Oh No You Didn't! - Metal Detecting takes a Mysterious Twist with the OLDEST Coin He's Ever Found!

- We all keep a mental record of our personal bests. Maybe it's the biggest fish you ever caught, the most weight you ever bench pressed, or your best bowling score ever (286 for me, 9/15/01 wink wink). Whatever it is, it's something you proudly remember but also always hope to one day break. Well the same goes with metal detecting, and one of the biggest personal bests that every detectorist keeps track of is the oldest coin they've ever dug. So when a day like that comes along and that record is broken; well that's a day that will always be remembered, but what if that coin is not what it appears to be! Oh man, the mystery then begins...

I like the deductive reasoning . I think you have it figured out . Nice find Doug !
That's why I like this channel because it's like a history lesson in every episode. Keep killing it out there guys looking forward to the next ...Thanks for sharing..
@@dogtagdoug6751 so if it is the counterfeit one do you know the year they were made?
@@dogtagdoug6751 thank you love you guys videos 🤪👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I was writing about the counterfeits, then you brought it up. Those counterfeits are higher value then the normal coins. Great hunt guys. Keep up the beep, good luck and happy hunting!
Way to go guys!!! Great digs. Awesome find Dog Tag Doug! Love it, Jason, when you break everything down so we all can understand. Tomorrow is going to be my first dig. All because of you guys!
WOW! Doug what a find, Congrads, May you find comfort on cold winter nights sleeping with your Britania. Good Luck with her she ain't no Dog.
Willian 3ard, the alloy varies and that is why it rings different. Back then they weren't consistent with mental mixing. Better consistency came later. but you are right about counterfeiting. It was done a lot in every era. I've seen counterfeit state coins as well. But that still may not be a counterfeit. The only way to tell is the quality of the cast or milling and there isn't enough face left to know.
That counterfeit was almost as old as Doug!!! Oh, that was the Rosie....My bad!
Wow Doug amazing coin congratulations! Great detective work Jason great story!!
Great investigative details! Probably best video!
So excited found my first piece of gold jewelry pendent today
Great video guys.... very exciting adventure with finding the K.W.lll counterfeit
Congrats Doug! Knew it had to be a counterfeit when you beeped over it again, way to low. Very cool find especially being able to tie it to a hoard found close by😎👍😊✌
100% positive ID: 1st issue William III halfpenny, dating it between 1695-1698. Somewhere in 1698 and through part of 1699, they switched to the 2nd issue design which would show the date where the NIA is on Doug's coin. The 3rd issue (99-01) is out of the question as Britannia's arm is resting on her knee. They don't usually ring that low, but it's not screaming "counterfeit" to me, either. Probably just a poorly mixed batch of copper. Great find, Doug!
Jason wonderful storytelling at the end of this video..some of your very best work, imo. You're good at this stuff no doubt...the best, imo, and this is your best work yet.
Dog Tag Doug should change his name to Dougzilla after that awesome find. That is really a cool find. Awesome video man.
Great video guys… I really appreciated the detailed explanation of Doug’s old coin… Sounds like you have it pegged from my perspective
I think you nailed this ID. Your thought process is spot on.
Doug! You're the man!! What a find! And the story behind it is incredible! Jason, I believe you're spot on in your assessment, and congrats to you, too!!! Great hunt, well done!
😆 I love your guy’s videos! Great advice...dig every repeatable signal. I tell that to everybody, well not everybody, but you know.
Yep.. I'm behind again😬..
Awesome vid guys!! Huge congrats to Doug!! That's an spacial one👍🏼🤓
Congrats Doug! Amazing find!
Loved the theories about the coin at the end Jason! I think you are right.
A quarter hoarder 420 in the Buckeye here. Good job on your investigation two thumbs up
Remember when you 'flip the coin', the USA flips coins from bottom to top. The UK and Australia, like most other countries, flip from left to right. So Williams head and Britannias head both point "up". Crikey, I hope that made sense. Cheers!
That’s what I always thought about crosspond coins. Confused here...
Amazing find Doug! Thanks for the awesome videos!!
Awesome coin Doug! Whatever it may be, it's your special slice of history!! Another great hunt guys! Congrats Jason on your George II !!
Loved the story on the William 3rd coin. Great vid. Loved it!!
I will be digging 14s on my Nox tomorrow...lol..just in case...
Crazy...tho possibly counterfeit...there's always a great story.
Great show fellas!
