well done video!Great video editing (music , splicing, capturing digs and "the moments", etc...). Very fun to watch!

After seeing those 1700s & 1800s stuff turn up at the start of the video, it was rather confusing to see a coin purse/baggie of coins from the 1960s show up. The giveaway that it wasn't a long-buried loss, was that the cloth baggie and string wasn't corroded. If it had been from the 1800s, it would have long since decayed leaving only the coins, and a few threads in the hole.

Good find!

How come coins show up in farm fields? I notice you have allot of luck in farm fields. Were those the locations of something else in the past like an old town or something?

Thank you everybody!! Yes - seems like the coins definitely stayed dry as the soil there was very fluffy/sandy....Tom - how crazy is it to find coins in one day with the oldest being 1798 and the newest 1969!! So weird! But I agree - likely the bag was lost there fairly recently as this area still sees quite a bit of foot traffic, especially during hunting season....Dave - I think we are finding so many coins in our fields up here because they are all really old...people probably harvested by hand back then which would account for a lot of lost items. Many of the cornfields and hay fields we hunt date back to the 1700s, which is pretty amazing. It's our favorite location to hunt for sure - nothing beats a wide open field in my opinion. Thank you for watching and sharing this little adventure with us, everybody!
