Nice finds! I'm SURPRIZED how much you know about old things.. You don't find younger people that well rounded much anymore. Thanks again for the hunt!
Thanks John! Learned alot through this hobby, I always try to not over speak and say more than I know about an object so some of the finds remain ambiguous
Dave, great video and finds! Your mystery latch is from an old tape measure. That's the handle to reel the tape back in. That's what was wrapped around it when you first dug it up. The copper band was the outer housing of the tape measure.
aaaaah good catch man! I've used that variety of tape measure before and that didn't click with me til just now. Another good reason for me to keep making these episodes lol thanks for the heads up!
Yup, 100% 1600s kettle points. The one in my video intros is my nicest one, and it's got a very similar shape to your 4. Not all kettle points have holes, in fact 2 of my other ones don't. I think you're right about the quiver theory, and that's a hell of a find! Also, that round lead piece is interesting because I found a similar piece near my nicest kettle point, and I was told by someone who hunts for trade relics all the time that he only finds those lead discs on trade sites. They're labeled as whizzers (despite having only one hole), and he enthusiastically told me that it belongs with my kettle point display! So, keep that piece aside, it's a special one.
IHP Hill is an excellent site. Thank you for the laugh with what we see on camera and don't see on camera when detecting in the woods. I can do relate to what we don't see. Some of the spots we go through just to detect a small area of dirt is crazy at times. 🤣 The Piece of Jewelry looks like a strawberry. Love the possible cuff link with the gold tint on it. Very ornate. I've found similar pieces like that but not as nice as yours. The other piece I'm pretty sure it's a garter piece. Where I'm at I've dug a lot of those with different Intitals. Some even have lice Chicago, Boston, New York on them. The Ones from Boston I've seen advertisements for men's socks to hold them up. Love the Coins. The Silver Canadian 5 Cent piece awesome. I dug a 1896 one about 5 years ago. Wasn't Silver though and in pretty rough shape. Take Care love the videos.
Thanks Crazie! Yeah, I felt like someone needed to show the truth about woods detecting lol. Either cufflink or a clip on earring, that spot is amazing, really glad to have an awesome woods spot since all the open land has been frozen solid. Hope you've been getting out too, Happy hunting!
Loved the video, hilarious re-enactment of real woods hunting. Reminded me of my last outing of tripping over a vine and dumping myself in a ditch of briars and water ! Great kettle points- Stef digs is the first person I thought of too, she is so knowledgeable!
Thanks diggin, I know! I was sure it was a trime or half dime... was a little disappointed it wasnt a capped bust half dime or something at first lol a very cool first for me though
Are these a common style of kettle points ? Reason I ask is that it seems like any examples I’ve seen it doesn’t take to much thought to realize they were originally purposed for something else the examples you show seem to almost be crafted specifically for the purpose of being an arrowhead and having No other former purpose
I agree, in the wrapup of the episode I put up examples of kettlepoints I found online that are extremely similar but there are many varieties out there. These are pretty finely crafted compared to some but have all of the defining qualities
Dave, on the kettle points reach out to “Stef Digs” on RUclips for some more validation of these if you feel you need it. They look legit to me, and I know she has posted a few of these before.

Awesome finds!
Hilarious interlude and outro!
Beautiful table too!
Hey thanks! I made that table
@@DTdigs wow! It's gorgeous.
Great reenactment of the behind the scenes truths we never get to see, I laughed so hard, 🤣 got a good laugh out of that
aaaaaaah lol your the first one to comment on that, knew that was a worthwhile bit
@@DTdigs lol it was GREAT, I actually laughed out loud 🤣

Cool hunt Dave! Killed me to wait for the video but it didn't disappoint.
Hah thanks man, anticipation makes the vid better

Wow, that's great news, I trust your intuition on the kettle points! Very excited about those, possibly one of my best finds ever
@@DTdigs I would say it has to be! I’ve only ever seen one other person find a quiver of kettle points. Outstanding find!
Thanks Stef! I was pretty skeptical when I found them... glad they didn't go in the trash bin lol
Enjoyed the video well
Done on the Canadian silver
Thanks man! That was a first for me
Can't wait to see the video!
it's a fun one, got some funny bits in there too
Got some real nice digs there 👍🦀
Thanks ghost!
Great video for sure.. You will be at 100K very soon.
Thanks for watching man! Hope so

Twice since February 8th. Ground either frozen also or work. But did get out a couple of times. Got some Relics. Couple Wheaties. All good.
Always seems to make me want to find stuff more when I have a few light hunts like that
Finally, I waited so looong but it worth it:))
Hah glad you waited, it's a good one

For sure, she authenticated my kettle points which was awesome, thanks for watching man!
👍A great hunt, Congrats👍
Thanks SW!
Definitely kettle points. And that’s called a “cache”. Extremely rare. Congratulations. All the ones I’ve seen are that thin. Very cool find!
Thanks man! I was staying skeptical until I knew for sure, probably one of my best finds
Wow! Those are awesome finds! Imma bout to order me a metal detector lol
Thanks! Not always an easy hobby but it can be really rewarding
Man what awesome finds. Those kettle points are phenomenal! I found one of the Canadian half dimes 1874, it's my oldest silver
Thanks man, never expected to pull that half dime out, gotta get those kettle points verified but I'm pretty confident about them!
Awesome finds, me like !!👍🤠
Thanks for watching!
Nice vid & great finds! That Canadian coin looked like it might be early US for a while..
Thanks diggin, I know! I was sure it was a trime or half dime... was a little disappointed it wasnt a capped bust half dime or something at first lol a very cool first for me though
Also it might be a wind-up antique cloth measuring tape
square piece looks like old clip on earring. some of them were pretty big
True, part of the clip on the back looks like that too, didn't consider it because of the size

The first little handle thingo was probably a folding handle from an old fabric tape measure.
exactly right! Someone commented that and connected the dots for me, thanks for watching
That's a reel-to-reel to a camera
You wind it up and it has a hook at the end my grandpa had one like that
👍👍
I think I would start calling it tribal hill , a lit of Indians can out of those hills.
Yeah, I didn't expect to find evidence of actual native American activity up there, pretty cool
They are kettle points
Glad to have another confirmation, those points are still some of my coolest finds to date, happy hunting!
What year?
last week

Good call! I saw her find a few of those
