  • Hey guys, glad to be back with another video. On this hunt Garrett and I metal detect an 1860s Cavalry camp along the Smoky Hill Trail. This was a similar trail to the famous Oregon Trail, but this one led to the gold fields of Colorado. Lots of military artifacts were uncovered and I find a first for me!

    Congratulations on the keeper I've been carrying my sword plate while I hunt for three years hoping to match one up. I'm in Kansas down on the Santa Fe Trail. The plate has brought me good luck hope the keeper will bring you good luck and maybe you'll match one up to. Congratulations again nice fines.

      Thanks Jimmy. I’ve been hunting the Oregon Trail mostly for over 2 years now, we’ve hit some pretty good sites but this is still the first keeper I have ever seen come out of the ground. Keepers and plates are rare indeed but we will see what happens at future hunts here.
