First Hunt in Awhile

[@jimmycoleman3115]

Very, very glad to see you back. I'd rather watch a honest video than any of the fake videos. Your videos are very honest. If some of the others hunted on a Walmart parking lot, everyone of them would find two or three 500 year old Spanish coins. Keep up the honest work.

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

😂 I hear ya on that.

[@geneschoppe4443]

I’m glad to see you back! You can tell by your quality videos that you spend a lot of time on them. We enjoy watching and the information you share. Made a shovel like yours after watching your DIY video on the shovel (thanks)!! Please disregard the hatters! Enjoyed seeing you again!

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

Glad to see that the shovel video helped out and good luck on any hunts that you have coming up.

[@sirkyoj1]

Don't feed the trolls bro. Just do what makes you happy. Cool to see you out.

[@laurentinoespino1158]

Nice yo see you back on the hunt ((awesome video 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@charlesherring9323]

Great to see you back your videos help so many people to understand not only how to detect,your one of the only one out there to property run through the settings with clarity and understanding of how the machine works. So don't be discouraged by the haters and downers just keep swinging my friend

[@tommyb7340]

Nice to see you back! Always enjoy your videos!!!

[@donschell8108]

I am so pleased to see you back. In my humble opinion, you create some of the very best detecting videos that can be found. Always personal, real, good information, and professionally done. Sorry to learn you ever received any negative comments, totally undeserved. I appreciate your position of balance that fits your public and private life. You are doing the right things. Keep them coming at your pace. Your represent the best of the hobby.

[@lindapelullo452]

Welcome back Squirrel! Do what works for you! Nice buckle. Based on the finds - electrical, glass, pottery - it looks like your on top of one of the house sites. Could be more to find below the layer you're digging. Stay safe, stay warm! ☺️

[@leegault3674]

I love your hunts. Do whats best for you,

[@mrfunnyegg]

Welcome back!!! For the record all of your videos are superbly put together. Not only educational but always fun to watch. I subscribe to alot of MD channels but you clearly put more time ,thought and effort into each video. Don't let the haters win👍

[@johnyardley520]

I'm really glad that you are making videos again. I figured it had to be done kind of issue on why you quit making videos. My son and I really missed them . We really enjoy your videos because they are very well put together, and super informative. You are very thorough in your approach in all that you do it seems. You just do you as much as you want. We will watch the videos regardless. We really really appreciate the time and effort put into making your vids. Keep yourself happy in whatever you do!! So glad you are back!! Thank you!!

[@PJsCoinCapers]

Really happy to see your video pop back up on my feed. It was a nice surprise. I love the way you film your videos, you are very gifted and I find them very easy to watch. Thanks for your honesty. No pressure, just film when you can. I'm still looking forward to the next adventure. Thanks PJ

[@michaelkeen3009]

Glad to see your videos again. Your videos helped me a lot when I first started detecting. You take the time to explain what you are hearing & seeing on the Equinox so keep up the great videos when you can.

[@geraldwilson8004]

Great Video!! You keep making videos,I keep watching,don't let anyone get you down

[@Airmet_Tango]

Glad to see you back at it, SNS - and always a joy watching your detecting vids. I don’t care if you’re finding Wheaties or gold coins, I just feel like I’m out on a hunt with you. Quality production, and honest presentation throughout. Anytime you’re out in NW Ohio/Toledo area, I’d be glad to host you for a hunt in person! In the meantime, I look forward to seeing any of your future hunts you choose to share.

[@brucefrazeur3172]

Enjoy your hunts the finale is always the best and thank you. From other comments I agree Family and you first.

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Thanks for taking the time to make the clip. Great info you give on using the machine. Cheers

[@REDGTA]

Always enjoy your videos. Lots of hard work when you just want to dig. Thank you for making them.

[@goldendreams4215]

Cool video. I’d be happy with those finds. I’m in a very brushy area on the Oregon coast so a lot of good ground is inaccessible - like any rain forest I suppose. Those open fields would be a vacation. I’m in thumbs up too.

