You’ll are so good no B S just getting to it and getting um nice job thanx for the great video

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

I sure appreciate the kind words, though we're just lucky to get on such a good site. Thanks for watching and commenting! GL & HH!

[@Damdetector]

Very nice detecting spot 👍👌

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Yessir, its a great spot! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@wizardsofwisconsin7400]

Nothing like that exists anywhere around here, that’s incredible it’s still standing and basically just left exactly as it was. You imagine the gold in there? Another WOW hunt buddy! Some friend you’ve got!😃

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

@@wizardsofwisconsin7400 thanks man! The crazy part is that I’ve drove past this place every day on my way to work for the last 15 years! I never knew about it because it closed down when I was just a kid. Hardly any clad there at all. If you get a dime or quarter signal, it’s most likely silver. Yes, it was super cool of Marlon to invite me out to hunt with him.

[@davidlinck7459]

You guys hit the jackpot great job.. Love the video.Keep up the good work..👍🙂🙏.. P.S. Merry Christmas..🌲 Happy Holidays.🌲 And Happy New Year too!

Thanks relicrat!

[@DiggingRob]

HOT SPOT 😮

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

For sure!

[@jerrypruitt7432]

You show hunt an all. Great channel. Don't change.

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Thank you Jerry. I appreciate you stopping by and commenting.

[@BarberBobDetecting]

Heck of a site, loaded!

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

It sure is! Man detecting that place was a blast!

[@grandmakellymcdonald]

Boom let's go let's go treasure and adventure ✌👵

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Thanks for watching grandma kelly!

[@TheKeyDateKid]

Great hunting site. It was rather virgin ground! You're working that Merlin like you've known each other forever 😄

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

@@TheKeyDateKid Yep, it sure was fun to get on a virgin site like that. Very rare to find them nowadays. Man, that Merlin shovel has quickly became my favorite digging tool!

[@TheKeyDateKid]

@MetalDetectingNWGA you could hear it cutting through those roots 😎

[@lesmobley6490]

That's more silver than I have found in 30 years. Well done.

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Thanks Les! This site sure was full of silver, and we're still finding more. We detected there again yesterday. I'll have a part 2 video coming out soon.

[@goldendredger]

Man that was a great location. Awesome. Hopefully I can find one like this myself sometime soon.

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

@@goldendredger thanks man! Yeah, that was a great spot! Very grateful I got the invite.

[@mikelego9362]

That was a great hunt and I bet you were tired 😢 That’s lots of digging. Hopefully it will rain soon and I’m going to start detecting. So I will be heading your way.

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Thanks Mike! Looking forward to it!

[@dogismyco-pirate]

Goodonya fellas!!!

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Thanks Nathan!

[@WildDigger]

Awesome spot. You guys did well. I need to find a spot like that. Our fairground spot has dried up on silver. How are you liking that shovel? Is it holding up to the Georgia clay? GL&HH Matt

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Hey thanks Matt. Man, that Merlin shovel is awesome and has been holding up well. I still like my Predator shovels, but what's cool about the Excalibur is that I can take it apart and fit it and my detector inside my motorcycle saddlebag. Hope you've been doing well!

[@justins3810]

Damn guys! You found an awesome spot!

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Yep those spots don't show up often! I sure appreciate the invite from my buddy Marlon!

[@TheUnearther1]

Subscribed from Finland! Happy hunting from a fellow detectorist!😊🍀

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Thanks! I subbed your channel as well. Happy Hunting!

[@maxxkatt]

You don't come across a permission like that too often. I bet it still has a lot more to give you guys. Nice rock hard ground you are digging in. Same down here in North Atlanta. We got 14" of rain from Helene, but not a drop since. Nice warm November so far.

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Yeah, we were fortunate to get on this permission. As of right now, we've hunted most of the easy spots. Next, we're going to start cutting down the brush around the pool so that we can hunt that area as well. Its gonna take some work, but we know its loaded with silver too.

[@lauramorris3409]

oh wow! My neck of the woods! Maybe you can share some public places to hunt?

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Hi Laura. This particular permission belongs to a friend of mine, however, I do know some public spots around here. Are you a member at the Friendly Metal Detecting Forum? If so, send me a PM and we'll talk about some locations. My username there is Rattlehead.

[@mikejaynes9148]

only found 1 site like that in last 25 years...awesome

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Those kind of sites are rare for sure. The crazy part is, we've barely scratched the surface.

[@19jody72]

Hell yeah!!!

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Thanks for watching Jody!

