[@WestmorelandDetecting]

WTH! All I can say is wow! Congrats to Bob! Kurt thank you so much for the shout out brother!

[@thehooverboys]

+Westmoreland Detecting My pleasure brother! Long overdue. Hopefully you'll get the traffic to your channel that you deserve

[@f75digger89]

What a day. Special congrats to Bob for the hammered and a super day for buttons. Enjoyed the video.

[@procaliadventures]

That is a ripper of a hammered coin, a dream find for sure, congrats to Bob, and to you for this very enjoyable video, hope you get yours soon. Gl and hh.

[@thehooverboys]

+ProCali Adventures I can only hope so. Thank you! Best of luck

[@douglasvilledarling2935]

I love Bob's dry humor. He cracks me up!

[@thehooverboys]

Bob is the best

[@SDAddario88]

Your speech from 16:54-17:35 describes exactly what I think about every time I dig an old coin. People make fun of me all the time for spending hours upon hours digging in the dirt. I tell them "It's not about the coins-- it's about the history the coins represent. Every coin/artifact found represents a piece of our history, and I'm honored to rescue it from the Earth." It's speeches like yours that make your channel my all-time favorite. Please don't stop making videos. GL and HH.

[@thehooverboys]

+Just_Me02 You have an awesome outlook on what we do. I feel the same way. I love looking around and just imagining what went on so long ago. Thank you for the kind words and the support. Best of luck to you.

[@60archer]

Congratulations Bob! That's incredible! We both joined the club almost at the same time! I just popped a 1554 - 1558 Phillip and Mary hammered shilling on the Ma Ct border, two Sundays ago. I'll post a photo on Stealth Diggers in response to this video ...So friggin cool! If only these coins could talk!

[@thehooverboys]

+Jim Aktiv I saw that! Unbelieveable! Huge congrats

[@AncientAdventures]

I remember watching this on my old utube channel. Had to watch again! So kool. All the possibilities we encounter hunting history!

[@thehooverboys]

This was such a crazy day

[@stephaniesander5465]

My heart started pounding with the identification of the hammered coin. Congrats, Bob!

[@thehooverboys]

Thanks Stephanie! That coin still blows my mind

[@wingrovedl]

I vote "Best Find of the Year" so far. Way to go Bob !

[@Unclebub34]

Terrific find with the hammered!!! Most people have to go over to the pond for something like that, once in a lifetime find in the USA. Huge congrats!!!

[@thehooverboys]

+Wldbil Thank you! I feel the same way. So happy for Bob. HH

GL, HH, and as always... DIG ON!

[@EricK-to6zi]

Great reaction from Brad. Bob, great find. There is a lot of acreage in that field. I have a feeling some other treasures are coming soon. Kurt, thanks for another great video. i look forward to lunch every Wednesday.

[@garymozingo3383]

Nice hunt guys. Super nice hammered coin in the USA...wow what can you say. Great GMI button, those are rare and also those flat buttons with the eagle on back. Looks like a good spot, just have to clean up the the place but I'm sure there more good finds lurking out there. Talk about counterfeit coins, found a 1853 2 1/2 Dollar gold piece several years ago in a CSA camp that was bogus... still neat. Good video Kurt.

[@thehooverboys]

+PAPlugPopper AndBuzzkill Thank you! Bob and his brother have been pounding it for months. They made some awesome finds when it was fresh. We know there more. HH

[@InskeepJohnson]

[@threefortytwo23]

+Southern Maryland Metal Detecting I'm a mere days away from finding my first gold coin, it'll be aight.

[@b270h]

Not if I find it first Brad . Thanks

[@ellieboottreasure7917]

I love your passion for this hobby Kurt, I feel just the same. I live in England and have been detecting now for 30 years. My latest permission is the site of a 16c battle between the English and the Scots. My first dig produced a small musket ball and a Elizabeth 1st sixpence dated 1564 and that is what prompted me to comment here as Bobby's hammered is of similar date. Keep the vids going, they're great. I look forward to them each week. Thank you!

[@thehooverboys]

That’s awesome Helen! I wish we had that kind of history but I won’t complain. Love our history as well. All the best

[@jerrydineen2827]

That place is just as good as Wal Mart. Congrats on the coppers and to Bob on the hammered. Awesome finds Kurt.

[@jbolf6]

Brad couldn't even defend himself! Great GMI button find, and Bob knocked it out of the park with the hammered silver. Congratulations Bob

[@thehooverboys]

[@PennsylvaniaTreasures]

Awesome hunt guys! Huge congrats Bob on the fantastic hammered! The one button Bob dug with the holes in it would be a early-mid 1700's blowhole button missing its front piece i do believe. Way to go on all the amazing finds!

[@thehooverboys]

+Pennsylvania Treasures Thank you Seth! Thanks for the info too. It looked 2 peice-ish to me. Makes perfect sense. Best of luck!

[@dougbourdo2589]

The history you all find is incredible. Bravo to you for your efforts, all.

[@OurPastAu]

Awesome find for sure!!! Great video and EXCELLENT finds! I watched another video recently (NQ Explorers) and they found a hammered coin in Australia, which is also a very hard thing to find since Australia was only colonised by the british in 1788! 1561!!! FANTASTIC FIND BOB!!! Looking forward to next weeks video. GL&HH Jacob.

[@thehooverboys]

+Digging Australia Thank you Jacob! Hammered coins are an amazing find wherever in the world but outside of the UK is incredible! Best of luck!

[@ThePowrsurg]

Hey Hoover Boys, I found a 4 Meravedis from 1540s. The way you put the British hammered into perspective is exactly how I feel about my hammered. if only that coin could talk.

[@thehooverboys]

That’s awesome Bill! Huge congrats

[@azmetaldetector5918]

All I can say is wow. I actually went on a MD trip to the UK and only found 1 hammered coin but it wasn't that big. King Edward IV. Congrats Bob

[@oofeeleelee6556]

One of the Hoover Boys videos I go back on for motivation when I haven’t found anything in a while😂

[@Bell2trac]

All right now I have almost seen it all! Tell Bob congrats and I am so jealous......but in a good way! That is the kind of find that makes you feel when you dig a Largie. That you got bazingaed! I dug one of those buttons with a Eagle and shield on it too.....but never dug a hammered coin...well a couple that look like they were hit with a sledge hammer! lol!

[@thehooverboys]

Hahaha! Thank you Tony! It was a crazy day

Unbelievable is a hell of an understatement!!! How the heck does 1500s hammered British wind up in the U.S.? Well, I know how, but still that's once in a lifetime find for only a handful (if that) of dectorists in the US. Excellent find for "Button" Bob! I bow to him! 😀😀

[@TimWebsterArt]

Thats awesome man! I found a Hammered earlier this month. I think mine was a Groat. The outter portion of the coin (the letters) was cut. Really interesting, because the coin was minted before John Smith exploring the Chesapeake.

[@thehooverboys]

+T Webster That's amazing! It's crazy knowing that coins like this are actually in the U.S.

[@RandolphRelicRecovery]

What a find! There is nothing I can say! I started writing something witty and just had to delete it. Damn! Bobby is the man today! Even without the 455 year old silver it would have been a record day!

[@thehooverboys]

Thanks Randolph! Crazy crazy find. Love to know her story
