Exciting Day! Old dozed house - silver quarters everywhere! Metal Detecting with Minelab E-trac #18

[@FuzzyBBA]

Heck of a spot bro! Keep popping the silvers out! Thanks for sharing!

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

That's cool, I don't know anyone that detects MO. Can't wait to see your year end video! I only started making videos a few months ago like yourself.

[@ReedLukens]

I do like hunting the bare ground where old towns were. Lots of them around here, always makes for a great day :)

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Huge congrats on all the quarters! Always pays to keep your ears open. My dad is a barber in my area so I I'm always hounding him about getting me new permissions from his old timer customers. lol.

[@cutaplug]

I've heard that before too. It's always fun to rummage through an old house that's still standing never know what you'll find =)

[@LifeNatureMeditation]

What an amazing opportunity!! Thx for sharing with us.

[@Yulelah]

Excellent video and hunt ! Congrats on all the silver quarters, wheats, and all your finds ! Good luck on your next hunt !

[@TheDmon66]

I have a Bounty Hunter Tracker IV, I'm a novice, and scored it for $20 at a yard sale. It does pretty good, and you get used to the different tones for various metals quickly. Has three settings: tone, disc, and all metal.

[@TheBakerman55]

Great deduction,history has a way of showing itself when looked at with a need to know. Once I was detecting behind a well known pre civil war fort for protecting wagon trains and fur traders and found the lead from a lil hill were targets were set up and most were rim fire pistol bullets,no not a 22lr,then walked to were I'd be shooting a pistol from and found all cartridges for each lead bullet,these bullets were practice on Indians,the area behind the fort was also used to house settelers passing through for protection, wonderful video boys.

[@paradisefalls37]

What a honey hole!! So cool!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@cutaplug]

Thanks Jim! I don't run across spots like that often and never had a place give up silvers right on top of the ground before. Hopefully we can get the weeds cleared out and maybe find some more =)

[@cutaplug]

That's so cool =) I love finding old stuff like that.

[@telkirton]

Happy New Year, look forward to more videos from the old house, good luck.....

[@trkrtreasurehunter]

Very cool video!! Spots like that are golden!! Congrats. Jim

[@cutaplug]

Aerial maps are a great way to find places and sometimes just driving around works good too. Good luck =)

[@cutaplug]

Thanks Joe. We had permission from the property owner as usual but I'm not in this hobby to detect for several hours just to give away all my finds. Unless it's a marked ring of course. I know they have sentimental value and I return every one of those =)

[@cutaplug]

Wow that's aweomse! One of my dreams is to find a coin purse or jar of old coins =) I think that is what happened at this site because after returning a second time found 2 or 3 more silver quarters down from where I was hunting before. All were made a straight line...

[@cutaplug]

Thanks Gordon! We've been on many wild goose chases and when I got there and saw the place I was like yuk. But then I pulled the first Washington and was like holy crap what do we have here!

[@88schwyptrlcar]

Very cool story and finds! Congrats!

[@cutaplug]

Thanks! It's a great feeling when you come across a site like that =)

[@cutaplug]

That's really cool you found an old fairgrounds! One thing I've learned is that there is always somewhere to detect. If everything is private in your area I'd start door knocking =)

[@cutaplug]

Thanks for the kind words JC! The etrac is an awesome machine. When the weather is freezing and nasty again I will make a vid explaining all the settings and features sorta like a manual on video to help new users understand it better.

[@cutaplug]

Bounty hunter makes pretty good starter units and I'm sure the platinum would serve you well. You might also check out the Tesoro Silver uMax. They don't have a screen but are a very popular entry level machine. The garret Pro pointer is a must in my opinion. I can't go detecting without it and the pinpointer is something you don't want to buy a cheap one.

[@cutaplug]

Thanks =) Happy New Year to you too!

[@alan30189]

Hope you gave pop some of those quarters for the tip on the location! Nice finds! Maybe get a frikin bush hog in there to cut down all those weeds and saplings.

[@shawnjerome8599]

What a surprise,64,like you thought the 41 was that one

[@cutaplug]

Got a chance to go back there for about 2 hours today and pulled one more silver quarter about 30 yards from where I got the last ones. Means they could be scattered to different parts since this one wasn't in the same area as the last bunch. That totals 8 silver quarters and one silver dime between Dad and I... Really want to find the motherload but still haven't run across it yet =)

[@BravoTango7ID]

Wow that's a lot of silvers most of them so close to the surface! Congrats...

[@barbarae7666]

Really enjoyed video, hope to see more of your finds. I'm looking for a good detector and pinpointer that won't require me getting another job to pay for, but isn't junk either. What do you suggest? What can you tell me about the equipment you use?

[@rdavis2929]

I'm a new etrac user too, and enjoy your videos. I'd like to see what camera you use, and how you mount it to your detector.

[@marty01957]

Nice hunt! Looked like a fun time.

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

And if you don't mind sharing. About where do you live?

