Awesome article man! Congrats on getting the opportunity to do that. You showed that we’re not just wanting to take stuff to hoard but to share history. Thanks

I also read the article this morning. I enjoyed reading about the passion you have for the hobby and the adrenalin rush you get anticipating the next hunt. We all have this in common and it's hard describing this to folks who have never had the thrill of digging a piece of history. My favorite find is a 1925 Charlie Chaplin theater token. I'll never forget brushing the mud off the token and my hands shaking. Uncovering the history of the token was even more satisfying than finding it.

Absolutely. That's an awesome find, I don't think I've ever seen one!

If you look up Snohomish Man Finds Chaplin Token, there is an article about it in a local paper. That was fun too 😄!

You can etch that silver with the acid you test silver with to confirm it’s silver. Plenty of videos on YT. I tried it and it worked.

I replace and build a lot of fence in East Tennessee. I hope for your sake that you don't get pestered with staples, wire, etc. Lol. I actually find a lot of things just lying on the ground in the woods, road ditches, and all kinds of places you'd never believe. It's always made me want to metal detect. I might have to go fishing a little less and go detecting.

Excellent show. Looked like MLG to me. Question is, if a soldier was wearing it, was it his other halves initials?

@IDigHistory 5 ай бұрын

Thanks! Exactly right, makes it virtually impossible to ID, but I'm still going to try.

The piece you think may be a spur rowel is definitely a clock gear. Too many notches for a rowel. The piece with the knot is a piece of a colonial era shoe buckle.

@IDigHistory 5 ай бұрын

Def could be a clock gear, prob is. Although I had checked and there are examples of spurs with as many spikes. Awesome on the shoe buckle. I knew it looked familiar! Thanks as always!

The second item that is hole-ed could be trade silver if there were native Americans in the area they had pieces of silver coin sized that were blank that they used to trade with the trappers and settlers. Just an idea.

Shot coin looks like an Indian for sure. The side you thought was the back you can see the tips of the head dress I'm almost positive

@idighistory, what detector would you recommend for general detecting for relics and coins?

@IDigHistory 4 ай бұрын

It really just depends on what you want to spend. The Nokta Simplex is about the best lower priced machine you can buy. The Minelab Vanquish and Garrett Apex series are also great. Plenty of youtube videos with tutorials on all of them.

Shoe buckle

@IDigHistory 5 ай бұрын

You think?

@Earth-Chiming 5 ай бұрын

At least part of one. The rope knot design looks familiar. Check a button book.

I'm no expert, but isn't that rough but where the seam is on the musket ball called a sprue?

@IDigHistory 5 ай бұрын

I think the sprue is where the opening in the mouth of the mold would leave a tiny bit of raised lead on the bullet. It would line up with the seams. I've dug some where the sprue is really visible. Appreciate you watching!
