What an awesome hunt, I was digging down there the day he was found guilty. Passed by the courthouse that evening and it looked like a block party was going on with all the news crews. Fantastic video!

@RonSwensonRelicAdventures Жыл бұрын

Hey Jake That 3 center and the 1753 were found literally minutes before the verdict. After finding the 1753 the owner called me in for another beer and I watched the verdict live with him and his buddies in the "garage" on the plantation. Was crazy as they all knew him personally. That experience with the owner and his buddies was very cool. Then a few more beers and eventually I sat in the main plantation house with them all for dinner! Made my trip!

RON, I do metal detecting some now and then. I have an old Garrett 250. It doesn’t have the number screen to help identify the hit. Could you tell me what detector you use? I love your video and just subscribed. Thanks.

@RonSwensonRelicAdventures 8 ай бұрын

Hey Gary. Thanks for stopping by and hitting the sub button. I currently use the XP Deus 2. A bit on the upper end but a great machine. The 250 will find a few goodies for you it will struggle to get much past 4-5 inches. The 150-250 are entry level machine. A great machine to determine if you are hooked. Once hooked on the on the hobby I would suggest an upgrade If you want to stick with Garrett then maybe an AT Pro or AT Max. The Simplex is a decent machine for the price point. The new Minelab Xterra keeps you around a few hundred bucks. Or go all in and get a Deus or Deus 2 Good luck and thanks again!!

Thank you for stopping by and thank you for the view and the comment. You live in a hotbed of activity. Anywhere around that you can get permission is going to be good. Just speak with friends and family and see if you can get permission and then begin to net work, and wherever you can get permission is a good spot.

Lifetime local from James Island. What was the age of the small buckle found right before 11.37 of your video and at 16.37? They look Identical and Identical to one I found at a colonial home site.

@RonSwensonRelicAdventures Жыл бұрын

Hey George, I appreciate you stopping by and for the comment and question. Didn't mean to delay the response to your question but wanted to double check a reference book. I cant say with 100% certainty, but I believe these to be pretty accurate to the date of the plantation we are on and would put these buckles in the late 1750's -Early 1800's. hard to say when they were lost but like coins these items can hang around for a long time before being lost. Thanks again for the view and comment.
