guys, my 8 yr. old son has asked for a detector and it arrives tomorrow, Our first site will be my grandmothers house, he is so excited and we cant wait to get started, thanks for the great videos and tips
WOW! I have a Grandfather that frequented that bar you guys were digging in front of. I grew up in Fruitland/Payette area. Didn't know they dug all that up. Awesome find =]
WOW!! They tore up the sidewalks too! No wonder you found so much! Before cement sidewalks folks would just walk in the dirt road or the boardwalk. Lots of loot to be found there!
Dude, I love your filming angles and commentary. It makes the whole video several notches above the rest on TH-cam. You just can't pass up a street like that no way, no how!
All I can say is that was the best god damn metal detecting show I have ever seen. You guys are real characters it was a pleasure to watch. Greetings from Australia!
At Stu27777... One day in the next forever life to come. You are gonna bow a knee to The Most High GOD... B4 your 2nd. death into The Lake of Fire.Along with satan and his demonic sprits!! Merry Christmas...2018
Fantastic video! I enjoyed it very much! Congrats on the amazing finds. What a time capsule! What's with you finding all the key dates this year? LOL. I value that 1885 nickel at around $165. Are you guys going to go back?
Holly crappers. You guys are making epic videos and doing it in my back yard. Great for the both of you. Keep up the perfect editing and sooner or later the call will come. I'm on board with you two.
That was a great video ! I recently found a 1926 British half penny in an old trailer park that is on the grounds of Camp Patrick Henry, a WW2 camp. Keep them coming Doc.
Wow, just, wow, awesome finds guys, awesome finds. It is funny how your first standing liberty quarter is from 1920, the first silver coin that I ever found was also a 1920 standing liberty quarter. I found mine when my father and I were renovating an old farm house. Best of luck.
Guys, I love your videos!!! Seriously, you need to be on tv! Hello? History channel? Have I got a show for you! I have been through your channel at least 3 times in the last few months... And counting. PLEASE keep on filming!!! You're GRRRREAT!!! Can't wait to see what you "hook" next! 😉 Keep fishin'!
Awesome finds. I used to hunt in Idaho back in the 1980's and looking at the corrosion on your coins wondering what was different in the dirt in Fruitland compared to around Boise. Usually coins weren't all that bad for the dry climate there. Even stuff as old as Indians and V nickels. A few of us had a similar experience when they tore up all the grass at the state capitol yard in Boise in October 1984 and opened it up for THing for the first time. Missed out when downtown Boise streets were torn up in the early 1990s. Heard about some amazing coin finds. Thanks for sharing!
Everyone here keeps wondering about the legalities of the hunt. They are tearing the road out, correct? Why would the authorities object? But, then again, I wonder why when I try to detect on the BEACH at Lake Michigan, you are greeted by the NO METAL DETECTORS ON BEACH sign. Kind of strange that families can go to the beach and children can make sand-castles, dig holes(so it obviously has nothing to do with filling your holes) and have fun but, you can't swing a detector. I think it may have to do with finding something worth a LOT of money, and the tax man not knowing about it. What a shame...
rich short I could possibly understand the contractor objecting if the holes interfere with making a decent subsurface. look at the rules for mudlarcking in England where a museum gets to review your finds. I'm starting to wonder if the Rangers at the beach keep the loot for themselves
Because authorities are busy bodies that like to object to everyone and everything. The very profession of being an "authority" attracts control freaks that love to ruin the fun. The sad thing is people wouldn't wonder about the legality of this hunt if everyone wasn't so paranoid about said, "authorities", harassing everyone. It's made people scared.
i dont know about the legal side of it, but i do road repair for a living and i can tell you i would have been pissed if i came back to find holes in what looked to be an almost completed base layer. seeing as how leveling out the gravel before you put down asphalt is half the job.
Cannot BELIEVE it took me this long to find your videos! Dang it dang it dang it! But that's ok, so worth the irritation. Great video, amazing production-all of it-you guys got it goin on! Used to live up there in McCall and really can't wait to get back up there for some fishin of my own~thanks for sharing guys!
Makes me wish I had a nice metal detector. My hometown just demolished 2 large buildings on the original town square. The town has been here since the early to mid 1800's or so, and the town square is in the original spot. I've seen pictures of the square with the wooden porches and horse and buggies parked all over.
Great dig! My favorite and oldest find has been a 1906 V nickel with my E-trac. Found it in an old schoolyard in Tulsa, OK. Finding older coins has proven difficult here. So many of the turn of the century era parks here have been ruined by backfill with red clay dirt that is chock full of aluminum cans and other garbage. Almost impossible to find native soil in the key areas here in town...but I am always looking.
Awesome program and show guys!👍🏻 there's a lot of old places were I live. Just got into metal detecting a couple of months ago and hope to find some good stuff!
