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.

Hi Shawn , a good selection of finds my friend and i see the silver is a little elusive but i am sure you will be digging some up soon , anyway another good video mate and you keep up the good work , stay safe ATB Rob .
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
Nice finds mate 🙂
That was a good hunt, great job on the silver, nice belt buckle. What was the VDI on the bird band?
Nice digging there Shawn ! You were very bust for sure and scored on some silver too. Congrats on the finds buddy 🙂 ATB – David
Top hunt brother i have yet to get bk out metaldetecting hioeing this week i might try and get out keep up the hunt brother and see you at the next 👍
Awesome compact and silver dimes! It’s always fun finding those mason jar lids with the porcelain inserts. Thanks for sharing, take care and keep happy
Great Coin Haul! I thought that bird band was pretty neat that you could look up the information on it. Great episode!
Blessings to you my friend! 🙏🏼💜 Mercs are my fav so I’m a little jealous 😂 Great hunt and congratulations!!! 😀
Great episode 🙂
So many great relics and Mercury dimes. Nice barber dime also. The compact is way cool. The cowboy buckle is a fun find. Enjoyed watching ! Happy Hunting 😊
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!
Silver, Silver and more silver ! That ring is just in time for Halloween lol 👻👻
Congrats on the silvers!!! ATB! Paul
Hello, super.
3 mercs and a Barber… thats is what I am talking about…
Wow. GREAT hunts! Love the silver dimes.
Wow, Congrats on all the silver Shawn. Up on top of that hill is a beautiful place to detect. I have dug the same junk ring that you did, lol On to the next beep.
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…
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!!
Great hunt bud 👍🏼 that’s a nice haul. Love to see those Barber Dimes pop out of the ground
👍
Not bad not bad at all, congrats on the 3 winged liberties, and the Barber, thanks for sharing and keep diggin.
Brother, if I ever make it to NE Iowa you have to take me out detecting. I have family that live in Central Iowa.
Looks like you had a productive hunt or two!!! Always great to see you find something because all I ever found was irritation…. But I think the highlight beside the Barber and Mercs….. you found part of a Whatsahoosy!!!! That’s Awesome!!! Thanks for Sharing and I can’t wait to see what the next hunt brings
Wow! Nice place for detecting 🤩👍🏼 Looks very interesting 👍🏼
Like a good fishing trip well done
Love it buddy….love it!
Cool 2 merk!! 😁
4 silver richer, great 🙂
You found some treasures the 1928 mercury Dime is in great condition.
Outstanding hunt Shawn, I’d love a haul like that.
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.
great day you had Clayton 3 mercy and a barber sweet finds. and like your bird tag not like ours much better looking. ATB Jamie 🙂👍
Awesome hunt, Shawn, gotta love those silvers! The compact was a sweet find!💖
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 👊👍🍻
Nice silvers. I use those bird tags as marble stands for displays. ATB 👍👍
Wow 😯 great finds. Congratulations on your silver scores. I hope one day to find my first silver 🤞. Thank you for sharing I hope you have a great week
Keep Digging
Best wishes
Woohoo There’s Silver in them hills.
That was a great little hunt. Some interesting and cool finds.
When you least expect it you come across "that" spot lol. Good job Shawn! Congrats on the silvers!! Love those old brass spigots & valves. Stay safe and all the best brother!
Awesome hunt brother. You were on the mercs. Barber to go along with it ain’t bad either. Really like the bird band. Take care.
