Eric, Your new location is loaded. what cool artifacts, WOW I am amazed at the variety . The Tomahawk is my favorite. Thanks for taking us along. Keep up the good work.
Love 'em all the cup is something very nice! South of you I just dug a silver trade ring with interesting designs on a new river permission, planning on XRF scan. Nicely done ✅
How fortunate you are to be amongst such rich history! Absolutely love your finds. And the variety is crazy. I would have been going bonkers just like you! lol Congrats!
Thanks for telling what the ram rod holder was. I found one in a French homesite and never knew what it was. But I also found other musket brass there including a butt plate. Your finds are EPIC
Eric, thanks for showing all your incredible finds. I recently stumbled on a site and pulled two Jesuit rings, some musket pieces and a French flip knife blade. Just curious how you clean your finds to look so good in your wrap up? Any chance you would do a video on that? Take care and good hunting!
That’s a good idea. Perhaps this winter when I’m stuck inside. Congrats on the amazing finds. For the Jesuit rings I soak them in soapy water overnight. Then lightly brush away any remaining dirt. From there I soak them in baby oil for 24hrs. Then dry them and seal them in renaissance wax.
For the iron blades I use a variety of techniques depending on their condition. Usually I sand or grind off the heavy rust then soak them in evaporust for 24hrs, Dry and seal in wax
Thanks for the tips. I’ve been looking for the mark I have with no luck. You might know it with all the cool stuff you find. I have a flip knife blade that I cleaned with the evaporust you suggested. AMAZING and thank you for that tip! I can now read the mark. It’s stamped with: V I B S Any chance you’ve identified this mark before?
Thanks for the ID! Keep the great videos coming. I’m quite envious of what you can find! lol. Good luck with the deer hunt and I’m looking forward to your cleaning tips videos that you may be posting in the winter. Take care!
Great hunt very awesome finds are you hunting on private property and how did you get your information on your sites I would love to know your tips cuz your always finding amazing stuff God Bless and happy dirt fishin…Virgil
I start by researching archeological references or historic research maps. I will use historic aerials and lidar to help find virgin landscapes then I ask permission if it’s not public land. A lot is also trial and error or luck.
I found the old tomahawk, unfortunately mine only had half was broken off. I guess it was I mean, unless it was just one and they tied it like that you know it could’ve been just one. I used it. Let me know if you think it was used like that I appreciate your knowledge .

I find a quite a few broken tomahawks. In my experience many of them were repurposed into other tools, such as a hide scraper or wedge. Some were just abandoned though.

Some amazin finds
Thanks again
Awesome job
Thanks for the visit
Just curious where you look up your maker marks on your iron knife blades you find?
There are a few published books and pdf articles that are based on lead prints of the marks from the smiths in St. Etienne France.
Thanks for the tips. I’ve been looking for the mark I have with no luck. You might know it with all the cool stuff you find. I have a flip knife blade that I cleaned with the evaporust you suggested. AMAZING and thank you for that tip! I can now read the mark. It’s stamped with:

Any chance you’ve identified this mark before?
That Mark is French. It is the mark of Antoine Benoist, made in St. Etienne France circa 1737-1756.
Thanks for the ID! Keep the great videos coming. I’m quite envious of what you can find! lol. Good luck with the deer hunt and I’m looking forward to your cleaning tips videos that you may be posting in the winter. Take care!

Thanks
Leave it on the root!! 🤗
I thought about it, but was worried it would rot away the iron.
Check in a radius around that utensil handle??
I definitely did, unfortunately the rest wasn’t there. Probably melted down to make something else.
I've found some really old and pretty rare shotshell headstamps.
Your trash bucket could be littered with some
I used to save Ambrose but I find so many I stopped even checking them. Maybe I should start again.
Top piece is a candle snuffer
Thank you for mentioning. I did research that after and found that out. It had one broken arm but still works!
I found the old tomahawk, unfortunately mine only had half was broken off. I guess it was I mean, unless it was just one and they tied it like that you know it could’ve been just one. I used it. Let me know if you think it was used like that I appreciate your knowledge .
Congrats on your find and thanks for watching.
Thought I had some great permission s
They don’t come easy as you know, but I’ve been fortunate lately.
Kinda funny u always find shit
Location is key. And I would say I only put on film what is worth watching I have had many weeks where I spent days with little to show for it.
