Only use water on silver... it will likely ruin anything else... use a soft toothbrush or a non-sharp toothpick... AquaChigger has a great video on cleaning coins...

[@randywiggins1248]

Nice. Why not wait till home and clean instead of rubbing coin and just insert that footage at find? The tokens did not seen to clean up to well.

[@antiquesandclocks.inc.8368]

Well I mean they need to find out what it is before cleaning it up because it might be a fragile detailed coin or token so they need to clean it up now then when they get home they'll clean it up

[@antiquesandclocks.inc.8368]

And sometimes they get too excited

[@chip5256]

Recently I got permission to hunt a lot in downtown Fernandina Beach, Fl whose history goes back to the 1600s. A house and restaurant had been on this lot and I harvested a pistol, knife, horseshoe, union and Confederate Minie and musket balls, 4 axe heads including a broad axe. And wheat, Indian Heads ( as old as 1864 my first fatty), Barber dimes and quarters and seated dimes and 2 half dimes. Thought I was through but then they tore out about 50 feet of sidewalk. Got another Minie ball but then a 1718 Reale!!! My oldest coin.

[@kayesdigginit1519]

Congrats on some really awesome finds. I'm envious but very happy for you 👍😀

2 ore is a Norwegian coin...saw many of them when I was a deployed Marine to the Arctic while training with British Royal Marines and the Norwegian Home Guard...awesome country....!!***UPDATE*** I guess Sweden too...didn't know that...

Amazing coins even the foreign coins are amazing!

[@WILLBDIGGIN]

Man I love sidewalk tear outs! And that Courthouse 🤯 keeps giving up the goods!

[@GreatOutdoorsDetecting]

Thanks for stopping by Brandon! I don't know what it is with that courthouse. It seems like new targets just keep appearing out of nowhere lol

[@cajunlane3191]

Why do you guys not put a soft bristle toothbrush in your pocket for detecting?

[@CatchingFins]

Not many things are more thrilling than playing the “one dime” game! Great hunts again as usual. Your ever increasing skills in this hobby make me a proud uncle:)

[@GreatOutdoorsDetecting]

Thanks uncle Bob!! That was at the park where you found the 1891 seated dime and Mike found the barber half on our trip in 2017

[@davidpoppenhagen4278]

Bucket of water maybe? For swishing the coins in. Fun finding old coins.😊 Even funny money.

[@roycemccarthy5771]

Upon retrieving the find from the ground, instead of rubbing your glove over it causing possible damage.Why not bring a gallon jug with a sprayer on it.

[@wbenken7655]

Gloves are overkill.

[@FlyzButter]

Omg you're killing me with that spray bottle

[@beepkeeper1496]

Awesome video and awesome finds!!! Loved the merc! That is one coin I have been hunting for ages and can’t seam to find! I will probably lose it Once I finally dig my first merc!!

[@GreatOutdoorsDetecting]

Thanks man! That's crazy that you haven't found a Merc! They are usually easier to find than rosies since they minted them for so long

[@beepkeeper1496]

I know right!! I’ve found more rosies then I can count but for some reason those darn mercs are my white whales!!

[@kayesdigginit1519]

Okay I love the video. I love that y'all found some great coins and such but why do you not use soft toothbrushes to clean some of your items instead of rubbing them? It pained me and I'm brand new to the detecting hobby; I've watched hundreds of these videos and that's one thing I've read about is don't rub 👎 I'm sorry is I'm being harsh 😞

[@SouthCarolinaRelichunters]

[@jennycooper7184]

Are courthouses public property? Who do you ask for permission?

[@PotterCountyDiggers]

Jenny Cooper I got with my county commissioners. 👍🏻

[@sandman4224]

You are killing the IHPs this year especially at the court house! I am at 45, all in public spaces (way too shy for permissions), hoping to get more than 52 to top my buddy's record. You know how it is with bragging rights :)

[@GreatOutdoorsDetecting]

Nice man! I think last year I got over 100 indians. It's so strange because they seem to be all over the place out here in the Midwest, but when I lived in Texas I would only find like 3 or 4 a year.

[@danniethamer7936]

Great hunt, Zach! I Like Jim's tokens. Gratz to all of you. You killed it!

[@GreatOutdoorsDetecting]

Thanks Dan! I appreciate it! This was out by where we met up with you

[@danniethamer7936]

@@GreatOutdoorsDetecting That"s cool. I had a great time there and would like to do something like that again.

[@larrysorenson4789]

In our little midwestern town when they took out the broken concrete sidewalks underneath were cobblestones. They were restored. A year later they also exposed the cobblestone streets and granite curbs. These too were restored. The change is amazing and roadway speeds have dropped considerably. Charming again in Ohio.

[@kydo97]

it just goes to show how deep the rest of the targets in the yard probably are. good recoveries and videos too.

[@GreatOutdoorsDetecting]

Thanks Jeff! Thats what I was thinking. If they took off the top 8 inches of soil in that yard there would probably be some amazing items that come up.

[@brianquilty687]

Great video Zack ! It's amazing how that courthouse produces. Must have been a busy place back in the day.

[@GreatOutdoorsDetecting]

Thanks Brian! Yeah I can only imagine what went on on those courthouse grounds for there to be so many old coins and tokens. It's been an incredible spot

[@jerrydineen2827]

I wish I had a metal detector, or hopefully get to borrow one for a few days. I live in Oregon and suspect that there are many spots near Troutdale and Gresham, primarily at the Sandy River, that are just littered with coin and jewelry and other cool stuff.

Hi guys I wanted to give you what my eyes are seeing on the second token. It does have a wagon but at the top I believe it says Swiss premium or above premium is the date 1867 under the wagon it says Paris 1887 Philadelphia. I put my glasses on to take a close look. It’s a really cool token/coin

The coin you found at 13:35 is a Swedish coin I believe. 2 ORE. except the the 'O' has two dots over it like in German. I have an old one too from when I was an exchange student near Stockholm. It's less than a full crown (our dollar), like our quarter. if that makes sense.

[@markkus1134]

Q is legit. Don't trust the media. You want a new one? Or used? Check out Treasure finds website they have a huge following and a great classified I would look for a used equinox 600 or a used XP ORX I use a equinox 800 and have some killer finds

[@143DREWID]

A shovel ! As I started with used detector to save money and test sincerity of interest. Thus I'd suggest the same. Then I sold the used too upgrade. Make and model depends on searching medium, colonial, fields, beach, lawns? I'd look on Ebay for used minelab Equinox 600, although I just looked and saw none. Best of luck for detector and detecting.
