I've been dreaming of Hava detector and I found one in the trash it's 300.00 detector.its missing the charger and the piece that holds the screen. It's a brand new one at that so dreams can come true still gotta get some parts😊
In history class, our professor told us they were called Buffalo soldiers by the natives because of the resemblance between their woolly hair and that of the buffalo’s. That was the terminology he used back in the 80s. Love the video !! Thumbs up 👍
I've always been a big fan of the Teknetics T2, I've had mine for years and I still use it pretty regularly. Once you get them figured out they'll still keep up with about anything out there.
27:45 I find a lot of those unused copper nail-like spikes and copper washers at a site I often hunt. Later, I figured out that the spike goes through a hole in leather, you slip on a washer and hammer the tip of the spike, and that's how you rivet leather together. Looks like you found a large rivet spike. They would have had those at the fort.
Heath, it's so good to see another video out so soon. It is the best of therapies in many ways. Just a thought, the relic at the 28:30 range could be a pipe tamper. God bless you and my prayers seem to have been answered.
Aside from your definiton of why the nick name for Buffalo soldiers was given to themm It was their nappy hair much like that of a Buffalo that The indigenous people called them that.
I found a Henry (dual rimm 40c Phillips-Ohio) shell at 19" with my Minelab 5000. So much fun... p.s. nearly every Buffalo soldier calvary and infantry went through Ft. Concho San Angelo. 12:09
If you are about 80 miles from El Paso, you are probably near or on the site of Fort Quitman, not Fort Stockton.Actually, Fort Stockton still stands today in the town of Fort Stockton, Texas just west of Odessa Texas. Many buildings and the parade field still stand today. There is also a museum located on the grounds of the old fort,. Also the term Buffalo Soldier was in fact given to the black soldiers because the Indians thought the hair of the black soldiers closely resembled that of the buffalo . Not quite sure where your located in this video, but there were some outposts between Fort Stockton and El Paso, which are 241 miles apart. I did enjoy your video you got some cool finds.
Indians called those soldiers "buffalo soldiers" because they have curly hair like a buffalo bull. That explanation was recorded many times by people there on the ground at the time.
Could be but they are like that at a Spanish American War camp where we find 45-70 rounds too. We know there was no farming where we find those and they are crushed the exact same way.
the cartridge casing are smashed by mother natures frost and farming definitely crunches on them..the men didnt smash them down..for 1 they wouldnt have the time to and there was no reason to either..natives did not reload any of the spent casings however they did have stolen 45-70's some of the large short casings are 50 cal spencers
The 1873 45/70 trapdoor did fire a centerfire cartridge, i have two of them,one an 1878 the other an1884 , as far as reloading them? I am fairly sure that the Indians had not only the knowledge but the equipment to reload them
I have been near this location if you are talking about Lobo and if you are I have some questions and info that could be awesome to know..that is all I can say on this site
@HistorySeekers if you want to know were the Buffalo soldiers stayed I can put you in the camp and you want to do some exploring for a bigger pay day I only want my % of equal shares
Replay this video, replay this video and listen, listen to how many times, how many times you say things, say things twice, twice. It's pretty frequent, frequent!
7uI doubt very seriously the Indians had the technology to reload them, especially when it was a rimfire cartridge like they originally......no body did. It would have been even harder for them to do when they redesigned them as center fire. The story about them deform the cartridge so they couldn't be reloaded is one of those myths that gets told so much it eventually is held up as the truth. Not only that they are in a farmed field by the looks of it and would more likely are crushed from being run over by farm machinery. Plus, the brass or copper used was thinner than modern brass cases.
Much more likely they got dropped in stepped on after they were fired the gun does not distort them. They were not crushed to prevent reloading because Indians did not have primers to put in them by the way was the Infantry load and the and the nominal trapdoor Springfield most of them carried. The carbine was detune so to speak to relieve the massive recoil. Instead of the 70 grains of black powder the Caribbean load was 55 you can't tell it externally. Same casing same bullet just less powder

