Detector(s) used

Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
I am posting this separately from Mark's (49r Relics) post so I can answer questions, introduce myself and post pictures.

As Mark said, we were lucky to find a few new sites that we could detect on after he did some research. Me, Mark (49r Relics) and Ron Swenson (Ron CA) were all on this hunt and we all started detecting the site, spread out in different directions. It was my first day out with my new XP Deus so coming from a Minelab I knew I had better step my game up with Mark and Ron swinging CTX's. It was literally my first good repeatable signal that started this off. One thing to keep in mind is none of these were hard to hear and any decent detector on the market would have heard any of these. And any one of us 3 could have been the first to find one these. But it was definitely my day as I dug that 1864 Seated Half (I was lucky enough to have dug my first seated half earlier in the year) so I was pretty jazzed when this popped out. It was too late to video it because I had already popped it out. The rest of the hunt is history now but it could have been any of us!!

We went back to this site several times and countless hours were spent searching for more. Only relics, no more coins from this site.

Thank you for all the comments on the other thread!

Thank you everyone I really appreciate all the comments and it's super awesome to make banner! I'm glad everyone likes the videos and the coins. I'm just happy we got the chance to rescue these beautiful coins from wasting away in the ground.

Thank you for the warm welcome - Andrew
 

Congrats to you & your friend on a double banner!!!! Amazing finds, we are drooling!
 

Congrats Mr Merc!!! That was awesome one after another, a hunt never to forget!!!
 

Welcome to Tnet and congrats on the Banner. Totally AWESOME saves.
 

Congratulations on a find of a lifetime!, that video was just about the best detecting video I have ever witnessed, the finds you and the others made are top notch, your story deserves recognition, heck perhaps national headlines, but then you draw attention to your finds and we all know what happens after that. Either way man, I'm blown away at that hunt, I watched it twice! Congrats to you sir, go take a beach vacation and sip on them fancy umbrella drinks, you guys deserve it!
 

Congrats on making such a mind blowing find, it made a fantastic display that's for sure. I hope you guys can make a few more finds from that cashe and perhaps Ron can score a few this time.
ZDD
 

well I'm not sure my heart can take watching the video a second time. you have lived every metal detector's dream; a cache or a spill doesn't matter it was breath taking to watch. deserve your banner finds
 

Awesome Hunt... you know without the video it would have been still one great hunt to remember for sure... but to have it on video to remember and to replay it is simply amazing. You raised the bar with that hunt. ps I love the riker case display with the golden pinnacle atop the pyramid. I am glad to see you are keeping them together.:thumbsup:
