+I DIG HISTORY awesome video! you just got one more subscriber.

[@imjody]

Your knowledege on all of your finds is absolutely incredible! 🤯

[@Mobliz]

If I get even half of that in a life of detecting I'd be happy. I hit 46 parks in 2017 and got 1 silver coin lol.

[@anthonywagstaff]

Mobliz That sucks! I don't really do parks anymore. I mostly dig sidewalk strips and permissions.

[@russpink4185]

You should be hitting the beaches all over.. that’s where people drop gold ring an everything lol

[@kennyc388]

Stay away from casinos.

[@user-dn6qy1ou1f]

Beaches and under bleachers at public parks and ball fields are where I've done the best. And around old barns as well

[@dorrisgonnawreckyou7111]

dont fall for it, no way in hell did he find all of this in a year, no one earth has lol

[@robertwooley9625]

Well done! No irritating music... no bad filming... put together nicely

[@siekotik_4420]

[@thedankboi915]

Nice the most interesting thing I’ve ever found was a 5 foot long metal pipe

[@betsiecrother1443]

OMG THIS IS SO RAD!!!! What a history lesson. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@MetalDetectingDonna]

It’s so cool!

[@barrywainwright3391]

Why would this video get 683 thumbs down when this guy had the most amazing first year of metal detecting I have ever seen. You gotta be kidding me? There sure are a lot of haters and jealous folks out there. And he has amazing knowledge of what he finds and did a superb informative video. My hat is off to him.

[@robertwooley9625]

Hands down, The best "What I've found" video I've ever seen!! WIDE array of goodies!! GUARANTEED to make the viewer want to rush out and buy a detector!! Green with envy!

[@susanpayne6107]

You did an excellent job of of hunting the 1st year! I love the history too! Keep the bullets. Keep it all. Wish I could do this. I watch all the videos. I am old now and disabled but if I knew then what I know now I would have kept so many things.

[@josuefbonilla1197]

You inspired me all the way. Thank you. Thank you. Such a awesome and watchful video collection to watch!! VERY COOL!

[@kennorton1478]

Seeing the look on the face of an original owner of one of these rings when they reunited is priceless.

[@dooparoopshipitybipboopbop4551]

I am speechless! I have been metal detecting for 5 years and the best I’ve found was a modern rifle bullet and a buffalo nickel. 😂

[@jeffgorley1538]

Keep going!

[@joshuaastrach2211]

Get a new detector, find better spots, or just give up

[@jeanponce2017]

The part of the country you live in might have something to do with it so it might not be as much as you not finding good spots or not setting the detector to get the most out of it

[@dford4003]

WOW !! You have a GREAT collection !! I started 2 years ago, i wish i had started when i was a young man like you.. KEEP ON DIGGING HISTORY !!!! SOME PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO ERASE IT !!! Young men like you can help make it stop .. GOD BLESS

[@eddiespagetti8395]

Wow alot of fun finds. Looks like me and wife are buying metal detectors and start new pass time , many beaches here and parks and forests here. Great fun. Thanks for sharing.

[@wendykelly8551]

Just came to this.. You actually found all that jewellery.. Amazing. Xx

[@spynlcolmn]

I want to say, "Thank You" for showing us your finds WITHOUT a lot of profanity. What a pleasure, my friend. Ole Johnny B.

[@anonymousk8029]

Im going mad watching this!!! History, coins, medals, jewelery etc you name it...fascinates me sooo much! I constantly visit antique shops to purchase items like these. Pass them down to your family and generations to come. Congrats!

[@georgealderson4424]

I like the way you have a selection of ordinary metal as well as gold and silver sir. It is an interesting collection and you have obviously been very busy. Incidentally the King George V is a British old penny. There were 240 old pennies to make one pound sterling before we became decimalised in 1971. Keep up the good work and good luck. Blessings and peace from UK

[@2MoreDoxies]

Grandkids and I are just getting detectors at Christmas this year! Cannot wait! Your year of finds is a great video to watch and so inspiring! thanks for the work posting it!

Check the date on the UK 2p coin, if it's 1983 then it's rare and quite valuable...

[@supernoob7064]

It has to be a New Pence minted in 1983

[@theutonic001]

Garbage for some... treasure for others. This saying is so true in this case lol.

[@shrekpower]

[@dogismyco-pirate]

I love history, especially the history below our feet. it's like Christmas every day I get to dig. can't wait to see what the new year brings for every one. best of luck cheers Nathan

[@anthonywagstaff]

Couldn't agree with you more Nathan. Good luck out there!

[@jasmine55183]

It's funny how you watch this video only to see how much gold he found and then you get to see all other old cool stuff and its super interesting good job my friend....

[@myhappynest6125]

Wait...you found all of these items in one year? Did you go metal detecting every day? I just can’t get over all of the items you’ve found. Really cool!

[@deepdiggerduo2920]

Holy Crap, you dug a TON of very cool stuff. Congrats on an excellent year!! Best of luck in 2017

[@anthonywagstaff]

Thanks man! That was a lot of digging. Hope I can do even better this year. I really want an 1800s coin!

[@feetthong624]

[@FloridaRobTreasureHunting]

Just watch this video. Great selection of finds. Very enjoyable to watch as they were well presented, cleaned and displayed. Well done.

[@guadalupeknippen2636]

What great finds! I would say that you did have a good year. 🌼🦋

[@yerdigginitmetaldetecting]

Incredible finds! I would've never guessed that you were a relative rookie, just at it over a year ...you're going to be dangerous, a force to be reckoned with once you get good at this. 😎

[@anthonywagstaff]

Thanks man! Yeah, I got started by watching youtube diggers about june or so of 2015 and by Late august I ordered my AT pro. I wanted to be like JD and Dr. Tones. I am still learning every time I go out digging.

