Finding America

Finding America

FAMILY FRIENDLY CHANNEL! I love Finding America's lost treasures in the ground with my metal detector! I've been metal detecting the past 44 years, since the age of 11, and have hunted while living in Arizona, Germany, Ohio, Maryland, Florida and my present home of the last sixteen years in East Tennessee. No matter how long I have hunted, I always learn something new from others or each time I go out and often find something I have never found before. I love this country, it's history and researching the history of the items I find for the stories they have to tell. It is an absolutely amazing hobby and I hope to relay that with my channel and videos. I hope you enjoy my videos and if you do, please consider subscribing to Finding America.

    Greg, absolutely loved all of the kids toys. My brothers played with their toy guns out in the yard all the time, many years ago. Very nice finds. As always you represent your channel so well. Happy Independence Day.👏👍😀🇺🇸

    When I would hunt in rock hard soil, after I made the initial plug, if it was still in the hole, I would use a very stout, long shaft, slotted screwdriver to break up the dirt, was much easier to dig without damaging the target, Also works very well in gravely areas.

    I was playing that song in my head as soon as the words were out of your mouth, and then you said you were thinking of an 80's song😂

    I like thinking about all the people who held the stuff I dig up and how many generations went through old houses/places .like you say stepping back in time

    Hey I keep most of my trash too. Speaking of Dr Pepper.....I dug up a complete Dr Pepper can that said "be a Pepper" on it. Found out it was from the early 80s. I still have it. Lol. I found such similar stuff in my yard as you did there. The wheaties, toy cars, cap gun parts. Who knows what else I could find if I had a new detector. And yeah.....it's hot here too. 97⁰ right now. And the British penny was cool. 1936 I think was the first year for George VI.

    Nice work Greg!! Ford man huh? I’ve owned a few ford trucks which I loved but never cared for their cars too much. I was a GM guy for years, my first car was a 1966 Pontiac GTO that I paid $500 for and fully restored, drove through high school and sold in my early 20’s and I wish I never did. I also restored a 1964 Chevy C-20 283 4 speed, wish I still had that beast too. Any way, I got hooked on hemi’s and remain a MOPAR guy ( Mostly Old Parts and Rust) 😂 keep at it and tell Chris to get out more. ATB- Bob

    "Cap guns, racecars and cool bikes"... Greg, we had the same childhood 😂! This episode gave me the idea to reach out to the owner of my childhood home. I'm the last of 6-kids and we basically lived in our backyard. We had lots of neighborhood kids that also considered our yard as their personal playground. I can only imagine what might still be left behind in the dirt. Wish me luck getting the permission. Excellent video!

    Lots of varied history today. (I'm sure there will be folks out here who would not agree with you about those good old days. I would agree that there were aspects of my childhood ---in the 50s---that were great, but...)

    There has never been a period in US history that is without its own problems but compared to what we are experiencing now, any period before the early 2000's, in my opinion, could legitimately be considered the good old days. I can say with 100% certainty that I would rather raise kids in the times in which we grew up rather than today. Thanks as always for watching Alana. ATB Greg

    Bo oh boy, Greg…I always enjoy your videos. I’ve learned SO much from you in the last 2 years of my initial metal detecting adventure. Thanks! You’ve helped me identify many things I’d dug, but had no idea of their use. You, like me, seem to enjoy more than just finding coins! And this video is no exception. Early in the video, you found a lead object that had imprinted patters in it that *may* have been from the jaws of a shop Vice. Just a guess. Have a great day, and stay close to an A/C unit!!!
