- In this week’s episode, I’m back at the virgin cellar I discovered in last week’s video! If you haven’t seen last week’s metal detecting adventure, you may want to check it out here first: • I’m SPEECHLESS! Metal ...
The Minelab Manticore unearthed what has GOT to be my creepiest find to date… but it’s creepy in the BEST possible way! Not to mention, of course I dug plenty more old relics and rounded out the day with a 300 year old coin - it was an awesome day of metal detecting in the woods! Metal detecting a virgin site is what dreams are made of, and this return trip is one of many more that you will see in upcoming videos. Enjoy!

You covered your middle name! Lol. Most people keep it a secret.
Bored? LOL! There are so many types of buttons, usually from a particular time period. About the clock. Something sticks in my memory about mourning jewelry concerning clocks. But No matter, the connection to you is clear enough. Very exciting dig, not a dull second.
Thank you! I actually looked up the time of death for some founding fathers to see if the watch commemorated anybody famous - not to my knowledge. Whatever the case, I’m so happy to have found something that perpetuates my belief in finding what we are meant to find!
Stef, that toy watch is so cool. I love that it has a personal connection to you. Thanks , Scott
Thanks Scott! I love it, too! 😊
It was a positive sign you found it, your making history by finding their history☮
I like that - making history by finding their history! 😊
That pocket watch was mind blowing. So very cool.
Thank you! It’s got to be the craziest personal item I’ve ever dug, because now it’s not just their personal item, it’s mine! 😄
Oh my….what the HECK!?!? That is SO FASCINATING! I’M STUNNED!
Hahaha, I know, I still can’t get over it! 😂
That toy watch finds speaks volumes to how and why things are meant to happen. Good Friday, 2004, I get a beautiful silver signal at my fav park, turns out to be a silver crucifixion bust of Jesus. Meant so much to me I had it tattooed on my arm. Your find, with the time set exactly as your time of birth- someone watching over you for sure and that find was just a reinforcer- AMAZING find Stef- Congrats!!
Thank you! This hobby is pure magic (and aluminum, and nails, and… 😂). Really, though, it never ceases to amaze me what we find in the ground! Awesome story about your crucifixion bust!
Nice work Stef!!!
Thank you! 😊
Buttons and a copper gotta love it!!!
Always! 🤘🏻
Cool find Stef!
Thanks Brian! Gave my heart a jumpstart when I found my birth certificate!
Wow that little watch is cool when I first seen it I was thinking toy but to have your birth time on there that is kind of spooky and cool at the same time, great video
Thank you! Definitely spooky and awesome all at once - I love it! 😊
Best is yet to come 👍
That’s always the hope! 😁🤘🏻
How the heck could I forget about the time of birth relic... That thing is friggin awesome!!!
Isn’t that crazy?! Easily one of the strangest things that’s ever happened to me while detecting.
@@StefDigs crazy awesome for sure
Nice job Stef!
Thank you! 😊
The universe works in amazing ways.
It really does! Such a crazy thing to find!
Great hunt I don't mind seeing you dig buttons love your channel 😀
Thank you! Good thing, because many more buttons are on the way. 😂
Nice!
Thank you! 😊
Wow that’s freaky, but so cool. Awesome hunt Stef :))
Thank you! Definitely the cool type of creepy, for sure!
What the heck that was so fricking awesome
Haha, thanks Dwight! You never expect this type of thing to happen! 😂
I don't believe in coincidence....that was ment for you to find!!
Sweet Digs Girl !!!
100%! Mathematically speaking, the likelihood of me finding that piece is almost impossible. Crazy!
Congratulations on some amazing finds, Stef! I think your first impression of the being a mourning button is correct. Best wishes and happy digging (fingers crossed for an early spring). Dave.
Thanks Dave! I do think it’s likely mourning-related, too. The fact that I could only find one example online (with the pretense that it was for sale and the information could be way off) tells me there’s more to this piece than meets the eye.
That is friggen cool!
Thank you! I can definitely say that’s never happened before! 😂
Great video Stef keep it up 😀
Thanks Neil! 🤘🏻
Anything old is great!👌
Amen to that!
What a great hunt, congratulations on all the awesome finds! That toy pocket watch with your birth time is SICK! Enjoyed the hunt, good luck on your next one! 👍😎
Thank you! I still can’t get over that find - absolutely insane!
Hey Stef! Nice finds, and of course, the clock face is the best. No coincidence. Maybe someone who lived on that property has an 1128 date or time?
Thank you! Must be - either that, or there is zero significance since it’s supposedly a toy, but I doubt it. I would imagine the time is significant - at least it certainly is for me! 😊
Hey Stef Great Hunt and dig all those Buttons I love looking at them. Alot of the Buttons you find I won't find where I'm at. I enjoy looking at the back marks and the ones you find with designs on the front. Congrats on the Copper and Thimble. That watch you found is one of the coolest things I've seen you dig up. Congrats I agree you were meant to find that. Take Care Stef
Thank you! It was a great day, and that watch has really had my head spinning since I found it!
Coincidence, I think not! You finding that time piece was meant for you to be the one to find it!
It must have belonged to an ancestor of yours! You never know. I'm looking forward to what else you find, hopefully a bucket lister. Keep on digging Stef.✌️😊
Thank you! I agree, that can’t be a coincidence. What’s funny is that I used to detect at a nearby site several years ago, and I always got a spooky “being watched” feeling. Maybe the ghosts of the family who lived in this area like me! 😆 Much more to come from here!
