I just happened across this and the thing that stuck out was how much enthusiasm, joy, and excitement your youngers show. The respect was the icing on the cake. The collective knowledge base you have going is very cool Much respect to the 'dad' for his knowledge and for being out there. What a treasure trove

Hearing you young men being so respectful to each other and mostly, the thanks that you gave to our Lord, just melts this old ladies heart! God bless you and happy hunting!

Really? Fence jumping just to metal detect? I didn't think metal detecting was popular enough for people to want to do that.

In the early 70s My Father and I would often side track from wherever we were going and ride sections of the Oregon trail in Wyoming. At that time, there were still recognizable items laying on the ground...mostly larger furniture. Even at my young age, I felt sad to see part of some ones dream that had to be left behind to lighten the wagon for South Pass.

That was an amazing find. Congratulations on finding an area so rich in history.

Brother....you're a man amongst men. Why? Because at 6:56 you had the "stones" to say out loud and with heartfelt meaning "THANK YOU LORD!". That means everything to me to see/hear a person do that when they've had a bit of good luck come their way. I'm 66, been saying/acknowledging out loud to The Lord for decades....and when I say that, I don't at all mean to infer that I'm any better than any other human walking around. I didn't always have that frame of mind, and am so thankful to The Lord that he stuck by me when I was a pretty miserable person in this life. And my guess is that all your buds in this video are the same type of good men as you are....God Bless you all. I sure enjoyed this vid. Makes me want to take up this hobby. I've always been into being by myself and wandering around fields and such looking for arrowheads and pottery sherds. Regards from Tucson, Arizona.

Gentlemen, what a successful expedition! Fascinating that you found so many minié balls in the one spot. it was used by the Army in the 1861 Springfield rifle during the Civil War, so that may help to date your finds. Makes sense to me that the Army would camp up on a bluff so that they could oversee and command the area from a defensible spot. So many buttons too...wonder if there was a skirmish, or ? I have an idea for y'all. Get some tracking tape like hunters use when they want to mark a blood trail, or surveyors tape used in construction sites. Get a bunch. of sticks or stiff wire or even chopsticks and whenever you guys find something, mark it with a flag. It would have been interesting to see an overhead view form the drone and see if there was some kind of pattern. You could even color code them for coins, buttons, weapons, etc. Keep it up guys, what a great site you found!

These all great finds these young men congratulations to them and God bless them always and abundantly

The more they discover these things the more they discovered the history of that area. This is what makes it so amazing about what they're doing cuz it helps to link the historical value of the area to the lives of people that were there and why and what happened to them. As well as the era. I think it would be nice for mr. Wother a forensic archaeologist to survey this area historically and physically find out about the historical events of this area. It doesn't look like it a Battlefield simply because of all the unused ammunition yet the buttons found seem to indicate left uniforms and possible bodies left or recovered at one time. Maybe a small skirmish at one time happened here. Now this is just speculation on my part.

Not necessarily Kimberly. In those days soldiers didn't have a change of uniforms if away from their base of opperations like soldiers of today. An army on the move was pretty much using the same clothing as their wagons transported their food and ammunition. Sometimes they carried a bed roll, back pack, waist belts with ammo pouches, canteen, bayonet & scabber, and a heavy musket. Soldiers would often scavenge clothing and equipment from their deceased comrades just to keep going. As clothing in those days were mostly made of wool or cotton, and buttons were sewn with cotton thread. This thread rotted rather quickly and the movements of putting on and off gear would commonly pop buttons. This would be particularly true when hastily preparing for a skirmish. I would have to think that if there had been a body there one would have found numerous other buttons close to the others. I would also think, that unless the ground had been scrapped, a body(s) would have been much deeper.

