Detecting the grounds of a 1694 Quaker Meeting House

Today’s permission is a property that has been used as a Quaker Meeting space for 340 years! Everything recovered is getting returned to the Society of Friends for display and to help celebrate their anniversary this year (even the trash, which will be used as a display for encouraging the importance of recycling and proper disposal of trash). 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.

Great video. I'm sure they will enjoy the largie and shield.

They're even excited to get the trash... They have an environmental display inside and they'll add what I found to educate people on littering.