The average colonial flat button is about five bucks. Average mercury dime is about $2.50. So there's that... Happy Hunting! 😁
Haha, I guess if you think of it that way… 😆
WOW Stef ... what an incredible find and story to go with it! Congrats!
Thank you! Was an awesomely strange one!
Awesome buttons Stef. Did you step into the twilight zone and find the watch.
Thank you! Sometimes it sure feels like I did step into the Twilight Zone, haha!
Button kinda day! I never get bored digging buttons. Love them. Woah… 11:28pm baby! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 So frkn cool! Nice “Mr Reliable” and thimble as you try to leave. 😆 Been meaning to ask about your thumb placement…Are you actually pressing a pp button or just the way you hold it as you show the ID? Curious. Awesome vid 👍🏼
Thank you! It was such a crazy find, I couldn’t even believe it. I’m actually just holding the machine that way sometimes, haha. Keeps it a bit more steady in my right hand when I’ve got a camera in the left! 😊
That’s a crazy ! Pretty cool 😎! Way to go ! Yes ma’am ! We find what we are meant to ! That is a great fitting statement . That gave me god bumps . Happy hunting !
Thank you! It’s insane what we can find in the ground - it’s a reinforcement that everything happens for a reason, that’s for sure!
@@StefDigs yes ma’am , that’s AUsome ! I felt that when you said we find what we’re meant to . Keep up the great work !
@@scarsprospecting “AUsome,” I love that! This is coming from someone who can’t even pan for gold effectively. 😆
@@StefDigs maybe I’ll send you a pan and some Colorado paydirt from the gold claim . Get your panning skills up !
@@scarsprospecting I don’t know if you have met Debbie Smikoski from Minelab, but she is my team leader over there. She’s the one who so patiently tried to teach me to pan, and she’s a great teacher, but I just don’t have the “finesse”. 😆 You’d think I would be more into gold and give it the time of day! I used to collect gems and minerals before I got into detecting, hah! Maybe at the next event I’ll finally get the hang of it. 😂
Such an amazing peice of history! Very cool!
Thank you! I still can’t believe it!
Welcome back and congrats on finding that little watch! TBH it kind of gave me chills when you showed what time you were born. It was definitely meant to be found by you! Did you determine if the attached piece was actually an urn like you thought? Personal items like that are so much more interesting to me than just finding a coin. I would love to know the story behind the piece but we'll have to settle for "It was lost for Stef to find.". Awesome awesome video!!! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! It was such an insane find, truly unbelievable and definitely meant for me! 😄 The little piece that was attached either depicts an urn or a flower pot, but it’s tough to say which because pewter doesn’t hold up well at all, unfortunately. The prize was of course the pocket watch, though!
I agree that the prize was the pocket watch. I'm so glad you found it and know it'll be something you cherish! ❤
@@StefDigs
@@elisabethcole2571 thanks! Still coming up with a display for it.
Well that is a neat find and I don't think it was meant to spook you after all Stef you shake hands with ghosts and I am sure they are pleased to meet you 😉🇨🇦
Haha, thanks! I really can’t believe it, though - SO bizarre. I think the ghosts of this family are happy to have some company at their old homesite. 😊
Great hunt Stef!!! Got the goodies today! Congrats! 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Was a great day!
Never boring, when you find stuff, it's a great time..
Thank you! Agreed! 😊
Spooky😵💫little toy watch! I was horseback riding found a cemetery out in the woods tied up my horse, was drawn to a grave stone had the same birth date same age, died by a horse kick to the head at age 16. I left immediately.
Whoa! That’s nuts! I’m not sure if I would’ve left or stayed! 😂
Danggg , crazy
Right?! 😳
Cool Finds Nice video. Congrats
Thanks Mark! 😊
Great video.
Thanks for watching! 😊
Play those numbers.
Haha, that’s not a bad idea! 😆
Spookily cool find Stef. Really happy for you. How buttons can save the day hey🤣🤣. Glad you got a coin to finish on. Well done. Take care mate 🦘🦘😁👍
Thanks Andrew! The watch definitely made the day worthwhile - I can guarantee I’ll never find another just like it! 😂
Great video with lots of sweet finds.
Thank you! Was such a creepy cool day!
Amazing Steff!
Thank you! Was a banner day!
@@StefDigs I say!
We said, " Huge !" At the same time. On the big dandy button. Lol ❤😂
Haha, awesome! 😂
wow Stef, what a crazy and awesome hunt you had. Love all the old buttons and relics you found. The watch piece was so cool and I was able to find out something new. We both share the same birthday. All the best John.
Thanks John! Was an awesome day, and the watch was creepy and amazing! Cheers, birthday twin! 🍻 I must know over half a dozen people who share our birthday! 😂
Its a great day to have. @@StefDigs
Show Buttons ANYDAY!
Right on! I always will! 😊
@@StefDigs Just can’t wait to get mine! Darn UPS 😡
@@jaydigshistory36 Right?! That’s literally NEVER happened, I’m really frustrated for you. 😡 Keep me posted via email, I hope UPS sorts it out VERY soon! 🤞🏻
No coincidences 🤷♂️
It’s got to be mathematically almost impossible, what happened, lol! Crazy!
Ha..... I'm 3-21-77
Haha, awesome! It seems like a disproportionate amount of the population has late March birthdays. What’s that say about our parents? 😂
