PMF#50 She Called the Cops!!! Metal Detecting Bad Guys..Awesome Silver

[@peterscheffer3578]

Thanks for being family friendly. I really appreciate that.

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thanks Peter...wanted people's children to be able to share in the adventures!!

[@themightychabunga2441]

Aw! I thought the banjo AND the dog barking were your ringtone.That would be awesome,lol.

[@PlugMasterFord]

The banjo is my ringtone!! It's my kids playing it...Jeff

[@cladqueen8054]

Enjoyed the hunts and had to chuckle over the cops being called. You just never know what kind of adventures you will be a part of because of this hobby. COngrats on the seated!

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thank you...something new every time!!

[@steverussell7606]

Love those buffalo's!! that smooth seated dime was really cool..

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thanks Steve...we need to get on something soon!!

[@steverussell7606]

Maybe next week over around Mt. Vernon, little south??

[@diggerodell7655]

Great hunts! I found a seated dime in almost identical condition last year. Only got the year off it after a cycle in the ultrasonic cleaner. Very odd! Those buffs are nice too, not often do you find them with dates. GL&HH!

[@PlugMasterFord]

Makes you wonder how long they carried those dimes!! Or, what they had in their pocket with it? Jeff

[@kenander45]

Digger O'Dell - my father in law carried a 1921 (his birth year) silver dollar his whole life. Talk about worn!

[@garycoinmaster9826]

I use a stainless steel 3 inch diameter tulip bulb planter hand held,works perfectly small plugs,no big holes in lawns,goes to 8inches deep ,good for golf courses or manicured lawns.

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thanks Gary...I wonder how it would hold up to our rocky soil? Jeff

[@garycoinmaster9826]

Hey there had my tulip bulb planter for 6 yers now,hard clay or gravelly loam still works great,small diameter makes smallplugs

[@nickhaas2407]

Cannot believe she granted permission, then called the police. I guess we need to go with written forms and a Notary Public.

[@PlugMasterFord]

Haha...hope it doesn't come to that!!

[@KandiKlover]

I heard this same story before on TreasureNet or /r/MetalDetecting before. Maybe it was the same guy who made the video lol

[@HistoryHoundDetecting]

That Tootsie toy Jaguar was the very first toy I ever dug. Pretty good day with the silvers too. Still waiting on my first seated. God bless! Happy Hunting!

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thank you very much...my first tootsietoy was a shuttle truck...been hooked ever since!! Jeff

[@ArtyNZTreasureSeaker]

Awesome! Good hunt and video! Some good coin finds there and the Chevy winter token is cool! Strange some people, how they give permissions only to change their mind with the blink of an eye! Better off just not being there. Thanks for sharing. GL&HH, Arty

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thanks Arty, at least we found some goodies before we had to leave :-)

[@KandiKlover]

Maybe had second thoughts and wanted all the finds to herself, only to be disappointed with the cheap Bounty Hunter she got later that's only finding clad lmao!

[@PlugMasterFord]

Haha...I think she was a little too old to be thinking about that...but ya never know!!

[@yancyodonnell745]

Great hunting. Stinks the police were called. Very cool Chevy token.

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thanks Yancy....would Love to hunt that yard!!

[@DigginwithSeven]

Good hunts guys. Love seeing the old silver come out of the ground. The run-offs were a bummer, but my brother-in-law has a saying that I believe applies in your case: "People are stranger than anybody!" Lol. Good luck guys.

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thanks Loy....would love to be able to revisit both of those yards!!

[@etppro9019]

here in the uk once you've been given permission thats it.unbelievable,good luck and happy hunting

[@SirBruceDetects]

Grats on all the finds and that barb dime very cool.. GL & HH my next video up soon..

[@anthonywagstaff]

Great job on the permissions! That seated is awesome!!!

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thanks...always love the seateds!!

[@RockyRoadJY]

Enjoyed your hunt. It is so nice to watch your videos, no swearing.

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thank you so much...an old man once told me "any uneducated fool can cuss, but it takes a wise person to control his tongue"... I'm pretty sure he paraphrased from a bible verse!! Jeff

[@CoilstotheSoil]

@@PlugMasterFord we don't cuss in our videos, but we have had complaints about our language... apperently the word "junk" is offensive?????

[@PlugMasterFord]

Haha...I learned a long time ago that someone is always going to complain about anything you do!! Such a messed up world!

