Recently, my brother and I got out to do a little detecting on a back woods site that we got permission onto. It has given up all kinds of neat relics, all from around the turn of the century.

I tried to cut this video a little bit shorter than my normal ones because I know that not everyone has time to watch a 20 minute video. This is just the best of the best! First, here's a few pics from the hunt.

My Indian:

A Knitpicking Comb:

Another Indian:

My favorite find (A WWI General Service Button):

The site is getting noticeably harder to hunt as we pull more and more out. Lots of trash...but it's worth it! If you want to watch the full hunt, here it is. Thanks for checking it out and enjoy!

Thanks! I was surprised to see that it hadn't lost its color yet. It was a very fresh drop!

I have an old yard nearby where I pull at least 1 Indian every time...the ground is nice to them but soon after you can almost watch it crust up right before your eyes. Keep diggin! Ddf