Awesome video! Great info. Congrats and thanks for sharing 😁
On the nose you totally nailed it as you say you been doing it long enough to know this wow and find of a life time love the videos we have a lot of history here in the uk but no one has the enthusiasm as you do over there 👍
That’s awesome congrats Doug! Great videos guys!
Doug that coin is a beauty for sure. Awesome research to identify such an amazing piece of the past out of the ground Jason. HH and be well
Great research. Some video. Congratulations Doug. Love y'all.✌❤
Congratulations Dog Tag Doug!! Incredible counterfeit! Jason congrats on your copper! Great dig! Thanks for the ride along! Be safe and HH ⛏🎧
Awesome find!!! Congrats to Doug!!! That deserves a whole new nickname!!! Good luck to you guys on your next time out!!!
Nice job jason! Figuring out whatcha got is part of the fun!
OMG, always love listening to you and dog tag Doug. You guys crack me up. Great investigating on the coin. We should call you the Sherlock Holmes of metal detecting.
Congrats Doug on your oldest copper. I found a William and Mary that ring up in the low 50's like a shotgun shell on an AT Pro. King Williams usually ring up like KG's if not slightly lower. I'm leaning towards counterfeit KW but just a guess.
Great hunt fellas!! Way to go Doug on your 1600's "clad"!! Haha! It is still a killer score if it is counterfeit or not! Congrats everybody and good luck on the next!
Congrats Doug-Boat on the old coin. Great hunt guys
Good research Jason! Thanks for sharing
I think you’re correct about the counterfeit William III, I’ve dug 2 counterfeit colonial coins this year, a KGII and a KGIII, both rang up between 16 and 19 on my equinox and a real KGII will ring up a solid 26. Congrats Doug !!
your videos are always on spot and very informative. Keep it up
Great video guys!! Great treasures found. You two are so funny I love it. As your finds. =)
A great addition to any collection. Even counterfeit, its value must be good given the rarity of those coins. Great channel you have sir. Cant wait to see your next hunt.
You do realize if you pull a tombac button with a shank still intact that you've been - wait for it - Tom Shanksed. LOL :) New detector lingo for you :)
I took my nephew metal detecting with me to an old homestead place here in Oklahoma .. I've been metal detecting for years and years 30 minutes after I take him his first time ever to go he digs up a glass top jar full of old half a dollars beside of the corner of the house now the 12-year-old is the best metal detector in the family and he has been rubbing it in on a daily basis . now he wants to go every weekend so I have accomplished what I wanted he is putting the Xbox down getting off the computer and having the time of his life and he keeps everything he digs up being an uncle is great
Started w/ace 350 then 400 added the SIMPLEX RECENTLY. Guys it's better then what im seeing other saying it doesn't go deep. WHATEVER.... It's more accurate on depth and it's going as deep and deeper then my 400. In farm mode on a ft. Deep ALWAYS... And it's teaching me to SIMPLY dig all solid repeating numbers. I love the other settings. But farm mode is a game changer on the SIMPLEX y'all
You all are too funny! Awesome finds. Counterfeit coin was a great find.
Great job on the research, think you're spot on with the ID. I have to agree with what some other people have commented also, could be either a poor alloy mix or a straight up counterfeit coin, which was common in that time. Even if counterfeit, it wasn't modern, it was done in that time period, which is awesome! Great find Doug, congratulations! Nice hunt and finds, good luck on your next hunt!
How cool was that?! Amazing history on your digs
Thank you for another great detecting video! Some really good finds too. Loved your analysis of the coin. You should be a detective;-)
Congratulations Doug!!!!
Earlier this summer I dug a William the third half penny At a park here in down east Maine of course the park service wanted it but 6 inches down in sandy soil it rang up at 92 with my anfibio . Once I got it out it rang up at 82 . It took me a bit of research to identify since only William was visible. So all this is to say I’m with u counterfeit . So cool!!!!
Great find Doug Congrats.
Seeing as they didn't have metal detectors back in that time I wouldn't doubt that those coins passed and were used as actual currency....despite the fact. The devousness of greedy ppl...great research work, you might have made a really good detective had you went that path...
Great detective work on identifying that coin.
I see what you saw, a really really old William coin! Thank you for explaining it with all the examples. That's why you're the best at what you do!
Nice finds guys. Been a long time follower. Oh I still need to buy that new digger tool Jason. Will be in touch.
Amazing video, great investigatory work!!
