Very interesting!
It's fascinating to see how different styles people have; some of that detecting is rather brutal - chopping away with the digging tool and rubbing the coins

I like the old "black and white" intro on that first one. Too bad the video quality is so low and you can't make out much on the coins, but you might not be able to make out the date on coins when they first come outta the dirt anyway. I watched with the sound off, so I didn't hear any commentary if there was any.

I have thought of doing this, myself, though I suppose one really should have a head-mounted camera, I suppose, for solo "point of view" shooting like that. Anybody have any equipment recommendations? It would have to be head-mounted for me, since I don't have a cameraman to follow me around. Nor do I have any idea how to edit digital video, much less shoot anything other than 15-second clips with my Mavica.

Then again, maybe it's a good thing that y'all can't watch me work.

I've watched several videos on detecting there
My favorites are the hammered coin finds in the UK.

No detector required!

Oh, crap. I can't watch those. I'd be on the next flight across the pond.
