Metal Detecting finds strange Silver Ring & old kids' toys searching for lost homesteads

- While metal detecting one of our better home permissions earlier this year, the homeowner said he also owned a large 2 acre field behind his house. He heard rumors that there use to be a homestead in this field back in the 1800s and that we were more than welcome to search around. Well you don't have to tell me twice, so Doug and I hit the old fields with machines in hand and tried to find the old site. After about an hour or so we started finding things that would only be around an area like this. Here's some highlights of the hunt.

I think you had an awesome hunt at the old field. As stated in my early American silver book, ALL SILVER from EARLY AMERICA WAS MARKED 'COIN' ONLY, NO other markings were used, unless US Silversmiths at the time tried to pass off their works as being from the UK, France or Spain to get more $$$ for their pieces. The ring you found could be from the era of mid 1700's to early 1800's. Also, I LOVE that Tootsie plane.....AMAZING!
Thanks Ken. I’ve never dug a piece with the “coin” marking before so I’m really happy to have it. At the time I never would have guessed it was even 20 years old let alone 200. That’s the beauty of the hobby though.
Oscar the Grouch is what you wanted! lol You always make me smile Jason!
Cool finds! My 91 year old dad, has collected tools,, for an incredible amount of years,, he has about 5 of those saw handles, the are so neat. Any time you find a few toys,, it's a good day! Also, a great token!
The best couple of friends diggers on you tube ! Thanks for sharing again ! 😊👍👍👍
All the old kids toys were really neat. The airplane especially! Great location as always
Cool little hunt! Cool finds! That Aluminum thing with the holes was from an old tea strainer..i have a stainless one just like it..
That's the first TootsieToy airplane I've even seen! How special is that knowing that the last child to play with that is probably 90 years old now.
Cool finds Jason, still think its much colder here..lol Love that old casino token, well done and congrats. atb Michael
The little flattened siver piece with drain holes is the bottom of a tea ball. It had a lid with a chain with a little hook to attach to the cup lip. People used them before tea bags but can probably be purchased today for loose tea.
Digging season is over here in PA, we've had multiple days with snow already. So now i live vicariously thru your videos till spring. Love that tootsie airplane👍
Sorry to hear about the weather killing your season. We’ll try to find extra cool things and dedicate them to you!
That ring is probably 200 years old! Fantastic find on the airplane too.
I know u liken those cars and the plane. Wow! Lots of cool relics!
Some great finds. Lots of fun too. Its really hot here at the moment. 43 degrees C, which is about 110 degrees F. Keep the coil to the soil. Cheers
Holy cow, 110! I miss summer diggin....?🙂
Such amazing finds!! The places you hunt are fantastic. I get excited when you find something. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you Dawn!
Nice hunt Guy's. The ring is known as coin silver. Some jewelers back in the 17 / 1800s would melt coins to make silver rings and traveling trade wagons would sell them in villages and homesteads. Very cool find Jason. Congrats on the finds! GL & HH!
Thanks Tim!
Coin silver is 90% or less. That ring may be older than 1868 when sterling was adapted as the purity standard and silver was marked as such or with 925. ( I think). Cool find.
It does stand for coin silver.
Great hunt Jason. That coin silver ring was a really nice find, that has some age to it!
Thanks for sharing your hunt and finds. Glad you returned for the flippers off the puddle jumper lmbo. I always enjoy watching. Take care.
Thanks. I actually epoxied the flippers and back part of the plane back on so it is once again complete. Now it just needs a little paint touch up, well a lot actually. lol.
Love the Tootsie plane. The thimble shape thing I believe is the top of a salt or pepper shaker some were pointed and some were round
Great digs Quarter Hoarder. I'm going with cannon shot as well on the large lead ball.
Really neat finds!
I remember playing with a plane like the one you found at my grandma's house when I was growing up back in the 60's.
That’s the coolest thing about kids toys, they bring back the best memories.
Nice hunt with some cool finds. Thanks for sharing them.
More great finds Jason! Neat toys and awesome coin silver ring!
Thanks Dewayne!
Awesome finds as usual! I’m excited as you when I’m watching you hunt! Great video!!
the perforated item bullet shaped is a tea steeper. You would but tea in it and place it inside a tea pot, discard the tea when finished and refill with new tea as needed. tea used t not come in tea bags but was loose.
