Metal Detecting: BIG GOLD!!!

Two day hunt with a big gold present on a silver anniversary! Catch the story at the end of the video

[@robertesensee3494]

Thanks for returning the ring. I am sure they missed it and gave up hope of ever seeing it again. Detectorists like you and your buddies make all of us look good and the hobby look even better! Keep swinging and digging!

[@ih8ua119]

We DIG History I totally admire and respect you for seeking out the owner of the ring, that would give me more pleasure than finding it. Great job and thanks for sharing your story, restoring faith in humanity one RING at a time!!!

[@AmericanCoinHunting]

Good hunts Shano , and yes I watched all 16:22 of it . Love the fact you found that gold ring on the one year anniversary of your cache ! Cool story to go with it .Naturally I love the IH's , and silvers you guys found . But after that BIG honkin gold ring . My second favorite was that big key ! Beautiful find ..Well done guys !

[@wedighistory2233]

Haha, thanks for watching all 1622. Yeah, it's honking alright! Thanks again and HH

[@Coinazoid]

Wow great finds! Crazy coincidence with the cache and the ring!

[@wedighistory2233]

thank you. Yeah, I know, it's nuts. lol HH bud

[@forreststinnett4123]

It's nice that you are returning the ring. Congrats on the anniversary of all the silver you found last year great find. Forrest GL & HH

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

LMAO at the gold coin flower tag by the ring! That's like in February I found my gold coin then a hunt shortly after I found a suspenders clip that said "gold coin" on it. LOL. And that's too funny that you found that merc at Ray's house. I remember that your cache was from 1967, that's a crazy coincidence. Last week I found 31 wrapped pennies, none dating newer than UNC 1993 coins (preserved enough to see the luster on the new ones). Ends up most people think it was a pair of homemade brass knuckles that were lost during a fight (would have been 21 years ago). Thought that was pretty cool if you didn't see the video I uploaded. That skeleton key is in incredible condition! I hope to be hunting more soon after a little break I've taken, things have slowed down for me this year after an awesome spring. I hope to find much more goodies this fall! LOVE the indian collection, hard to believe with all the ones you've dug the 1895 took so long, glad you knocked those out. Would be awesome to see you complete the set! I nearly have a complete set of dug rosies and war nickels.

[@wedighistory2233]

yeah, that was crazy! I did see that video you made, didn't have time to comment, that's a cool find! cool that it could have been brass knuckles... how interesting. Thanks on the indian collection, thought you would like that, I would love love love to complete the set! I'm wondering if it will take a lifetime to do it or not. I want those 1908 and 09 mintmark ones! Someday. Hope this year picks up for you in the fall, I think it will. HH bud

[@blitzb4]

Cool key and nice fat gold ring! Nice silver finds also... Great hunt...

[@wedighistory2233]

thanks man.

[@AlsAllMetalDetecting]

1967 is my birth year. Cool beans. Great bunch of hunts. I bet Ray was kinda jerked that you pulled out that Merc even if he didn't show it. No better feeling in the hobby than the one you get from returning something like that. Be well, Al-Fu

[@wedighistory2233]

Oh, cool! Yeah, I can imagine if the role was reversed lol.. he must have been shocked to see it. But Ray is a great guy and does not get jealous one bit.. he is a different breed of person, if you knew him, you would know what I mean. That is why I love hunting with him. Thank a bunch man, and HH

[@markgentile9532]

awesome video some very cool finds keep digging I'll keep watching

[@LarsonFamilyFarm-LLC]

Super nice gold ring...and love that patina on the skeleton key.

[@wedighistory2233]

thanks :)

[@UncleDaaave]

Another video worth it's weight in GOLD hahaa. You never fail to amaze me. I know the look on the mans face when you return it to him will be priceless. Good for you. The guy might even want to hug you hahaa. Hopefully this good deed will bring you a ring you can keep. Looking forward to the next video.

[@theshadowpeople1493]

you are a true gentleman and you will be rewarded for your good deeds I'm sure there will be a very interesting story with that ring when you get to meet the gentlman !

[@wedighistory2233]

:) thanks

[@DelawareDigger]

Way to go gents. Superb finds yall. See you @ the next find.DD...

[@exrfn]

wow that ring looked lush when cleaned, and finding the original owner after all those years was cool.hope he got a few bucks reward!!.... Great vid....

