At 4:25 my response.... "I must be dreaming" lol. Love that movie.

OMG! I won the coin! Thanks so much Dawn. ❤

Spring time in Texas could be very Hot, Hiking boots a must, take some bug spray and stay away from Spiders and Snakes! There's great potential to find some good Treasures! Old artifacts from the Spanish-American War, Cowboys and Indian scuffles, Spanish coins, US coins etc. There's a lot of early American history to be found! Good luck take care, stay safe and Dig, dig, dig...

Love, Life and Metal Detecting…. I love it 🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️

Definitely a door escutcheon , the square piece turns the latch in the jamb. Your door knob today has a similar mechanism or a variant there of, like a flat bar instead of a square.

Great to see you back and your feeling better! I hope you have a wonderful time in Texas, I have never been there , but they say “everything is BIG in Texas” enjoy your trip 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 nice coins and yes I am jealous of your ring things! I believe the beautiful decoration is a key hole and lock for a door 😉😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

Hello Digger Dawn, I have to admit that I too am achy from head to toes.

I think its a trunk latch . Interesting find and a fun hunt !

Hello Dawn somme very interesting finds 👍🏻 i think it’s a chest lock😉

As always it just a pleasure to watch you do what you do. No matter what you dig it’s always a pleasure. Thanks!!!

The door latch flap was probably to stop someone looking through the key hole 👁️😀

You'll be catching me up with the "ring things". finally getting out this week snow has more or less gone, great vid Dawn...HH...John.

Hi dawn, great day !, top right on your tissue is a motion work wheel from a 30 hour long cased clock (Grandfather).

Texas is a large state. In eastern Texas it is forested and green, but as you go west, it becomes desert. Texas does have a coastline, which is to the south. It depends on where you are going in Texas as to the conditions to dress for. Much of West Texas is rural with cotton fields and cattle ranches. Texas is also dotted with oil wells, and you will see oil pumps bobbing their heads up and down. Dress most often in those areas would be casual, with jeans and shirts. They often wear boots, usually cowboy boots. Some of their boots can be quite fancy, with different colors and textures used in the leather. They also have the typical broad brimmed hats, mostly worn by men, but sometimes women wear them too, particularly in West Texas In the winter there is snow, so a jacket will be helpful. Summer is hot and dry. The people of Texas are very friendly and easy to make conversation with. East Texas is more humid, particularly in summer so light cool fabrics in summer are best. Along the coast you would want to wear what you would wear to any coastal region in the summer. If I were you I would look up on line the temperatures and climate for the region you are planning to visit.

My partner is from El Paso (but now lives in Colorado!) and he said “remember, Texas is the size of Europe, it’s a huge place with a very diverse climate, so it depends on which bit you are visiting!”

Dawn you are so right the 3d bit was a great coin

Oh dear Dawn Queen Elizabeth the second lol. Congratulations to the winner of the six penny bit.🏆👍

Old Gate 😂 Great video, thanks for sharing 👍

Loved the hedgerow

good dig dawn keeping it real keep up the good vids

Love the escutcheon very unique, great finds and history too. Take care and thank you for sharing 👍🙏❤️

Great to see you back! We missed and we are "over the moon" to watch you find treasure!! Thanks for the fun and have a great day! Texas in late April/early May can be in the low 80's (26 C) during the day and in the 40's (33 C) at night.

Great finds Dawn, and I’m glad you managed to calm your mind, it’s good for the soul?! ❤

Interesting vid, Dawn. Well done.

Dawn I really do love your shows. Wait for them every week. 👍👍👍👍🙏

It looks like a old gate latch dawn ❤👍

Congratulations on your treasures Dawn 👍👍👍👍🙏

I bet that lock piece would look great all shined up.

Love to see the finds at the end of your videos and I think you are right the keyhole is the best find of the dig . I bet you are getting excited to go to Texas can’t wait to see the video of you there . Xx

Love the door escutcheon with lock cover. Good to see you out digging

Looks ĺike that fob went down and became the door knob!

Your 1916 coin is awesome,I’m sure you already gave it away,but it’s very nice of you to do giveaways. I love your videos.

Dawn not a bad outing. As long as in the process your spirit and soul is replenished, It's been a good day. Be well my dear. Say hi to Diggy for me.

