Awesome finds Sam. Congrats on the half. Beautiful condition. Look like it was dropped right after being made. Almost gets you emotional finding something you’ve been wanting to find. Again congratulations

Greetings.I'm from Russia myself, I've been digging for 14 years and I know that it's always nice to find large portrait silver. Once I found 1 US cent of 1938 by myself. But we have places where people no longer live or the forest has already grown much more, but the cop style itself is very different from ours. Have a good find!

I wish I knew what the approximate value was for those things. The ring, I'm guessing a couple hundred or so. Also, those coins had more value back then, and I wonder how people could loose them, apparently easily?

They say around 50% of all coins minted end up in the ground

@@samsager1 Thanks for telling me that. I have an underwater detector, which goes down to 25'. However, it seems like there's plenty to detect, above ground. I also have books, on where to look, I just need the time.

@OldFart2023 Жыл бұрын

Watching these vids, thinking back to the day these coins "were lost." Can't help but think how devastated that person might have been. Especially the dollar coin. Even if it was lost in the 20's -40's, that was still alot of money back then. And the coins lying on the concrete slab surprised me. How many may have been hauled away after the building was torn down? Were they stashed in a wall....or....? All in all, cool beans!!

When you metal detect at these sites, do you have to ask permission first? I suppose abandoned buildings are a different matter, but somebody must own the land. Just curious before I go out there!

Absolutely I ask for permission from the landowner first. Only way to go.

Indians are from India. The term you’re looking for is “Native American.”

They are called Indian head cents. Or as I call em Indians.

Everyone calls them Indianhead pennies or cents. It's not disrespectful, that's just what they're called. By definition I'm "Native American" but I'm as white as it gets.
