Another awesome coin hunting session which produced 90 coins in 4 hours. Only 4 silver coins, 2 of which were worn badly but a great hunt anyway. I was using a Minelab Etrac with a Detech 18" x 15" SEF coil and the 'Roman coin pattern' as a discimination pattern. Since the ground is almost trash free, I set ground type to 'neutral' and set sensitivity to +2 for maximum detection depth. This field has produced quite a few silver florins but not today - I found quantity over quality. Check out my other detecting videos in the 'METAL DETECTING' playlist on my channel. Want more?

A metal detectorist spends nearly four hours hunting for treasures, uncovering a vast array of pre-decimal coins, military artifacts, and ammunition. The hunt is highly productive, resulting in a total of 90 coins and several unique historical finds, including silver shillings and a musket ball.
This one's giving a very solid 11.40 reading.
Hopefully it'll be something better.
It's George V penny.
Something else as well.
Another two, another one.
Oh, it's a mini hoard.
I'm bored.
Another one, two, three pennies.
And a half penny as well.
Possibly something else.
A sixpence.
Marvellous, George VI one.
Surely there can't be anything else.
Maybe there is.
Looks like a coin ball to me.
Sounds like one as well.
And another half penny and I think that's it.
Not bad. First piece of silver.
I love finding
silver. It doesn't matter how old or young it is.
That's just George VI one, but nice condition
anyway. And one, two, three, four, five pennies, two half pennies.
Five pennies, two half pennies
and a sixpence all out the same hole.
That's not bad at all. I'm only 10 minutes into the hunt as
This one's reading between 11.45 and 12.46,
so hopefully this will be a...
A reasonable target, normally in the 44, 45,
46, tends to be silver, or a big old penny.
I'm hoping it's silver.
Whoa.
Oh, no, I thought there was two coins
in that one as well, but it's not.
It's an old penny.
George VI.
This one's a jumper, going between 10.41 and 8.41,
but it's hitting the right part of the screen.
That's
an
old
penny.
George V penny.
Crusty one, but it looks like a George V penny.
This is a solid signal of 10.39.
It's a halfpenny from George VI
and something else as well by the looks of it.
Another halfpenny, very good,
and possibly something else.
It's another
halfpenny,
that looks
like it's it.
Good strong signal, reading 1141.
Another old
penny, George V,
no big silver
yet though.
I've got a few florins out this field
and I'm kind of hoping I'll find a
nice florin this time but as of yet it hasn't happened.
This one's reading
1239 and it says
it's very shallow,
a coin ball there.
It's another halfpenny, this time George VI.
This is reading a 1043,
and it's not an old penny,
it's two old pennies stuck together.
I've found quite a few doubles and triples and all sorts today.
I'm not going to separate them,
but basically it's two old pennies stuck together.
I think that's all there is in that hole.
This one's reading
1036, and it's
another old penny.
It's fairly worn, this one.
Can't quite make out whose it is either.
Very worn.
Oh, it's 18 something, so it must be...
A Victoria, looks like an early Victoria.
It's only about six inches under the ground.
Just dug a very strong 1306 signal here and got
a full live bullet. This is a, well I know what
it is because I've got the same caliber rifle,
it's a Hornady .17, full bullet,
ballistic tip, everything.
So I'll take it home and I'll fire it off at something.
This is a very strong 1146 and 1144 signals jumping between the two.
And we've got a coin ball. I'm hoping that it's silver.
It's an old halfpenny. Balls.
This one's
reading
1534. Yet
another
halfpenny.
Very crusty this one.
This signal's bouncing around all over the place but it seems to be
settling in the upper right hand side of the screen
so it's worth a dig.
It says it's pretty deep as well.
Ah it's silver! Silver!
It's about time I found...
A little bit more silver, and an older one as well.
George V shilling, 1932.
Stick that in the coin pocket, clean it up,
let you have a look at the end.
Incidentally, I've found loads of half pennies and pennies and so on.
I've videoed them all, but nobody wants to sit through dozens
and dozens of half pennies, pennies, threepenny bits and that.
So I'm going to edit those ones out.
How's it going?
I'll just show you what I've got at the end.
It's quite a haul so far.
This fella's reading 1246, which is usually a good sign.
It's a fairly constant signal as well.
It says it's deep, so maybe something interesting.
Yeah,
it's
a big
old
coin.
Now I did find a Swedish one or coin here
from 1737 I think.
A couple of times, either last time or the time before.
This doesn't look like one of them,
probably a big old Georgian penny or something.
No detail on it, big old coin.
The signal's reading 1240, nice strong signal.
Sova!
It's, well it's the oldest one I've found so far, George V,
sixpence, ah, it's very worn, I think the date's actually
worn off that one, not to worry, it's silver anyway,
possibly another coin in there, or something else
in there, definitely something else, hee hee,
it's more silver, double silver, George V, shilling,
again that one's, that one's super worn, 1920 something,
it's got a 2 on the right hand side of it there,
1920 something, very worn though.
Whilst I'm continuing to film all the half-pennies
and pennies and everything else that I'm digging out,
I'm going to edit them out because I think you've
seen enough half-pennies and pennies coming out.
But this one I've just dug is a little farthen,
1949 farthing with a wren on there, George VI.
That one's a bit different.
I'll leave anything in that's different to half-pennies and pennies,
just to show that I've found a little bit of different stuff,
but that's quite nice.
This is jumping around a bit,
but it seems to be settling more or less on 1441, which...
Possibly a decent sign.
Certainly off towards the right-hand side
of the screen anyway, so it's...
Oh, it's a button. A military button.
My God, it looks to be in good condition as well.
Looks like it's got a lion and a unicorn on.
Yeah, that's in nice condition.
Not going to rub it too much.
But the lion's on this side, unicorn's on that side.
There seems to be a thistle in the middle. Looks nice.
Another solid 1239 signal.
Probably is a big old penny again.
Ha, it's not. It's a musket ball.
It's the first musket ball I've found on this site.
In fact, it's the first sign of anything really old.
Very good.
Well, back home now, and here's the sum of what I've found.
Pennies, half pennies,
three bits, an odd bit of silver,
a big old bullet casing,
a small full bullet,
a bit of all sorts.
I'm going to clean it up and let you have another look.
Well, this is the total of what I've found.
90 coins, believe it or not,
in just under four hours.
These are all pre-decimal
threepenny bits.
These are pre-decimal half pennies.
Pre-decimal pennies.
That, I think, is a Georgian penny. Nothing much on it.
That's a modern ten pence. It's not the one we use at the minute,
but it's in between pre-decimal and the one we use now.
It's a decimal one, but you can't spend it.
There are two farthings. What's that?
A modern one pence, a half pence, no longer in circulation.
Musket ball. The first one of them I found on that side.
There's a 1938 sixpence, 1932 shilling,
I don't think that's got a date or not, it has 1922 shilling.
And this one is another sixpence, but it's got no date.
There's a big old cartridge of some old .303
or .308 or something like that.
This is the .17 bullet, which is still good, so I'm going to stick
that in the box, along with my other ones, and fire it off.
And the last thing I found was this button,
quite nice, military button.
I can't quite read it, I think it says D.U.E.T. something or other,
but it's got quite nice detail on it, very good.
So that's it, four hours with the E-Track,
fairly pleased with that, thanks for watching.
