I see a new show in the making.... Relic Commander!

[@JohnnyButtons]

Bud, that's actually brilliant lmao!!!

[@gwenroney3972]

I'd definitely watch it!!

[@Listen2truth11]

Yeah Jase you could give away like 1 item a month or for so many subscribers have a giveaway. You would blow up. And like sign a COA that you found it and where. Bro this is a show for at least youtube

[@michaelbarnett2527]

I’d watch!

[@hank6887]

Sounds like a good idea!

[@alicechin2705]

Always love to watch Jase. Would love if this could become a show. So interesting

[@adventurearchaeology]

Welcome to the team Jase!

[@mikemcguire1371]

My two favorite hobbies duck hunting and metal detecting in one video. AWESOME!!! thank you Jase and Garrett.

[@ZeroDiscrimination]

Enjoyed the video...I had a great time digging with Jase and friends! ~ Gypsy

[@spencerblankenship1732]

Yeah, something and everything about the Robertson’s always makes me watch.

[@bradleyswasey6778]

Tell Jase if you would to get himself a loupe to make sure it's not a doubled die etc before he puts them back into circulation. Some doubled dies, etc can be quite rare and valuable.

[@deergreg]

Jase is a natural! With his Duck Dynasty fan base, he'll bring many newbies to our hobby!

[@rockymountainlifeprospecti4423]

Hopefully the right ones, there are quite a few who give it a bad name. But surely we are good with Jase!

[@MrBottlecapBill]

Nobody wants this!

[@Justthemow]

The more people looking the less there is to find

[@rockymountainlifeprospecti4423]

@@Justthemow absolutely and once its gone it's gone, dug for 25+ years in Virginia, but home in Colorado I have extreme wilderness and pioneer cabins,mines ect. from the 1800s to explore, but here you need a claim to prospect, so its more than getting permission if they don't actually own the mineral rights.

[@potent1895]

Definitely do more with Jase .... he is great...

[@Paleoman52]

So good to see Jase enjoying the hobby, I have always liked him from the show and his personal life. He wrote a really good book too. I have to agree with him about his best find (Silver Trime) because I found one a couple of years ago also. Thanks Garrett for the great detectors and for sharing Jase's story with us!

[@robertrichard2739]

11 years in the hobby up here in Canada . my first day out I found 6 cents, every day since I Praise God if I find more than 6 cents, and sometimes He blesses me with a real treasure .

[@dr.brinebasterd8982]

I remember walking with my father across freshly plowed fields in PA, 50 years ago, looking for arrowheads.

[@1dogpobo]

I have an old stone chimney still standing on my little 5 acres. Was detecting around it one day, found a very nice arrow head, it just happened. to be next to a silver 1942 dime. Very exciting double find.Figured the arrow head was found years ago an it was kept on the mantel of the old fireplace

[@WEARECHANGEBEDS]

As much as I love America, I am very grateful to live in the United Kingdom when it comes to metal detecting. Finding 200 year old stuff in the states cannot compare to finding 3000 year old gold coins.

[@danielsmith8527]

How many 3000 year old gold coins have you found? And with what machine?

[@mistereearly1141]

@Gerrit St. John And viking relics too in North America (super rare of course). But whats not rare? Roman coins.

[@jayseven9966]

UK definitely has more history in the metal coin game. Too bad they dont make arrow head detectors.

[@thenewkidontheblok]

Proof or it doesn't exist

[@beverlyhayshouston2770]

The thrill is still the same. I found a minie ball in my yard. I was thrilled.

[@davidfrazier1186]

Glad You have discovered the Best hobby in the World !👍👊

[@ronalddelong2190]

Been waiting for Jase to make a detecting video. And teaming up with Garrett makes it even better. Would absolutely love to see him collaborate with Nugget noggin and the Chigg someday! That would be perfect. Thanks for sharing. And those of you that may be interested please check out The Podcast with Phil Robertson, Jase Al and the crew. It's the Best Podcast ever!

[@markc4921]

So has he made another video yet?

[@gwenroney3972]

Would love to see him out with KG & Ringy!

[@joedearinger9239]

Jase I love you guys. You dad is a national treasure! Thank you all for letting us in to your family and lives. Keep sharing Jesus and your morals with the world. I would love to come and visit your church sometime and worship our Lord and Savior with you guys. God bless you all. I pray for your family often. The devil is always working so we must stay on our toes. Love y'all in the Lord! I will continue to bring you and yours to Jesus and pray that he builds a hedge of protection around you. God bless and keep you!

[@craziedigging4590]

Great finds love the marbles extra bonus while looking for history.

