Look What The Plow Uncovered! - Metal Detecting an Early American Farm For Colonial Coins & More!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- We find some of the oldest things while metal detecting colonial farms. Everything from 1700's coins, buttons, buckles; really anything made of metal can be found since these fields were worked by hand for hundreds of years. Nowadays most farmers plant seed right over top of whatever was harvested last fall so the ground remains relatively undisturbed, but once in a while a farmer will do a plowing or even a till, which will turn the ground over, even just a little bit. This turning of the ground will not only bring things up from the depths but also nudge things near the top around a little so what was not found before might now be heard by the machine. So when we heard this old farms that we've detected before had a plowing done we shot over there to give it a go before the seeds went in. What a decision it was with lots of period items found by everyone including some of the earliest US coins ever made!

The native American scraper she found could also be a blade but most likely a scraper! One side of the scraper will be thicker that way they can hold it better!! Nice find! If you look at the tool you will see a notch on the fatter end, that notch is used to straighten and smooth the arrows and debark arrows!! I'm here in Oklahoma so I know alot about native American tools and I myself am Native American, I'm from the Choctaw tribe and proud of my native American blood and heritage!!
Great to see a few more coins and buttons pulled from that farm! Nice work Jason!
Shane, that permission is always giving… I’m glad you experienced that place
@@heritagerelichunters9922 it was amazing Charley! An experience I will never forget!
Knap lines are good.
Knapping is the shaping of flint, chert, obsidian, or other conchoidal fracturing stone through the process of lithic reduction to manufacture stone tools, strikers for flintlock firearms, or to produce flat-faced stones for building or facing walls, and flushwork decoration.
Rich's find @16:40 reminds me of a Georgian or Victorian brass Intaglio seal fob, as the starburst side seemed to have had a uneven divot where a little handle may have snapped off.
Absolutely a wax seal/ stamp matrix maybe in or on a ring or necklace
Gold gilt is when you spend the day detecting instead of doing yard work.
Ha-HAAAA!
”Gilt-y” as charged.
That's just plain gilt.
Loved Charlie's ornate button!
Thanks Vicki
Great day out Jason. Y'all found some sweet treasures. I like Lynn's point!
Great buttons and coins! Love the arrowhead Lynn got! One of my permissions did a disc on a area I got fugio, tons of buttons and Indian cents. It shut right off! It's crazy. You guys did well! Wicked happy hunting
You guys have it good, out here in Kaliforniastan, we just have parks littered with Hypodermic Needles all over the place... Make local hunting pretty dangerous... I have to plan trips out to the desert where no drug addicts are and hunt around where mining camps and 49'r trails are... I've have some success on the old Spanish trail near Barstow
Great day in the field guys and gal. Lots of finds
That was another Amazing Great Day of diggin!!!!! Good to see Doug finding good stuff again!!! God Bless!!!!!
Rich’s stone find looks like a wax seal matrix or a pocket watch intaglio 🎉🎉
Good ol Charlie gets the behind the scenes props
Thanks you… it’s always fun times with the QH gang
@@heritagerelichunters9922 you rule Charlie
Field of 1000..buttons?? Some real beauties for the group, and the Liberty Cap LC was a fantastic way to end the vid- nice work men!
Doug, if you wander any further from the group, we are going to find you in The Hoover Boys videos! 😂
@@dogtagdoug6751 That's been done. Let him show from your eyes up. 😂
Doug makes an appearance... He lives. Love that sweater. Can somebody make an electrolysis video please ? I'm very intrigued by the process. Great video as always. My week doesn't start right if I'm not watching and enjoying the channel.
I do always laugh when Doug wears that shirt. Best shirt ever! Keep on keepin on and I hope your next finds are the best.
The finds are extraordinary. I like to see what you dig up.
Great hunt guys. Always nice to see everyone
Wow Lyn that's awesome, great eye
Great hunt guys. See you and Doug this weekend in Illinois.👍
Hey Jason
Maybe its just me but looking over Charlies button it looks luke it has 13 stars on it . This may be worth looking into . Hope this helps. And thanks again for all of your great videos GL and HH!
Great finds. It would be nice to see some of the finds post electrolysis. Even if more details aren’t revealed.
Nice field with some nice finds. Great variety of buttons saved!
Lynn needs a finds pouch for her surface finds
Any chance of getting two videos a week? My favorite RUclips channel by far.
Nice shirt Doug, Happy Swingin!
Lynn needs a finds pouch and a bucket. I pick up all of the glass, pottery, and China that I see. Maybe someday I'll make something with all of it. Great hunt guys.
That glass thing around 17:15 looked like a wax seal stamp with the handle missing.
