Metal Detecting at the Location I Can't Tell You About!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- This summer I was able to go metal detecting at a special location that I can't tell you about. 🏴 GOLD Find of a Lifetime ➡️ • Find of A Lifetime | M... This location was very historically significant in the mid 1800s even before Colorado was officially a State. The site was home to one of the many Pony Express stops and we had the opportunity to join forces with a local archaeologist and his team to save as much history as we could. I belong to the Historical Artifact Recovery Team within my treasure hunting club, Eureka Treasure Hunters Club in Denver, and occasionally we are activated to go to a historic property to help in the recovery and preservation of historical artifacts. This video talks about the partnership between detectorists and archaeologists and how it can work successfully as well as showing some of the finds we were able to recover.
Much about this hunt needs to remain private as there are pending publications to consider and the exact location and historical significance has been withheld to honor the request of the archaeologist until a later date. What's is it like, digging in 103f degree weather, in the middle of the prairie with no shade or cover? Come check it out and lets go metal detecting in Colorado.

So awesome ken,

Oh, I was such a princess, I tell ya ... between the terrain, the tall weeds, the bugs, the heat, and the snakes... I almost felt Australian there for a moment ... ha. Cheers buddy.
Glad you got a chance to work with the archaeologists! I would love for them to seek us out locally for help! Great find on that gallager! I would have loved to have been the one to unearth that Flying Eagle !!
It was Jeff Lubbert that found that eagle cent, just an amazing find.
What a wonderful adventure to be involved in! Thanks for sharing with us! GL and HH on all of your metal detecting trips!
Thanks Mary , I was very proud to be a part of this project... more to come

Great video! You told (as much as you could) and showed the history of Colorado. Those those of sites are few and far between in Colorado and I so glad that we got out there. And boy was it hot!! Thanks for sharing Ken.
Thanks, I was very proud to be a part of this project as I know you were as well... more to come
Great Hunt DK. People so often dismiss iron as junk but even nails and hinges have a story to tell and is as much a part of the historical story as anything made of brass , silver and even gold . Well done brother on the watch winder . Geoff.
Thanks Geoff. We found so many square nails, it helped show where the buildings were once located once the GPS map was produced
@@AdventuresInDirt I have been finding huge amounts of hand produced square nails on my Roman field . The same place I found the Lead disk yuou once showed on your show . I know they are Roman and I know I am going to find something spectacular there ,one day. You will be the first to know .
Nice work DK. Just finding the relics is a rush.Then another rush comes when you discover the past that you helped find. My hat is off to you sir
Thanks Mark, I was very proud to be a part of this project... more to come
It’s great to save history! Great job!👍👍