I can hardly wait until the day when I'll be physically able to get back out detecting. It's been 6 long years now waiting. BUT THANK to y'all I get to watch and remember that feeling of what the sound I just heard will produce when I dig it up.... Even the trash at one time was a treasure to the person who bought what ever was in the can or wrapper. So ever dig is really a treasure it just might not be the treasure we're looking for. even a old rusty nail was a treasure that held two boards together at one time... Yes laying here almost every day gives me a lot of time to think and focus on busy life I had before the wreck. I see how much I missed out on because I was to busy. I always looked forward the times I could slip away and go out detecting. I never got to go out like y'all get to because my time was under the demand of others just because I see now that I allow others to warp up my time... OKAY I'm rambling thanks for a fun video... Be blessed... BBE
Sorry to hear about your wreck Bobby. I hope you’re able to get back out again! Thanks for stopping by buddy
I thought it might be a cannonball you found and based on the other comments below, it is! Congratulations on that amazing piece of history!
the gun like handle is from a saw that has removable blades, you can switch to metal or wood blades, finish or rough, Common trade name is a key hole saw.
Very nice hunt I love that buckle it has some interesting nice fancy on it
Ah, those childhood stories of Union General Bob Bally marching through Manassas. Brings me back to a simpler time. lol
Loved the coin silver ring. You really like finding those toys.
Thanks. That ring turned out to be much older than I would have guessed!
You made me cold just watching this video. Lol. Cool finds Jason. Take care and HH. Jim
Thanks Jim.
Great Finds Jason Thanks AL Happy Holidays
7:33 That banana. Circa 1880's lol. Good hunt!
Salt or pepper shaker top.
You’re probably right. Not sure why I didn’t see that.
Sometimes it takes fresh eyes 😉
@@QuarterHoarder it is positively the bottom of a metal tea infuser. It would have been egg shaped with a chain at the top. Its for loose tea not pre packaged in little bags. You can still buy them.
Scott - more likely to be a sugar shaker ... too big for most salt...
Jan Vafa I’ve seen salt & pepper shakers that were over 2 inches across.
Great hunt Jason, but you're a trooper digging in the cold like that..lol. I'm not a big fan of the cold.. That red Tootsie truck looks like it was in a front end collision! Cool finds, see you on the next one.. GL and HH!
I’m not a huge fan of the cold either, but whatcha gonna do. Let’s hope for a quick spring!
Well done! Thanks for that! Rox
Very old ring . Such a cool find..... If that ring could talk....
12:17.... looks like iron meteorite. I’ve got a few that look like it one called Odessa from Texas. My Fisher F-75 SE will detect meteorites. So I hunt relics and meteorites while I’m out.
Nice job! love the enthusiasm as always.
Great job bud, nice finds too as usuall.. got those killer permissions Jason..coin is 90% silver thats a great find brother! keep up the great work!! HH -Ray
Great hunt buddy!! Reminds me of a lot of my detecting areas lol! Can't wait until next video! Also I'm ready for another live Christmas giveaway!!! Those are the best!!!
Thanks for the videos I love washing them
Thanks Chevy
I agree with another comment that the ring is probably 90% silver and that the "cap" is the top of a salt or pepper shaker. Nice finds.
Very cool finds! Love your vids! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks Judith!
You find the coolest stuff! Fantastic!
Thanks SJ!
That salt shaker top really looks more like a bottle topper. Back in the 50s my mom had one that screwed to a bottle and filled with water. Used to shake water on clothes for ironing. The holes look too small for salt or pepper
Great dig Jason love that old coin silver ring and the plane. Some really awesome finds. Thanks for sharing. Until next time HH&GL *Chris*
Nice hunt, bring on the next one
Great hunt brother!!!! Keep on digging.
Thanks Leo!
Awesome finds! Love the old toys...especially the airplane ✈️! Super cool token too! Happy Hunting my friend! ~ Gypsy
The metal filter thingy you thought was a coffee strrainer is a tea thingy. Lol.
Tea thingy? Is that its official name? 🙂
@@QuarterHoarder umm Yeah? AND I'M STICKING TO THAT... lol.
Tea strainer ball thingamajiger
Sweet find on that coin ring. I concur that it is 90% silver and most likely 19th century.
That's one old ring!
Prior to the general adoption of sterling silver as the standard of purity in 1868, silver was generally obtained from the melting of coins. Since these could vary considerably in purity, from around .750 millesimal fineness to around .900, silver known as "coin silver" varies in purity. Silver at that time was sometimes marked "COIN" or "PURE COIN",
Found that same Ballys token about 20 years ago in Va Beach. From the 50s.
Coin silver, made from a silver coin. 9:30 is a salt shaker lid. Maybe sterling and the little red toy truck is an older firetruck... Cool finds, HH!!
The salt shaker lid looked more like a tea leaf infuser to me.
Thanks Mud!
Very interesting discoveries. Congratulations on the discoveries. See you on your next video.
