    This was a fun little hunt. When I dug the button, it broke open and it looks like there may be a fingerprint on the inside. What do you think?

    My coil went bad on my at max and I sent it and my detector to Garrett. Just one week and I got everything back cleaned up with a new coil and coil cover. Also new batteries. I am impressed, thanks Garrett. Oh yeah chigg, I am impressed with you and your videos also. :)

    I look for native American artifacts mainly. One of my favorite pieces is a simple pottery shard which has extraordinarily clear fingerprints of the maker in it. Of the thousands of shards I've found, only this one piece has perfectly preserved fingerprints.

      😃 That's fantastic! I was on "early man" habitation dig, and one of us found a bit of clay daub from a hut that had been burned. It had a fingerprint fired into the clay - how awesome. It really made you feel like you were shaking hands with the past. Fantastic find.

    The fact that there is a fingerprint from the maker of that button is so exciting! My mind rambles wondering who it was, what kind of life they live and so many other questions. Such a personalized piece of history!!

    Chigg, Wow! A really great job, I really enjoyed this video. An unreal job of super efficient digging and vlogging. NO way I could do that, my video would have been 2 hours long. I've been watching you for many years and have been a big, big fan, I remember when you hit 100K subscribers, thinking that is incredible. But lately I have been finding some of your more recent videos a bit slow or too long. I look for 20-25 minute videos because... that's all I have time for. I dug my 9th axe head this week, trying to catch you!

    I don't see a fingerprint Chigg, but there is print on it. Perhaps from a book?(Would they have to get paper from any source they could?) I adjusted the brightness/contrast of a screenshot. There is a little girl's face and maybe her clothing. I can't tell what the rest of the design is.

No battles here in MN but got plenty of mid-late 1800s artifacts. Would love to dig with you something!
