Hi friends!

I have been waiting patiently to share this whole video. We had not released any footage or finds (other than the half dime) until yesterday!

Here is the complete video and also a couple still shots below if you're not comfortable with YouTube. Please don't vote banner on this hunt because I was already granted it with the half-dime. Thank you for understanding!

We are so proud of this hunt and video, and while my main man Kurt would never ask, I will: please feel free to share it and comment!

Enjoy!!

Congrats on the finding an awesome site especially the half dime and 1877. Sites like these show just how hard it is to find old silver and it mirrors most of my early sites. Loaded with large coppers so definitely a lot of money changing hands but very few old silvers. In a little over two years, I have found around 50 colonial coppers and US large cents to just 3 Spanish silvers and no early US silver.

Crazy to think one property popped a 77 and flowing hair.... Now to convince them to drain the pond.... haha!
 

You guy are the best, discovery channel needs to get with you . thx for all the videos I know it's hard to hunt and run the camera thx Kurt. What a amazing hunt

Kurt is the very best of the best when it comes to both digging like a maniac and video... Hours and hours of time. I could never do it.
 

Great coppers and Draped silver. My best day ever (with two friends) was 17 British and US coppers ranging from 1766-1821. I found 10;)

That's a great variety of coinage. The site was used for quite some time. Big congrats again

The hair was flowing on that silver buddy! :headbang:
 

That has to be the best hunt by anyone, anywhere- imagine finding an 1877 Indian and have it NOT be the best coin of the hunt! Not even close when you throw in that 1795 Half Dime! Great finds, great video! Congrats to all!

WTG Brad. You and the crew raked in some awesome coinage. The look on your face when you realized you hit a Holy Grail silver was priceless. That must have been a surreal moment where you thought you were dreaming perhaps. Totally cool finds with a great group of friends. Does it get any better than that?

Thank you for the support!
 

Holy smokes what a great site. I love it when Research and luck come together
Research to find our sites and luck while we are hunting. Combined with some determination and patience
All adds up to a banner hunt. I'd say that hunt is a double banner day in any book.
Hh gl.
 

Thank you for posting that. I watched the video from beginning to end and loved it. Congrats on finding a site we all dream about.

It's just amazing that an 1877 IH find can be dwarfed by another find. Each and every find was fun to watch.
