Jus' Dirt Fishin' Metal Detecting

Had a few hours to spare. So I went back to the old Southern Plantation House that was built in 1820, but the land is older. This time around I decided to use the 6” coil bc some of the areas are heavy with iron. You can tell what it was loaded with. Didn’t find a lot of trash this time. Found a few unidentified relics and a handful of square nails. #metaldetecting #danvilleva #instagram #jusdirtfishin #southernvirginia #bekind #dirttherapy #farmlife #minelabequinox #minelabequinox600 #6inchcoils #squarenails #unidentified #relics #oldiron #historysaved #oneholeatatime

Was lucky enough to get back to the old farm and check out some ground that has been mowed. #Thinking about next time I get back in that area I will put the 6” coil on. There seems to be a lot of iron in the ground. But the 11” did pretty well I feel. Was able to sniff a few old relics out. Wish I could tell some ages but unfortunately I’m not able too. #metaldetecting #relics #historymatters #digitall #jusdirtfishin #dirtlife #virginia #southernlife #southernvirginia #usa🇺🇸 #historysaved

Got out for a few hours. Decided to go look for the lost abandoned house and follow the old road to see what was left from yesterday’s past. Found a few mystery pieces and a few relics along the way. #metaldetecting #bekind #danvilleva #dirttherapy #instagram #southernvirginia #farmlife #jusdirtfishin #minelabequinox #minelabequinox600 #everydaylife #relics #yesterdayspast #mysteryrelics

Got a few hours to do some detecting before my day started. So I decided to head on over to the same area I’ve been for the last few times. But this time i wanted to try out some different areas of the property. I learned about an old road so I decided to look for that. I believe I found it. I could see the sunken ground so I followed it for a short distance swinging my detector. Found some pretty interesting relics. Modern change, some unidentified lead and a few bullets to add to the collection. I did manage to find a horse shoe this time around. Been awhile for me on finding one. But as always I had a great time out. I believe it’s a suspender clip and it has some writing on it, but my eyes won’t allow me to read it all. #savinghistory #danvilleva #unusualrelics #metaldetecting #lifestyle #diggingdeep #hardground #concrete #coins #relics #instagram #youtube #buttons #suspenderclips.

Went back to the old College where I have been for the last few videos. In this particular area there was an old homestead somewhere close to where I was digging. Still haven’t found remnants of the old home. But I’m continuing to search. I believe I’m finding some of the personal relics from who lived or visited the old place. We just never know. That’s the best part of this hobby is the unknown and the unexpected. Unfortunately the relics can not talk to us but only give us the stories through the finds we make. #southernvirginia #bekind #danvilleva #dirttherapy #farmlife #jusdirtfishin #metaldetecting #instagram #minelabequinox #minelabequinox600 #youtube #relics #facebook #history #usa #localhistory

Took a couple of trips, but I managed to pull out some older relics. Ground is hard as a rock but I still push through and saved some old personal items of yesteryear. Something I love to find is something someone used and lost along the way. #southernvirginia #jusdirtfishin #metaldetecting #bekind #danvilleva #dirttherapy #farmlife #minelabequinox #instagram #minelabequinox600 #personalitems #savingsomehistory

Went back to the same spot I did the week before where I found Two Silver coins. Well I’m happy I decided to go back. I found some unexpected relics and a few more coins. Thank everyone for the birthday day wishes on Facebook. It was a great birthday. #southernvirginia #jusdirtfishin #metaldetecting #bekind #danvilleva #dirttherapy #farmlife #minelabequinox #instagram #minelabequinox600 #youtube

This Video will be in two different areas. The first part as you will see is at my old plantation house the finds was scarce, but I made it work. Managed to pull out an old pants button. The last part of the video is at my college permission. I only had a few hours maybe to detect until dark. I don’t think it was even that. But man it was worth the time I had. The Equinox 600 was right on point. I was able to pull out some awesome old coins and some lead. Will be back there soon. #southernvirginia #jusdirtfishin #metaldetecting #bekind #danvilleva #dirttherapy #farmlife #instagram #minelabequinox #minelabequinox600 #coins #usa #dirttherapy #summervibes