great video you guys ,really enjoyed watching ,should be on tv ,and that street is your history on a plate with some amazing finds and i like the banter between you lads also,, just hope that building does not start to subside LOL hope you can get back on there HH and best wishes,,,pat
Back in the day people would put coins in the foundation of buildings for good luck your piece of concrete with a penny maybe a piece of old Foundation or the first piece of concrete poured in that little village
Sweet!!!! Congrats on all the coinage!! My first 1856 LC was at a sidewalk tear out great place to hunt to bad you didn't get there before the other side was done now u gotta wait 70 years lol
unbelievable. I'm sooo jealous. Preserving history is such a great feeling. I recently bought a metal detector(coin master pro and garrett pinpointer) I wanted to start with something basic and I have found lots of present day coins but we have this park here in New Orleans, City Park and I've gone there about 4 days a week for just about every week since I started a month ago and I have found nearly ANYTHING worth a crap. It's frustrating, I already a collection of old coins that I purchased here and there and have large collection of old bottles but I can't really find other places to hunt
You are never going to find anything at parks, those places are usually picked clean. Anytime there is construction near the center of downtown, are good places. Basically where a lot of people would be a hundred of year ago. Old hiking trails are good too. Very old fishing holes, but there is a lot of junk there too.
The town I live in just passed a fix it bill to fix the city streets. Town is about 150 years old. I excited for this, I have a garret ace 250 with a 10 by 14 excelerator eq2 pro search coil.
Diggin the Goonies shirt and hellava score!!! i am just starting up and am having a great time researching places to hunt. Nothing as big as this yet but i am determined to and i will!!!
hmm never would have thought of detectin road tear ups. their dng construction around my apartment. nieghbor told me to metal detect their hills of dirt. after their done and gone. may try it out. good job finding them coins. i hope to one day find some silver. :)
Thank you so much for at last someone has explained what some of your coins are like the seated, which I guess is obvious to you guys but not to the populous in other countries. (Did you like that word.... Populous?) thought I would let you know that I wasn't a total moron. Don't you just love the feeling of detecting? Not knowing what's going to pop up next. I just love it. You just got another sub. Well done guys.
I hear yah man, I have a metal detector too, but can't afford batteries for it. I WANT TO USE IT SO BADLY THOUGH, especially after a storm washed out the sidewalk in front of our house and I found a penny from 1863 along the curb.
My family lives a block over from the general store. Who would have known I was driving over this for all this time. Makes you think. What riches do we drive over everyday all day. What an opportunity!
Wow that looks like an addiction! It would be very hard to go home. I bet you see it when you close your eyes. I like to look for arrowheads, morels, and berries. I dream about them after doing it all day. This would be insane absolutely insane. Last year they did this in Asotin Washington. The road was ripped up for months. If only i had known.
Great location, I don't make videos but I always look for possible virgin sites to dig. I drive by road jobs and I just yearn to get into the dirt to see what I can find. You guys hit pay dirt!
Great video. Just subscribed. I like the idea of a third person announcer describing the "action". That's an angle in the metal detecting videos I haven't seen. Or was that one of your other videos.
Amazed you had no trouble there. In the UK, That would have been fenced off and the road built quickly one section at a time. You have to try hard here to find coins lost before 1930 too. Unless you get on the fields, of course.
guys, my 8 yr. old son has asked for a detector and it arrives tomorrow, Our first site will be my grandmothers house, he is so excited and we cant wait to get started, thanks for the great videos and tips
America's fastest growing hobby is a fun and healthy one!
WOW! I have a Grandfather that frequented that bar you guys were digging in front of. I grew up in Fruitland/Payette area. Didn't know they dug all that up. Awesome find =]
That was very awesome!! It seems like every little kid's dream to be doing what you guys are doing haha.
Who would've thought, a road tear out, great idea! Nice finds guy's. Thanks bro's.
Badass...you guys scored. The business owner must have been dumbfounded to find his cement walk all scooped and hollowed out.
WOW!! They tore up the sidewalks too! No wonder you found so much! Before cement sidewalks folks would just walk in the dirt road or the boardwalk. Lots of loot to be found there!
Thats right
2degucitas picturing the muddy streets in western movies.
You guys are amazing :) absolutely the most entertaining detecting videos on TH-cam !! Great production , keep em coming 😀
+natasha cherrin thanks!!
Dude, I love your filming angles and commentary. It makes the whole video several notches above the rest on TH-cam. You just can't pass up a street like that no way, no how!
oh wow!....I am stunned!..I never thought this would be!
I still love coming back to this video!
That standing liberty quarter looked like it was still in good shape. Great job!!
That is soooo cool. Digging up some real history - As a Canuck, I envy the history my southern friends have buried in those small towns.
All I can say is that was the best god damn metal detecting show I have ever seen.
You guys are real characters it was a pleasure to watch.

