Every time I open my fridge now, this little voice in my head says, "This week on the Hoover Boys...." Gives me a good chuckle. Loved the video. About 17 years ago, I bought a collection of finds from an estate of an amateur archeologist of sorts. Most of the items came from southern Ontario. In the collection was a small jar of buttons, which I ignored for a while. Later, when bored, I went through the jar of buttons and there was one that was unusual. It was bronze-ish and over an inch in diameter, the shank was gone. I stuck it in a drawer with the intent of searching the internet to see if I could identify it. Many months later I pulled it out of the drawer, examined it and started my search. It was a George Washington Inauguration button. What fun. Sadly, I had to sell it to make a mortgage payment. :(

Lovely story Lori. Thank you for sharing

[@coogshunt3626]

The Hoover Boys Now watching again just because I'm a loyal subscriber. ..&).Specially when Historic relics are discovered. ..&)

[@threefortytwo23]

Thanks Kurt, this video means a lot to me. I was absolutely wrecked. It's a rush that I can't explain. Rare coins and coppers are something, but this find, my greatest to date, moved me in a way that I can't describe. My eyes were watering, heart was pounding out of my chest, one of those few instances where you have to walk away from the hole. This find also helped me get my head straight mentally. After damaging one, and even destroying another rare coin, pulling this out of a farm field unscathed by my shovel has really helped the psyche. Huge thanks to all who watched and enjoyed this button coming back to life!

[@dannybell926]

Congratulations Brad. That is an amazing piece of history that you unearthed. Good luck on your next hunt

[@JrCoker-vu7or]

Great job Brad. Always enjoy The Hoover Boys videos. One of these days I am gonna go for a long drive and come dig with you guys. Happy Hunting in the dirt and the streets! Jr. Coker

[@chriskelly3551]

awesome find Brad... congrats you all are my digging idle. But you may be MVP today.

[@ncman83]

Congrats man. I just got into detecting. Have basic cheap detector at the moment and my only trip out i found an old tootise car. Maybe one day I can be lucky enough to find some good old history. The car belonged to one of my uncles

[@nicksivds]

Nice job dude!! But... it is painfully obvious that that button was destroyed by your shovel!! You expect us to believe a plow did that??? C’mon man LOL

[@tamilatorraca-piumarta1079]

This group of people make me smile. I stumbled across your channel about a year ago. I don’t metal detect I don’t treasure hunt. But I sure live vicariously through you. Thank you all for saving history!

[@threefortytwo23]

I love comments like this. Thanks so much for watching us goof off. Means a lot.

[@thehooverboys]

We appreciate it Tami! It means a lot. All the best

[@soupdragon12345]

Today I took my citizenship test and passed , one of the questions I was asked was . Who was the first president? I knew the answer and told the Immigration officer I had been to Mount Vernon and seen George Washington’s grave . I got very emotional seeing that button and Listening to You give that history lesson. Kurt I really like your channel and congratulations to Brad , wow amazing find . My citizenship ceremony probably will not be till February. Merry Christmas Andrew .

[@threefortytwo23]

Wow! Congratulations on your citizenship, well done.

[@thehooverboys]

That’s awesome! Congratulations Andrew. All the best

[@stephen12264]

Welcome to The United States Of America we are very pleased to have you as a citizen you are now an American brother. Congrats

[@smkosic]

Welcome to the USA!

[@davideasterling2729]

Another incredible piece of history rescued from the gnashing teeth of the field plow, congratulations Brad! You're as lucky as you are skilled. Finding early relics is always amazing, but especially so when they are DIRECTLY connected to the very beginning of this great nation. Well done sir!

[@ThistlesJones]

What do I love most about the Hoover Boys? Their excitement when "Bucket Listers" or other great finds are dug up; very honest and genuine. Love the passion they show for the things they love, to include their family, friends and let's not forget the respect they hold for the land owners. Well done boys, well done.

