- This hobby never ceases to amaze… I am so thrilled that Royal talked me into taking a 4 hour drive with him away from Syracuse to the beautiful mountains of Vermont for a day of detecting. We were hoping for something different, and old, but didn’t expect to unearth such an important piece of history as Royal scored the find of a lifetime … a superb example of a piece that less than 10 are known to exist, this should be in a museum. Real treasure. If you enjoy, please consider subscribing and hitting the notification bell. God bless and happy hunting my friends.

That's a great save!! I'm with you, I drive around looking at sites and wondering what relics are hiding there and where I would start swinging when and if I get permission, it's a great hobby.

AWESOME

Great videos Brian,congratulations royal!!
thank you
Thanks John, a day to be remembered for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting ⚒
What an amazing button! I'm the same way. Just always in awe of the things I've found. I wouldn't have them, or possibly even know about them, unless I had found it with my machine.
Thank you
Love doing the research and learning history through the items we dig. ⚒
What a incredible permission. That button is amazing. Congratulations. You said it at the end. I too lay there at night thinking all the same things. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care.
Thank you,,,, i think we all day dream or lay there with the anticipation of our next dig no matter where it is
Thanks so much … and glad to hear that I’m not the only crazy guy out here. ⚒
Huge Congrats to Royal!! (again LOL) I would have been screaming if I ever found a GW button. I would have been over the moon with the variety of finds that you guys found. Love the "rant" at the end of the day puts everything we do in the hobby in context. Now on to the next one........
Thanks for the kind words, i was doing a little dance off video...lol.. i love Brian’s rant also cuz i feel and do the same thing ....i think we all do
Thanks Jason, was a killer day for sure!! Glad I was there to witness in person that amazing find. ⚒
Amazing!! Great video and saves!!!
thank you !!! and thanks for watching
Thanks Charles, it was a thrill to witness. A day we’ll never forget. ⚒👍😎
Oh wow!! That’s insane. Absolutely beautiful button. Big congrats and nice finds all around. Just Amazing
Thank Mike … certainly turned it to be a worthwhile road trip… although even if we had found nothing it would’ve been a beautiful day enjoying our hobby. The detecting gods were shiny on us for sure. ⚒
Never a bad day if you’re detecting!!
Thanks mike for watching “insane is a good description “never thought it could happen to me, gonna make a day trip to your area soon
Congrats to Royal on his wonderful button! You both found some beautiful buttons, as well as some great old coins! I love the WW2 pin. Awesome, awesome hunt!❤️
Thank you,i knew “B” wouldn’t go home empty handed and he didn’t disappoint great stuff
The dirt gave up for nice relics for sure! I appreciate you watching and commenting. ⚒
Wow, that GW button is a beauty! Just found your channel, awesome stuff!
What an incredible day for Royal 😃. Though I must say that you also had a wonderful hunt with finding the two CW era buttons, the Vermont and the Canadian buttons are both amazing finds ☺️. A V nickel, IHPs, Wheaties, the sterling pin; you made some great finds!! I agree that we never know what we'll swing over when we change up our usual MO 👍. I've got to make my latest video because of some items I just found that were a total surprise for me ☺️
Thank’s Kaye it was a great day
Was definitely worth the drive, one we will never forget. Thanks for watching and commenting. ⚒
I’m in Troy ny, not too far off from Syracuse.. button is an amazing recovery!
thanks for watching can't imagine topping this!!! we've been thinking of doing a day trip out your way maybe we can have a hunt together
Didn’t know what we had at first … so great to do a bit of research and learn so history. Internet makes it easy
I had a to do a quick google search on that button~ sure'nuff very rare, high value. Congrats!! Historically, never knew it existed until this video~ wow man!
thanks for watching!!! listed as ultra rare totally blew me away gonna get it appraised
@@royal4463 I would too...it's in great condition it seems. One of the best if not THE best example. Don't clean it too much! Even finger oil isn't good if handled too much.
