Metal Detecting - The Old Stirrup and Fatty Indian ! | Nugget Noggin

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Hey Michael, please show that indian cleaned up. Looks like it has full liberty and is close to UNC details. That's an AMAZING dug coin! Congrats!

[@Grumpy1970]

My son and I love your videos! He has to watch one (or 2) in the car on the way to school so he can talk about it to his class. Thanks for being respectful and polite in your videos...keep up the good work!!

[@nuggetnoggin]

That's Great to hear , and your welcome, more videos coming soon

[@appalachianhomegirl]

Just started watching your videos and I'm so obsessed! I love the history of your hunts and love learning from watching you hunt!! Keep up the good work

[@1zangelique]

Wow--that looks like it was a very good day! Lots of good finds. Thanks for the great video, NN!

[@bumpy9024]

Oh Nugget!!! The stirrup is one of the coolest finds I’ve ever watched!!!! I love seeing your junk finds too!! I find it all very interesting!! Ok I’m going back to watch more videos now 😊👍🏻

[@detecthistory5271]

You rock Nugget. Love the woods as well. So much more relaxing than a beach or park. Keep it up!

[@RobbWilliams11]

Great video Michael:). It would be awesome if the land owner lets you gold hunt the creek.

[@nuggetnoggin]

William did, he gave me permission to drive down there and put my dredge in the creek . so i need to test pan it to see where the hot spots of gold are

[@jewlmoore]

I always enjoy your videos, you found some good looking stuff on this hunt!

[@DetectorMoe]

I found two of these suspender clips last week... That little shield a nice found there bud!!!...

[@MegaStarbucker]

Your videos are so great, I watch all of them, sometimes more than once, and recommend you to all my peeps. You just keep getting better and better. thanks

[@bbcasting]

Really great video, thanks for posting! You should make a video of yourself dredging for gold in the creek too!

[@nuggetnoggin]

i will soon, He told me i could put my dredge in there . so i will be back.

[@grumpycat7214]

I love watching your videos man. Watch them everyday

[@jjohnson8081]

Beautiful place for metal detecting! Nice Finds!

[@JCbrello]

Michael, The chain is from a old horse bit. Called a Curb bit. Makes sense seeing you found the stirrup and horse shoes. I found one last year in the same area I found a bunch of broken bits and horse shoes.

[@addictedone]

I love your videos Nugget, keep em coming! This is an awesome site by the way :)

[@LMSmetaldetecting]

That Indian coin was in great shape! Nothing better than a nice day digging.

[@Jps3bs]

Great hunt as always ! The AT Pro sure is great on those relics! Congratulations on finding that beautiful 1860 Indian Head Cent! I was wondering if you ever use your Fisher F75 Ltd anymore? AT Pro is great on relics and Fisher F75 Ltd is one of the best coin shooters available.

[@nuggetnoggin]

i have a f75 regular, its from 2007, mainly dont use it because AT Pro does better at house sites and that majority of what i hunt, but yes it is a coin magnet

[@kelly623]

Awesome dig.

[@tn_indian9469]

Nm nugget I seen down below about the scrap. Guess I'm gonna start saving mine . Prolly threw away over a ton r 2 in last 3 years lol! Great job in the field! U have a good one there my friend. Will keep u busy for a very long time. Can't wait for the next vid !!!

[@DiggItUpTv]

Good video as always. Planning on going to an old fort site this weekend. Happy hunting.

[@chrisheatherly8641]

Killer finds man keep them coming

[@bubbanc01]

Nice hunt. It was 75 and beautiful on Tuesday, then snowed Wednesday night, here in the mountains. Ever thought about rebuilding the pocket knifes you found? They looked to be in decent shape if the rust isen't to bad, you might could get new side pieces, take them apart, clean, reassemble, and have a good little knife.

[@clinteigemann3539]

The Shield is sweet, the Indian is awesome, but the real score I think is that old stirrup, How friggin cool is that! Another great video, thanks man.

[@johnnybottles2344]

I've learned a lot from watching your videos and critique my own style, thank you I live on the coast of South Carolina near the North Carolina border.

