Finally getting some rain (relic primer) here in Georgia. The signals were really popping on this hunt, including a stunning brass pipe! Come along and see what other coins and relics were found.

@4:42 you said my mantra! “Curse of the live dig”! It seems like 80% of the time when I dig something live, it’s crap. So they are edited out of the video usually. That pipe is one of the coolest things I have ever seen! Congratulations! Really good video! I’m glad I just found you. You popped up in my feed and I’m glad. Looking forward to watching all of them

[@jimmyb1559]

Really enjoy the fact that you let us see all the items really well and take time to show them in many different angles. Thank you for the videos. Really interesting.

[@BirdDogg]

That pipe is stunning! Another excellent hunt.

[@TarheelDiggin]

Much appreciated, BirdDogg - HH!

[@DetectorMoe]

Some unique finds there Matt.. Yeah the pipe a cool find, even it isn't to old but still awesome.. The large cent is a good find.. It seen when I find something like a large cent everyone else find them at the same time down in the south area. lol. Congrats on your finds in this video.. I always enjoy watching your videos... Thanks for sharing..

[@jimbonito3766]

sweet Matt nice condition the largie .. love buttons , sweet toe plate bent or not .. wow what a find never seen a pipe like that love your finds from this Hunt congrats Matt oh yes also the train plate /tag

[@franknorthcutt2958]

Always enjoy hunting with you! Nice large cent, railroad tag and the pipe is just outstanding! Happy hunting and be safe.

[@alwaysseekingsilver]

That pipe was a really cool find, even though it's not as old as it looks. Congrats on the largie, too. Nice camera work. Enjoyed!

[@williamsaunders5905]

The object top left is a retainer clip for a window screen. Nice hunt!!

[@PalmettoDigger]

Great hunt Matt. That pipe is super cool. Really neat that the flat button the was fixed by punching holes in it. Way to go!

[@TarheelDiggin]

The large cent was a nice way to start the day and I knew that flat button was old, so I spent most of my time working that one spot. So many signals in the ground! Can't wait to get back and find out what I missed. Thanks for watching, Shannon - HH!

[@jim44094]

This is a really nice video. Some I watch go on about family and friends half way thru the video. But you went right away to digging and then telling about the items. Keep up the great work

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks for the feedback, James - much appreciated!

[@TreasureHuntingSWPA412]

That pipe is killer! But you know that button is really cool too because it tells us how important something as simple as a button was back then. That they had to keep it and fix it. Now days we wouldn't even think twice about it and probably throw away the clothing it came off of.

[@TarheelDiggin]

So true - people valued their possessions back then and took good care of them. If something wore out, you fixed it. Seems we live in a "throw it out" society today. Thanks for watching, SWPA - HH!

[@ZachByrd]

Amanda says the pipe is now on her bucketlist. Killer find man!

[@TarheelDiggin]

LOL - Thanks Zach. I was bummed the brass pipe is not very old, but still a very unique find. Very fun to dig! HH

[@paulinescott9615]

Awesome finds!! I have the exact fleur de lis button.Thanks for doing all the hard work unearthing relics, I came to appreciate history and to hold the actual piece of it in hand is a very fascinating experience! I might look into some beginner metal detector :)

[@willyfog8784]

Nice finds! Greetings from Austria ;) And that pipe is awsome!

[@TwoToneJoe]

Fantastic relics buddy! Wowy! That pipe even though not super old is a gorgeous piece! I would totally enjoy a smoke out of it! With a little bit of civ and some old coinage to go along with it plus of course some awesome rail road history you have a fantastic video put together! Killer! Happy hunting Matt!

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks for watching, Joe - I just never know what's going to pop up out of the ground at this site. Looking forward to getting back there soon! HH

[@anastasiarose9003]

I love the pipe and the coin. So cool! I have subscribed so I hope you are still making and posting videos. You do a great job on them.

[@Jps3bs]

Beautiful 1853 Braided Hair Large Cent Matt😃 Awesome buttons and toe tap. Incredible pipe and relics😉 Very cool hunt my friend 🙋 Happy Hunting Matt

[@SouthernDirtMetalDetecting]

what a cool pipe! great finds Matt!

[@Dirtflicker]

That pipe is simply awesome. Great finds man!

[@jbolf6]

Outstanding Matt! The pipe and railway tag are amazing, as well as the history of the tag. Nice LC too, good digging

[@ryansmith9847]

The additional historic info you put into your videos really set them apart from most. I really like what ya got going Matt. Keep up the awesome work you're doing and thanks again for sharing.

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks so much, Ryan - really appreciate your feedback. HH!

