[@jackieb.hedstrom5269]

Thanks for answering my questions about your personal lives. I’m an older noisy woman who loves your show, so don’t think I’m some stalker or something. I grew up with 4 brothers and their various friends,so your group interactions really take me back to my childhood days:-). I kinda figured out about Bill. I’m sorry he is going though such sorrow. Depression is a horrible disease, and it can take a while to figure out the best treatments. I appreciate what a good friend you are for him. Just continue to encourage him. God bless all of you.

[@thehooverboys]

Thank you for the support Jackie. That’s always the plan. God bless

[@bowiecountymetaldetectors2073]

thanks from all the guys from Bowie county metal detecting for all the work you do on the videos kurt you keep use wanting to be out digging so keep them coming

[@thehooverboys]

My pleasure! Thanks for the support!

[@cecoya]

Love that inlay brooch I bet it was worn with some pride being handed down from member to member in the family. The ring was nice too. Happy digging and eat your lunch.

[@robertthompsonii6657]

I would like to say thank you for showing all your finds. Nail, foil, pull tabs all of it. I love channels that show coin after coin but it sets unrealistic exceptions lol! You guys reveal the detecting hobby for what it really is! DIG IT ALL!!!

[@thehooverboys]

Thank you for the support! We appreciate it

[@bethbartlett5692]

Great finds Kurt! That GW button was sweet! Congrats to all of you and thanks for taking time to make and share the awesome videos. ATB.

[@riverstone1942]

16:16 is an incredible find... my favorite find of the video! I dug a 1910 once but it was nowhere near as nice as yours. Way to go!

[@mauriliozamora6627]

That is a beautiful Standing Liberty Brad found and that package of cool coins you got was awesome. Great hunt guys [

[@alwaysseekingsilver]

Great finds, guys. I love finding a few goodies at permissions that have been hunted by multiple others. Congrats, Kurt on the half reale, and to Brad on that superb specimen 1919 SLQ.

[@threefortytwo23]

Thanks!

[@LouHue]

[@thehooverboys]

Thank you for the support!

Man I look forward to these videos. Great job as usual fellas. HH and thanks for sharing with us.

[@dirtpickingusa8786]

Sweet set of hunts Kurt, that pin or brooch you found at 16:49 is called a "micro mosaic" I have found a couple pieces through out the years. It is made from blown glass, they pull multi color rods of it out and cut the pieces and lay them out as a mosaic.

[@thehooverboys]

Thanks for the info!

[@garym2020]

Great finds, great video as always. Enjoyed!

[@IrisFinch1930]

Nice finds and thank you for sharing them. Take care!

Thanks for another great video, you guys are fantastic to watch. I enjoy seeing you find cool stuff but the joy and real enthusiasm that you show when out detecting is just awesome :) I just love watching you guys having a great time. Detecting with you guys would be so much fun! You remind me of myself and my mates out detecting.

[@thehooverboys]

Thanks Alan! Fun is most important

[@HarryCHAMBZ]

Another sweet vid Kurt. They are exciting to watch and are edited well. A local guy here found a GWI last year. Im up in NH by the way. Ive only been detecting for a few weeks (new to the hobby) and Ive found 4 large cents, a flat button, and strange cameo pin? It doesnt look like your cameo, smaller ivory face. No silver yet. Found my first toe tapper too! My father just dug a very nice 2 piece Connecticut State Seal Civil War button. Im hooked.

[@thehooverboys]

Thank you Harry! You live in copper country. You will dig many many more. Great finds for such a shirt amout of time. It's very addicting. I'm obsessed. Hahaha. Best of luck to you!

[@anthonywagstaff]

Great episode guys! Thanks for sharing!

