@detectingpa8968 I do clean them up, and they have turned out beautifully. I use a dremel with a wire brush, and in less than 10 seconds, they shine like new.
The button at 14:35 is a WWII era army fatigue or coverall uniform button. Since the were bradded on and not sewn, probably most of them got thrown away.
@@detectingpa8968 Those 2 spots on the back would of been the bar that goes on the back. A lot of them would have a molded piece of lead on the back for strength. & heft :)
The thing that you dug up at the end and called a rivet, seems to me to be something else. I saw that it had 13 stars on it, which could represent 13 colonies, and it kind of looked like a wax seal for sealing envelopes. I am no authority on colonial wax seals, but I think it deserves a closer look. It might also be a cuff link with 13 stars. ,
The big round disk at 8:32 from a work horse bridle. There would have been a bar across it and attached to the headstall where the browband met the long side of the the cheek piece.
If a guy goes out and DIGS STUF UP, shouldn't a BRUSH or something and some water to SEE be in order what he's got??? This guy looks under prepared for this kind of hobby! However, I love the history and stories he came up with. I just don't know if it's true!
💥💥💥💥💥Each episode these guys make is looking more like a professionally produced TV series. The historical clips combined with the narration really makes the story. It's part of the adventure now. As a fellow detectorist, I don't often comment on the great finds that you’ve had. Please accept my apologies. I find a lot of good stuff myself. Up here in New England, we find a lot of large cents and old coppers. I'm always impressed with the tableware and miners tags you guys find. I've never found a single miner's tag…..You post a video every Saturday morning and I drink my coffee and eat my egg sandwich watching it…..I'm fascinated watching you guys evolve into something great. Thank you so much!!
Thanks! I think it’s crazy that people outside of western Pa put miners tags at the top of their list for things to find. It’s like finding pull tabs here. lol
It’s definitely more enjoyable with someone else. The finds will come. Research is key. Find those older spots. Speak to elderly folks about where popular hang out spots were. Check old maps, etc.
Agreed! I live on the West Coast and try to find older parks & beach areas where old homes or businesses used to operate. I was shocked one day after digging nothing but clad & cans, a 1900 Silver Barber Quarter popped out. Truly, I didn't even know what it was at first. That gave me hope there was more older items out there to be found. Also, I got my wife to join me on some hunts, but I find hunting by myself very peaceful. Lastly, asking for a permission is kind of like asking a girl on a date... they say "no" a lot, but it thrilling when they say "yes!"
@@KidDig I live in Western Pa and to get someone to let me metal detect is almost impossible. I live in Lawrence Co and people don’t want you on their property. I went out to Maraine State Park in woods and couldn’t find anything.
Moraine is home to a lot of homesites that have since been left to a hole in the ground. Problem with that area is everyone and their brother have hammered that area around the lake.
@@detectingpa8968 you got that right it’s been it extremely hard. I don’t detect in the park anymore because they don’t allow you to dig with anything bigger than a screwdriver 🪛 witch doesn’t work to well
The round item with the "pins" on the back looks like a rosette from a harness bridle
Another great hunt, thank you for sharing
Beautiful spring day and a great hunt. Thanks for taking us along!
Very nice finds. The last button is a WW2 13 star fatigue button. I live near a WW2 training camp and have found hundreds. Another great video!
I had no idea. Do you clean them up any?
I was going to say the same thing, ww2 button and where I find them it’s sand so they come out like new, they have a silver wash to them originally.
@detectingpa8968 I do clean them up, and they have turned out beautifully. I use a dremel with a wire brush, and in less than 10 seconds, they shine like new.
I’ll have to try and clean it up!
Another great video awesome finds keep up the amazing work love your videos stay safe out there lots of love from West Virginia ❤️🙂
Thanks Trish!
Wow, Shawn, we really don't know what hard times are, do we? Watching now guys... 💖💖
We don’t. We have it easy these days
@@detectingpa8968 If you live in America, you are returning to those times soon.
Nice finds my friend and story.
The button at 14:35 is a WWII era army fatigue or coverall uniform button. Since the were bradded on and not sewn, probably most of them got thrown away.
This is why I love comments. You all never cease to amaze me knowing what things are!
@@detectingpa8968 I remember them from my father's WWII Army overalls.
I cleaned it up with a wire wheel. Man it’s beautiful now!
Mining companies would operate stores where miners could purchase goods using their earnings. There may have not been any coinage used.😊
You’re 100% correct. Good bet that’s what this is.
Try a pencil to color in the objects then rub it off and a lot of times it will bring out details
Let’s go let’s go treasure and adventure 👵🌎🌺❤️🎉🇺🇸✌️
That big round thing could be a rossett from horse tack could be post civil war up to the minter hundreds
Seemed more thin than most. But I’d say you’re correct.
The round piece looks like a handsaw rosette another piece would screw into the other side to hold the handle on should be 2 or 3 more around it
The thing with the stars?
8:00, rosette
A rosette maybe?
👍👍
Nice finds, That piece at 8 mins is a rosette, The star button is a WW2 trouser button. Nice hunt !!
Didn’t seem like the piece was substantial enough to be a rosette. It was really thin. You could be right though. Maybe a cheaply made one?

