Metal Detecting an 1840's Courthouse. I luck into a SUPER FIND! Part 1

[@sylvia2553]

oh my goodness I absolutely love this building, and the quirky painted clocks ,great history surrounds that court house for sure,and what a sweet little ring ,fabulous find.

[@mowerdog]

I love that you're more excited than I was!! Keep up the super spirit!

[@rdwrevitup]

Hey brother, get yourself a spray water bottle and a fine brush so you don't do further damage to any coins you find. Their collector value can deteriorate fairly rapidly as you add surface defects. Not too critical for most pennies, but for fine or better silver the gradients can be critical depending on the year, date, and denomination. Nice video and beautiful old courthouse.

[@mowerdog]

Thanks!

[@accurategranite9268]

I keep telling all these clowns the same thing. I don't care about these people but I'd hate to see them find something really rare and historical and then "sandblast" it with their gritty fingers.

[@tanyastamant]

I would love to be the woman who bought that property. That building is gorgeous and I would love to see it be renovated.

[@mowerdog]

I hope to get back there soon. Maybe I can make a video of the inside! Thanks for commenting Tanya!

[@wildkat-nation]

Very cool...I like that you got a little information on the place before you detect the property!

[@mowerdog]

Kitty Murphy Thanks for coming along with me!

[@stevengolfs]

Great video, Kenny. Thanks for posting.

[@mowerdog]

stevengolfs Thanks and your welcome..

[@davidcrawford6505]

Congrats on a great permission and find.

[@mowerdog]

***** Thank you. I need to go back but it's 2:45 from me!

[@WestOzAdventures]

nice find, love seeing gold rings from the dirt!!

[@mowerdog]

Me too! I just don't see enough of them! LOL Thanks for watching!

[@lookin4zinc]

Wow great find. That's a very cool looking ring. It definitely looks vintage

[@mowerdog]

It does look old for sure. It looks like it had 2 small stones that are missing. But I'll take it for sure! Thanks for watching

[@livinright1]

great job getting that permission + finding gold!!! congrats, GL + HH, Lisa

[@mowerdog]

The owner was super nice which made it a lot easier gaining permission.

[@minnieearhart4527]

wow, nice ring, I like that old court house, we got an old abandoned court house from 1900's here in corpus Christi, Texas. but it's fenced n locked. I wish I could get permission to detect it. I find most of my coins under trees. I enjoyed ur video.

[@mowerdog]

If you can find the owner you might be able to get inside? In the afternoon hunting large trees I'll hunt the shadow area of the trees. On a hot sunny day this is where people would be to get away from the sun. Thanks for watching my vids!!

[@mentaldetectingireland]

lovely court house and great info on the clock.i thought it was real..great job on sniffing that ring out. :-)

[@mowerdog]

mental detecting That ring was just a solid nickel hit. Any machine would have hit it. Lucky for me either they missed it or was running high discrimination. Either way it's mine! Thanks for watching!

[@BreedBearWolf]

The fact that you have a US Constitution in the end of this Vid just got you a Subscriber.

[@mowerdog]

Thanks! I reference it often. Plus hand them out to my friends.

[@timeandtide.m.d.5542]

Well done, done ,some nice finds

[@mowerdog]

Thank you!

[@fishcamp235]

Congrats on the ring what a great place to hunt!

[@mowerdog]

It's one of the coolest places I've hunted. Thanks for watching!

[@larrystephens7437]

Surprised you didn't find more... Thanks for sharing...

[@mowerdog]

I think it's been detected to death. Take care....

[@NewYorkMetalDetecting]

Congratulations on the ring. Very nice find.

[@mowerdog]

Thank you!

[@candysantillo3325]

Good video .Interesting site.Thank you.

[@mowerdog]

+Candy Santillo Thank you for commenting! Take care.

[@marybufordAUTHOR]

Great ring find. Gorgeous building!!!! I absolutely look forward to your going inside. I'm a new subscriber, and look forward to that video, if ever possible. :)

[@mowerdog]

+Mrs PenPal I hope to go back soon. Maybe I'll be able to go inside then?

[@marybufordAUTHOR]

That would be great!!

[@mowerdog]

We will see?

