Virgin ground detecting videos - UPDATED with video 5!

Starting way back in late winter of this year I found a place where virgin ground was being exposed and the detecting was incredible. I posted a lot of those finds here, but for obvious reasons I wasn't going to post the videos to let others pirate my site. Well, after 6 months the site is once again under concrete so I have started to post to the hunt videos on youtube, but I forgot to came back and posted them here too. I am listing all the first videos here so I don't create lots of similar threads. There are still more videos coming from this site, but here are the first 4.

Wow what a great site, funny you haven't come across any competiton at the spot. I think I would have packed up a box of batteries and my tent and not come home untill it was cleaned out.
Nice job on the videos as well.

Yeah , I'm with Zodiac on that point , I too would have literally camped out - and night hunted with a spelunking helmet - have fresh coffee and donuts ready for
the local police, or rent -a- cops . When you have dirt like that , LOADED with obsolete coins , that hasn't seen the light of day for 75 years or so - and it's about
to get covered with concrete or asphalt for most of another century , you have to take extraordinary measures to save these coins !!!

Jason, excellent vids and awesome coins. Any Idea what was there before the last batch of concrete was poured? I am thinking maybe some kind of old swimming hole or amusement park.........nge

This has been a public square and courthouse site since the town was founded in 1893.

Sorry, had the wrong year in there.
