Great job Jerry on finding that flying eagle, and great job Shawn on finding that piece of silver, you guys have the best videos on TH-cam keep up the amazing work love all the great finds can't wait for the next video stay safe and lots of love from West Virginia ❤️🙂
Congrats 👏👏👍🤓👍❣️. Ive never ha the opportunity to find a flying eagle yet. Thanks for sharing y'all, every day out etecting isa good one👍🤓👍. ❤ from here in Michigan
We carry water. Problem is if you spray water on copper, it turns it a weird color. Just using a toothpick and dry brush with a little nose grease works better at keeping the natural color.
So glad you guys don’t forget the important part of your journey while detecting. Remembering and bringing back to life the place that once thrived is what it’s all about. Happy hunting!
I love Pa. There is creek in Tioga county named Babb creek so with the same last name my nephew researched it and it’s a long story that goes back to the 1700’s. That’s why I love your channel.
Congrats Jerry on that flying eagle, maybe that Hoodie brought you some luck. The artillery button was an awesome find. Congrats Shawn on the 1876 Indian. Nice suspender clips ,thimble, lock cover, v nickle and pocket watch. Take care guys.
I'm in SW PA and have run into several sites like that. Straight down the rabbit hole I went. Without getting to involved its my belief that they are older than the woodland period. The Indians that were here during the pioneer days say they inherited all of it from a race of "white indians" giant white Indians with red hair😂 Maybe Susquehannock maybe not. Have fun with that and if you ever want to compare notes...
🤔 Hollow silver piece could be a hat pin end, one end of a collar pin or a handle to a button hook (do-er upper-thing-er) Cheers guys, Pat/ Yukon 🍁 a new sub.
I'm glad I finally found you guys! I've missed y'all. Nice finds. Congrats, Jerry, on your flying eagle! I love the old Indians and nice V nickel. Cool thimble.. 💖💯
They started stamping silver in 1739 the stamp will show the initials of the maker. One of the biggest hospitals from the battle of Gettysburg was in the Pitt Township area of Allegheny County Pennsylvania. Maps go from 1788 to 1868. Try the Penn Hills Library.
1870s Indians are always black out of the ground, at least all the ones I've dug, pretty sure it's due to the composition. For some reason the 1877s aren't though. Also, I found that exact buckle with the B&C on it. In the middle is like a ribbon
When you guys say pewter with a u sound I ALWAYS have to think pooter with a poo sound like Winnie the Pooh for example. Have I been hippotized? It would be weird if now y’all started thinking like that.. 👁️🦿👁️
Another exciting area. It sets my mind wondering what happened to cause the abandonment; a move west or simply no heirs to continue? I lived my first six years in a hamlet (smaller than a village) in the extreme SW corner of Pa. There are still people there, but the five-house property on which I lived, always kept like a park, is mostly destroyed. Question: Have you ever seen stone walls like that in Western Pa? You dug some very good finds today, the Flying Eagle must be the cherry on the Sundae.
We were wondering that too. This area was close to a stream and was in big woods so it had everything early settlers would have wanted. We wish our books would have everyone’s names in it so we can research them further but this name was not in our book.
Speaking of memorial cents, even the copper was removed after 1982. That was interesting about the stone walls , just wondering how old that site was. Really cool finds and always like seeing your uploads appear. I have a family grave plot near laughlintown , not far from Ligonier.
You should both have a camera to use! The holograms are great. Have you found census records for the areas you are searching. Spray bottles, soft brushes, small lights, items cleaned and identified.😊❤
We both use our own cameras. Sometimes a second hand view is better in certain situations. In our historical books of our county they have census for each township.
Congrats on the Flying Eagle! On my bucket list, too. I think the reason not too many eagles and fatties are found is because they don't ring up as high as regular Indians. It'll fool the coin hunters.
The nice thing about hunting these old site is it’s easier to dig everything because everything is usually something interesting no matter what VDI it is. Thanks for watching!
The house site might have been the home of a civil war veteran. The A in the shield would have represented a junior grade officer. Earlier than the war the enlisted men would wear buttons with letters in the shield. Nice hunt, go back and find his belt plate.
Every time someone says pewter, with the u sound, I HAVE to say pooter, with the poo sound. Don’t know why, maybe I am hypnotized! Now maybe when y’all hear a pewter you’ll think pooter. 👁️🦿👁️ 👁️🗨️🌀👁️🗨️
Most large thimbles were men’s thimbles but not for darning there clothes but used for sewing the ends of burlap and canvas bags that they filled with corn and wheat while pulling the seasons harvest and is also the reason a women’s small thimble would be found out in a yard usually near a barn site. They helped sew the bags for there husband and family.
Having someone along on the hunts is definitely more exciting. When you’re out alone, it’s like you search for someone to celebrate with and no one is around!
I knew that was a girl's bike, but I didn't want to say anything 😁 Sweet bike, loved the color!!! I can't believe you gave me a shout out!!! How cool is that!?! I'm still watching... 💖💖
As we always say we love all the comments and people watching and you’re one of our favorites. Thanks so much for always tuning in and commenting on our videos.
@@detectingpa8968 You guys are two of my favorites. No thanks needed; in fact I can't get enough. Keep up the great work & having so much fun together, it's great to watch!!!
I thought that too but I also thought it could be a log hook, you would drive the hook into the log then hook the other end to your horse or mule to drag it. Not sure just an observation.
i got permission for a 1800’s mansion, and luckily it was built on fill dirt. i found a flying eagle and five indians and they are in great shape all cause of the fill dirt !
Well, for the viewer of the videos we all make, you need instant gratification. Otherwise, people would be upset that they didn’t know what years etc. All coins from the ground have environmental damage anyways which is worse than rubbing a coin.
Wow, Jerry & Shawn, I sit here in awe of the incredible relics you both find, and in what looks like the middle of nowhere now. I can read about history in books but seeing the items that people used 200? years ago is a mystical experience for me; it makes it real. Congratulations on the flying eagle cent, Jerry!!! That sterling piece is beautiful, Shawn!!! I know there's more, but my mind is blown 🤯🤯you guy's rock my world, thank you both 💖💖
If you didn't already pitch the two axe heads, I'd give you $5 each for them. I live in Dallastown, PA, just south of York. Sounds like you are in the region. I currently have more axe handles than heads to hang on them. I like finding the really rusted ones and cleaning them up using electrolysis.
York is a little bit of a ways from western Pa. It would be quite costly to ship them. More so than the cost of the axe heads. If we find decent ones, we usually repurpose them.
I sure love Saturday mornings - with my coffee ,and out with you guys ! The silver piece may indeed be a hat/ hair pin- or the button hook as suggested - look up " chatelaine" - During the Victorian era this was a chain that had small scissors , thimble , perfume vial, needle case etc. This would be more common among middle class and wealthier women . Outstanding Flying Eagle Jerry ! Gotta be more coins at that site .. 🍻🍻Gregory.
Thanks for the info Gregg! I looked them up and it very well could have been any of those. The button hook handles are almost identical! So glad we have supporters that are more knowledgeable than us! We are good at maps and detecting but Identification isn’t our strong point. Thanks again!
let's go let's go treasure and adventure ✌👵
Jerry the bone with metal is probably where a hog was shot in the head and hung in the smoke house that Shawn found the key hole cover
Hmm, didn’t think of that! Very possibly could have been!
My first thought was an animal that had been shot.
Yep hogs are still raised in western Pennsylvania
Great hunt guys
Awesome finds! Congrats!
Great job Jerry on finding that flying eagle, and great job Shawn on finding that piece of silver, you guys have the best videos on TH-cam keep up the amazing work love all the great finds can't wait for the next video stay safe and lots of love from West Virginia ❤️🙂
We appreciate the kind words Trish. Thanks!
Congrats 👏👏👍🤓👍❣️. Ive never ha the opportunity to find a flying eagle yet.
Thanks for sharing y'all, every day out etecting isa good one👍🤓👍. ❤ from here in Michigan
You should carry some small spray bottles eith water so you can clean your coins better for the camera. Great finds!
We carry water. Problem is if you spray water on copper, it turns it a weird color. Just using a toothpick and dry brush with a little nose grease works better at keeping the natural color.
I’ve never found a flying eagle either. But I have a lot of coins I haven’t found yet. It’s always a good day when you find a bucket lister.
Yes it is! You will find one some day! They are out there still. Thanks for watching
So glad you guys don’t forget the important part of your journey while detecting. Remembering and bringing back to life the place that once thrived is what it’s all about. Happy hunting!
That’s one of the things we love about it.
Great hunt guys & finds !! That silver piece at 5:30 might be a victorian button hook :)
Good morning guys, watching now... 💖💖
Heros.
Thanks for watching James!
Log roller piece ?
That silver object may be an old hat pin or are they called hair pins ? Love your journeys
Thanks for the ID!
Great finds
Ya'll make the best pair hunting. Enjoy every episode whether you find a lot or not. Keep it going.
Thanks! We do enjoy hunting together. Thanks for watching and the kind words!
...a bullet hit bone in animal or person?....
I would be lying if I said it didn’t cross my mind. It was very odd and creepy. Glad we moved on from that first spot lol.
It's a Centennial!!! First 100 years from 1776 to 1876. Nice find the 1876 Indian head penny.😊❤
Never even thought about that. Nice!
Man what a great coin
Congrats on the bucket-lister flying eagle Jerry! Some amazing finds! Really enjoyed the episode! Keep crushing it guys!
Thanks Zac! You do the same!
I love Pa. There is creek in Tioga county named Babb creek so with the same last name my nephew researched it and it’s a long story that goes back to the 1700’s. That’s why I love your channel.
Thanks Jeff, it’s those kind of stories that keep us going out and filming searching for those lost sites. Thanks for watching!
@@detectingpa8968 I forgot to mention his cabin is still standing on the Morris fire company ground.
Congrats Jerry on that flying eagle, maybe that Hoodie brought you some luck. The artillery button was an awesome find. Congrats Shawn on the 1876 Indian. Nice suspender clips ,thimble, lock cover, v nickle and pocket watch. Take care guys.
Thanks fellas! It possibly did bring some luck! Gotta support our buddies! Thanks for watching!
That silver might be part of a ear ring.
Very possible. Very lite

