wishes and HH, Dave.
Can you imagine!? The fines on the lifetime! Score
What an amazing day you guys had!!!
Congratulations on all the beautiful coins!
Gave you a sub and a big LIKE! 😁
Thanks OO, Appreciate you taking the time to watch. that was a fun night for sure!! Take a peek at a few of our others. Not as epic but still kind of fun!! Check out the nugget vids. We really act a bit crazy on those!! Kinda embarrassing but funny!!
Best metal detecting video I've ever seen on TH-cam!!! Those live digs were unbelievable. Thank you so much for sharing!!!!
Fantastic finds😊😊😊😊
Thank you for watching and taking the time to post a comment.
Absolutely AMAZING!!!!!! I am in SHOCK just watching this!!!! Did you find it this year or last?
Amazing. every metal detectors dream. every time i go metal detecting i dream of finding some nice Gold. but all i come home with is ring pulls lol. but i have had some nice finds in 3 years of detecting.
Thank you so much for recording this! It was amazing to watch. Congrats!
Wow! And this is why we put "The coil to the soil!" Congrats!!
What an awesome adventure. Best suspense movie I've seen ever! I believe I cried tears of joy for you. I never thought I'd get that emotional over metal detecting.
Hey guys great video. Thanks for sharing it. I just picked up my first detector and was hoping you could give a few tips on researching potential sites in northern California. Mark, what kind of reference material do you like to use ie: books, old newspapers etc? I would appreciate any information you feel like sharing. Thank you! and congratulations on some great finds.
I hope you have done well John. It’s been five years since you posted this. I would like to know what type of research they did to find the site as well. It’s amazing!
Some comments sneak past and I don't see them. I try to reply to every comment but I guess 5 years ago I missed a few. Most of our research is done at the library. If you can find old plat maps they will show home sites for certain time periods. We usually look for the time period around the gold rush up to 1870's or so. That gives us the era we are most interested in. Also Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps are old insurance maps that show the location of houses and usually will show outbuilding etc. Tough to get into that era as many sites were not insured in the early gold rush. But great for older towns etc. when looking for older silver coins etc. A lot of our gold rush sites are just exploring along the gold rush areas. Sorry for the delayed response.
CONGRATS GUYS!!!...By far one of the best caches/spills I've ever seen....HOLY COW...what a find.....THANKS for sharing this awesome experience. Best of luck and take us along if you go back!!!!
I’m so glad I’m just finding this channel! Now I have seven years worth of videos look back and see if they came here again! I hope they did and I hope they found a ton more! Congratulations that’s awesome
watching this again after two years..wow!
hahaha yeah that one never gets old!! Thanks for the repeat views!! Happy New Year!
@@RonSwensonRelicAdventures Happy New Year guys! Thanks..
I am so jealous guys. You just made me go metal detecting tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration. Great video.
Envy is fine but don't be jealous!! hahaha. Just go find something great so I can be envious of your finds. Best of luck to you and glad the video is getting to head out!!
I am totally blown away you guys. I’ve been wanting to try metal detecting all my life. Just never got to it. I’m 57. This video is the fire I needed under my butt. This stuff fascinates me. I live up in Canada in Alberta. A lot of history here but not as far back as you guys.
I’ve always loved old coins/trinkets/Jewelry. It’s not the cash value to me, it’s the stories these things could tell. Good stuff guys!
Javers, Glad you found the video! This is a great hobby-gets you outside and the possibility of a very cool find. This hobby can be tailored for any area. Just adjust your mindset to what you are looking for. If you look in yards or parks the mindset is coins and trinkets. Don't expect relics. Beaches-Jewelry and coins. Etc etc. Yes it takes time to learn the machine and where to go but hat is all part of the game we play as detectorists!! Best of luck and glad we were able to give you a little motivation.

incredible. triple double eagle.. Cannot imagine anyone losing so much money in one spot and not being able to find it. Something tragic must have happened there.
Congratulation! So fun to watch your reactions! Thank you for sharing this! I got excited right along with you. Best metal detecting video I have seen to date!
Thanks Beth. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to post a comment. We had a good run for a few months but things have slowed down and the heat this summer has been brutal. have not swung a detector in over a month.
You know it!

Any metal detector would have picked up these coins. No trash in the ground, clean soil. Congrats on the finds.
What kind of split do you make with the property owner? 80/20? 50/50? I bet the property owner was pretty stoked.
