the dog was cool ya got to remember your a guest at his home so a little inconvenience is worth it to find treasure.

I felt like sharing what I have learned thru the years..Let me know hat you think on hunting old farm houses. Tip.. what I've learned in 14 years about hunting old farm houses is a lot. I belonged to the local Historical Society for several years also (suggest joining yours in your county) and belonged to 3 hunting clubs for 7 years. But just the short of it is ....The first place you always search the most throughly is the front yard and all areas considered and associated with the front. If there are farmed field next to the house..the family would dump house trash at times into the field know that the next plowing would bury the trash.. thats why so many relics are found in corn fields! lol Men working in the back and in the fields didn't carry much money or none at all wearing work cloths. Money was lost in a number of odd ways in the fields of young wheat, hay, alfalfa, flak, barley, oats, milo and other various soft long stemmed grains. Coins lost by the teen girls and boys taking blankets and such and laying it down of the green soft plants...well out of site of the elders. lol Women wore dresses for the most part and did not carry money while in the back yard doing the wash and other chores unless taking their money out to bury in between the cloth line poles stashed a few inches below ground level in a mason jar or metal box. That way while she was in the kitchen most of the day she could keep an eye on her money out the back kitchen window. Kids always played ball and stuff in the front yard and on the sides of the house losing whatever small change they felt cool carrying about. So most money and lost artifacts are found in the front and side yards near the front. People of course spent most of the summer evenings in the front yard... because of boredom they sat on the porch waiting for neighbors to pass by and ones would stop and chat standing around by the porch front drive, under a big tree or out by the street edge or areas to stay out of the sun on hot days. That's why big oaks were always planted in front yards and along streets so people walking far or in their buggies could stay as cool as possible along their journeys They would stop half way to town and sit and cool horses down under these tree in the middle of nowhere but planted there on purpose. ..So check under these wayward trees out in no mans land..... Sundays people would always invite family and folks over after church and maybe for dinner...usually dressed in their finest and carrying coins. There are many small gold coin denominations that are never found because they are almost impossible to detect at 5" or more deep and if you do hear them they are weak and sound like most of the shit.. It pays to have a Gold Bug to go over hunted out farm house sites and parks for rings and coins.. it detects silver also!. Dining rooms were small for large groups. Most eating on hot summer days were done outside on the east side of the houses to be the coolest and out of the sun. People on Sundays and Saturdays carried money because those again were shopping days, church and socializing with neighbors. People coming to socialize on weekends were carrying money, pocket watches...basically wearing their best of everything and jewelry. They had sickles to cut the grass or weeds and lawns were usually 3-5 " long and when something was dropped ...it was out of site! Again they would socialize in the front yards not the back as people do today and from the 40's on. Before the 40's the front yard was the place to be. The front yard grass and flowers were kept up somewhat for entertaining while the back was usually way overgrown and heaps of garbage and had the stinking out house, stinky chicken coops, stinking cows and stinking pigs. Can you imagine the smell on a hot humid day in the back! lol Quick tip 2 and 3! With no air conditioning and no breeze on a hot day it was fashionable to open a window and sit on the window pane.. money dropped out of pockets as did jewelry off of wrists and necks along with other items like spoons, forks, pocket watches etc. Check the ground 3 feet all around the homes very well in this case. Number 3.. the cloth-line... The sun comes up from east to west...So cloths had the longest amount of time to dry if mom hung the on a line from a pole east and the other directly to the west in an open area that she could watch from the kitchen window making sure that the goats and dogs did not get into her clean cloths. while the sheets were hung she would go out in the middle of the hanging sheets where no one could see her and add coins to her buried jar of money. Find where the back window of the kitchen would be and try to imagine where mom would have had the clothing within a short distance form the back door. If you find coins say 30 feet or so from the back of the house draw an imaginary line east and west and detect in a strait line in either direction swinging 3 feet to the north to 3 feet to the south and hope fully you find a long line of coins that have fallen out of clean cloths when she hung the pants over the lines. If you cant come up with more coins after the first one...search in a spiral until you find another coin and repeat this process. Trees a hundred feet or so in either direction of the cloths line would have been cut down for the most amount of sun to be gotten..especially in winter. This was crucial to the family warmth and health to have dry cloths the next day to wear. The cloth line would have been mostly in the spot for many decades.... means many coins! Quit tip #4.. people did not really use banks until the late 30's to save their money.. they did not trust banks, If they got robbed they lost their money..if bank bellied up which many did they lost their money so grampa, gramma, dad, mom, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles ALL buried their money in secret stashes out somewhere on the property without telling a soul where they buried it ..maybe 3-7 inches only under the ground..just out of site since there were no metal detectors and they did not have to dig dig every week or so to add or take money out of their jar or box of metal lids or full metal construction. Dad worked hard and was not in the house until nightfall.. had dinner, washed up, smoked a few pipefuls and went to bed looking out his bedroom window in sight of the spot he buries the majority of the houses income! If you have an erected old farm house and know where the bedroom is for the father, detect all over while keeping his bedroom window in clear site!!! when he got up in the middle of the night from say any noise he ran to his window to see if someone was digging around for his money. Thieves know this back then because most every man buried his money in site of his window. Grampas liked to bury their money where it was easy not to forget when your old. Main places would be next to a fence line like next to the 4th fence pole down from the barn or way in the back five feet out from the trunk under a large branch on the oak tree, ...Or under the big rock in the back 40... just under the side of the rock on a 45 degree angle...so detect big rock bases with your coil on a 45 degree angle. Think where you would bury your money being and old man and old lady. Grampas had a lot of old coins save thru their lives. And when the old got sick.. from lack of modern medicine they died often in 3 days and were delirious up to death and could never give the right directions where their money was or died to quickly to tell anyone. I have no idea where gramma buried hers .lol Probably together with grampas!

