History's Dirty Secrets #13 Chicago Ron' England hunt.part 1

I coordinate and run a metal detecting trip to England 2 times a year. 6 hunters and I spent 3 weeks wondering the English countryside looking for coins and artifacts. We made some amazing discoveries. Join us as we get a few glimpses at over 2,000 years of history.

History's Dirty Secrets #13 Chicago Ron's England Hunt. Part 2

part 2 is the 2nd week and part of the third week. More gold, silver and artifacts. It's amazing to me how much is lost and waiting to be found beneath our feet. Almost everywhere we walk, and in England especailly, there is over 3,000 years worth of metal artifacts and coins lost or discarded just waiting for the prepared detectorist.

History's Dirty Secrets #9 A Penny for your thoughts.

After 8 days without detecting, I needed some digging! 3 hunts about 8 hours total. 3 Barbers, a merc, a rosie, and a multiple signal which I thought was a nickle and a silver turned out to be a 1910 V nickle and an 1840 large cent.thats a first for me. And my oldest U.S. coin.
Hope you enjoy!