[@thehooverboys]

Thank you for the kind words Don. It’s greatly appreciated

[@MrRoach-yo3mz]

Brad, Congratulations to such an incredible find, not to mention all of you guys being the classiest bunch of patriotic treasure hunters i've ever seen! You make this hobby/work look easy on youtube and gives this hobby/sport a true shot in the arm, Im glad we are from the same town/state. Ive been detecting for many years and still learning, thanks Hoover Boys!

[@thehooverboys]

Wonderful comment! We appreciate the kind words and support. All the best

[@threefortytwo23]

THANK YOU!!!

[@RelicRangers]

Congratulations Brad! What a save!

[@ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

Congratulations Brad on the amazing find. What makes this extra special is the fact that the whole world has a chance to see some incredible history after being buried in a field all these years. Thanks Kurt for making that happen. I can not imagine all the work that goes into making each episode. It would be so easy to just keep looking for the next target but you stop to document everyone's finds and put it all in context so that we all get to enjoy The Hover Boys and Compny. Take care.

[@thehooverboys]

Wonderful comment. Thank you for the kind words. Some days are tough. Especially when there’s a lot of coils on the ground. It’s all good though. I did it to myself and I enjoy it. All the best

[@dannywyand6817]

What an incredible find! Thank you guys for taking all of us along on your hunts as you uncover our country's history.

[@oldschoolace619]

Congrats to Brad on the G.W. button. I was going to come up with some sort of silly rhyme but I am just too stunned to think of anything! What an incredible piece of history you just pulled out of the ground there! And people wonder why geeks like us love to swing the coil?!? For moments like that if you are lucky enough to experience it in a life time!!! Brad you are on a very short list my friend!!! I just ask myself why?!? Why?!? Did my ancestors decide to leave the Maryland/Virginia area and move West?!? I might just be digging right there beside you!! Seriously though what an incredible historic save!! Salute!!!

[@thehooverboys]

Thank you for the kind words! We appreciate it. All the best

[@DavidAKALumpy]

[@thehooverboys]

Thanks Stian!

[@IdahoOrv]

I know I don't comment on mist of your vids due to the fact that I watch them on my smart TV and I can't post anything.... Not to smart if you ask me. Anyways, you peeps have the BEST vids out there and the ones that I feel show the most respect for the hobbies. Also have the most knowledge about the items that you find. There are others out there that fig stuff up and don't have a clue what it is. And I am like WHAT?? You don't know what that is? As I droll on my remote control. Lol Keep up the great stuff. Would be a dream to hunt with you guys even if we found nothing but can slaw. The West has its perks but the old stuff is closer to where you are at. And glad to see you save as much history as you possibly can. Kudos to all of ya. And just to say something personally to Brad... You are SICKINING with all those awesome finds over the past few years. But that is meant in the best of ways. But also takes away nothing from what you Kurt, and Bill and the others have found also. To put it simply.... AMAZING!!!! I love this hobbie too and would love to save more history too. Right now trying to get back at it after knee surgery, and a knee that just doesn't want to play nice now. I am hoping before The ground thaws next Spring. Best of luck to all of ya. And a very MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and yours!!!!

[@thehooverboys]

Wow! Thank you for the kind words and support. It goes a long way. All the best to you and Merry Christmas

[@johnschwarzkopf]

I always think the videos can't possibly live up to the hype of the titles but each week I am proven wrong lol

[@threefortytwo23]

Kurtis, you should pin this gentleman's comment, that is high praise. Thanks John.

[@johnschwarzkopf]

You should do a video of each member of hoover boys of all your finds from the years your best and how you display them I think that would be cool to see. I'm in my first year of detecting and its so inspiring to see the finds it makes ya wanna go straight outside and hunt...lol. Awesome as always keep it up gentlemen.

[@wagr9824]

Jr...the boys did a 2017 wrap-up in a video earlier this year...hoping they do another for 2018

[@virginiametaldetecting2485]

Huge congrats to brad for finding something many of us won't. Now there is a man named Leonard Short who professionally straightens and restores buttons and relics. Since brads is not really broken just bent he should consider getting it straightened. It does take a long time though. My dad got a confederate staff and it took almost a year but it was worth it to see the button in great shape. Again, huge congrats to brads and the rest of your finds and HH!
