Lifetime Kathleen, Florida resident, and classmate, Ben takes me on a historic tour and we stop at a location for a quick dig. Little did I know this dig would take longer than any other, one of the biggest holes and largest items I have ever found. We both worked ourselves to death digging this wagon wheel out. What an amazing and unusual find with the Equinox 800. We did finish up the day scouting a few more sites but this will be a day I long remember. The COPTECH Vault story at the end of the video takes you back in time to 1980 when I worked in a city jail. Here you will hear a few unbelievable stories from my jailer days long gone by. Thanks for watching and be sure to leave me a comment and help share this video.

It was my first dig of the morning and to my surprise, I hit a hot wire that was buried two inches down. It wasn't buried to code as I found out a short time later. Sparks fly out of the ground and I'm nearly electrocuted. The plastic handle on the shovel saved me. So after you watched this video, I want you to think about what type of shovel you have. An all-metal shovel can have its advantage deep in the woods but I'd think twice about going around a house with one. Let me know what your thoughts are. At the end of the video is the COPTECH Vault.

Subscriber Contest and Metal Detecting at a creepy-looking Bates Motel in the middle of nowhere. Heading home from the Florida Hunt 7, I decided to make a few stops to go metal detecting along the way. Just outside of Ocala, I passed an abandoned motel with a for sale sign and phone number on it. I decided to call the number and ask for permission to search and sure enough, the property owner agreed. I find some coins during this one-hour hunt and meet a resident who had been doing some digging himself.
