Digging my first copper (Day 1 and Day 2 of the Digging in PA vacation vlog)

[deerhuntinghippie]

Hey folks, I posted a picture a few days ago of all the trash we dug on vacation in PA. For those that missed that thread, the wife and I and our good friend James drove up to PA to dig with Jocelyn (Relic Recoverist) and The Hoover Boys. It was by far the best vacation I've ever had. I knocked all kinds of items off the bucket list and we couldn't have asked for better company. Jocelyn was a hoot and such a kind "host/tour guide" and Kurt, Bob and Brad were just some cool, down-to-earth, relic-digging-machines as we expected they'd be. The entire experience was spectacular and I already miss the people and the countryside.
While there, Amanda and I accumulated loads and loads and loads of footage. Since we were on vacation, it only felt right to film the entire trip, day by day in a vlog style format.
I finally finished the first video yesterday, for those interested. It's basically the first 2 days of the trip. I'm not sure how well these vlogs will be received in the community and on youtube but I had so much fun editing this footage and I imagine in a few years I'll be glad I decided to go with this style of video since my regular editing style trims away too many subtleties, subtleties I didn't want to lose from this experience.
Anyways, hope some of you enjoy this first video.

Hey folks, slowly but surely I'm getting this footage editing. I know many here hate it when videos are posted without pictures but I don't want to post pictures until I'm finished with all of the videos. So in the mean time, please bear with me. As soon as I get the videos edited, I will post pictures in this thread of all the goodies we found. For those of you that enjoy the videos, here's the latest installment of the PA Vacation Vlog. Hope you enjoy.

I also want to add that I'm aware that I forgot a few letters on the thumbnail I was in a hurry and had a feral 4 year hanging from my earlobe. I would change it but the YT algorithm is finicky and it could hurt the organic progression.
Anyways, hope you enjoy.

As far as detecting videos I like them ; just not on the format of this site.

I understand. Like I said, I will be posting pictures once the videos are complete. I don't want to give the goodies away prematurely.

Alright folks, I've finally finished the 3rd vlog from our PA trip. It's taking me forever to get all this footage edited. This has been the busiest summer of my life. Anyways, I'm nearing the end of this little series and at the end, like I said, I'm going to post pictures of all the finds.
In this video, we finally meet up and dig with The Hoover Boys. It was a remarkable time. Hope you enjoy.

Alright folks, finally got the last video of our trip edited. It was bittersweet. I really do miss PA. Anyways, our last day up there was probably our best day of digging of the whole trip. Hope you enjoy the video. I'm going to do a separate wrap up video because I didn't have enough space on my Mac. I will also post pictures soon.