Do some research~ that type and quality strikes me as made in England by pro U.S. independence and/or business savvy individuals catering to the U.S. elite of that time.
I will give it a shot not sure where to start but I’ll let google point the direction
Was a great save for Royal, so glad he dragged me out there … incredible day
Up in my neck of the woods!! Next time you come you should do an invite ... We can share permissions.
It’s beautiful out there, I’m sure after the luck we had on this hunt that we’d like to re-visit VT sometime… hopefully soon
we'll let you know when we make it that way and aren't rushing for time
@@royal4463 I'm in Rutland....centrally located lol
@@joehinvt not far from my cousin in reading, go thru Rutland a lot i got family all over Vermont mostly up near st. Johnsbury and lyndonville, hoping to get up that way and try some of my fathers and grandfathers old stomping grounds
Hello fellas - found your video in my feed and love your passion at the very end - I get it. New subscriber and have been at this for only 2 years but was lucky enough to find this exact same Unity, Prosperity & Independence button in a friends farm field in Ohio. there are around 40 different types of GW buttons - this one is ultra rare RRR - The one I found is a beauty too and I have only cleaned it with a toothpick. . Congrats and keep on keepin on !!!
That is so cool to hear and congrats on yours … have you done any research and what have you learned about the button? Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated. ⚒
I have done some research and I don't know exactly how many of this one there are. As of 1968 - which wasn't yesterday - there were 3 known examples ( not sure what the numbers are now ) They would wear them as decorative buttons and were taken on and off. They were expensive for the time They smelted canons etc to make these. One like this but missing the shank and not as good of condition sold at auction in 2017 for close to 5,000 - I do not want to sell mine
Thanks Gary for watching congrats on your button it’s a special feeling to find and hold a piece of history. What you see in the video is as far as i cleaned it and thats just a pants wipe.
@@royal4463 I only wish I knew what it was as soon as I found it - I found it a year ago June and still can't stop talking about it. I'm 62 years old now and wish like hell that I would have started this hobby when I was younger. Love it, and maybe one day we can compare our GW's
if i get to Ohio I'll look you up and the same if you come to Syracuse
I know the guy in the yellow shirt “Doug” he is an epic guy was coast guard and just an amazing man I got to shoot with him a few times really cool dude great video
Doug is a great dude… agreed. Loves saving that local history. Can’t wait to get back to Vermont and metal detect with him again.
Crotal bell spill is a first for me, excellent work my friend, great finds everywhere, new subscriber right here 😊, Gary at Norcal Detecting
Agreed, that was super cool … I had previously only dug a couple of those. Was certainly a great day. Thanks so much and just hit you back, looking forward to checking out your videos. ⚒
Great video, Brian!
Hey, Royal! I'll trade our recent hoard for that button of yours :) Man, that was sweet!
Thanks sandman, I’ll hold on to it for a while LOL....your stuff is pretty amazing also
Thanks Sandor … the king of epic road trips! ⚒
Are your bells the ones known as “crotal bells” ? To find that many at one place, one time, is quite lucky!
Yes, I believe these to be crotal bells from the 1800’s and I imagine that they were all lost together on one leathers strap and the leather disintegrated over time just leaving the bells.
Did that button go to a museum? Or the historic society that owns the property?
What do you guys use for cleaning your coins ? I heard white vinegar?
A true treasure indeed. That GW button is beautiful. What a find! Congratulations. Good video & great music. Gotta love it.
We had no clue at first what it was but knew it was super cool … crazy that it turned out to be such an amazing piece of US history. ⚒
I definitely consider it treasure thanks for watching
You guys really need pinpointer's.
I know right … I think every button got kissed. Believe me, I hardly ever ding anything… I think it had something to do with the hard rocky Vermont soil, you’d go to dig the plug and you’d hit a rock and it would push your shovel in right towards your target. 🎯 That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
