Back Metal Detecting an Old Park That Was Once a Civil War Battlefield and a Victorian Neighborhood

[@adrientucker5949]

The cylinder head gasket rocks! A great start to the video.

[@FindingAmerica]

Haha I thought it would definitely be something different and unexpected for people to see that first find of mine at the beginning of the hunt. It was for me when I dug it up. Thanks for watching this one Adrien. ATB Greg

[@TheReal-HeeHaw]

[@stevenstark9017]

Awesome video Greg. Those are some very cool finds, that's why i like metal detecting so much, coins are cool but it's the relics that tell the history.

[@FindingAmerica]

Couldn't agree with you more Steven! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for watching this one! ATB Greg

[@vernowen2083]

Always enjoy your videos. We can't always find gold or ancient coins. The fun is in the searching and the interesting things we find.

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks Vern and I always enjoy finding the relics and the old and interesting when I'm out there. The gold and silver are just icing on the cake. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for watching this one! ATB Greg

That was a good one, Greg. Yeah, I got my days mixed up yesterday but I did look around in your archives. That marble you found was actually a reject from the factory, not burning the garbage. Appreciate all the time you put into this. Digging deep is my favorite part .We'll all Of it but you know Research is cool.😊

[@FindingAmerica]

Glad you enjoyed it Greg and thanks for the info on the marble. I have a new segment on the channel coming out in the new video tomorrow morning. Hope you enjoy it too. ATB Greg

Love your videos and old photos Greg. Always a wonderful history lesson along with great recoveries. You are killing it with that Manticore. Thanks, Doug

It really was a very nice looking marble. Glad you enjoyed seeing it, Matt and thanks so much for watching this one! ATB Greg

[@scottnyc6572]

That button with the castle tower almost looks like the Army Corps of Engineers logo

[@FindingAmerica]

It is very similar and I enjoyed finding that one out there. Thanks so much for watching this one! ATB Greg

[@andreamassari9099]

Great video, Greg 😃 You know I love those railroad spikes and train photos 😊 loved both train photos. Speaking of, that was a nice valve stem. You found great things this week. 😊 Thanks for all of your hard work!

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks Andrea and that was a very nice valve stem. They're usually bent when you find them. Glad you enjoyed this one and thanks so much for watching! ATB Greg

[@Philip-mw4qs]

Greg I'm not a troll when I so unwisely remarked about the king of Belgium... I offer my humble apology...Your answer was perfect... I'm a devoted subscriber and you're one of the best in your genre...A thousand thanks...

[@FindingAmerica]

Appreciate the apology.

[@waynearmstrong5233]

Theres no lack of variety in you finds on this hunt Greg, Theres a good chance you have enough railway spikes to build a track in your back yard, or possibly around your neighbourhood. Very interesting history on the coin tokens. Who would have thought that detecting would teach us more about history than we learnt at school, well at least for me it has! Cheers Greg!

[@FindingAmerica]

I always love a good variety of finds and "digging it all" definitely lends itself to that outcome while detecting. Glad you enjoyed it Wayne and thanks so much for watching this one! ATB Greg

[@juliegriffin7609]

Another great episode! The ring and Civil War bullet eere my favorite finds. See you next week. 💖💯

[@Soconfused9]

I really like how u edit your videos, your calm narration, fact you share your machine readings and depths, as well as your historical photos and followup details.

[@thesea4me2]

I wonder if, someday, it would be worth an episode where you had TWO piles, one of all good stuff, and one of all the junk, only so that viewers could get a real look at metal detecting… showing that not every signal is a treasure, but under the junk is all the good stuff. You allude to it occasionally Greg, but a clearer understanding that old is under new might keep a newbie from quitting. Just a thought. Great as always brother.

[@FindingAmerica]

I appreciate the feedback. Actually, I mention finding trash pretty regularly when I'm out there especially as I am constantly advocating that people should dig it all and the advantages of digging all the trash to find the treasures. Glad you enjoyed watching this one Charles.

[@jaygordon9554]

Greg the manticore is a beast,another great hunt.

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks Jay and Minelab definitely hit the nail on the head with their nickname for this machine!

[@kathymoll7010]

Good video, Greg. Relics of the past. I know it must take a lot of time to find photos to match find. I really enjoy those old photos. Thanks for what you do, and I loved the mom ring.

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks Kathy and it's a ton of work but well worth it. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for watching this one! ATB Greg

[@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat]

Greg, a beautiful display of very unique finds. Loved the mother ring and the hair clips. Nice to see a civil war bullet come out of the ground. A great day for you. Congrats.👍👏

[@denniscutter1539]

Greg, whenever you find a hinge with that particular shape/style, you can pretty much guarantee it came from a Seller's or Nappanee kitchen upright cabinet.

