About Nugget Noggin:
Hey! I'm Michael, I love to get outdoors and discover awesome things
with my metal detector. I started treasure hunting when I was 12 years
old and shortly after received my first metal detector. Since then, I've
been hooked and just love going out to search for the unknown. You
may see me in the woods crawling under an old house or diving down
in the river to search for rings. Wherever the adventure brings us, I'll try
my best to keep you entertained.

I can remember so many times you and your granddad went detecting when you were younger and couldn't drive. It's wonderful to see you doing the same for him! God bless you, Michael. We all need to honor our elders.

[@honey5bucket]

When you get back in from detecting, sit your Grandpa down at the kitchen table, pull out your portable tape recorder, and ask him to tell you about his growing up days. What does he remember about his parents and grandparents. I wish I had.

[@brandyj.8321]

A thousand times yes!

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

anon y mouse, I actually have a recording of my dads grand parents from probably the 70’s. I’m not sure who taped them but it is one of my favorite things from them. My dad was one of 5 kids and so they had lots to take about. I have 7 grandkids and I am making journals for each of them. I think one day they will really treasure them.

[@mollysmomndad2]

Me, too. I wish I had recorded my Grandma....

[@bethshadid2087]

You are not alone. If we'd just taken the time 😓

[@jamesandersom2520]

To go detecting with your Grandpa,must be a precious time.Love your videos.thanks

So true, time with Grandpa is the greatest treasure

The older folks are treasures in this world! 💖 👍😆

[@mollyquinn9120]

Time spent with your grandfather is a blessing. Don't forget to ask him questions that will lead to long stories about family history. You will never regret listening & record the important treasured stories. ♡

[@stephenherr6541]

It is great you spend some quality time with your grandad, I am 62 years old and still miss mine. God bless !

[@kennethhuber3658]

It's nice that you are making memories with your grandfather. My grandfather died in 1965, and I still think of him often.

[@lizzymoore54]

Such precious memories you and your grandpa are and have been building together, Michael. Love, never to be forgotten. ❤️

[@chiefkirk]

Mike thanks for spending time with your Grand Father. As a Grandfather myself, I know he appreciates it. Remember that every day is one day less you'll have with him. Enjoy him while you can. God Bless.

[@guillermodvl]

It's not one day less, it's one day more they spent together.

[@dust1ification]

It is great that you are out with your grandpa! We need more men like you.

[@dayleeclaton9219]

Love that you took your grandpa out with you, you had a great time with him, good to spend time with the elder generation, you look a lot like him, same build etc. God Bless You!

[@IanYGath]

It is really nice to see you out with your grandpa. If my grandkids would go out detecting with me I’d be tickled pink. You are a blessing to him. Thank you for a great video. 😃👍🏻💖✝️

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

Ian Y Gath, our grandkids are all under 8 yrs old. They are why we got a detector. I know they will enjoy treasure hunting with grandpaw.

[@wilber9735]

As a grampa, I applaud you bringing yours along. I am glad he had a good time. It is always fun to watch your videos.

[@RachelRenee3636]

This makes me so happy. I am so grateful to watch your pap go treasure hunting!! My pap doesn't go defecting, but he rides a Harley. God bless!

[@ZeroDiscrimination]

What a wonderful way to spend the day with your grandfather! Memories made! Super sweet finds and a nice silver ring! Thanks for sharing and happy Hunting! ~ Gypsy

[@jamesveach6918]

That item you found is a needle threader it looks like a coin that it is a needle threader it has a wire coming out the top you stick through the eye of a needle pulling thread through that's what it is a needle threader

[@M.Boatwright]

Yea I think so my grandmother had some

[@zerofail.455]

I agree. Needle threaders were common in store bought sewing kits. They always had that ornate Roman coin look but were made of flimsy metal.

[@ellens2896]

I was thinking it was a charm off a cheap coin bracelet.

