Perseverance is Rewarded While Metal Detecting Where 120 Year Old Mill Houses Sat Along the River!

The ground was full of finds at the old mill worker's homes! The trick was getting the coins, relics and toys out of the rock hard ground! Patience and perseverance paid off with a great hunt! It was an absolute blast metal detecting and Finding America using my new Minelab Equinox 900 and the Coiltek 10X5 coil.

Hey Greg, to me,you make our American history come alive.Every time I watch I get wave after wave of extreme nostalgia.Your videos with pictures make me long for the wholesomeness of our country 's past!

[@gaiterbugg]

I know that was a tough and successful hunt, Greg, but after finding that first Tootsie Toy dragster you showed a picture of a picture of "Big Daddy" Don Garlits and his Swamp Rat dragster after he had won the Top Fuel category at the National Drag Championships at Indianapolis in 1964, the first of 4 my Dad took me to in the 60s. We were in the crowd when that picture was taken, and had been able to watch him working on his dragster in the pit area before the finals. It certainly took me back to a happy time and fond memories. Thank you, my friend. Stay safe and keep on digging!

[@FindingAmerica]

So glad you enjoyed those pics of Big Daddy! I got to meet him as well and we had lots of car shows at his museulm when I lived in Tampa. He's always the first one I think of when it comes to dragsters along with John Force and Don The Snake Prudhomme. Glad this episode brought back good memories for you Mike. ATB Greg

[@user-lo2ii8to3u]

The Hoover boys and a few others are pretty cool to see what is out there but, you are, without a doubt, the best in my book! I'm a 58 year old,59 come the 24th, retired machinist and you have taught me several things with the research you do. As long as you keep swingin', I'll keep watchin'.

[@alanatolstad4824]

Back in the 50s, our dentist kept a small box of cheap plastic rings to let us kids choose from after our appointment!---It's always a mystery to me how you find all those great old photos...I love 'em!

[@bartleylitts3112]

Well Greg it's great to see you're back! I know that it was very difficult to get this video together! You did an excellent job and had wonderful finds too!

[@riddlesrelics1278]

It's Thursday video time. Best part of the week. Awesome time

[@FindingAmerica]

Glad you enjoy it Randy and I really appreciate you all watching. Take care and ATB Greg

It was worth the work Greg. Awesome finds, thank you. 👍👌. Ward & Kim K.

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks 👍 Ward and Kim! Really appreciate you watching this one and glad you guys enjoyed it! Take care and ATB Greg

[@Treasure-Charger]

The 900 will sniff-out the silver when it's close to iron. Nice sore! I know you worked hard digging for this one. Still praying for rain for the both of us! That rabies tag is from my graduation year. Makes me feel old 😳 Two Tootsie dragsters are pretty cool. I got to meet Don Garlits at Indy once. It was a thrill. Great video as always, buddy 👍

[@joyceclark8476]

Hi Greg, welcome back. You definitely get an “A” for effort. See you next time. Thank you, Joyce❤️🙏🇺🇸

[@jonfranklin9361]

Great finds Greg. That kids coal shovel is cool. Those photos of coal furnaces look like one at my grandmas house. Tootsie drag cars are awesome! Take care Jon

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks Jon and those old coal furnaces always looked like an octopus to me. lol I really liked that toy shovel too. Really appreciate you watching this one and glad you enjoyed it! Take care and ATB Greg

[@thegallowsdetectors666]

Hi Greg & Chris , i have to say how lovely the location was down by the water just a shame it did not give up some more of it's secrets , but fortunately more success on dry land and without a dought the best find for me was the sword hanger a lovely little piece , and another good watch with good info to well done , best wishes and ATB Rob & Al .

Love the show Greg, and would love to see you do an episode that would let us see your collection of great finds! Not very many detectorist do that, and I think everyone would love it.

[@howardoller443]

I love the picture of the Forest Service fire patrol. Having been a forest fire fighter in my youth.

[@aaronhancock5684]

Awesome video. The river was absolutely beautiful.

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks and glad you enjoyed seeing that beautiful river! I appreciate you watching this one Aaron! ATB Greg

[@zenithcoinsandhobbies]

Condiment jar at 18:06 was made by Hazel-Atlas, not Anchor-Hocking. Anchor-Hocking glass has their anchor logo on the bottom.

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks. I realized that too late after I had put the episode together. Appreciate the correction. Take care and ATB Greg

[@OhHel65]

Especially enjoy the photos. Thank you.

[@FindingAmerica]

Glad you like them! Really appreciate you watching this one and glad you enjoyed it! Take care and ATB Greg

[@teresatuck6350]

Glad to see you again!😊

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks so much Teresa!

[@joebrown1382]

That belt hook my guess is WW1 because of the 2 nibs attached. 2 same dragsters in the same day, crazy. Many nice period finds as well. Man that was rock hard digging. Really nice ending photo Greg.

[@MerleLangley-bf5zf]

So very good to hear you again.