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks so much for that info Dennis. It makes sense and I can picture it on those cabinets now. Thanks so much for watching this one! ATB Greg

[@Cutter-jx3xj]

Awesome video, and finds. I've been detecting about as long as you and older, (intelligent) 😂. detectorist dig all repeatable signals and hunt with a hum in the threshold to hear the very deep signals.

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks so much and I've always felt that combining those old school analog habits with the new technology makes for the best detecting. :)

[@dault5320]

Awesome episode. So many interesting finds and great photos. I love when you give the history behind some of your finds.

Awesome relics, plus Civil War, plus silver in the hole, WOW, Gotta Love It!

Thanks and I love those days when I can check off most of the boxes when I'm out there. That park and it's history certainly lends to a nice variety of finds being dug! Thanks so much for watching this one! ATB Greg

[@digginrelicsintn9952]

Nice hunt Greg! That Manticore seems to be a great machine. Really enjoy the variety of your finds. Some You Tubers seem to only find coins or civil war bullets. Sometimes that gets a little boring. You never know what will come out of the ground in your videos.

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks Billy and the Manticore has been amazing to use. I love finding a variety of things when I'm out there and digging it all lends itself to that perfectly . Glad you enjoyed seeing the finds and thanks so much for watching this one! ATB Greg

[@thegallowsdetectorists666]

Hi Greg , hitting some nice finds with the Manticore again and although the ring is a great find my favourite has to be the Type block a wonderful example of social history before the age of digital printing , great video as usual my friend hope all is good ATB Rob .

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks so much Robbie and I agree with you about the type set. I miss the good old days of fresh ink and newsprint in the morning. I'll take a real book over digital any day. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for watching this one! ATB Greg

The photo of that unfortunate fella late for his train...I hope all that yelling & waving made a difference!---I found similar toy coins on E-bay, the listing seller indicated it was from their own 1960 collection.---Ah, Monopoly. I loved playing when it was just us kids, because as I aged, playing with adults was NO FUN. ---Interesting info on the lipstick tube. I have a similar plastic one that I think might have been Avon from the 60s.

Nice work Greg! Where’s Chris been??

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks Bob and Chris has been busy with work and moving. We're hoping he can get out soon for a few episodes before it gets too hot out there. I am definitely not looking forward to that heat again!

[@TerryArchibald-w5r]

I bought a dresser at an auction about 15 years ago that had your drawer pull on it. It was original furniture for the Hotel that they were going to tear down. The Hotel opened in 1925. Unfortunately, someone like Mary from Storage Wars had gotten their hands on it through the years and the original Maplewood had about 8 layers of paint on it. I will never understand covering beautiful wood with paint which should be used for covering drywall.

[@FindingAmerica]

I definitely agree with you on that. I love the look of natural wood.

[@redbloodedveteran]

Love your channel, you are a true professional…I currently use a 10 year old Garrett AT Pro with the Z-link MS-3 wireless headphones. What would be the benefit of moving up to the Manticore! Do you recommend this move? Mid Cape metal detecting

[@riddlesrelics1278]

Motor on greg motor on.... ha ha ha

[@FindingAmerica]

Haha Thanks Randy!

[@janas7088]

How many pull tabs do you dig? Some of the parks we go to - sounds like machine gun going off from them. I don't dig them all.

[@FindingAmerica]

I dig a ton of them Jana! When I say I dig it all, I mean I dig it all. LOL Now, if I am in a newer park then I am not gong to be digging it all in that type of location but I probably wouldn't even be in a newer park unless the land it was on had older history. When I am hunting parks it is usually an older park or one with history and it's in those type parks that I am going to dig every single signal. The reason I mention the VDI numbers on my channel is so everyone watching the hunt can realize that so many of the cool things that I find in these locations often fall into the trash and especially into those pull tab range of numbers. I also mention them so people can see just how far iron and trash near a good object can draw those numbers down from the good item's normal VDI number. Thanks so much for watching Jana! ATB Greg

[@williamwigley8334]

Not to be too critical, but have you changed cameras or camera settings? Your shots seem to be out of focus and out of frame more these past few weeks.

[@FindingAmerica]

No, it just happens at times when you are in the field.

[@anoniaciesluk3273]

Seems like the camera is not on the object much anymore spend a lot of time looking at your baby finger. Did you change equipment? It never used to be so off or as out of focus.

[@FindingAmerica]

Out of focus and off center does happen sometimes when you are out in the field, covered in dirt, tired, sweating, trying to see what you found while trying to speak intelligently about it and excited over what you just found while holding the find in one hand and the camera in the other. I do my best out there. Take care and ATB Greg