[@valerieloeffler6174]

Great buckle!! Welcome back. Once in a while, we have to stop and re-prioritize our lives. I'm glad that metal detecting is still a part of your life and thank you for sharing it with us.

[@dennisgrzenia4076]

I really enjoy your videos. I really like that you show numbers on the machine and show a lot of live digs. Videos that just cut from find to find get boring very quickly. Don’t let the negative nellys get you down.

[@appalachianauditor2452]

No matter how often the videos are we’re gonna follow! Don’t let negative folks out there destroy your passion for one of the greatest hobbies out there!! Keep me coming brother!

[@bartleylitts3112]

I'm really glad to see that you're back and Alive! I understand completely what you're saying, everyone's an expert until they find out what it takes to do these things! Looking forward to seeing future videos! Thanks Bart

[@dagwoodacid]

Glad you are back! You have my favorite channel on KZbin! I cannot comprehend anyone leaving negative comments- We appreciate your efforts, knowledge and inspiration!

[@billyparker9210]

Happy to see you back. Just know that most of us appreciate how much you put into this. Do whatever you need to for you and your family. Praying for you and know that many of us are learning so much from you. Thank you Kenny.

[@NHGUIDE88]

Thank you for always explaining how you set up your machine! glad to see you back on!

[@switchblade4502]

I was legitimately concerned about your well being after 6-8 months of no uploads. You are one of my favorite KZbinrs. Welcome back and keep up the fun videos. I appreciate the hard work you put in. Don't be a stranger!

[@jimweber5323]

Happy you are back, keep up the great work, don't let the idiots get you down.

[@BlueHuntsCoins]

Great to see a new video out! What I like about your videos is how you walk us through settings and how you explain your finds. Thank you!

[@TheJoshMarquart]

Glad you are back and I completely understand setting some boundaries and making it work better for you. I enjoy your videos and learn from them. Whatever the cadence, I'll watch. Best of luck hunting.

[@oldgoat7856]

Glad your back, I have health problems and cannot enjoy this great hobby in person. I really look forward to your videos. Take care of yourself first but we love you channel. I began detecting in the mid 80s and have had some great finds. I imagine myself in the field with you and enjoy every find. God Bless

[@mikiehenson1968]

Glad to see you back I love watching your videos

[@tomsullivan5006]

Just caught your First Hunt in Awhile Kenny and enjoyed it. Missed seeing your video posts and have appreciated each and every one of them. Thank you for sacrificing and sharing your hunts with everyone. As you can see, you are a source of encouragement and education for so many of us. Hope you can hang in there.

[@Johnny-RR]

You put out well put together and informative videos. And looking down the comments you have a fantastic following of good people that are interested in the hobby and the history behind the things you find. Keep doing what your doing we all appreciate it.. all the best..

[@larrystephens7437]

I have the utmost respect to anyone that takes the time and effort to produce a quality video. I for one have missed seeing your effort in action and fully understand.

[@paulandresen8671]

Glad your back ! Always watch your vids when they come in. Glad to see your ok !

[@bigglesworth5283]

I'll take a wheat any day of the week. You know that someone was there. Saw that 92 Barber dime on your next video as well as the 2 LC's. That's what it is all about Kenny. You sift through history one hunt at a time. I've gone for weeks with nothing, then out of the blue the finds just arrive. Posting is a real bear. Gave it up over a year ago. As you, I just can't squeeze it in. But you keep it up. You're doing great. I'll take anything you can put out with "Glee". And the Nox 800 ROCKS! I love that machine!

[@piedmontartifacts8910]

Glad to see you Kenny, I’ve missed your vids and your style. Give us a hunt whenever you can. I’ve been busy myself and not swinging as much. Gl Buddy. Kenny

[@gregbuehrer5955]

One of the first things I noticed. Who are these 1/10th percentage people who give your efforts a thumbs down? Always will be a scant few that are jealous or don't understand what you know and do, but even Saints have haters. To us that enjoy your style and manner, that's the 1000 : 1 numbers of thumbs up. Been metal detecting 10 years and enjoy every video you have done, let alone, learned things I've never thought about on my own. Thanks.

