Metal Detecting World's Largest Coin Spill!! $50K Penny Spill In Henry Creek!!!!

[@ExploringAlabama]

Exploring Alabama Jr just put out another video finally!! Go check it out and give him a like and subscribe! kzbin.info/www/bejne/najFgJuqidWUfdU

[@AmericaTheEnslaved]

are you sure someone didn't just throw like three bucks worth of pennies in that creek to mess with people?

[@addisoncanning3583]

AmericaTheEngravy sauce lol

[@octaviogutierrez2113]

That’s why they check the dates

[@AlanWatts33]

not hard to find those dates

[@ichirakuramen7129]

Brett Hudecek Yes, Most pennies now are 2001 - 2018 pennies, 1970 pennies are pretty hard to come across with now, because they make lots more pennies every year.

[@silas6173]

A L that may be true, but hard to come by does not equal valuable.

[@BlackAlienTV]

that hellicopter was carrying $75,000 worth of PENNIES!!!!

[@ExploringAlabama]

possibly

[@alecharvey42]

does that river look like a tourist attraction? lol no..

[@butterfinger4393]

+Peter Hackschnetzler all the same date as the story claims ?

[@hannahparmer3952]

Yea like what genius decided I have 75,000 dollars let's cash them in pennies

[@CrazyNate]

I laughed so hard my stomach hurt!

[@scottydoesntknow254]

after one hard rain those pennies would be washed out way down creek

[@taylorwillis3853]

scott harrison a whole of them, rest would be stuck about against rock slicks

[@zachparker778]

scott harrison ever drop a rock in a river? pretty sure it sinks....JUST LIKE A PENNY OMG!!! its all about surface area and weight.

[@brandon7438]

Zach Parker no its about density 100% not about weight and surface area

[@zachparker778]

The Nova Clan we're talking a moving body of water son, that means the water will be flowing over every object, the bigger the object (regardless of density) will be pushed on by the water even more. A penny is very tiny and heavier then water, so....like a penny, it will sink, and stay at the bottom of the river, case closed! The question about wether it sinks or not is about density but we aren't talking about that, because we all know a penny will sink in water, period.

[@karinamendoza3092]

A penny would sink, but until it gets stuck between big rocks, or buried, it will still move down river, especially since it has that wide, wing-like surface. Here in Colombia, there is an illegal gold mine in a river between Cali and Buenaventura. After a heavy rain, the workers get very exited because the rain brings in more gold from the surrounding tributaries.

[@Liam-vt8de]

That's a good chunk of change to just leave lying in a creek. But that's just my 2 cents.

[@Grayk-ge5vo]

[@superbee-di5tp]

cheefy, I’m just wondering, did anybody check to see if they cleaned them up after the accident? Seems to me they would. That’s a hell of a lot of money to just forget about.

[@MetalDetectingDonna]

Lol

[@ExploringAlabama]

If you know of a larger coin spill put the link in your comment.

[@mr.x7536]

The 2016 penny spill in Delaware with 40,000 pounds of unstamped penny blanks, if any remained on the road they have turned back into dust because zinc pennies rot out quickly.

[@ExploringAlabama]

Finally! But, they were not yet coins. Next...

It dose not matter how many penny's he finds its still really cool because it's something that happened in history

[@ExploringAlabama]

I agree! Thanks so much for watching

[@cheyenneandreene2104]

Exploring Alabama your welcome

[@chriskaprys]

agreed. give me journey over destination any day. same reason i'm watching a video of a guy looking for old pennies in a creek bed, filming a bit of helicopter while he's there. if he found $70K or $50K or $10 worth of pennies, or just three of them, my life would be no different really. the shared sense of curiosity, adventure, wonder - poking around in the dirt and mud and rocks with a stick or a metal detector - with the pure undoctored joy of a child: that's worth the same no matter what he's holding when the sun goes down.

[@mikeramos916]

Jacklynn Coconuts ur absolutely ryt...😉

[@melindamesaros1858]

Exactly

[@JS-dn2mm]

So its the biggest coin spill in the world and you manage to find 3 pennies and a pull tab? You sir are my hero.

