Metal Detecting the hills of NE Iowa

Metal Detecting the hills of NE Iowa

Went to an old picnic area that I’ve had some luck at before. I was able to squeak out a few targets my brother and I have both missed in the past. This spot is so beautiful that even if I don’t find anything its just a nice place to spend some time. Thanks for stopping by, watching and hopefully leaving a comment and thumbs up. I really appreciate it. Good Luck, Happy Hunting and Take Care.

    Great hunting, I like 5he old compacts and random old pieces of copper or brass, you know they had a purpose long ago. Nice silvers too, I’m still looking for my first Barber anything

    That was a nice collection of coins and artifacts! It’s finally raining here for the first time in ages, so I’m hopeful I can finally get out and spend an hour in the dirt here and there. It’s been so long since I’ve dug I’m getting the shakes! Thanks for the video, Shawn!

  19. Aloha Stacker on July 11, 2023 at 10:10 am

    Great hunt! It’s so cool how much silver you find… I need to pull my detector out and go for a test run at the beach and see what I can find…

  20. Iron Horse Garage on July 11, 2023 at 10:10 am

    I believe the round piece with the 3 triangle pieces sticking up is a pump or motor coupler. Very cool!! I’ve never seen one of those handheld finders before!!

  21. Long Islands Hardcore Detectorist on July 11, 2023 at 10:11 am

    You found some treasures the 1928 mercury Dime is in great condition.

  32. Park Rat Metal Detecting on July 11, 2023 at 10:17 am

    Outstanding hunt Shawn, I’d love a haul like that.

  33. Paul Callicoat on July 11, 2023 at 10:18 am

    I hate the smell of OFF so I take a couple cloves of garlic and blend them up in some water. I then strain the chunks out and put the water in a spray bottle. Put in on like you would for OFF and the smell goes away pretty fast but the mossy’s hate that smell so keep away. Maybe some people can smell it but I can’t detect it within minutes. Where you live the mosquitoes are numerous and big.Where I live they are smaller but can be annoying.Some claim that if you eat a lot of garlic you will repel them but if I ate that much I can’t sleep as it makes me sweat and I keep breaking out in opera singing and craving pizza and wine.

  34. Treasure Rangers Saving History on July 11, 2023 at 10:19 am

  36. MD MELBOURNE on July 11, 2023 at 10:20 am

    Great hunt Shawn, I’m beginning to think those big silver’s are long gone, but the dimes are still available,
    I’m only managing to find the little 3 pence here too, about the same size as your dimes,
    nice research on the bird tag,
    I didn’t know all that information would have been available,
    Thanks for sharing mate ATB GL&HH Jim ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

  37. DEPTHSPADER on July 11, 2023 at 10:21 am
