    @silverlicious2086 4 роки тому +1

    Hilarious hunt. All nice finds, Dragoon included, but I have to say Bobby was the star of the show. Barber dime and a cool pocket watch, but LMFAO when he dug a hole 1 foot away from his bazinga surface junk. And then could barely climb into the truck at the end. Ha! Not to mention Billy Buick finding the licence plate. He's either going to find the whole car or build it piece by piece. Stinky stinky. LoL!!

Because my old dirt hunting partner, who I lost back in June.of 2019, had found a DRAGOON COAT BUTTON about 20 yrs. ago here in Delaware!! But, all of you made some GREAT FINDS!! I look forward to future hunts on those same grounds!!

    The strip of metal with a slot in it at 7:30 looks like a hasp. A fixed loop goes through the slot and a padlock is hooked through the loop. It looks slightly curved at the wide end which is where it would have been hinged.

    @moparluvrsgagarage2898 4 роки тому +1

    Kurt I have said it before and gladly repeat it, The HB videos are on par with Curse of Oak Island episodes. meaning its not always about the treasure itself, as much as maybe the story behind it all, such as the Dragoon's. The one button with the "cloverleaf" in the center I am wondering if it might not be of "Irish" decent LOL. Even finding that Gold French coin Kurt was super kewl and I'd love to hear a bit more on it as maybe someone could explain its route to the US. Great 2nd Half And good work to all.

    • @kellyklubek6258
      @kellyklubek6258 4 роки тому +1

      @@thehooverboys According to Osage County Kansas History, Dragoon creek itself is reported to have been named after a troop of dragoons who came over the Santa Fe Trail in the 1850s, and possibly, for a dragoon, Samuel Hunt, whose grave is located just to the west, who was said to have died while crossing the creek. Sounds like a place I need to go check!

    @lesahanners5057 4 роки тому +2

    Lovely hunt guys, always fun hearing about the history too. That was some fine hill country, must have been hellish to march through fully rigged with backpacks on tho. Especially in the summer or winter. From my hubby's grt. grt. grandpa's civil war letters, we learned, tho he was as assistant surgeon with the 11th Indiana Vol. Reg., he was allowed to wear his civilian clothes. But when he made full surgeon he was required to wear his uniform with proper insignia and epaulets. Which means that button you found Kurt, that was civilian in its looks, could still have been worn by an actual soldier.
    by the by ...I sure heard that buck snort there at the last, it was too loud to be barking spiders. ...ha ha ha... "Better out with shame than in with pain," my dad used to say. But that is why, "Old fart", is now more delicately rendered, "Superannuated Bilious Effluvium!"