[@OurPastAu]

Nice job on the GOLD! And what a cool courthouse

[@mowerdog]

+Digging Australia Maybe the coolest and spookiest courthouse I've seen....

[@925inder2]

Great gold ring!Congrats!

[@mowerdog]

Thank you!

[@jeffleblanc8850]

Hope you do well it’s a beatiful building

[@mowerdog]

I need to go back and check the progress of the restoration...

[@garyloger9416]

Nice video. I start detecting as soon as I get a pointer. I tried without one and it's so frustrating....plus I'm new at this and haven't got a clue. Oh well. Happy hunting.

[@mowerdog]

+Gary Loger I hunted almost 20 years without a pinpointer. But wouldn't leave home without one now.

[@diggingtreasuresmoto]

Congrats on the ring. It does look older. Funny about the clock. Lol

[@mowerdog]

The paint job on the clock looks good from that far away. Thanks for watching!

[@diggingtreasuresmoto]

mowerdog That's a massive building and it does make me wonder how someone who works at the courthouse, was able to afford to buy it, unless she got a real bargain. Our old courthouse is still owned by the county, and is a historic building, and is still in use as offices for the county, and they have had problems with having the funds to maintain it. Anyway, nice place to hunt.

[@mowerdog]

I thought the only reason a property is sold on the Courthouse steps was for back taxes? Maybe they simply bought it from the County and not on the steps? It is a massive building for sure.

[@diggingtreasuresmoto]

mowerdog Did she not buy it from the county? So the county didn't pay the real estate taxes on it? Just seems weird, but a neat building. GL on your next hunt there.

[@mowerdog]

Maybe I'll talk to her and get some more details. Thanks!

[@gooutside6055]

Im ready to find some stuff like that.

[@mowerdog]

+jeff b I can't wait to back! I want to find more cool stuff too! Thanks for watching!!

Nice vidéo ! and amazing find ! joe from france ! a real pleasure to follow you !!!!!

[@mowerdog]

Thanks for the support Joe! I need to get back there soon.

[@robbieallen728]

Good hunt

[@WildDigger]

Sweet looking ring. Congrats

[@mowerdog]

Thanks a lot! I've been on a gold drought since last fall. I'm happy!

[@WildDigger]

I am in the same gold drought.. LOL.

[@mowerdog]

Keep after it! I found a silver ring 2 weeks ago. But man I like the color of GOLD! Keep swinging.

[@JAD5822]

That's an unusual ring for sure. Dead on pull tab signal.

[@mowerdog]

JAD5822 I love finding rings! Thanks for watching!

[@PaulRevere2009]

Nice find !

[@mowerdog]

Paul Revere Thanks1

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

SWEET FINDS ENJOYED

[@mowerdog]

Thanks for watching!

[@jeffleblanc8850]

Nice find good for you

[@mowerdog]

Thank you!

[@The_Warrior526]

I've got a Bounty Hunter Pioneer EX, nothing as sofisticated as these detectors, but it does a good enough job for the random usage I have for it. I think it's only got a 6.5" maximum depth though.

[@mowerdog]

+ALIENWarriorX It's all about having fun. It doesn't matter what you use...

[@metaljackalope1801]

Nice Place to hunt.. Good luck!!

[@mowerdog]

It's a fantastic site. I'll be going back in a week. Thanks for watching my video!

[@silvershark2843]

How strange. A few years ago I seen this same place hunted on KZbin by a couple guys no kidding! Good luck anyway 👍

[@mowerdog]

Really.... I would like to see that.. The owner did tell me that there had been trespassers detecting and was very happy I asked permission.

[@QUICKSILVERappletree]

You should find out if that court house has a cornerstone, it could have a time capsule in it

[@mowerdog]

Hunter RedBlood I'll ask the owner but I didn't see one. It's possible the center original building had one but was covered up with the additions?

[@l.h.c.powerwashing7289]

engagement ring,yay im divorced, toss.lol

[@mowerdog]

+Eric Floors LOL! Probably right!

[@DuranSexton]

Nice find

[@mowerdog]

+Duran Sexton Thanks!

[@jimbonito3766]

wow nice ring with stone i see nice

[@mowerdog]

+Dumpsite Digger Thanks for watching!

