Over the past eighteen months I've found, and shared a few videos here on Stout Standards....a great many from YouTube.
I decided rather than let them fade away into the archives I would add a video link. Many of these videos are very well done, a few not so well. They are however
entertaining, and great for getting the juices flowing, especially during the winter months. Enjoy and thanks to all those who took the time to film their adventures....
If I felt the text enhanced the video I included it.....
Just viewed Ron Guinazzo's latest video on Facebook, and it made me want to cry. I am seriously considering trashing all my detectors. Ron you need to stop
with all this......
Last update I made you aware of the new website for the Task Force for Metal Detecting Rights Foundation, and my good friend and Task Force member, Carter Pennington,
has offered up this excellent target recovery video. It's well done, and I hope you will share it with your friends and club members. Once again, if you are not familiar
with this group, please take the time to visit their website . I like their style a great deal....
Thanks again to Ron Guinazzo (a.k.a. Chicago Ron) for another terrific video. Ron lives and eats treasure hunting, and if you happen to be on Facebook be
sure to check out his blog under Chicago Ron.....
I have mentioned Brian Mayer many times here on Stout standards, and Brian is a member of the South Jersey Metal Detecting Club ,
one of the biggest and best in the Northeast. If you are into beach hunting be sure to keep check out their site on Facebook. In the search area type in Jersey Shore
Beach and Surf Hunters....
Stumbled across the following video on YouTube, and as a V3i user found it very informative. I was also amazed at the number of related videos this poster
shared, all aimed at V3i and MXT user's (MXT is my second unit). If you use either of these machines you will find these informative.
For those of you who watched the Joe Cook "Christmas Present Search" video (see September 22nd posting) here is the 2nd one he sent. It's from the
the 1989 FMDAC Treasure Weekend in Atlantic City. Because of it's length it's in three parts (thanks Peter Cook). Also, because of when it was taken the quality is not
as sharp.
The first two parts are seminars from the day session, with talks by Rod Hamilton (Tesoro), Charles Garrett, Gerald Costello (NCMD/UK) and yours
truly (my 2nd year with Garrett). Part three centers on the Saturday evening banquet, and if you watch nothing else be sure to watch the hilarious video that
Joe Cook presented. When I first saw it I laughed till it hurt, and when I watched it again last week I was still hurting. Absolutely one of the funniest
bits I've seen....
I was unaware that this video existed, and can't thank Joe enough for sending. Old farts enjoy looking back....
Okay enough. Joe Cook, Bruce Hazelman and Mike Race came up with the idea that they were going to send a Christmas present to Larry and Lee in Texas. What was it?
Detected targets found in their neck of the woods (NJ), identities unknown and unchecked.... Watch and enjoy. Keep in mind that this video was done in the late 80's.
I love it!
AND THE GIFTS WERE.....?
Lee and Larry got their wrapped presents, and did not want to wait until Christmas. They called Joe, Bruce and Mike, asking if they could take them
to their next club meeting and open them there. Reluctantly they said yes. At that meeting....one container held an 1896 Barber quarter in good condition,
and the other a 1913 Barber quarter, also in good condition! Also in one container there was another surprise......an ant's nest!
Joe also sent along a video from one of the FMDAC Treasure Weekends in Atlantic City, and I hope to share that here soon....thanks Joe.
Back in September of last year Robbie Morin wrote to tell me about his interest in Camp Logan, a WW1 Training camp in Houston (see here. )
Metecting this site Robbie to learn more about it's history and he soon became an authority. The Buffalo Soldiers National Museum has once again asked Robbie to share his story, as well as his finds in a
special exhibit commemorating the 94th anniversary of the Houston Riot. This special exhibit will run from August 1st through the end of September.
Robbie has also put together the following video....
This is just another example of what metal detecting brings to the table. Yes we find neat things, but we all learn as we go, and often times it leads to a desire to know more.
Robbie has been a frequent contributor here, and I cannot thank him enough. Congratulations Robbie and thanks again for sharing. If you would like to contact Robbie you can email him at

You can always count on Ron Guinazzo to keep the treasure hunting juices flowing. His YouTube videos are always fun, but his latest is just terrific. See for yourself...
As always, thanks Ron......great job and look forward to the next video....
Thanks as usual to Brian Mayer for making me aware of this video. If you are one of the SOB'S (sold on beaches) out there you will enjoy it. I would also urge you to check out
the Jersey Shore & Beach Hunters on Facebook.
Ron Guinazzo, past president of the MIDWEST HISTORICAL RESEARCH SOCIETY, has almost become a full time Brit in the number of trips he takes to the
UK., and best of all he does a great job of documenting them via video. If you want to get the urge to travel just type in "Chicago Ron" in YouTube.
Here are a couple videos to whet your appetite. Thanks Ron for sharing your trips...
Also recommend the checking out the clubs website here.
You've heard me sing the praises of my friend Nigel Ingram in Birmingham, Englad, but I found a video that I had somehow overlooked, and wanted to post it here. I have known
Nigel and his dad Derek for sometime, and have always been impressed with how they started and grew Regton, Ltd., undoubtedly the best detector shop/distributor in the UK. This video reflects
the many years, and a few of the photos from Atlantic City and the Newbury Rallies bring back memories of good times......
Always amazed that so many detectorists today have the ability to not only detect, but take photos and videos as well. As I said before all I needed (and still need) is a detector, an apron,
and a recovery tool..........
Having said that, I especially enjoy the videos. I frequently offer up Brian Mayer's (Jersey Shore Beach and Surf Hunters) videos for all you SOB's (sold on the beach),
and there are literally hundreds more out there for viewing (thank you YouTube). Just the other day I found a few from France that I really enjoyed, and wanted to share them here. Not familiar
with Eric Fouilleman, but his site and videos are well done. Here are a few....
For those of you who do not understand French, he is basically saying that the French have the best wines in the world (no problem with that), and that John Howland is one nasty guy,
and that you should not believe a damn thing he says (no problem here either)....
Once again Brian Mayer offered up a great YouTube video from Europe, and in the process commented that it was too bad we didn't have coin denominations like this. Having hunted in
Europe I must agree. The euro coin is widely used there.
Will be sorting through my emails today, and may post some more in the next day or so.....in the meantime four neat videos (3 courtesy of Brian Mayer and all courtesy of YouTube).....
Was perusing YouTube the other night and came across a number of videos by "The Bottle Diggers of Hawaii". Evidently it'a popular show, but not one I was not familiar with. If you are
into digging bottles do yourself a favor and check out all their videos on YouTube. Watched most of them and enjoyed them a great deal. Here's a couple to get you going....
Good friend and contributor here, Dee Sperling sent along a neat video I had somehow missed, and want to share it here. It's from the 2010 Treasure Depot's Grand National
Relic Shootout .............