Alan30189- this was an 1885 v nickel. It just had some wearing on the 8. If you look close you can see the 8. Thanks for watching!
+DrTones24k what detector is being used and what is the handheld smaller unit?
iconaclastor hah that small thing is a pin pointer
DrTones24k Ever detected Moscow Idaho, I wish I could find Indians...
The 1885 V nickel is worth over $500!
DrTones2
Can't beat a site like that! No new coins is something you gotta love!
Very good video presentation too!
I love the videos and the way you talk about the history..just got my first metal detector can't wait till the snow melts.
Great spot you found! Congrats on your awesome finds! Great video!
Very impressive hunt, EPIC. One of your best hunts yet. love it.
Love your personalities. You guys need your own show on the Travel channel.
Nice production guys, best street tear out hunt video I have ever come across!!
This is one video that never gets OLD!!....Nice diggz Doc. Best of Luck and HH
That was a great video ! I recently found a 1926 British half penny in an old trailer park that is on the grounds of Camp Patrick Henry, a WW2 camp. Keep them coming Doc.

Awesome hunt guys! I saw this one a year or more ago for the first time and again today. It is still as good!
Wow, just, wow, awesome finds guys, awesome finds. It is funny how your first standing liberty quarter is from 1920, the first silver coin that I ever found was also a 1920 standing liberty quarter. I found mine when my father and I were renovating an old farm house. Best of luck.
I think I've racked up 500 views on this one. My favorite by far! ---------Joe Angel
Excellent video guys, in the top ten of best ever metal machine videos on TH-cam :)
Guys, I love your videos!!! Seriously, you need to be on tv!
Hello? History channel? Have I got a show for you!
I have been through your channel at least 3 times in the last few months... And counting. PLEASE keep on filming!!! You're GRRRREAT!!! Can't wait to see what you "hook" next! 😉 Keep fishin'!
That is seriously awesome! I used to live in Parma, less than 15 minutes away. No idea all that stuff was underneath the street!
Way to take advantage of a once in a lifetime location!
Great huntin' guys!!
Sweet finds too!!
Congrats! : )
Awesome finds. I used to hunt in Idaho back in the 1980's and looking at the corrosion on your coins wondering what was different in the dirt in Fruitland compared to around Boise.

What was the rough value of this haul? IT looked absolutely amazing.
Great video...and (at the start of the video) absolutely LOVED that old VW van in the background! :)
Nice Dig … Love finding the Strip shot clippings … lets you know good things are to come
I really enjoyed this video....you guys have a magic together and it was really interesting and I am glad that you shared this with us.
Thanks so much for the kind words. We're glad you liked it!
WOW well presented...it was like looking at a tv series...more of this plz...gratz on your finds HH.
Just thinking, if y'all boys hadn't done this, all of these historic items would have been lost forever! Thanks boys.
Our pleasure!

Great vídeo !!!! I’m from Brazil !!! I like this hobby !!! Good locky !
Brilliant place to hunt!! never thought of it!!
For what its worth, in a lot of old small towns, general stores acted as basic banks.
Great video man! Where do you get the music you use in the videos for background music?
Cannot BELIEVE it took me this long to find your videos! Dang it dang it dang it! But that's ok, so worth the irritation. Great video, amazing production-all of it-you guys got it goin on! Used to live up there in McCall and really can't wait to get back up there for some fishin of my own~thanks for sharing guys!

