I noticed that a lot of people are hating on this guys video. Honestly, this is what life is about. It's about enjoying the little things, exploring, and fueling the inner child in all of us. If he chooses to do this with his time then that is his own fucking choice. What difference does it make to your life that he chooses his time exploring? It doesn't, so maybe you're just upset that you aren't so easily satisfied with the simple things in life.

Why cant more kids be like this, all i ever hear them say is "im bored, theres nothing to do" give this guy a shovel and somewhere to dig and he's happier then all hell.

I'm in my 70's now and have been detecting since I was 25, way back when we used BFO's, (Beat Frequency Oscillation). One could not discriminate with this type of detector so we had to dig every signal, pulltabs were a bitch in those days. Nuggetnoggon here reminds me of my turf scratching days of dirty fingers, poison ivy, cuts, and insect bites, but most of all the thrill of the hunt. I could write a good sized book about my finds and places I've hunted from Canada, Cape Cod down to Florida and Texas. This hobby is good clean fun where you can meet life long friends, plus the exercise and fresh air is good for you. Don't get me wrong, I didn't get to all those places because I had lots of money, my job took me there and in any spare time this hobby helped me to relax. I just bought my great grandson his first Bounty Hunter Jr. to get him started and you should have seen his face when he found his first penny in his yard down about 3 in's, a wheaty by the way. So all you haters or so called trolls, don't hate get out in the fresh air. You won't get rich with this hobby, buy you will have a heck of a lot of fun.

I just had to pause this at 6:19 for a minute to write this comment, first off, you are completely adorable, your father must be so proud of you!! Im so impressed with your sense of value for these amazing artifacts! Most teens wouldn't think twice or care about the value & importance of things like this!! Congratulations on such a treasure trove! Im certain your destined for even greater finds in time to come!! You have totally intrigued my interest back for finding these wonderful things!! Your parents are without a doubt so very proud of you! I wish you the best of everything in life & I really hope to see many more of your treasure hunting videos!! What a gem you are as well!! Take care!

This kid is great. He's outside enjoying himself. He is not on the computer playing games. He might be wasting his time but he is young and it's his time to waste. The people who are critical of him are just jealous of his joy.

When my cousins and I were young, my grandparents had a farm, but by the time we came along they had leased out all of the fields to a local sod farming company. Each spring the company would come and till up the soil and some of my fondest memories would be of my grandparents taking us back to the site of an old house that had burned down about 100 years before and we'd go 'treasure hunting'. Each year when the soil was tilled, we would find pieces of broken plates and buttons and all kinds of things that most of the people on here would call 'junk', but it was treasure to us. We've still got tin containers full of our finds. Just like everything in life, it's all about what you make of it. I bet you had a lot of fun that day, and you found some really neat things. Don't let some of these folks get you down... until they find their own 'treasure', they'll never fully understand how the fun of discovering a little bits of the past can feel so rewarding. Happy hunting!

Love the fact that he's out doing something he seems really passionate about and not sitting in front of a computer like most young folks these days! Very refreshing and I love his accent!

I saw a coin at about two o'clock on 2:24. By the way, your young and you won't have a problem for awhile, but you should at least wear a mask while digging these old houses. Rat, mice and other rodents dropping are very noxious. Be careful, it will catch up to you later, I know from first hand experience as a contractor remodeling many old places.

that indian point is really nice,i live in St. Augustine Florida and find Native pots and points a lot,makes my heart soar to hold something that was made so long ago.some of my pots probably haven't been touche by hands in 3000 years or more,the pottery shards with finger prints are my very favorite,gives me a personal connection with a man or woman that lived so very long ago,great feeling.

Noggin, Enjoy your videos and appreciate your descriptions and especially the fact that you speak without profanity. You're one of a kind young man. Keep it up !

I enjoy your videos kid, your Dad brought you up well. Your appreciation for long lost quality made artifacts and bring them back to modern day life so we can reobserve how our Grandfathers and Great great Grandfathers used to do things brings me at least, sweet memorys back to the present. Thankyou and thankyou too Abby for supporting him! Keep it up!!