[@Underwatermetaldetecting]

I was hunting a local park and a groundskeeper was about to ask me to leave, but he saw the way I replace the plug and said “oh, if you can do it like that every time you are good to go “. I explained to him that I always try to make it look like I was never there 👍 kept on hunting no problems

[@markparr7224]

here's a tip for you, I collect coins too and if you can't clearly see a date, if you hold the coin at an angle you can sometimes see the date better. the green one @8:04 looks like a 1916.

[@watermain48]

Great finds, thanks for sharing them.

[@AdventuresInDirt]

Nice finds! Keep up the good work!

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thank you very much!! Jeff

[@aliasfred]

Maybe after she gave you permission, she saw that you were using "shovels" and changed her mind.

[@PlugMasterFord]

That's probably what happened Larry.

[@jrg7951]

1964 and earlier, dimes, Quarters, Half dollars and silver dollars are solid silver. 1982 and earlier pennies are solid copper. After 1982 pennies are made of zinc.

[@ladyjhermit1330]

I didn't see the cop event....great finds.

[@HarryCHAMBZ]

way to persevere. you both dug some keeps. nice vid

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thanks...plenty of houses out there!!

[@banditshideout]

I always see people saying not to use the shovels. I use a short handle shovel from whites and I can tell you that i can cut just as nice a plug with it as I can with a hand trowel. I understand that the shovels can sometimes draw attention, but the way I see it is if you have permission or at a city park where it is legal, then you shouldn't have to walk on egg shells about your tools.

[@PlugMasterFord]

I agree...we have gone to using our Lesche diggers exclusively now...unless we are hunting farms or fields. My knees hate it, but we aren't losing as many permissions now. Jeff

[@sdesic]

Cool old coins. Too bad seated is so flat. Congrats on silvers 😄 Police ... unfortunately they were called to read your token text 😄 GL&HH!

[@PlugMasterFord]

They must know how bad my vision is!!

[@davidkelly8274]

I found one of the heart things also in arkansas. My also had a glass stone in it. It looked just like the one I found.

[@PlugMasterFord]

That's cool David..Mike found one identical a coupke weeks later as well!! Jeff

[@MDHDetecting83]

8:20 is a 1916 Wheat penny....Nice finds guys !!

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thanks Matthew!!

[@jthreeb]

nice Chevy token! and great hunt, too bad the cops were called on you lol

[@PlugMasterFord]

Guess it was easier than opening the door and telling us she changed her mind :-)

[@tennesseegem1063]

Man that seated was slick but still a good find.

[@PlugMasterFord]

I looked at the back through a jewelers loupe and couldn't make out anything! Thanks for watching!!

[@carolinacheapo9390]

Seen enough diggers have them owner problems. Exactly why I decided not to hunt occupied property. My second ever permission went that way. NOT worth the stress and effort. Not fun hunts. Glad for yall that last one went so well. Thanks for sharing that experience. And nice finds guys. Rick

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thanks Rick...I don't take any of it personally. Just shake it off and move on.

[@jrg7951]

I would use large screwdrivers vs shovels on yards, people don't run you off.

[@JD-yj5us]

8:16 It's a 1916 penny in case if u didn't see it Good find!

[@JD-yj5us]

Oh sorry other people said it already haha

[@reidmclain4702]

In the last 2 weeks I have had the cops called twice hunting on street medians!😂😂 people say it's on private property! Turns out I was right both times! Oh well back to digging around cranky people🤣🤣

[@PlugMasterFord]

Yep...people don't understand what the city actually owns in most places.

[@renesamways7035]

Please can you check the volume on your camera because it is very faint. I know this one is back on 13th Jan last year, but for future reference.

[@HOMER122767]

Great job. The only site eye problem is the huge plugs your digging. Thats way too big in my opinion. That would piss off any property owner. I always dig no bigger then a coffee can round. Never had a property owner issue. Just a suggestion....keep those vid roling

[@mauriliozamora6627]

Some people are just plain mean, that woman did not have to call the police on you and the other clown that told you guys that you had to leave after you got permission should be ashamed of himself ! Thats why I only hunt county and city parks or friends and family properties. Nice hunt guys and happy hunting !

[@PlugMasterFord]

The first guy I would say was just mean, the little old lady just got scared I guess.

[@jeffsdetectingchannel7230]

Awesome finds

[@jrg7951]

Some World war 2 nickels were silver, something to look for.

[@RedmanOutdoors366]

Cool video bud

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thank you sir!

[@crunchchee6790]

Curious what machine are you using? Congrats on the silver dime from 1900.

