Hi friends and fellow treasure hunters!
We had an amazing opportunity to truly save history last week. We were given permission to metal detect this abandoned house and surrounding land before a new hospital is being built there (bulldozers are already scheduled)...I am SO glad we went!! Saved history from being buried forever under layers of concrete.....I feel very honored. I thank you for watching & as usual, there are no ads in my videos, I simply want to share this amazing experience with like-minded folks.

Nice finds! Interesting that they were so far from the house. Campsite maybe? Hopefully they'll save some of the lumber from those buildings. You didn't find a privy to dig?
 

You should really head back there every evening when the dozers stop working. They'll dig up some deeper stuff, maybe a cache????
 

Thank you!! And thank you for pointing out faulty link!! You're awesome.
 

I was wondering the same thing - no idea why all those buttons were at the far edge of the backyard...obviously there was some increased activity in that area. A campsite is certainly a possibility! Thank you for watching!
 

What a great idea! I will see if I can arrange it....I love that shark pic you have on your post, btw, they are my favorite animal. Thank you for watching!!
 

Thank you for posting the link! That is very nice of you!
 

As soon as you said there is writing on that big button I knew what you had.... Very few buttons that size say anything, except of course for the GW ones.
 

With all of the apparel accessories, I think you must have been under an old clothesline, lol. Congrats on the GW button!

If they were closer to the house, I would think that too. No way a housewife would want to walk that far with heavy wet clothes to stick them on the line. I would think either a camp or burn pile.
 

That's a good point! burn pile sounds like a very good possibility!
 

Congratulations on a once in a lifetime find! It's a shame that more history will soon be lost to development! I would try to go back after the bulldozers move in and before they pour concrete!
 

Another very nice video from you. You have some great sites! I enjoy your field hunts.