[@swanzeysearcher7331]

what a great hunt Matt! love the pipe no matter the age. that RR was a great score. well done sir

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks for chiming in, Swanzey - always look forward to your comments. Much appreciated! HH

[@Coinazoid]

Congrats on the LC Matt and the pipe is awesome!

[@malbrech1]

Beautiful finds Matt. That pipe may not be very old but it sure is gorgeous. I really like the old railroad tag. I am a little partial to those, as my father was a messenger on railway express. He started with them in the 40's. I have a lot of his things yet. GL & HH

[@TarheelDiggin]

That's cool - my grandfather was a conductor for a coal company in WV. I still remember going for a train ride with him one time. I'm just glad I was able to research the RR tag and learn a little bit about the company. Thanks for watching - HH!

[@ddddddrrrr]

awesome finds brother!

[@DigginwithSeven]

Great hunt Matt. I saw the pipe on Facebook... thought it was older than that. No matter, it's still a great find. Sweet LC and I love the repurposed flat button; that's a unique find. My favorite is the RR tag. Enjoyed the research in that one. Great job! HH buddy.

[@superneo123]

That pipe is really cool, great hunt Matt dig on

[@discoverynorthcarolina9824]

That pipe is a awesome find in its self

[@terrestrialtreasurehunter2669]

[@PlugMasterFord]

Awesome Largie Matt!! I definitely would put the pipe to use...if I smoked..lol. Loved the research pics at the end, just brings even more life to a wonderful find..keep at it!! Jeff

[@DDMMetalDetectives]

[@tlimehouse]

[@anitajackson7469]

Awesome finds, Tarheel!

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks Mary - much appreciated!

[@johndivita4842]

Matt, I really enjoy your videos. You come across like a mature, intelligent, responsible, community minded adult, bravo! I greatly appreciate your interest in and passion for history. I love the harmonica music at the intro to your videos as well. It seems fitting to have some rousing harmonica music on your channel with your extensive experience digging harmonica reeds. Thank you for all your efforts in making your hunts and your videos. Since I've subscribed, I noticed your number of subscribers has approximately doubled. That's because you provide excellent entertaining and informative videos. I wish you continued success.

[@TarheelDiggin]

I really appreciate your kind words, John. It's comments like this that keep me motivated. I do a ton of research to find good locations for recovering these coins and relics. It's very satisfying to actually pull some decent things out of the ground from time to time. Thanks for watching, John - HH!

[@Bell2trac]

The pipe s seat find, and a wonderful Large Cent, but by far to me the RR tag is awesome!

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks for watching, Tony. When that large cent popped out, I thought I was in Ohio for a moment! HH

[@deborahwarren8343]

Awesome finds,

[@ripsrelics5404]

Sweet largie you got ...but that pipe was awesome....light it up....like the twin buttons....great hunt Matt.....hh...Tim

[@RelicMedic]

Well done Matt! I love those hunts where the finds span the ages. Looking forward to your next video!

[@TarheelDiggin]

Yes, there seems to be layers of history in the ground at this location. Thanks for watching, RelicMedic - HH!

[@DigDogs]

Very cool finds. I really like the pipe and then the tag, especially with the info you were able to get on it is just such a neat relic. GL and HH. We're finally getting some relic juice in TN as well. :)

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks for the kind words, Ron! I enjoy researching some of my odd finds. Sometimes the history is quite amazing. We got lots of Relic Primer in GA yesterday - more on the way today. HH!

[@steveclark4291]

[@christophermccrary8080]

@@TarheelDiggin if you ever are interested, I'm in middle GA, and have been working on a few possible sites. This area has been settled since the 1700s, at least.

[@Deborah-wn2yv]

Some nice finds, it was a pretty good day. My hubby and I really want to get a metal detector.

[@TarheelDiggin]

It's a wonderful hobby - a history lesson every time out! Thanks for watching - HH!

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks Charlie! HH

[@shanecorley6664]

Absolutely love the pipe........keep up good work.......I live in central Georgia and the large cents are hard to come by.....have yet to find one........found a flat button a week ago, made by scovill's between 1827-1840 .......HH

[@NcrebelRS]

Man, gotta love that pipe! The RR tag was sweet as well.

[@TarheelDiggin]

Yes, the RR tag turned out to be pretty darn cool. Thanks for watching, Raymond! HH

[@johnharvey8854]

Nice video!

I love that pipe, very nice.

😲wow sweet find

Awesome relics😁

Love that Pipe WOW !!!!

[@chuckduncan9098]

Love the term Relic Primer.