[@TarheelDiggin]

Great digs as always, Shane! Class ring is a beauty - be sure to film the return. Also love the patina on that key - holy smokes! HH

[@wedighistory2233]

Thanks, yeah, I loved the Key too! patina was awesome. HH

[@malyman24]

Very nice class ring. I lucked out my first year in the hobby and found & returned a 2002 class ring in august 2016. Video posted. I like and subscribed to you. Keep up the good work and great videos. GL&HH

[@StivNagen]

Shane, you lucky son of a gun...No, I take that back. As you mentioned, you know your detector well, so that helps. So I know it's more skill than luck. (Plus the fact Ray buried a dime in his yard for you. Ha ha.) That key was huge! Very nice finds. By the way, I had already figured that you'd try to track down the owner of that ring so I wasn't even thinking of asking you about it. As always, another exciting video from you and Relic Ray. Congratulations!

[@wedighistory2233]

Hahaha, what a nice guy uh? burying a silver dime just to make me happy! lol Yeah, hope the owner of the ring is a cool guy, it would make a heck of a video. Love to be able to share it here with you guys. Thanks again and HH

[@jaymoge]

Wow, honkin gold ring buddy, love the coins and relics too. Best of luck with the return.

[@graysondigger]

Nice vid and congrats on the ring! I found one that was also 1967 and tracked down the owner by contacting the high school. He said it was in his wife's jewelry box that was stolen over 25 years ago. Man was he happy to get that back! I hope you can track down the owner of that ring too. Good luck!

[@wedighistory2233]

thank you very much, that's awesome. :) I will try to get a vid when I do. HH

[@graysondigger]

Very cool. I look forward to seeing it and good luck.

[@DetectoresRJ]

Ohhhhh inveja, rsrsrsr belas moedas e esse anel de ouro nem falo nada meu Deus, like

[@thomas101834]

Nice dig, Congrats on the ring. Kinda spooky the correlation between the cashe and the ring. 1967, both on the coins and the ring. Happy Hunting Brother

[@wedighistory2233]

Thanks, yeah, it was quite a creepy coincidence... Thank and HH

[@MuranoArtGlassAustralia-ub2fh]

The broach you have found is Russian Lacquer with a date of 92 which could possibly be 1892. Great stuff

[@PalmettoDigger]

Very nice ring. Looks like it was lost early on. Great key. Congrats on the silver!

[@wedighistory2233]

Thank you, yeah, i'm thinking it was lost in the first few years at least

[@CrossBow206]

Great finds Shano. Congrats

[@wedighistory2233]

thanks! :)

[@klaasomega1]

Nice movie best regards from Joop Holland. I do my hobby metal detecting almost 45 years.

[@roy8460]

Its great that you found the owner of that ring, I unearthed a gold ring just like that in 1993 and it was dated 1936 and the owner was still alive, She gave me her address and sent it out to her. '' It's smart to put your Initials in any class ring, especially if its Gold.

[@wedighistory2233]

+Roy Coll thank you, and that's cool she was still around! Thanks for watching, HH

[@roy8460]

It was in the dredging's from the lake, that he recently bought...He put the dredging's Inland in a field, " OMG , what I found in the following days.

[@wedighistory2233]

wow cool

[@Sheba936]

That is one Beautiful Ring! Along with a Great Story! I'd Love to be there when he sees that! Great Video also!

[@wedighistory2233]

thanks :)

[@Sheba936]

Silver Shano My Pleasure Sir!

[@amberbarcellano1147]

that is so so so awesome key and that ring...wooooooww.

[@wedighistory2233]

thanks :)

[@marlenemcgovern808]

Excellent! !

[@fireantsarestrange]

I found a class ring in my mothers cousins old front lawn. It turns out that it WAS her cousins class ring. What was the best part of the story is that they all had a graduation party over there in 1964 and her cousin lost her ring... It sucked and sort of ruined the party. Everybody looked for it. Well I had the pleasure of handing it back to her. It was like time never kept going for her. She still missed it. The tears welled up in her eyes and she could not believe what i just handed her. Now im 45 years old so that ring was lost for a very long time. I think the best reward was just the joy from the moment i handed it to her.

