When Christmas Comes Early... Metal Detecting With A Stunning Find!

[@RESISTANCE..3]

I find the hobby facinateing & the fact that mostly one never knows what treasure lyes beneath the surface to me is the ultimate rush , and these videos are as addictive as the hobby it's self.

[@MetalDetecting24]

Thank you Marc, I'm glad you feel that way :). The moment before an object pops out is indeed very exciting. I also like the anticipation, shortly before I turn the detector on. One could say that it becomes routine after a while - not for me, it's equally exciting each time. Have a great day.

[@zeldarobinson3382]

Awesome finds and the watch is beautiful and in one piece , love the patina on the copper coins and old buttons thank you for taking us along on another great hunt..Stay safe and God Bless

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hello Zelda, thank you very much for your comment. Some of the coins came out pretty nice. The "yellow" coin was my favorite this time. I found another one lately, but after it dried out, the surface disappeared completely. It's best to keep all finds moist, until the cleaning part. Another lesson learned... Have a great day & stay safe as well.

[@Blumack21]

G'day again and I hope you are well. Great to watch your detecting trip and I like the Pipe Wind Cap and Pocket Watch and the extra buttons for your shirts lol. Thank you. Andy

[@MetalDetecting24]

:D Thank you Andy, I need new shirts for all those buttons. I wish I could show how I found the pipe cap, because this was really something. As you could see, the top of the cap was missing. This was the tip where a giant rock was sitting. If not for the small rock inside, the cap would be squashed. Have a great day!

[@francescalichfieldcity6971]

Not all hunts are the same which makes the excitement intensify. The pocket watch cleaned up beautifully. Makes me think why it stopped at that time or just naturally fell off and broke. So many ' how it cane to be " goes through my mind. Your assistants loved the 🌞 and l bet you did too. X

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hello Francesca, thank you very much for your comment. My theory is: the watch fell to the ground at some point, but someone stepped on it later (that's when the glass broke). I loved the watch, it came as a huge surprise. Have a great day!

[@sondraa_5060]

I enjoy watching this, I love collecting old coins when I come across them & you just never know when a small old beautiful pocket watch might jump out at you.. that was exciting! Thank you for your adventures.😎✨

[@glaflamme]

That was a great hunt! The pocket watch is amazing!

[@alantan6255]

Another great day. You are killing it! Fun to watch and can't for the next one.

[@donaldscott7279]

Love the pocketwatch

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hello Donald, I was very happy about this find as well :). It doesn't happen every day. I think I found my last pocket watch years ago, although I find some pieces more often.

[@DETECTOR_MG]

I really love your videos. Thanks for sharing your findings. Greetings from Brazil.

[@marydegenkolb9603]

Vo ist der bonnhauf bitte? I think its perfect logic. They battery capacity has changed over the years. Better batteries, better coil conductivity. The watch was a stunning find. I bet its over 70 years old. Nice day to hunt. Give the assistants my hugs.

[@MetalDetecting24]

Ha ha, yes perfect, I could ask the question in the village. Fortunately I found the exit. I had problems with both batteries since the beginning. Both of my white "HF" (High Frequency) coils charged sometimes for hours, but showed often only 1/3 of charge, or even stopped working right after, at the beginning of the next outing. The last time I used the second battery, it showed 100% of charge at home, but quit working after a few minutes in the woods. You can probably imagine my frustration after a long walk. I guess, the quality control was just not good enough. I hope the new coil will never quit on me in the field. I will forward the hugs to my assistants, thank you!

@@MetalDetecting24 That was the first German phrase I learned when I was stationed in Grafenwoehr. I heard the train, so.... But still great finds!

[@pauluk6376]

HI MR MD24,wow,what a great start to the hunt,a beautiful view from the train ride to location which looked fantastic by the way,love the button [ It would'nt be a MD24 hunt without a button } coins were great too and that reichspfennig cleaned up really nice,and that pocket watch was the icing on the cake,what a beautiful item and was in great condition,you dont normally find them that complete,but a superb find ,stay safe and well my friend.........HAPPY HUNTING

[@savagesquirrel9828]

You found the wonderful watch at the edge of a “fairy ring” of mushrooms. Lots of fairy rings in those woods. I think the line of mushrooms must indicate the wind direction to carry the spores. I have avoided getting a cell phone because, as you said, everyone constantly stares at theirs. Besides, I don’t need one because everyone else has one and can answer things for me if I am in a hurry to know😀

[@rockabillycatz]

That is a nice time piece stunning my friend probably ladies ? the master did it again well done buddy,take care,👍

Great hunt as always!! I was hoping you’d venture to open the watch. Looks 1890’s to 1930’s. Great find. Thanks for an always relaxing forest hunt!!