[@louisaziz1235]

Hey, Jase... Great video. Great advice. You found part of a porcelain doll and marbles at the same location. That is very strong evidence that there was a home site there and the remains were plowed over. Amazing luck on your part. And that piece of melted lead could be a sign of a military camp in the area. Looking forward to seeing much more of you on You Tube. Maybe if you invited the Aqua Chigger for a visit you could rub elbows with an internationally known detector and share some good stories. That would be awesome. Everyone who watches his videos would see you and start watching Jase Robertson dig up history. One more thing... You are looking and sounding more and more like your dad. And that is a definite compliment. Regards to your family.

[@mikesanders4012]

Jes, you're the man. We have a very old plantation in north central Florida. Along the Suwannee river, complete with a mile of abandoned railroad. We even have a 100+ yo general store still standing. That's were my dad and I are going first. Bless you all

[@HokieJuju]

OMG, u r too funny!!! “What we have here is a decapitated porcelain doll!!”🤣🤣🤣

[@iceviking3]

Mr Robertson. First off miss the show. But awesome to see you here. Sir I've been into the hobby for 34 yrs.+ in northern nys. No duck hunting here. But plenty of relics French and Indian war rev war. Civil war and just plain 250yr plus old trash. Sir I bid you Happy Hunting. Old George in nys

[@rivers613]

[@richardb8063]

You're a born natural at detecting! You're also alot of fun and very entertaining to watch. Keep 'em coming!

[@stevencochran2845]

I haven't bought anything for myself except groceries in a Long time and Now I know what I am going to buy as soon as im done with the education of these machines.

[@donaldwalls3737]

I found an 1851 three cent piece, when I was younger, I'm definitely gonna look for the O mint mark!!

[@losttreasurehunt]

Thanks for doing a treasure video for all to view great hobby out standing video

[@libbyjones552]

Happy I found your videos..You sound just like your father..Good digging today!😊

[@ricknheidipoteat4901]

My wife doesn't get it.. I've been detecting about 30 years and recently found about 80 coins on one property with my AT pro 15 silvers, 1 large cent 2 indian head pennies 12 wheaties, bunch of modern coins a rind and a lot of other things.. garrett at pro has been my favorite of all my detectors..

[@cg0401]

It’s addicting as heck isn’t it?!! I enjoy finding Marbles and Primitive Shiny Rocks.

[@johnvest2710]

Jade, my wife and I made our first metal detector in 1971 from a heath kit . It still works and we have had and still have others . Great hobby and we are still at it !

[@mr.miller3432]

What's the coolest thing y'all have found if I may ask?

[@farmerd7174]

If you find a Crescent or a 9/16" wrench in that cotton field it mine.. lol

[@adventuresinmichiganwlisa9852]

Great job jase, a big howdy to gypsy that poped in for a bit🤠. Much love to the both of ya from here in michigan

[@justinpettiecord5483]

Just bought me a garrett ace 300 this year and my first year of detecting i have found so many treasures . Garrett machines are so user friendly greatly appreciated. My best find was a 1871 seated liberty half dollar so far oldest coin was 1864 2cent piece

[@ranpederson5482]

Me and my friends call it DIRT FISHING

[@dmcalister4505]

Jase could have his own show , he's the most entertaining on the show

[@joeyjohnson4826]

Lol yeah ok, SI was duck dynasty 🤣

[@jeanniehaftar9249]

The whole family really are jokes in their own lil' way.

[@Dr.Pepperdave]

They all are interesting in their own way, and seem like really nice folks.

[@brianhall8828]

There must have been a home site in that field that just got spread through the years by cultivation. Keep digging! It will be worth it! I promise

[@bigbensarrowheadchannel2739]

Good luck and happy hunting!

[@kenburke9272]

guess I am a Geezer. Been detecting 41 years this year in New England

[@KMark-pm5je]

To have Jase on this channel speaks volumes to me about Garrett, I'm all in with Garrett and hope y'all will be too! Well done Jase. And thank you Garrett

[@dannyl2598]

I think it would be cool if Jase got to go detecting with Nugget Noggin.

[@Micah-kbluezr]

That would be awesome!

[@isaacwarden-vq4zj]

I love nuggetnoggin@@dannyl2598

[@jxk7712]

Everything this guy does is good. God bless, you’re a good man and have a beautiful family. We need more people like you. Project your mindset sir, and help save America.

[@cherylhee9762]

Amen!

[@Wings_of_foam]

Stupid comment. Relax

[@jimsalerno2650]

Looking forward to watching more of your shows

[@jeaningram292]

Miss y'all. Loved every episode. Keep searching

[@Suasponte-rm8mz]

Where did you get your display cases. I have been looking for something for my boys finds. Got stuff everywhere. Check out our site "Nathan Filby". Happy Hunting

[@kellymountsr2358]

Great to see duck man is also coin man😎

[@juanwhite9729]

Dang Jase, a man of many talents! I love me some relics. Thanks for the vid.