[@ZaneHaecherl]

Great to see you Squirrel! I'm glad your back. Life can be difficult but never give up! I believe that brass cup is a candle holder, it was attached to a tray at the bottom and a handle went from the tray to the cup. I have a picture if you want me to email it. Again, great to see you..

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

Square nail squirrel at gmail , thank you.

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

No spaces

[@frankheinrichs515]

Welcome back, hope you have a great 2020. Have always enjoyed your videos.

[@smokeydk7712]

Glad to see you back....enjoyed your videos...from Land downunder

[@kurtherbstreit6397]

Dude, glad to see your back, I was glad to see you posted a new video. Do what you can when you can. I always enjoy your videos and learn a lot about detecting from you

[@yerdigginitmetaldetecting]

Welcome back! Not sure what happened but your absence was surely noticed. I fully understand the amount of time it takes to create a quality video and appreciate what you do ... love your commentary, the way you show the setup and the finds. It’s all good stuff but you have to keep it fun for yourself too, you don’t want to turn your hobby into a chore. Peace brother. 😎⚒

[@caseykastl2854]

Welcome back. I was pumped to see you had a new video uploaded. You're one of my favorites to watch, as do a great job on all your vids. Whenever you make a video I'll watch it. Thank you.

[@mrshadow37]

First, welcome back; you were missed. Your videos are amazing; let me explain: Your videos are done with class, they are informative. They explain things like settings, ground conditions, and many other variations that come with metal detecting. I understand, and agree, time is important; it's something we can never get back, once it's gone! Family takes precedence above anything else. For me, it;s GOD, family, and then metal detecting. No matter what you do, or where you go, there will always be naysayers and people who do nothing but criticize and complain; hopefully, you won't let them get under your skin. Thanks again for coming back; I truly enjoy your videos and it keeps me from bouncing off the walls while recovering from have my knee scoped. Take care my friend, and keep doing what you do.

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

Thank you very much Brian.. I appreciate your support and kind words. :)

[@detectingsmiths9350]

I am glad to see you back. I certainly understand how time consuming KZbin can be and the effort that goes into the channel. You do you, brother. The true and loyal fans will be here. TC&HH

[@badgers3255]

I just came across your channel a week ago and I have to state that you have the best MD videos I watch. Not only is your camera work good, the setup and showing what you do vs. just finding Spanish Silver and all the old stuff other videos show. How you hunt is very similar to what I do from finding a spot, asking permission, and MDing. I hope there are more videos to come and even if it is only 2/year, darn right I will be watching. Thank you for your hard work!

[@johnh6816]

Just want to say you are an inspiration. Love the fact that you put out the good and more common finds. This has been an encouragement for me to keep going out. The quality of your videoes show how much effort you put in on and off camera. Glad to have you back.

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

Thank you John.

[@oducks8097]

Welcome back. I really appreciate your work and your knowledge of the 'Box. I'm glad I subscribed last year. You're worth the wait.

[@sammorran2536]

This is the first you tube video I have EVER commented on, I usually hit the like button,subscribe, thats it,Ihave to tell you that of all the people who put out videos,yours are allways my" go too" vids,I appreciate the no bs approach,showing us your settings while you do them,all of your vids are thoughtfully done and informative,like having your best friend show you the ropes,you are appreciated,persevere my friend...Sam

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

Thank you Sam for your kind comments and support... it is greatly appreciated.

[@nodisrespect6060]

Hey man. You do great work. I watch alot of videos like this but you sir are the most gentlemen of them all. Very informative and knowledgeable as well.

[@devin4265]

Happy to see you back! Love your videos and your editing skills are awesome man!!! Looking forward to more, whenever you can.

