Great stuff ! Love this early period of artifacts. The sideplate is outstanding. The iron piece with the loop may be part of an animal iron leg trap. The US button most likely from around the time of the War of 1812. Although most of the flint/ chert fragments are no doubt English & French musket/rifle flints, (or remains of), much of what I was able to make out seemed to looked more natural, or possibly prehistoric worked stone, and not gun flints as such. Hard to tell without a closer look. Chert material here were very inferior to what was imported from Europe and rare to be used to make gun flints. keep up the great finds.
Add me on face book, I’ll send you better pictures I can ensure you that the gun flints are legit, the iron piece is a rare style of a late trade knife as well. @greysen Reimer, I’m very interested in haveing a conversation, I do agree gun flints are very rare that’s what makes my work unique, documenting these artifacts on RUclips are very special because most if not all people don’t realize you can find artifacts of this quality in North America with the right techniques and time.
how do u tell what is a trading post? i live in ny state which is massively full of history but finding places to detect r harder to find than one thinks
For beginners the easiest thing to do is research, this consists of the library and a google search online. The way I find my sites is reading the land no research required, there’s a few set geological features that produce a higher percentage for a trading post or anitcent people to be there, I will talk more about this in my course, this will be published in the winter
Spectacular finds. Excellent vid - content is very informative and intriguing…digging up ghosts. Looking forward to your next production.
Wow what an amazing site. Thanks for saving history, love the flints, pipes, pottery and that serpent plate. Glad you popped up in my feed👋😀👍
Appreciate the support l, got some great videos coming up!
Sheesh! I miss you guys
Appreciate it coach, we’ll go out when you come back to visit.
Yea, hussle back. We need a big boy to sift. I get exhausted. Greysen shovels too fast for me.
As always, great video
US Army General Service button, circa 1808-1830.
Appreciate it, been told war of 1812
@ A lot of “grey area” to say exactly when and if. Encompassing era were the dates I mentioned. Regardless a great find, congrats!
TOTALY COOL , FUR TRADE VOYAGERS
That Dragon sideplate is awesome! Love the flints and decorative china shards. I love to use fiberglass artifact cleaning pens to gently clean them
Thanks Tom! Appreciate it.

Congrats on that serpent side plate! Interesting to learn about all your finds!
Got some good videos coming soon, got them in the vault for this winter, appreciate the support!
@@Greysen_Reimer can't wait to see them!
Nice artifacts! Rk.
Cool history saved. great job.
Appreciate it
Smart guy...
Always enjoy, don't think there are any real early trade sites here in Tennessee. Maybe a few.
I would argue that a big gold coin is the best possible find at that site, but what do I know
🤓
I think the item with the round ring is part of a trap spring
It’s a late trade knife handle, add me on Facebook I can send you a picture, it sure look like a trap spring tho
digging deep detecting also finds serpent plates and trade stuff great finds guys.
Eric’s a good guy, they dig a lot of trade up in Michigan
Congrats to them..