Hi Dawn , love the way you film even your junk finds and always watch your vids to see what you find.

Bring warm clothes for the cold. Cool clothes for the heat. Been known to have all four seasons on the same day. No joke. But I think Texas has passed The ice storms.

love Digger Dawn :)

Some interesting finds another fabulous episode ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I like the quiet fields too...Just anticipating that crisp ,clean signal....nice saves,..👍

Looks like the lock thing came off an old trunk maybe an old steamer trunk

We always love your detecting videos and look forward to new ones, keep them coming.

The big "stick" on the back of the door escutcheon is because that's what turns the latch! It's a keyhole cover and doorknob combined!

It's defo a keyhole face plate with a keyhole escutcheon that flaps down to cover the keyhole,then can be pulled up to use as a door handle if you know what I mean.Shame you didn't find the other half!

Once again, another great video, keep up the good work!!

This time of year you can plan on it being either very warm or suddenly a bit cold. I find layers to be best so you can add or subtract as needed. They have a saying here don’t like the weather wait twenty minutes it’ll probably change. I live 70 east of Dallas.

Nice little escutcheon...I love decorative finds x

I loved the history lesson at the end. Please do more when you can.

Its a handle with a key cover plate I think Dawn the square section would have attached to a lock or another handle

You’re a down to earth person ,Real. 👍👍👍👍🙏

Yet another great video, keep up your great work

Hi Digin Diggy Dog!!

Hi Dawn, John here from Iowa, USA. The weather here in the states has been crazy, so expect rain sometime for sure. If someone asks you where you would like to eat, tell them the Texas Roadhouse in Terrell, it's a half hour drive on I20 west. We have one here in Des Moines and the food is great. Hope to see you in Texas, Happy hunting.

In 23 days it will be 30 or warmer. You will want your cap most likely. Short sleeves are ok but if you burn easily sunscreen is a good idea. There might be rain be ready. Everything here will either bite you stick you or prick you. Lots of snakes here so keep an eye out. There may be mosquitoes by then. A lot will depend on weather we are in tornado alley. Good luck and good hunting.👍♥️

Thanks for the heart dawn, digga her, dig, dig, dig. It really means something to someone who cannot read or write or knows what they're talking about about ancient finds. I'm being locked up now, they only give us 13 hours of play time a day. Then take the crayons and paper away, then send us home from school play group and now potty trained , my mummy says, if bottle tops were gold coins then what are silver tops then I'm to young to know what she's talking about. When I have one or too bottle tops from school and bottle caps on a stick aged 1 year 3 and a half months and looking towards to my first kabab, no chilli sauce Love mum

Weather in the States is super crazy. Bring layers.'

The weather over here in the US change like we change our underwear.

Hi love!!! Happy Spring!!

I enjoy your videos Dawn. Make sure what ever you wear can handle dancing, because no telling how much silver and gold you’re going to find. Hope you have a safe trip across the pond.

Fairplay to you dawn , I found a six pence nineteen thirty-four dawn I haven't been out for a while got permission from a farmer and I'm still at it seeing what treasure lye there waiting for me ❤ so wish me luck ,

I have t say, the onion rings really last well! :)

I am going to be in TX next week too - I wish we could meet up and you can show me how to use my new detector - I got it out of the box and it's ready I just haven't been able to go out yet. I hope you have a great time - be safe!

Always enjoy your videos. How Diggy and you are keeping well. 🐕💙

Metal detecting is really and truly " mental therapy".

It’s a key hole cover. It is the answer. The door knob turns the covers moves to show the Leo lock opening.

You gave me the urge to go detecting again after 30yrs but alas i can't with my ricketty lolly legs.

Just wear layers, like you do at home. No wool, not that cold.....😉

❤❤❤

It was a great hunt and some finds!! I enjoyed your video Dawn.Good luck to you.

Hi there, I have recently bought a better metal detector after becoming more serious about finding precious artifacts etc. I've always found you need to look at the surroundings for potential reference points....as hundreds of years ago people looked for places to bury their valuables, sadly many people died and never returned. I'm reading up on history of old Roman roads etc. I would love to find the lost nazi gold train ,believed to be in Poland somewhere!

