Yes, as Detectorists we are excited when we find something a few hundred years old. It would be amazing to find something a few thousand years old!

Thanks Mona! We were glad that Matt tipped us off on a great location and We were fortunate to be able to find so much info and the story about that site. Thanks as always for watching!

Matt ROCKS!!! You ALL do!!! 💖💖💖@@detectingpa8968

Thanks Allen! We appreciate that!

Thanks! We really appreciate that. Not too often we get to detect around a blockhouse site!

You bet! Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Thanks Guided!

Thanks as always Nora! We appreciate the support and kind words. It really does help us keep wanting to go the extra mile!

Thanks! Good luck out there!

Thanks, we will be back again!

Thanks! Grapes or cannonballs. No one will ever know! lol

Thanks! We appreciate that.

Thanks!

A very good location. Not the forest, but still fun!

We are right here Maggie! Glad you found us again! 😁😁

Every time I watch you guys I score silver. 2 more today a signer ring and a st Christopher both marked Sterling

SWEET! keep digging Man! I need some silver soon!

@@detectingpa8968 my turn to pass on so Good Luck to you. And thank you

Thanks for subbing! We appreciate it. 😁

Thanks Toby! It was a blast out there. Thanks as always for watching and the comment!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks Seth! Appreciate it. Good luck out there.

Thanks. We have plans to. Hopefully before the corn or beans are planted!

Thanks Zach! They arnt all as Amazing as this one but we do occasionally stumble across something like this! Thanks as always!

Wow! Great to see some people from the UK! Hope to some day detect over there. Thanks for watching

I see what you did there. lol. Comment included the answer 😁 and thanks for the compliment!

Tomato…..tomawto….same thing! Hahaha!

Glad you resubbed! And nice to have you back. Jerry joined my (Shawn) old channel, and then we came back to this channel which is originally all his. This channel was idle for a while.

Thanks for the kind words! See ya next week!

Thanks Dave, we are in Armstrong County. we have another good story to tell this weekend. Make sure you stop back.

Thanks Paul. We can do that. Most times the iron just looks like a glob or something lol. We can always incorporate more iron into the videos.

​@@detectingpa8968 thank you for the reply, I'm from California and search for 1700-1800 lost settlements mainly Spanish and 49er gold relics. I listen for ferrous sounds, a lot of iron will remain from structures, settlements etc. if you can at least incorporate this on future videos, the presence of large amounts of iron is an indicator the structure or settlement is found. At least, Iet us know you are hearing a lot of iron when zeroing in on a structure. Love your videos, keep up the hunt!

Thanks george

Thanks!

Thanks! Will do!

Thanks Scott! Appreciate the support!

No, must be different but I’m sure these block houses were built in very similar places

Welcome and glad to have you here! Enjoy!

@@detectingpa8968 I'm glad to be able to "come along" with you on your hunts...

Thanks Leo!

Thanks! We hope to get back out there soon. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Jay! We appreciate the help! Wish it stood out more! Thanks again!

Yes it does. CHIGG is much further south than Us I believe

Thanks for watching! A blockhouse would have been a structure that was built by the settlers of a region to seek refuge from an Indian attack. There were portholes in the blockhouse to defend against them as well. Essentially it was a line of defense.

High Land

Thanks Vergil and you are correct. It’s a Rage broadhead. God bless!

Thank you!!

Thanks James. Just trying to put out the best content we can!

Definitely looks kinda Squatchy!

One of our early videos Shawn filmed what he thought was a Sasquatch yell. Check it out! ukposts.info/have/v-deo/h3hkimagmaeVroU.htmlsi=AGhYIiIetPt4n-sR

@detectingpa8968 Cool man ! I'll check it out !

Thanks Richard. Good luck to you too! Treasures await!

Thanks John!

I would venture to get that most that travelled to this area in late 1700s would likely build them if they were the first in that area. Thanks for watching!

Very well could be. Thanks for the ID help.

That’s a good thought on that first piece. That’s what it looks like. Thanks for watching

Thank you. Matt said he has pulled arrow heads out of the bank of the Crick just below the site. If we go back we will get the detectors on that hillside some. Thanks as always for watching!

@@detectingpa8968before I began actually looking for items in the ground, I was on a daytrip to Point Lookout,Md. (Most haunted place in Maryland) In addition to a historic lighthouse, there was a prison camp to hold confederate soldiers. It is located at the mouth of the Potomac. I was walking the river at low tide and saw "things" in the river bank. I left that day with a brass button and started my quest for relics of American history.

Not sure, others have guess both of the things you have guessed. Very possible.

Possibly!

LOL! Those military buttons are awesome. It definitely had me fooled for a second.

