Thank you Mr. Donnie for all your hard work.😃
Awesome finds today…..SO glad u got back at doing what u love Mr. Donnie thank you for sharing 💙
Thank you for sharing. We found horses before powling up the garden
God bless you and your whole family…🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀
Donnie, I know you find a lot of shotgun shells and some bullets up on the ridge. What would folks be shooting at?
Somebody was probably shooting at a rabbit 🐇 or a squirrel 🐿 back 100 years ago… really weird how time goes by…. Thanks buddy…
I have a cabin and property that borders Big South Fork. I’d like to do some metal detecting in my area.
Thanks again Donnie for another great video! 👍🙏
Great finds ! And the sun was out!!! Thank you for the video. I hope you and your wife have a wonderful blessed weekend.
Having steel hips & knees used to prevent me doing any metal detection. I know I couldn’t even show my husband how to find the survey markers for our lot… haha. More than likely they have machines that can be set to ‘ignore’ me. I know the Ex sure learned to… ROFL (roll on floor laughing)
Are those old shotgun shells worth anything, or do you just like to collect them?
Not bad sir not bad be safe there Donnie sir. I’m not sure on the shell casing but be careful out there and GOD BLESS
Beautiful and peaceful country. Thanks so much for the video Mr. Laws.
P.S. I really appreciate how you always clean up your mess.
Yes that was a good day
I always enjoy these exploring videos Donnie. Always anxious when the detector gives you a reading. Thank you sir. PS the horse that wore that shoe had to be a pretty big horse. Hope you have a great weekend.
The rifle case is a .556 NATO, government ball ammo like would be used in an M16 or ar15
Just found your channel two days ago , i love your videos and i learned a lot so far , God bless you and have a wonderful day
Thanks Donnie 🤗❤️
### IT’S SO GRAND to see the many ways that God is blessing you… My prayer is that God will continue blessing above and beyond measure… BBE…
For every shotgun shell, is probably dinner for a family. Back then shells were not waisted on anything but game.
Good stuff Brother..God bless you
Hey Mr Laws. It’s always Good Luck to find You a horseshoe. You gotta put it up so the Luck don’t run out. Some old Shotgun Shells. Thanks for your show. It brought me and my pup some Sunshine on a rainy Virginia day..Thanks Mr Laws. Good hunting and God Bless You 🙏 🇺🇲🐕🐾🪶🐻🐦🦫🐿♥️
Greetings Mr. Laws, thanx for sharing. The FC on the Rifle cartridge probably stands for Federal Cartridge, and the 06 is the year of manufacture. Hope this helps, God bless.😃
Another great video. Keep bringing them, I love to watch because you never know what you will find.
Good finding today 👍👍
Some neat old finds up on that ridge Donnie….and it started out with a lucky horseshoe ….
Have a great weekend and Thank you for the video Brother.
Hello from KY love your channel 💞.I am always excited about what you will find and sincerely hoping it is not a snake.Take care friend.❤️
The markings on the shell reminds me of federal cartridge 30-06
Found a bunch of change and knife and one wallet at a football game one time after a home game under the seats outside just laying on top no telling under great shows keep up the good work be safe my friend
Hello from Columbia TN!!! I love your channel!!
Fascinating! You make me want to go metal detecting (preferably around an old homeplace)! Thanks for bringing me along with you! Much love from SC, Jane ❤️ 🙏
Well, I’ve got to say if anyone ever told me I’d enjoy watching videos of someone metal detecting I’d say they were crazy. 🤣. But I have to admit I enjoy your metal detecting videos so much! I’ve enjoyed all of your videos about the history of the Appalachians but I was skipping over the metal detecting videos thinking they wouldn’t interest me. One night I decided to watch one and I’m hooked. Thank you for sharing this with us. 😊
Hey brother, what I’ve been able to find out about the cartridge is it’s made buy federal ammunition company and it’s a 30-06
Good find on the 410 , you mostly find 12 and 16 .Got to be close up to get a squirrel with 410 but the old single barrel 410s were easy to tote up and down the ridges ,they were fairly light and didn’t kick a young boy or an old man to hard.12ga kicks me so hard now ,I Just won’t shoot one anymore.
Hey Donnie, If you ever want to come over here on the Plateau near Lancing I have over 600 acres near me that’s begging to be metal detected.
That one looks like a 270 or 30-06 but I don’t know that Mr Donnie. Been in the 70’s here in VA this week. Raining today had to get off work early today because just slopping around in the mud. Hope weather been fair your way Mr Donnie. Thanks again my good friend
I put on my rubber boots when it was warmer a few days ago and hunted some in the woods around here with my Minelab Vanquish 340. My rechargeable batteries started getting weak after about two hours so I quit. I found some 22 bullets and casings, an old ring beaver tail pull tab, a copper penny, nickel, quarter (found these close to the dirt road…50s to 70s for the quarter), brass zipper, a weird paperclip, and a lot of iron signals. I`ve found over 60 coins with it. It`s really good at picking out coins in trashy places.
The coil is 10×7 I believe so the equinox goes two inches deeper unless you buy the 12 inch coil. My 10 inch coil hits nickels at 13 inches in air tests and everything else over 10 inches to 12. But the equinox has better target separation in most tests. But I did get a 29/30 quarter signal when I tested mine, dug a giant rusty nail, checked the hole with my pinpointer, and the quarter was about an inch away from the 5 inch nail. And if I hold pull tabs and iron in my hand with a quarter in coin mode it picks up the quarter. So maybe the newer models have been updated?
The jewelry mode on the Vanquish is the standard beach mode factory setting of the Equinox and both machines use 5, 10, 15, 20, and 40 khz multi frequency. But the Vanquish has less settings, options, target separation, and isn`t waterproof. But the target ID is more stable at depth so they did improve that plus it`s less prone to interference too and chatters less in urban areas.
But it does give poor folks a chance to use the amazing technology of the Equinox, especially on beaches and mineralized soil. And my 340, which new is only 200 bucks, blows the Garrett AT Pro away on depth and target separation plus works amazingly on the beach and can find tiny earring backs like the Equinox. Just turn it on, hit jewelry mode, and max sensitivity. It has coin mode and all metal deep relic mode too.
Hey Donnie
I love watching you get up in the ridges! It reminds me of my childhood days running around one Pax, WVa! My mom was born there. That shell you found, I believe is from a 30-06. Thirty Ott Six.
I ENJOYED THIS VERY MUCH DONNIE. IS THE EQUIPMENT EXPESIVE TO HAVE THIS HOBBY? IT LOOKS FUN AS I WOULD LOVE TO DO IT IF MY HEALTH COULD IMPROVE SOME. GOD BLESS YOU SIR!
Nice find Donnie❗👍 thanks for sharing❤️💯🏆
I love the history of the ridges, Donnie. Beautiful old horseshoe and shotgun headstamps…remnants of days lived more simply. God bless!🙏❤️
Well, I learned something today. I didn’t know oxen were shoed like horses and mules. Thanks for ‘learning’ me stuff, Donnie. Stay safe on those steep ridges and God Bless you.
The weather finally gave you a break, it’s good to see you back on the ridges.