Back in the 70s, me and a friend of mine were in an abandoned wrecking yard of old cars dating from the 60s on back into the 30s. Looking at a rusted thru quarter panel on a 50s car, I noticed some coins. Opened the deck lid and began scooping along that inner panel and found a hoard of wheatback pennies. About 1000 in total. We split the find and after all this time, I still have those pennies in my ole collection.

Your enthusiasm is addictive. Great honey hole! Happy hunting and keep the videos coming. The people that make negative comments are just jealous or don't have any sense of adventure beyond sitting at their desk 24x7 watching KZfaq videos. We need more people like you! Keep up the fun and excitement and can't wait for your next video!

That little Scottie dog looks like a Monopoly game piece from the 1930s. Great finds!

Just wanted to say that you are a breath of fresh air compared to other young folks, who can't hear or see because they're tuned into fiction/fighting video games. Your dig on the "old schoolhouse" caught me up in your excitement so I searched for more of your videos. Since then I have liked and subscribed to your channel, and look forward to seeing more. Please..... don't even respond to the nay-sayers! You'd be wasting your time on those FEW people. It's likely that they don't understand what having a hobby is, and they're kids are probably sitting in the background playing those time-wasting videos.

Aloha from the tropical island of Oahu . I just want to truly to thank you for the true fun in your voice as you and your Dad spend time together in a good time! where many people realy do, not know there Dad or there son, May God bless you and the may your wrods bless others ! Enjoy your digs Mahalo and Aloha.

Wow! A normal kid, i didn't think there were any of ya'll left.

A musket ball and an indian arrowhead dug out from the same spot: American history 101 right there. For me that's the coolest find. Kid, keep doing what you're doing because is way better than hanging in a parking lot with 5 morons, sipping beer, farting and burping. Thumbs up, kid!

your enthusiasm and love of the old stuff is just so wonderful to watch. Keep on doing it, keep up your love of old history.

Hey Nugget, just wanted to say I enjoy watching all your videos. It is nice to see and hear how happy you sound when you find something. Even all those fisher sinkers. Don't listen to all those mean hateful and people and there negative comments. It just shows they are miserable people. Keep those videos coming. And God bless you young man ! ;o)

That's good to see . A regular teen digging out there instead of lying at home playing video games and getting fat. Keep it up, that's the way to go.

Throughout this, all I kept thinking about was every time somebody accidentally dropped one of these items and it bounced away into the crack. You figure some of those coins were a much more painful loss at the time for the value they would have had then.

who else saw the coin at 2:24 (in the middle)

Here I am Nugget, July 2018, and I'm still in awe of your wonderful enthusiasm and genuine interest in a Time now gone, but not forgotten - and what a special quality that was and is! I hope you ignore the nay-sayers! Hope there are still places remaining like this for you to discover and share with us. :)

Evidently you're excited, and I think it's exciting as well. That's really some great finds. Hobby or employment, you're obviously enjoying yourself, so keep it up, have fun.

Wow dude! You are so smart, you really know a lot and you're good at this! Such dedication to doing this, I like it! Keep it up, I hope you find many more cool things in the future!

This is probably my favorite All-Time video from the NUG MAN. Nobody better than Michael "Nugget noggin" Bennett. This is legendary!

you sound so excited..... lolol is so refreshing. I love it when people find some thing that strikes there interest.

Very nice finds, bro! Don't let em give ya shit. Country boys will survive! :)

First second I saw the elephant, I said, "Jade." This was a very good haul! Glad to see that you had so much fun doing what you love. I made a big coin haul in the mountains of east Tennessee in 2013, I know how you felt finding that stuff. Best wishes.

smiling!!! I like this young man's ENERGY!!!

OH NO HE HAS A CONFEDERATE FLAG ON HIS SHOVEL!@!@ EVERYONE FREAK OUT!

I'd bet you that the green "glass" elephant is not glass but possibly Jade! Check it out and let me know Bro....

You missed a coin @2:25

Hey nuggetnoggin, I just wanted to say great job on all of your videos and thank you for being a wholesome guy with great values. I’ve found interest in detecting by watching your videos. God bless brother! Keep up the great work!

Really enjoy your posts!! Our house was built in 1855, in the heart of the "California Mother Lode". Only 4 families have occupied the home since it was built (ours being the 4th!!). Lordy May, the great stuff we have found! Everyday is Christmas!

