Metal Detecting an Old Church in the Middle of a Bustling City!

This week we get asked to metal detect an old church in the heart of the bustling city of Wilmington Delaware. The congregation decided to tear up their existing landscaping and change it up for a different curb appeal so they asked us to come out with our metal detectors before the work begins to see what items might be found in the yard so they can be put on display inside. The church itself was constructed around 1890 on the site of a previous farmhouse that went back 100 years older than that so the possibilities can be endless, as this whole area was founded way back in 1638! So lets do a quick prayer, bury a fresh banana, and see what cool pieces we can find buried in this holy plot!

  • My grandfather who helped raise me and taught me to sing was the same age as that coin...born in 1886. He told me some crazy survival stories. He was a preacher.
  • Beautiful building and it would be a great honor to metal detect it! Congratulations guys! Respect!
  • @DCHoosier62
    That church is beautiful! I just love seeing the old architecture, wow! Thank you for taking us along.

    Faith and GRACE, not Geese:) That's a stylized Cross, rather than purely traditional... It looks good! That didn't look like a Canadian coin to me. At least you'all found something! Beautiful Church outside and especially those windows .Thar real authentic pipe organ must sound great. We had one at Trenton State College when I was a music major there in 1959-60, way better sound than the electronic ones! Cheers, Rik Spector

    What a beautiful church!! So nice to meet you and Dog Tag Doug at Ka-do-ha!!
  • @scottt2325
    I hope you guys gave it a try after they did their digging ... scraping off that sod layer often leads to the good stuff
  • Haven’t been out in a minute! Living through you guys. Thanks for the videos!
  • Hey! so the first coin you found at 4:50, that is actually a british coin! Candian coins usually have CANADA written on the back of the coin with a certain animal on the back. British coins will always have that gate in the middle with the amount circled around the top. Keep that one! since the Queen has passed away, all of the British money with the Queen's face will be out of circulation and will now have King Charles on the front. Great find!

    Good job guys. Nice of you to help the Church out.
  • Beautiful church! Didn't find anything extraordinary but it was a cool permission and ya left your mark with the banana
  • That church is a beauty Jason. Like always y'all found some good coins and relics!
  • @MCB9537
    Pretty cool guys. You need to convince them to invite you back once they strip the sod off.