Glad I found your channel - really been enjoying these adventures, thanks...
Thanks for joining us!
Great hunt and awesome finds God Bless and happy dirt fishing….Virgil
Awesome hunt guys ! That spot will do well for a long while ! Thank you for sharing.
Oh yea , do you think you could show some of your finds that you put into electrolysis? Before and after would be great 👍
How's it going Jason. Man all of you what an array of Buttons. Congrats on the Coppers and IHP. Take Care
Nice finds guys!! Love Charley's button!!
Thanks Brian
Awesome finds guys! Good to see you again Doug, love your shirt, I need one, esp when I go to Sturgis. !!
Great location! Congrats on all the great buttons and coins. Curious if Matt ever finds out the broken coin. Happy Hunting, Guys! 👍
Just a great hunt. Thanks for sharing. Take care!
The guns on musketball Matt are just as awesome as that coin he found, maybe even more!
Just saying ;)
Have you ever tried to tumble one of those toasted coppers? Sometimes it leaves more metal on the coin then the electrolysis does. You can use ground walnut chips so not to polish it smooth. It kind of lightly pecks the surface corrosion and dirt.
at 15:00 if you look really closely you'll start to see an image of a submarine flying over NYC back in 1835. nice find!
The long neck eagle is the Phoenix. It was actually the Phoenix on all coins until 1902 (last reset) when it was changed to the Eagle
Great to see all the quarter hoarder crew together finding those cool buttons and coins especially Charley's gold guilted and button and congrats Matt finding the liberty cap large cent.
Thanks Steven
@@heritagerelichunters9922 you're welcome my friend
Excellent video awesome content you all did so well thank you for sharing this six stars
Another nice hunt guys!
Nice hunt thanks for sharing!!!!
Thanks for another great hunt. Some fabulous finds!q
@QuarterHoarder Jason I'm 97.3 % sure that Matt's cut coin find is a NJ state copper. the BUST as you called it appears to be the sheild upside down and the back lil squiggle is the sled. Love your videos Im almost caught up. Had to watch them all
Great finds guys, seems like buttons were the finds of the day! It's a shame how some of those fields really eat up copper coins, it's the fertilizer. By the way, archaeologists call the "knap lines" on tools flake scars. That point looks to be something that was used as a dart point, probably used with an atlatl (spear thrower). Good luck on your next hunt 👍
Yes that was it, flake scars. I’ll have to try to remember that.
It's always funny hearing you guys talk about native American artifacts😂 I wish I could sit down with you and tell you about them
Definitely not my area of expertise but I do appreciate the skill in craftsmanship.
@@QuarterHoarder I love seeing you guys find it!
You guys would have the same reaction to me trying to identify colonial stuff😂 I'm from Oklahoma so don't find stuff older than 1880s
What do you think this artifact may be then?
Is it a spear head?
I'm open to it being a hand held blade like thing for sure, but, it seems to me as if it may have been more at hom on the end of some sort of throwable thing.
Always look forward to your videos 👏👏
Awesome finds gentleman that gold gild was sweet. Carl
The small carved square stone thing reminds me of an intaglio stone, like what the Romans wore in a ring and they could use it to stamp their seal into wax and things like that. The mudlarks in England find them sometimes.
That carved stone is getting more and more interesting. At the time it sort of got overlooked but I’m wondering if I missed something about it.
@@QuarterHoarder Is there an app you can use (Google?) where you can take a picture of it and do an image search that compares it to other things on the internet and see if something similar comes up? I wonder if a family could have brought it over from the UK and somehow it got lost in the field. Would love to see some photos if you get it cleaned up good.
Long time viewer, first time "commenter", love the videos, thanks QH!
What a "BUTTON BONANZA"!! and a sweet few coins!! AWESOME QH Crew!! Who's going to DDPA this weekend????
Doug and I will be at an event in Illinois this weekend but Charlie might be going to DDPA. Hopefully he’ll chime to confirm when he gets back from the shore.
@@QuarterHoarder you and DOUGY will be missed but def see you in October!!! GO Charlie GO!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Nice hunt and finds Guys Congrats 👊
I would suggest that the coin at 6:30 is a KG3 Hibernia half penny
It definitely has a similar chin to it
If he'd have held it closer to the camera, I think what he believes to be the reverse, may have the remnants of a Gallic Harp...which would fit in with a Hibernia coin for sure.
That stone tool looked a bit like an arrowhead/spearhead that was reworked into a cutting/scraping tool. There should be a couple indentations to make it fit neatly into the thumb and first two fingers and those inner notches should be the cutting area.
Nicely done guys I enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸
Nice button haul guys!
