Recovering Relics

Hi everyone!
Well a few weeks ago I decided to hunt my neighbor's house that was built in 1695. It was the first time there with my MXT. I was excited to see what I had been missing with the other detectors and interested to see what the MXT would pick up.
Started the day off by finding some misc. relics, shot-shells, etc. Then I moved to a part of the woods I never really hunted before. I ended up finding a few cool bullets!
Since I wasn't getting many signals in the woods I decided to go behind the old barn. I got a nice nickel signal and sure enough, I found my first Buffalo nickle of the year!!
Next good find was a pre-WWII good luck token with a swastika on it. I've always wanted to find one of those!
Next I came across an old coin spill! First I pulled 2 pennies from the 60's, then 2 Wheat Cents, and then......MY FIRST SILVER WITH THE MXT!!! It was a 1964 Rosie! Just made it! I've found 3 silver rosies and they've all been from 1964, lol.
I also found my first crotal bell and a pocket knife shortly afterwards.
Here is the video I made of the hunt! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0ZoUuaOX1U
Also wanted to say thanks everyone for the feedback on my videos, glad you like them!
Good luck and HH!