[@THing4CSA]

Congrats on some super finds! Happy 2017! ;-)

[@tambramccauley2132]

Love that pipe!

[@HondaCB900Custom]

I may be mistaken but I believe the Rail Road tag you found is a Harness Property Marker for the horses. The long slot would have a leather or canvas strap through it. I have seen similar tags on harnesses for carriage horses. They help ID the harness set up for certain horses and the fact that the harness belonged to the Rail Road. Now if I am wrong don't burn me too bad, LOL.

[@TarheelDiggin]

Hey, you could be right, Wingman. Not going to rule it out, that's for sure. Thanks for the input!

[@ErlefromVa]

The Night train and India pipe are very special finds Matt! Would love to be there and share a bowl of tobacco when you smoke the pipe! HH and thanks for sharing your hunt!

[@TarheelDiggin]

LOL - thanks Erle! I think when I find my first plate (box plate, breast plate, buckle) I'll load up that pipe and have at it! HH

[@petefloyd]

Out of sight on that pipe!!!

[@DuranSexton]

That pipe sure was exciting to see in the ground.

[@TarheelDiggin]

Yes, it was pretty amazing to pull that pipe from the hole. Makes for a nice display piece. Thanks for watching - HH!

[@denisesmith6547]

You've found Santa's pipe that he held tight in his teeth! Love it!!!!

[@TarheelDiggin]

LOL - that pipe is heavy! Santa might chip a tooth on that pipe. Thanks for watching, Denise!

[@kurtiswilson1567]

Tarheel Diggin' any info on that sterling ring with the hearts on it in your intro? I found one identical to it the other day.

[@TarheelDiggin]

I found that ring a couple of years ago at an old school yard in NC. I'm guessing it was made in the 1940's or 1950's. That's when the school was operational.

[@smug8567]

are smoking crack?

[@stonewallbook]

Awesome pipe.

[@jimgrisham6054]

cool finds bud

[@vintagedazzle]

Awesome RR Tag.

[@johnb2740]

Great assortment of finds. I'm still waiting for my first large cent. I've dug a few seated's, flying eagle cent, fatty Indians...maybe one day! lol

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks John! This was my first large cent in Georgia, so pretty exciting. It was real shallow and just about blew the headphones off my head! Still looking for my first Flying Eagle. Maybe one day it will happen. HH!

[@EdWeibe]

pretty cool. good video .

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks for the feedback, Ed - much appreciated! HH

[@EdWeibe]

your welcome. looking to charge up my Excallibur 2 once I find the blasted charger. lol. These videos get me fired up.

[@curiosidadesextrano]

The pipe is beautiful. What detector did you use? Thx for sharing.

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks! On that trip, I was using a Minelab E-Trac.

[@mynameisneb]

Oh nice, I live in Central Georgia. If you're ever down here again let me know, good permission and knowledge from the locals always helps with finds!

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks Benjamin - I live south of ATL, but do quite a bit of detecting in Central GA. HH!

[@mynameisneb]

nice! I'm an hour south of there and work at ATL (Don't ask how I handle that commute 😂)

[@DetectorLuke]

great pipe

[@historiayantiguedadesxalos4822]

I liked you video 👍🤓

[@sarahm.1326]

@roller jones what kind of metal detector do you use in GA soil? Is it manual or automatic soil equalizer?

[@crimeacrimean9609]

Greetings from Ukraine! very good find. I subscribe to your channel. I wonder. You have a rich history of the area....

[@arkansasdetectorist2551]

That clip is off an old window screen.

[@brianquilty687]

Very cool finds. I did not know that they actually used horses to pull railway cars. That is a very nice large cent , and maybe that brass pipe was not for smoking tobacco ........ ??? wink, wink, ....nudge....nudge....

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks Brian - much appreciated! One of the benefits of this hobby is all the history I'm learning as I go. Like you, I never knew anything about the horse drawn rail cars until I researched this old RR tag. HH!

[@mcgenius99]

we in the same area ...been lots of rain...just got a metal detector just last week ...just been finding junk in my backyard so far

[@obtucewillie]

A pipe found out in the woods made in the 60's - Hmmmm. HH - Willie

Oh now I see

[@treasuretalk7026]

Awesome vid and great finds! What video editor do you use and how long does it take you to upload your videos? Love my etrac too! GLAnd HH

[@TarheelDiggin]

Thanks so much, Jeff. I use the standard Windows Movie Maker editor. It takes me about 2-3 hours to edit and save the video, another 30-40 minutes to upload. Glad you're using an E-Trac - I love mine! HH