Thanks Brian
Nice hunt and finds. What a great field. 👍
Gilding is the process of applying gilt, a thin layer of gold. All ya need to see is gilding, it's already implied in the name that is of gold content.
Awesome Hunt!
These early people must've been playing "button, button, who has the button" game in this field! 😄
I researched that site, there was a paper mill and they got clothing rags from Philadelphia and pulp wood from the nearby forest.
@@heritagerelichunters9922 that makes sense for sure
If you got a button for every nickel.. wait… good stuff you guys!
I enjoyed y'all hunt.
I am going out this weekend somewhere metal decting
Great video.
Jason, have you guys ever found a Flowing Hair large cent? If so, do you have a link? Thank you for making these videos!
nice finds !!!!
Wow, awesome finds!!!
Lynn is the coolest
Another great video!
Hey, are you ever in the Fayetteville/Cumberland county area? I sent out a email but I figured it got lost in the shuffle.
Awesome video guys!
Good hunt yall
I really enjoy your videos, and your reviews great job, but what would be your Ideal of a good metal detector for my 9yr son I was looking at the mini hoard thanks for your help
We need to get Lyn a detector I think she would be good doing it
Detecting you mean?
🤔😮
I have wondered many times why she isn't detecting.
What was on riches stone?! Definitely looked like a figure carved in it
Somebody tell Clairitin that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, NOT Spring!
Help standing. I like the way you guys pick up news maddox. I was picking up gold diamond rings on honolulu beach. One time I found 1 with the guy's name in it and I'm looking it up in New York and it turned out that I took talk to his. Wife and she found out that he was seeing a lady in hawaii. Oops didn't get that one back to him.
Surprised you didn’t find a belly button😂
Great finds. As a new detectorist, what should I do if I find an arrowhead or any other artifact?
Check your local rules. In my state we can only keep them if it's on private property that we have permission to be on. If it's found on public property we have to put it back and notify the archeological department.
@@MD-NWWI Thank you. From what I have read it is the same in my area too.
And now I have a new channel to follow. :)
😀
Definitely do the right thing. However, there are grey areas.. places that will change naturally like creeks and rivers and places like farms fields that are tilled. Picking them up and keeping them doesnt erase any history since the weather and the tractor already did. Lots of modern archaeologists are learning to embrace the novice like us. Half the sites they dig, were found by someone who was not an archaeologist
@@itakephotos1141 thanks!
Nice hunt
Nice buttons fellas..what does Lyn do with the red stoneware in pieces like that? Best of luck next time..who needs the banana lol
She makes jewelry out of all those red ware pieces. She’s really talented with it and they are all vintage and unique.
@Quarter Hoarder that's awesome perhaps she could bring some on the show one time
What do y’all do with the pottery?
What does she do with the old pottery?
Why no magnifying glass ? Been watching you all for a few years now. And have never seen one used. ... interesting. 🤔
I use a loupe on some things when I get home, but in the field I try to only see what the viewer will see.
Scar flakes,they use the end of a piece of deer antler called a pressure flaker to thin and notch the point.
See you and dog tag Doug on Friday In Illinois?
We’re looking forward to it. Hope to see you there!
You will I have something for you both
Tell doug to take 0000 steel wool to that tomback button. It will get all the corrosion off.
Hello Quarter Hoarder,Dog Tag Doug,Rich and Matt
HI FROM CT
“Colour” is also the early anglicized spelling.The original landowner was probably from England,especially if they owned a large piece of land.
Saludos amigos 🙏👍👍👍👍
September 30 were?
Flint knapped is what I always knew those edges known as. Even if it's not a flint stone I think it's knapping
The chips are called spall's
I used to work with you a while ago. I recently built a house locally and would love for you to come check out our land.
Bunch of plants on these videos.
Do old military buttons signify a battlefield?
Ahem, colour is also the way the English, English speaking folk spell the word colour as well.
We still say it the same as you...kinda at least anyway...with less emphasis on the 'or' sound at the end of the word.
I’m sure it was us that butchered the spelling and pronunciation over the years. It just looks peculiar to me when I see the extra “U” in color, oops I mean colour. 🙂
@@QuarterHoarder it's all good...we just sigh a little, deep inside, every time we see the way you guys write it.
😅
A bit like the word 'spelled'...like, we're not trying to express the past tense of having cast a magical spell.
In England, we had a perfectly good word for that for hundreds of years prior...spelt.
I attempted a couple of times to make an informal enquiry about it with someone from America once, only, that just confused the situation even further as it appears the only option was to make a formal investigatory like inquiry.
😜
That is a breaking plow not a disc.
Breaking plows go deeper and turns the soil better.