[@19jody72]

@MetalDetectingNWGA 👊🏻

[@0006trance]

Great job, nice finds! Did you have a 9" on bc it shoots better, or because it was trashy? Ringgold here 'nox800

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

@@0006trance Hey thanks neighbor! I keep the 9” coil on there full time. To me, it’s the perfect coil size for 99% of the places I detect. It’s noticeably lighter than the 11”, while maintaining good coverage and improved maneuverability. Good separation and still plenty deep too. I prefer the 9” coil over the 11” on my Deus 2 as well.

[@jimmycrossbones5454]

Thumbs up 👍😎 are you using the M9

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Thanks Jimmy. Yessir, love the M9 coil.

[@arnieteves9335]

What program are you running ? Silvers sound amazing

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

I was using AT General with the depth audio theme. That VCO audio really makes coins scream!

[@arnieteves9335]

@MetalDetectingNWGA thanks, I will give it a shot 👍 great video

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

@@arnieteves9335 Thanks! Good luck with it!

[@sandman4224]

Congrats on the honey hole, man! BTW, what program were you using on the Manticore? I'm so used to ATG that anything else is alien to my ears :)

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Thanks man! That is ATG but with the Depth Audio Theme. I love how the VCO audio just makes coins scream!

[@jimpraefke8065]

That’s a good problem to have you forget how many silvers you have counted

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

@@jimpraefke8065 yessir! It sure is!

[@ClemzunClint93]

NWGA sure seems to produce better than NWAL lol!! Great hunt!!

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Thanks man! I think we just got on a good spot. Most of my other sites sure don't produce that much. lol

[@stevec442]

We really really need some rain ! Hey what's with that place? The swimming hole looks dry😅

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

We sure do. I was having a heck of a time keeping plugs together. I wish I had included a shot of the pool in the video. Its overgrown with brush but still easily visible.

[@benroosa2328]

What makes a wheat penny boring?

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Not really boring, but we find so many of them at this location that I just assumed you guys were tired of seeing them.

[@HookinandSwinginOutdoors]

How do you like the 9" coil?

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

@@HookinandSwinginOutdoors man, I love the M9 coil. Compared to the M11, it’s noticeably lighter, easier to maneuver in tight places, still gets decent coverage and excellent depth. It’s the perfect coil size for 99% of the places I hunt.

[@brownjessea1]

I see you have the Manticore and another buddy has a Deus. What was the other detector? X-Terra Pro?

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

I believe it was the X-Terra Elite.

[@brownjessea1]

@@MetalDetectingNWGA Thanks. I have the Pro. Considering getting the Elite.

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

@@brownjessea1 I have no experience with it, but Kyle seems to like his.

[@jerrypruitt7432]

Show all the wheats. I love them. Wish I had them.

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

I wanted to show the wheats too, but if I did, the video would’ve been more than an hour long. :)

[@jerrytalley802]

That’s like a record silver and coin day, considering most places are pounded.

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

@@jerrytalley802 thanks for watching Jerry. It sure was fun hunting there!

[@CommonGuy]

What was on that site previously?

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

A public swimming pool is all I know of.

[@CommonGuy]

@@MetalDetectingNWGA crazy!!!

[@jerrypruitt7432]

My kind of channel.

[@brianlittle5905]

why such a small coil for such a large place?

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Mostly due to the lighter weight. My arm starts aching after a couple of hours when using the larger coils. I’m no spring chicken anymore. The 9” coil is just right for me. It’s lighter, easier to maneuver, decent coverage and still very deep.

[@goldringhunter2431]

No gold rings?

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Not yet. We’ve barely scratched the surface though. Hoping we get some gold next time!

[@randymente80]

Where's the water line

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Hey Randy, the pool is spring fed. Not sure how the bath house is plumbed.

[@markkus1134]

Awesome hunt congrats Trumps the president again!!!

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Thanks Markkus! Heck yeah! He got my vote!

[@markkus1134]

Gotta love the 9”coil!!!

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

@@markkus1134 That M9 is awesome!

[@markkus1134]

@ yep and I actually weighed my D2 and manticore both with 9” coils and they both weigh 2.8lbs !!

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

@@markkus1134 Yeah the weight with the M9 just makes the Manticore balance so much better than with the M11.

[@billfussman8859]

Yea, let the traitor circus begin again

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

You'll have to explain that one to me Bill.

[@laddlecottongim827]

Why does your Manticore sound like an annoying Simplex? Couldn't watch the whole video.

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

I'm using the depth audio theme. It is VCO (voltage controlled oscillation), which means the closer the target is to the coil, the higher the pitch. It may sound a little different (or annoying) compared to the traditional conductivity driven Full Tones or Multi Tones that most people use, but it offers some real advantages on making tough targets really stand out and grab your attention. Takes a little getting used to, but once you get the hang of using it, it's great!
