What Did We Stumble Across? - Strange Old Coins Found Metal Detecting a 300 Year Old Farm!

We find some of our oldest things metal detecting old colonial farm fields because the land has been pretty much undisturbed for centuries. Back then all farming was done by hand so people were working in these fields constantly, and will all that activity they can't help but dropping and loosing things. This year several farmers in our area didn't harvest until the week of Christmas so we've been patiently waiting and watching. Finally several open up and the first one we chose to go to is this field that surrounds a 1740's house and from what we hear the fields have never been detected before. The one caveat though, it was planted with corn which makes detecting pretty difficult. We made the best of it though and along the way pulled several really old coins from the ground, including 2 that were not only crazy old, but also really strange, with none of us ever even seeing either of them before! What a cool mysterious site trying to figure out that type of people must have passed through here all that time ago. An awesome way start the farm season in the new year!

Farmers are starting to learn that there are better options than leaving the corn stalks standing. There are a few combine attachments AKA Stalk Stompers that knock the stalks off at ground level. This helps with decomposition of the stalks and cuts down on tire damage. In the future I think you will see more farmers using them. Lets hope so!

[@marvinschabacker4207]

I prefer to leave the stalks standing, especially for no-till farming. Chopping the stalks creates a thick matt of stalk material that prevents the ground from warming in the spring.

Really enjoyed watching. I work a 3rd shift job. 7 pm 7am. I just binged watch 30 of your videos. Im now caught up. Keep up the great videos. You make me laugh. All the best Jon.

[@Vince1648]

Belgian Leopold cents and German Stubers are familiar finds where I live (The Netherlands, not far from German border). Would be interesting to know how they ended up across the pond. Maybe the farmhouse was inhabited by Belgian/German immigrants back in the days? I enjoyed this episode.👍

[@fordman138]

Lots of Germanic immigrants in the eastern US, my family being one of them. Hello from the US.

[@bryansavage9700]

Could have been the landowners at the time hired German and Belgian field laborers and they dropped the coins working the fields.

[@MrWaynedi]

Looks like I'm going to just be a spectator of your videos had house fire 2 days before Christmas lost everything so I'll be watching find some good Stuff Love your videos

[@annieg246]

Those foreign coins were awesome. That odd shaped buckle looks like it was for a horse halter.

[@michaelwusik8923]

I’ve had some of my best finds in corn fields and I agree that it is very difficult. What I like is when the farmers plow making a whole new field. I’ve hit the same fields year after year and some are still producing pretty good. Love your videos

[@TeamLynchBMD]

German and Belgian coins. Terrific finds guys👋👍

[@brunoboaz7656]

Jason, here in the South, people refer to Taco Bell as "Toxic Hell". Also, a quick question: How come nobody in the crew ever carries a magnifying glass? Great video!

Thats a so called 1/4 Stüber 1784 Juelich/Berg made in western Germany(Rhineland Region) in the later 18th Century. The Fact that its found in the USA makes it extremly extremly rare. Am german was bying and selling Coins for years and thats how i know

Nicely done guys I enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸

[@michaelolsen2348]

Those two coins were amazing! I thought I had every type foreign coin......but I never saw either of those. Can't wait to see what else turns up out there when those stalks are gone.

Hey its the video we get and I appreciate it. Corn or big weeds suck. Sometimes I feel if I had a sickle on the edge I can cut off the grass. Cool finds you got an immigrants coins from his country when he came to the states

Not a bad day wandering around in the corn. I love finding foreign coins.

[@normawinton6832]

Congrats on the foreign coins. I like that buckle Matt! I have seen people take and tie a few boards behind their truck and drive through the field and mow down the stalks. But getting permission too do that is another thing.

I feel the pain with that cornfield. I use the 6” coil on my Legend in cornfields. You have to go a little slower to cover everything but you can get closer and in between the stalks a lot easier

[@mikestanners23]

Very cool finds Jason! Two coins that I've never heard of. Maybe early German settlers, since Belgium and Germany so intertwined? Did you try going cross row on the swinging? Just a thought. Congrats and good luck on the next!

[@vikingvk3013]

Hi there. I have just discovered your channel and would love it if you could do a test of the British built Viking VK30 which costs about £200 or if that is too expensive the Viking Vk20. They are great budget detectors and would be interesting to see how they compare with the other budget detectors you have tested 🙂

[@rikspector]

Why don't you stand to the side and swing lengthwise, that might even work in the narrow rows. Awkward but a longer swing??? Great finds but frustrating. Cheers, Rik Spector

[@sourcreamking]

That first coin you found... Had you found that in Norway I would say it was a "1 Skilling" from 1820... For some reason they always come up with those weird lines through 'em...

[@bonniethibodeaux5843]

Happy New year guys

[@markvpinkham]

Happy new year! 🎆🎇

[@luisvillarreal5262]

Nice finds Jason. On those narrow corn rows, you could swing your coils the opposite direction as you shimmy your feet along the other row next to it. Kind of like detecting parallel, along side a concrete sidewalk. That’s where the 6 inch coil would have been ideal. I have the Legend pro pack and I’m happy with it. Happy Hunts. _/ 👍

I have sent you 3 emails on questions about metal detecting. Now I would like to know what kind of detector you use.

[@Jayzx53]

I recently found an abandoned church near our property. Waiting for the right day to take my detector out :D

[@jamesschultz5299]

Hey Jason and all the fellow detectors who watch his channel. I just bought my first home in the country on 5 acres in NY. The house itself was built in 1988 but almost two halves of it is bordered by very impressive stone walls that date back probably 200 years. Upon exploring today I found a circular stone well that also dates back probably 200 years. I took my dads $60 cheap detector around the property and found a square actually close to the house, semi raised up, with hundreds of signals just below the surface. Original 1800’s house or barn on the property filled in years ago??? Regardless this “toy” detector only reads small signals at the most 3 inches. I know 1800’s gems can be 5-8 inches or more. Any suggestions on an easy to use detector around the $500 range? I will eventually email Jason but I’d like to hear from his viewers too.

[@jasontheflyingfarrierhays]

A great first detector is the Garret AT Pro. It’s a rugged, super versatile detector that is waterproof up to 10 feet. Salt water detecting can be done but it’s definitely it’s weak spot. I have many detectors, that cost 2 to 3 times more than the AT Pro and I still use my AT Pro fairly regularly.

[@clamsoup]

I think you found the original Amish farm! Curious - rather than walking forward through the corn rows, couldn't you sidestep along sweeping the lanes? That would be a slick move for a quarterback. HUP, HUP, HUP!

[@aliasfred]

Swing parallel with the rows (in between them) I would. Or use a really small coil.

[@RealityCheck1956]

Great finds stalking through the field of corn! Wonder if those old foreign coins would have belonged to some Amish immigrants that may have owned that land at one time??

[@markbeatty17]

Looks like the same field at the start of the video ?

[@robertpeet3781]

Next time walk across the rows and swing between them long ways you can get a little longer swing......

[@rolandocastaneda4429]

NICE.

[@Vince1648]

Those coins might be from German settlers who went to America through the Belgian harbor of Antwerp. Antwerp was a popular gateway for German migrants to America becouse it had a direct railway connection with Cologne (German Rhineland area) since 1843.
