I have found that working a site, and you think you have it all cleaned out, but then a lightning storm comes through and charges the ground and makes everything glow in the ground, so a place is never really all cleaned out!
I’ve done a couple of trips to England, and there they called the round broach with the pin, an annular broach. My brother lives in the Gaylord area and we have done some fun trips in that area. Thanks for your videos!
Okay I'm coming to Michigan I'm from Georgia and I bet you that good soil y'all got up there yeah it's better than digging this soil down here on Georgia red clay
Michigan soil does change drastically depending on where in the state you hunt. Lower and central Michigan tend to be more clay, UP has dark iron soil and shoreline areas tend to have sand. Good luck if you get out detecting.
I'm not authority at all, but that mystery copper object that's the hollow "cone" with the little "bracket"-ish thing on the narrow end looks a lot like a trecking pan. Sometimes the handle would fold, sometimes they wouldn't but looks like it was made to go onto a stick and be heated over a fire. Maybe that's what some of the rest of your copper slaw is... the remains of an old pan! hahaha. Great video as always. Wish I could come up and detect with you some day!
Love those finds. Wow! I’m in Boise Idaho. The only way I could get stuff like that, would be fur trapping routes. Do you have any advice on how I could obtain information on routes? Historical Society? We have one near my place. Thank for saving. Those rings are super crude, cool,! All day, everyday. Marvin.
Thanks for sharing those great finds! I am always impressed with all the history you dig up. Love those rings! I did well last week up there too. Found some copper culture awls and knife blades and 8 War of 1812 era US Military buttons. And a couple pcs of trade silver.
Great hunt as always. Thanks for sharing!!! May give your channel a shoutout in one of my videos. Our finds down here in middle GA aren't quite as old as yours! Hahaha!!!
Congrats on the finds. Can't believe how well those artifacts come out of the ground for being exposed to the elements for over 200 years. I have never seen an oxen shoe in that good of condition just amazing. Must be the sandy soil.
Thank you, the sand here is very kind to the artifacts but they do require quick preservation as well. especially the iron and pewter or they deteriorate quickly out of the soil.
Amazing stuff! My area should be loaded with stuff from this era. Can't find much of it though!! I can find 1000 years earlier....or 200 years later. Not where I want to be so I live vicariously through you! :)
I am often surprised where my sites are and aren’t. Some places have all the right make up for success and there is nothing. Others, the most unlikely spots, are loaded. Best of luck on your future hunts.
Eric, you have done it again. The relics you recover are so unique and different from other channels. You are saving history every time you go hunting. Great relics this hunt. The cuff links are super, the rings very nice and the figured broach is special. Thanks for taking us along. As always, keep up the good work.
I’m blown away by your finds, I’ve detected most of my 54 years from Ohio to western Kentucky, Florida, Philly and North Carolina and never saw these items beyond the British coins. I’ve discovered a whole new part of American history. Thanks
I love those two spearheads Eric! Really amazing! I'm a little south of you but know that good feeling, I dug a Raddatz Spear Point 3500-5000 years old 👏
That copper spear was probably used to hunt wooly mammoths and wild bison. The copper culture natives stopped using copper and went back to stone tools 2000 years before Columbus.
