Join us this week as we head into the forest searching for Lost Treasures. This site is all but destroyed by Logging but we managed to find it and recover its treasure.
Hey Shawn, you dug some great relics today! Things which can be identified for age. It is just too difficult to judge the diameter of the bullet on video. BUT, I think it is a Semi Wadcutter cast lead bullet. Those can be cast in .38 up to .45. If it is larger than that, then it is probably 19th century. Excellent adventure today!
Heart pin is beautiful! Love those miners tags! Awesome that tag had the actual mine. Excellent piece of land to detect. Shawn you killed it on this solo hunt!
Great video! And you're right about spending time alone. Loved your finds, especially the double heart pin. The "mystery" find looked like a cuff link to me. Looking forward to next week!
I agree. Last weekend I repelled down an icy slope to get to a cellar hole I found on Google Earth. Cellar hole treasure found on Google Earth! Before heading to the cellar hole, I confirmed its location with my DJI drone. Found Cellar hole treasure with Google Earth & DJI Drone. But, it was cold out there and I didn't have a sandwich. @@detectingpa8968
Cool finds Shawn, congratulations 👍 Too bad that was only a piece of that lock, whole ones are hard to find. Stay safe and good luck on your next hunt!
💥💥💥💥Excellent Detecting Adventure! As a fellow detectorist, I find solitude in the woods, and if I'm lucky, the freshest sandwich on the planet. Everybody with a metal detector is commenting on this one. Great finds and Great videos…Let the Adventures continue…
Thanks Lee! The crazier things get in the world the more the Forest calls out. I can’t put my finger on it but there is a feeling that’s familiar when at these old sites. A feeling or urgency to find what was lost so I can remember something…Almost like I need to remember because something is coming…. IDK maybe it’s just the Fireball talking.
It's not the fireball talking. These things don't lend themselves easily to words. We leave our homes to visit their homes. We walk in the footsteps of the founders; Their roads, their paths, their homesteads. We are the first to touch what they held and possessed. We are the unexpected guests of gratuitous hosts. We think of them often, as they think of us. We visit their homes, they visit ours. @@detectingpa8968
Another great hunt buddy always awesome to watch your videos I always think about the people that built the homesites and what they may have been doing while your sitting eating lunch they could have been sitting and reflecting on life just the same God Bless and happy dirt fishin…Virgil
We do that as well. Thinking what it must have looked like so long ago or visualize people working around the house and yard. That’s why we love the forest hunts
🤯Dude!!! Great job, Shawn!!!!!!!👍👍I am so amazed at what you go through to get to the homesite😳and then to see you dig up those amazing relics, WOW!!!!!!! Thank you, Shawn💖
The adventure is one of the aspects we love. Detecting yards is okay, but the journey to and from these sites gives new meaning to the trials and hardships of the inhabitants of that time.
There is something primal about it all. Like tapping into something that’s inside of us thats been missing. Thanks for watching and hope to see ya tomorrow morning at 8am!
You had good weather and a good site. Would be nice if you could bring a boy scout group out to help map out the site and to😊 id items to create a history of a miner's home site.
Wonderful idea. Only problem with that is sometimes we take some pretty long hikes through treacherous conditions and terrain. We would probably need to have some sort of waiver created.

Thank you! Appreciate the info. So much to learn. It’s much smaller than a traditional civil war bullet for sure.
Good morning Jerry & Shawn, watching now... 💖💖Happy 2024!!!
Happy 24!
Maybe a cuff link? Love your show
Thanks Maxine! Others have said a cuff link too!
Convex. The way I remember is caves go in.🙂
Brilliant! I'm gonna remember that.
Great way to remember it! Thanks!!
Correct
Congrats 👏 very nice hunt,and sweet relics.
❤ from here in Michigan

Great adventure Shawn, always enjoy seeing these old home sites in the PA woods. Keep these great videos coming!
Thanks. Just wish Pa was still all old growth forests.

Thanks Will! We prefer the woods.
Heart pin is beautiful! Love those miners tags! Awesome that tag had the actual mine. Excellent piece of land to detect. Shawn you killed it on this solo hunt!
Thank you sir! Those named tags don’t come up very often.
Hello again.
This entire trip, hunt, finds, are such a great adventure!!!!
Thanks Alice! We are glad you enjoyed it! Hope to see ya next week!
Great video! And you're right about spending time alone. Loved your finds, especially the double heart pin. The "mystery" find looked like a cuff link to me. Looking forward to next week!
Hey Carol! Yep. Spending time alone is a much needed thing that most people don’t make time for.

Nice work guys, you bullet looks like a fairly modern .44 wadcutter
Thanks for the info! Definitely lots to learn.

It's an amazing adventure for sure, thank you so much guys!!!@@detectingpa8968
👍
Thanks for watching!
Great wood hunt. Great finds as well, the last find might be a 2 ring mini ball or modern black powder round but still great hunt, All the best John.
Thanks for the info John. Appreciate it!
Nice video. I agree 100% too. These days with everything artificial I find myself wanting to get out into nature. Like an innate desire. HH.
There is something primal about it all. Like tapping into something that’s inside of us thats been missing. Thanks for watching and hope to see ya tomorrow morning at 8am!
@@detectingpa8968 Just curious....is there a live stream on at 8am certain days? Thanks.
@@finders-keepers1518 no, that’s when our videos get posted. Maybe some day we will do a live stream.
@@detectingpa8968 Oh, cool. Maybe one day I'll catch you out somewhere. We're in SW PA
That white and black square looks like a cuff button
Good bet. What’s your guess on the design? Kind of random. Lol
Looks old too.
You had good weather and a good site. Would be nice if you could bring a boy scout group out to help map out the site and to😊 id items to create a history of a miner's home site.

Lucken booth brooch
Thanks for the help!
Count the grooves. Looks like a cast pistol bullet. Probably 44-45 caliber
Thanks for the info!
Gas at 3.19 a gal...great find...lol. Sure seems like you guys have been finding some seriously overgrown sites lately. About what all mine look like.
That price is at a station that always has low prices. Go 5 miles down the road and it’s back to 3.69.
$2.78 today in New Hampshire.
Bullet is late 1800s to early 1900s
Thanks for the info!
Awesome hunt Shawn. When is Jerry coming back?
We can’t always get out on the same days, so sometimes we have to do solo adventures. Next week Jerry will be here.
We miss Jerry.
@@leesmith2798 I miss whichever one is not there. They both make it a team!
That’s what I was trying to say. The mobile app was limiting the amount of characters I could use. 😀 It’s all better now. Go team adventure!!!
@@jerrydineen2827 This video just went from 70 to 82 comments. How’d that happen? 🤫
Clip earring
Which piece?
A cuff link?
I think you’re right!
Do you have bears there
Yes we have black bears. No need to worry about them this time a year though. Maybe in the spring when they have cubs.
Shawn and Jerry don't have to worry about bears....Bears worry about them.