[@generaldisarray4146]

Greg is back! I missed having my coffee and Thursday video, buddy. Good to see you back out there from the Great Lake state. Don't bend yer shovel.

[@EZDiggin]

I've only found one Tootsie car but I have been lucky enough to find two Tootsie brass road signs. What a great bit of Diggin in the hard dirt. Plus it was good to see Chris

[@timb.162]

Great old finds thanks for the video keep digging

[@robinunderwood7695]

Awesome finds today CONGRATULATIONS 😊

[@grandmakellymcdonald]

Let’s go, let’s go treasure and adventure💕🌺👵✌️

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks so much for watching this one Kelly! ATB Greg

[@theroller5673]

Maybe a miner's or gardeners pick axe to loosen the soil prior to digging might help? Same problem ALL year here in SE Iowa. Worse drought since 1988. Very hard, dry, dusty soil. Tough to enjoy the hobby when you're fighting heat and hard ground all day. Thank you for a great video!

[@FindingAmerica]

It's been tough all over it seems. Really glad you enjoyed this one Tony and it's great to hear from you. ATB Greg

[@williamstewart1378]

its Great to have you back . yeah this year for me was the bugs im waiting for cooler weather so No Bugs..

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks so much William and I am definitely looking forward to some cooler weather! Really appreciate you watching this one and glad you enjoyed it! Take care and ATB Greg

[@MadelineRose-ep7fj]

Haven't watched in a while. Be safe out there! Should be having wetter weather.😊

[@Brando_Magnifico]

Thanks Greg. I found my first tootsie (Jeep) not long ago. It is complete as well. Love the twin dragsters! Awesome

[@mikedestadio9895]

Great finds Greg

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks Mike! Really appreciate you watching this one and glad you enjoyed it! Take care and ATB Greg

[@robertpeters41]

You might be able to find the history of that pocket watch as it was assembled through the factory.

[@dananderson128]

Thanks for all the hard work. Nice video.

[@FindingAmerica]

My pleasure Dan! Really appreciate you watching this one and glad you enjoyed it! Take care and ATB Greg

[@stevenstrempke8883]

[@granvillewooster7673]

Awesome finds thank you for sharing 👍👍❤️

[@tomj4506]

Rear view mirror holder ? Probably out side, reminds me of my 61 Olds Fiesta wagon ! LFOD !

[@FindingAmerica]

Yes, I mentioned it could be a mirror base in the video. Thanks for the help with it Tom and appreciate you watching! ATB Greg

[@baystateplugflipper7061]

Nice work Greg! My wrists hurt just looking at that ground 😒

[@lisatroxell7916]

Really like the shovel...lots of credit for digging in that soil...and where did you get the tube you were putting your water finds on?

[@FindingAmerica]

I got it from Kellyco. They carry them and you can use my FAUSA code on them as well. They are a bit pricey but they are really awesome and you'll never have to buy another one. I absolutely love using mine. ATB Greg

[@rickmessina5396]

Always enjoy your vids. You haven’t seen tough soil here in the desert of Arizona. Caliche is a killer… thanks…..

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks Rick and I know all about the ground in Arizona. That's where I detected my first year back in 1980 when I was 13 years old! ATB Greg

[@charlieschemmel122]

Nice hunt thanks for sharing!!!!!

[@toddfroelich1190]

I've dug a Hinds, Honey and Almond Cream bottle, but no lids 😂 Good hunting and Godspeed

Great video Greg. It has been dry here in West Tn also. Hopefully we'll get some showers soon.

[@FindingAmerica]

I hope so too!

[@AmericasFavoriteLawnBoy]

Nice love id bottle caps good job viewer❤

[@FindingAmerica]

I agree Timothy. So glad Lorna was able to finally ID that one for me. I appreciate you watching this one! ATB Greg

[@vernowen2083]

Digging in the summer cement is not one of my favorite things to do. I did, like you, manage to get out. Will be heading for the gulf coast on Sunday. Leaving the morning before the first predicted frost.

[@AmericasFavoriteLawnBoy]

Was that the area the shrubs got pulled out that you found the shovel

[@FindingAmerica]

Yes, that was the exact spot. ATB Greg

[@AmericasFavoriteLawnBoy]

Good morning from nj

[@FindingAmerica]

Good morning Timothy! Really appreciate you watching this one and hope you enjoyed it! Take care and ATB Greg

[@jamesblair4454]

I wonder why it is that whenever somebody finds a pocket watch it’s always the back and not the whole thing. I think of all the metal detecting shows I watch on KZbin maybe two or three whole pocket watches I have seen dug out of the ground in the last couple years.

[@brian56]

The little shovel looks like an old Marx brand toy.

[@FindingAmerica]

That definitely could be. ATB Greg

[@garygraham6020]

That is an old auto mirror bracket, door mount.

[@FindingAmerica]

Yes, I mentioned it could be a mirror base in the video. Thanks for the help with it Gary. ATB Greg

[@garygraham6020]

@@FindingAmerica sorry about that. I missed that somehow!

@@garygraham6020 it was in the text with the provided picture of the cleaned up find. No problem
