Return to Lynyrd Skynyrd Crash Site Metal Detecting 2020 (Minelab Vanquish)

This is the return to the Lynyrd Skynyrd crash site metal detecting in March 2020 using the new Minelab Vanquish metal detectors. During this second trip we have an incredible and unbelievable find from the crash location of the Convair CV-240 which was the last flight of the southern rock and roll band Lynyrd Skynyrd. The flight went down on October 20, 1977 and took with it band members Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines, assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick as well as Pilot Walter McCreary and co-pilot William Gray. It would be remiss to not remember the pilot and co-pilot who lost their lives in this tragedy, as well. Lynyrd Skynyrd had multiple-hit southern rock classics such as Free bird, Sweet Home Alabama, and Tuesday's Gone. The History Seekers have never sold any of their relics and that remains true in the case of this dig. #lynyrdskynyrd #MinelabVANQUISH #UnearthVANQUISH

We would like to thank Debbie Smikoski from Minelab for bringing the new Vanquish 440 and Vanquish 540 Pro Pack for us to test on this historic dig. Link in pinned comments for more info on the Vanquish.
