So glad you guys don’t forget the important part of your journey while detecting. Remembering and bringing back to life the place that once thrived is what it’s all about. Happy hunting!
Congrats 👏👏👍🤓👍❣️. Ive never ha the opportunity to find a flying eagle yet. Thanks for sharing y'all, every day out etecting isa good one👍🤓👍. ❤ from here in Michigan
I'm glad I finally found you guys! I've missed y'all. Nice finds. Congrats, Jerry, on your flying eagle! I love the old Indians and nice V nickel. Cool thimble.. 💖💯
Congrats Jerry on that flying eagle, maybe that Hoodie brought you some luck. The artillery button was an awesome find. Congrats Shawn on the 1876 Indian. Nice suspender clips ,thimble, lock cover, v nickle and pocket watch. Take care guys.
Great job Jerry on finding that flying eagle, and great job Shawn on finding that piece of silver, you guys have the best videos on RU-vid keep up the amazing work love all the great finds can't wait for the next video stay safe and lots of love from West Virginia ❤️🙂
Having someone along on the hunts is definitely more exciting. When you’re out alone, it’s like you search for someone to celebrate with and no one is around!
🤔 Hollow silver piece could be a hat pin end, one end of a collar pin or a handle to a button hook (do-er upper-thing-er) Cheers guys, Pat/ Yukon 🍁 a new sub.
Wow, Jerry & Shawn, I sit here in awe of the incredible relics you both find, and in what looks like the middle of nowhere now. I can read about history in books but seeing the items that people used 200? years ago is a mystical experience for me; it makes it real. Congratulations on the flying eagle cent, Jerry!!! That sterling piece is beautiful, Shawn!!! I know there's more, but my mind is blown 🤯🤯you guy's rock my world, thank you both 💖💖
We carry water. Problem is if you spray water on copper, it turns it a weird color. Just using a toothpick and dry brush with a little nose grease works better at keeping the natural color.
Most large thimbles were men’s thimbles but not for darning there clothes but used for sewing the ends of burlap and canvas bags that they filled with corn and wheat while pulling the seasons harvest and is also the reason a women’s small thimble would be found out in a yard usually near a barn site. They helped sew the bags for there husband and family.
I love Pa. There is creek in Tioga county named Babb creek so with the same last name my nephew researched it and it’s a long story that goes back to the 1700’s. That’s why I love your channel.
I sure love Saturday mornings - with my coffee ,and out with you guys ! The silver piece may indeed be a hat/ hair pin- or the button hook as suggested - look up " chatelaine" - During the Victorian era this was a chain that had small scissors , thimble , perfume vial, needle case etc. This would be more common among middle class and wealthier women . Outstanding Flying Eagle Jerry ! Gotta be more coins at that site .. 🍻🍻Gregory.
Thanks for the info Gregg! I looked them up and it very well could have been any of those. The button hook handles are almost identical! So glad we have supporters that are more knowledgeable than us! We are good at maps and detecting but Identification isn’t our strong point. Thanks again!
Speaking of memorial cents, even the copper was removed after 1982. That was interesting about the stone walls , just wondering how old that site was. Really cool finds and always like seeing your uploads appear. I have a family grave plot near laughlintown , not far from Ligonier.
I thought that too but I also thought it could be a log hook, you would drive the hook into the log then hook the other end to your horse or mule to drag it. Not sure just an observation.
I knew that was a girl's bike, but I didn't want to say anything 😁 Sweet bike, loved the color!!! I can't believe you gave me a shout out!!! How cool is that!?! I'm still watching... 💖💖
As we always say we love all the comments and people watching and you’re one of our favorites. Thanks so much for always tuning in and commenting on our videos.
@@detectingpa8968 You guys are two of my favorites. No thanks needed; in fact I can't get enough. Keep up the great work & having so much fun together, it's great to watch!!!
Another exciting area. It sets my mind wondering what happened to cause the abandonment; a move west or simply no heirs to continue? I lived my first six years in a hamlet (smaller than a village) in the extreme SW corner of Pa. There are still people there, but the five-house property on which I lived, always kept like a park, is mostly destroyed. Question: Have you ever seen stone walls like that in Western Pa? You dug some very good finds today, the Flying Eagle must be the cherry on the Sundae.
We were wondering that too. This area was close to a stream and was in big woods so it had everything early settlers would have wanted. We wish our books would have everyone’s names in it so we can research them further but this name was not in our book.
You should both have a camera to use! The holograms are great. Have you found census records for the areas you are searching. Spray bottles, soft brushes, small lights, items cleaned and identified.😊❤
We both use our own cameras. Sometimes a second hand view is better in certain situations. In our historical books of our county they have census for each township.
The house site might have been the home of a civil war veteran. The A in the shield would have represented a junior grade officer. Earlier than the war the enlisted men would wear buttons with letters in the shield. Nice hunt, go back and find his belt plate.
They started stamping silver in 1739 the stamp will show the initials of the maker. One of the biggest hospitals from the battle of Gettysburg was in the Pitt Township area of Allegheny County Pennsylvania. Maps go from 1788 to 1868. Try the Penn Hills Library.
Congrats on the Flying Eagle! On my bucket list, too. I think the reason not too many eagles and fatties are found is because they don't ring up as high as regular Indians. It'll fool the coin hunters.
The nice thing about hunting these old site is it’s easier to dig everything because everything is usually something interesting no matter what VDI it is. Thanks for watching!
1870s Indians are always black out of the ground, at least all the ones I've dug, pretty sure it's due to the composition. For some reason the 1877s aren't though. Also, I found that exact buckle with the B&C on it. In the middle is like a ribbon
i got permission for a 1800’s mansion, and luckily it was built on fill dirt. i found a flying eagle and five indians and they are in great shape all cause of the fill dirt !
If you didn't already pitch the two axe heads, I'd give you $5 each for them. I live in Dallastown, PA, just south of York. Sounds like you are in the region. I currently have more axe handles than heads to hang on them. I like finding the really rusted ones and cleaning them up using electrolysis.
York is a little bit of a ways from western Pa. It would be quite costly to ship them. More so than the cost of the axe heads. If we find decent ones, we usually repurpose them.
Well, for the viewer of the videos we all make, you need instant gratification. Otherwise, people would be upset that they didn’t know what years etc. All coins from the ground have environmental damage anyways which is worse than rubbing a coin.
When you guys say pewter with a u sound I ALWAYS have to think pooter with a poo sound like Winnie the Pooh for example. Have I been hippotized? It would be weird if now y’all started thinking like that.. 👁️🦿👁️
Every time someone says pewter, with the u sound, I HAVE to say pooter, with the poo sound. Don’t know why, maybe I am hypnotized! Now maybe when y’all hear a pewter you’ll think pooter. 👁️🦿👁️ 👁️🗨️🌀👁️🗨️
Just found the channel. Sweet hunt! Weird to say, but the bent pewter spoon bowl would have been one of my favorites from the day. Someone put their mind and time to make that for some purpose. Same reason ill take a carved minnie ball over a dropped. Wishing great hunts to you from a Franklin co. Digger
You win for best RU-vid handle. 😂 You eating those nipples? 😳 For sure any find that was repurposed has a special place in my mind. Gives it more of a personal feel.