[@metaldetectingtasmania6740]

[@chadscottification]

Great SLQ Brad!! I love that key too Kurt. Both are killer display pieces. Cheers

[@chadscottification]

Lol. Sorry brother. I know I've been blowing you up in the comments. Really appreciate you responding to every one of them. Again, best channel on KZbin. If you guys are ever in Western Mass, would love to host you guys. Cheers. Please, keep the vids coming!! Got snow last night, worst time of the year smh. Merry Christmas. Lol

[@thehooverboys]

Thank you for the kind words and support. Id love to dig Mass some day. Happy holidays

[@michaelolsen2348]

The odds of finding that GW button are what?.........hundreds of millions to 1? Golly! What a great find!

[@kaylaridge6991]

The Hoover Boys 7

[@njther2649]

Awesome...I have the pleasure of knowing two people that have found complete sets of 4 GW buttons at two different sites here in NJ. They just blow me away and I can only hope to find one someday. Congrats!!

[@thehooverboys]

Wow! That's incredible John. I want one so bad myself. Good luck digging yours

[@hillbillyfromwv4344]

You know, WalMart closing was the best thing that ever happened to you guys, out of the comfort zone and into some amazing sites and permissions that transitioned from IHPs to Spanish and awesome coins/relics regularly...Nice digs, love the skeleton key and SLQ.

[@thehooverboys]

Definitely out of our comfort zone! It's been a crazy fun year. We still miss Walmart dearly

[@RelicDetective0128]

ANOTHER PRIME EXAMPLE OF NEVER HUNTED OUT..... GREAT HUNT LOVE THOSE RANDOM PERMISSIONS

[@LaGold]

I'm waiting to see my first GW button in person! I'm in awe f any person who digs a GW! Dave Wise is an OG GW button hoarder! He has left an extreme shortage for the rest of us to dig! As always very entertaining video! Keep at it brother! GL and HH!

[@thehooverboys]

Awesome finds all around! Congrats to Andrew on that great button! An even bigger congrats to Brad for riding that tricycle!! Thanks for the shout out! Hope that pizza was delish!

[@thehooverboys]

Hahaha! Brad can do a lot of weird tricks. My pleasure! It was delicious. Homemade

[@davidseeburger8448]

Another great video. Thank-you!

[@StanSummers]

Great hunts! Love your video's.

[@andynunez9153]

Love it! Great silver for Brad (no surprise). That was probably the most worn half reale I have ever seen. It goes to show that the scarcity of silver coins until silver mines out west kept old coins like that in circulation for decades, at least until 1856 when they no longer were legal tender. They're cutting corn down here on the Shore, so keep your fingers crossed!

[@threefortytwo23]

crossssssed!

[@thehooverboys]

Thanks Andy! I think my first half Reale is worse. But I love them both. Looking forward to meeting again. Been too long

[@Wess-S]

Man, watching all these videos make me miss living in Maryland. 20:43 that SLQ 😱😱😱 gorgeous coin! I need to buy a metal detector and visit my brother in Taneytown.

[@DigginwithSeven]

Congrats on back-to-back Reales. Love the skeleton key and dog tax tag. Brad's SLQ is sick! Good job guys. Love the "All Holes Matter."

[@baltimorebottledigger3900]

My first skeleton key. I had to show it off. Another great video Kurt amazing finds. Wait til you see what I ate for lunch on my next video yummy for my tummy!! Then hours later doing some curbstripes fully manicured curbstripes. I get jumped by 3 neighbors broke my backup glasses and then called the cops on me. What a day detecting gotta love it in Baltimore. As always thanks for sharing!!!!!

[@thehooverboys]

Damn! Crazy day Paul

[@Frank-tl9ih]

Another reale, your on a roll, love the skull key and dog tag, and of course Brads sweet SLQ another great video from the hoover boys...

[@tennesseegem1063]

Good hunts and some sweet finds.

[@spectrumbill6775]

There is no proper way to say "THANK YOU" for all your excellent work and for facing danger drag racing in a rain storm in doing so (it looked pretty real anyway). Congratulations on some great finds this week - I'll miss seeing you at next week's treasure show in Massachusetts. Thanks again for a wonderful evening.