Got the opportunity to do some afternoon detecting for a few hours. I decided to detect the yard of the old farm house. I had detected it before and was told it had been done by someone else also. Well they sure missed a lot. I detected an area that had high grass. Didn’t have high hopes. But man was I wrong. When I go back I’ll be detecting that area again. Looks original ground. So nothing was to extremely deep. But deep enough. I ended up find a bucket lister. Took my over 4 years to find a full one. And some other great finds. I was glad I was able to save some history. #southernvirginia #jusdirtfishin #metaldetecting #bekind #bekind #danvilleva #dirttherapy #instagram #minelabequinox #minelabequinox600 #oldhomestead #farmlife #yesterdayspast #fyp #virginia #history #everyone

Went to the farm to detect the hay field before the grass gets to high. Well I believe it will be fall before I can get into there again. Lucky enough I have the main house and my other permission to carry me through. And working on some other permissions 🤞🏻🤞🏻that will be able to get them. It was definitely an iron kind of day. The ground is hard and dry and everything was deeper than normal. I wish they would disc the ground. But they won’t. There’s a few pieces that are not in these pictures I left them there. #iron #metaldetecting #southernvirginia #danville #Virginia #southernfarm #sunnydays #summertime #hotdays.

Got out in this crazy heat. Didn’t make it but a few hours. But did manage to pull a few old relics out of the ground at the old farm. I believe a woman’s lip stick tube and a stove leg from what everyone is saying and pickers tag with the number 945 on it. And this is what everyone is saying. #oldrelics #oldschool #historysaved #oldland #southernliving #southernvirginia #farmlife #jusdirtfishin #danvilleva #countrylife.

Went out to a new spot. Was hard digging as the rain didn’t help the ground much. Hot and muggy with a side of smoke in the air. But wasn’t bad. I search a spot where an old house once was. But didn’t find much. Then was told about another spot where the took some dirt to build up the creek bank. 2nd hole I managed to pull out this broach. Unfortunately I had to leave so next time I’ll be headed right to that particular spot with the 6” coil. #metaldetecting #jusdirtfishin #minelabequinox #southernvirginia #countryliving #danvillevirginia.

Well had the opportunity to head back to the old farm I’ve been at for awhile now. As always this old farm never disappoints. Only thing I had issues with was the tall grass and the ticks. I picked over 30 off of me while I was there and the wife got around 40 when I came home. And that’s after using bug spray. Trying a different brand next time. After talking with the land owner last time I decided to search around and look for the old abandon homesite she was talking about. After many steps and over trees and some tall grass I finally found it. Found some interesting relics and plan on going back with my 6” coil. And snoop around to see what is left there. Big old farm, I’m sure there are more relics to be found. #relics #dirttherapy #jusdirtfishin #metaldetecting #sunnyday #bekind #instagram #minelabequinox #oldhomestead #minelabequinox600 #homesteading #abandonedplaces #woods

Well finally after a few weeks of not being able to get out. I was finally able to go. Decided to go back to the old farm that I’ve been going to for the last few times being out. Well this time the hay field was almost thigh high. To high to swing in. So I decided to go across the road to the main house. Honestly it’s pretty trashy. So next time I may put the 6” coil on. It might make a difference. But as always it was fun getting out to do some swinging. #metaldetecting #jusdirtfishin #minelabequinox600 #relics #homestead #oldland #oldiron #sunnyday #Bluesky #goodvibes #dirttherapy.

Went back to the old farm for a few hours. This place is going to be something else. Tried some different areas but still stayed close to the old cabin next to the woods. Well I’m not disappointed in what I found. Managed to find a lantern piece. Can not get the date off of it. A few interesting looking pieces. A half of a pony shoe. Still had a great time. #metaldetecting #jusdirtfishin #minelabequinox600. #minelabequinox #relics #coins #oldfarmhouse #danvilleva #Youtube #sunnydays #fyp #bekind #interestingfinds #1800

Went out to a new permission that I have been wanting to detect this property sense I got the okay to go. But life keeps us busy and I have been sitting on it for over two weeks. Well today was the day. I’ve barely touched the surface here. Only got done maybe 2/10th of an acre done because there is so much land. It will take along time to detect it all. But willing to give it a try. Found plenty of iron pieces. And found a few keepers and found a few first. Found a 1913 wheat penny only coin of of the day. My first bell 🔔 and my first I believe it’s a barrel tap. And another piece that I’m not sure what it is. #metaldetecting #metaldetectingfinds #metaldetectingusa #oldland #oldhomestead #jusdirtfishin #Youtube #instagram #relics #PersonalGrowth #dirttherapy #sunnyday #unusualfinds

