  • THIS IS IT! My BEST hunt of 2024 so far! This is a video I’ve been ITCHING to share with you all for weeks now! I had an absolutely INSANE day metal detecting in the woods at a virgin colonial site with the Minelab Manticore. Old coins, RARE coins, relics that I seldom find - they were absolutely flying out of the ground! We don’t get to enjoy days like this very often as metal detectorists, but when we do, we remember them forever. This is one of those days. ENJOY!

    Lol you might not remember but last day of BONE last year I pulled out a bunch of scrap metal for you to check. "Junk. Garbage. Could have been something but probably junk.". 😂 I probably would have thought that ramrod thimble was junk and tossed it! The etched tombac was gorgeous and definitely my favorite find - more personal than a coin IMO. I loved your hat as well! ❤

      I usually post a lot of closeups and wrap-up photos on Facebook and Instagram now. Wrap-ups during videos unfortunately encourage a lot of people to tune out for the last portion of the video, and this hurts the analytics/reach of my videos, so I took them out primarily for that reason.
