Great job guys! Thanks for showing me the ropes. I was amazed by the difference in skill and learned a lot in a day! That area has a lot of stories to tell. The site was occupied for thousands of years and has given up countless native artifacts. My oldest from that area came from right where the blockhouse was. It was an early archaic bifurcate dating back 8,000 years before present. To think that in this video, we are only going back a few hundred years. It really puts things into perspective.
@@detectingpa8968 thank you for the reply, I'm from California and search for 1700-1800 lost settlements mainly Spanish and 49er gold relics. I listen for ferrous sounds, a lot of iron will remain from structures, settlements etc. if you can at least incorporate this on future videos, the presence of large amounts of iron is an indicator the structure or settlement is found. At least, Iet us know you are hearing a lot of iron when zeroing in on a structure. Love your videos, keep up the hunt!
New Sub here on EASTER !@ wow amazing finds awesome job guys :)I love history and how they lived and work back then of course indians and the whites .Love your video take care Barbie & Sam NWP, Florida
Wow!!!!!!! That was epic, Jerry & Shawn, thank you so much!!! Hearing the story of what happened there and seeing the relics that belonged to the people involved is an intensely powerful experience and I appreciate all your hard work in creating these incredible videos. 💖💖
Thanks Mona! We were glad that Matt tipped us off on a great location and We were fortunate to be able to find so much info and the story about that site. Thanks as always for watching!
I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some early stockade forts that are long gone.Early settlers traveling together would need to seek protection in round stockades if they came under attack.
I would venture to get that most that travelled to this area in late 1700s would likely build them if they were the first in that area. Thanks for watching!
Looks very familiar, maybe old Miller’s block house site. Near McGee’s run is where Ft. Wallace used to stand. I spent a lil bit of time trying to find it with no luck. Nice digs guys!
That was pretty cool! So much history. The tiniest button has a story. I have been a subscriber for a few years, and wondered why I haven't seen a video in the last few months. Tonight you came across my feed. To my surprise I had been unsubscribed. I fixed it right away. Nice that I can go back and see what I missed.
Glad you resubbed! And nice to have you back. Jerry joined my (Shawn) old channel, and then we came back to this channel which is originally all his. This channel was idle for a while.
That’s what I like about metal detecting the people in the Harvey take it very seriously I loved all the guy says finders keepers and he was a trooper about it. That’s awesome man.
Great video. I loved the back story at the beginning of the video. Nice finds, especially that last large cent. I hope you find the silver coin or military button. What county? Thanks for sharing. Dave in Berks.
Thanks for watching! A blockhouse would have been a structure that was built by the settlers of a region to seek refuge from an Indian attack. There were portholes in the blockhouse to defend against them as well. Essentially it was a line of defense.
Just subscribed to your channel. Great finds, great narration. I do have a question. Do you put your plugs back? I noticed in a couple of your videos I noticed the plugs were still out. Unless the field is going to be turned soon. Love you stuff
@@detectingpa8968 Hard work. Thread 🧵 was probably way better than the crap that’s out nowadays. Plus men wore shirts with buttons back then. I’m only 43. I’m American Romanian. Was born there and grew up in America since i was 8. My old man escaped communism in the early 80’s and Ronald Reagan gave him political asylum because he was an engineer and had something to offer to America and wasn’t just here for a handout. My parents were the first generation to be born in a major city. My grandparents were the first to leave the country and move to the cities for factory jobs but in reality, my grandparents were also the first people to have electricity and refrigeration in early adulthood. Prior to that my grandparents and their parents and so on, were farmers without much difference between people in the 1700’s and themselves. My great grandma literally made everything by hand. All the clothes, everything from scratch. Everything! Soap! Everything. My parents were the first generation to use commercial soap. You can only imagine how healthy our skins are. There’s zero history of eczema or acne anywhere in my family. Those people made everything from the dirt. With their hands. And lost a lot of buttons.