[@fireantsarestrange]

+Jay Sims I would also like to point out that nobody likes to lose anything important to them. Losing things is my biggest pet peeve. I drives me crazy. But I had a very nice necklace that I made myself and it had an amber cross on it worth about 50$. Now I was with a couple friends swimming in a creek and I put it down on a rock. When I came back for it .. It was gone. I knew my buddies didn't like the piece and they knew what had happened to it. They never did tell me where it was. I think they chucked it into the bushes. Needless to say I did not need those buddies. I still wish I could find it.

[@Sheba936]

+Jay Sims Another BINGO! Good for you My MAN! "I think the best reward was just the joy from the moment I handed it to her." HOT DAMN! This is a Great Post People! NOTE: Your second Comment "Needless to say I did not need those buddies." You got that right!" A terrible thing for them to do!

[@CoinHuntingDrew]

Sweet 1875 indian, that's a good one. Glad you found the person, you gotta make a video (if he's okay) with it about the return.

[@ms.michealh893]

This is my first time watching your videos and I really enjoyed it! I'm glad you were able to find the owner of the beautiful class ring!! What I really liked was that gorgeous skeleton key!! The patina on it was amazing! I'll be subscribing and watching more! Blessings to you and your family. Sincerely, Ms. M

[@wedighistory2233]

thanks :) same to you and your fam. and thank you so much for watching and subbing!

[@ilovepaopufruit]

Oh wow! I also have an 1903 Indian coin in perfect condition, isn't that crazy? Nice video and good luck on more finds

[@wedighistory2233]

[@towboaterky]

I have returned one ring also I found it crawling around under an old house. Feels good to return lost class rings. I use a Whites DFX

[@davedixieshighstrangeness-595]

[@wedighistory2233]

Thank you! :)

[@jon74451]

Wow amazing collection of dug indians!!

[@wedighistory2233]

Thanks man. hope to complete it someday

[@DetectingtheBurgh]

I'll always remember the Cashe. Congrat's on the Beautiful Class Ring and the opportunity that you have to return it. Make sure you get it on video. I have that on my wish list as well Shane. Congrat's on stealing that Merc out of Ray's yard..It just wasn't a RAY/DAY was it. Good video. Every time I see a video from you, or Frank, I just know, there's an outstanding find on it. Did you have that 1877 Indian appraised? I graduated in 1966 but I could not afford to buy a ring (I would have lost it anyhow) I was poor.

[@wedighistory2233]

Yeah, hopefully he will let me film it, that would be awesome. And yes, I did feel like I was stealing the merc lol. I too could not afford a class ring and with my track record of losing things, no doubt it would have made some metal detectorists day some day lol. Thanks again Keith and HH

[@sfpanther7]

Great Find!!!

[@wedighistory2233]

thanks!

[@DiggingMichigansHistory]

That's a fantastic hunt, huge congrats! I've been thinking about getting a second intercept/dansco album for my dug wheaties. Now I wanna get an indian head album too.

[@wedighistory2233]

Thanks man. yeah, I want to do the Wheaties and mercs next...

[@Huntingcoins]

Verry nice ring, hope to find one to...

[@mynytdiver9617]

Finding the rings owner! What a great end to the story!

[@quinnswingler197]

fantastic.......

[@molozakos4084]

great ring .

[@Larry342516]

I hope you do give the ring back to the person that lost it. Nice finds. Don't curse yourself and keep that ring. Isn't worth it. Thanks for the video.

[@wedighistory2233]

Yes sir! and you're welcome :)

[@marlenemcgovern808]

I hope you find owner or family the ring belongs to. That would. be a great story!

[@randyhead6481]

Really cool coincidence!

[@wedighistory2233]

yeah :)

[@christopherabernathy4236]

Silver Shano, DukeOfMcDuffle is who my comment was directed to. Read down a few comments from this. Ring cleaned up very nice.

[@wedighistory2233]

oh, well you made a new comment, all you have to do is reply under his comment, so naturally I thought you were talking to me. Thanks for clarifying though.

[@goldbunny1973]

Great find! but I'd hand the ring over and show everyone photos of it. Maybe one guy sold the ring to the other guy who buried the coin cache....and he's the one who really lost it - Did you consider that? lol!

[@tonyam.galang]

Love your vids...u find awesome treasure!!!!

[@wedighistory2233]

Thanks Tonya. Appreciate the compliment. :)

[@RockStar182]

Nice video!

[@CTTodd1]

Very nice video. What did you use for a video camera?