[@PlugMasterFord]

I was using my CTX 3030 and I think Mike was using his Deus on this hunt, but could've been his E-trac. Thanks for watching.

[@Midgardrelics]

ppl are weird as f... great finds though. gl & hh.

[@texasclodcruncher9580]

As for city parks in Texas they do not allow you to MD even if there is not an ordinance. I've asked for permissions and have been told at several cities that it isn't allowed as it is city property and anything found there is city property. Just the luck I've had trying to do things the right way. I think its just a matter of educating those who don't understand we aren't out to leave big holes everywhere.

[@rshotrod1965]

So is that Missouri Mike from Springfield MO?

[@PlugMasterFord]

The one and only!!

[@danf7410]

I had a similar situation happen to me this summer. I stopped by an old Victorian era house and received permission from the lady of the house, who was very excited. I was just getting started when a car pulls up. Turned out to be her husband, who asked me what I was doing. I explained that his wife had given me permission. His response? "No she didn't!" He then went inside and I'm sure some yelling probably started, but by that time I was already packed up and driving off. Rats! Sure looked like a promising spot!

[@PlugMasterFord]

Always hate when the husband comes home for lunch...has ruined many a good hunts!!

[@danf7410]

And worse! Hahaha!

[@1Epicdoom]

crazy I just dug a 37 wheat today

[@Gopheller1]

90% silver - no USA coins have ever been 100% (other than the new Eagles but they arent for circulation) - great hunt there!!

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thanks Terry...I am aware of that. I always use "100%" when I'm sure of something, but it did sound like I was calling it 100% silver although I was meaning 100% it's a silver coin!! Thanks for watching...Jeff

[@Preppygirl795]

It was 1916 wheat penny i seen it in the glare!

[@MetalDetectingSweden]

So you got permission and then they had a change of heart and called the cops? Thats not ok... Wasting the officers time.

[@PlugMasterFord]

It's a smaller town...she probably just called city hall and they sent the officer.

[@CoilstotheSoil]

Sorry about you getting booted off...repeatedly.... but those are some great finds that you managed to get

[@jimnorthland2903]

Gave permission and then called the cops? Was it my ex?

[@PlugMasterFord]

Haha Jim...Only if she was quite a bit older than you!!

[@jimnorthland2903]

Oh Yeah, that would be her mother.

[@googleuser1456]

Please show detector vdi #s and the digging experience. That's the fun of metal detecting. We don't just want to see old coins the flea markets are full of them. It's like watching a fishing channel and all you get to see is the fish in a bucket. Just my suggestion obviously you do whatever you want it's your Channel and just filming that is a lot easier.

[@PlugMasterFord]

I agree 100% with you...I enjoy the live digs as well. Since we have gone to just the hand diggers, it makes it a lot harder, but I will make an attempt to do more. I do share the vdi's on most of my finds, but just don't show them...Jeff

[@waynejackson9374]

i could see the seated outline

[@PlugMasterFord]

I finally could after I took the picture...glad it still had the best part of the date! Thanks for watching!!

[@DetectorLuke]

hey man new subscriber nice video

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thanks Luke...glad you liked it...Jeff

[@coinhound8482]

Nice old finds, I like the Chevrolet token. The lady should of just said she changed her mind, why call the police? The cops in my area of S. California seem to be pretty good about metal detectorist so far.

[@PlugMasterFord]

Guess she just had permission remorse..maybe too embarrassed to come out...who knows. Sure would love to go back to that yard though!!

[@classic.rock.fanpage4770]

Did you find the year of the wheat penny if you didn't its 1916

[@dhcraft9472]

The lady was probably scared mongered by someone she had spoken too after giving permission. The only way you can improve the reputation of the hobby is by being polite and if the cops are called see if they would take a look at some of your after digging hole so they can tell the homeowner how respectful you had been to the property.

[@scottfirman]

As long as the soil is put back in the proper place it will be fine,it doesnt matter how big the plug is. That was rude of someone to give you permission to hunt,then call the cops on you? I only hunt parks, campgrounds with pwrmission,hunting areas and fishing areas. It can be hard to hunt because of all the trash but I have found some awesome stuff and no cops. I was close to getting busyed for tresspassing but calmed the guy down. After wich he let us hunt anyways. We didnt find much because the owner kept following us around. Great find guys!