[@MetalDetecting24]

Thank you! I thought about cleaning and eventually opening it, but the glass looks very fragile with broken pieces hardly being held together. Unscrewing the back could give me more info about the watch, but I think I'll leave it like that for now. Have a great day.

Hello Lucy, thank you for your comment. I'm impatient when it comes to metal detecting, that's true. But that's part of my hunting style. The urge to find something quick, without wasting much time is a small challenge that can add a "sporting" aspect to it. Sometimes it can be frustrating, but also motivating. Greetings to Chile. :)

[@aumetalmental8403]

That watch was so odd, out there all by itself. Very nice find indeed. That big bit you thought might be shrapnel towards the beginning, looked a lot like a meteorite. Of course you only gave brief view, but if so, could be worth big 💰...that was huge.✌️😎

[@MetalDetecting24]

Thank you very much, the watch felt indeed totally out of place. I'm pretty sure the "meteorite" was man made and I believe having found similar pieces before. I'm just not sure what it is. But if it came from outer space, it could have been made by Aliens :). Next time, I'll give it a second look. Have a great day.

Hello Mr Md 24 Thanks For The Train Ride It Sure looks like A Pretty Place . If I lived there I would Ride That Train Just For The Those Awesome Views, What’s The Name Of That Forest ? Great Find With The Pocket Watch ,Oh And The Wind Pipe Cap Truly Looked Like A UFO Great ,Job With Cleaning To, I Was Thinking The Watch Was Kinda Small, but I Like The Style And Designs On It. Maybe A women’s Pocket Watch 1800s. Not Sure Just A Thought. Oh I’m Thinking Your Assistance Were Glad You Did Not Hurt Yourself Again. Anyway Thanks For Another Great Hunt And Have A Great Weekend 👍😊

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hello Wendy, thank you for your comment. The woods are beautiful this time of year. One would think that people enjoy the view, but almost everyone on the train is starring at a smartphone. I'm glad that nothing happened, it's very slippery in some places. I wish you a great Sunday!

Nice finds, congrats! Christmas came early with the release of Deus 2!

[@MetalDetecting24]

Thank you Kevin! A new detector release is always a great thing as it moves our (still very limited) technology forward. Cheers!

[@delukxy]

Binaural mike working well. Please make the final forest sounds level (during the finds at the end) higher. I wish the carrot was louder! Nice watch, not the first you have found like this. A very popular type. Yes late 1800's.

[@MetalDetecting24]

Thank you for watching and the suggestion. I will have to wait for spring to record new (better) audio of birds. I will also try to make my pinpointer louder. I stuffed the tiny speaker with modeling clay a few years ago, now it's difficult to get it out. I already "increased" the volume a bit, but it's not enough and I'm aware of it (especially on windy days, or in places with other background noises). I'll try to disassemble it again. Have a great day.

[@wendelhose7257]

Great hunt /cheers from oz/are you thinking of up grading to deus 2 or waiting for real world results /allways wondered you never seem 2 find any old buildings in forest /all ways good videos cheers from oz

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hello, thank you for watching. I will have to see some real world tests first. I made too many detector purchases in the past, with some decisions I really regret. This unit is very expensive, therefore I would have to see some real advantages over the previous model first (and even then I would have to think about it) . For some reason places are detect are very clean, they seldom indicate presence of people over a longer period of time. In this case one could say that some of them have been working together at this place, but that's probably about it - they probably left home after. Finds I make are usually from someone who was probably there just like me, for several hours max. Greetings to Oz.

[@Schauerland]

Wirst du dir den Deus 2 holen? Falls ja hoffe ich dass du wieder ein Vergleichs Video machst :) Wow tolle Taschenuhr!

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hallo, im Moment mache ich mir noch keine Gedanken darüber. Falls demnächst mehr Einzelheiten bekannt werden, könnte es sich natürlich schnell ändern. Sollte ich den Deus 2 irgendwann haben, werde ich versuchen ein Vergleichs-Video zu machen (denn es interessiert mich ebenfalls). Viele Grüße.