[@nickitodd275]

But he said it showed up as brass. I bet it was jewelry bc the ones that were needle threaders were made of aluminum

[@M.Boatwright]

@@nickitodd275 you may be right it does seem like the ones my grandmother had was aluminum

[@shawnmcpeak6184]

little brass thing with hole in it is a needle threader. It had a looped wire attached to pull a thread through the eye of a needle. Glad to see you are enjoying the time with your Grand dad. I'm sure he is enjoying you also.

[@rondathiesen9317]

So glad to see you spend time with your grandpa! Precious memories! love the ring! God Bless

Taking your grandpa out is so sweet! Great finds 😄⭐👍👍👍

So cool you involved Grandpa, I bet he enjoyed it as much as we did watching TYSM for sharing : @ )

I remember years ago watching videos with you and Gramps and I think your dad. That was a long time ago. Good to see him again. Thanks for sharing

[@TheRubenGalvan]

Yes, your elders are a precious item. Enjoy all the time you can spend with them, They might teach you a thing or two.

[@RhettyforHistory]

That's awesome your grandfather got you into this hobby and now you're still going at it together!

Loved this video with your grandpa. You are an awesome young man. Keep up the good work!

[@edwardmartin1742]

Thanks for the wonderful video, Nugget. It's very nice of you to take your grandfather with you. I wish I had a grandson who would take me metal detecting. Waiting for your next video. God bless.

[@kimyork6774]

I just think you are such a kind man taking your grandfather is sweet.

[@tamitoohey2392]

Amazing watching you with your Grandpa. Surprised your coil found anything on the ground. Time with his is more precious than any gold coin. Thank you for another great video!!!

[@n8tuwstevenewland933]

The small piece that looked like a coin. There was a small wire loop that would slide through the head of a sewing needle to pull the string through the hole. Always good to see the young with the old. Cherish the memories.

[@nascarmommam5915]

How sweet to be taking grandpa. 👌🏻👍🏻 nice site to dig. Thanks for the video. ~ Texas

[@dianaparker2949]

I think, from reading the comments, that we all were delighted to see you with your Grandpa. He did everything for you when you were a kid. Now, it's your turn! Well done, Michael, well done!

[@deliveryman1970]

It's a cold one here in Chicago. Record breaking sub zero temperatures. -20° or colder in most areas around. Please send your prayers to those who may not be as fortunate to be inside during the winter months. Nice finds as always Nugget.

I loved seeing you out with your grandpa. Glad he had fun and you got some cool finds brother. Happy Hunting!

[@swampfizz]

I hunted with my Grandpa until he died..Never will forget those times..Spend more time with your family everyone..hey that tree had a NATURAL X also with the vine

[@fedupnow61859]

That kudzu is a real problem. I was so afraid that it would take over the woods by my house in Fla. Thank god that they started to eradicate it. I know it was really bad in Georgia. I love seeing you spend quality time with your grandpa. It means alot to him.

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

Kiddo you are so blessed to have a grandfather like him. I know I didn't have to tell you that. My grandfather was my world. He taught me everything I know about fishing which isn't much. But that was how much he knew. LOL. But he taught me how to be a handy man and make money at it. I taught me how to work hard and take pride in my work. The last real memory I have of him was when I received Ordination license to preach the gospel. He was so proud of me. I was following in his foot steps. Both of my grandfathers were preachers. But only one Grandfather ever took time to do things with me. My other grandfather was to busy being a preacher to spend any time with any of his grandkids. When and if he talked to us it was telling us how we must live if we wanted to get into heaven. But that's why God gave me two grandfathers... One grandfather to teach me how to read, love, and honor Gods word. The other grandfather to teach me how to live God's word... Now I said all that to say Grandfathers are great to have. BUT if you got a Grandpa then you have a friend for life to love you to hold you and to tell your secrets to.... I bet it was your Grandpa that took you metal detecting for the first time and taught you to love it. It shows in your early videos that you have a love for detecting. It sure has taken you a long ways in your life. God sure has blessed the fruits of your labors... Be blessed kiddo... BBE..