Thanks, I was very proud to be a part of this project... more to come
Wow what a nice colab with the archaeologists. Awesome pieces of history were found. Great job team in the incredible heat. I would have loved to been involved.
I was very proud to have been a part of this project.... more to come
Super interesting! Love the collaboration with the archaeology team! Salute to you and the HART team for the concept and professional execution of relic recovery. Greg over at "Finding America" says it best with, "It's the history that makes every find a treasure."
Love that quote. Thanks, I was very proud to be a part of this project... more to come
Awesome collaboration! I would love to do the same thing on some historical sites. Dig it, share it! Don't allow the history to be lost forever.
I agree ... Thanks, I was very proud to be a part of this project... more to come
I’m lucky to be able to metal detect this spot everyday ;) found some goodies
Thats awesome. Just watched your video and subbed. You are very lucky indeed. That area is so historic. Best of luck to you out there on your permissions. I would love to make it back up that way and do some hunting with you guys. I learned my great grandfather worked on the railroad when it came through there and is buried in the Julesburg cemetery by the freeway so I've always had a fascination with that area.
Loved your video ! Pretty cool ! I wish we could build Ft Sedgwick where it belongs ! Keep the history alive !
Adventures In Dirt you’re more than welcome to come along with us ! Anytime !!!
really good to see the two sides working together ! enjoyed watching DK , this was neat 💥👍🦅🇺🇸
I sure hope to do more work with them in the future and I think we will
Cool beans Ken, it would be an honor to be part of this type of collaboration. See ya next time.
Thanks, I was very proud to be a part of this project... more to come
Great job !!!!!! Nice finds
Thanks, I was very proud to be a part of this project... more to come
@@AdventuresInDirt cool
I live about 2 miles from where you were metal detecting. Fort Sedgwick was (Dances with wolves movie) 1 mile west of where you were at. A lot of history that very seldom is mentioned. Buffalo Bill was at the very site you were at for years. We go metal detecting along the river all the time (with permission) I would love to join your group, thank you & God bless.
We were very honored to be there and part of that project. My great grandfather worked on the railroad when it came through there and is buried in the Julesburg cemetery by the freeway. I would love to come back up and hunt sometime with y'all. That whole area is so historic.
Nice! Awesome collaboration with the Archeologists. They are great. 103 degrees OMG I would melt. But is sounds better than 12 degrees here.
Thanks, it was hot but I was very proud to be a part of this project... more to come
Hey DK , that's cool. Enjoyed it .
Thanks, I was very proud to be a part of this project... more to come
Very good video. How rewarding for all involved!
Thanks, I was very proud to be a part of this project... more to come
Great job nice project
Thanks. It was an honor to be a part of it. Hope to work with that archaeologist in the future on more projects.
Good job mate! Excellent that you got to work with the Arkies on a project. I've been involved in some large scale information data gathering projects with them in the UK on digs. It's really special to be able to add to the historical record for sure 👍
I am glad you got to experience that as well ... I was very proud to be a part of this project and add to the historical record for sure ... more to come
Good work Ken , i too Detect for a national forest archaeologist for their Heritage program its great to get out there and to uncover history and it be properly recorded. Good Video
Thanks, that sounds like a very rewarding partnership ... I know I appreciated being a part of this one
Awesome collaboration. I wish that model was followed around where I live. Would love to do something like that.
Thanks, I was very proud to be a part of this project... more to come
Thanks DK ...That was pretty cool
Thanks buddy. I was proud to be a part of the project.
It is a great collaboration between our metal detecting hobby and archaeology. Those living in the Denver area who might want to hunt history check out the Eureka Treasure Hunters Club at eurekathc.org. - SB
Well said Bill, I was proud to be part of that project... 👍👍
What a great coke ration to work alongside one another!! An amazing experience for all!
Congrats!!
Thanks, I was very proud to be a part of this project... more to come
Adventures In Dirt awesome DK! Looking forward to future episodes on this project!!
I would love to learn from you sir!! Great video! Love your talent!! Definitely a TV show!!
Thanks for the kind words. I was very proud to be a part of this project... more to come
Nice vid bud, looks fun!! Wish we had some of that hot weather here now, bitter frozen cold here, I know this vid was past summer, but wish it was warm here, praying for a early spring! Great finds for saving the History, well done!! HH-Ray
Oh me too Ray .... come on spring! Done with the cold weather and frozen ground for sure.
Nice production! I had the opportunity to help out on an archeological dig over the summer as well. Unfortunately the timing didnt work out. Hopefully I will be able to get involved on that process someday. Take care!
When you do, I am sure you will really appreciate it as I did ... it felt great to contribute directly to the discovery of lost history. Best of luck to you
very cool project. i remember some other detectorist did a video at this project. very interesting.
Yeah, I think Tony at 5280 Adventures had put out a video about the same hunt.
Wow! I would love to see the marked map of each piece found. The story it would tell would be amazing! Thanks for sharing that DK! HH🎧⛏
Many of the buildings that were once there had burned down and there was no trace of them to be found. We found so many square nails that once the GPS map was revealed, it showed the outline of many of the buildings and where they once were purely from the location of the square nails in rectangle patterns, etc .... it was awesome. I was very proud to be a part of this project... more to come
This is so cool..I would love to do this... doing this for a job would be a dream!
Wouldnt it be a blast to do it full time?
That’s awesome 👏 👏
Thanks Trevor, I was very proud to be a part of this project... more to come
Awesomeness!!!!!!!!!
Cheers Nathan.
Very cool experience!! I’d like to get one started back here. How did you go about it? We will definitely talk about this in England! Thanks for sharing this experience!! Do you have plans of going back when the weeds aren’t three feet tall?? HH!! Kevin
OMG the terrain and weeds were brutal, working through thick growth like that was a challenge, then add in the 103 temps ... it really zapped everyone that went out there. Right now, there are no plans to go back and the site if off limits to the public.
Holy cow DK, that is truly awesome! Congratulations on that and 2500 artifacts is unbelievable! I would love to be in Den in on something like that! See you down the road
Are you still in Denver? You should come by the treasure hunters club meeting sometime and see if its something youre interested in.
@@AdventuresInDirt Heck yeah DK! In fact, I was going to ask you regarding how I can join!
@@computergrant1 2nd Friday of every month we meet in Lakewood around 7:30pm. This next one on the 14th of February is a special potluck meeting that starts earlier at 6:30pm. You can come as a visitor to the meeting and decide if you want to join or just join up at the meeting. It is $30 for the year for an individual or $36 for family. The club has monthly hunts usually the Sunday after the meetings, they have other hunts called the breakfast club that meets twice a month to have breakfast then goes out hunting afterwards (you can just come for the hunt if you wish), once youve been in for a year, you can apply for two special teams they have, the HART team and the PERT team, one deals with historic artifacts, the other police evidence. They have a cool newsletter on their website you can go check out now at www.eurekathc.com. Good group of people and lots of resources. Let me know if you are going to make it down to one sometime.
@@AdventuresInDirt Heck yeah, I'd love to! Address?
Mountain Mettling Clements Community Center,1580 Yarrow Street, Lakewood, CO.
Awesome
Cheers, thanks for watching....
That was amazing. So did you go in all metal mode or was you kinda discriminating the iffy signals. I want to do some work like this oneday. Congratulations on saving history.
I went all metal and dug everything ... every piece of wire, scrap, you name it .... many of the buildings that were there had burnt down and we dug so many square nails that the gps map at the end showed exactly where they were located ... very cool.
@@AdventuresInDirt wow that had bo be cool but so much work.
I would love to help . you get to video your finds and maybe one day go see them in a museum cool cool deal .!!!!
Thanks, I was very proud to be a part of this project... more to come
