Why we Metal Detect, Digging In Virginia 48

What a unbelievable time at taking in Virginia Metal Detecting for lost artifacts from the American Civil War. Each time I get the opportunity to attend one of these metal detecting events they are always something special to me. I get the chance to find something I’ve never found, to hang out with old friends, and make new ones. This time at Digging in Virginia was no exception and exceptional time was had by all. I hope you enjoy this video as always thank you for your support and will see you right here in the next Gone Diggin

What an amazing hunt and finds. Seeing the rubber poncho was very cool. So many bucket listers of mine you all were digging out of the ground. I hope to one day get to detect a location like this. Congratulations on the Eagle Plate. I just happened to find one this summer that a soldier must have brought home. Absolutely my best find of the summer. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care.

Sweet plate Matt! It was a real pleasure meeting you and thanks for the GPX settings video, I used your settings and had my most productive DIV. I can hardly wait for DIV 50👍🏻

Great episode, Matt. What fantastic finds. I can only imagine what it must feel like to dig these pieces of history. I get goose bumps from just watching the video. Lol. I positively love those big three ringers!! Not a whole lot of them in Wisconsin, as you might imagine. Keep the coils swingin, and the camera rollin!!!

[@nuggetshooteretteexpeditions]

Don't know alot about civil war relics but that was a great hunt! I sure wish I was metal detecting when I still lived in Virginia! Great job to you all! Happy Hunting!🌵😁🍀

[@ErlefromVa]

Awesome Breast plate Matt, wish I could have bumped into you before leaving! Looks like you guys had some fun!

[@wadoman699]

I noticed you all use the GPX. Is that because other detectors don't work so well in Virginia soil? If I someday manage to get to a DIV, what other detectors work there?

[@GoneDiggin]

For DIV you do need a GPX but for other places in Va not needed