Thanks for posting these videos. I find them quite interesting. I'm not able to go on adventures myself, so you provide a valuable service for folks like me.

LOVE your enthusiasm! Great finds.

Dear nuggetnoggin, I hope you read this . I have to let you know how much i appreciate how you present your video's. I appreciate that you take the time to show each piece,you have a steady hand and a decent camera. One may call you an "amature" but you/re really a Professional Amature. Thank You,Great Video's...Littlefeet keep at it ?...have fun digging !

hey nuggetnoggin, I remember being really into coin collecting when I was younger and watching this video when I was in 5th grade. That was 9 years ago believe it or not, but to this day still remember how excited this video made me feel then. I come back now and then to try and feel that again. Thanks man, I really appreciate it.

i saw a coin on 2:25 and he is just like:lots of junk in here!

5:23 He's digging up a body. LOL

Crazy. Each one of those little trinkets has a story and history.

I love how you appreciate your finds

Omg!? I'm addicted to watching your adventures!!! ... And a touch jealous ;) What. Wonderful person you are & so friendly & obviously LOVE your hobby. I love it. What's interesting is everyone has there own OMG look at that moment on different finds .. Like I was loving the coins and such but the buttons!!! And the little Scottie dog piece & the arrow head & other stuff took my attention. I was just thinking about what I like not value though. Anyway. So glad to have found your channel.. I've a lot to catch up on :) Stay safe, and keep on keeping on ;)

I love your videos! What a fun hobby. Hope you find your treasure some day. God bless!

I would say this young man is from the South. He's digging up the past and enjoying his freedom to do so! Thanks for the video's!

Can't imagine any young people I know getting as excited finding such a small amount of money! Losing a sense of wonder at such a young age is absolutely there loss and what makes this young man so remarkable.

right before you said theres the a lot of junk in there you pushed away a coin at about 2:26

the elephant is jade not glass

My family collected coins in '50s. Amazing variety of coins you could get just in ordinary change. Coins from the 1880s, half dollars; people would even buy things with Peace dollars. Sometimes we would get a Morgan dollar. Then, in the 60s, everything collapsed. Got nothing in change after about 1965. Just Lincoln pennies, Roosevelt dimes, Jefferson nickels and Washington Head quarters. The last time I remember getting anything was in Woolworths. I saw in the register a couple of silver half dollars and asked the girl if I could give her a dollar for both. She said, "I'll split it with you." So she got one of them.

grew up watching this dude, lol so nostalgic watching this in 2023.

favorite episode!!!

Ignore the haters. You are awesome and I love that you are interested in old coins and artifacts. Keep at it. :-)

That dog next to the elephant in the end was a monopoly piece and Worth a LOT OF MONEy

I honestly would love to go digging for this kind of stuff...its so interesting

That Native American arrow head is worth$$$$$$$$

Coin in dirt at 2:24

I just wanted to tell you to keep up the good work. As a fellow detectorist i enjoy watching other people find things even when i rarely doe. Your videos are enjoyable to watch and makes me want to get out and find some treasure myself. GOOD JOB!!!

Hello, That's a lot of staffs you found. It's crazy. Never a lot like that. Very nice vidéo. Thank you for this one. Bye Chris.

Anyone else see that coin at 2:23 that he missed? *EDIT* Nevermind someone already said this.

Wow, it's sad for people to call these guy names, how sad this world is to judge someone who is having fun.

This kid is very knowledgeable and obviously respects history. Great finds!

why do people come on here and hate? this guy is obviously having a really good time. he's enjoying life.

I think it's pretty cool man.

This looks like the beginning of a horror story.

You must have liked Easter egg hunts as a kid. I bet all the dirt fishers liked Easter Egg hunting.

I am an avid metal detector user and treasure hunter. I really enjoy your exceptionally shot video hunts. Great work and keep it up!

Good video as always.

man, that is some cool stuff, I have all kinds of places around where I live that I can do this stuff, unfortunately I can't afford a metal detector. What is the oldest, and the coolest piece you found?

it makes sense the marbles would be there because kids were there and in the 30s marbles were the most popular game kids played and they wouldn't wear away so they would be there. I saw some more valuable ones in the mix. good finds

I liked the little green elephant. I'm a plumber and I always find some cool shit when digging in people's yards. Keep up the underrated hobbie.