[@nathanpope5394]

After the third penny... "Well, only 6,999,997 left to go!"

[@ultronixextreme9115]

My grandfather ended up loosing his favourite tool kit due to a storm and flooding about 8 years ago, and he used to still mention how much he loved it and his own father (My great grandfather) gave it to him!, So I decided to ask my mom to please buy a metal Detector and we found it far away from his house underneath an old tree branch! 😄 He was so happy!

[@ExploringAlabama]

that is great

[@ultronixextreme9115]

He needed to go down stream a bit cause the water probably moved a lot of the coins.

If it was $70k in 1970 then it is like $2 million dolars now. I hope you know.

***** we are talking about the amount he found. I hope you know that

[@knowsbetter1]

***** also if you looked at the description you would know 50k worth of pennies in 1970 would be worth 50k today. Got it?

[@greenlawnfarm5827]

No. They would be worth more. Its how ecenomics works.

[@enriqueavila4093]

I am learning how to use a metal detector and good sweet stop to search Thanks 😺👏👏😺

[@Coin_Scavenger]

I once dug over $2 of Lincoln Cents in the same large hole. I actually had to give up and move somewhere else before I got them all. There was a large rock there so I assume kids were throwing them at the rock or maybe using a sling shot. Either way, I'll take them....lol. Nice video.

[@lisafarr2317]

Well done 4 finding some after all these years. Pretty cool finds.

[@nofoxgiven6315]

they did a good job picking them up either that or only 3 fell off the truck

he says there were 70k spilled. however the heading on vid says 50k pennies spilled.

[@josequins9099]

Any that were left behind would be scattered downstream now. Every flood would carry some down.

can you please tell me what kind of metal detector you use?

[@ExploringAlabama]

I use the Garrett At Gold. The Garrett AT Pro is better and cheaper. But you do not have to have an expensive one. Garrett has lower priced ones that do the same thing like the Ace 200, Ace 300, Ace 400.

[@lorirockwell9853]

[@patricka8101]

Yes

[@ExploringAlabama]

Negative, you are to watch the whole video or at least scoll to the end, then watch the one with the newspapers article about the crash. Then ye shall be enlightened.

[@karriescott8932]

Umm. As the pennies are sitting to be picked up, pennies are so light they get washed away before so Someone could pick them up, also it’s 70k pennies, I doubt they picked up ever last one, and 70k pennies is a lot of weight meaning that the weight on bottom pennies could have punched them under rocks.

[@apimpnamedslickback2748]

You telling me you think they were able to collect 100% of 70k worth of pennies.

[@FunDumb]

I was gona get all long and sensitive with all these haters around but its not worth... Thank you for your efforts! Happy Treasure Hunting

you know, in 43years of flooding they'll be washed a fair ways downstream.. :-)

the "wheel" u found is a roller from a semi trailer door nice vid

[@okjoe5561]

Or from a garage door.

[@vlogress11c81]

The shank is too long for semi trailer. Its an old garage door. Probably off a door from mid to late 70s. We use nylon rollers now. I used to work for a door company. I've also repaired semi doors. It would fit the time though. Maybe they used longer shanks back then.

[@akemiiao9417]

Wow, you did so awesome!!!! You found 3 pennies compared to 50,000 you are so good 10/10

The metal piece at 11:29 goes to a roll up door on the back of a commercial truck. It runs in a track the same way a garage door does.

No corrosion is from chemical activities.

[@deputy_p232]

at 18:02 notice that one penny has a mint mark below the date and the other does not which means they were minted at different locations. might not mean anything. any thoughts?

[@JIMinBama1]

I use the AT-Gold also and I love it . Tips you may not know . When the numbers and the little bar are jumping around wildly I learned a long time ago it is junk and since I am 64 years old now I leave those alone so I do not dig as much . If it is a coin the beeping sound is solid and the bar and numbers move very little to none, maybe just 1-2 places with one exception and that is when the coin is on its edge but still the sound is a higher pitch like all coins . When you dug the can if you had held the coil about a foot off the ground and waved it and still picked it up you would of known it was something large like a can . Found your videos resonantly and subscribed .