I live in Arkansas it’s by Texas. I can tell you pack for WIND and rain. You are coming in the middle of storm season. Temp vary from night to day… 50s F to high 70s F. Be prepared for rain and it’s always windy.

April is about 75 to lows around 50s Long pants maybe shorts if you like short sleeve shirts bring a windbreaker they do have some rain 3 or 4 days in the month but I'm not sure be nice weather out there.🌺🙋‍♂️🙏👍

Dawn it's a victoriana key latch

👋 Dawn

The escutcheon with lock cover is very nice find. As for weather in Texas as stated prior, it depends on location. You should be able to find the international weather in the newspaper or online. Just have fun and take a lot of pictures and videos.

That ornate thing you found is obviously the escutcheon plate and latch knob for a very large treasure chest. The square shaft operates the latch mechanism. Now get back there and find the rest of the treasure chest and what was inside 😂 Bye the way that's one of the nicest ring things I've seen in a while 👍

As always great, hoop to meet you on spring Detectival😍shortly

Enjoyed your video Dawn at least you found some interesting items, Is it the standard coil you are using.

Thanks for the video Dawn. Hopefully you’ll make a couple of more videos before you go to Texas, p.s I’m I saw a flower mark on one of your lead finds. Many thanks Alan from North Wales

The square is for opening the internal latch after you unlock with key. Maybe 👍👍👍👍🙏

door lock cover

Great to see you again, please a nel bog search coil 15*17inch how much extra depth can give me with at max ??? Thanks 🌺🌺

Some kind of lock and cover. Some rich person must have owned it.

It is hot and humid when you are do to be there. You will need hat to protect you from sun and sun tan lotion. Drink loads of water to stay hydrated. There will be no snowing .

Texas is nearly 3 times the size of great Britain so I imagine different parts of it have different weather going on.

Not sure if I'm right, Dawn, but I thought I saw some numbers on the back of the escutcheon. Is there any way that could be a patent number? Just a thought.

Hi Dawn hope your well.ive just noticed your dagger with a long cord where did you get it and how's it attached to your dagger.many thanks Dawn.hope to see you on a rally somewhere.steve demwell.ps love your videos keep up the good work.

Hello Dawny was wondering why you didn’t post a vid last week … one can forgive you lol Think your correct that is looking like a very ornate Victorian door escutcheon…most swing from left to right and vice versa… but this looks like it lifted ..which makes it even more unique …very nice find well down Mrs … 👏🏻🤙🏻❤️

Great hunt Dawn!...Still more to come off there...

I like the new video intro, but why on earth did you go through the steel gate and close it behind you leaving Maxi and your spade behind on the other side? Lol

do english farmers put rings in hog noses? Could be one. Weighted escutcheon may return lock to bottom center

Has encontrado una cerradura , me encantan tus videos ,👍👍👍

Having lived in TX most of my life, I can tell you the temperature really depends on what part of the state. Most people don't realize how big Texas really is! North Texas at this time of year is between 18 and 21 degrees C. Partly cloudy with a light breeze. Humidity will be about 25 to 30%. Might be a bit rainy too.

Get you some good Texan BBQ

Just a thought Dawn i wonder if that lock assembly could have been on an officer's war chest hence the collapsible handle so it doesn't get in the way . Great video by the way😇

I think it is a door latch

I think your escutcheon was for a large chest. Like maybe someone's important papers and valuables ;)

Great finds again, I wonder why so many milk bottle tops in the field did the farm bottle its own milk at one time?

Ok Dawn. I live about 80-90 miles away from where you're going (I think). This weeks forecast is Today, 21High/19 low, Wednesday 27/20, Thursday 27/11, Friday 25 storms/11, Saturday 23/12. Now you know what's going on this week. Next week starting Sunday 26th: 28/8, 16/6, 15/4, 19/10, And Thursday 22/12 So ya never know. After Thursday next, I'll post here what it'll be while you're hear. And don't forget I told you, we're in tornado season. Had 3 tornadoes 2 days ago north of Dallas. "Big cog in the hole"???

Hello Dawn, Where is Kev at these days. ? Cheers.

Found out door knocker owner dawn its reg dwight Aka elton john 🤓

Right now, Texas is in the triple digits(F), but by the time you get here, it should be in the 90’s(F)…so, it is hot!
