Let’s go let’s go treasure 🌺💕✌️👵

[@keithmuncher9399]

Very nice hunt. Thanks for taking us along. I liked the red piece of pottery that you found.

[@IDigHistory]

Thanks for watching, Keith 👍

[@dogtagdoug6751]

Now that’s the kind of spot and history we love to find. That place could serve you well for years.

[@IDigHistory]

Absolutely

[@dogtagdoug6751]

If you didn’t check it out yet, check out Quarter Hoarder channel this week . Our first Spanish cob, with subsequent for uscobs in the next couple weeks. Just exciting time

[@IDigHistory]

@Dog Tag Doug I hadn't watched it yet, but just did!! Amazing find and hunt! I've watched you guys for a long time, appreciate you watching mine and commenting, Doug. Many thanks.

[@IDigHistory]

I just watched you dig your Cob!!! Awesome save and congrats! Loved watching your happiness at finding it.

[@santafedave1051]

Fabulous site I’m sure there is more ,consistent plowing can push objects far below the levels they would have naturally attained I would like too see some of your swinging occasionally otherwise I am extremely jealous!

[@IDigHistory]

Thanks Dave 👊🏽

[@HistoryintheHandMetalDetecting]

Great hunt, guys! I’m so envious of that sweet sandy soil…it’s so rocky up here in the mountains of Pennsylvania. You’ve got yourself a great spot there! Keep diggin' and Merry Christmas!

[@IDigHistory]

Merry Christmas! I'm envious of those old old sites in PA! I had the opportunity to dig one time up there and I had great hunt. Appreciate you watching and happy digs 👍

[@LonniePoe-rz5ko]

My wife and I just found your KZbin videos and thoroughly enjoy watching. We learn a great deal about history so thank you and we will keep watching!

[@IDigHistory]

Thanks so much for that comment Lonnie! Glad y'all enjoyed it and appreciate the feedback.

[@IDigHistory]

I don't think I did, lol! I have before though.

[@kennethlowe4293]

Awesome digs! Glad you and your brother can get out like that. Always make things better when you can share with someone.

[@IDigHistory]

Absolutely! We don't get to do it as much as I'd like, so I'm grateful for the hunts we have.

[@pauldilorenzo5530]

Awesome permission great job

[@IDigHistory]

[@cheaplaughkennedy2318]

[@davidgathman2320]

Awesome finds! Wish I could be there.

[@IDigHistory]

Thanks David!

[@jimpraefke8065]

Great hunt that is a great property I would love to detect something like that one day

[@IDigHistory]

Thanks Jim! Yeah, it's a great site for sure.

[@TheFinderGuy]

Solid day of detecting right there! I’m still waiting to find my first clay marble!

[@IDigHistory]

Thanks man! Hope you snag one soon!

[@raulanagnostopoulos2068]

I have been following on instagram and found your KZbin platform. Awesome video, will continue to watch as they come out. Have always been interested in history and you have really been able to explain and show quite a bit on the finds you make. Really nice, hope to get involved in detecting soon.

[@IDigHistory]

Appreciate that, Raul. It's a great hobby. Thanks for watching and I hope you get a chance to start detecting soon!

[@joemiller8965]

A lot of great relics! Congrats to both of you.

[@IDigHistory]

Thanks Joe!

[@lowrangeoverland9013]

outstanding💯❗🏆🥇

[@madcappap8711]

Great day hunting. Great video. All good saves, but that lead pecan was outstanding. Nice site you have there. Keep those videos coming. Take care and God Bless... Pap

[@IDigHistory]

Thanks Pap! Hope you're doing well and are getting the chance to get out and do some digging.

[@IDigHistory]

Thanks!

[@digginupthecarolinas9870]

Heck yeah man,awesome video dude,wish I was able to come down and hunt

[@IDigHistory]

Thanks man!

[@James-yx2ev]

Good job must be good soil great shape

[@IDigHistory]

Thanks James!

[@dalesandlin5188]

Sweet finds

[@IDigHistory]

Thanks Dale!

[@kennethmapes7217]

I think you missed something check 7:57 looks like a coin right on top of ground .

[@IDigHistory]

Wow, it sure looked like it!

[@DontDoDaylight]

My gosh… what a beautiful property! I’ve never even done real research on metal detecting, though I’ve recently gotten into silver/gold and coins in general. Always wanted a metal detector as a kid! Glad KZbin recommended this video to me. Still watching the beginning but very good production already. Edit: Wow! I had no idea that it would be possible to come across all of these cool finds in one outing! Marbles… I would’ve never guessed. I suppose it all comes down to the property that you have access to but man that’s sweet! I could totally see myself enjoying this hobby. Searching though your channel… you have a ton of great content! I’m obviously just ignorant but I would’ve thought that all these finds would have been destroyed or buried way deep below the surface after existing on a working farm for so long. Too cool!

[@IDigHistory]

Appreciate that great comment! Always love it when folks stumble on one of my videos and end up enjoying them. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! And you're absolutely correct, it's all about the site you're at.

[@joannewall5499]

That looks like some sort of dog tag is it possible from a soldier

[@e-vd]

What type of spray do you use to clean your finds in the field?

[@IDigHistory]

Just water.

[@Buckleboy]

Flat button is Ives & Kendrick

[@robertsorgmann9101]

Why did you put a reins guide in the trash?😊

[@IDigHistory]

I don't think I did, did I? 😳

[@Sean-i4r]

Oak Alley is a possible place they are.

[@diggingnashvegas]

Dude, i dug an L and Kendrick button in a union camp, lots of gold on it, just shows edge wear, was used by the navy i think

[@IDigHistory]

Outstanding! Congrats on a great save!

[@s_1020v]

I’m dying to go metal detecting, I’ve gotten a vanquish metal detector for Christmas and haven’t gotten a chance to use it!

[@diggingdewittcounty1855]

I like your intro! Most are too busy and too long.

[@IDigHistory]

Thanks! My son actually produced it for me. I love it too!

[@howardwesley1831]

what are you using for spray?

[@fperin1]

Nice finds! I suggest not spraying water on your copper finds, including nickels (75% copper).

[@IDigHistory]

Thanks!

[@deirdreshaw2761]

Correct! Some people use rubbing alcohol on copper, it doesn't oxidize it.

[@GibsonLP2010]

What's the solution you use to spray/clean your coins in the field? Enjoyed the video... Nice job.

[@IDigHistory]

Appreciate it! I just use water.

[@GeorgeElliott-xp4mh]

Could I join you next time you go out an hunt this field

[@IDigHistory]

Lol, I'm usually a loner. Thanks for watching 👍

[@GeorgeElliott-xp4mh]

Np

[@carolynjordan4826]

Clay is better with marbles!

[@weshysell8160]

You guys need to have toothpicks and toothbrush you help you guys

[@IDigHistory]

I always keep both with me 👍

[@gwenroney3972]

Those are so old I have to ask why are you hiding names?

[@IDigHistory]

Great question. The plantation is still known by the same name and would be easily located. As sad as it is, there are people that would attempt to detect there without permission. I always try to keep my sites protected to minimize that risk for the property owners, but it still happens.

[@gwenroney3972]

@@IDigHistory Ah ok, makes sense!

[@lukekitchen7153]

It's a lot to gloss over the fact that people were enslaved on this plantation. I'm sure there are ways you can pause and reflect on their lives and what the true cost was to run a plantation.

[@IDigHistory]

Hey Luke, I'll tolerate this comment, but only barely. You clearly have not watched my channel very long to think I gloss over anything.

[@dannylong6301]

You talk to much. Dig dig