[@thehooverboys]

Hahaha! Thank you Bill! Sucks I had to miss that one. Hope it was a blast

[@wadoman699]

You fellows must be near my old stomping grounds. I was born on Aberdeen Proving Grounds (1951). Must be good detecting around there. Used to find arrowheads on the grounds overlooking the bay. Good luck. Would like to get back and dig some.

[@thehooverboys]

Never dug Aberdeen. If you say arrowheads Brad is listening. Hahaha. It's good anywhere along the bay. HH

[@kabehorsley8995]

love that navy button. see you next week.

[@tombstonefpv9053]

Another great one Kurt, awesome finds. I'd really like to add a skeleton key to my collection, but it keeps eluding me. Never know, it could be in the next hole, that's what keeps us going. Thanks

[@thehooverboys]

Thanks Jeremy! They ring up lower than expected. Rep hey always surprise me. You'll get one when you least expect it. Good luck

[@JokerThaToker]

Nice to see some MD hunters on KZbin. I’m in PA and new to the detecting world.

[@thehooverboys]

Thanks Joe. Best of luck

[@juliegriffin7609]

Nice video! Love the skeleton key!

[@kathleenjohns5220]

Loved Andy's GW find. The pin you found is millefiori or micromosaic - often made in Italy and collected by many people. I remember when Brad fit on a tricycle....

[@threefortytwo23]

Good, so you remember last week... b/c I still fit on a tricycle.

[@thehooverboys]

Thanks Momma Johns! Hahahaha Brad

[@deepbeeps]

I also found a GW chicken button. It is the only thing I have ever found that I don't still have. I sold it to a GW museum in New York. Sometimes I wish I wouldn't have, but I am glad it is on display for people to see. The weird thing is, I found it at the foundation of an old one room school. How in the world did it get there?

[@thehooverboys]

Wow! Too cool. It’s crazy we’re we find some things

[@wingrider8770]

I looked through some of the comments but didn't look at them all so if someone already said this sorry. At 11:26 your showing some finds and it appears to be an aircraft inspection plate off of a fabric covered aircraft and possibly a wheel cover or hub cap also from a aircraft. Maybe a little aviation history to the field as well. Good finds thanks for sharing

[@littledirtdiggers]

Enjoyed the video! Love the key! 🗝

[@thehooverboys]

Thank you Emily! Best of luck to you and your daddy

[@digginghistory7]

[@keithwhite9137]

I always say great video, but it's about time I said more. I love the videos, they are one of the best things of my week. You guys do it in style, so entertaining and your enthusiasm is infectious. Thank you so much for taking the time to make a weekly video. I absolutely love watching you boys on your hunts. Thank you, thank you, thank you

[@thehooverboys]

Damn Keith. Thank you for the kind words and support. It's getting harder and harder to keep up with it all. Comments like this keep me going

[@keithwhite9137]

People don't realise how much time goes into these videos, but for me it feels like buddies across the sea, friends and kindred spirits. You make the BEST videos Kurt. and I am so grateful for your efforts and taking the time to publish them. If I ever get Stateside I'll join you on a hunt. It would be a privilege. Eat your lunch buddy

[@Wwally]

Holy WOW! Congrats to the dude with the GW button. I made it out once this summer and it was a bust. I do have a sweet property in my pocket to dig soon, might even record this one. As always great video and congrats on the digs.

[@thehooverboys]

Thanks Wayne! I'm so happy the weather is starting to break. Love fall digging. Good luck at the new site. If you need and help let me know. Hehe

May not be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but there sure is some Spanish silver. As always good hunting, nice finds and awesome sites. Extra congrats to the guy with the GW button. Why is brad always standing up? I've still yet to find one, or a Skeleton Key.. Keep @ it and HH !!

[@thehooverboys]

Hahaha. I hope one day the pot of gold will show up. Brad just has a nose for them. I've only dug 2 SLQ's in my life. He probably has 5 this year. I love skeleton keys. You'll get yours. Best of luck
