  • In this episode of The Hillsdale Boys, I venture on my own one day after work to a spot Speiser and I hit 3-4 years ago in Ohio. I love hunting down there and don't do it enough. We only hit it once, but it was a rather loud site filled with can slaw, but we did find coins, so whenever I have this situation, I always go back. This particular site was on my 1874 map and gone by my 1904 map, so it was an oldie. I will add that an 1864 map has come into my possession, and this was indeed on it. So sit back and enjoy: BIG OHIO SILVER ! cuz I sure did 😊👍

    Great hunt. Some very nice coins. I hear some red winged blackbirds in the background. Love the sound of those birds. I’m from northern Indiana.

    Wow, you really got onto some goodies in this one. I've been watching a guy called "The Scottish Detectorist". He finds British coins a lot, of course. He deciphers the Latin abbreveations all the time. I think it says George III, by the grace of God, King of Brittania, Ireland and Scotland. That first fatty Indian(actually all the Indians) is in really nice condition. Thanks.

    Bull Head rather than Bulldog. 1816 was the first year of a new reformed coinage where the metal value did not have to equal the face value, so it was Britains first “token” coinage. Nice find. Andy

  • @88997799
    @88997799 Před 11 měsíci

    Try using your pinpoint her to lock onto the target location before you dig… turn on to max setting of 3…. Make a cross over the target area and lock on before you dig and you won’t hit the targets as often. You’d be surprised how often the Pinpointer can detect the target.

    • @TheHillsdaleBoys
      @TheHillsdaleBoys  Před 11 měsíci

      I miss my Pro tones, but yes, I like it. Boy, it's definitely more powerful, that's for sure. On these iron patches, I have to turn the sensitivity way down. Never had to do that with the pro. Even with the Sharpshooter coil, I still have to. Hitting those deep square nails every 3 steps is annoying. I know it would help with deep goodies, but most of my goodies are less than 5 inches anyways so I'm not keen on it. So I turn it down. I'll gage every spot I guess for sensitivity adjustments. It'll be fine... 👍

      No I'm not leaving, I only hunt in the spring before fields are planted and the fall after harvest. So I try and get my videos during that time . If I get the itch bad enough I go during the summer but projects around the house and lots of overtime at work has kept me busy this summer.

    Hey Andy, I was going back and watching some of your videos, love all the coins you found, love the bull head. Was you using the sniper coil here and what advantage did it give you in the corn field?

    • @TheHillsdaleBoys
      @TheHillsdaleBoys  Před 11 dny

      Thank you,, yeah, I'm definitely a coin shooter. Yeah, it's the Nel Sharpshooter coil. It's 9.5 X 5.5, and it's absolutely perfect for the high iron, long gone field homesites.The depth is astonishing as well for such a small coil. Especially in corn stubble. Corn stubble is tuff because your swinging areas are small, the small coil really helps in that situation. The Sharpshooter is my full time coil.

      Lol, sometimes I remember to pull it out and sometimes I don't. My mind isn't there, meaning everything I find I keep, and I'm never thinking of the monetary value for someday possibly selling. Someday, I may dig something and regret it, I know. I was so excited, I'm not surprised i forgot to grab it, lol.

    • @TheHillsdaleBoys
      @TheHillsdaleBoys  Před rokem

      Guess it depends on how hard they look at the micro finish when you send one out but like you said, dug coin, 150 plus years in a farm field being plowed every year. I'm lucky it was in as good of shape as it was. I don't think it was lost from the original settlers of that site. I'll bet it was lost much later and was a keep sake of later inhabitants. It was in to good of condition in my book.
