I believe the part that was said to be a part of a clock was actually a part of a vintage fishing reel. The metal baby shoes were one of a pair of bronzed baby shoes. Do a search. You guys had a great hunt and a lot of fun!
Thanks, we've never seen one like it before. If you want to see it cleaned up and hear it ring, check out our year end finds video. That bell has an awesome sound to it.
I didn’t realize that at the time. I actually thought it was kind of creepy but after some research I found the same thing that you just said. Kind of a neat idea! Wish I would’ve done it with my kids. Thanks for the comment!
I live in England and my late father used to say to us " when in town keep your window down " meaning to look around all the time as you don't know what is below your feet, as what looks like a rock could be old. My son is now 19years old when he was younger I would take him out with me & he found a clay pipe with the stem on, Cobb bottle complete & old coins, he still has them & won't sell them.
Hi Heather, we would love to detect over there some day. So much older history over there. You're father was right, I'm always looking down where I'm going. I would love to find a clay pipe one day. Take care and have a wonderful weekend
That seems to be what everyone thinks it is so great ID on that! I’m not going to lie, I was a little creeped out by it when I dug it lol! Thanks for watching!
Thanks River City, we don't usually hunt the woods, but with all the frozen ground that's all we could do. We do have more woods videos coming and find some old silver.
@@PARelicHunters I hunt everything. Parks, permissions, woods, farm fields. As long as I am out cutting plugs I am a happy camper. I was out at South Park last week with Pittsburgh Coin Hunting in the woods. Highs were in the 20s lol.
@@PARelicHunters I've hunted the city parks quite a bit and have done well. I did hunt Settler's quite a bit a few years back. Found my 1st KG2 there. Last week was surprisingly my 1st time at SP.
Wicked great finds! That Indian is cool all flattened! I have 2 flattened cents, 1 not identified that someone flattened on train tracks and etched a bell on it and the other is wheatie railroad flattened. Super cool bell, never saw one quite like that! Great relics and buttons!
Thanks Chris, that's the first type of that bell that we found. It's a Swedish sleigh bell. Rich once found an Indian that was put in a penny press machine over 100 years ago.
Funny you say that! I had a few other people say that too! I think it’s a very real possibility! I can picture it now….. an old man sitting on his front porch picking on an old banjo or guitar reaches in his pocket and no pick so what do ya do? Well he’s got a penny in his pocket. Head over to the anvil grabs a hammer and a few seconds later good to go! I like that! Thanks for the comment!
Great tease but you can’t fool me! 😁 Explosive it is, however!👍 Very unique design! Found one that size in a creek but just has the ‘X’ opening on the bottom. Sweet rat tail spoon! Would not have known what that was if I hadn’t dug a spoon bowl of one from a mid 1700’s military post this past year. Sweet to get the whole thing! ATB and happy hunting!
Thanks Darcy, that's the oldest spoon that I have seen. We did some research on the bell, and it is a Swedish sleigh bell. It has a very unique sound to it.
Thats a big Crotal! Very nice. Congrats on the finds guys! Buttons and IHP's sweet! I was surprised that no one popped a silver. Maybe on the next trip! All the best guy's!
Out of all the great finds we foundI think that old bent up rat tail spoon was my favorite! I’m sure that thing was passed down through the family and it fed a lot of mouths. Cool to think about what kind of soups it served. Maybe some opossum soup or some raccoon soup lol.
Could be! Maybe it slid of the edge of the tracks and didn’t get hit the whole way. If it did it would have been way flatter. Someone else guessed possibly they turned it into a guitar pick! I like both ideas. Thanks for watching.
Your right! I didn’t think about that until a few days after the hunt. Jewelry, buttons, and a Bronzed baby shoe. Makes ya wonder if they had to get out of the house in a hurry. Maybe a fire or something else made them leave so many personal items behind. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
We believe your right about that! We didn’t know at the time but after some people guessed what it is and we researched it turns out it was very common for them to do that. Thanks Merrill!
Nice seeing you get out in the woods! Real history is on those old abandoned homesteads. You can almost see what life was like back then. Also nice seeing you taking out newcomers to the hobby. Nothing like seeing someone's reaction to their first interesting find.
Thanks Frank, we don't normally do the woods because it gets so overgrown here and hard to swing a detector. We find alot more in yards, but won't be giving up the woods hunts all together. We have a few more videos from in the woods, with some old silver coins and relics to come
Thanks Granddad, there will be more from that site in the next video. That is the first type of bell that we've seen also. It has a very unique sound to it.
Nice variety of finds. The spoon & some of the buttons no doubt mid-late 1700s. The small buckle not a shoe buckle but most likely a knee buckle (late 1700s)....early history. keep up the good work.
Thanks for the info on the buckle Douglas, we usually don't find something that old. We will have to go back there in the spring and see what else we can find
Are mom and dad had our baby shoes bronzed in the sixties so probably that's what you found was bronze shoes and they used to put that in a picture Fram gonna have your shoes down below to save them
Thank you so much Carol! Sometimes we get lucky in the woods and stumble across A nice early site and we dig some Great stuff! Wish they the old homesites were all like this one! Thanks you so much for watching!
Thanks guys! We’re going to keep swinging but unfortunately the snow has his pinned down for the next couple of weeks. Hope you’re able to get out! Thanks for watching!
Nice hunt. Some great finds. Thanks for sharing. I've been dealing with Covid all this past week and haven't been able to get out. Nice to watch others.
Nice hunt with very cool finds.. I like these woods hunts on old homesites Being that's what I mostly get to do. And the relics are always cool. Please Do some more of these style hunts if possible and as always great content and video.