Wow! My kind of dig, historical. Being so close to the creek (crick,LOL) I am wondering how much may be in the banks and bottom. My friends who dig the mountains of New Hampshire find probably a thousand relics for every coin. If this site has the history you believe it to, you have just scratched the surface. You have discovered several great sites in the recent past, I hope this one is the grand prize.
Thank you. Matt said he has pulled arrow heads out of the bank of the Crick just below the site. If we go back we will get the detectors on that hillside some. Thanks as always for watching!
@@detectingpa8968before I began actually looking for items in the ground, I was on a daytrip to Point Lookout,Md. (Most haunted place in Maryland) In addition to a historic lighthouse, there was a prison camp to hold confederate soldiers. It is located at the mouth of the Potomac. I was walking the river at low tide and saw "things" in the river bank. I left that day with a brass button and started my quest for relics of American history.
Very cool hunt guys so cool of you to offer that large copper to your friend cuz he missed it and new to metal detecting..was broad head a rage brand??? God Bless and happy dirt fishin…Virgil
Good to see fellow Pennsylvania's digging are past. Could that 3 hold peace in the beginning of the video be the housing two an old small electrical push button?
Ya know people had outhouses back then. If you push a rod and locate it you might be able to dig our lots if old bottles and stuff they used to throw in it. That would be interesting
Hey Shawn & Jerry! Congrats on the Largies and buttons. Love the history of the blockhouse. You guys are crushing it and continue to create amazing content!
Awesome video would love to get a medal detector what model would you recommend live on the N.Y side of the Delaware River in the upper Delaware River gap
I’m also from PA. My wife and I was lucky enough to find the house site of a massacre. The natives came while the men and older children were in the fields working. We found 28 coins kg2, kg3, and reales. Gun parts and lots of buttons.
Pennsylvania is filled to stories of buried treasure between The Proclamation Line of 1763 and Fort Pitt. Sounds like you guys need a retired Environmental Archaeologist and Historian lol. We are around you know lol
Congrats on all your finds on this outing. You found some great finds today out in the woods. I'm the same way, i like to go where no one else has ever been before. No matter where we go their are relics an treasures out there. We just got to get out there an look for them. Have a great week my friend. An lots of luck on your next adventures. 😁👍👍
Thanks. If we do yards (which is rare) we fill holes back in with no trace left behind. In the woods or middle of a working farm field, it’s not as important. The tractor will dig the dirt up worse than our little holes.
Forest and farm fields that get plowed land owners don’t worry about as much. Yard’s absolutely. Can’t tell we ever dug a hole but we don’t spend to much time in yards anymore.
@@detectingpa8968 nice, I didn’t expect a reply, thanks!.. while I understand the logic, I always fill all my digs whether in a yard or a farm field.. just how I roll…. Great video and awesome finds too!
Non sure if you’re being sarcastic but we will take it as a comment lol. We haven’t served but both our fathers and many family members have. I work in healthcare at the VA taking care of Veterans! We owe everything to them! Thanks for watching and thanks for your service if you have!
Imagine living hour by hour looking over your shoulder. Whether you were Native American or European there was a constant threat to your life. To me, that’s unbelievable. And the fact that it happened where we walked makes it even more unreal.