[@cutaplug]

That's what we're hoping =) There are household goods like clothes, buttons, and other items scattered around so I think they just dozed it over and mixed the stuff in. There was a brick commercial building that got dozed at the same time and they pushed a lot of it over a hill behind it for fill.

[@cutaplug]

Good question. It depends on what you want to focus on finding. As a general rule the ones from 1k-10k do better on high conductive targets like silver coins. 10k-20k do better on low conductive like gold targets. A good general machine will run between 6k and 15k for the most part.

[@CoinHuntingDrew]

Dude this is awesome! Man, do you think when they dozed the house over they just kept the ruins and dirt there? Because what I'm thinking is there's a pile of dirt somewhere in the ground or something somewhere from this house being knocked down with just tons of quarters in it.

[@cutaplug]

Thanks for the tip =) I actually use old topo maps which have all the old schools marked.

[@barbarae7666]

The Bounty Hunter Platinum has caught my attention as well as the Garrett Pro-Pointer. I like the features that both have. These put me at $430, if free shipping.....LOL, $500 is very MAX for all. Have to keep it reasonable til I know how much the set will be used. The detector is the biggest question. I know that the highest price doesn't always mean the best or a better value.

[@cutaplug]

Thanks JD! That's awesome your Dad is a barber! Sound like a great way to get leads. Does he metal detect too?

[@miltonroberts7948]

At about 4:00 plus a few he was scrabbling for the wheatie and I though I saw a quarter in the grass under where his hands were, about6 inches back from the hole. Too late now, lol.

[@Helldpdigr]

Nice job! You know don't be so quick to tell everybody LOl! I went down to an old abandoned buildding that used to be a department store back in 1937. Found 2 Liberty halves in desent conditon but found an old Kodak camera still in it's leather case. Was chewed up quite a bit but the camera looks lamost new!!

[@cutaplug]

I never give my finds away. But... I have brought dad to MANY awesome spots so it always balances out =)

[@guylaw79]

Thanks for the video. Awesome tip on the house.

[@alan30189]

I used to have one of those computadice games when I was a kid! You would push the red button and the dice would roll on the screen.

[@01jakefry]

I've found coins behind the wash boards on old houses where kids have stuck it the spaces

[@pokemonprimed]

I think they where probably in old coin jars,or in old storage places or stuck in the floorboards or something.

[@jsloan001]

My new Garrett is being shipped right now, Can't wait to get out there to the old ghost town of Quartzville Oregon.

[@cutaplug]

Sounds like a blast good luck!

[@Scoutsquad45]

I haven’t found a Washington or a Rosey yet within a year of metal detecting

[@cutaplug]

Glad you enjoyed the vid, thanks for viewing =)

[@DiggingInIllinois]

That's one awsome hunt there. Looks like you missed one. About 3:55 in the video you popped out a wheat but I see a silver quarter just to the left of your pro pointer. =)

[@cutaplug]

That's awesome how old was the camera?

[@basspro373]

that box cleaned up very well hose good job man.

[@CoinHuntingDrew]

I don't know if you know about HistoricAerials, but if you look on there there's pretty old maps. I found some baseball fields dating back to the late 40's or so on there, they are in the ishy part of cleveland, between ghetto and not so ghetto. I'll probably call up the fairgrounds place, I also found somewhere there's some near by like 30 minutes away, that city also has a bad area to it, but who knows.

[@m230042]

Under the clothesline is a hot coin spot as well. Coins left in pockets during was and then hung out to dry in the breeze.

[@bullockphoto]

Interesting spot you got there! Hope your next quarter's a walker or a standing!

[@WildDigger]

Awesome silvers!!! Way to go!!!

[@cutaplug]

Thanks for the kind words =) Please let me know your budget and I'll try to suggest a few good detectors in that price range. There are so many out there if you could give me a starting point it'd help. The equipment I use: Minelab etrac $1,500, NEL tornado coil $ 250, Garrett Pro Pointer $130. I know that sounds like a lot but I started with a cheap unit and worked my way up to that over a few years. Last year I more than paid for all that with my finds now that I've gotten better.

[@57fitter]

Didnt see the nail in it. Still a cool hunt. Got out today and got my First Indian Penny.1902. Yahhhhh.Can see the Liberty on the brow.Woo Hoo Get IN!!

[@Helldpdigr]

The camera has a mfg code on it for the year of 1943. Has some rust on it but otherwise looks pretty good. Neighbor says it's worth a few dollars so I put it up on eBay and the most I could get out of it was $275. I didn't sell it.

[@ITS4390]

sometimes the best detecting you can due is in your own home. I live in my grandparents old house (they both passed and we wanted it to stay in the family) Found an old Cigar box under an old hope chest in the attic. 70 odd silver coins. Mercs, rosies, washingtons, liberties, couple franklin dollars, 2 kennedies, even an old V nickel tossed in with a pile of early 60's nickels.

[@cutaplug]

Man that's a dream come true like a real treasure! Thanks for sharing that's something we'd all like to find =)

[@PTDigger]

That was freaking great! Only if I could get so lucky! Super, super, super!!!!

