My Lawn is a BLANKET of Coins!! Metal Detecting Abandoned Penny HOARD (Old House, Built 1918-1921)

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Planning on going out digging tomorrow at a different location. Hoping we can find some stuff to make a good video!

A blanket of coins? Let’s get wrapped up in this video!

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Very clever. Haha.

[@angelshaven8920]

I believe the "84"zinc is a "54"

[@marymisdom3955]

Maybe they had some Adirondack chairs around in that section. The slanted seats might cause coins to slip out of pants pockets.

[@RobFindsTreasure]

WOW! I have never seen so MANY pennies in a yard unless they were placed there for pest control or garden nutrients... Still, must be fun getting some oldies and diggin in your own yard!

[@pennynickelslotsandscratchers]

looks like my front yard full of 1970's pennies . this is one of my parents rental houses . My dad used to tell me, "yep, i sat on the porch and threw those pennies out in 1970's becouse i knew you would here digging them up" lol. everytime i dig one up. I smile and look up and reminds me of my dad we lost him 2 years ago.

[@lorishearer5108]

I just detected one of our rental properties. On only 1/8th of an acre, I found 74 coins so far. No silver. But I did get 4 weaties.

You will need to dig up that path now, you'll either find silver or bones :)

[@jxavier3876]

Kids do that now with dimes and quarters

[@bizzielizzie913]

That's crazy seems like someone through the years was just tossing coins everywhere,🤔

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Sometime in the 80's someone launched pennies all over that yard. Who knows why. LOL

[@torchandhammer]

I was inspired by this video so I took a whole roll of 1982 pennies and scattered them all over my front yard.

[@tomjones239]

@@JDsVarietyChannel I used to hate pennies and when I cleaned my car out I threw them everywhere. A few days ago I found a Walking Liberty half dollar in my yard with my cheap metal detector. It`s a good detector for clad though, a Bounty Hunter Pioneer 202 that I received as a gift. I couldn`t get a date off the coin though because it was very worn. I was really surprised to find silver just messing around in the yard.

JD, good to see you and your family pulling on the same rope - family is everything. Your new house/home will certainly open up a whole series of landscapes in your life. I look forward to following your continuing adventures in the weeks/months/(years?) to come. Best regards to your Mum and Dad - they are looking good. Your Mum will benefit from the CPAP but they do take some getting used to. A friend in Colorado uses one and he has improved greatly - he also does water-aerobics and swears by this therapy. Good luck with the bees! My friends in North Wales keep several hives and have learned much about the potential benefits and pitfalls. I am sure that you have local sources of advice and good counsel - the world needs all the pollinators it can get. The bamboo will be fine if, as you are no doubt very well aware, you site it in the right spot away from the house. Great for screening and for creating mystery and surprise within garden vistas. With 'secret' sitting spots for quiet contemplation... Sensory planting a good idea here. I have really enjoyed watching how you have shaped, reshaped and re-reshaped your life and purposes over the past few years. More power to you, JD! Go well. Stay well. Say 'hey' to your folks and 'hey' to you too. Thanks for the ride so far... here's to the ride to come. Zane. England.

72 pennies The 1903 - 1985 Was Awesome I suppose considering the value of cents 100+ Yrs ago I would Imagine coins were Kept predominantly in Change Pouches or Horse saddle bags or While Riding ,Mounting, or Gardening. Considering also children worked and were much more mobile like walking to and from school or running errands for Mom and Dad. That being said I guess the old expression of "Penny Pinching" may have Originated. Great Video's Friend, Great History Behind those Coin mint Years From Teddy Roosevelt to Ronald Reagan. My favorite was the 1903 American Indian Head Penny that was also in Pristine condition. I try not to Miss any of All my Exploration dudes

Someone had a penny fight ‘back in the day’! As a young kid in the late 70’s, I remember the my older sister’s friend up the street was tossing out of her second storey window pennies and Wade figurines for a bunch of us to catch. I’m sure we missed a bunch of the pennies.

Hey JD , you should name that place the memorial garden . Enjoyed the long video.

[@brightpurpleviking]

I wonder if at some point they had hydrangea bushes along that yard because people plant copper pennies with them to make the flowers turn blue! It would explain the number of them AND the depth.

[@Forensic1Man]

JD, To me it seems like the previous residents did not want pennies in their pockets and just threw them out on the lawn. I have never seen a site with only so many pennies and not a single silver or nickle! Possibly you will find gold soon! Also, we need to talk about your philosophy about girlfriends!

[@janboll7174]

Had to look up what the numbers mean. It seems that the higher the number, the better chance of finding good metal; the lower the number the poorer the metal is. Am I reading the information correctly?

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Just fun... every subscriber in his area should drive by at night, or after JD heads out.... and throw out a bunch of pennies in the yard. I did not say this... nope..

[@bobcampbell2486]

Maybe a long time ago someone said that there was too much acid in the soil and you need to add copper something something and it was just cheaper to get five dollars worth of pennies and toss them where they wanted grass to grow. I noticed where you dig there is green weed or grass. You may have to toss them back if you want grass. LOL Susann

[@davidseals352]

Why are there so many pennies without anything else ? When I have change in my pocket it’s not just pennies. It’s almost like they threw their pennies out in the yard and took the rest of the change in the house. That’s 15 pennies in a row.

[@RelicHuntingSouthTexas]

"I left the root patch because I couldn't take it anymore" LOL! That was great. I don't think anyone cherry picked your silver. I dig penny signals you never know when it's a silver chain or small silver ring. Interesting date range in that particular area of your property. Looking forward to your journey JD! I am curious how you found the property in Virginia to buy while living in Tennessee.

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Anyone who tries to cherry pick a yard with this much copper is going to miss silver. There's no way around it. I doubt anyone ever touched this yard unless it was detected pre 1980's by an old timer before all the modern coins were deposited. (I doubt that too, considering I also found 7 wheats and an indian head in my first go) And someone trying to avoid pennies would most certainly not be digging nickels and low tones either. There is next to no trash in the front, and only one modern pull tab so far. It's just a clean, well preserved, front lawn where not many items were dropped pre 1980's. I bet there's more coins buried under the driveway. If it was gravel I would dig it out no matter how long it would take. FYI. I don't live too far from the south west VA border. So I've been looking at all new properties coming up for sale within 35 minutes of me.

[@RelicHuntingSouthTexas]

Thanks for the reply. Can't wait for your future videos. Be interesting to see what you find as far as relics too not just coins. And how the repairs and updates on the property go plus what you decide to do since you now have two houses living wise.

[@kd8opi]

More of a testament to how good the metal detector is than the coins found. Its a shame that no dimes or quarters were found from about 1900-1964, anything better than a nickle would have been silver. Not a bad video, and cool in that its was neat to see so many hits. But man, these pennies are in such bad shape (less than "good") that even the 1916D and the 1903 Indian are worth maybe $0.25 and $0.50 recspectively.

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Yeah. Extremely acidic soil. All the pennies and nickels from this property are probably going to look pretty ugly. So I'll have to hope there's a nice 1916-D merc or 1921 quarter down there somewhere. lol

[@kd8opi]

@@JDsVarietyChannel Yeah, I'm praying you find some silver in that yard, if you keep pulling up pennies in this bad of shape its not worth your time.