[@TREEHUGGAH1]

congrats on the true treasure finds. way to go!!!!!

[@panhandlesharkteeth7910]

Nice!Lots of good finds!

[@Larry342516]

You had some very nice finds. Keep up the great videos.

[@vintagedazzle]

Cool stirrup, and I love that Indian head. They usually don't come out looking that crisp.

[@JohnJones-hz7ur]

I have to agree with all the nice comments you get on your positive attitude. You have learned to put together entertaining and well edited videos, but it is your general love of life that makes them fun to watch. Thanks for the effort. This will be a great group of video logs of what I imagine will be a lifetime love for you. By the way, if you ever need a new name, think about "Thas Awesome".

[@TheSilverBinder]

A great video and a good site thanks!

[@tfknauss]

Great job Michael, Thanks for sharing,, send some warmth up to us in Ohio,,Its been a long winter.

[@showmedirt2374]

Great Spot....Love the Indian...Would love to see you do a video on how you do your research and ask for permission to dig these spots..

[@nuggetnoggin]

i could talk to the owner and see if he will do a reenactment with how i asked for permisson lol.. now when it comes to research i like to keep that information for my self. sorry, but i currently work too hard to find my spots. i spent about 35 hours just to find the spot in this video lol.. its not marked on any maps.

[@showmedirt2374]

That would be a start on asking permission. As far as research I understand that completely. I live in Missouri, and would love to at least know how to start to find these spots.

[@showmedirt2374]

What He said...I'm a He. Thank you Wraith

[@StephenAndrew777]

Finding a button someone wore in the 17 hundreds 1 foot under the ground is really amazing.

[@godlikesmoke5009]

Love your videos keep it up!! also can you show us the after clean ups of the good finds

[@almoore4227]

Well dun good hunt I like to see when you clean it up at the end of the day like you say happy hunting and God bless

[@welshy6762]

Another great video, nice finds, enjoyed buddy GL & HH Paul.

[@Theditchwalker]

Pretty good hunt...Goodluck out there

[@WillieBHardagan]

Great finds! Too bad its soo hot there, could send some of temps in the teens to you if you send us some warmer stuff to melt all this dreaded white stuff here in WI

[@camprandy]

cool man. nice hunt.keep up the good work.

[@pccalcio]

That shield-little-thingy could be the point of a belt of some kind, like from a horse saddle belt. nice video

[@manudetect]

great finds there congrats

[@bshoreTV]

how do you get permmision and what kinds of sites do you use to find locations?

[@helema23]

first you make friends with the owner or one of their kids and then explain that you are a hunter an dwould like to hunt their property while promuissing that any junk you find will be removed as well. ie propose to remove all old nails if you can keep what ever else you find. at least thats how it works here in the south. mabey start by metal detecting your yard and you rrelatives yards im sure they would love to get rid of nails and spikes and will let you keep they goo dstuff.

[@leewhite3294]

@@helema23 Use one of your Hollywood sites you have (saves money). Next get someone connected to the show to "Plant" a little "Seed" money.. Just sit back and have an editor and director and collect your money. Of course you have to pay these people but you know that your aren't the one signing the checks........the studio is.

[@johnny75channel]

wicked awesome hunt nugget

[@nadinecoatesbrown812]

Wonderful hunt!

[@henrys3629]

What a coincidence, I collect trash. Nugget is stirrin' it up! That shield come off a side of a pocket knife?

[@curtishaywood2165]

Love the videos but, I would like to see you make one with your finds cleaned up so your viewers can enjoy your finds too... would love to see the coins, buttons and the rest so we can see details of your great finds... Thanks for the GREAT videos !!! Looking forward to the next big hunt...

[@jimallmon1994]

nice video, great spot, thanks for sharing

[@dougcoleman5346]

Michael, The chain looks like the ones they put on swords

[@martelnews]

Nugget we still have two feet of snow on the ground you're lucky dude great finds how about back in the day when you use to use a Fisher they are great machines have you tried any of the older 1200 series 1266 X 1236 x2 or the 1270

[@AKLDGUY]

In the days before zippers, mens' pants buttoned up at the front. Workers in the fields would take a leak right where they worked and lose a button once in a while. That's why you find so many buttons.

