Great recoveries, Greg. 😊 I think the old Washington quarters with the eagle on the reverse are one of the most beautiful examples of American money in our short history. But then again, I like all of our designs. 🥰 I look forward to next week.

Thanks Andrea and I'm happy to see an eagle back quarter in the hole nowadays. I like it much more than all these state and commemorative quarters that keep coming out. Appreciate you watching this one! ATB Greg

In the late '60s I lived in Altoona, Pa., home of the Horseshoe Curve for the coal trains that were hundreds of cars long to navigate the grade, so that snap button took me back to some old memories. Love seeing what you snake out of those hard-hit grounds with that Manticore. Always enlightening and entertaining. Keep on digging!

@@FindingAmerica Ordered and just received the M8 coil. Your videos helped with the decision. I’ve got the Equinox with the 6” and the 15”, but at 72 I’m worn out after a few hours on the 15”. I’ve found that the 11” is great for most times and when you are needing to snipe that the 6” has been a godsend. I’m hoping for the same great results with the M8. Did you get an extra lower shaft for your other coils? I did that with the Equinox and see an even greater need in the manticore with the lack of a nut to keep the bolt on the shaft until you need it.

@FindingAmerica

3 ай бұрын

I know you will enjoy using that M8 coil! No, the coils are very easy to swap out on the Manticore so I haven't bought any extra lower shafts. I know what you're saying about the bolt being loose until you need it to install the coil, I just decided to keep the bolts in a zip lock baggie in my backpack until I need them. I'm probably going to try to get a few extra bolts just in case...@@MountainrunnerTn

Hi Greg & Jason , well it's true what they say a place is never hunted out and you have just proved it by unearthing yet more good finds from one of your permissions , a good selection of finds and my favourite is the silver plated spoon with the college name on it a great piece of history , nice video my friend ATB Rob .

It's always nice to find a nice old piece that ties directly to the site you're searching. Appreciate you watching and look forward to your next outing my friend! ATB Greg

Greg, the manticore is a magical detector for you. Proof in revisiting a location for six years and finding more treasures. My favorite was the embossed spoon and silver quarter and wheat cent. Nice Jason hooked up, always fun when you have a friend to share in excitement finds. ATB.👏👍😀

7:04 looked like there was a marble in with that quarter

Another great video, Greg. The menthol inhaler caught my attention as soon as you zoomed in. Vincennes (Vin*sins), IN, is situated along the Wabash River about 30 minutes from me. It was the home of Fort Sackville, which the British surrendered to the U.S. in 1779 to George Rogers Clark. President William Henry Harrison also resided in Vincennes during his tenure as Governor of the Northwest Territory. Unfortunately, for those of us in the area, the historical areas are federal and not open to metal detecting.

When I saw the film, I discovered it was inspired by a book called Bid Time Return, so I found a copy & read it. Still love it. The original story was set at Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego, with the character setting off for an entirely different reason. I hope you're a reader & are interested in seeking out that story. If you do, I hope you'll be haunted by the ending as much as it still haunts me after all these years. and whenever I hear the theme song, I'm always transported back there. And when I saw that ring come up, I knew the maker! I'm glad it contained real diamonds!

The screw cap you found with the silver quarter is the cap for a replaceable link fuse. One on each end and a link would slide into the cylinder and the ends bent over and the screw caps on each end would hold the link in place and the caps actually are what makes contact in the fuse block.

This is relaxing to watch just like Green Mountain Metal Detecting. You're videos calm me down. And ya never know, there could be rolled up $100 bills inside that menthol tube. Lol. So I take it that was like the vape back in the day. Interesting. I love finding coins, but sometimes it's the things like that, that are more interesting. And most detectorists don't care about wheaties or Washingtons, BUT there are rare ones. I see those wheat stalks.....I say heck yeah! Those cash coins are cool. I have many. I believe the ones with the thinner rims are very early ones. The earliest ones dont have any rim. Takes forever to identify them cuz theres soooo many different types.

Hey Greg. I watched your hunt earlier today and wow really liked those cool looking coins and relics.

Thanks Doug and I have been collecting them for a long while. People have given me old photos, I've purchased them at estate sales and also subscribe to various sites for them as well.

I recall reading that Chinese Cash coins were considered a kind of good luck charm, so maybe that's why they are found all over America and indeed Europe. Plus they were exotic souvenirs of a place that was considered exotic and mysterious a century ago -- like owning a piece of meteorite or a shark's tooth today?
