Saving History through Metal Detecting. We are just some guys who enjoy saving history while having fun. We search for lost treasures from the past. We're serious about history but we're not serious about ourselves. We like to have fun and enjoy the friendships we've made out detecting.
I have had a metal detector, beginner to mid grade since 1971 and the reason It's still enjoyable to me is It's just a hobby without expectations that pays enough over free time to cover the cost of the equipment. When I've lived in areas where building began in the 1950's I knew the best I could hope for was from Franklin, Kennedy and roosevelt silver to moderns. When I finally lived in areas that began in the 1700s I did my research in the library so I could find better stuff and it is still possible to make a find in a single day to pay for equipment.
Thats so awesome! I'm still searching for a good water location with historic relics and coins. They are around but hit by many 😆 Wicked happy hunting 👊
Gonna ask a question. When digging in ground that is less disturbed, does the depth of the find indicate a probable time period? I’m guessing that farmed fields that are worked, things of old could be brought closer to the surface and newer items buried deeper? Anyway, you have some great finds in these videos. Thanks for sharing these.
@@retiredfireguy even in less disturbed ground, like the hay fields, we find stuff at all levels of depth. A lot of the things we find are no more than 10-12 inches deep at most. If we were going deeper I think you would start to see more age specific finds.
@@retiredfireguy thank you. Yes, will be doing more history on the property next time. We couldn't get into the mansion while we were there because a family was renting the house for the week.
Great hunt brother! What a beautiful big home! That porcelain door knob is pretty sweet. Those memorials get us all sometimes 😆 pretty cool and Interesting relics there! Wicked happy hunting!! Stay cool, the fall weather is coming!
The backmark is a RMDC, raised mark depressed channel, which is indicative of a button dating late 1840's to the 1850's. Wadhams & Co. dates 1847-1849.
Military or not that is an amazing find and I really appreciate the education on the Camel Corp. Isn’t it just awesome how much we learn by digging stuff! Great job Chad, really enjoyed the history in this one! Keep up the amazing work my friend!
