A Million Dollars laying on the beach | A Real Treasure Story

I've been metal detecting for 11 years and haven't found anything worth a damn. Cleaned a bunch trash out of the earth though. I guess that's good enough.

🤨 I wouldn't have said Squat to nobody until AFTER I was sure I cleaned the place out 😝🤣!!!!

Did you see the piece sitting right next to his hand when he found the piece of 8? You can only see the rim. It looks like another.

I love how humble this guy is.

I was about 10 years old and I found about 250 dollars in coins and bills around a big water gate thing. It's like a giant sewer cover beside my house. I picked up all the money and then brought it to him excited. He beat the shit out of me and accused I stole the money there is no possible way I found that much.

Man talk about being in the right place at the right time. What a draw of luck. I bet he still is and was on cloud 9. I sure would be. I’ve watched Jimmy almost from my beginning of this wonderful hobby we are in. Just goes to show that we just never know what’s laying right underneath our feet. Awesome story. Thanks for sharing Matt. And congratulations to Jimmy.

@ 8:15 just below the gold coin at the 6 o'clock position, you can see the edge of another coin sticking up! This is why we always check our dig again; it could be a spill or a horde. Good luck to all you detectorists out there!

What a very humble man, and that's why it was a pleasure to rejoice with him while watching this.

What a great feeling it must be, too. Hold history in your hand..😊

A beautiful story of a very fortunate gentleman!💖

Congratulations as a gold miner and history nut you have hit the jackpot with both of my top passions 👍🏻🇺🇸

Dug one gold coin in my year's of digging but alot of other cool things This is a super hobby

I would bet he found a good bit more than what he has let on about. Just keeping it very quiet to pass down or sell when needed.

This is the stuff we dream about at night!!! Awesome story!!

Watching from Ireland ❤ great story 😊

Sorry to hear about your mom Jim. I lost my sister on my birthday. When I was a teenager back in the 70’s I bought a cheap metal detector at Radio Shack. I searched around the sidewalks in the apartment complex I lived in in Kingsport Tn. I found enough silver coins to pay for that detector twice over. I was hooked. Not long after that I got married and moved to southwest Virginia. My father-in-law and I were digging a hole for my power pole for my mobile home. I look down and thought that was a silver dollar laying there. I was wrong. It was an 8 Reales silver coin, 1829. I did the research of who lives there and it’s so happen to be a confederate who is log cabin hadn’t been burned down in 1864.. they burned him out because he had shot a union soldier so the union soldiers retaliated and burned his place down with him in it. I never gave this much thought until I found a spot down close to the river where I found six union soldiers uniform buttons in a row. I had found a grave of that union soldier.

You are the only person besides myself that I have ever heard of whose mother died on their birthday. My condolences brother. My mother passed Oct. 08 2012. It was my 35th. It made celebrating difficult for awhile. Now I celebrate Her life and the life she gave Me.

Fantastic absolutely fabulous... take a look at 8:19 where the gold came up there's another one just below it hopefully he picked that one up too 👌🖒

Aztec gold?😮😮😮. I would invest in a dive suit, tanks and underwater metal detector.👍🥰😍

Its truely an amazing feeling digging up a gold coin, but multiple and a historical find of that value is crazy! Hopefully one day 😁