[@CrunchyBrownieFilms]

Coin from 1903 was probably dropped by whoever was making the house

[@s.ildiko1341]

crazy coindience... just ask the universe and u shall receive

[@1hungryjack]

If you look inside I bet you could find the initials of the original owner, probably about 77 years old.....

[@lukevonhimmleborhg1955]

love the fact you guys use whites! i use a whites Spectrum XLT..best I have ever used

[@wedighistory2233]

yeah we love them! don't need anything else

[@lukevonhimmleborhg1955]

Same!! Everybody now a days is into the latest greatest fancy kind and im thinking....yeah my whites Spectrum XLT can still preform just as good as the others if not better even lol

[@julianvillegas3093]

What kind of metal detector do you use

[@penguinchick6563]

film the return please? :) cool finds!

[@superdave54811]

The first find was a Russian name "Magko" with the year '94. The "b" at the end is a silent accent letter. The backwards "s" is a g. It also signifies it is a year, also written as "год" or god for the word year.

[@wedighistory2233]

Thanks!

[@pierreleclerc6156]

THATS THE KIND OF STUFF GOD LIKES TO DO.

[@DayAfterPenguin]

The piece of jewelry you are holding at 00:56 written in Russian last name and year " Магков 94г RUS - Magkov 94 ENG". It would be the gift signed and presented to the loved one in 94. Not sure if 1894-or 1994. Hope this helps,best regards.

[@wedighistory2233]

Thanks bud :)

[@genesismojica2830]

you were a good person buddy.

[@MaskedMarvyl]

You should post a photo or short video of the person's reaction when they got their ring back again. That would be cool....

[@wedighistory2233]

yes, I will

[@mainediggerrick]

Just not fare how you find alot of awsome finds. Now you have people putting signs up for you where all the goodies are. I found a 1951 gold class ring and its amazing how they clean up it looked brand new. I took it back too the company in my town where they made it and we couldnt find owner guess he would be in his 80's now.To top it off the guy offered me $10.00 for it. lol I wouldnt even take $1000.... maybe 2000

[@wedighistory2233]

lol, yup.. yeah, 10 bucks seems a just a little low... haha, love it when these dealers and people take us to be complete morons. I've never sold anything, but I've had stuff appraised and it's just amazing how low they try to get stuff for.

[@timesfly1081]

Small town or just luck on finding the owner of that ring so quickly? Stand Up move Returning it by the way. You made me decide to buy a detector lol. Keep up the good work man.

[@wedighistory2233]

Thanks bud!

[@jordanweaver9658]

is this all in a days work, or an overall of a week? Pls tell me the time frame

nicely, clearly, perfectly, alright, quite well !!!

[@scottmcpherson3074]

Wooooooy! That old key and class ring is one heck of a find! Too bad it's got the owners name on it. You probably couldn't display that without someone giving you a questionable look though haha. I would try to find the original owner and return it if you can, mate. Who knows they may even let you keep it. ;)

[@wedighistory2233]

Either way, just hope they are thankful for my efforts.

[@scottmcpherson3074]

Silver Shano Oh nice you are planning on returning the ring?

[@wedighistory2233]

yes, thought that was implied :)

[@wedighistory2233]

plus if you watched the whole video, I mentioned I was going to return it when I showed it cleaned up at the end.

[@scottmcpherson3074]

Silver Shano Indeed you did, my apologies mate. Well, good luck on your search! HH

[@gooberclese]

I live in Sharon Tennessee....I couldn't tell what other symbols are on that class ring but if it has an eagle on it it could maby be from someone who went to the old high school here

[@wedighistory2233]

It's Sharon, Mass which is the next town over from where i found it. But thanks for the comment!

[@johnedgren8502]

I hate seeing people rub the dirt off coins.

[@jimbriggs8648]

did you try locating that persons class ring?. Sharon is the next town over from me. any name on it?

[@and2409]

hi, can you recommend me a cheap but effective detector, i search for the mxt but is very expensive. Thanks

[@wedighistory2233]

I would consider a used MXT, but if that's still too expensive, a whites coinmaster. you can get them most places between 150 and 200 bucks. that was my backup machine for a while. good luck

[@treasurefacts2654]

Awesome story about the ring, I too wondered about whether you would try to return it... I figured you would! There is more wealth in returning. I too done the same thing a few years back... the person was shocked I took the time! Question though... when you found the bashed up jewelry box did you detect around it? Great video and pleasure to watch!