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thanks Scott...I agree on the plugs...if a person takes a small, shallow plug, they are exposing all of the roots...which will cause them to die and turn brown. I've hunted behind others who have left small brown plugs in peoples yards...hard to get permission after that...thanks for watching...Jeff

[@damok9999]

Just like Rambo...

[@alanfreeman7374]

Are those old coins worth anything?

[@PlugMasterFord]

Just melt value with the shape that they are in so no not really

[@carlosnajera9953]

have yet to find any cool old coins but did find a cool dodge token think its aluminum

[@PlugMasterFord]

I still love to find the old tokens..they are unique. Thanks for watching...Jeff

[@malcolmwasher2308]

wow bad cops being called never had that in australia

[@judegabriel]

5:54 outline of a face

[@PlugMasterFord]

I saw that too!! Wound up just being dirt.

[@miketurany2082]

ya gots some real dinks in these small Podunk towns

[@florawoundedrock]

so cool

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thanks Patricia!!

[@anthonymoreno1578]

may the Lord Bless you with abundance

[@encryptlakegames5328]

That looks like a seated half dime.

[@encryptlakegames5328]

Lmao im not going to edit it but he said it right after i wrote it.

[@michaelolsen2348]

I never understood why some people are so protective of their lawns. I mean, its just grass. Lol. And some people have nothing better to do than to complain about something. Thats probly why they gave you permission to dig........so they can complain and call the cops. Lol.

[@davidpringle8089]

Your penny at 8:14 is a 1916.

[@aliasfred]

You need to do something about your audio. My speakers are all the way up, and still finding it very difficult to hear you.

[@gregandcindylaporte4479]

U found a 1916 wheat Penny

[@charlesclary3246]

You have a camera, record the landowner giving you permission.

[@PlugMasterFord]

I'm afraid if we broke out the camera door knocking that it might cause us to not get the permission.

[@peterscheffer3578]

👍

[@mchlrwn]

That woman probably didn't like shovels being used. No doubt felt intimidated by them and had second thoughts. Leave the shovels in the vehicle and use them in fields. I hate to say it,but that is no doubt what was going on in her mind. I did not give you a 'thumbs down',but I suggest using hand trowels or coin poppers in the future if you don't want to be ran off.

[@PlugMasterFord]

Probably so.

[@damok9999]

That's a good point, but doesn't disregard the fact your friendly land owner prefers aggression over communication. And thinks physical coercion is preferable to aesthetic tolerance.

[@nancyhillyer8359]

Did you ask why? Maybe she was not happy with your cleanup. I would not like large shovel either if you didn’t clean up well.

[@ajwasp3642]

Bummer on the dune buggy, and the Jaguar D-type. Yes, it was a D-type. It was very hard to hear the dialog. Better finds, than that JD guy.

[@PlugMasterFord]

Thanks for watching...working on getting the audio louder...Jeff

[@randyrichardson5325]

Its a seated

[@greg8089]

Sucks when you can't pin point you target and you hit the target don't it.

[@PlugMasterFord]

For sure...when you dig thousands of holes a year, you're gonna miss a few!!

[@Beobout6]

If you guys dug holes like that in my yard I’d call the cops too. You can do this in a pasture or field but not in a yard. I never dig holes like this. You can’t tell where I’ve been when I finish. Sorry but very amateur.

[@PlugMasterFord]

Appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Even though you can't tell where we've been either, the larger shovels were probably a mistake. Jeff

[@billrhine3406]

I could see your plug cuts on the previous holes in the camera after they were filled. You need to do a better job packing it back in. Yes larger shovels are gonna cause problems, before you even begin most of the time. And i wouldn't stay more than an hour on any permission in a small yard like that. If i'm in someones yard i don't cut a plug more than 5 inches across.

[@johnlayman2151]

Why are you digging up a shovel size plug ? You should be using your pinpointer first, then only make a 3 to 4 inch diameter plug. That way you are not destroying those big areas. People do not like that. That's why you are getting run off and the cops called on you. I have been detecting for a year now with a 77 Y/O buddy that has been doing it all his life. We have never had that happen.I only cut a small plug with a knife while in yards,get the item than carefully put the plug back in the hole and press it back in place with my foot. I always get invited to other places.

[@pleopold4010]

some people!

[@charles1066ify]

Sound level is weak.

[@ernestkeith1078]

Your audio is tow low can't hear a word .

[@nancydubin9328]

I was enjoying this up until he just yank that necklace and broke the chain. Not a way to be lookin for relics

[@rarehuntingwithkenneth3163]

Rubbing your coins are not good