[@802OutdoorAdventures]

I can't believe anyone would have anything but good things to say about this channel. I like the way you show the numbers and explain everything through. Nice style for sure. You're doing great, keep it up.

[@ThePowrsurg]

Hey man, glad you are back. You are one of the few you tubers using the 800 and watching your videos has helped me a lot. Ignore the negative energy and stick with what you love.

[@dnth8rel8]

Glad to see you on here again. I hope you and your family are doing well. Thank you for taking your time to make videos for us.

[@jennifersharp7151]

Welcome back. We love your videos

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

Thank you 🙂

[@richardv750]

Welcome back 🐿Your metal detecting videos are the best on youtube. Appreciate the effort you put into making them, I can tell you put a lot of time into each one. Look forward to the next episode.

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

Thank you Richard.. greatly appreciated.

[@orkakayaking4441]

Glad your back at it. Don’t worry what others think, it’s about you and you family. Was great to listen in and pick you brain in Relics Radio podcast. Keep up the good work. If you ever run out of spots or get to the Lima area hit me up, I’ve got several 1835-1880 properties to hit

[@alberends4845]

Glad to see your video also I am a wood turner And just started metal detecting. 👍

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

We have a lot in common 🙂

[@ronalddvorak1967]

Glad to see you back, I always liked the way you did your videos.

[@robinkhan7468]

Just happened to see your vid for the first time on the news feed. I see you as someone with a great personality, a mutual interest, and a strong and caring connection to your viewers. Perhaps the winter has gotten us all in the downsies. I shall become a new subscriber and I sure wish you better days ahead with exciting finds. We could all use good company, inspiration, and hope, despite the struggles and negativity around us.

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

Thank you for subscribing Robin. I can tell though text, which is hard, that your words are very genuine. I appreciate that.

[@James-lj7rm]

Family first, you second, then everything else. If a "joy" becomes a "chore" you have to decide. Make a video when you can, I will be patient to see it.

[@flthunderdigginwrob3162]

James, agree totally!!!

[@lj9911]

Concur!

[@jubalsackett9490]

Took the words out of my mouth. Do what you can when you can- I will enjoy the videos when you get them out.

[@DugMcClure]

So glad to see you back. I swing a Nox as well and appreciate your set ups and tips, and your research/expertise also. Do what suits you. I hunt, but would never produce videos because I know how much work can be required. I’d never give up my hunting time to publish videos, but I APPRECIATE you taking the time!

[@davidshaw7454]

Great to see you back ! I understand your comments at the end of your video ! You take care of you and yours first !!

[@xjcrossx]

I didn't know you took a break because I am new to your channel, but I agree with the comments in _this_ video about your videos being great. I was just showing my lady the videos of you asking people's permission at their house. Been trying to get her interested. Just need one good find for her and she'd be hooked. I love your videos and appreciate them. Look forward to seeing more, when you have the time!

[@norvalgreenwold7822]

I really enjoy your videos. Your frankness is refreshing. You don't sugar coat stuff! Metal detecting alone can be a grind, and then you have some internet a-holes that love to pile it on. Keep a stiff upper lip, and push through the negativity! Till the next video, please carry on sir....

[@raymondcota6948]

It’s beyond me how someone can say something negative about your videos. You are BY FAR my favorite and trust me when I say I follow more than plenty. About an hour ago when I noticed you we’re back, I couldn’t click on this video fast enough! I’ve heard NOTHING BUT GREAT COMMENTS from others on your vids, not to mention all the people who were really upset that your videos stopped. Honestly brother, I feel you’re the best out there. I hope you continue with the amazing videos but totally respect you wanting to keep a solid home life too. Again, THANK YOU for all your hard work with each video and keep rocking with the Equinox!

[@xphelanx]

I've missed your videos, glad to see you getting back out there. I'll watch them as often as you put them out. Thank you.