Good ol' Detectin'- beats chasing tail.

So many good things to say about this video Mowerdog! I loved watching every minute of it. When you hit that seated the sound said it all! No numbers required. I was detecting a farm house once and their dog was following me around and every time I cut a plug the dog would lay on the hole. I would have to literally move the dog just to dig up the coins! Best wishes and HH, Dave.

Thanks Mowerdog that was mighty fun, take care

This puppy is too cute. He just wants some attention. He way want to help dig those holes too.

Awee the puppy just wanted to help!!! My dog helps me dig for the finds!

Awesome finds! I look forward to your followup trips! I bet there is more there! GL and HH!

Ingenious. Great tips. Thanks for sharing.

Great finds!

GREAT catch on the seated Mower!! Killer site!!

Great site and great finds! Enjoyed the vid!

Love your videos Mower -- great stuff.

Great finds, the silver seated dime in the same hole as the nails was an awesome job by the e-trac. That was a very friendly but apparently lonely dog. Thanks for sharing the hunt.

Great finds, you should of let the dog do the digging for you..LOL liked the seated coin, very nice, I use the Etrac over here in the UK, recently found my first hammered coin, 1564 Queen Elizabeth 1st silver sixpence. I like the flexible camera mount, just ordered one of Amazon. GL & HH take care my friend Tom

Wow! That was an exciting hunt.

fascinating to watch and very interesting things you found ,time we'll spent there ,you was doing that dogs favourite thing ,digging holes in the lawn ,no wonder he wanted to be your friend, he was gorgeous.

Yep👊🏻. E trac is a Beast on silver ! Even with rusty nails. Since 08'---- 784 silver coins. Including 16 so far this yr. 176 silvers in 2012. Waiting patiently for the water to warm up so the wife and i can put the Excal and her At pro to work for more gold rings. 10 rings September-October 2015. Btw.. Big congrats on the seated dime. Gotta be more like that at your farm house site.

I like the long videos not bore good job.

Nice hunt and some great finds. I bet that there is a lot more out there. Keep us informed. H H

Sweet hunt, always nice to find a seated!

Well done on the finds mate

Very nice finds.....congratulations! Great video!

Great hunt!!! I was saying to my self you had to have silver from that beautiful high tone & ID numbers. Congratulations on the seated dime with the rusty nails!!!!!

Awesome vid keep them coming

Man an Awesome hunt, Congrats on the seated.

Very good hunt congrats on the seated dime, IHP and wheat.

The lab wanting to help.

Nice Finds, congrats on the seated! Maybe that's your lucky Puppy. I use the SJCAM Also they are a great alternative to the go pro

Bring tennis balls 🎾 the next time for the dog to play with!!