We did the streets in our little town in ND this last year. Wish I had seen this before hand...lol
Awesome program and show guys!👍🏻 there's a lot of old places were I live. Just got into metal detecting a couple of months ago and hope to find some good stuff!
great video you guys ,really enjoyed watching ,should be on tv ,and that street is your history on a plate with some amazing finds and i like the banter between you lads also,, just hope that building does not start to subside LOL hope you can get back on there HH and best wishes,,,pat
Watching this from Guava Island. Very cool hunt
You guys are great. Dug a basement of the old general store and didn't charge them a thing.! Fun video as always...
Haha!
Amazing. I would love to go hunting with you guys. That's a great find on that road!!
Thanks for sharing.
Joshbiz!!
Awesome! I'd of wanted to become lawless and gone and rented a jackhammer! 😄
Back in the day people would put coins in the foundation of buildings for good luck your piece of concrete with a penny maybe a piece of old Foundation or the first piece of concrete poured in that little village
At 2:19, you can read the year on the coin. That ought to tell about the condition of the coin. That's awesome!
Now that's awesome great job guys
I wish I can meet you guys!
Sweet!!!! Congrats on all the coinage!! My first 1856 LC was at a sidewalk tear out great place to hunt to bad you didn't get there before the other side was done now u gotta wait 70 years lol
Awesome place, an soooper finds!! Dang great video guys👍👌😃
Good stuff guys. Your video production continues to improve. Keep em coming!
GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT DIG.REALLY ENJOYED THE VIDEO.
I'm a wannabe digger. A tear up never entered my mind thinking of places to go !!
Nice show guys. Very entertaining.
unbelievable. I'm sooo jealous. Preserving history is such a great feeling.

Dude work some of the old fish camps near pilings I have found a lot of good old stuff in that area....

Lets go!
I going see when they are planning on doing this and get the permission to dig. Since my state also passed a bill that I need to ask first.
Diggin the Goonies shirt and hellava score!!! i am just starting up and am having a great time researching places to hunt. Nothing as big as this yet but i am determined to and i will!!!
Excellent video and finds!
Man I like you guys already! This coin collector is totally subscribing!
You guys did or Digged it up well! Great stuff. Cheers Doc
No one tried to stop you from digging? Was this on a weekend? No one seems to be working. Amazing no silver dollars.
Nice cleanup, well done guys 👍
Really nicely done video. Thanks guys...
hmm never would have thought of detectin road tear ups. their dng construction around my apartment. nieghbor told me to metal detect their hills of dirt. after their done and gone. may try it out. good job finding them coins. i hope to one day find some silver. :)
It is really good video! I like it! Thank you, guys!
Very cool! Next time they redo the street I'm giving this a go!🐱⛏
dang, they just did a huge street tear out in Meridian, ID last summer.
Thank you so much for at last someone has explained what some of your coins are like the seated, which I guess is obvious to you guys but not to the populous in other countries. (Did you like that word.... Populous?) thought I would let you know that I wasn't a total moron. Don't you just love the feeling of detecting? Not knowing what's going to pop up next. I just love it.

Good job on the finds!Nice!
Sure, streets were paved with horse droppings, so a coin dropped into that soup was left, mired inthe mud. Big loss in those days! Great find today!
Wow that looks like an addiction! It would be very hard to go home. I bet you see it when you close your eyes. I like to look for arrowheads, morels, and berries. I dream about them after doing it all day. This would be insane absolutely insane. Last year they did this in Asotin Washington. The road was ripped up for months. If only i had known.
Good to see they are using Aussie made products, proud to be south australian
Great location, I don't make videos but I always look for possible virgin sites to dig. I drive by road jobs and I just yearn to get into the dirt to see what I can find. You guys hit pay dirt!
That was so much fun to watch!, Putting on my boots as im typing to go dig it up,,,,,Sweet Digs my friends,,,,R,D,D,
Awesome spot. That has to be one of the best digs ive seen on youtube. HH GL
Great video. Just subscribed. I like the idea of a third person announcer describing the "action". That's an angle in the metal detecting videos I haven't seen. Or was that one of your other videos.
Here in Michigan the roads get torn up regularly. I plan on buying a metal detector and get myself a new hobby!!

Where do you live Bryan??

sounds good!
Amazed you had no trouble there. In the UK, That would have been fenced off and the road built quickly one section at a time. You have to try hard here to find coins lost before 1930 too. Unless you get on the fields, of course.
onto the next old town street tear out! I will meet you there!!! LOL Good Luck and Happy Hunting
that was a lot of fun guys.Thanks
very enjoyable, 2 days only? I would of dug under the rest of the structures too
what a clever idea! Did you have many people or stores ask what you were doing?
Great site. Did you find where they took all the old pavement & spoil they dug up?, there's probably more coins mixed in with that.