[@bethshadid2087]

Enjoy your pawpaw while you can. I'm sure my maternal pawpaw would've loved this. He was always at yard sales, swap meets, flea markets etc.....wish he were still here to do this with 😓

[@kevinpitre533]

That's beautiful that Nuggetnoggin treasure hunt with his grandpa ..some people don't want to do that with there mom & dad ..i wish my grandpa & grandma was still alive,,God bless you & love your videos ..

[@catmandoo8295]

HOW BLESSED YOU ARE, MAKING MEMORIES WITH YOUR GRANDPAP! Seems metal detecting not only can be fun and profitable, but it can bring family members together, and can be passed on from generation to generation! That's a valuable treasure in itself!🙂🙂🙂

Great that you can get out with your grandpa!

[@jeffmckenzie7282]

Great memories in the making, how precious time is and you, young man, spend it wisely, very proud and wish more ppl in this world could be like you!! 🙏

[@MichaelWDJ]

I went snorkeling and exploring today at the Salmon River in Colchester Connecticut with my nephew Landon. Partially inspired by my neighbor, who got me into bottle digging as a teenager. I went on several bottle digs because I saw his beautiful collection. I picked a few sites out after going to the local library and studying historical maps of my town. I dug up ink bottles, medicine bottles, milk bottles, cobalt blue beautiful potion bottles and all because of him. He passed away last year from complications due to having the Covid19 virus. He was in intensive care on a ventilator for 3 weeks before Christmas of 2021, and died on the 28th. People sometimes come into your life and teach you and inspire you. He was that guy. So are you. I've been periodically watching your videos for 6 years or more. About a year before my good friends' death I was asking him advice on metal detecting equipment and locations. Watching your explorations brings me such joy I cannot convey SIr. You are a wonderful human being and a good soul. I suffer from mental illness, depression, OCD and PTSD. It is so great to have you in my life and I mean that. You are the best. Happy Adventures. You are a spirit and a world all of your own. Don't change for one second brother.

[@nuggetnoggin]

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sorry to hear about your neighbor, and whatever you are going through right now, I believe you can overcome it. Take care and keep safe!

[@ThePennyPickerJerichoJoe]

I am so glad to see you hunt w8th your grandfather. You brought the best treasure ever with you. You know how special it was to spend time with him? As a grand and great grand myself, I can tell you that it was, at least, 10 times more special to him. As our children and grandchildren get older there is a whole lot less time to spend with family, especially with us old folks, and we really do miss those moments. God bless you and him. Learn everything you can from him while you can. Oh how I could feel if I could know more of the things my father and grandfathers eyes have seen. HH my friend.

[@OutdoorsygalO]

Your Grampa seems pretty nice. How fun for you to get to go hunting with him. 🥰 What a privilege to be able to go metal detecting with him. So many wish they could do that with their Grandfather. Cool ring you found! I hit the thumbs up, LIKE button! 👍🏻

[@jeansooter2420]

I love this that you went and got your grandpa and took him out because he obviously loved doing that and showed you how to do hunting for treasures and coins and it just very kind of you to take him in and help him even though he's getting older that's so sweet

Hello nuggetnoggin. I'm with you again! Up until 2001, I was living and hunting in Gulfport, MS, and then I moved to Knoxville, TN. I think you were rather young back then, and I think I remember your Dad going with you, maybe because you were too young to drive and you needed a ride to some places. I'm curious about how old you are now. I'm right up there with your Grandpa...coming up on 80 years.

[@wormyr9122]

Rex McDaniel Hi Mr. McDaniel, I’m thinking that Nugget is around 25 or 26 maybe. One things for sure, he sure conducts his age like a very well raised individual and I’m sure that great guy with him had some part with that! I’m sure you’ve probably blessed many a lives as well-May God continue to bless you Sir! Abby
