I never tire of Diggin 3 Ringers or any bullets. Love to hunt those old fields! Always Love digging Half Dimes, folks don’t realize how small they are!
The small domed peice with the 2 spikes on the back is a leather adornment the would push the spikes through the leather and bend them over to keep it attached most likely off of a wagon or stage coach bridal set...
Your history is awesome. I wish New Zealand had more of this, but alas we are so young and boring hahahaha. One day I'd love to do some American digging
Your old lock is from the railroad late 1800s I'd would be on top latch it's A switch lock I found about 5 in Wisconsin keep digging. Copper joe medal detecating
I love old lock plates and wheaties! Fantastic finds. That button from Paris is a real unique find to be excited about and your bullets were great. All your finds were great😁👍 Awesome video 🌟New Subscriber🌟
15:14 I know some people are just like "it's a piece of silver with a hole in it" but if you look closer you can see the history behind it. So, it appears the person who punctured the hole in it, didn't get a perfect punch, I think a piece was left connected to it and they may have used pliers to pull it off, you can see the notch on the circle from where someone yanked the punched silver part out! But why would someone puncture it? To me, I'd say it was something special that someone wanted to make a necklace out of. The etchings on it are too perfectly aligned to be accidents. They say there's no straight line in nature, let alone 2. This is the most interesting piece you've found! I would love to get the analyzed by a professional! Start a kickstarter, and I'll gladly chip in a few bucks just to know more!
@@IDigHistory nah thank you! it's really cool to see someone actually enjoying history and literally digging treasure! thanks for what you do cant wait to you find that buried knights templar chest of treasure :D
The domed brass item is a stud. They’re used for decoration on leather items usually. It’s a larger one, so it probably came off of horse tack? Great finds!
Thank you for getting back to me. I plan on metal detecting a 500 acre farm sometime soon, I will let you know what I find. I’m also looking for a better metal detector, with better discrimation.
why keep asking "what is it" when all you have to do is wash it and find out... LMAO... I can't do it for you...😉... Ok... so you keep showing blurry images of mud covered stuff and asking "what is that"... why don't you JUST CLEAN IT AND SHOW US... at 8 min. I'm already bored... hope you find what you're looking for...
I believe the smooth silver coin with the hole in it might be a 3 cent piece, from 1865 or later. At 14:33 in the video, you can see what looks like part of the wreath on the left that would surround the three capital III's. The image near the middle that looks like the base of a pedestal, would be one of the three III's. On the other side of the coin, you can see on the right near the edge, what looks like it might be the back of Liberty's hair, the part with her hair in a bun with a ribbon around it. The part in the middle that looks like an indent, could be her ear. If you can get a better angled light on it, and compare it to the images (or a real coin if you can get hold of one) of an 1865 3 cent piece, you'd better be able to tell if that's what it is. It's so worn, and there's so much scarring, it's hard to tell in the video what might be a feature or just a scar. Interesting find though.
Appreciate the comment! I think it's too big for a trime. I've dug one before and it's a bit larger than the trime, it's the exact size as a half reale though. Thanks either way!
There are several websites where you can view old topographic maps, in some cases depending on your area, going back to the early 1800's. On a site like historic aerials, these maps have been geo-rectified so you can grab a lat/long and throw it in your GPS and away you go. It's pretty cool.
Much appreciated! I would say one of the most important things you can do starting out is really focus on learning your machine. Watch youtube videos about it, do test swings with different examples of targets in your yard, put iron near your targets to learn how it affects your signals. Dig pretty much everything for a while, until you get confident. Focus on places you have easy access to, your own yard, neighbors, family, parks, etc. If you haven't watched my tutorial about how to find older places and get permission, I would give it a watch. Other than those things, be patient, very patient. You'll dig lots of trash, but just think of it as training. It's a great hobby!
Around oregon its hard to find spots that uavent been detected before and im still hoping to find my first indian this year. So far my oldest coin that i dug was a 1914 wheat penny.
New to the channel from Central Florida. Awesome digs and love the presidential token. There was a nearby fort that Z. Taylor was in during the Seminole Indian War. Unfortunately, it’s been plowed over and now a big subdivision but there’s a marker by the road.
Thinking about getting hit by one of the civil war mini-balls...If you don't die on impact, the recovery process is usually accompanying infection... That's why amputation was the standard medical first aid on the battlefield....☠️😢
Looks like you’re in a great location. I started hunting in the 70’s I heard people would throw their bullets down. They wanted the buttons , belt buckles , guns and rifle parts.
I'm glad you mentioned electrolysis because that's exactly what I was thinking. I clean vintage cast iron skillets with an e-tank. That's the only way I know to clean old metal without degrading it.
If you go to my Shorts, the very first one I posted is how the shotgun turned out. If you're interested. I only started posting Shorts a few weeks ago, so there's not many of them.
@@IDigHistory Yes sir.... looks like off a tricycle or something like that .. or anything with a simple cap at the end of a axle... little red wagon? Looking again... The size is a bit small judging by your hand and the size of it in comparsion... sorry about that...
I enjoy your videos very much. the round brass thing with ears looks like Saddle Brass, decoration for leather or a saddle. or horse bridle.
Thanks, Daniel! Appreciate the ID too!
I never tire of Diggin 3 Ringers or any bullets. Love to hunt those old fields! Always Love digging Half Dimes, folks don’t realize how small they are!
For sure! And they are tiny. Appreciate you watching!
Are you in Texas? Why would there be a 44 Mexican coin in that field? Great hunt.
Thanks! No, west TN. Just never know what's going to pop out.

