Detecting for Silver in a 1920 House Yard!

After a long road trip through Florida this was my first new permission. Right around the corner was a permission I did last year that had the best silver spill and an amazing coin cache from the late 1800’s (including a Roman coin!), the link to that video is below. This yard helped get me back on to the silver, though I need some serious catching up to do to beat last years numbers. Hope you enjoy it!

If you’re new to the channel, check out some of my other videos. I do 2 or 3 adventures a week (since I’m retired) and post at least one video a week. Sometimes I post a bonus video when they start to pile up! Feel free to leave a comment or a question, and definitely hit the subscribe button so you can come along on the next adventure!

I’m not sponsored by any equipment companies, but I use:
NoktaMakro Legend
NoktaMakro Simplex
NoktaMakro PulseDive Pinpointer
Nokta Accupoint Pinpointer
GoPro Silver (mounted on the shovel)
Nomad RootSlayer Shovel
Whites Digging Tool
My ‘standard’ settings for the Legend in suburban yards:
Field Mode
All Metal
6 tone, with 1-10 volume turned down low. I want to hear the iron but not have it drown out everything else.
Sensitivity turned to 25-27 depending on interference
Recovery speed 5 - I turn that a little lower if the ground is ‘clean’, and turn it up a little if there are a lot of junk targets
Iron filter 8 - if there’s a lot of small iron in the ground I might turn it down to 5 or 6
I grid the yard left to right in 10 kHz, then turn and grid the other way in Multi1
Dig it all!
I previously used the Garrett Ace 300 and the Garrett “carrot” pinpointer. Suitable for beginners but the NoktaMakro equipment has performed much better.
Thinking of getting into the hobby? I really recommend contacting a metal detecting dealer, either a store in your area or an online detecting specialist. They can definitely match your budget with the right equipment for you. I don’t recommend buying equipment online from other sales sites (Amazon, Etsy, EBay, etc) since you can’t be sure of what you’re getting. Trust in a reputable dealer. I use Kellycodetectors.com… but again, not sponsored by them or anyone else.

Hey Kevin great videos as always, also wanted to say you did a great job with the Metal Detecting class you did at Strathaven High School. Very informative and nice display of your finds, a lot of history of Pennsylvania and Delaware County. Keep up the good work and videos

Thanks, it was a fun class! Great to meet you and good luck with your detecting!

Great hunt. You can’t count out those 1920 yards. I detected a yard with a 1930 house and found an 1899 Barber dime.

You just never know what you'll find... I just did another 1920's yard and found a large cent! It's the fun of the hunt.