You and Dog Tag Doug, Mexican Doug, Jane FonDoug Rock!!
I agree 100% , great detective work !
Awesome job guys!!
Shower shank! HAHAHAHA! Loved the vid!
As always, entertaining and educational. Would be curious what readings you'd get with the Garrett Metal Detector on the old coin that Doug found. Several times you mentioned 1877 Indian penny. Is this a rare one?
Excellent information. Very interesting, Kurt has found some counterfeits. You should check with him about what rings up low .
Great wrap up!
I think you proved the case on that coin. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care.
"What did that ring up as?" "Beep, beep, beep." LoL Love you guys! :D
@@dogtagdoug6751 You guys are fun!
👍 nice research!
awesome video, always a lot of to watch.
good break down
Could be lead and Seems like a counterfeit the way it rang up. The quality of the coins decreased as the reign of King William lengthened. Good find and good hunt and excellent investigative breakdown!!
ZOOEEEMAMA!!! Coinfest! Incredible relic recoveries!!! WTG QH Crew!!!
Congrats Doug cool find if its the counterfeit probably rarer then the real one!!!
my weekly fix you guys are Awesome...
Could it be a counterfit? They must have counterfited coins; a job as old as time! HA...you just said it! OMG! I'm right!
Awsome finds as usual 😁 I have found 5 king William's, that coin looks very much like the one's I have gotten, and I'm pretty sure none came in that low on my Nox 600, guess I will have to check, maybe I have some counterfeit coins 🤣 lol
First off, great hunt. Always fun to watch..But I found 47 buttons In a pit in tennessee . 29 were ball buttons and the rest were 2 or 3 piece flat buttons with extra quality on the back. Most were still attached to a uniform. If I email or message you do you think i could possible get some help identifying them.
Way to go Counterfeit Doug!
Counterfeit or not still a period find and to me a rarer one nonetheless.. I called William III counterfeit as well
A Williiam III half penny can't be a Hibernia with Brittania on it ( to be a Hibernia it would have a crowned harp on the reverse ). George I had a Hibernia coin with Brittania on it known as the William Woods coinage. Both monarchs look the same way and have hair tassels. Not sure on id of this coin but I will go with William III. Round ball buttons were also used on gloves. Hope this info helps from across the pond. 😊.
Dougie Rules !!! Right on boys !!! Well done 👍
Wow that would be incredible counterfeit or not. Very cool location and hunt.
I think you may be right about that half penny being William, and maybe a counterfeit, to boot, but you are turning the coin wrong. I believe that British coins turn to the side and what you are calling the tuft of hair that looks too high is probably his rather prominent nose. Nice find though, however you look at it.
First thing I thought was it's counterfeit. Cheaper alloys are always counterfeit
First thought that popped in my head when you swung over it was that it was a counterfeit.
yep counterfeit still a great find! need to get with yall for a good time to come up and dig? getting some time off soon!
That's why it's good when you go out to be with friends that have different machines. We ran into a similar situation a few weeks ago when we had a coin ring in low and we checked it with different machines. Now I'm wondering if the coin he found was counterfeit coin too. It wasn't a William 1/2 Penny, but state copper.
Nice finds and coins! Aren't metal detecting finds interesting as you say you never know!
I have to wonder. How in the blue blazes does some of these things end up in a farm field?
Nice guys keep up the videos
By the patina, Doug's coin looks bronze to me.
Hi , this is so interesting to me , what kind or brand is medal detector ,and pin pointer should I get. ? And the shovel too. ,I can't wait to hear from you . I'm in Elpaso Texas.
Jason, It`s counterfeit they made alot of them. that why your VDI numbers are so different.
Awesome video guys! You sure make my snowy day a little better!
I am interested in getting started, what machine do you suggest?
1873 ! 3 pricey varieties... Have you cleaned it yet?
What kind of detector's are you using? Are they the same or different?? GOOD FIND anyways
sweetness nice coin. wow.
That was interesting 🤔
I dug up a 1942 P war nickel in my backyard last year with a machine that didn't do VDI's this year I bought a Simplex found one another war nickel
In my front yard . My friend bought a machine ( Simplex ) so I was making videos of some coins I founds VDI so he could know what to expect, my one rings up like any other nickel 30 the 42P rings 62 it also doesn't make the ringing noise when you flip it in air at all. I think I have a planchette error I'm gonna find a jeweler to xrf it and if it is I'm sending it to pcgs
HAPPY NEW YEARS