[@forreststinnett4123]

Very nice finds congrats on the gold you are going back? Forrest GL & HH

[@mowerdog]

You bet I'll be back. I just kind of skipped around looking for any hot spots. Lots of ground yet to hunt. Thanks for watching!

[@MrClayDust]

mowerdog nice ring great building looks like a lot of ground to cover

[@mowerdog]

Clay Dust It's a huge area. I'll be back do soon.

[@michaelbenjmitchell1]

mowerdog I think two people doing grids each side would do the work a lot faster.

[@mowerdog]

+Michael Mitchell Then I would only get half the finds! LOL. I do however like hunting with a friend.

[@DavidEvans_dle]

Not enough money for four clocks, so just painted it 7:59 :P Well at least it's right twice a day.

[@mowerdog]

That's right! You would never be late for work using this clock!

[@mikey30250]

Nice ring.

[@mowerdog]

Michael son Thanks a lot! Take care...

[@maxwellbridgers1373]

nice find

[@mowerdog]

Thank you for watching and commenting! I still need to get back there. Time gets away from me so fast..

[@randomvideos5903]

i wonder how much that ring must cost?

[@mowerdog]

I'll bet in its time it would have been a lot. Thanks for watching.

[@nickmad887]

good luck

[@mowerdog]

Nick Mad Thanks!

[@oftheearth]

Sweet!

[@mowerdog]

of the earth Thanks!

[@DigginDale]

Hey Kenny what kind of metal detector is that?

[@mowerdog]

+Dale Catron Minelab etrac

[@1981shaw]

what name brand hand trowel is that

[@mowerdog]

+Matt Shaw Predator Raptor 31

[@jeffleblanc8850]

That funny the clock looks real

[@mowerdog]

It fooled me and I drove by this building several times before getting permission.

[@tim-burrr]

Metal detectors are expensive. What is that red handheld detector like? Can it be used on its own? I see them on ebay for a pretty good price.

[@mowerdog]

MudPucket It's just used for close range pinpointing of targets. I wouldn't use one for general hunting. Thanks for watching!

[@santiagogomez7575]

How do you ask permission to detect private property and do you offer to share your finds with the owner?

[@mowerdog]

Be nice and dressed good when you ask. Just keep it simple. Like "This is a cool house you have!" My hobby is metal detecting. Would you mind if I scan your yard with my detector?

[@mdc5873]

Maybe the gemstone to the ring is in the same hole you dug? (I subscribed)

[@mowerdog]

+mdc You may be right? I should have scooped up some dirt and sifted it. My bad.

[@sunbabecali.7292]

Where is this at?

[@mowerdog]

+Sunbabe Cali. It's in Missouri. Thanks for watching!!

[@sunbabecali.7292]

+mowerdog yeah i heard Ozark when i was watching it and i was like woah! i know that place :)

[@mowerdog]

+Sunbabe Cali. Are you from Missouri? if you do know where the location is don't post it. I don't want anyone messing up my permission. Thanks.

[@sunbabecali.7292]

Oh no, trust me I'm not like that at all. I'm not from Missouri, I'm from Cali. I only came here because of Military. :)

[@mowerdog]

+Sunbabe Cali. I understand. Take care!

[@boxingboys8436]

I was the 1000 like on the vid

[@mowerdog]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the hunt!

[@boxingboys8436]

Metal detecting is so much fun and exciting I love finding coins and old pennies

[@mowerdog]

Yes. Some people are just missing out!

[@Genevieve0508]

awesome

[@mowerdog]

+JESSICAMARIE OLIVAREZ Thanks for watching!

[@onceANexile]

She bought it in a secret sale.

[@mowerdog]

She did?

[@lxsolocam]

I know where this is at. I've been inside that courthouse to pay my personal property taxes. It's in the county I live in. But I won't let your secret outta the bag

[@mowerdog]

+lxsolocam Thanks. I'm hoping to get back there in a couple of weeks if the weather is good....

[@xjcrossx]

Probably an engagement ring that some woman threw on her way out after getting a divorce!

[@mowerdog]

Most likely! LOL....

[@suprasta9931]