[@MetalDetecting24]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@perisssss]

Hello, great hunting! The pocket watch is between 1895-1920 (the wind is on it - it is not a key-wind). It is a small, so it was a ladies pocket watch. For the origin/brand, you should open it from behind to see the letters in the case and the hallmarks. If it has a (.800) mark, it is from Germany or Switzerland. Otherwise, it is from France. These 3 countries had these kinds of watches, with same dials and cases. If it is impossible to open the back of the case, there is one hallmark in the frond side of the case, over the number 12 of the dial, do you looking it? I see it, but I can't focus, usually French pocket watches had there a hallmark "poincon crabe", but doesn't look to fit, it looks more like the Swiss silver hallmark "groose" (i cant see well). (Also, my opinion is to remove the broken glass)

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hello, thank you very much for the info. I wasn't even trying to unscrew the back, because I was too afraid, something might break. Should I open it, I will show an update in the beginning of one of the future videos. Judging for the outside the inside must be in good shape, what makes me a little bit more curious too. I will think about the glass as well. Right now it has more symbolic/"historical" value for me in its current state, as it shows the damage as possible outcome of some action (although it could also be the result of someone (not connected to the situation) stepping on it. I wish you a great day.

[@wadoman699]

How do you choose where to hunt?

[@leeredpath1]

I have wondered if he researches the areas or just picks some woods and looks for himself. As many places must be waiting to be found. 👍🙂

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hello, it's often a spontaneous decision, based on Google satellite map. I also try to make sure, there aren't any archaeological spots that could be out of limit (to be sure that I don't stumble upon accidentally). If it's clean, I visit the area with some ideas, but make the final decision when I'm there (based on my intuition and the impression of the terrain, something that is difficult/impossible to make at home).

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hello Lee, please look at my answer above. You are right, I prefer not to know too much. Infos about older roads etc. could influence and subconsciously "overrule" my decisions once in the field. Following the intuition turned out to work best for me.

[@yannhayon2796]

Hi interesting finds and relaxing video as always. I really would appreciate a camera that captures more of the woods around. But i guess thats not possible to not reveal locations 🤔

[@hubsi5263]

Exactly...

[@MetalDetecting24]

Thank you, hmm, I thought I showed many shots of the area this time. I tried a wider camera angle lately and although it captured more of the image/area (which was my intention), the digging part seemed to suffer a bit (due to longer distance, which somehow felt a little more disconnected). I switched back because of it...

[@tomcomley3022]

Nice finds. Did you get a make off the watch? Year?

[@MetalDetecting24]

Thank you, not yet. I didn't want to open it, as I would have to move the upper part that stays in way and might break. Maybe at some other point in time...

[@digginupthecarolinas9870]

Beautiful up there,we're are you at detecting, COUNTRY,STATE

Moin! Seit ich deine Videos schaue frage ich mich wie dein Werkzeug heißt? Ist es ein Eispickel wie ihn Kletterer nutzen? In der Szene wo du den Handschuh anziehst fragte ich mich, weshalb du keine trägst, im Hinblick auf die Rückfahrt mit dem Zug, denke aber das hat sich mit dem Moos selbst erklärt.

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hallo, vielen Dank fürs Schauen. Der Hersteller des Werkzeugs ist mir leider unbekannt. Auf dem Aufkleber waren damals nur japanische Schriftzeichen zu sehen. Eine Zeit später wurde es aus dem Sortiment genommen. Wenn Du etwas ähnliches suchst, würde ich die Google-Bildersuche vorschlagen und sie mit Begriffen wie "Japanische Spitzhacke" füttern. P.s. Ich habe ebenfalls kurz geschaut und diese schweizerische Seite gefunden: www.hermannbaur.ch/produkte/handhacken-und-unkrautentfernung/japanische-handhacken/ Dort gibt es ganz unten ein sehr ähnlich aussehendes Produkt. Vielleicht wäre es einen Versuch wert?

I think leaving the coil white is a good ideal. Really happy you found the ladies pocket watch! Do those coins from the 30's and 40's have collectable value and if so how much? God bless

[@ddawe31635]

You put on your magical blue glove & things started to happen! Super curious as to where those bullet casings were we made. One was Minnesota? I'm sorry, an American thing I guess. The watch is beautiful! Small. Maybe a woman's watch? I an guessing. Obviously I have no watch knowledge. Good job my friend! Beautiful area! So happy you found that watch! That Beetle was beautiful!

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hello, two casings were made in the "Twin Cities Ordnance Plant" (of Minneapolis, Minnesota). The third one came from the "Des Moines Ordnance Plant" in Ankeny, Iowa. You are right about the woman's watch. I haven't thought of it, I assumed there were small sizes for men who preferred "ultralight backpacking" :D. Have a great day.

Hello my friend, I think the watch could be repaired, but for me the broken glass has more historical "value", because it tells the story of the object. I think I will leave it like that, at least for now. Maybe I will open the watch at some point in time, as it probably contains the makers mark. Thank you for stopping by. I wish you a great day.
