I hope to see you at the Lincoln Heritage Museum on July 13th at 1:00 PM. I’ll be talking about the wonderful hobby of metal detecting and the history beneath our feet. By the way, are you familiar with Abraham Lincoln’s interesting connection to metal detecting? If not stop on by to find out!
Manassas VA - A Metal Detecting Roadtrip!
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed 2 měsíci
Two friends and I travelled to an area near the famed Manassas Virginia civil war battlefield. Rumor had it that a local river ford was used as a crossing point by both northern and southern armies. Our mission was to locate the ford and try to recover any evidence of civil war activity. We hoped to also learn more about the battles of Manassas and who knows, maybe even have a little bit of met...

Metal Detecting Ring Recovery
zhlédnutí 393Před 2 měsíci
One of the best things about the hobby of metal detecting is the ability to give back to the community. We often do this by providing free recovery services for those that are trying to locate lost items such as rings, pieces of jewelry and even lost property stakes. Today was one of those days! #metaldetecting #ringrecovery

      Appears to be about 26.5 inches. Fits my Deus 2. This is the XP 240 backpack. They also sell a 280 which is larger. I do not know the dimensions of that. Since I released this video CKG has also launched a metal detecting backpack. Hope that helps. Good luck.

    As for hand tools, i use a hori hori knife, cold steel trench shovel, seldom use a pinpointer unless the ground needs to be kept nice, i use a tool poach now with nail apron but have my eyes on a purpose built poach. Small spray bottle, no probe yet but may carry one for needed applications. I like the bucket idea but not sure about carrying it around. I find some purpose built stuff for metal detectors to be ok but overpriced, i always try to find alternatives.

    Excellent video detailing a type of hunt that doesn't happen that much in England. Our gardens seem to be too full of trash, and even the more recent finds- Pre-Decimal pennies- are often dug so very deep that you wonder how many feet of earth you'd have to shift before you reached the really old stuff. Strange happenings in the building, but I could hear the roar of trucks going by...how close is the busy road? I remember doing an investigation in an older property where they complained of Poltergeist activity. At the bottom of the garden though was the railway, and the passing of the trains was shaking the foundations of the place so very gently, making things wobble off shelves over time, pictures would fall. Something to consider. The homeowner will have a lovely display of finds though, in a specially made case those items connected to the house will take pride of place! Great work.

    What settings do you run on your detector wild beach detecting fresh water?

    • @TheHistoryDigger1
      @TheHistoryDigger1 Před měsícem

      It’s depends but I will normally just use a land setting like “park”. The beach settings are optimized for saltwater and heavy mineralization. Not necessary on fresh water beaches here.

    First time watching you guys, good video. I think the piece you think may be a trigger mechanism looks like a common piece of "tack" during that time. As part of a leather buckle that laid flat. It's cool to be able to identify specific items like j hooks due to their unique design. Much of those rings could be tack from that era. Thanks