Pesky dog,,,, but sweet hunt!! Thanks for taking us along,,,

Great video man! I've been using the etrac for several months now and these types of videos are exactly what I like to watch! I get to see your numbers and hear the tones and I too try and call it before you dig it! In the next one, could you show us your set-up? Thanks again, keep it up! HH

hey, good job man!😀😁😀😁😀

nice job

You might just hit a gold mine on this one. Good luck. You have a whole lot more to hunt in that yard. That's great.

awwww lol puppy wants to play, looks like no one really pays any attention to him :( cute little fella

that was fun! I like the faucet you found it was cool and it cleaned up nicely. thx for the vid....peace,,,,,,

rover was just trying to lend a helping paw. lol

Nice silver dime. The puppy was cute, I guess not if he was jumping on you though. I would likely be rolling in the grass playing with it instead of penny hunting lol

ENJOYED THE VIDEO GL&HH

I wish it was that easy of digging where I hunt.!

Great hunt Mowerdog, Loved the different shots you used in the video.from the long shots to the close ups, your production skills really shined.. That pup just wanted to be the Mowerdog Mascot! Hey Kenny, do you have any of those Detetnix pin pointers left in stock, or plan to get any more? Great find, going after that Seated amongst those nails.If you go back and do a grid search at this location, make sure you video it. Thanks for taking us along on this great hunt. GL and HH!

Great location. I know this vids fairly old now but which Pinpointer were you using in this vid?...Thanks

I like that digger you have, can you divulge where you picked it up?

You are certainly fortunate to have access to such an intriguing site. I wish I could be there. I am not familiar with your digging tool. What is it called? And where might I acquire one? Thank you and continued good luck!

nice job! I hate it when dogs jump on me.....dang flee bitten varmits

when I metal detect, I like to tell any curious on lookers that I'm sweeping for mines.

Where did you get that type of hand trowel ? Ive looked for that style but cant seem to find one.... I looked at the Amazon link you posted. Not one on there.

Nice video, I am thinking of getting a similar camera set up as you. Congrats on the Seated dime that was awesome. I set up my machines not to disc as much as you and I dig almost everything that isn't a nail. Do you think about all the nice gold items and relics that you have discriminated out? GL&HH

Nice finds. I don’t mind dogs hanging with me on a hunt but it does make me nuts when they hang their dog collar over the coil and blow my ears out. Did you start close to the house and work your way out or did you have some other plan?

new to detecting, I have a Fisher F75 SE. What's the best settings for a beginner? Will be hunting fields and old home places.

Where did you buy that clamp from? What kind is it?

Awesome video!! What is that camera mount called and where did you get it?

nice hunt what detector are you using?

The Puppy says,I dont know what game were playing,but stop ignoring me.lol

hi there....I was just at a small memorial park in a small town and I dug up four LC69 shell casings...do you have any idea why they were there? i think they go with rifles. they were about 2 inches down. the park memorializes soldiers so maybe there was a ceremony with shots fired??? I think all or most were at the side of the sidewalk for some reason....but that's mostly only where I looked.. other than around benches. I am clueless when it comes to guns. Thanks!

why did the seated almost look like clad , not shiny surprised I,m new at metal detecting

Would make sense carry plastic bottle of water to wash items off instead of have dirt used as sand paper to clean off.

Great hunt.....except for that pesky dog! :) He just wanted to play. Congrats on the seated, looks like there is an "X" scratched in it? Were you using your Conductive program? Enjoy your Videos! HH & GL, Dan

Hey My name is trapper. I like the way you do your videos. You find lots of cool things. What state do you detect in! Just wondering because that may be why I'm not finding too much around here. Just picking lol:)

Shoulda gave the dog a milk bone and had him do the diggin 4 ya

Hard to compare your Minelabs $1500 machine to my $400 Fisher. I like the how to but the signal stuff isn't relevant to my cheaper machine.

Could someone give me a reccomendation on a good place to metal detect on a farm? (my farm)

👍👍👍👍

Very needy young dog, really wanting attention!

hey I'm at a playground/park and the police department is literally next door......should I just leave or go ahead and MD?????

Just like to add that the camera is not a GoPro. GoPro's are made in China so I bought a SJ4000 camera for $68. I guess it's a China knock off of a China made camera. LOL. As you can see it's works good.

Quit being mean to that dog he just wants some lovin jerk!!!!

didn't thumbs down you for being rude to the puppy. you could have taken a minute or two to play with him. be glad he didn't take your pretty yellow pointer somewhere and chew it up.