Cheers guys, Pat/ Yukon 🍁 a new sub.
Grubby detecting at its best. Come back to this location soon.
We may have to. We have a few other sites to hit before the summer growth takes over the forest and makes it hard for us to detect.
Another great video guys, thank you. I look forward to your content each week. Loved your reaction to the eagle head coin Jerry
Thank you! The bucket listers are always exciting to find! Thanks for the support!
A lot of times the landowner would stack the rocks in a line just to get them out of the way so he could he could plow the field.
Another great adventure guys 👍🏻 congrats Jerry on the flying eagle 🦅
Thank you! Never thought I would get one! They are still out there!
ya them deus head phones have the same like my orx drives the back of my ears nuts
I'm glad I finally found you guys! I've missed y'all. Nice finds. Congrats, Jerry, on your flying eagle! I love the old Indians and nice V nickel. Cool thimble.. 💖💯
Thanks Julie. Did you lose us?
@@detectingpa8968 you and Shaun used to hunt as PA Relic hunters
Oh okay!
They started stamping silver in 1739 the stamp will show the initials of the maker.
One of the biggest hospitals from the battle of Gettysburg was in the Pitt Township area of Allegheny County Pennsylvania. Maps go from 1788 to 1868. Try the Penn Hills Library.
We have found makers mark stamps in silver but Sterling I believe is later.
Subbed