Did some walking and exploring found some different areas to swing on. When I get more time I’m definitely hacking these areas out slower. Each area has the potential to have something very old. Can’t complain on what I found today. I never could find out anything on the old token. It’s just to far gone. #metaldetecting #jusdirtfishin #equinox600 #oldrelics #tokens #woods #reliclife #dirttherapy #danvilleva

Detected my old church for a few hours didn’t find a lot. A few days later I decided to walk and check out a patch of woods I’ve been doing some research on. Only had a few hours to walk around and detect some. I’m glad I did bc I came up with a bucket lister and my oldest coin as of now. And to top it off it’s my oldest silver coming out ever. So as I say. If your gut tells you to check somewhere go check it out bc I’m happy I listen. #1800 #bucketlisters #silvercoins #danvilleva #relics #danvillevirginia #dirttherapy #equinox #everyday #everyone #instagram #jusdirtfishin #lovinglife #fyp

Tried out a couple of new places. Didn’t find much. So I decided to go back to my old brick church I haven’t detected sense last summer in an area I’ve never detected. Well didn’t find the mother load. But did find some unusual old relics, I believe a cheap kids ring and what looks like a old car door handle. Not sure what the old iron piece is up in the right corner of the picture or what the brass piece is, but it rang up 33 on the Equinox 600. But main thing is I had fun. Did find a new area to walk and detect. So will go back there soon. #metaldetecting #jusdirtfishin #minelabequinox600 #relics #coins #minelabequinox #danvilleliving #southernliving #southervirgina #danvilleva #Youtube #danvilleva #danvillevirginia #equinox #relics #1800 #dirttherapy #emptylot #everyday #everyone #instagram

Got back out for a few hours this morning. Decided to detect the old 1879 Church and the 1890 house that’s owned by the same person. Well didn’t find much at all. It was more of a testing out some new ground at the 1890 house bc I’ve never spent any time there. Did manage to pull out a 1944 wheat penny. Have to say it was fun being back out again. #jusdirtfishin #relics #1800 #danvilleva #danvillevirginia #dirttherapy #equinox #minelab_equinox #instagram #youtube #everyday #everyone #history

Went to a new permission that had 3 old homes there at one time. Was lucky enough to find some goodies. Empty lot is full of trash. But the 6” coil managed to pull some good relics out. #danvillevirginia #minelabdetecting #relics #emptylot #oldland #equinox #jusdirtfishin #virginia #danvilleva #southernvirginia

Checked out a new permission. Mid 1800’s farm. But it has had a lot of modern day construction with a lot of trash hiding the good stuff. When I go back again I might use my 6” coil to pick through. But there are 90+ acres with plenty of areas to check out. Found some brass bullet cases a lot of broken glass kept some of the pieces. Some old farm pieces that I left there. I’ve barely scratched the surface. But after a month of not detecting it felt great to get out for some swinging therapy. I did find a mysterious piece of lead. Not sure what it is. It’s about the size of a penny. That was probably my best if my finds. Will be back soon. #1800 #farmhouse #jusdirtfishin #relics #metaldetecting #minelabequinox600 #dirttherapy.

Went back to the farm after an almost 3 week break. I have been fighting the flu. So I felt like going out. Think I’m going to give this place a break until winter time and give things to die. So over grown it’s very hard to swing in. But I managed to pull a few old items out. I found an old pocket knife. Was lucky to find it all. Didn’t take a picture of every piece. But this pistol I believe is a Cap Gun. But I wasn’t able to find a serial number. So I’m not sure. It looks pretty old. But idk. #danvillevirginia #jusdirtfishin #oldfarm #gun #pocketknife #dirttherapy #minelabdetecting #oldrelics.

Went out to the farm until the rain made me give up for the day. Wasn’t a real productive day. But I did manage to produce a bucket lister. So I plan on getting back to that area soon and do some more detecting. Mother Nature had other plans. #jusdirtfishin #farmland #relics #savinghistory#allholesmatter #minelabdetecting #equinox #harmonica #reef #danville #goprohero9 #snapmounts #youtube #bucketlist