[@kokkonutfreaks]

When are you posting another video Nugget?

[@gregkerr725]

Good hunt Nugget!

[@philais]

Another winning video....u need a tv show!

[@MadisonMainedetecting]

Nice finds. I love that Indian its in amazing shape.

[@ScottAReid]

curious why you put the horse shoes in the trash pile? those are awesome and i'd be proud to dig those. one man's garbage is another man's treasure brother! love your videos!

[@littlenam5]

That shield button you found is a Civil War Shield/Badge.

[@bnm19711989]

That shield might be an Adjutant General shield that was formed in 1775 in South Carolina. I might be mistaken though.

[@stevenlaffer6868]

great videos... I am about to get into detecting and could use some help. is there any sites that you would recommend to assist in finding old house sites? How do you obtain permission for the sites you dig usually? and out of curiosity what do you do with all of your finds?

[@nmbassy]

Can anyone give me a date when flat buttons were last used? I've been metal detecting at my house that was built around 1955 and I found a little metal flat button...just curious thanks!

[@dancoolhand5121]

Nugget I dig a lot of relics and really enjoy getting out but I just don't know what to do with all my scrap iron finds. I am curious what do you do with the scrap iron you find? In your other video you mention you had 85 lbs.

[@1pushittothelimit]

What do you look up to find out where old houses were?

[@tn_indian9469]

Hey nugget what do you do with all the junk iron. Do u save it all and take it to scrap yard after u get a truck load? Thznks!

[@thegregcaraway7]

Awesome hunt

[@philfrederickiii2320]

When you find a piece of a metal pot, where or what happened to the rest of it ?

[@catchingfadesclashroyal6506]

How do you find out where old houses used to be? I'm in Calvert county btw.

[@user-ky6bo8jl1c]

looks very fun i want to try

[@MrSadie123]

nice hunt thanks bubba!

[@nmbassy]

@tfknauss-yes it has! I was able to go out for maybe 10 min before the snow wed, and I ended up finding a skeleton key handle but the ground was still mostly frozen!

[@InSaturnsRingz]

You're the fking man, Michael !!!!!

[@Shittykitty2000]

Where did you have your settings at on that AT PRO ?

[@billyxenakis2756]

Hey bud that 1860 indian has got a $30 value on it. Hang on to it!!!

[@capnmoregun6424]

Curious how far ol Nugget travels for these hunts, he does them quite often so Im assuming he lives in an ideal hunters location, lucky dog

[@cytokinestorm4868]

Nice hunt.

[@damagedtile]

Hey Nugget, I found a chain pretty much identical to yours here, 10 ft away I pulled out( my first old coin) a 1854 Large Cent and then my first 3 ring .69 cal. Minie Ball. Anyway, any ideas on what the chain was used for?

[@nuggetnoggin]

turns out my chain is a bracelet, i cleaned and has a place where it hooked together

[@Shittykitty2000]

I'm digging in Texas Gulf coast ... Been using at pro with settings at ZERO, discrimination at 33 nothing notched out in pro mode.

[@777Timo]

Awesome Indian man! You should change your name to "Ground hog" dang that's alot of diggin!

[@mtcooley]

I live in North Carolina also. What sources do you use to find old homesites or civil war camps here?

[@quinnswingler197]

What type of video camera do you use...

[@DudeStuff69]

Dude I have learned a lot about my AT Pro from watching you and Abby...thanks for doing these vids brother...do you sell the stuff you find? just wondering if this is your full time job? What a blast this must be!

[@nuggetnoggin]

Donald Wyckoff That's great! your welcome. I have never sold anything actually. I do have a lot of free time to get out and dig though. Not a full time job, maybe one day , if I can figure out how to make it work. Thanks for watching my videos!