[@baystateplugflipper7061]

Great video man. I was wondering where you went. Don’t let the negative folks run you off, they’re everywhere and are of little consequence. Like my mom used to say, “ consider the source”. If they have nothing better to do than hate on you, just imagine how empty and unfulfilling their lives truly are. Think positive, positive things happen. Looking forward to the next video!! Great to see you back at it!!

[@rickeverett7416]

Great to see you you back. I try not to read in the comments much, but I completely understand your position. You always deliver high production and really helpful videos and tips as well as settings and answers to questions. All that said I’ll keep checking for the videos you do put out. Thank you so much for all the ones you have put out as they have really helped me out with getting into the hobby as well as the settings and research I put into it.

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

Very glad to hear I can positively impact your hobby.. I try my best. Take care and good luck on your next hunt.

[@segametaldetecting4309]

Good for you bud. Life balance. We love seeing your videos and we will continue to appreciate what amount of time you give us.

[@jeremymetzger4007]

Your videos are next to none.! I have learned a lot from your hints about the equinox. Thanks for the video.

[@ArnieT1958]

Have always appreciated your videos, thank-you for your help an the great videos you post!! Sorry too hear about the BS!!! I too have a wood lathe fun turning, but with spring comin time too hit the fields!! Best of luck too you this year!! Signed a fan of yours here in Maine!!!

[@davidaustin5882]

Don’t quit! Your videos are great, there are so many out there that are lame but yours are the best. Don’t be defeated!

[@ronjenkins5156]

Glad to see you back Kenny! You’ve been missed. I appreciate your time and effort in these videos.. Welcome back!!!

[@edwardwoods5060]

Good to see you back, people are always gonna complain when they don't see what they want you to dig, you bring reality to this hobby there's gonna be days or even weeks where we don't find much good relics or coins that's the hobby. Keep up the good work.

[@johncitrano8309]

Glad you're back. I enjoy your videos because of the way you narrate them. You provide very helpful information on your detector settings, your location history and your hunts are real life hunts instead of just highlight reels. Thanks for the work you put into them. Keep up the good work and best wishes.

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

Thank you John :)

[@henrymiller3000]

Glad to see you back, your videos are always enjoyable to me. Thanks

[@duanerichardson5405]

So glad to see you back. I had wondered what happened to ya.its been awhile.glad to see your still swinging the Nox. Great to have ya back.

[@wranglerextreme]

Dude I enjoy watching your videos over all the others. Very professional and there’s no BS. Sad you sold the v3i simply because I have one and I really liked your tips and pointers. You know as well as I do that machine is a complex one. Don’t get discouraged with the negative stuff on here. Lots of keyboard warriors that sit behind a computer day in and day out brainstorming on who they can put down next. Keep on keeping on brother

[@computergrant1]

Hey Kenny, great seeing you again! Glad you are back out there for us! Making and editing videos takes a lot of time out of one's day/week. In the beginning last year, I was all gung-ho about doing videos, but there's a lot into it. I, personally, don't hardly do any editing because I only have my phone. So, what you see is what you get. Lastly, people can be so cruel. They're SITTING at home, and yet they want to criticize. Take care my friend!

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

Thank you for your support. Don’t let just having a phone stop you from making video because that is all I use is my iPhone X

[@markdoehrman5855]

Amazing videos you put out there Kenny! Man i tell you, if i had to choose only one metal detecting program to watch, it would be yours. I cannot explain it, but you're video's are really unique. Maybe its in the way you are taking us there with you. Keep up the great work Kenny!

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

Thank you Mark, greatly appreciate it

[@FloridaNox]

Glad you are back! One of my favorite channels on KZbin. 👍

[@williammetcalfe1791]

I agree 💯 with all the good karma u got to be feeling from your fan base. Glad to see u back ..take notice,not a single,no vote..best of luck with your endeavors for 2020:-):-)

[@jim-do5pt]

Thanks! Glad you returned...! But, don't make videos a chore, just for us...! Take care!