[@worldaccordingtomatt3525]

I think I saw Si's black panther run across the screen at the 56 second mark. Great video!

[@garysawyer9862]

With the type and variety of finds, I'll venture to say there was once a house on that land. Go way back in the county Map & Plat records to find out for certain. Find the more senior woman in the office and ask her to help you.

[@NFHRR]

So great to see you in the hobby!!! Come on down to Florida Hunt 7

[@chrisquinn394]

We come across old farmsteads while mushroom hunting many times in the middle of the woods and usually the only thing left is a pile if limestone rocks where the chimney was. We go back with metal detectors and poke around.. Mostly a lot of junk but sometimes find something cool.

[@bobtbtownsend]

This is one naturally entertaining guy! He makes finding square nails worthwhile- pure Zen! Thank you Jase 👍🏻

[@tnrelichunter7848]

If Jase keeps making detecting videos you will see the hobby boom...

[@barrywainwright3391]

The hobby has been booming for years because of all the advertising about it. More are detecting now than ever.

[@hyacinth4368]

Loved this! Keep em coming, Jase. I liked your tips and instructions.

[@Mamaof3boysok]

My husband just bought me the AT Max, Jase Edition with all the Thanksgiving trimmings! I can’t wait to get out there. Childhood dream to have a good one of these.

[@markbiggerstaff9783]

I bought a Garrett AT Pro. A week ago and I’m enjoying it big time haven’t found much but boy it’s addicting. Good luck Brother.

[@Clake52]

My favorite hobby. I have a couple Garretts too.

[@wakeup6910]

Now I know what I'm gonna do when I retire early in a few years,, thanks Jase

[@americanpatriotbill]

Love it brother! Keep doing it!!

[@tedcorey3054]

I live in NJ ,we're still looking for Hoffa.

[@G5ranch]

Awesome to see a novice treasure hunting. I’m about to get into it myself. Bought some land that from original family that settled on it in 1905 and remnants of the old home are still noticeable gonna search that area. Looking forward to your next video

[@cindyyaw8714]

great video. hope there are more

[@gerardramirez6320]

Definitely gonna be watching you new friend!

[@larrygriffith2051]

Great hunt Jase😁

[@MrRoach-yo3mz]

Jase needs to come to Maryland to find the good stuff!

[@deloresanderson2102]

Keep them coming Jess !

[@DrewVerdin]

@7:15 that looks like one of those deals you use to help you put on your shoes

[@SkiSearcher]

awesome Jase 💥👍🤠🏴‍☠️🗺

[@jhall1032]

Post more of these man! Enjoyed it. Love louisiana relics

[@PaintWithWheat]

Love it! We want a whole series with Jase!! Keep em coming!

[@frankkoller2622]

Thanks for the tips. I just subscribed! Happy hunting!

[@TitleTownStacker]

I'm planning on picking up a detector for spring we have a small 40 acre old farm up north we hunt at. One of the local farmers lease the land to plant corn. I figure it's as good of place as any to learn and not have people laughing at me or busting my balls for digging holes. I guess it's just what detector to pull the trigger on. I think the AT PRO are great but the Equinox 800 seems to be pretty dang good also but maybe a little more expensive.. either way I go this spring I'm hunting where I hunt and sure to find all the crossbow bolts I lost last season haaaa... Cheers

[@shonsmith839]

Jase buddy you just made my day man you need to make a show of metal detecting I'm just now in my second week of hunting with my garrett 400 and even tho I haven't found much but newer coins I'm having a good time with it think I found my new favorite hobby. It's nothing like being on your own journey to treasure.

[@maggiedoor6093]

He said on the Unashamed show ( with Phil and Al), that he was involved in creating a metal detecting show.

[@paulfasse8032]

Love your calm demeanor and easy going approach. Helpful tips on detecting are appreciated. 👍🏻

[@minermikesouthernusa4017]

Love finding history and Gold of course. Good information 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@edsmetaldetecting31]

You need to have Jase Robertson on your channel more!! A lot more!! I believe he has the potential to sweep the rug out from Ringy!!

[@centralmassanglers]

Never even thought of doing this and I love the outdoors well after watching this video I just ordered myself one thank you Jase

[@davidwallin2127]

God Bless! Making every day an adventure. Treasure hunt!

[@stanhutchins6592]

I would definitely watch Jas new metal detecting show everyone knows that’s what’s coming and I can’t wait. Duck on Jas

[@daviderickson5041]

fun video. i have been into it for about 6 years but it is getting tougher to find places to go in Ct. Like you Jase, it isn't bout the money but the history.