[@DudeStuff69]

nuggetnoggin You got it man! Hey if you ever want to hunt Upstate NY I have 2 untouched areas waiting for the snow to melt. One is a 35 acre wooded area that was a turn of the century camp ground complete with 1 acre pond that borders a farm field and the historic Charlotte Creek...The second is the river bank next to a revolutionary war camp marked by the NY historical society...Let me know man, We have a sweet motor home you can stay in while your here! Just gotta teach me more about my machine!

[@jenniferzingalie8006]

How deep can the AT pro or Gold read a ring in salt water?

[@MrNako690]

very nice !

[@shade98765]

Nice.....beautiful Indian.....a lota work!

[@TeoDucky]

sweet videos man

[@timm2020]

Question: What low cost Pinpointer would you recommend? I am looking in the $25 - $75 range. Thanks

[@jmacksouthernstyle2739]

any specific brand your looking at I have two a cheaper on for about 10.00 and one for 30.00?

[@timm2020]

Any Brand will work ok. As long as I can find items with it. Please send me information on the two you have. Thanks

[@Zstarkey60]

when buying a pinpointer you dont want to go cheap I went cheap and hated that piece of crap. I ended up saving my money for a garrett pro pointer and that thing is AMAZING!!!!! it cut my location time down to minutes

[@timm2020]

Zach Starkey Thanks for the reply. I was afraid a cheap one would be that way. I will save some money and get a really good one. Thanks again.

[@jonathanfotografo]

What camera do you use?

[@Radinto]

Do you scrap tour trash finds?

[@Tomsondog]

I wish I new how to use my garrett at pro because my property use to be a farm back I have found a hoe and a cow bell also some nails and other stuff but it's not like what you find

[@rileyandjaydongriffin2426]

That is cool

[@sjfarish]

The stirrup was killer

[@CoinHuntingDrew]

Nice indian! AU coin easily, maybe UNC details just like JDsCoins said.

[@heatherhouse2131]

Good video

[@frogginwithsteve7790]

nuggetnoggin you need to make like T-shirts, Sweaters, etc.

[@nuggetnoggin]

ive thought about it. but then i would be so busy mailing out t shirt that i wouldnt have to time to metal detect lol

[@frogginwithsteve7790]

okay that seems reasonable

[@candymountainforge]

when are you gonna do a prospecting or dredging video?

[@hillbillyrockhound3643]

You need to detect the soup out of that 1st site

[@nuggetnoggin]

off trust me i will.. the house site will be hit to death . wont be a nail left by the time im done with it. lol

[@nuggetnoggin]

ohh , typo

[@skitsandfuntages7658]

You should do beaches with at gold near spring/summer

[@nuggetnoggin]

AT Gold isnt very well on the beach but will work there.

[@SmallWonda]

Good hunt - what DO you do with all the trash? Can you get scrap $$$ for it? :)

[@EmmEff72]

Pocket watch chain!

[@nebu7777]

=clearly you dig a lot faster than other people. I don't even get that much trash in weeks of digging.

[@Joshystyle]

Damn Nugget it always seems like you're near a creek...

[@nuggetnoggin]

That's right, i always dig near creeks, I can't keep my coil out of the water lol

[@grumpycat7214]

nuggetnoggin Love your videos man

[@47LeDoux]

If you sell your scrap, You must make a killing just selling that. I make a nice little bit selling mine and I don't find near as much as you do :-)

[@nuggetnoggin]

not a killing, but i dig a lot of iron of year.. yes i do scrap it.. 100 bucks for 100 pounds. its worth it. i dig 50 pounds of iron a hunt, dont take long

[@47LeDoux]

Well keep it up Love your vids and have been a fan from the beginning :-)

[@EVPpsycho]

nuggetnoggin That can't be right. 100 bucks for 100 pounds? Iron is definitely not 1$ a pound. Not even close. The more realistic figure would be 100$ per 1000 lbs.

[@nuggetnoggin]

Danny Buck yea it was a typo, i meant 1000, irons 10 cents a pound, and they give it to ya even when its all rusty. i even leave dirt on it.