We may be making a trip to eastern Pa at some point. Possibly get together then.

Could be! The chain that was found someone ID it as the chain to the bridal. Thanks for watching

Thanks for the info Ted! Thanks for watching

Poor thread and hard work.

⁠@@detectingpa8968 Hard work. Thread 🧵 was probably way better than the crap that’s out nowadays. Plus men wore shirts with buttons back then. I’m only 43. I’m American Romanian. Was born there and grew up in America since i was 8. My old man escaped communism in the early 80’s and Ronald Reagan gave him political asylum because he was an engineer and had something to offer to America and wasn’t just here for a handout. My parents were the first generation to be born in a major city. My grandparents were the first to leave the country and move to the cities for factory jobs but in reality, my grandparents were also the first people to have electricity and refrigeration in early adulthood. Prior to that my grandparents and their parents and so on, were farmers without much difference between people in the 1700’s and themselves. My great grandma literally made everything by hand. All the clothes, everything from scratch. Everything! Soap! Everything. My parents were the first generation to use commercial soap. You can only imagine how healthy our skins are. There’s zero history of eczema or acne anywhere in my family. Those people made everything from the dirt. With their hands. And lost a lot of buttons.

Thanks for the ID

Wow! Long ways away. Glad to have you here!

Could be. Thanks for the ID help!

Fantastic! Those are dream sites! Hope you find another! We will continue to look as well! Thanks for watching and sharing!

lol. Yea, I was fooled.

Yea, we might be able to find it. There was a lot of dirt moved around there.

Thanks Matt. We definitely need to study coins a little more.

May have!

Definitely if it’s the one I’m thinking of. Beautiful and peaceful place

Very well could have been!

That’s awesome to know your family history!

Yea, we do our best to research the areas. The difficult part is trying to find the sites from the old stories. It’s fun to do though.

Was definitely an 1817! Cleaned up at home real nice.

Yep! Good eye

No, different area. We are in Western PA. CHIGG hunts south of us. VA MD area. Wish we were closer to that area.

Thanks. If we do yards (which is rare) we fill holes back in with no trace left behind. In the woods or middle of a working farm field, it’s not as important. The tractor will dig the dirt up worse than our little holes.

Thank for the tip! We might make it up that way some day.

😂😂 good times.

Crazy times for sure. And how awesome to have history to be told within your family. Be sure to keep the legacy alive!

We were thinking to a musket. Do you happen to know what brand or model? Would love to find the exact model.

Thanks for the ID help Amy!

😲

Yep! No doubt you’re an Archery Hunter. Thanks for the comment!

You tell us! Haha

Rage. Thanks for the guess though.

Imagine living hour by hour looking over your shoulder. Whether you were Native American or European there was a constant threat to your life. To me, that’s unbelievable. And the fact that it happened where we walked makes it even more unreal.

@@detectingpa8968: Thanks for the reply. I get it now.

Thanks!

Non sure if you’re being sarcastic but we will take it as a comment lol. We haven’t served but both our fathers and many family members have. I work in healthcare at the VA taking care of Veterans! We owe everything to them! Thanks for watching and thanks for your service if you have!

Forest and farm fields that get plowed land owners don’t worry about as much. Yard’s absolutely. Can’t tell we ever dug a hole but we don’t spend to much time in yards anymore.

@@detectingpa8968 nice, I didn’t expect a reply, thanks!.. while I understand the logic, I always fill all my digs whether in a yard or a farm field.. just how I roll…. Great video and awesome finds too!

@@brctom1 ankle breakers for people and cattle ,,,irresponsible

Depends what we are talking about here. 😂😂

You do realize that 95% of metal detecting is digging trash, right? We are hardly going to film us digging up trash. Content relies on finds. We don’t start filming until we see what was in the hole. Perhaps you should pick up a metal detector and go film yourself digging all trash. Upload that mess to UKposts and then come back here and tell us how to run the channel. Thanks for watching.

@@detectingpa8968 Other channels similar to yours first show the dig ground and then what they found, even if it is trash. Your's just looks faked for the views, just like so many pawn shop shows where they buy stuff worth hundreds of thousands. If you would post actual finds that are worth anything you would be reduced do 3 maybe 4 videos a year. So yeah, as much you you try to BS people it is more than obvious it's all fake and staged. P.S. Don't bother thanking me for watching i didn't waste time going through the whole video, first few minutes were enough to understand you're just looking for views and easy money.

👍

@@detectingpa8968 Thanks for deleting my latest reply, it just goes to show just how fake, lazy and lame you are.

Cool! We will check it out! One day we hope to detect overseas and make an epic video about the history we find.

Could have been. Lol!!!
