- Metal Detecting: The History Digger takes us along on a metal detecting adventure. Before he begins he asks the questions, "Why do we do it? Why do we metal detect?" The answer will no doubt very across metal detectorists but in this video Rob shares his answer. In fact he shows us exactly what he loves about the metal detecting hobby as he spends three days with his Minelab Equinox 800 and XP Deus metal detectors scouring the property of the Inn at Pine Terrace. The property once known as "Mon Bijou" (My Jewel) was built in the 1870s by Peter Schuttler, owner of the Chicago Schuttler Wagon company. At first this detecting adventure looks like it will be a bust then, unexpectedly the Mon Bijou decides to share one of her treasures? Watch to discover what is unearthed and to learn a bit about this wonderful property's history. Who knows....after watching you may even feel like you traveled through time!
Another nice dig Rob and another video shared to my Facebook page 🖤
Thx. Much appreciated Tommy.
Excellent hunt
“We are time travelers”
BBC’s Detectorists had it right when they said we are time travelers👍
Well played. I recently gifted something valuable I found to some home owners. It’s a great feeling!
Great vid and I loved the local history lesson!!! Just found your channel today too. Lol
There is much history to that place. I believe there has to be treasure there? The name "Mon Bijou" French? My Jewel. Perhaps, to stay dedicated, and to use different coils. You certainly have the tools of the trade to use. Thanks for the video!
Agree. The perseverance paid off. The watch fob was an incredible find. Glad it can be displayed for others to also enjoy.
Great video Rob love the history you add to your videos.
Fantastic Robbie! I wanted to hear more story telling. Great job!
Great find! It’s such a great hobby I love the thrill of what’s in the ground heck I dug 3 gold rings this week!
Awesome Mark! Congrats on the rings and thx for the watch.
This one was pretty special and took a while to edit. If you enjoy the video please drop a note in the comment section, let us know why YOU metal detect. Also please consider sharing this video link with others if you think they'll enjoy. Thanks so much and happy digging!
An incredible find. We all love the possible history we find. Finding the gems within the trash is such a thrill.
Right on Rob :)
Thanks Liz!
Beautiful find my friend 👍✌
That was an awesome video CONGRATS Rob, Watch fob is a beauty
Outstanding find. I just started detecting this year. I have only been out 3 times, and have only found one clad dime. This video will help motivate me to keep digging. Congratulations.
Hi Robin. Thanks and yes, get back out there and give it some more time. ;). Thx for watching.
Great video, Rob. Nice find! Why do I do it? Digging's in my family's blood I guess. My mom was a paleontologist and I've always ben interested in archeology and numismatics. Perfect fit for me!
Michael that is so cool. Have you watched “Time Team” on Amazon? Think you’d enjoy it.
@@TheHistoryDigger1 No, never heard of it. Will check it out, though. Thanks!
Very well done. I have watched a lot of detecting videos. This was excellent. I love that quote, we as metal detectorist are time travelers,,,,,love it,,,
Thank you very much Don! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Great Stuff Rob...
Much appreciated Dan.
Hi. Just came across your video. I really enjoyed it. Great find and loved the way you explained the history of the place you are hunting at. Also I would like to add that you filming is very good. It's smoothe, transitions nicely from one scene to the next. Your composition of shooting and stills is really good too. Your voice is very pleasant and articulate. I have subbed your channel and plan on watching your other vids. Keep up the great work. I hope that one day I can get a style similar to yours.
That's very kind of you Roger. Thanks so much for the feedback and for watching!
Awesome stuff 👍👍😁

Woow amazing bro Al the best for you 🤠👏
Thank you so much 😀Glad you enjoyed it. It was fun to edit and share this one!
Good Morning. I am new to this. I just bought Minelab Vanquish 440 as my 1st detector. I live in Daytona Beach and I plan to walk the beaches after storms and SpringBreak, as well as some historical areas here in Florida. Have not used it yet, as, it arrives tomorrow. Any thoughts on the unit itself?
I think you be happy with it. Good beach machine! If you’ve not already done so pick up a decent beech scoop. Good luck!
👍 Bel video
Great video and story I agree beautiful ladies fob
Thx Rusty. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Did you trade your XP ORX for the Deus remote ?
No I still have the ORX. My wife uses it. I won the Deus control unit and x35 coil in a raffle. Still getting used to the Deus.
@@TheHistoryDigger1 Deus Line is good X and Y screen