Yes, as Detectorists we are excited when we find something a few hundred years old. It would be amazing to find something a few thousand years old!
The first artifact is a hinge for a pull blind. What a great place to be! Thanks Kindly! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Brilliant 👍
Thanks for sharing
Great job mixing just enough history with treasure hunting. Im glad i found your channel last night.
Thanks Allen! We appreciate that!
On the video, the button looked like an eagle, with a rod in its foot on the left of the button while looking at it. Wonderful stuff guys.
Thanks Jay! We appreciate the help! Wish it stood out more! Thanks again!
This place you are hunting looks very much like where the .Chigg was hunting with a friend where there was a massacer with a fort type thing and house
Yes it does. CHIGG is much further south than
Us I believe
I didn’t think you could up your videos but this one is great
Thanks!
Terrific finds, outstanding! If possible, In the future can you guys show the iron, Iron can date a site.
Thanks Paul. We can do that. Most times the iron just looks like a glob or something lol. We can always incorporate more iron into the videos.
@@detectingpa8968 thank you for the reply, I'm from California and search for 1700-1800 lost settlements mainly Spanish and 49er gold relics.

I agree with you. It's amazing the relics, and the history of America.
Awesome intro and dig site! The grapes got me too looked like cannonballs.
Thanks Guided!
What a great hunt you guys need to go back thanks for the video really enjoyed it
Thanks, we will be back again!

Block house cool, thanks for sharing, some great finds. Good stuff.
Thanks! We really appreciate that. Not too often we get to detect around a blockhouse site!
16k keep up the great work!
Thanks! Will do!
Nice site to dig, great finds. Thanks!
Thank you!
congratulations on the large cents and the cool relics. Good luck
Every time I watch you guys I score silver. 2 more today a signer ring and a st Christopher both marked Sterling
SWEET! keep digging Man! I need some silver soon!
@@detectingpa8968 my turn to pass on so Good Luck to you. And thank you
Looks very familiar, maybe old Miller’s block house site. Near McGee’s run is where Ft. Wallace used to stand. I spent a lil bit of time trying to find it with no luck.
Nice digs guys!
No, must be different but I’m sure these block houses were built in very similar places
You guys ever encounter Sasqautch out there? Your hunting in some areas that look like it could have one.
Definitely looks kinda Squatchy!
One of our early videos Shawn filmed what he thought was a Sasquatch yell. Check it out! th-cam.com/video/OH3V0ibqdMQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AGhYIiIetPt4n-sR
@detectingpa8968 Cool man ! I'll check it out !

Was that a sight off of an old rifle at 11:00? At 19:40 that looked like the hardware from a rifle sling.
Not sure, others have guess both of the things you have guessed. Very possible.
Thanks for bringing us along fun adventure.
You bet! Thanks for watching!
That metal piece you asked about was an old window shade mount. My Great Aunts house had those built around 1908.
Thanks george
Fantastic hunt guys, congratulations! I'd definitely hit that place again..😎
Thanks. We have plans to. Hopefully before the corn or beans are planted!
Love this show! I was wondering where you disappeared to
We are right here Maggie! Glad you found us again! 😁😁
"I can see the cannonballs.....! They might be grapes." LOL
Tomato…..tomawto….same thing! Hahaha!
Nice finds young men deus 11all the way keep them videos coming. From raining Cornwall uk 😊
Wow! Great to see some people from the UK! Hope to some day detect over there. Thanks for watching
On your copper cent: It’s not actually a ‘BOW’ on the obverse.
Slaves used to wear a small cap, called a serf, cap, or a servant’s cap.
Nice find.
Thanks for the info Ted! Thanks for watching
The tough thing about trying to find treasure in farmland…
That first piece you found looks to me like one side of a shade mount for a window. Not sure how far back those go.
What a great site guys. Sweet Liberty Capped and buttons. I'm sure we're going to see more finds from this location.
Thanks! We hope to get back out there soon. Thanks for watching!
Awesome hunt guys!! I love the colonial finds, great stuff. Any chance you guys were near Franklin county there?
No this is Armstrong. Thanks and we were glad you enjoyed
Great video. I loved the back story at the beginning of the video. Nice finds, especially that last large cent. I hope you find the silver coin or military button. What county? Thanks for sharing. Dave in Berks.
Thanks Dave, we are in Armstrong County. we have another good story to tell this weekend. Make sure you stop back.
Oh boy!!! Watching now guys... 💖💖
The first piece could be one part of a two part hardware for a door to keep it shut
Nice job guys👍🤓👍❣️
Thanks! Good luck out there!
Guys you gave me the laugh of the day. Grapes. Great video.
Thanks! Grapes or cannonballs. No one will ever know! lol
Awesome finds. What a fun hunt. Thanks for sharing!! What is a block house???

We aren’t as particular in the woods and farmer fields as we would be in a yard. Early spring farmers fields have yet to be planted, so no harm.
Why in the world did people loose buttons so frequently back then?
Poor thread and hard work.