Also, I found that exact buckle with the B&C on it. In the middle is like a ribbon
I always figured the composition would have been the same after the fatty Indians. But something is different for sure.
Nice hunt guys. Enjoyed the horse and wagon passing by.
Glad you enjoyed!
Nice finds,thanks for letting us tag along,gold soon!
We have both found gold rings. We both need to find those gold coins next!
Bone + metal = knife fragments?😊
That hook may be off a wood mizer cant hook
Bent curled spoon bowl could have been used for a gun powder funnel dispenser.
Good possibility.
When you guys say pewter with a u sound I ALWAYS have to think pooter with a poo sound like Winnie the Pooh for example. Have I been hippotized? It would be weird if now y’all started thinking like that.. 👁️🦿👁️
Pooter spoon!

Was definitely an odd site. Not a whole lot of finds right around those rock walls though.
@Mona got a shout out! Mona is an awesome supporter. ❤LL
Yes she is! You are as well! We really do appreciate the support and help with our finds!
Really glad I stumbled upon you guys; history, entertainment, adventure.....metal detecting has it all and you guys take it to the next level.
Thanks Jason. The colder months are upon us and our detecting season is about to begin again!

Very awesome hunt congrats of the flying eagle cent love when ya throwed the old horse n wagon clip in God Bless and happy dirt fishin…Virgil
Thanks Virgil. We like incorporating new things in the episodes. Trial and error. lol
Congrats on the Flying Eagle! On my bucket list, too. I think the reason not too many eagles and fatties are found is because they don't ring up as high as regular Indians. It'll fool the coin hunters.
The nice thing about hunting these old site is it’s easier to dig everything because everything is usually something interesting no matter what VDI it is. Thanks for watching!
The Sterling piece is probably a finial off of a teapot lid, or maybe a sugar bowl lid, something like that.
We are thinking it was part of a hair pin.
The house site might have been the home of a civil war veteran. The A in the shield would have represented a junior grade officer. Earlier than the war the enlisted men would wear buttons with letters in the shield. Nice hunt, go back and find his belt plate.
One of us will revisit that site. That plate could be in there!