I admire people who have their hobbies and passion.
This is the best hobby. The feeling of holding a coin that's over 100 years old or a Relic that belonged to someone and holds a story .
@@PARelicHunters All they way in agreement. Agreed is the best hobby.
enjoyed watching your videos make we want to go detecting
Thanks for watching and for the comment. Hope you get out detecting this weekend
I watch it again , it looks like interesting finds . Interesting video.
Thank you so much 👍 we're glad you enjoyed the video
@@PARelicHunters Thank you for the beautiful video. The pleasure is mine to watch.
The brass thing is a cutting torch tip
Thanks Richard
I love that red stone pin! 😍
Thanks Donna! It was one of my favorite pieces too!
I believe the part that was said to be a part of a clock was actually a part of a vintage fishing reel. The metal baby shoes were one of a pair of bronzed baby shoes. Do a search. You guys had a great hunt and a lot of fun!
Thanks James, you are correct about the fishing reel and the baby shoe. Thanks for watching and for the comment
The Indian penny is now a unique guitar pick.
It sure is, we never found one like that before
Love that sleigh bell. Fun hunt to watch
Thanks Karin, it is a Swedish sleigh bell, we've never found that style before.
Back in the day a lot of parents had their kids first set of shoes bronzed as a keepsake.
Thanks Jack, I guess they don't do that much anymore.
What an amazing incredible Colonel Bell congrats
Thanks Jim, if you want to see it cleaned up and hear it ring, it has a unique sound. Check out our years end video.
Awesome hint love that Big Sleigh Bell that was awesome😎😎👍👍
Thanks Marty! It was a great day in the woods! We will probably never see another bell like that one. Thanks for watching!
Very cool
Thanks AAPS
Baby shoes used to bronzed as keepsakes for parents. We even did our sons in 1989.
Thanks Claude, I know they did it back in the day, didn't know they still do that now.
👍 Just love finding relics 👍
Same here, even more than finding coins. They are a more personal item.
That is a sweet bell!!! Congrats.
Thanks, we've never seen one like it before. If you want to see it cleaned up and hear it ring, check out our year end finds video. That bell has an awesome sound to it.
Used to be a common practice to bronze a baby’s first walking shoe. But I would think that would not be terribly old. Like maybe mid 1900s
Thanks Denise, you are probably right on the time period, I remember seeing those growing up
They used to bronze baby shoes as a remembrance
Thanks Becky, that's something they don't do anymore. Definitely a strange find
You are getting so close to the 3k. Keep making those great videos
Thanks, we hope to reach it by this weekend 👍
What a surprise a great old😁
Nice hunt guys
Thanks Tim and Kathy, we only recently started to do some woods hunting because the ground is frozen and we know we couldn't dig in yards.
@@PARelicHunters yes I got friends who hunt the woods all winter as the leaves make it diggable.👋👍
@@TeamLynchBMD I don't enjoy it as much as doing yards. The woods up here are mostly overgrown and very hard to swing a metal detector
I have heard of glass slippers but not metal shoes lol
Lol, thanks for watching
I have that same Diggers Shovel I like it just wished it was lil lighter.
Yes those shovels get heavy carrying them around all day
A bronzed baby shoe, a common keepsake done by parents. They sent the shoes to a place that bronze plated them to put on the shelf.
Thanks Mark, we have been getting a lot of comments on the baby shoe. I guess it's not a common practice any more
BACK IN THE DAY PEOPLE MADE BRONZED SHOES OUT THE BABY SHOES
I didn’t realize that at the time. I actually thought it was kind of creepy but after some research I found the same thing that you just said. Kind of a neat idea! Wish I would’ve done it with my kids. Thanks for the comment!
Nice finds guys👍💞👍.
Thank You Lisa!!
So cool.. I liked it twice..😂 Bell was awesome.. cool vid…
Thanks!! We appreciate it! The bell was awesome! Never seen one like that before.
wow great find on that crotal bell. a dam bucket lister of mine. great channel just subscribed to you guys. wicked 😊👍
Thanks Texas Rangers for watching and for subscribing. We have found lots of crotal bells last year. I hope you get yours.

