The item you pick up on 2:51 second is a wagon brake, there you control the stick (that part was on your hand ) position that press the wheel of the wagon to control speed. We used from 1800 to 1960.
Love the Drone shots. Adds an awesome element. Nice button!

Absolutely killer video. That gold guilt eagle button is in immaculate condition. Awesome discoveries. That's what I love about exploring is the nature and environment you are in and being able to see the scenery that's amount you as you hunt. Looking into the vastness of the past!
Truly Awesome sharing here ! 5 thumbs up high :-)
Hey, I really like how you incorporate the arial shots in your adventures. It gives great over-view and appeals to those who respond to area/shape details rather than the nitty gritty. Truly unique and professional. Outstanding effort - thank you!

You sir, are a top tier content creator! Thank you for being awesome. Happy diggin'
Awesome finds completely off the grid, nice!!
this video had me salivating!!!! I'm a old bottle junky. I wish I could have been there. I live in Missouri where you usually don't get to find stuff that old
Very cool gold gilt eagle button and ornate women's pin. Awesome views.
Very nice, looks like a wonderful adventure. Nice long shots, wow.
Awesome editing Brandon. Another great adventure. That was very nice of you to let TJ dig that rifle casing. Too funny!
I bought your book and it came today. Can't wait to read it!!!
Very cool sites. Great finds. You can feel the history.
Boy the drone really adds to the dig. You can see the lay of the land , like foundations and trails..... great dig ..... Steve
I think the eagle button was the best find. Great episode!
Very cool video Doc! Love the camera work with your new drone. Nice find on the Eagle button. Happy Hunting! Cheers!
Very enjoyable video.I got so excited when you guys found that stuff that I forgot for a moment that it wasn't me finding it.lol Even made me crack up a few times.Cant ask for anything more.......unless,lol ,you are hopefully planning on visiting that underground place from your other video? Imagine and I'm sure that you do that those everyday buttons actually belonged to someone.Sigh...
You and Aqua Chigger make the best metal detecting videos ever.

I just got done watching some of your videos and have to say that while your finds were interesting, (both new and old relics, especially the dress buttons) I really found the buildings fascinating. Questions arise in my mind like, who lived there, when were they there, singles or families, did they have livestock, why were they there, what did they do, how did they live, who were their neighbors and how close were they.
Honestly, you guys deserve way more subscribers than 52,000 (not that that is a bad number). You are knowledgeable detectorists and professional video makers. Keep going!
Great finds guys and what beautiful country ! Can't wait for your next video and happy hunting.
I like the way your friend say "WE" found a button!
I've enjoyed your video and because of it I have subscribed and hope to enjoy all of them!
This was a random first time view of one of your vids. Probably because I watch ALOT of Aquachigger vids, so yours popped up. I really liked the sleepy guitar interludes a lot. I also liked the drone footage. The locale was a different sort of environment from what I am use to watching. Hope you go back and find some more nice items. I actually have one of those white jars that you found right off the bat. Found mine on a construction job in the sand at a beach cottage we remodeled and added on to. I think it was some sort of facial cream jar. The metal lids rust away to nothing. Ok, keep up the good work. About to check out some more of your vids.
the hinged item wasn't a buckle, it was a small coin purse. Would have had leather pockets. good find on the Eagle Button.
great video as usual... the Drone footage adds to it... amazing how it seems that I'm just stop to some of these old locations thanks for sharing... gregg
I am curious about the analytics of everything. This guy only has 25k subscribers but his videos are the best in the metal detecting/treasure/exploring category by far. Im surprised he does not have at least 100k subs. His videos are way better then all the other metal detecting videos on youtube -_-... (no offense to them)

That drone camera angle just makes this video amazing!! I kind of want one now :)
nice button find in the middle of nowhere!
you probably know this by now but the peace you picked up at start of video was a part of a wagon brake. the handle you pulled to lock the front wheels locked in to those notches
Definitely the best MD videos best quality on you tube
Great adventure sweet finds
Great video . Keep up the good work

The oval metal ring with saw teeth in the center may be off a horse drawn wagon and is the brake latch. The brake lever had a small piece of metal that would lock into the saw-teeth to hold the brake. Just a guess as I've seen similar on wagons. The Eagle button was probably from the Paiute War of 1864 to 1868, which involved General Crook, Paiutes, Bannocks and Shoshone.
Good job on the video, nice for you to be in dry country like that, up here in WA everything is soggy and overgrown, log cabins have melted and become berry bushes. Anyway, great job on the video, keep up the good work!
Really enjoyed your video. I really like the drone shots, they seem to add a lot and show the whole view. Thanks for sharing. HH
2.54 might be a fireplace hook. You can place your pot lower and higher on a hook depending how much heat you need.
That was fun! :)
Great finds and lovely area. I wished your video was longer.

I got a hot lead on a park that's on maps from 1893 and the land is undeveloped today. This next summer, it's my first area of interest.
Great job!
They left behind no treasures, only junk. You found things that were treasures to you.
You guys are enjoying to watch. You're funny and down to earth, I like that. You're not some crazy lunatics like a lot of other people are, and I can't stand them.
great video thanks!
The woman's neck broch. Is really a decorated horses bridal face piece. I found one really close looking to the one you found.
I saw in the beginning of this video, that you are in Northern Nevada. I find this interesting, because I own a two acre lot in Northeastern Nevada, in Elko County, near the town of Montello, which I plan to call home, as soon as I can acquire what I will need to live there. I have not been there in person yet, and I have owned the lot for a couple of years. Thanks for showing me the terrain in the area. I have been able to see a little of it in other videos, and on Google earth. Maybe sometime this summer, or next summer, I will actually be able to see my lot in person.