Wow! Thanks for that info Chuck! It will certainly help us In the future to tell the stories of these old sites. Thanks as always!
Could be off a punch bowl.
The spoon reminds me of an invalid spoon. Could be wrong but my grandmother had a silver one that looked pretty much the same as that.
It does look like that kinda. Thanks for the info. Never heard of an invalid spoon
Wonder if that suspender clip is actually a rubber boot buckle...
Possibly. It’s like any we have dug. Very possible it’s not a suspender clip
Jerry you found 3 of my bucket list that flying eagle that trim an the half dime I'm going tomorrow to try for all. You guys inspire me
Yea, some of those things we think we will never find then all of a sudden you get all three. Good luck and I’m sure you will find them soon!
I enjoy watching your guys videos and I just wish I had people to do this hobby with happy huntings guys
Having someone along on the hunts is definitely more exciting. When you’re out alone, it’s like you search for someone to celebrate with and no one is around!
I knew that was a girl's bike, but I didn't want to say anything 😁 Sweet bike, loved the color!!! I can't believe you gave me a shout out!!! How cool is that!?! I'm still watching... 💖💖
As we always say we love all the comments and people watching and you’re one of our favorites. Thanks so much for always tuning in and commenting on our videos.
@@detectingpa8968 You guys are two of my favorites. No thanks needed; in fact I can't get enough. Keep up the great work & having so much fun together, it's great to watch!!!
The metal hook thing was a scale. Used to weigh cotton or tobacco or other crops usually picked manually
I thought that too but I also thought it could be a log hook, you would drive the hook into the log then hook the other end to your horse or mule to drag it. Not sure just an observation.
gypsy earring
Quick search shows "Sterling" use started post 1870 US.
Thanks for the info deepsky! Love finding silver like that!
The “lead saddle decoration “ looks like the handle to an 18th century tobacco jar lid. Andy
Thanks Andy. Could have been!
Awesome video as usual guys. Would be worth revisiting that site.
One of us will definitely do another once over on it.
Nice button
I wonder if that folded spoon was used as a writing instrument, like a makeshift pen.
Never know! It could have been.
Where did my comment go? I know that I followed all the guidelines
TH-cam was having known issues with comments disappearing.
Does Shawn have a sister with a TH-cam channel in Alaska?
Not that I know of. Lol
Detecting PA, If your face ain't dirty you ain't detecting.
Might be our new slogan! 😂😂😂
Gold teeth
Log roller
Hat pin
👍👍👍
Congrats on that flying eagle! And other finds also! Rk.
Thanks!
Love your videos and how do you get your nose dirty Jerry in almost every video
Nose grease is the best for getting dates of dry coins lol.
Informative and enjoyable
vids guys ! ✌ 👍
Thanks Ken! Appreciate the comment and for watching as always!
1886
Shawn the reshaped spoon looks like seed dispenser
Could have been for sure! Thanks for the info! We will look that up!
Hat pin
Metal hook looking item maybe part of a log turner.
You may be 100% correct!
i got permission for a 1800’s mansion, and luckily it was built on fill dirt. i found a flying eagle and five indians and they are in great shape all cause of the fill dirt !
Wow that’s great! We found an 1860 Indian head in a burn pit once that was in perfect condition. That sandy loose soil protected it as well.
64 was a transition year, it had fatties and thin cents.
Ahhhh ok, I could have swore I found a fatty 1864 before. That explains it. Thanks for the info!
The warped spoon may have beem to feed a baby
Ya, it could have been. Definitely altered for a specific task. These are the types of things we love to find
I don’t sell my coins neither
We have been offered money for finds we have got in the past. Always turn it down. 😁
I'll never understand why guys rub coins with their fingers and dirt.
Well, for the viewer of the videos we all make, you need instant gratification. Otherwise, people would be upset that they didn’t know what years etc. All coins from the ground have environmental damage anyways which is worse than rubbing a coin.
Congrats on the flying eagle, great hunt.
Thanks!
That button looks like a you tube play button.
That’s our copper play button plaque 😂😂😂
@@detectingpa8968 🤣🤣
Could be the end to a hat pin!
We think that’s what it is! 😁 cool stuff!
Congrats on that first flying eagle!
Thank you Adrien!

During the Victorian era this was a chain that had small scissors , thimble , perfume vial, needle case etc. This would be more common among middle class and wealthier women .
Outstanding Flying Eagle Jerry !
Gotta be more coins at that site ..

Got a flying eagle myself about a month ago. Congratulations. Always fun watching your channel; lots of cools stuff.
Nice! It’s definitely a coin that doesn’t surface too often. Congrats on finding one!
the silver piece looks like it could have been a hair pin congratulations on your flying Eagle thats Awesome.. i got mine this year too
Nice! Congrats to you as well! It’s a tuff one to find. It could have been a hair pin. Some people say it may have been a button hook handle too.
Great hunt guys! I really enjoy following along on your adventures!
Thank you! We are glad you go along with us. It’s why we keep making videos!
Great hunt and super finds! The Flying Eagle is always special!
Thanks! It’s my first but hopefully not my last. Hopefully Shawn gets his first before I dig another one though. Thanks for watching!
Nice flying eagle. One of my favorite coins.
Thanks Darin! Hopefully we get a few more this year! It’s it difficult one to find though.
🔥🔥🔥 awesome and congrats 🎉
Thanks Toby as always!
Congrats on the flyer
Thank you!