[@cutaplug]

Thanks Shannon!

[@CoinHuntingDrew]

I just wish there were areas and maps out in my area that I could go and detect. Most is private property, I've called around, not sure though because the city claims all there abandoned houses (30+) are "private property and they dont own them" At least I found a cottage in the middle of the woods (next to a newer house, lol) and a lot where fairgrounds were back in the late 70's when my dad was just starting college.

[@cutaplug]

Will have to check next time I'm in that area. I think it may be a piece of trash or something cause I don't think I would have missed it if it was that close. Do you see a face or eagle? I'm just not seeing it LOL =)

[@cutaplug]

Many places. Search google for historical topo maps + your area, libraries often have a local history section, local historical societies...

[@1pushittothelimit]

still havn't got a silver quarter yet, i got dimes but no quarters cant wait to find one!!or a barber coin.

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

I've gotten a few leads from him that have paid off with silver & other old coins. But no killer spots. And nope, he doesn't detect.

[@epoker81]

I won't lie........I'm kind of jealous. Lol. Awesome finds man!

[@cutaplug]

Thanks Dave!

[@cutaplug]

Thanks ACS! I often wish I could take my e-trac back to the 60's... Then again if I could travel back in time I'd be temped to do some gambling =)

[@cutaplug]

Thanks Chris!

[@cutaplug]

Definitely was a good day =) The total so far out of there after 3 visits is 8 silver quarters and 2 dimes...

[@cutaplug]

There are several of us that live in MO. Some of the bigger names are Raymo, Bill_S, DrBobinMo and many other great hunters here...

[@Highplainsprospectors]

Awesome site to hunt!

[@cutaplug]

I use a Samsung W190 that I picked up at walmart for $49. There are other models out there that have macro which a lot of people like. I mount it using a cheap camera mount I got off ebay and some zip ties LOL =)

[@cutaplug]

$20 is a steal for any brand name detector congrats on a good bargain!

[@CeLTicSurvival]

Do you have any metal detectors you would recommend for a beginner ?

[@01antlerman]

A few years ago I used a metal detector in plowed field. The strange thing was that I found several dimes, guarters,heat pennies and a golg ring. The wiedr thing is that I found all of the coins in a straight line and wheh I got closer to the end I found a old leather coin change purse. The purse still had several more dimes in it. It seems the guy with the bull dozed pushed this purse on the surface causing all of these coins to be found. the coins were from the 1940coins

[@cutaplug]

They're worth taking a picture of and logging into my database for future reference, that way I know exactly what I found at the site. Junk will give you way more information about a site than coins will. I don't keep junk but if you're only worried about the monetary value of finds you're in the wrong hobby...

[@ridgerunner98570]

Pretty cool finds.

[@cutaplug]

Thanks =)

[@cutaplug]

It all depends on your budget. How much can you spend?

[@cutaplug]

ya I bet coins get hidden in walls and flooring and then get scattered on the ground when dozed. The small coil really helped cause there was a ton of trash there =)

[@cutaplug]

Very true! Doesn't happen often =)

[@myakinees]

That was like taking candy from a baby! That was cool.

[@barbarae7666]

Also what about the operating frequency?

[@janwarriner5037]

You sure have had some viewer success as well as finding coins! I hope you pick up your camera and detector again!

[@USMC-1911]

Nice looking field , looks like it would be full of rabbits .

[@cutaplug]

LOL wish all days were like that =)

[@christiano07ronaldo]

good job dude!! thats a hell lot of silver man ))

[@NHbeachmetaldetecting]

great video I hit some silver this last weekend!!

[@cutaplug]

Me too and I'd sure like to find a whole jar of them =)

[@lonecrackkorn4457]

Where do you find the topo maps?

[@basspro373]

hey my friend that's all good bro great finds, but yur pops get half right man, he got the spot for ya man. good luck in the next places yall look hope yall have fun, I have to get a new dector mine has seen better days ok yall have a good one

[@cutaplug]

Thanks =)

[@kantwinnada]

wow looks like you had a great day! Your dad is so funny. :)

[@shannonjeanne1]

great job lots of silver congrats

[@cutaplug]

If it's there I'm sure I'll find it eventually if we ever make it back =)

[@cutaplug]

Ya he is funny lol. The more I find the more names he calls me usually =) I think he started to get worried cause he brought me to that spot and I started finding all the good stuff. Oh well I usually bring him to a lot of spots where he found lots of goodies too so it all balances out in the end =)

[@cutaplug]

I think it was some kind of plastic cause it has a nail though it. Happy Hunting =)

[@Full_Metal_Digger]

Fun video and best wishes for 2013! Dave.

[@brianwatson3277]

Not trying to tell you what to do…. But if I was in your shoes, I’d take a ctx3030 up there with a 17” coil and see if there is more there.

[@57fitter]

Not a broken arrowhead with the nails and buttons???