Thank you! Great to have a Kiwi tuning in! Gotta be something there worth digging I'd bet.
some nice finds enjoyed watching
Thanks! Appreciate you watching and dropping a comment.
Great video! Living vicariously through videos like this while I impatiently wait for spring here in SE MN. Jim Parry, Backroads Metal Detecting
Thanks, Jim! Appreciate you leaving a comment and hope it's an early spring for yall!
I hear you! There is a field in Deleno MN that I want to detect, but of course its still very covered in snow
Nice hunt, the round cap next to the 4-holes buttons looks like a wind cap from a Tobacco pipe. Kenny
Thanks! And thanks for the ID tip!
Great finds.

back then they burred valuable things like money in the wagon tracks so the indians couldn't see where they dug .
The domed brass item is a stud. They’re used for decoration on leather items usually. It’s a larger one, so it probably came off of horse tack? Great finds!
Awesome, thanks for the ID! And thanks for watching 👍
3:52 brass stud for leather maybe off an old wood trunk with leather straps may be full of old silver?😂

Lots of great relics my friend! Congrats and thanks for sharing. Good to see you back in action.
Thanks, Joe. Much appreciated.
I'm glad that you're not one of these people that put new coins out an make it look like your surprised to find them. Thumbs up bud.
Nice and interesting . Thanks my friend .
Thanks Kenneth 👍
28:05 Damn, I would have passed that by, it looks like a prison chit. I must be institutionalized.
OMG! a detectorist that cleans his hands AND his fingernails?!?
I am about to pass out! :)
🤣🤣
Just saw your video for the first time. Congratulations on just hitting 1000 subs😊. Enjoyed it to the end.
Wow thanks! Appreciate that very much.
Great show! What a variety. The Dragoon button pic on your home page is what catches my eye. Good luck.
Thanks Johnny! Yeah, those dragoons are hard to come by!
Some cool bits up cracking hunt u legend allways 👍 from tezza
Thanks as always!!
Great hunt my friend 👏👍. Nice piece of Silver for the first 👍. Keep swinging 👌👍👏🇺🇸
Thanks! 👊👍
Great history
Thank you!
That's a railroad lock. Sometimes you will find the markings on the hasp or the thumb latch which both are missing. Enjoyed your video.
Awesome, thank you!

How would one go about finding wagon trails?
There are several websites where you can view old topographic maps, in some cases depending on your area, going back to the early 1800's. On a site like historic aerials, these maps have been geo-rectified so you can grab a lat/long and throw it in your GPS and away you go. It's pretty cool.
@@IDigHistory thanks for the tip
Escutcheons. That is the name for" lock plates"

