Actual American Treasure FOUND Metal Detecting an Old House! Seated Silver Coins Galore! Epic Hunt

English detectorist here. I've dug up hammered coins around 800 years old. I've dug up 2 gold coins which are 200 years old. Yet watching you lot across the pond dig up awesome shiny silvers like that just makes me happy on a different level. Your coins come up looking fantastic!

What I love most about this video, is how genuinely excited these two are.

Back in 1973 a co worker bought a detector. The first place he went was his yard. This is in Pasadena Ca. His home was I’m guessing built around 1922. He hit the jack pot finding 3 baby food jars full of silver dollars. It’s something I always think of when metal detecting come up.

12:19 that actually made my day, seeing that guy so genuinely exited.

One of the best and most enjoyable "Treasure' videos, I've seen in a long time. No pumped up hype or self promotion, just a very interesting window into a young treasure hunter's adventure. The excitement was contagious! A cool side note, was the demeanor of both of you guys...excited but respectful of the property owner's turf. Careful cutting with your trowel and replacing topsoil is important and helps all of us to keep our honorable pastime beyond reproach. Thanks for the video...hope you do some more!

Absolutely one of the best silver videos I've seen in awhile. Wow you were truly blessed with this permission. Bringing your roommate to try his luck on such an epic hunt truly shows the type of person you are. He will remember that silver the rest of his life. Congrats on the gorgeous half. Thanks for sharing and take care.

The Silver finds were great, but seeing you dig up that perfect yard was golden!

I started metal detecting in 1971, and over the years have found many interesting and sometimes puzzling objects. I have found silver, gold, bronze, copper, zinc and other metals that coins, jewelry and other objects can be made of. The oldest coin I found is 1700 years old (a Roman bronze) and the oldest object is 3000 years old (a small section of a bronze sword). Having said all that, I will now address those commenters who say that (1) silver coin dug out of the ground don't come out shiny or that (2) no one can find that many silver coins in one location. (1) Yes they do. Most silver coins or jewelry come out of the ground shiny. Although as another commenter mentioned, the type and or condition of the soil can stain silver. (2) Yes he can. I have detected locations like that more than once over the years. It often takes a lot of research and a lot more luck to find such a good location, but it can be done. Another thing, unless one of the coins he recovered is very rare, I doubt that there is even $50 worth of value there. As another person commented, those coins are probably only worth the value of the silver content. But, the value of our finds is not why we love detecting.

What a bountiful yard, really amazing, silver galore. People who do not participate in this hobby have no idea how difficult & rare it is to find a yard like this. Enjoy my man!

Great finds, lads, and mostly in such good condition! I hope the landowner let you keep them. Whoever lost that 1/2 dollar at 5 minutes in must have been very sorry; that was a fair little bit of money back then.

I've been Metal Detecting for more than40 years. I've found a lot of Beautiful Old Coins, but I think that 1877 Seated Liberty Half is one of the NICEST USA Coins I've ever seen recovered. Congratulations Young Man!

The detail in that seated half was just amazing!

Can't even speak right now!! You were blessed beyond measure buddy!! Congrats!!

This is a dream yard of all time! Unbelievable. I'm commenting as I watch!

Incredible yard! What a beauty that half is, congratulations man!

Friend of mine found an 1855 Australian half sovereign near his gate. It was nearly new. This is the rarest date. It ended up with a collector at a bit over 100k. Thats the best coin find ive seen.

Oh my goodness Zach I am speechless! Amazing coins! Congrats buddy!

excellent yard! been doing this as a hobby for 15 years, keep up the hunting! detecting in the old south is by far the most exciting

Love how well he treats his finds.

Wow! I am just blown away by that yard! So happy for you and glad to see there are still some places around that can make some dreams come true. I hope to find one some day!
