    Some awesome finds Stef! I had a button spill at a 1700s house that had multiple buttons in a 5 foot area that was 3 different buttons and about 6-8 of each one. It was awesome. Nice hibernia, they are so awesome! Sweet buckle piece too! Wicked happy hunting! 🫂

      @StefDigs  2 місяці тому +1

      @StefDigs thats so much fun! 😆 there's probably a washing board there somewhere 🤣 I got a new permission yesterday and I'm heading there today. Some colonial farm field and the owner has a cellar hole on property that he is going to fill soon! I hunted a field next to it a few years ago and got shoe buckle parts and dandy buttons so I'm hoping that is a good thing for this place!

    Hey Stef very nice Hunt there. Keep showing the Buttons you find please. I won't find any like that hear. Speaker of the Native American Bead is cool. If I read it right the smaller one is from Nevada. Please correct me if I misinterpreted it. I detect in Nevada. The Mid Eastern part of the State. Love the Shoe Buckle piece and that Beautiful Gold Guilted Button. I thought you found that Gold Coin also at first. Nothing like finding a Gold Coin you'll definitely won't forget the feeling. Congrats on the Copper also Stef. Take Care Crazie Digging

    • @StefDigs
      @StefDigs  2 місяці тому +1

      Thank you! Yeah, that smaller one is labeled as being found in Nevada. Their trade era is about 100+ years later than the fur trade era in my area, though. And yes, I thought the button was a gold coin for a minute… 2nd gold coin scare I’ve had in a month. 🙄😂

      Thank you! Truly virgin sites hold dozens upon dozens of buttons - the last virgin site I found, I lost count after I hit 74 buttons I believe? Most coats at the time contained a few dozen buttons alone! Factor in shirts and other garments, and there’s your answer!

    Hey, Stef. Awesome video as always! This is a long shot, but I figured I'd ask... I see you're hitting up fields and woods on a regular basis at all times of the year. How do you keep ticks off of you? I've been visiting some locations near me and I get jumped by ticks almost immediately, even after using tick spray.

    • @StefDigs
      @StefDigs  2 місяці тому +1

      Great question and I have an equally great answer! Sawyer’s Permethrin spray - apply it to your clothes (outside!) and let them dry before you put them on. You can also opt to launder the clothes with a healthy amount of the Permethrin, but I don’t like that idea so I’ve ever done it. I can spray my clothes thoroughly one time and comfortably wear those with confidence for a week while digging. Knock on wood, but I haven’t had a tick latched onto me in over 5 years. Every so often you’ll see one crawling on you anyway, but they’ll typically lose interest. Don’t forget to do your socks and hat, too! I always wear a bucket hat when I’m digging to avoid getting them on my head… to protect my alabaster complexion (the sun doesn’t agree with me 😂).

    • @teed412
      @teed412 2 місяці тому

      @StefDigs Ohh! I've been using Zevo's tick spray but it's not working very well. I had been applying it right before running into the woods though lol. Maybe I need to let it dry, but I'll also try out Sawyers stuff too.
      I totally relate to the complexion 😂 I have a bucket hat type of deal too. Been burnt too many times on my neck to play with the sun anymore.
      Ticks make me nervous, but I guess it's just part of the hobby.
      Thanks for your very detailed reply! Looking forward to your next video, and happy hunting!

    • @StefDigs
      @StefDigs  2 місяці тому +1

      @ you’re welcome! I will swear by Sawyer’s permethrin, always! It’s on the expensive side, but given how many hunts you can get in with one spray down, I’ve found it to be well worth it!