This is the true origin of the term Buffalo Soldier. That other guy was too color scared to tell the truth.
True The guy was just being PC
If a Black was allow to Mary a Squaw . He would Be considered good Luck . And Gods would Smile on that Tribe .
What a great hunt! You both found some great history as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching. It was a lot of fun.
Cool
Those are some great relics from the fort! Enjoyed watching, man.
They were called "Buffalo Soldiers " because their hair reminded the Indians of the Buffalo's hair, period. No other reason.
Appreciate the history info!! The finds are pretty cool too 😁
Thanks brother
Great finds! Lots of history found and recovered.
Glad you enjoyed it.
its good to see you smile
I’ve always wanted to detect that area. Looks like an awesome time!
Man you need to take a trip with us one day soon.
Great hunt at the fort site. Thanks for bringing us along

The lead seal nails were used to hold down roofing tin, they were still available in the 1960’s. Used them when I was a kid.
Old casings found at Montana Indian wars forts are also smashed. I think it kept the enemy from reusing the casing.
Very cool! Lots of history there!
Very cool relics !!
Thank you!

Hmmm could be!
Very cool ! Nice saves !

Hey hey.. seems like u found a great place..
Keep it seeking..
Cool
The Buffalo soldiers were issued the same uniforms as everyone else, civ war uniforms were used until 1873 or 1874 as getting uniforms west took time.
Great video
Thank you for watching!
Hey Russ. Hello from Lubbock Texas
Still awesome find
Not lost, just not public. There is some other neat places nearby.
I found a Henry (dual rimm 40c Phillips-Ohio) shell at 19" with my Minelab 5000. So much fun...

Many years while station at Ft. Huachuca, AZ.

Indians called those soldiers "buffalo soldiers" because they have curly hair like a buffalo bull. That explanation was recorded many times by people there on the ground at the time.
Good stuff! --Joe Angel
Thanks Joe! I appreciate your support brother.
Nice finds! Do you think that maybe the cartridge cases are crushed due to decades of farm equipment running over them?
Could be but they are like that at a Spanish American War camp where we find 45-70 rounds too. We know there was no farming where we find those and they are crushed the exact same way.
Very nice video
Thank you

Fort Stockton is over 200 miles away from El Paso TX
unfortunately I mislabled it. It was Handcock....sorry about that.
Williams cleaner.missing the bacy
I have been near this location if you are talking about Lobo and if you are I have some questions and info that could be awesome to know..that is all I can say on this site
I actually mislabled this site. It is Fort Handcock.
@HistorySeekers is that at Lobo and valentine
@HistorySeekers if you want to know were the Buffalo soldiers stayed I can put you in the camp and you want to do some exploring for a bigger pay day I only want my % of equal shares
@HistorySeekers ps not interested in being videoed
@HistorySeekers I found those bullets in fort stockton at my old house I sold big tree was making them surface
The bullet at 21:14 might be a Williams Cleaner
I believe you meant Fort Hancock if you're near El Paso TX.
Yes sorry
Way outside of el paso
The casing is 50-70
Looks like. 45 colt case. Just saying
Seeing any mesas?
No
I guess they are more towards NM. They are something to see.
But some of the finds are buttes.
Thought the name came from the soldiers' hair and how the Indians believed it looked like the Buffalo's coat
I am not sure. Maybe.
Most of my knowledge is civil era
Replay this video, replay this video and listen, listen to how many times, how many times you say things, say things twice, twice. It's pretty frequent, frequent!
looks like a 44 pistol bullet.
The soldiers smashed the empty cartridges so the Indians couldn't reload them
7uI doubt very seriously the Indians had the technology to reload them, especially when it was a rimfire cartridge like they originally......no body did. It would have been even harder for them to do when they redesigned them as center fire.

Don't ya mean curly hair? not tough as a buffalo.
Those the junk sector and go to Walmart
It’s pretty embarrassing when a guide can’t even pronounce CAVALRY