[@Gasp7000]

[@anthonywagstaff]

Thanks man! I am definitely addicted to the hobby! Good luck out there this year

[@jeremynolden69]

Crazy, I thought I was the only one that detected in Washington state lol! On the east side. Great stuff, looks like your addicted like I am!

[@MetalDetectingDonna]

Me too! The swinger anonymous meetings are all empty though! No one wants to give it up! 😎

[@stevew9584]

Great!!! You also know the history of the items you’ve discovered which is awesome,

[@TGBCH]

wow some great finds, thanks for sharing

[@Chuck-he1jd]

So wild to see other parts of the world and what they find. In the North east USA I get about 10 Indians heads a year and get some mid 1800's silver but not a a lot. A few large cents and the usual stuff. You have a lot more variety then we have hear. I am dancing if I find one old Colonial shoe buckle a year! and I dig a ton of trash. Good video!

[@anthonywagstaff]

I would love to dig on the East coast! I am lucky that the town I live in was built up around a fur trading post/military fort from 1824, otherwise I doubt I would be as successful finding 1800s coins/relics out here on the west coast.

[@qumecz564]

chuck smith 👍🔝

[@couchcollectibles]

Awesome finds dude! I need to start detecting myself I live by some great spots. My house was built in 1890.

[@anthonywagstaff]

Wow! I would definitely want to hunt an old house like that! If you do any detecting would you video it?

[@couchcollectibles]

Yeah I would definitely film it!

[@samuelecanovi5672]

YOU HAD BETTER LUCK THAN I DID. ONLY THING I DUG UP WAS MY EX WIFE

[@pablovaldes2810]

u shouldn't hav dug that up lol

[@7bcity]

Where u burried her when u killed her.

[@bayriderspwc5892]

You wanted her back that bad hey?

[@Channel60291]

15:38 That’s 2 1/2 of special forces soldiers. One of them got no legs but that doesn’t stop him from killing terrorists

[@rayallen7016]

I started detecting in the early 80's ; would find a silver coin or two about every time out..almost impossible to find one these days though..went with my friend the first time he went out ..watched him dig up a Peace dollar at an old park that day ; next week sold my Browning shotgun and bought a Whites Coinmaster..80,000 coins since then ..best find is a 1 oz. 14k men's chain .

[@johnr7279]

Very cool group of finds!

[@varghen0]

4:43 That golden coin below the Singapore one is a 20cents€ from my country, Portugal.

[@xdangerjtx2102]

And that gold coin below your coin with a bird on it from my country, Indonesia.

[@hoborock007]

Good commentary... you knew a little something about every category It's fun to watch the video... must be a thrill to dig some of that stuff up I like the class ring.... someone lost that a long time ago.... probably wondered what happened to it for years.... there was a Stephen King movie Christopher Walken was in it... he had this power ...that when he touched something.... he could see the person who touched it last .......wouldn't that be cool...

[@anthonywagstaff]

hoborock007 Thanks bud! That would be awesome!

[@marklikeinthebible]

I imagine a girl chunked that ring lol well that's what happened to mine

[@qumecz564]

[@Metrorenovationsandmore]

WTF??? Dude, if that was your FIRST year detecting. I SALUTE you for digging EVERYTHING! I've been doing this for 40 YEARS I still dont do that!!

[@angelmendiola4524]

This is great i need to add this to my to do list thanks !👍

[@JasonVectrex_187]

I did it just on my own yard only for fun and found a lot of cool stuff, no gold, maybe some silver and wheat pennies, and a few Indian head pennies, it was fun I just didn't have the drive to hunt elsewhere, if I ever buy another house maybe I'll pick it back up again :) good video, don't know how this showed up in my suggested videos....

[@anthonywagstaff]

Jason Rotbergs Thanks Jason! If you found all of that in your yard, you should do your yard again. You'll be surprised what you missed.

[@JasonVectrex_187]

I DIG HISTORY lol. It was 10 years ago with a not so high tech detector, but the yard is small, I went over it until I heard no more beaping, and nothing displayed on the detector, but still with a tiny yard I still found over 2 dollars of old coins, some silver and some old, lots of super old bullet casings, I'll check out the rest of your videos, are you still actively hunting?

[@anthonywagstaff]

Jason Rotbergs You know how many times I have said that? It is never hunted out.

[@Mark.N]

Great first year! Seeing the mass of pull tabs sure keeps it real. With 3 months in, I gotta say I just Love this hobby! Excellent work!

[@anthonywagstaff]

Thanks Mark! I wanted to show how much bs you have to dig to get good stuff. Some channels just show amazing finds and it just doesn't really happen that way. I have had silver droughts that lasted more than 10 hunts in a row, but never let it discourage me from getting back out there. I'm so hooked! Good luck, and I hope you have a killer 2017!

[@PHILIPWATSON82]

Here in Canada 🇨🇦 golds Going for a pretty penny. Full price each gram is worth $50 as of now and totalled around $1,500 an ounce. some places where I live, pay upwards of $28 a gram 😬

[@anthonywagstaff]

I only see it going higher as trump takes office.

[@robertblain3193]

the 30-03 blanks could be very collectible, only made for 3 years or so. the 30-03(1903)replaced by the 30-06 (1906). nice job!!

[@anthonywagstaff]

They are super collectible. Too bad they are rotten. There are less than 700 non-converted 30-03 Springfield rifles left in existence.

[@jbolf6]