There you go 😍😍😍 Haven’t seen you in a while. Hope all is well. Great looking property 😊
Thanks Steven! Appreciate you watching and commenting as always. I'm looking forward to getting back to this place for sure.
Truly enjoy your channel. I will be digging a 500 acre farm soon, was told it had an old Grist Mill and an old Indian encampment.
Thank you! That sounds amazing! Holler if you need some help!
That button my be a sportsman button. Great finds and video.
Will take another look! Thanks!
Loved your video Loved it so much I subscribed
Wow, thanks, Mary! Much appreciated 🙏
You found some great stuff. The spur parts and the lock were my favorites. Good area you got there
Thanks man!
The pelican button might be a Jacksonian button. I’m just learning about them but looks similar to me but if so you’re looking at 1830-1840ish.
The variety of finds in that field is awesome! Great video! Just subscribed!
Thanks Steve! Really appreciate that.
super great hunt! I love those old locks. Great review of all the finds at the end.
Thank you!
...maybe that old broken lock was on a 'strong box' that was broken off by the robbers that stole it 🤠...
Exactly what I was thinking 😁
What was your second silver? I bet not brag about my 6oz of silver found so far this year tho lol
It's a half reale, can't get a date though.
Your centavos is equal to one cent more or less.
I agree with Daniel kermey
Around oregon its hard to find spots that uavent been detected before and im still hoping to find my first indian this year. So far my oldest coin that i dug was a 1914 wheat penny.
What kind of sites are you hunting at? Gotta be some older sites there somewhere, no?
@@IDigHistory old neighborhood houses
20:45 First thing that came to mind Was it was smashed off a strong box while being robbed from a wagon train ! Yes ))
How cool would that be! Fun to imagine the story.
How about pointing the camera at the scenery instead of our face?
👍
It was very common for poeple to poke a hole in an Indian vent for a key fob, just an idea
I actually have a specimen, but can’t post a pic, sorry 🙂
Good work. The centavo is silver, yes?
No, its copper or bronze
Yeekee bullet 3 rings
Makes me want to rob the batteries from my smoke detectors for my metal detector. My property is near a civil war battle.
Lol, go do it! There's treasure to be dug there I'm sure!
New to the channel from Central Florida. Awesome digs and love the presidential token. There was a nearby fort that Z. Taylor was in during the Seminole Indian War. Unfortunately, it’s been plowed over and now a big subdivision but there’s a marker by the road.
Very cool! You should see if you can get some permissions for yards or around the edges of the subdivision. Thanks for watching!
I hate show and tell. I watch to see you swing the detector for reality not just show and tell.
Appreciate the feedback. Less talking, more digging. I get it.
thanks
Wonderful! What state was this in?
I metal detect mostly in the western Tennessee area.
The money tokens I believe we're used to pay miners and used in the mining company store only.
great stuff brother ! hit the all notifications 🔔 bell ! love seeing the bullets come out and half dime . 💥👍🤠🏴☠️
Thanks man! Much appreciated 👊
Great finds brother
Thanks 👊
That's my dream is to metal detecting old pioneer trail and heavily used old wagon trails some day
I got one
Thinking about getting hit by one of the civil war mini-balls...If you don't die on impact, the recovery process is usually accompanying infection... That's why amputation was the standard medical first aid on the battlefield....☠️😢
It was a gruesome way to die for sure. Limb loss was extremely common.
The Z Taylor could be part of a gas station give away...Part of a presidential medals collection for the customers.....???
Interesting, do you have a reference for it? I'm thinking it's a good bit older than gas stations.
Very interesting mate. Looking forward to watching more of your channel. Sending best wishes from across the pond over in England 🏴
Awesome! Thanks for watching. Hope all is well for you over there. Been through your neck of the woods several times, always enjoyable.
Wonderful video. Just Sub to your channel.
Thank you! Much appreciated.
What state are you from please
@Corey Smith I live in western Tennessee, but detect in several states in the South
You need too set up camp and stay there for two days
No doubt!
Interesting the oiler piece, my hometown is Tacoma, Washington. Not sure if the two are related. Cool stuff!!
Thanks!
Excellent work brother!!
That is an amazing hunt.. Great job. What state do you live in? Nice job with the video's too
Thank you! Appreciate that. I detect mostly in western TN.
Nice finds. That brass 1/2 cylinder thing looks like part of a civil war tent line tensioner.
You're exactly right, thanks!
Called a spot. Lots of harnesses used them. I still use them for leatherwork and they haven’t changed at all.
Awesome. Thanks for the info!
My first time to view you.
Thanks for watching!
Neat video...BRAVO ! I also like to find old silver coins and old artifacts. Been at it for over 38 years and still love it.
That's awesome, always good to hear from fellow hobbyists! Thanks for watching.
Buggy break piece
Awesome, thanks
How do you find your spots
Lots of research. I actually made a little tutoria epsiodel on how I do it, if you look back between episodes 33 and 34 you see it. Hope it helps!
I've went looking in places where people visited in the past and never find coins like this dude make skeptical about him finding certain things
Sorry you haven't found anything, but dont give up! It's a great hobby.
Great video, I came across your video as I was surfing you tube, love your finds
Thanks Janet! Appreciate that.
What state are you in?
western Tennessee
Your diversity of finds is fantastic! Thanks, looking forward to future hunts.
Thanks!
Love your video! I love metal detecting! Your finds are so cool!
Thank you!
Hello, the small domed brass piece may be harness or bridal decoration.
Awesome, thanks for the tip!
The Lock is an Eagle Lock, late 1800’s. Wisconsin Lockman
Awesome, thanks for the ID! Much appreciated.
@@IDigHistory glad to help. I have my own UA-cam channel also. I own Ground View Metal Detectors and Chippewa Valley Lock & Key in Chippewa Falls, WI.
a lot of work for those finds! good job! L and Sub'd!
Much appreciated, Ronald! Thanks for watching and following along 👍
New sub nice dig! Is the edge of your holed silver reeded?
Thanks for the sub! No, it's not reeded. 99% sure it's a half reale.
Cool find.
Looks like you’re in a great location. I started hunting in the 70’s I heard people would throw their bullets down. They wanted the buttons , belt buckles , guns and rifle parts.
Wow, I'd never throw a bullet down, but I do love finding the other stuff too!
@@IDigHistory I never threw one away neither. It’s like holding history in your hands.
I'm glad you mentioned electrolysis because that's exactly what I was thinking. I clean vintage cast iron skillets with an e-tank. That's the only way I know to clean old metal without degrading it.

Wish I was out detecting right now!
Same here! Will be tomorrow!

I appreciate that!! Been stuck in the 900s for awhile lol
Good stuff