Any coins are good coins, even if they are wheaties 😉 It's cold, windy, and grey here too, but we got 5" of snow along with it!
Oh jeez. Stay warm!
Cool finds as always, what a great looking piece of property !!!!
Thanks.
great video as always quarter hoarder!
Good job Jason. That ring is old and very cool. Thanks for sharing brother. Good luck and happy hunting.
Thanks Cain!
I thought the saw handle was a gun at first too. The Pa date lists it from the late 1930's though.
good hunt love the tootsie toys!
Thanks. I’m a big Tootsie fan myself!
that small second item you showed at the recap is a block and tackle piece for small rope or wire q. h. .
Thanks Marcel!
Another amazing video I love this channel 👍☘
Thanks!
Oscar the Grouch was the Sesame Street character in the garbage can
That’s the puppet. I blanked out for a second. Thanks.
could that led ball be a bearing or a tractor tire ? and if that squished bit you said might be a strainer if it's not a top to a salt or pepper container it kinda looks like a tea leaf strainer :) nice finds thanks for sharing
Very cool. Keyhole hacksaw handle, pat applied for 1937, granted 1938. Nice Tootsie plane. Bally's has been around since 1979.
Thanks Charlie. I found the same info on the US patent site. Thought it was a cap gun at first.
Awesome silver!
Lol. Is it still opened? Hehe. 👍
I think it's old. And...was it the canon ball? Nice aeroplane. Ring. Omg. I would be newer ghet home after that finds. :) great video
Thanks!
Nice work guys!
Thanks!
That plain is such a cool find. Love the old toys u guys find!! That ring may be a coin ring my father made my mom a band ring just like that 💜✌ awesome finds your friend in Oklahoma
Thanks Misty. Your father sounds pretty talented!
You should send the plane to Missouri mike and have him restore it for you. Great video
Mike is getting pretty good at those paint restorations. I’ll have to give it a try myself one day.
Nice finds! Happy Hunting!
Thanks!
Dig the plane, nice ring, top to a salt shaker.
Thanks Karen!
Silver marked "coin" means its 90% silver, just like a coin would be. It's probably from the later 1800s so that's a really nice one.
Jason, nice plane.
Thanks Stephen!
HOREY SHET! NEW EPIWODE OF QUATTA HOTTA
Another cool video, love wacthing your diggs..
Awesome finds bud!! Good job !! Temple Raider 👍✌
Just wondering if your round rock could be a meteorite, as they are really heavy if made of iron(according to Google).
I think the thing with the holes in it might be the bottom of tea holder. Should have a lid. Fill it with tea and it would have had a chain with a hook on it to hook to the handle of a cup IF THIS IS WHAT IT IS! I have a couple
Thanks Paula, and after looking online I think you’re right.
like your ring and enjoy your videos thanks for sharing HH
Sweet finds. He already said it but it looks like salt and pepper shaker lid.
A top of a salt or pepper shaker if those are holes in the top .
It is impossible to dig now in southern Minnesota
At 9:15 what you found looks like the cap to a salt shaker.
That sounds right. I can’t believe I didn’t recognize that. Lol.
Great footage and film guys! Do let me know if you get a permission to detect at my Aunt and Uncle's former historic Furlong homestead. P.S. Bally's went under awhile ago.
Coin silver ring. Cool!
Looks like you found a woman's belt buckle. *thumbs up*
Can't wait to get my metal detector going to be fun
You'll be addicted to detecting just warning you. lol I detect almost every day it's the funnest hobby ever!
@@CanadianHistoryHunter I live in Rogers Arkansas close to a few known silver war campsites first places I'm going to go most likely
Civil war
Hopefully you can find some cool stuff. Just subbed to you. Make sure to post videos of your finds. Hope you can sub back!
you will LOVE it!
That lead ball looks like it could be part of the group shot
QH I want to go with you guys I have everything. I have an Ace 400. My problem is I have muscular dystrophy and I can’t dig the holes. I can use the detector though. If you remember I live in Burlington City. I already have a good permission too. I watch you all religiously because I want to go so bad.☹️ Maybe some day.
Doug Johnson small world for sure.
Looks like the top of a sugar caster.
nice coin silver ring, and tootsie plane!
One day I'm going up north and hunt maybe .you have some good spots to bad you have cold weather y'all could hunt the rest of your life and still have places to go
The ‘flippers’ for the plane I think are called stabilizers...
The thing at the beginning of the wrap-up you thought might be a filter I think it might be a cap to a pepper shaker
Now that you have it cleaned up that "cap" thingy is the bottom half of a tea bag infuser. They are still available.
Your new finds pouch looks great. How much do they retail for?