Awesome video!
Thanks!
Great video guys, pretty cool site! I would repurpose that 2 blade rage you found also👍😄
I see what you did there. lol. Comment included the answer 😁 and thanks for the compliment!
Good to see fellow Pennsylvania's digging are past. Could that 3 hold peace in the beginning of the video be the housing two an old small electrical push button?
Very well could be. Thanks for the ID help.
That’s a good thought on that first piece. That’s what it looks like. Thanks for watching
New sub here guys... That was amazing!! such great finds... Wow!! Happy Hunting!!
Welcome and glad to have you here! Enjoy!
@@detectingpa8968 I'm glad to be able to "come along" with you on your hunts...
Second year matron 47 would be braided, great find!!
Thanks John!
Awesome site and finds!
Thanks!
Great finds and cool location!!!
A very good location. Not the forest, but still fun!
LOL I've poo'd myself on those grape buttons myself. Still cool. Great, old spot and finds. Good times, guys!
LOL! Those military buttons are awesome. It definitely had me fooled for a second.
Of you are ever in the meadville area i would love to hunt with you guys
Amazing site guys! Love it and keep it up.
Thanks Seth! Appreciate it. Good luck out there.
The history was awesome.
Nice work guys!!!
Thanks! We appreciate that.
Ya know people had outhouses back then.
If you push a rod and locate it you might be able to dig our lots if old bottles and stuff they used to throw in it. That would be interesting
Yea, we might be able to find it. There was a lot of dirt moved around there.
Hey Shawn & Jerry! Congrats on the Largies and buttons. Love the history of the blockhouse. You guys are crushing it and continue to create amazing content!
Thanks Zach! They arnt all as Amazing as this one but we do occasionally stumble across something like this! Thanks as always!
Look forward too Saturday
Thanks Leo!
Great job guys, love your videos can't wait for the next one, lots of love from West Virginia ❤️🙂
Thanks for the kind words! See ya next week!
3:09 mark, looks like a roller window shade inside mount bracket.
Could be. Thanks for the ID help!
I am from PA. Where are you generally located. Where in PA? Near Philly, or Pittsburgh or some place in between. I am a senior citizen.
We are just north of Pittsburgh
It would have to be 1847. Check it for '7 over small 7' error.
Awesome video would love to get a medal detector what model would you recommend live on the N.Y side of the Delaware River in the upper Delaware River gap
High Land
My ancestors came to America in 1738 ,and were in pa .
That’s awesome to know your family history!
How can I get info on y’all coming to my parents 1795 farmhouse in Stockton, NJ to dig?
We may be making a trip to eastern Pa at some point. Possibly get together then.
Second large cent it probably 1817 or 1827. If it was 1847 it'd be a braided hair, but that's a matron. Cool spot!
Thanks Matt. We definitely need to study coins a little more.
Yay it’s Saturday! Love the content in your videos. Thank you!
Thanks Scott! Appreciate the support!
I’m also from PA. My wife and I was lucky enough to find the house site of a massacre. The natives came while the men and older children were in the fields working. We found 28 coins kg2, kg3, and reales. Gun parts and lots of buttons.

Great history 👏 👌 👍 🙌

Pennsylvania is filled to stories of buried treasure between The Proclamation Line of 1763 and Fort Pitt. Sounds like you guys need a retired Environmental Archaeologist and Historian lol. We are around you know lol
Yea, we do our best to research the areas. The difficult part is trying to find the sites from the old stories. It’s fun to do though.
Your site is hands down the best. I love your intros. They make you feel the people who lived there. Nobody does it better. God bless Nora
Thanks as always Nora! We appreciate the support and kind words. It really does help us keep wanting to go the extra mile!

Thanks James. Just trying to put out the best content we can!
Canon balls??? Oh welp grapes!! Just found yall
😂😂 good times.
That wasn’t an Eaglehead. It looked like an Indian Head to me.
😲
17 if it’s a matron. First year maybe
Was definitely an 1817! Cleaned up at home real nice.
10:47- I think that is quite possibly the front sight from a musket or rifle. That area looks a lot like one Aquachigger searched a few years back.
Possibly!
It’s from the handle of a pistol 18th century
We were thinking to a musket. Do you happen to know what brand or model? Would love to find the exact model.
This is were the Chigg was at right ?
No, different area. We are in Western PA. CHIGG hunts south of us. VA MD area. Wish we were closer to that area.
Thinking I fished that creek
May have!
Definitely if it’s the one I’m thinking of. Beautiful and peaceful place