Really cool video. Which state was this vid filmed in ?

PLEASE keep detailed record of your finds. I am an Archaeologist and I will gladly help you figure out mapping. Draw a scale diagram of the house, mark the 4 directions, grid out the house and lable every square like a cartesian grid. Start in the Southwest corner and dig. A good provenience would be thus: In the southwest corner of the southwest corner, of unit 1A (Transect 1 Unit A), 2.5 cm below datum (the level you deem the ground) 1 small pencil nub, 2 clay marbles...) . Draw in the find and bag it. When you are done you have an AWESOME map of every little find. This allows you to determine everything you ever wanted to know and even some things you don't. It is possible to figure out where the teacher sat, where lunch was eaten, where there was a hole in a floor board, even how long the school operated! If the collection changes hands it carries the provenience with it and is more than a pretty thing that got dug up somewhere in Ohio for example. Just a few minutes with a compass, measuring tape, string and line level will make you feel professional. If you make it that far I will show you how to find the exact coordinates of the property you dug.

I’m rewatching all these videos again I watched them all as a kid and now I’m back almost 20 years old love to see that your still uploading keep up the good work brotha love your videos

This is one of the neatest things to watch on You Tube! Really enjoying the treasure hunt. I feel like I'm right there too. Thanks for posting!! Keep hunting for treasure and I'll keep watching your adventure unfold. So much fun.

Was the elephant jade ? It looked it, but you said glass.

Did I miss the "huge coin spill" ....????

have you ever had things appraised? what's the most valuable thing you've ever found. it's refreshing to see a young man who has your love for old things and the people who lived before us. and I'm really impressed by your faith and willingness to share it. God bless you.

Thank you for sharing your hobby with us. I really enjoy experiencing your adventures. Please continue to post them.

I think that the elephant is made from jade not glass

I'm not a American, but I guess this guy is using southern states accent, right?

DUUDEE I first saw this video back in 2013 through my recommendations, and I watched your videos for the longest time. I saw an old, rusty coin and reminded me of you. I decided to look back at your channel, and it’s crazy to see how far you’ve come.

Here I am fascinated with your channel, that loving boy and so passionate with what you do, that is contagious. From Argentina admiring you, you are a being full of light. In 2013 and now.

people are so ignorant these days he does it for fun and makes alot of money also you know you can exit out of the video if you dont like it geese there needs to be a tutorial called ''HOW TO NOT BE IGNORANT IN 100 WAYS''

3:00 there was another coin and u just brushed it off

I've wanted a metal detector for most of my long life.....I'm putting it #1 on my birthday list this year. you've inspired me!!! Lordy, you sound like you're having so much fun! treasure hunting!

I agree. He's having fun. That's what really matters.

i saw a coin at 1:38

that dog is from monopoly isnt it?

You might be right about the buttons at 07:00. They do look like vintage USN peacoat buttons. Today, ours have large plastic anchor buttons, but those old brass ones are from probably before the middle of the century.

my mom's backyard was used as a junk yard by my brother,to make a long story short we cleaned up the yard a few years ago and when my grandchildren came to visit and would be outside playing they would come running in to the house and tell me they found treasure which i knew to be junk but to a 4 and 5 year old they found treasure ( old sparkplug, piece of wire,bottlecap) allways when it rained new stuff came to the surface. i would go outside with them and we all looked for such treasure but the best treasure of all was the look on there face when they found something and the quallity time i got to spend with them.like the ole saying another mans treasure is another mans junk ! for me the look on my grandchildrens faces priceless....

any advice on how to clean old coins?

you should go to college and study archeology

This kid is going too end up rich. What he has found adds up in time. He's cool and smart.

Love your videos!! your enthusiasm is contagious

I saw a confederate flag 😃

Yall Judge Too Much. He Can do what ever he wants with his items. His choices. Yall need to grow up. I support the Confederate Flag as my Forefathers have. Great video Nuggit. I Enjoy Them. :)

It makes me smile how excited he gets every time he finds something in the dirt :)

I wish I could be out there digging in the dirt with you. I've collected old bottles since I was really young. Those are awesome coins you found. I don't understand why, I was as excited as you were! perfect video capture & length.