I do believe you are correct, and thanks for your response. I used to have a smaller lot in Texas, and for reasons I won't detail here, things did not work out--because I was not sufficiently prepared. But, I did stay there a while, in a tent, and even though I was living kind of rough, and definitely broke...I never felt as free in my life, as living on my own lot, paid in full, with no bills, mortgage, or rent.
Dude that's a sweet m1883-1902 Eagle Button. We call em Indian War buttons but you have to remember these same buttons were worn by S.A.W. Troops when they invaded Cuba. Loved the video bud.

Your button is post civil war. That was first used in 1876 and was used until 1902 when the great seal came out.
That iron piece you found with the teeth on it is the parking brake to a horse drawn wagon.
I love the glass that turns in the sun. Makers put copper oxide or manganese dioxide in the making of glass to make it clear, only to find out that the sun turned it blue or purple. I believe your buckle is probably a compact that a woman would carry. I think that the piece that looked like a giant iron piece to a suspender clip, I think that was a part to a pot hook from a fireplace or outdoor fire. So you could adjust the heat.
That 'other half of the buckle' looks more like a snuff box when you put'em together.
02:50 ... the metal 'oval' with the 'teeth'. Just a thought... It looks like it could be part of a weighing scale. My family were Stone Mason's and we had a couple of large, very old, weighing devices in the garden that were rusting away when I was growing up. They were much bigger than this, but the principle would have been the same.... You had an arm sticking out that had a (small) counterweight that you moved along the teeth and that gave you the (larger) weight of what you were weighing. I see that there are 8 'indents' where a counterweight could be moved along, Maybe its coincidence but it could have been 2Lb increments because 7 x 2Lb is a Stone and so the '8th' indent took you to the next Stone up/down. The principle of the teeth being enclosed within a loop was simply so as you were less likely to lose the small counterweight(s), because if it was just an 'arm' they could be knocked off with the vibration of putting things on/off the scale and you'd forever be picking them up off the floor! I used to spend hours playing with the scales so, although I've not explained myself very well, the loop with teeth inside one length do look very familiar!
Do not know if anyone told you what you had found at around 2:45 but it was a plow or some horse-pulled implement. The teeth are for adjustments in depth or height, depending on what it was. A plow, mower or planter.

You're getting better and better at these. I love that you bleeped your profanity with detector beeps.
i think your "buckle" is really a gentleman's snuff box . or perhaps a ladies compact . could also have been a picture locket . good stuff guy's .
got to warn ya... on state and federal lands, ANYTHING over 50 years old is considered an artifact. It is considered LOOTING and punishable by fine and or prison. I am near 60 and a fed jumped my ass for a horse shoe, so I asked him if my 1953 chevy breaks down on fed land . do I just have to stay there for ever? Because my truck and I are an artifact ... right!? Great vid,

Hey Dr the metal unknown gator tooth like was a wagon rear brake catch device. There shown every time the stage coach pulls in front of the grandest Hotel in town! A wooden leaver some 1 1/2” by 3” by like 32 to 40” attached next to the front axle hub. A metal rod some 3’ long connecting to a barrel band like brake on real axle. LOL
Your videos are more like TV reality shows. Meaning they are very easy to watch and keep an individual tuned in for the deration. Did you go to school to learn how to make these or was it all self taught?
Wow! A surface find bonanza!
l read your book . l liked it so much I read it twice.
Very cool site .
got some cool stuff site 2 reminds me of some places I hunt. I never really find much at them but I go back because its just such a cool place.

It would be cool to rebuild location 2 and use it as a getaway place.

Your broach might also be a hair fastener ? Great stuff. I have a metal detector and have done limited searches. Do you have any info. on Montana (in your book) ? I'm moving to that area.
that old belt buckle looked like a snuff box
I use a fisher F5 with core DD fortune finder/ found a 1877 10 d gold in a weird little bottle that was like melted on two sides like it was pinched when melted, do you know what that means,
I can tell you where to find an old model t ford pickup plus much more than that. My parents back yard. my dad barried it 60 some yrs ago. I dug it up once as a kid bed was in decent condition. along with few other vehicles.

Very fun site, and you're lookin' pretty good in that thar cowboy hat. : ) Not sure but the silver looking thing with the designs on it that you called a buckle, may have been what a lady would wear hanging from her belt on her dress. When I was very young my family lived in Nevada. My oldest brother use to go out in the dessert every summer without food and water, for a little walkabout. He knew the dessert very well and after being out there for three weeks, a month, he would go home weighing more than when he left. He said that one time he found an Indian, Army scout in full Army uniform, just sitting in the side of a sand hill. He had enough respect or fear Lol : ) to not disturb the Indian scout. Good for him. Wish I could have gone on one of those adventures with him, just to learn from him, but I was just a couple years old then. I do remember our family going on rock and relic hunts in Nevada together. It runs in the blood ya know.

Bob Marley I do!!! A lot of people in the hobby give me TONS of grief about selling the items I have found BUT I have been able to upgrade equipment, camera gear and travel the world on selling what I’ve found. The experience of finding something is what I’m after. I have no need to keep random items on a shelf... after all... I can’t take them with me in the end AND if I can pay for another trip, to experience other finds with friends and family... im’a do it! You only live once and I’d much rather keep finding stuff with the people I love while I’m here.