He was working with the CCC. His mother "enslaved" her 3 sons who were 14, 15 and 13 by signing that they were old enough to work in the CCC.... another long story... hahaha. But my family was between York and Henderson. As a child Grammar would take me with her to the Seward museum trying to get it started. I think it was a large room to see and another room with storage, that was 50 years ago lol. I know there were many boxes of things we took. I don't think any of the other grandkids were shown the attic like I was. Grammar has boxes all kept with the year on them. I remember her showing me an elaborate gold 20s flapper dress and ALL of the movie playbills from the first movies shown in Nebraska. I remember all of the heirloom hair pictures, all of the aerial pictures of all the farms in York county, maps of the original plots given out for farms homesteads. I was the weird child that loved all that stuff. I would sit on the stairs and read all of the old movie magazines the stacks went from base of riser to the ceiling. Guess being out in the middle of no one on a farm you savored the glamour. I don't remember what they call them but she had 10+ boxes of those pictures you looked thru with a viewer that 3-D'd the pictures. I thought she had taken over some of the boxes to the museum. I remember only one specific to the area and it was a large church that had caught fire. We lived in many states and only went out to Grammar and Grandpa's once a year every year. We always stayed a week. Grandpa actually found my iron bed out on the trail while plowing with me on his lap. We only found the headboard and footboard and I had to get other railings but his out buildings had tons of things in it he had come across. Sorry I got to babbling going down memory lane lol. Most people look at NE and just see cornfields, not me! I remember the crop rotations (used to remember their order lol) I know my cousins lost all of anything small Grammar had in the dresser on the front porch lol it would be fun to go find that stuff but when they sold the farm the moron who bought it burned the house down. I bet he never knew that if he had dismantled it he would have found so much history in that attic. It went back to when the first built the house in the1860s. LOL My worst allergy is Cottonwood hahaha and my Great Great Grandpa had planted tons of Cottonwood's on his homestead because they grew fastest and biggest lol. just some of the stupid things I remember lol. I am so glad to know there are younger ones remembering history. My son was 26 when he passed in a car accident in May. Before he was 10 I know I had drug him thru and to over 200 museums, civil war reenactments and historic places. I am a firm believer of if you don't know where you are from you will never know where you are going because you want to make sure bad history does not repeat its self. my email is @yahoo.com Keep up the great work lol I will stop babbling now hahaha I am disabled and fal into the KZread black hole lol but I loved it when I used to metal detect as a kid I had a Compass which still worked but my demon possessed sister threw away in June when she cleaned out my parents house. Some people just aren't real smart hahaha. OMG I am sorry I am babbling so badly, it got cold and pain shot up... my therapist told me not to stop babbling hahaha and to never erase lol.

The seated half dollar runs $70 on average. These coins are far from mint. Still cool though

Thanks Julie!

That may have been a quartermaster encampment.

Outstanding. Wayne had one of the most amazing silver days I've ever seen. And that large cent was beautiful. All the coins except the one looked like they arrived new in a payroll to the soldiers lol. The US , D, R and D buttons all in one day. That's so cool. That was a crazy bullet spill. Congratulations to you all. Very cool to watch. Good luck, happy hunting and take care.

Thanks man! Yes virtually all the coins are in amazing shape and look like they were lost in the 1850s. Glad you enjoyed and I look forward to bringing more videos out of this site!

This was an enjoyable video. This is the first time I've watched your channel, you could say, I stumbled upon it and I'm so glad I did. This kept me on the edge of my seat expecting another button, silver coin or, bullets. This was very exciting for me. There's a lot of history there. Just to walk where the Pioneers walked would be a thrill for me. Congratulations fellas. I'm looking forward to more exciting videos. Stan

...nice to see the spray. I cringe when I see people scraping their coins and buttons

Keep rubbing. Best thing a detectorist can do.

What you found in the ground are what are called "freedom seeds"

Ive walked the ruts in 2 places along the Trail…its inspiring

So HOW do you find the owner of the property to ask permission?? Do they live ON the property?

That must have been a camp site

Thanks for sharing this video with us.

What an amazing hunt, congratulations to all of you.