All the flat buttons could be off work overalls, that farmers used to wear
I just hope they wore belts so their pants didn't fall down after losing all the buttons. Lol.
Nice hunt guys assortment of finds, catch you on the next one. 🇺🇸

Awesomeness!!! Killer bell!!! Good luck on your future hunts!!!!!!
Thanks Joe, If you want to see the bell cleaned up and hear it ring, watch our end of the year finds video.
the baby shoe is a bronzed baby shoe they use to do this as a momento
Thanks Ivan 👍

Is the baby shoe bronze or metal

What a great hunt. Buttons, buckles, coins and more.
Thanks Joe! We had a great time digging there. Hope to make it back!
The show is likely a bronzed baby shoe. Usually a pair of them
Thanks Thomas, we never expected to dig one up.
@@PARelicHunters You from the South Side❓
Some nice coins and relics on the day guys. That bell is a beauty. As is that first buckle and rat tail spoon. Happy hunting and be well

@@PARelicHunters that is a sweet spoon. Oh and raccoon stew isn't too bad.
It's a railroad penny. People have always laid coins on the train track and watch the train flatten them.

Great finds y’all. Keep up the good work. Love y’all’s videos
Thank you so much for the positive comments, we love the hobby of metal detecting and being able to share our finds through the videos we make.
You found some real nice personal items that once belong to the family that lived there. Great day to be out with friends.
Your right! I didn’t think about that until a few days after the hunt. Jewelry, buttons, and a Bronzed baby shoe. Makes ya wonder if they had to get out of the house in a hurry. Maybe a fire or something else made them leave so many personal items behind. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
The shoe looks like a bronze baby shoe. I've got a pair that were bronzed by my great grandparents. Shoes belonged to my grandmother.
We believe your right about that! We didn’t know at the time but after some people guessed what it is and we researched it turns out it was very common for them to do that. Thanks Merrill!
The metal baby shoe is odd. Nice crotal bell!
Thanks Matt, it's a bronzed baby shoe. The bell has a unique sound all to itself.
the shoe was probrably bronzed. Over 25 yrs ago people started bronzing baby shoes as a memento. This maybe one that was done.
Thanks Jasper, you're exactly right. After getting home and cleaning it up you could see it was bronzed.
The shoe, sometimes people would send the baby's first shoe out and have it bronze coated
Thanks Jim, it's crazy how it ended up there
3:15 oiler part (top and shaft) from old machinery. Some great finds there! Congrats!
Wow great ID! We were not positive on that one!! Thanks!!