[@chadcarter9368]

Besides huntin this is the best hobby I've ever picked up on, one day I hope to have a Garrett machine in hopes of finding more, I'm sure I miss alot of target's with my antique detector lol but me and my boys still have fun

[@maddogrob7744]

Stay warm! Going to get much colder into next week! $400 3 cent penny is niiiice!

[@chriskolb3105]

Don’t sleep on the marbles, Jase. Some of them can be worth a lot of money. A lot of people collect them.

[@Theolesouth]

There is more history under the soil than in books . Not only history but truth .

[@caterinesimon4538]

Hi

[@brittinghammerforge9441]

I’m with you on detecting. I also like to look for arrowheads at the same time.

[@jeffadams7]

Been a big fan of yours Jace since the DD days. Now I follow you and Phil on the Unashamed podcast. I’ve been detecting for five years now, and absolutely love it. I’m in Michigan so I’m living vicariously thru my KZbin friends til I can get back out . Love the video. More please. God bless you and your entire family. Jeff Adams

[@tbwkn]

Jase is my favorite Robertson

[@deadtrouthunter]

Enjoyed watching this!!

[@RunwithBrad]

This hobby appeals to me!! it's like thrift shopping in nature!

[@shaunwebb6406]

Enjoyed the video and Jase! Their property should have a lot of history to find. Thanks

[@michaelbariso3192]

Both my wife and I remember our parents bringing us to Cowboy City in Farmingdale, New Jersey in the mid 50's. Years ago we went back to the grounds with our metal detectors before the lot was sold to a housing development, imagine our surprise finding a Cowboy City Token uncovered for the first time since it was lost in the 50's. The Garrett detectors have a very noticeable delay in processing making it very difficult to pinpoint targets. 007 Roger Moore said it perfectly "all those feathers and he still can't fly". In the 70s through 80s we used old-school analog Whites machines that clearly pinpointed targets, all without the erratic irritating sounds and noticeable delay in processing speeds finding coins dating back to the late 1700s.The Garrett models are still fooled by pulltabs, tinfoil and bottle caps, I'll stick with the Simplex for only $254.

[@brianrudolph3594]

Dude, what an awesome story and a great recovery! Thank you so much for this amazing video and I love post video of the pictures and video from the guys wedding. This is why we do what we do in recovering lost items for people! Keep up the amazing work!

[@seedplanter7173]

I would bet that you should always keep your best find for last.. That way you will have your viewers at the edge of their seat, will nervous anticipation and hope.

[@york57]

Good video its really fun going out searching for lost treasures. I got the Garrett 400 with the pin pointer. Have been waiting for the snow to stop had Appalachian Unknown over few weeks ago. Going back out once the snow melts. They found a civil musket when over. You finding stuff in an open field makes me wonder what was once there. If you ever want to change up for a new area . Come up to WV make a day of it. Hope to see more of your videos Great job

[@truepatriot3870]

I have always wanted to do this! But been putting it off for decades! But you just gave me motivation! Thank you!!

[@chrisw422]

Go do it Bro. I got out of it for a few years, getting back in now. Garrett AT Max is an excellent machine. KellyCo has them but they go fast. There are new ones for sale on eBay as well.

[@dannyl2598]

Hey Jase, I watch unashamed and I was exited to hear that you metal detect. I too metal detect so I was curious about what you have found.....I mean be sides Jesus. That trime is a great find, defiantly on my bucket list. I hope to see more. Thanks.

[@WHATTHEBEEP1]

I had no idea Jase was into Metal Detecting thats really cool. Its a amazing hobby to be into!!! Check us out!

[@josephkarriker2532]

Love anything you put out. From duck commander to podcast and now I have this to watch. Your the man Jase.

[@Owayfromhome]

The sound of the machine soothes I have a covid I can't go anywhere until next Wednesday I envy you

[@gabewhisen3446]

Cool glad I found this channel

[@MrTyroneweaver]

You guys back east are lucky to have the history you do. Here in Idaho we don't have much I;ve only found one wheatie

[@raewhisner2383]

Jase am thrilled to see you metal detecting. Hope to see more of you detecting. Am a old gal who loves to beach metal detecting. I cant seem to get permission to hunt on private land which is why I said ah the heck with it, do the beaches.

[@howardwinter3455]

Been detecting since the 70's . Great fun . do some more. Great video.

[@frankmckinley1254]

Duck hunted in my 20s, to 40's, been detecting off and on for about thirty years. Just not in 30 degree weather . Enjoy!

[@MAINELYDIRTFISHIN]

I'm in Maine, love the videos