[@luisvillarreal5262]

Hello Kenny. I'm glad you're back buddy. The work you put into you're videos really shows. Great quality and the wrap up in the end is "the icing on the cake" with that awesome adventurous music. I understand how this can get overwhelming. This reason has always prevented me from making my own videos. Thanks for spending a part of your life with us. Much enjoyed and appreciated. H.H. _/

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

It has been a learning experience all the way through.. so many facets to making video.

[@robertbenton6649]

Bought my first detector last year when Gander Mt was going out of business. “Delta 4000” I use it to find lost arrow at archery contest. Learning to use it has been easier with the help of experience from videos like yours, keep up the good work at your pace.

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

I wish Gander Mountain didn't go out of business.. really like that store. Glad to hear the videos are helping out with your hunt. :)

[@mikelego9362]

All your videos have help me also, I just got me nox and I love it. Wish I live closer to you because I would like to hunt with you. I hope you are well 🤨

[@cowboygeologist7772]

Thanks for taking us along. Any find is a good find. New subscriber.

[@kewphotog]

It's so great to see you posting videos again! Truth be told I have not gone swinging since last October And this video is the first MD vid I've watched since then. I think you might have just inspired me to charge up my Nox and go hunting

[@roberttucker1553]

You hang in there and keep the videos coming. I always watch yours because you talk clearly and your camera focuses properly. They are all good videos and I try and watch the ones that I can learn from! thanks !!!

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

You wouldn’t believe the ride it’s been trying to figure out how to make decent video... such a battle. I might even make a guide some day so it will help folks out.

[@scottdunbar4898]

I for one appreciate the time and effort that goes into making these videos. Thanks for all that you do.

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

👍🏻🙂

[@rogerbublitz1722]

Glad to see your back !!! Thanks for showing us your set-up on your machine. You will always have haters no matter where you go. I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into making your videos. I've always said if you never done a particular task you don't have any right to complain. I've never made a video. Keep up the good work !!!

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

Thanks Roger... my setup pretty much stays the same. The variable that’s changes it the most would be dense versus not dense target fields. Recovery, bias and accepted ID’s are what changes.

[@shock1c]

I have been watching your videos for several months, but just recently subscribed. I learn alot from your videos and it makes me excited of what I can possibly find. I've been detecting for two years now and think its a gift from God that we get to use this technology. I'm having a blast! Hope you continue to make videos for a very long time.

[@RamRod_goes_treasure_hunting]

Good to see you back! I look forward to watching your videos! I'm a fellow Nox 800 user as well and it's awesome to watch what you find! No matter what we do in life we will have critics! Who cares about the negative comments! See you in the next video!

[@davidrayle3140]

I was pleasantly surprised to see you back this morning. and have been worried that you might have had a personal issue that led to the break in videos. Your effort to provide well thought out high quality edited video with no junk between digs is appreciated. I've watched all of your videos and I'm not sure what people could be complaining about. Some people are so filled with hate that they can't find the close button on their web browser when they don't like something, but yet they have the energy to type destructive comments.

[@maritimemongo01]

My wife and I really enjoy your videos! Like most of the comments I've read, you keep it real and family friendly, which I appreciate. As far as the negative comments, to heck with them. Don't let the naysayers bother you brother! Your videos are very fun to watch and your research techniques are worthy of a book. Keep up the great videos brother! BtW, nice sticker on your coffee cup.

[@metaldetectingwiththesilva8311]

Oh my goodness, glad to see your alive and kicking mate :) You do a great job making video's, more power to you and screw the haters :)

[@DIGOLOGIST]

I feel you man on the effort it takes to put out a great video, then the views are few or the comments are negative. I put a lot of work into my Halloween video and it did not do as well as I had hope. Just remember that you do this because you love the hobby and creating great content and the people will come so , don't stress. Glad to see you out there. Good luck and happy hunting.

[@MetalPirateGirl]

Rock On nice to see you look forward to any videos you can put out. Take care of you and the family
