Coins on You Tube

There are lots of interesting coin videos on You Tube. From collections to stackers and unboxings, there is something for just about anyone interested in the hobby. Some real interesting videos are guys with metal detectors filming videos in parks, playgrounds and farmers fields.

After the signal, they grab a camera and start digging a plug in search of a coin. Now many finds I have seen are one cent Lincoln Memorials and clad coins. However, there are plenty of silver coins are still being dug from the ground. A silver Washington is worth about $6, so all that digging can add up to a good investment.

One of the most successful detectors goes by the name chicagoron61 on You Tube.  He uses an underwater metal detector to search the shores of Lake Michigan and comes up with some great items. Besides coins, Ron specializes in returning lost class rings to their owners, and films these encounters on his channel. See below for one of his better days of hunting:
 

The video is a bit on the longer side, but is really cool and you can click through to the end for his recap.   Ron's equipment and technique are amazing, and he really finds a lot of treasure.  Check out chicgoron61 on You Tube for more of his videos.  I'll be posting more awesome coin videos in the coming weeks, so check back and let me know what you think.  Thanks for stopping by my blog!