Great hunt Sean. Nice fonds.

under prepared for this kind of hobby! However, I love the history and stories he came up with. I just don't know if it's true!
I carry a brush AND water in my pouch. In field cleaning isn’t going to bring out every detail.
Awesome hunt. Keep diggin 🎉 thank you for the back story. I love hearing about the history of a place and history in general
We love being able to tell the story of the inhabitors. Not every site supplies that.
its always a good day when silver is in the hole congratulations .
Agreed!
8:00 is that a decoder ring??
Yeah that’s a pretty old bridle rosette. A good find if not a button or a coin as far as small, round objects go.
We will take all 3 of those things! lol
That one with the two pins on the back looks like maybe a horse badge?? Or bridal badge??
Exactly what it is.
You share the voice with Kevin Costner. When you reding or telling the story before the videos, I sure thought it was Costner ! So there ya go. Lol
😳 now I’m gonna have to try and mimic his voice to a T. lol
Ty brother god bless you
Yes that last 13 star button was WW2 Army overall button. Good hunt.
Thanks Scott. Yeah, pretty cool. This is why we love the comments telling us what stuff is. 😁
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Great hunt!
The "coin" at 6:00 could be a hard times token or trade token.
Possibly. It was super thin. The hard times tokens I’ve found before were almost always the same thickness as coins.
I found one of the same clasp things as your last find. I believe it's to an old leather bag/briefcase.
Isn’t it weird how a lot of the time it’s the same objects that are always lost?
@detectingpa8968 absolutely. I'm in Vermont. Seems like the things we find are commonly used belongings

Nice hunt, very interesting back story! Thanks for sharing, good luck on your next hunt 👍
We love being able to tell the story of the sites
Awesome finds and story!
Could be a bicycle bell
Very well could be. 😊
Nice finds Shawn! Love those miners tags! Great video and research on the original property owner.
Thanks! I think it’s crazy that people outside of western Pa put miners tags at the top of their list for things to find. It’s like finding pull tabs here. lol
@@detectingpa8968 haha right! I don’t think they existed in New Hampshire!
Nice 👍
Awesome hunt as always. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for the support!
Amazing what you found in that small cleared section?! Mind races at what else it under all that brush & debris... only one way to find out 😊
Hopefully the current farmer dozes it all!
Cool stuff! Nice dozer uncoveringings. The last Rivet was a WWII HBT fatigue button.
Holy crap! You’re right! 😁
Nice get!!!
Crazy how black your soil is down there . Looks like easy digging though.
Forest digging usually supplies the rich soil. Downside is, it also supplies rocks and roots. lol
Satisfying video. Quiet quality. Dogged determination.😊
Thank you for the kind words!
Nice relaxing hunt with great results. Well Done,
Thanks
We love making the videos. Thanks for watching!
Great finds
Always cool stuff. I'll be following you guys.
Glad to have you here!
Great history and hunt, thank you!
Thanks Eric!
Another great episode. Always enjoy hearing the story on the people who once lived there.
Tha round piece with the grapes or cannon balls looks to me like a hand saw handle rosette thhold the wood handle to the saw blade
It’s a WW2 button. I couldn’t believe it after I saw all of the comments…..and thanks Darin!
Another great show Shawn!!!!
Thank you!
Wish I had areas like that to hunt and someone to hunt with. I spend hours hunting by myself and only find clad coins.
It’s definitely more enjoyable with someone else. The finds will come. Research is key. Find those older spots. Speak to elderly folks about where popular hang out spots were. Check old maps, etc.

Please, when you do close ups, stop rotating the artifact. Your video camera can't do a closeup image when the object is moving.
Most of the time when we are rotating it, it’s to find out the correct orientation.