[@wedighistory2233]

That's really cool that you returned a ring as well. And yes, I searched all over the spot the jewelry box was with the detector, turned up nothing. Thanks again for the comment and HH bud

[@GoldRadioTalk]

I just sold my used MXT to get a new Gold Bug2. You guys sound Northern, I'm in NH.

[@wedighistory2233]

guys pls how do i get the best metal detector need to take it with me on vacation to my country

[@garyburns8040]

I have found $20 bills with my paper detector. I found a bunch of gold diamond rings in a parking lot. I figure the way I found them, that they collected insurance for them.

[@bobg0038]

Why do people rub the coins they find rather than clean them in water so you don't sand the value off of them? There's nothing like grinding sand and dirt on a coins face to increase the grade. Either way happy hunting.

[@christopherabernathy4236]

TheDukeOfMcDuffie If that was your ring that someone found, would you not want it returned?

[@wedighistory2233]

not if I didn't know it was found... but not sure why you are asking me this when I clearly stated I was returning it in the video...

[@doc2earth]

Yo Shano!, Not trying to be rude, but I was looking at your hands and the length of your nails and that led me to notice your finger print. Wow! 3:04 I know I'm weird so no need to go there.

[@wedighistory2233]

scroll down dude, you will see several other people say the same. Yes, my nails were a tad bit long, but it wasn't going to break the guinness book of world records.. And hey, no problem man, I noticed it myself, and I probably would have busted someone elses balls for it too. Thanks for watching

[@doc2earth]

Your nails and hands were clean during the recap. Good vid bro.

[@samuel19641]

I'm interested in how the ring got lost story myself...

[@megacharizard7446]

i have an 1867 canadian silver coin!

[@joshuashields7895]

I'm sure their he had a girlfriend who had something to do with that ring. It was common for seniors to let their girl friends wear them even today they still do it. What would make it more exciting than finding the ring would be finding the owner or his family and catching their reaction to that priceless moment. Please tape it if you find him

[@garyburns8040]

yea, the guy cheated on her and she threw the ring in weed patch and he found it.

[@davem5308]

Yes, I took to wondering where my HS Ring went, I figured my girlfriend from High School must still have it. She passed away just a few years ago unexpectedly, so the ring and it's location, is a mystery! Bums me out because when I was in High School, my Parents made us all work hard and save our own money for our High School rings, if we(my siblings) wanted one. Probably that ring, was among one of the first material things, I actually saved for, and bought for myself through my own efforts. Somewhere way, way, way, way, all the way back there in the 1970eez! Lol! If it matters, "our song" was "When I need you" by Leo Sayers. Those things go hand in hand, and we did our share of hand holding! Mixed memories! Lots of water under the bridge since those days! That looked like the classical clunky traditional guys ring. Mine wasn't quite that goddy, and I chose white gold. Nice find, and glad you will reunite the ring with it's owner. Good job! The stories, the endless human stories attached to "things" and "stuff". It's WEIRD and COOL!

[@davem5308]

Okay Gary, that brings to mind another incident from my own life-lol! My first wife was having a tantrum fit one day out in our drive, and was freaking out at me about some childish thing, and to emphasize her hysteria, she pulled her diamond ear rings off, that I worked so damn hard to save for, and buy for her, and she took them and flung them into the woods near the driveway. I was aghast! Couldn't believe it! Didn't know how I would ever find those things in the all those leaves and tree debris. Turns out, she had only put on a really good acting job. She really didn't give them the heave ho-fortunately! But I fell for it! SUCKER! That's me! She turned out to be a very long HELL RIDE!

[@arlene_rickard2646]

wow.. the coins are very expensive??:) is that really expensive ??wish i had a metal detect.. i wanna try it

[@wedighistory2233]

Hey Arlene, The coins can be worth something depending on their condition. Unfortunately the ground corrodes a lot of them, but silver coins come out great! watch my 500 silver coin cache video from 2 years ago, you'll see. The metal detectors can cost anywhere from 150 dollars and a couple grand, but the cheaper machines will still find great stuff. after that it's all about knowing where to go and learning your machine. I would recommend going with someone who is experienced who can show you how it works, and join a detecting club if there is one in your area. I'm in Mass, there are several in New England, and all over the states. let me know if you have any more questions, I will be happy to help. :)
